AN UNsOUND CONDITION.

Nearly every resident of the CITY seems
to have been transformed into a theoreti-
cal detective by the recent awful and mys-
terious murders, for the officers and news
papers have been overwhelmed with theo-
ries. 1t is natural for the people to have
opinions, but when it comes to serious
Celebrations of theories they have COM
paratively little value, except in purely
literary way, are rarely of any assistance in
the actual work of running down the
crime, and when undertaken by persons
not specially trained in this difficult line of
literary work are invariably foolish, annoy
ing and superfuous.
All this voluntary detective work pro-
ceeds from two causes. One is that species
of vanity which finds expression otherwise
in shrewd guesses at the involved plots of
stories and dramas. Another is a popu-
lar misunderstanding concerning the act
ual work of ferreting out crime. That
word "ferreting" explains the whole case
of the real detective. A naturalist, if
asked to give the best method of bringing
a rat cut of its hole, will apply his scien-
tifc knowledge to the case, and by an
elaborate course of reasoning devise some
ingenious scheme WHOlly tneOFeIlCdl anu
more than likely impracticable. But a
ferret turned loose upon the same business
will pursue the rat bodily and bring it
forth. 1t is well, therefore, to leave the
hunting of rats to ferrets and the discovery
of criminals to men qualified both by in
stinct and special training to do the work
best.
The popular tendency to interfere in this
dreadful case shows that the average mind
is given over to its contemplation. This
is vice, and as such is deplorable; and its
encouragement by the newspaper publica-
ton of private theories is vicious. The
law has machinery of its own for such
cases; and when it is evident, as in this
case, that the most careful and intelligent
work is being done by the machinery of
the law, there is no excuse whatever for
interfering with its operation.
To what extent the press in decency may
go in such case in organizing its re-
porters into a detective corps is matter
to be measured by the publishers sense of

Last Duel on English Soil.

The last duel-the last fatal one, at
least-was fought in field in Maiden lane,
in solitary part of Holloway, in 1S43. The
district acquired considerable notoriety
from the event. 1t was the duel fought be-
tween Colonel Fawcett and Lieutenant
Munro. The former was killed. The duel
lists were not only brother afficers, they
were also brothers-in-law, having married
two sisters.
The Coroner's jury, on the inquest, re-
turned verdict of willful murder, not
only against Lieutenant Munro, but
against the seconds, also. The latter, how
ever, were acquitted. Munro evaded the
hands of justice by seeking refuge abroad.
Four years later he surrendered to take his
trial at the Old Bailey. He was found
guilty and sentenced to death. He was,
however, strongly recommended to mercy,
and the sentence was eventually committed
to twelve months Imprisonment.
The neighborhood in which this duel
was fought is no longer solitary q wide
thoroughfare, known as the Brecknock
road runs through it, and a rifle ground
beside the Brecknoek Arms appropriately
indicates the place where the final shot
was fired.-Chambers Journal.

WEIGHS TWO POUNDS,
A One-Month-Old Baby Boy
Who Can Make a Bed of
a Cigar-Box.
The Child Is Doing Well and Will
No Doubt, Live and
Grow Fat.

In little cottage on Bright-street hill,
Ocean View, there is diminutive speci-
men of humanity in the shape of baby
boy, the son of Mrs. NJ. z. Bopnell. The
child is just month old and tips the beam
at two pounds.
The child, although it appears to be
quite vigorous, has not gained in weight
perceptibly since its birth. 1t is less than
seven inches in length, has waist meas
urement like that of boys wrist, and its
head seems no larger than a china teacup.
It's arms are veritable pipestems and its
hands marvelously small and delicate. 1t
can be hidden from view in an ordinary
cigar-box, and on one or two occasions, for
the benefit of visitors, a bed has been made
for the boy in such a receptacle, wherein
he has slept for hours with smiling face
and untroubled conscience.
Mrs. Bonnell is a young, well-developed
woman, and has three children. She is
convinced that her month-old boy will live
to be comfort to her in her old age, and
at present there is nothing apparently to
wreck her hope in that direction. The
child is doing nicely, and the indications
are that it will continue to prosper.
Mrs. Bonnell is a poor woman, and for
several months she has been dependent
upon reldVlNeS Ior support. LUIS was uue
to the desertion of her husband, who. Mrs,
Bonnell says, is living with another
woman on Tehama street. She has looked
for him repeatedly in vain.
II would like to find him." said she to
Secretary McComb of the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children yester-
day. He has not provided for me for
over year. but so long as he was with me
did not complain. Some years ago he
met woman whose name l do not wish
to give just now, and few months ago he
went to live at her house. He is there yet
and refuses to see me. If l am forced to
take the step will have him arrested on
the charge of failure to provide
The officers of the society have been fur
nished with Bonnell's address and an
effort will be made to-day to have him re-
turn to his family. If he refuses he will
be arrested and prosecuted.

his responsibility to the public. Ii his in
dependent detective work hampers that OF
the police and infames the public mind,
then clearly his course is not taken either
with view to assist the law or to con-
tribute healthy element to the moral
tone of the community. 1t will not do to
say that newspaper should give the news
without regard to all other con siderations.
That would mean TO say merely that the
publisher is willing to cripple the law and
degrade the moral sense of his readers If
by so doing he can sell few more copies
of his paper.
In its treatment of the great double
tragedy in this City the CALL has aimed
simply to give such news as it could give
without doing harm. In this it has used
such discoveries made by the police as
they were willing to give out to the press,
and has supplemented it with such indie
pendent work of its own us was necessary
to make complete, reliable and intelli-
gent story of the affair. 1t has had no
prejudice for or against any person sus-
pected of the crimes. If the circumstances
point more strongly to one person than
another it is that persons misfortune and

attempt on the part of this paper to make
out case against any one, or to dig up"
evidence in support of any theory. Least
of all has the CALL gone at any length into
or to any extent gloated over and paraded
those pitifully unprintabIe features with
which the case is burdened.
Let every sensible person, therefore,
drop the case from his mind. The law
now has it in hand, and that is sufficient.
All the real and reliable news of the case
will appear in the CALL hereafter as for
merly, and there it will stop. This is
great City, noble State and o great coun-
try, in which important things are hap
pening every day. Let US turn now to this
wholesome record and thereby drag our
minds out of the noxious depths into
which they have fallen, and turn our faces
to the great throbbing world which is pass
ing in the full light of heaven before us.

CHRIST'S RELIGION.
It's Power In Sustaining the Burden of

Life.
The Rev. DR.. w. D. Williams. Plvmoutb
Church, preached Sunday morning on
"The Life of Christ in Our Life" and said !:
Parents are sorry for what their children
do; Christ is sorry for what we are. His
life in our life adds love to prudence. The
sustained burden of each day makes the
burden of the next day easier to bear. The
living Christian is a mediator between
Christ and the uninstructed soul. The Son
OF God came from heaven to earth in order
that the sons of men might go from earth
to heaven. Alas for us if the ladder of
science were the only steps UP to heaven. y
That is true Christian life which gives ms
sympathy with every form of human life
and enables us to work most successflIIv
Tor It's advancement. Religion that carries
us away from our fellow-men is not the
best type of Christ's religion. Socially we
are woven into the fabric of society. where
every man is like one thread in a piece of
cloth. And no man has a right. by an i'm
moral or un-Christian act, to draw out and
thereby mar the well-woven fabric.
Men near only what they are capable of
nearing. Some ears only hear the lowest
elements OF music. The better parts are
nothlng to them. 1t is not in them to like

promote the progress of our own City than
by promoting that of every other city in
this part of the Union. Our interests are
identical with their interests, and as other
tourishing cities to the north and to the
south OF us approach population OF
quarter OF million we approach popula-
ton of million.
The full understanding of this identity
OF interest between the metropolis and the
coast, will do great deal in confirming
into permanence the glow of harmony that
is now animating the people OF California
and uniting them for enterprise and action.
When once it is made clear that San Fran
cisco has no jealousy of any other COM
munlty and no interest to serve opposed
to that OF the State at large, there IS GER
tain to be a cordial cooperation in all
great undertakings. That time, according
to all evidence, has now arrived, and the
era OF progress has already opened.

FOUGHT OVER A SIGNBOARD.
A NIilkman's Advertisements Annoys a
Theater Watchman.

As BELTS the Waterman of o temple of
Thespis, ]. B. Fleming, who sees that all
goes we'll about the East End Theater, has
an artistic soul. Fond of beautiful things,
Mr.. Fleming's sense of art revolted when
he saw the signboard put up by William
E. Duncan over new milk depot now in
course of construction just across the street
from the theater. He demonstrated with
Mr.. Duncan, and so strongly that the latter
swore out warrant yesterday before
Alderman Negley, charging him with ag-
gravated assault and battery, says the
Pittsburg Dispatch. According to Mr.. Dun
can, Fleming, unlike the iconoclasts of
DID, wreaked his vengeance not on the Of
fensive picture but on the author and
owner thereof. This is Mr.. Duncan's story,
narrating Mr.. Jennings efforts on behalf
of the esthetic.
Fleming objected to a new signboard-
just put up by me. He said it was dis
grace to Collins avenue. / told him it was
none of his business what the sign looked
like and asked him to go away. He re
fused, and when l threatened, to call a
policeman he struck me in the face with
his fist, knocked me on the head with a
brick and attempted to cut me with a
knife"
Mr.. Fleming gave bail for hearing next
Tuesday. Though his violent efforts on
behalf of the beautiful do not meet with
the sanction of the residents of Collins ave-
nue. it must be said that most of them
think his action was very excusable. They
argue that the East End should not be de-
faced with inartistic signboards, and they
will put in good word for the champion
of art.

WITHOUT A RIVAL.

The people of San Francisco can find
abundant cause for satisfaction in the
thousand evidences of awakening enter
prise throughout all the broad region
known as the Pacific Coast. Rivalries
there may be between other cities and
other localities, but for San Francisco
there is no rival. Holding the command
ing position on the coast, with an easy
supremacy over the whole trade of the
Pacific Ocean, she has no temptation to
oppose or belittle the enterprises of other
places but has, on the contrary, thousand
inducements to encourage them, foster
them and promote them by every means in
her power.
It was the extraordinary advantage of
her position with reference both to the
continent of North America and to the
Pacific Ocean that led Bret Harte to refer
to San Francisco as sitting indifferent to
fate" The aptness of the phrase has been
everywhere recognized. No caprice OF
fortune, no process of fate can take from
this city the lordship of the Pacific Coast.
Only by the folly, the ignorance or the
laziness of her own people could she lose
it, and even then she could easily regain it
as soon as a wise, resolute and energetic
generation of men rose up to take control
of her commerce and her industries and
shape the course of her history.
1t is because of this easy supremacy that
she is pre-eminently fitted to be the leader
and the helper in Pacific Coast enterprises.
Whatever tends to build up any part OF
the Greater West from Washington to New
Mexico serves to advance the greatness of
San Francisco. Step by step our popula-
ton will increase with that of the whole
coast. We cannot any more effectually
