says
"Staunton naturally feels sore at the
action of some of her sister towns, not
in the precautions nsed to keep the
disease from spreading, but in some
instances at the almost brutal manner
in which the quarantine regulations
are enforced. We sympathize with
our sister city as our experience of
some months back was somewhat sim
liar, but fear makes men very unrea-
sonable at times, and they are apt to
lose their self possession"

IgnOrance-DOgmatism-IntOlera

In these times there is a great said
about finance and currency, single
standard and a double standard, gold
recommendation, silver monometalism,
bimetalism, gold-bugs. silver bugs,
free coinage of silver &C., and we OBJ
serve that men of ability who have
given careful thought to these ques-
tions with the view of understanding
them, if possible, are modest in the ex-
preston of their views on them, and
are tolerent of the views of others; but
ignorant men::who have not the capac-
ity to understand them, and who
have not even studied them, are not
only very bold and positive in the ex-
preston OF their opinions, but are even
dogmatic and intolerant. They know
no more of the true merits of these
questions than an idiot does of int
grail and differential calculus, and yet
they assume to know all about them,
and to the intelligent expose their
ignorance when they imagine they TIRE
demonstrating the truth of the views
they express. Ignorance is the mother
of dOgmatism and intolerance, and
many of those who talk most fiippant-
ly about gold-bugs and silver-bugs are
themselves humbugs.

Mr.. Massey Wins Again.
Motion in His Libel Suit to Reject Defend
ants Pleas Sustained.


In the Norfolk Circuit Court Monday
morning, May 9th, Judge Prentis rem
dered decision on the motion of plain
tiff in the Massey Pilot libel suit to re-
iect all the pleas Of the defendant,
which motion was argued last week.
Judge Prentis said: 1.-THE defendants
the Pilot Publishing Company, Sam.
w. Small, and r. E. Byrd-have rem
dered plea in bar of the action, that
the publication complained of is privi-
legged because it referred to the official
acts of the plaintiff as public officer,
averring that they have only comment
ed on and criticized such acts fairly,
honestly, and without malice, and that
they believed, and had reasonable
cause to believe, that the statements
contained in the publication were true.
The plaintiff has moved to reject this
plea, alleging that it contains no legal
defence in bar of the action" After
setting forth the law and several de
cisions bearing on the case Judge
Prentis concluded as follows:
'It follows. therefore, that the mo
ton to reject the plea must be sustain
ed. Nothing that has been said, how
ever, in rejecting the plea, which as
serts qualified privilege, must be con:
strued as denying the we'll established
circumstances attending the publica-
ton may be proved by the defendants
to negative tie inference of actual
malice in the publisher, and in Mitiga-
ton of the damages"
RULES FOR Hot WEATHER.-The
Philadelphia Times says: 1.-THE first
necessity in extremely hot weather is
to keep the head as cool as possible.
A moist linen handkerchief on the
head under the hat is a sensible pre-
caution. Those who wear heavy wool
en- hats should always have them ven
tilated by orifioes IN the crown. Horses
can be very much protected by a small
linen or muslin awning over the head
between the ears, high enough to al
low a free current of air between it
and the head The tendency of most
men is to drink cooling drinks exces-
sively during the hot weather. 1t is a
mistake. The same people as a rule
who drink beer to warm them up in
winter drink the same beer to cool
them off in summer, and with many
who do not use spirituous liquors it is
the custom to overload the stomach
with all kinds of iced drinks. The
best way to protect against excessive
heat is to eat and drink with great
moderation, and to moderate exercise
as much as the condition and circum.
stances of the person may permit. 1t
is impossible to keep cool in a heated
term such as we have upon us, but the
majority of the people add much to
the oppressiveness of the heat by fret
fitness and indulgences.

CLASSIFYING OF ROSES.
Work to Be at Once Under
taken by the State Floral
Society.
DISPLAY OF FLORAL BEAUTY.
Fine Showing Of Double FlowerIne
Begonias Made by John
II. Sievers.

The State Floral Society has decided to
undertake the work of complete classif-
cation of roses.
This question was brought up before the
meeting of the society in the Y. M. C. A.
building, yesterday afternoon, by H. G.
Pratt of Fruitvale, who read very inter-
esting paper on the subject, and suggested
the appointment of a classification COM
mittee. Mr.. Pratt said:
Many of the points on which botanists base
their classification are of SO little interest to
the people in general-more's the pity-that
rose-growers whose patient and wefl-directed
efforts have worked out an almost miraculous
tranformation of the flower have made CLASH
fications of their own. 1t has been sort of
compromise between scientific and a go-as-
you-please scheme, and as the growers have
done this thing with little concert of action,
but for the most part each to his own liking,
we have what could not well be otherwise
most aggravating muddle.
Every writer of prominence on roses has made
more or less effort to improve this condition of
things, but to little purpose, 80 far as l know.
The trouble is fundamental. The superstruc-
ture is bnilt to great extent on chaos
The terms of the popular classification are
for the most part generally accepted but in
their applicatfon-there's the rub. Just what
is Hybrid Perpetual, Tea, a Bengal, Bour-
bon, d Noisette, Hybrid Noisette, or Hy-
brio Tea, who can tell? The same inquiry
of the other classes which have been consti-
tuted for our convenience and edification, and
the answer would be, Quien sabe?
The society has therefore decided to act
on Mr.. Pratt's suggestion, and at the next
meeting committee of seven will be
chosen to take up the work.
Another display of his magnificent new
California strain of double Towering be-
gonias was made by John II. Sievers, and
the ladies were very enthusiastic over
them.
The original begonia came from the
Andes-from Peru. 1t was rather small
flower com pared with the size to which
Mr.. sievers has since developed his splen-
did specimens in this State by careful n.y.
bridization. Their discovery was made
about twenty years ago. Mr.. Sievers read
very instructive paper on their culture
and development at the July 10 meeting,
and then thoroughly described how to
propagate them, and explained their treat
ment for both indoor and outdoor culture.
Those he had on exhibition yesterday
were indeed marvels in regard to size and
color. The colors varied from a waxen
white to rich pink. The strong growth
of the single Powered varieties is retained,
also their large, shell-like petals.
An important characteristic of them is
that most of the flowers of this improved
strain possess only one center. They are
considered the nearest approach to per-

GUARDED BY ELECTRICITY,
Exotics in the Park Hothouse
Trusted to an Automatic
Device.
A Novel Machine That Keeps the
Temperature Even by Nov
Ing Ventilators.

Electricity has made its appearance in
Golden Gate Park in the most unexpected
manner imaginable. 1t did not come in
the form of the much-discussed arc lamps
Illuminating the avenues, but as silent
guardian of the artificial temperature of the
conservatory.
1t opens and closes ventilators with
faithfulness that cannot be surpassed, and
it stands alone over the tender exotics Civ
ing them warmth when the air inside the
building cools little, and cooling them
when the atmosphere becomes too heated.
1t performs automatically exactly what is
laid out for it to do, ay or night, with
almost human precision.
For the present, however, there is a tenn
porary hitch in the working of the machine.
The six-ceil battery after short time in
use has proved inefficient and a more
powerful battery is being put in its place.
On entering the room to the left immedi-
ately off the main central rotunda the
motor is seen on bracket between the two
doors-a silyer-p plated object resembling
small filter, except for the wheel at one
side and chain to the roof window. There
is also q small wooden box with electric
switches and wires leading to the motor,
and another long chain hanging from the
ventilator with metal weight at the end.
To one side is an indicator and coils con-
nected with the motor and batteries hid

WE'RE BOTH TOO YOUNG.
An Elopement to This City Which Will
End in Marriage at Los
Angeles.

Cupid Danforth has rudely refused to
unite two young people who came all the
way from Los Angeles to be married, and
has recommended that they return home
to their parents They were Irene Decker
and Allen Critics, who had eloped from their
southern home and came here on the
steamer Mexico yesterday morning. Miss
Decker lacks month Of being 16 years old
and Critics is two months short of 81.
Parental opposition stepped between them
in Los Angeles, and they thought they could
be made one IN San Francisco, so they
slipped away upon the steamer when last
touched at Santa Barbara.
Captain Hall took charge of the young
man, and the girl was assigned to the ten
der mercies of the stewardess. When they
arrived here they made at once for the
marriage license Office, accompanied by
the stewardess. They held telegram
from the Chief of Police of Los Angeles
to Captain Hall, which stated that all four
parents were willing that the ceremony
should proceed, but Danforth refused to
recognize this as a consent. He suggested
that they go home again, as their parents
were all willing, and this they finally de-
cided to do, particularly as the would-he
bride remembered she had a wedding dress
at home, and she thought it good idea to
wear it at the wedding.

Her Trial Run.

The steamer Walla Walla, which arrived
yesterday morning from Port Townsend,
brought down six survivors of the sealing
schooner G. G. White, lost April II, on
Kodiak Island. 1t is hard to conceive of
an adventure SO replete with awful disas-
ter and death as that of this shipwrecked
crew, buffeted by the fierce gale until
strength was gone, then dropping down to
perish in the biting cold of an Alaskan
winter. The terrible story has been pub
lished in detail, but the sight of the Grip
pied ON the deck of the Walla Walla gave
an idea of the sufferings endured by the
men such as words could never portray.

A GIFTED YOUNG CANTOR.
David s. Davis and His Work
in the Choir of Sheriff.
Israel.
The CONGREGATION Will Have a Novel
Musical Programme on New
Years Day.

Cantor David s. Davis of the Congrega-
ton Sheriff. Israel, whose synagogue is on
Taylor and Post streets, is making prepar-
atoms for an especially novel and interest
ing musical programme during the coming
New Year festival or the 9th and 18th of
next month. A special feature will be an
orchestra of stringed instruments.
When the Shofar is blown at New Year
services it is customary to arrange for
special music to be rendered between the
intonations or blasts. Among other COM
positions there will be sung by the choir a
special Kedusha with organ accompani-
ment. The various Hebrew hymns and
compositions which form part of the ordi-
nary festival ritual will be set to new
music, some of it of Cantor Davis COM
position.
He will also adapt a portion of the SER
vice to the music of Sulzer, Nom bach and
Lewandoffsky. On the day of atonement,
during the Neilah service, the Ell Nora, a
composition particularly popular among
Spanish and Portuguese Hebrews, will be
given. The choir will be doubled during
the festival.
The cantor who is directing this impor-
tant departure in musical matters is a Rus.
SIAN He was student at the Royal Con-
servatory of Music at st. Petersburg, and
left Russia q few month before he would
have graduated from that institution to
avoid being drafted into the army when he
reached his majority. He spent four years
as cantor in New York congregation and
came to San Francisco a year ago. Soon
after his arrival he inaugurated revolu-
ton in the musical portion of the services
and its approval has been signified by
his reelection by the congregation for a
further term of two years before his first
term had expired.

her last. The weapon was a 44caliber
Colt 8 army revolver, and the bullet tore
almost half her forehead away.
The girls mother was in the building at
the time, and she was almost Frustrated
over the affair. 1t appears that Miss
Tieman had been sufferer from neuralgia
for several years.
"My daughter suffered great deal from
neuralgia, and once before threatened to
kill herself" said Mrs, Tieman yesterday,
when talking about the sad affair. 1--WE
spoke together about some remedy she
was going to try just before she went up
stairs, and had not the faintest idea that
she contemplated suicide. Seeing the
pistol already loaded was too great temp
tation in the circumstances, so she killed
herself"
The body was removed to the Morgue,
and an inquest will be held next week.
The girl was good-looking and was well
liked by all who knew her.
