Mark Esberg, appellant; County of
San Luis Obispo, respondent. Recovery
Of alleged illegal taxes. Affirmed.
The county has no interest in the
funds Of the high school district, nor
any control over the same in the county
treasury, consequently no action can
be brought against a county to recover
taxes paid to and held by it's officials,
not for the benefit of the county nor
subject to its disposition, but for the
use of and to be disbursed by a district
organization, local district within the
county.

MINED OCCUPATIONS.
How 1t Happened That Murat Haistead
Was Rated as blacksmith.

"a
Everyone knows of Col Abe Slupsky
and Mr.. John Thomas Brady, the two
distinguished and able writers who con-
tribute to The Republic letters upon the
political situation as it is seen by them,
but IL sesms that even in local news
paper circles the high-salaried and far
famed correspondents sent out by the
New York dailies are comparatively I'M
known. For instance, see yesterdays
edition of an afternoon paper, in which
Murat HalStead, one of the best-knOwn
newspaper writer's of the country, is re-
ferred to as "a blacksmith from New
York"
To a majority of the readers of the
paper this meant nothing, and 10 news
paper men it seemed as though the pa
per referred to was making an effort 10
ridicule Mr.. Halstead's ability. For this
reason, a story which shows that the Oc-
merely a bad blunder, will appear all
the funnier in consequence.
The story goes that the paper sent to
the ST. Nicholas Hotel a bright young
man who once earned a reputation as
being easy" by printing from the truth
a story describing infinitely and with
close attention to detail the sensations
of a man who swallowed a coil of barb
ed wire and suffered untold agony from
indigestion in consequence. This young
man sauntered into the hotel early in
the morning and found himself in the
center of a group of new arrivals.
Anything new?" he asked the clerk.
This individual, who at that time had
more business on hand that a German
undertaken on a rainy Friday, paused
long enough 10 point out travel-stain-
ed man and say: There is Foraker"
And so it was. The man who is to
place Mckinley in nomination had just
arrived. and was waiting until his bag
gage could be brought in before he
went to his room. The journalist
stepped forward:
Are you Mr.. FOraker?' he asked.
"That is my name. What can | do
for yOu?" was the response.
The young man stated that he was
temporarily engaged in newspaper work
and this dialogue started:
~You are from Chicago. I believe?'
mo. my home is in Cincinnati"
Are you delegate?'
mo"
Then what are you doing here?"
Il am the committeeman from my
State"

For minute there was a pause, and

"One was Charles Emory Smith, 3"
said the Senator.
Where does he come from and what

ton.
He is the editor and proprietor of

tor, who was beginning 10 grow ner-
vOuS.

NIurat Halstead, of New York"

"This was too much for the Ohio

managed to grasp: He is brick

room.

booker Club, Tuesday night. Miss
Grace Wilson's bridesmaids will be
dined before Thursdays wedding, and
both Mr. and Mrs. Ogden Goelet and
Mr. and Mrs. Richard T. Wilson will
give dinners.
For the wedding the Wilson house
will be darkened and the ceremony will
be performed under gas light. Miss
Wilson has received many gifts There
have been many rumors about the size
of the dowry which Mr.. Wilson will
give his daughter. The most credited
is that he will settle an income of $25,-
600 annually upon her. Added to this
may be a similar sum from Mr.. and
Mrs. Ogden GOelet, as token of af-
lection to their sister, who has been
much abroad with them.

AERIAL NAVIGATION.

Itis almost here. Not twenty-five years
will elapse before it will be accomplished
and we shall watt ourselves through space
by means Of some more or less complicated
pnions. When balloon voyages to the
North pole are seriously contemplated by
foolhardy explorers, and Prof. Langley's
air ship makes flight Of half mile, we
are approaching very rapidly the solu-
ton of problem that has charmed the
world ever since Daedalus and Icarus tried
to make their way across the sea with
waxen wings, and, getting too near the
sun, tumbed in. Aerial navigation is no
longer a dream, a chirnera, an idle fancy;
it is a scientific fact: imperfect. it is true,
but budding into perfection very rapidly.
Its great promoter and helpmate. of course,
in the end will lie electricity, and as in
ventions in that line progress so the ai--
ship will conc nearer and nearer practical
perfection.
One can hardly estimate the magnitude
of the revolution which will be wrought
in matters of transportation, both of men
and material, when this new agent comes
upon the scene. Distance viii be still
further annhilateda and Journeys across land
or sea, no matter how far, regarded no
more than ride On the street cars nova
days. The airship, brought to a state of
perfection, will make it possible to travel
from New York to London in couple Of
days, and we shall he able TO leave Wash
ington on Monday morning and be in San
Francisco by Tuesday night, or perhaps
even sooner.
OF course, there are doubling Thomases
who will smile pityingly and ipcredulously
at these predictions; but they or their Kind
did tie same thing when the telegraph was
first suggested, or the telephone, or the
pbonograph. The marvel of today is the
commonplace thing Of tomorrow, aud so
1t will be with mans flying through the air
