Some PeODle In Eastern Tennessee.

1t is not generally known that In the
mountains of eastern Tennessee there lives
class of peculiar looking people whose
origin is wrapped in mystery and who are
called by the whites Melungeons. They re-
sent this appellation and proudly declare
that they are Portuguese.
The legend of their history. which they
carefully preserve, is this; A great many
years ago these mountains were settled oy
a society of. Portuguese adventures, men
and women, who came from the shore OF
Virginia that they might be freed from the
restraints and draw backs imposed upon
them by any form of government.
They made themselves friendly with the
Indians, and, freed as they were from every
kind of social government, they uprooted
all conventional forms of society and lived
in a kind of delightful Utopia of their own
creation, despising all forms of religion and
subsisting upon corn-the only possible
product of the soil-and the game OF the
great forests They intermixed with the
Indians and subsequently with the negroes.
and thus formed the present race OF Melun
geons.
They are tall, straight, well formed PEG
pie, of dark copper color, but with Cir
cassian features. They were privileged
voters in the old slave days and accredited
citizens They are brave, but quarrelsome,
and are hospitable to strangers They have
no preachers among them and are almost
without any knowledge of a supreme being.

A Clint of MummieS.

The latest news from the Egyptian mu-
scum at Gheezeh is that there is such a
glut of mummified humanity there, ow-
ing to the quantities of priests Of Am
mon discovered awhile ago in upper
Egypt, that the Egyptian government
has proposed to the museums of London,
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Petersburg and
Rome to take them off its hands. They
are to be divided into lots, which are to
be drawn for by the accepting parties.
But at present one and all are somewhat
reluctant to take them So there is still
a chance that the poor priests may fol-

mummifed remains were shipped to Liv-

Tie discovery of poker club in fash
iOnable quarter Of Ottawa would have as
tracted little attention had it not become
known that this club is composed Of wOm-
Ell as well as men who are classed among

The fact first leaked out through a

his wifes losses at the gaming table. He
did not play himself, but his wife did,
while he remained at home to look after
domestic affairs.
Whisky and water appear to have been
the favorite beverage, and if all accounts
are true it has not been taken in small
quantities, either, by this select party. So
exclusive and quiet has this little coterie
of the smart set been that some hus-

at this fashionable Monte Carlo have been
ignorant of what was going on, sewing

The Pulling Case of All Wing.

g. W. Stapleton the other day as he con-
cluded the reading of letter from All
Wing, a Chinaman who is serving life
sentence in the Deer Lodge penitentiary.
All Wing wrote Mr.. Stapleton that he
was in for life, and wanted to know
what effect the Geary law would have
upon him. The law provides that all
Cinnamon should register at certain
time-May 6. If they are not registered
at that time they shall be deported All
Wing says the prison authorities would
not let him ont to register. and he will
be perfectly satisfied to go back to China.
This is condition which the trainers
of the law hardly looked for, and it is
likely the supreme court will be called
upon to settle the point. All Wing

WILL RESIST THE ORDER,
Gas and Electric Light Com.
panieS Protest Against
Darkness.
Legality of the Supervisors Action
Ordering Out Lights, Is
Questioned.

The corporations that are furnishing the
City with light do not propose to sit idly
by and submit to shutting off their gas
and electricity without a murmur. They
seriously question the right of the Board of
Supervisors to compe them to break the
existing contracts.
The order of the board to shut off all
street lights from the present time to the
end of the fiscal year provoked considerable
discussion among the officers of the San
Francisco Gas Company and the Edison
Electric Light and Power Company. The
sentiment was to resist the order and
definite action will be taken when the
officers hold their meeting this week.
J. B. Crockett, president of the gas COM
pany, said:
There will be meeting of the board Of di-
rectors of this company tomorrow and then
we will determine what we will do. This mat
ter has a broader scope than simply obeying
this order of the Supervisors TO shut off the
street lights for the next six weeks. We are
furnishing gas to the City fl illuminating pur-
poses under contract which viii not expire
that we must furnish light between certain
specified hours of the day. More than that, We
are under $35, 900 bonds to do so, and Adam
Grant and Levi Strauss are the sureties.
NOW, LQo QueSGlOn Odu the SuptTV1bOTS
compel us to break our contract while there is
money in the street light fund in the treasury?
And, further, Can they legally divert the
money in the street light fund to any other
purpose. At the end of the fiscal year, if there
is any money left in this fund it can be turned
into the general fund. There is some doubt in
our minds if this can be done before the end
of the fiscal year at the cost of leaving the City
in darkness for month or two.
Suppose, for instance, that the gas company
should find use for its gas more profitable to
c1nf1l RI
break our contract by declining to furnish gas
under the contract. Damage suits would be
instituted within TWEEN ty-four hours and our
securities would have to stand the damages.
Now, the Citys obligation to us under our con-
tract is as great as ours to the City, and while
there is money in the street light fund we can
not see how the Supervisors can legally break
the written and secured agreement. If there
was no money in this special fund and we con-
tinued to light the streets we would be taking
our chances on being paid, for the supreme

DID NOT CLOSE At NOON,
A Fifth Avenue Barber ir
Trouble for Keeping His
Shop Open.
So q Warrant Was Sworn Out for
His Arrest for Violating
the Law.

The first case for a violation of the act
passed by the last Legislature for regu-
lating the hours during which BARRIERS
shops shall be open will be heard in day
or two before Judge Low.
H. a. Wolfe, barber, 1925 Dupont street,
appeared in Judge Lows court yesterday
and swore out warrant for the arrest of
"John Doe" barber at 701 Fifth avenue,
for keeping his shop open for business
after u o'clock noon last Sunday.
The BARRIERS Protective Union is deter
mined that the law shall be obeyed. The
union was particularly active in having
the act passed, as the members believed
the time had come when they should have
a days rest as well as other people, the
more so as they are as rule kept hard at
work till late Saturday night.
When the act was introduced into the
Assembly it was referred to the Committee
on Public Morals, of which Assent lyman
Bettman of this city was chairman. 1t
was passed by the Assembly and the San
Francisco delegation worked hard to get
it passed through the Senate In fact it
was due to their efforts, assisted by the
CALL, that the bill was passed through
both chambers.
The passage of the bill was received with
great enthusiasm by the BARRIERS of this
City. and as mark of their appreciation
the San Francisco delegation was rendered
a banquet on returning to the City at
which the proprietor of the CALL was an
honored guest.
All the leading BARRIERS in the City have
implicitly obeyed the law by closing at II
O'Clock noon on Sundays, and they Will
insist that it is universally respected.

Before the great days of 40, Governor
Burnett was attracted to California by the
gold excitement, and took active interest
in the formation of the State government.
He opposed the military jurisdiction of the
National Government over the Bear State,
and by his action became prominent
figure in politics.
He was elected Governor of the State be-
fore it was admitted to the Union, and was
recognized by Congress when admission
was granted in 1850. In 1851 he resigned
as Governor to take up the practice of law,
and in 1857 became one of the Judges of
the Supreme Court.
IL 1868 he became president of the Pa
cifc Bank and held the position until 1880.
In 1860 he published work entitled ''The
Path Which Led a Protestant Lawyer to
the Catholic Church" Several other works
emanated from his pen, among which was
