REVEALED AFTER DEATH.
Another California Scandal Revealed by .
Lawsuit.

Another scandal III the plutocratic life
of the Pacific coast has been revealed by
h suit of u negro wOnlan who former
ly resided in Louisville to establish the
right of her son to a share in the estate
Of the late millionaire Edward Barron
of San Francisco. That anything is pos
sible i'll the picturesque society Of the
California metropolis is indicated by the
fact that the San Francisco press han
dies this case as an ordinary matter of
litigation, in which the principal ques-
ton is one of legal right.
Back of the suit there is a sensational
story Of intrigue and intimidation in
which Chris Buckley, the former boss
of San Francisco politics, figures. 1t ap-
pears that after the millionaire wearied
of the society Of the colored woman he
shipped her off to Louisville, accom-
panied by an agent, who purchased a
house for her there and supplied her
with funds.
Afterward the agent sought to keep
her i'll Louisville and prevent her an
noying the millionaire by threats that
she would be sent to prison if she did
not cease writing to Barron. The WON.
an was not to be intimidated so easily.
and after the allowances of money We're
stopped she returned to California. The
result is the sensational suit now being
fought. louisville Courier.Journal.

Fresh Water Lobsters.

Now, some say there is no such thing
as a fresh water lobster. The Connecti-
cut newspaper man rises to the emer-
gency and gives this in answer: Ben
nett French, while fishing in a brook
near the home Of Charles Bradley, pear
Zoar, found "a fully developed lobster,
over 6 inches in length, which he cap
tured and is to save in alcohol as a Gu
riosity. Few people have seen fresh wa
ter Holsters, although Sid Victory, the
veteran fisherman, states that he has
found a few specimens in the same
brook. The lobster is perfectly formed
and is a perfect likeness of his salt wa
ter brethren. "-Hartford C~ourant.

Personal Liberty.

All the barroom slang about the peo-
pies inalienable right to eat and drink
what they please, and the consequent
right to buy and sell whatsoever any Of
them please to imbibe, has been over
ruled and secuted in decisions as old as
jurisprudence and as authoritative as
any decision can be. A free and indie
pendent citizen has just as good a right
to set fire 20 his own house in the midst
OF a dense city, or to shoot rifle balls
from his own field across a thronged
highway, as he has to sell rum when the
state forbids it.

The most despicable piece OF journal
ism yet perpetrated by the Argus
Leader in its Misrepresentation of the
Taylor matter is its hypOcrltlcal en-
dorsement in its issue of the 10th inst.
of Judge Kellam of the supreme bench.
1t is a we'll known fact to, lawyers and
everybody OF average intelligence that
no case is so we'll tried in court in all its
rdetels Of complaint, drawing and hear
ing of jury, extent OF judgment and
even the validity Of the law under
whiohra criminal may be sentenced. but
that on demurrer or appeal to the su-
preme court some technical flaw may be
found that will be the means of releasing
the criminal. And probably some just
such instance might arise in the Taylor
case though it is earnestly hoped not.
But where such great liberty is at stake
and friendships strong surround the
criminal no stone will DO left unturned
to tind a defect which in the ordinary
case would he overlooked and not tested.

Judge Gaffey may have strained his vi
conception of the act to give Taylor the
longest sentence he could. But casting
all these considerations aside, the
Argus Leader pretends to give Judge
Kellam a very hearty endorsement as an
honest and upright man who would not
reverse the acts Of Judge tiaffey's
court because he had at one time Dor

OF pretended confidence in Judge Kell-
ANS integrity the Argus-Leader gives
its long hypocritical creed in It's issue

the foundation for d most vlllainous
attack upon Judge kellam should the
supreme court in the exercise of a con-
stltutional duty find it necessary to de-
clare against the validity of the acts Of
the lower courts. Such journalism is

On Catching Cold In Bed.

Mark Twain once wrote a paper point
ing out the appalling danger of going to
bed as exemplified in bills Of mortality.
For one person who died out of his bed
several hundred succumbed in bed, and
now we have Mr.. Ashby- Sterry drawing
attention to the same thing. Hitherto
he has hymned in graceful verse panta-
let's, frills and the tempestuous petit
coat, and now, quantum mutatus alb
lilo Hectore, he lauds the pyjama. In a
recent number of The Graphic he a Y /:
Il have a theory that most people
catch cold at night after they are in bed,
and it is to this fact that l attribute a
great deal of the violent colds, the bron-
chial catarrhs and influenza which have
recently been so prevalent. The temper
allure goes down suddenly in the night,
and people catch cold when they are
asleep without knowing it. This evil is
to be counteracted, not by piling Oh a
lot Of heavy blankets, but by wearing
thick, close fitting garments of a py-
jamalike nature and warm socks OF the
feet. If this system were adopted, l am
quite certain that it would be found
beneficial"
There is common sense in this. PeO-
pie unquestionably may catch cold in
bed, especially if there are at all rest
less and SC kick the bedclothes off. In
that event if only clad in a thin cotton
nightshirt they are sure to catch cold,
whereas if clad in pyjamas, not necessa-
rily thick, but made of some wooden
material, the chance of a chill is much
lessened. London Lancet

the MANITOBA CASE.
The People Object to Federal Interior
encc.


ottawa, Ont, March 29-Although
full particulars VI the action taken 10y
the dominion government regarding
the Manitoba school have been before
the public for some days, 1t is only now
that this action liz being fully under
stood. The Manitoba government has
done two things. IL has ordered the
provincial authorities to re-establish
the separate schools abolished in 1880.
the failing OF compliance by the PROV
ince, the dominion has said In SO many
words that a federal act viii be passed
for the purpose Of attaining this OBJ
tect, and 1t Is at this point that the
danger of the situation appears. The
provinces have always been jealous OF
their right Of self-gOyernment, and AN
attempt to encroach ON these rights by
the passage OF federal law to accom-
pllsh provincial object will evoke 4
vigorous protest in every member OF
the confederation outside of Quebec.
rms cutlery Will be especially vigorous
in Manitoba and Ontario, because
federal law once passed for the pur-
pose Of re-establlshing separate schools
in province can not be repealed by
any power short Of the imperial parlln-
ment in England. Not only this, If the
separate schools are re-establlshed by
federal legislation In Manitoba precc-
dent Will be established which win per-
init OF the dominion interfering to pre-
vent the Ontario legislature from di-
yesting the separate schools of the
province OF privileges conferred by the
latter body. II Is because of the far
reaching consequences involved that
there Is such hostility to the idea Of
once entering the wedge OF federal in
reference. But how viii the dominion
government go about re-establishing
separate schools In Manitoba, a course
to which II Is forced by the terms Of Its
own order to the province and the re-
fusai OF the latter to comply. II is
probable that this will be done by fed
eral enactment, relieving Roman Cath
Ole rate payers In ManifVba from local
taxation for public schools and giving
Roman Catholics power to levy taxes
on their own people for the mainten-
ance of their own schools. Further
than this, IT IL likely that the dominion
government Will retain a portion OF the
subsidy payable by the dominion to tha
province under the terms of union,
and apply this as n supplement to the
funds raised by the local taxation for
separate school purposes. Unless the
present dominion government is de-
feated before remedial legislation and
another party Is placed In power that
Will respect provincial rights there will
be an upheaval that will strain the
bonds OF confederation.
