A goat with record is the only asset re-
corded in the insolvency proceedings Of
Joseph Martin, an Elmhurst farmer.
Moreover the solitary William goat is the
direct cause of his masters insolvency.
Several months ago Mr.. Martin leased
from Henry Hayes fifteen acres of fruit
orchard near San Leandro. Martin and
his family and the goat then moved on
the premises.
The tranquility at the home of the Mar
tins only lasted short time when it sud-
denly ceased. The cadse of the trouble
was the goat. This animal had only been
in the orchard one week when 1t developed
a pronounced taste for fruit trees. The
GOAT went from one tree to another until
the major portion of the fifteen acres had
been ruined.
Henry Hayes, the owner, discovered the

4 Wcrd Fi:Iy Spoken.

Judge Miller yesterday rebuked counsel
for advising the lawle.ss element of the Dis
trict that the killing OF policeman would
not. under certain circumstances, be
crime. AS the judge said: I'VE want no
more education OF these people as to the
numbering of officers. they are bad enough
anyhow" The assertion and the rebuke mad
their origin in the case of a woman who,
when arrested On the charge of running a
speak-eIsy. threw hot lye in the faces of
the two officers Who had raided the esta5-
lishment- By the best of good fortune. the
representatives OF the law were not blinded:
by the best of surgical attention they nave
come through with comparatively little
mutilation. 1t is urged in the woman's de-
Tense that because the officers had no writ
ten warrant for the arrest she had rigat
to assault the laws representatives.: her
counsel says she would have been justified
in killing the police. The court is entitled
to and Will doubtless receive the thanks of
law-abiding Washington for discouraging
the Idea that policemen may be assaulted
with inpunity by any person who imagines
that some particular act of the officer Is
without legal authority. Occasionally a
policeman is officious and does something
he had better have left undone: that fact
always develops within few hours, and
the development will not be assisted by
violence on the part of the person I'M
properly arrested. In the case in question,
the officers claimed to have been witnesses
TO the laws violation. and if that was
true, the officers did not need a warrant
1t Is a safe thing for the general public to
believe that the police force is active
mainly. In the public interest. The court
did well TO declare itself in opposition to
doctrine which. carried into practice would
encourage the mutilation and murder of
policemen.

Snow balls and Ice Cream.

While bacteriolCgy has greatly added to
the hygiene of the world it cannot be de-
MED that it has also robbed humanity Of
some pleasures and many more or less
agreeable dangers. That it should now at
tack so gratifying commodity as ice
cream and impugn so apparently innocent
an article as the SNOWFALL was not to be
dreamed of. notwithstanding the propen-
sity of that science to stop at nothing. But
the finger Of suspicion has been pointed at
both ioe cream and the SNOWFALL and the
voice OF medical science cries out against
them. The British Institute of Preventive
Medicine recently caused an analysis and
microscopfcal examination to be made Of
samples Of the ice cream sold in the streets
OF London at penny prices and most
shocking result was obtained. The micro
scope revealed all sorts of filth and dirt
and the chemical reagents developed the
