Affections Entailed Upon the British Royal
Family by Blood Marriages.
A writer in America, discoursing on
the results of intermarrying, gives an
appalling list of the diseases and de-
formities with which various members
of European royal houses are afflicted,
owing to this cause. From mere facial
deformity up to insanity, says London
Truth, there is scarcely any distressing
affection with which humanity is af-
flicted which does not find place in
the list. Very possibly this catalogue
may be incorrect, but experience I'M
questionably proves the fact that there
is a degeneration in royal families. To
a certain extent this may be due to in
termarriage, but l suspect that it is
still more due to the species of cult that
is paid to royalties from generation to
generation, and which must in the ma
ture of things weaken their intellectual
fiber. Nothing can be more mentally
injurious for man than to have all his
wishes anticipated by a crowd of syco-
plants. and through life to find all
agreeing with him with whom he is
brought in daily contact, instead of be-
ing subjected to the discipline involved
in social equality. Just as we have lost
the tails that were the appendages of
our primeval ancestors because grad
ually the habit of wagging them fell
into disuse, so all mental virility gradu-
Nv disappears from families that are
Ag regal, because they have no OPP
portunity to exercise it.

Jury" said an old lawyer in reminiscent
mood, relates the Detroit Free Press,
"but once, when / visited backwoods
court in the mountains of North Caro-
lima, did happen on an incident that
shook my faith for time. The case
was before a squire and the prisoner
was up for hog stealing. 1t was the
rudest court and surroundings l ever
got into and 1 should not have been
surprised at anything, but was. After
a couple of jack-leg lawyers had got
in what they had to say the court
turned the case over to jury and II
adjourned to barn to decide the in
nocence or guilt of the prisoner. And
such a jury! | can never forget what
a motley gang that jury was. In half
an hour it came back and resumed its
place in court.
"'Have you found verdict" asked
the squire.
"sWhat's that?' responded the fore
man.
"'Have you found verdict? That's
what replied the squire.
"Why, squire hesitated the fore
man, with foolish grin, we didn't
know thar wuz one lost; did we, boysT
And even that court couldn't stand 1t
but got up and swore."

TO the self-destruction of a three-faneed

me from hat to shoe. Instantly a
change of expression came over his fea-
lures and ferocity gave way to a look
that might have been born of disgust
and resignation. | watched him close
ly, not knowing what might be his next
move. He suddenly astonished me by
plunging headlong into the Belle
Fourche. Motionless he sank and lay
at full length at the bottom. | con-
tlnued to watch him until the last
vestige of his reptilious breath had
risen to the placid surface in a pearly
bubble and then with the aid of a stick
raised him from the water, placed him
in the sunshine and satisfied myself
that life was extinct. | had never
known or heard of RATHER taking to
water, and here | was confronted by
the plainest case of suicide by drown
ing in broad daylight. l have since
then lost all faith in snakes. / have
adopted and discarded every theory that
might offer a solution in this case and
am now driven to the belief that this
snake deliberately suicided because it
had committed the blunder of wasting
a well-meant, three-fanged strike on a
United States cavalryman. Hereafter

Street Car Company Chang &c

Quite an important deal took place
during the past week in the shape of
the transfer of large block of stock in
the Mateo street and Santa Fe avenue
street car company to Abbot Kinney and
associates. This is a single-track line
that was built during the boom, and for
a time was run successfully, but of late
years a dreary car once an hour has
been the service. The new owners have
now taken hold in earnest and have
bought fresh horses and new cars, so ds
to give q fifteen-minute service at once
and are making arrangements to change
the power into electricity and make a
more comprehensive system of it as soon
as possible For cheap homes conven-
lent to factories, carshops and railway
works, all that country will now come
into use and with increased car service
rapidly get settled. The new directors
are Abbot Kinney. John D. Pope, G. L..

SuppIants for Divorce-Suits Against
Obstinate Tenants-Court News

William Mulcahy was tried yesterday
before Judge Smith on a charge of lar
ceny similar to that on which Sam Will
son had been acquitted in Judge Clark S
court the previous day. August Zibler
the prosecuting witness, had come into
the city from his ranch to enjoy few
days recreation; on the third day. when
only one-third of his funds remained.
during his wanderings he picked UP an
acquaintance with Mulcahy. After in
dulging in a considerable amount of
beer, Zibler accompanied Mulcahy to
Wilson's room in a lodging house. where
Mulcahy told him he could spend the
night. Wilson, however. arrived and
fired them out, and they betook them
selves to the plaza, where Zibler in
dulged in a deep snooze under the pro-
lection of Mulcahy. Awakening, he
found Mulcahy gone, likewise his watch
and chain and s12 in money. A de-
tective returned with Zibler to Wilson's
room and there found the missing prop
erty the money on the bureau and the
watch in a drawer. The contention of
the defense was that Zibler had left
them there himself. The jury took only
four minutes to decide a verdict of
guilty. Defendants counsel at once
gave notice of motion for a new trial.
