Three LlttlO Love Songs.
BY Emily Louise Mcintosh.

l,-SUhhENDER,
Your weapons were wrought at the
forge Of Love,
Glowing his fires!
And fatal their stroke, as the lightning
above
Resistance expires!
firmly resolve you shall never know
How throbs my heart
AT the sound Of your voice, at the touch
of your hand,
My resolves depart.
And the citadel Of my love now lies
Captured-surrendered to your dear
eyes!
LI.-A CADENCE.
/.
A bird flew In at a window
And Weakened stormy soul,
That lay in troubled dreaming
In anguish beyond control.
II.
The window? The way to my heart,
dear;
The bird? Your love for me.
And now that its song has reused me,
I'll sing till eternityl
III.-ARBUTUs,
/.
We lay aside the dainty flower
In memory Of hallowed hour,
When heart to heart a message brings,
That wakes the soul until It sings
Responsive to new JOY.
II.
What matter IL the days sped by
Till spring breathes on the earth and
sky,
And very Natures voices tell
The love that comes with lis to dwell,
When earth is glad and new.
My heart sings on, Of years to be-
OF all this means to you and me;
And as He keeps us there and here,
And guards our hearts great treasures,
dear,
III pray He'll keep thee, too.

WILLIAMS ACCUSES ASHE.
MRS. TERRY'S NEW GUARDIAN
SAYS THAT SOME OF HER
PROPERTY Is MISSING.
He HAS DEMANDED ANOTHER
ACCOUNTING FROM HIS Pre-
DECESSOR.

The bitter feeling between Thomas II.
Williams and r. Porter Ashe, which has
been shown more than once in the fight
over the guardianship of Mrs. Sarah Althea
Terry, has not abated, even though the
account of Ashe as guardian has been sat
isfactorily settled.
There was filed in Judge Slack's court
yesterday petition from Williams, who
succeeded Ashe as guardian of Mrs. Terry,
asking that certain articles which Ashe is
charged with concealing for his own benefit
be accounted for. The articles include
household furniture, kitchen utensils. sill
yerware, dress goods and jewelry, all of
which is represented as having belonged to
Mrs. Terry and as having disappeared I'M
der the management of her estate by Ashe.
Porter Ashes final account as guardian
of the estate of Mrs. Terry was filed in
Judge Slack'S court few days ago. and it
was then expected that Williams would
make vigorous opposition. Such was not
the case, however, and the account was
settled by the court after Ashe had testified
as to all the details connected with it. 1t
is now asserted that the items named in
Williams petition were not mentioned in
Ashes account, and as a matter of fact
some of them were not, but the retiring
guardian made MS accounting as satisfac-
tory to the court, and there was no obiec-
ton to his statement.
Judge Slack has not acted upon the
petition OF Williams as yet. The fact that
AShes statement was satisfactory would
argue that his connection with the estate
was ended, and with credit to himself.

language:

Oaklands water front, and found the title OF
the railroad company hazy. Iwrote the whole
history of the matter

Enquirer, and after he had read il over he said

that it would make sensation, and he agreed
to publish it entire the following day. | re-

office, and was assured that it would be. The
next day went to the office and the city editor
explained that they could not publish the mat

to my house. In the meantime Harvey Brown,
the railroad attorney, told me that could not
get the article published in Oakland. He said
he had read it over at the eompany'S Office at
Fourth and Townsend streets. A few hours

RUNNING THEIR BUSINESS.
Florists Protest Against the Street
Flower Peddlers.

fIOWer Pe0uIefSs
The California Florists and Growers As
ISOLATION, represented by!counsel, appeared
before the License and Order Committee of
the Board of Supervisors yesterday to pro-
test against the granting of free or nominal
licenses to street peddlers.
A petition was presented stating that the
street peddlers buy their flowers from
Chinese and by reason of having neither
rent nor help to pay are able to undersell
regular florists and are seriously hamper
ing their business. The petition further
stated that the members of the association
pay large rents, have many thousands of
dollars invested and should be protected
as taxpayers and citizens.
Francis A Russell appeared for the as
ISOLATION and asked that the license for
street peddling be fixed al 500 per quarter.
he claimed that it was an outrage to per-
NIT street-corner peddlers, who in many
instances through representation had
been able to get free licenses, to ruin the
business of the regular florists who have
thousands of dollars invested in their hot
houses and nurseries. He said that Chi
nese grown flowers were sold by the ped
dlers, and that owing to the low price
were gradually running the business of
the legitimate growers.
Several florists testified that their bust
ness had fallen off greatly owing to the
competition of the peddlers, and that un-
less they were given some relief they would
have to go out of business.
The hearing of the case was continued
until next Wednesday, When the peddlers
will be heard.

Ion, Ferral land Carey. OF these seven
are stin living, while fve-Judges Dain-
gerfield. Halsey, Wilson, Edmunds and
Freelon-have passed on to the final judg-
ment.
1.-The organization of the first court in
San Francisco was an important matter to
the city and county and the Judges were
fully alive to the fullness of its import
ance," said Judge Ferral, with PARKWAY
look in his eye as it fell on the Press Club S
new and elaborate fireplace, thereby leav-
ing q divided impression as to what he
might be laughing at.
al remember that, having all duly taken
the oath of Office, we came together with
an underlined notion as to what we should
do next. We were Judges, the court had
been organized and our salary had begun
its course in our favor and behalf, but there
were no cases to be tried. Probably it was
the thought of this-that our salary was
going on, and it devolved upon US to do
something-that caused Judge Hunt to
break into a situation that was becoming
painful with the suggestion, Let US go
and get our pictures taken.
1T struck responsive chord with each
of US, and the court promptly adjourned
to enable the court to go to a photograph
gallery and have its picture taken"
This semi-official statement of the first
act of the Superior Court of the city and
county of San Francisco called out a story
of the first and only time the court sat in
bank
THE court had been running for some
time, business had piled up before it and
a very judicial air had settled upon and
about 1t, and the thought occurred to some
of the Judges that it was about time this
court should sit in bank. So a case was
singled out that seemed to be of sufficient
weight to warrant it and the day was fixed
for the court to come together in its full
judicial strength and learning.
1.-The Judges filed in and took their
chairs on a raised dais in all their somber
dignity. The thing was SO impressive as
to overawe some of the younger attorneys
who had never seen the like before, but
there were some old fellows present who
had been through it all, and Judge Sam
Wilson, who always winked with his
shoulder when he was about to say some
thing more clever than usual, leaning over
toward Hall McAllister, remarked in an
undertone just loud enough to be heard by
the court and all in the ROOM:
"'Have we Billy Birch's Minstrels with
us2'"
Judge Evans was so impressed with this
remark that he induced a speedy adjourn
ment, and the court has never since sat in
0ank-that is, with the entire court pres
.nt. They sometimes get all together for
.heir consultations, of course, but their
meetings are held behind closed doors.
Judges Finn, Hunt, Evans, Allen and
Ferral manage TO keep up appearances
very well, looking but little Older than
when they went in body to get their photo
graphs taken all those years ago. Judge
Sullivan has actually grown younger look
.ng having sacrificed the luxuriant side
whiskers that he wore when he first
assembled the bench.

as to whether or not the Grand Jury can
hle presentments; in other words, if they
can take cognizance of misdemeanors.
McPike maintained that the Grand Jury
had no power to file presentments, as it is
a part of the Superior Court, where misde-
meanors are not considered in that court
except on appeal. Judge Sanderson denied
the writ, however, as he considered he had
already practically decided the matter by
allowing the presentments to be filed and
by consigning them to the Police Court.
AS the Supreme Court has already been
applied to Tor the writ, and as it was there
suggested that Refs attorneys apply to the
Superior Court first, there seems little else
for Refs to do but stand trial and appeal in
case of an adverse judgment.
