The summerland. Bickneli Cas-.

The opinion of the supreme court in the
Ase of Theodore Summerland as assessor,
plaintiff, VS.. Charles +. Bicknell as county
auditor, defendant, was received at the
clerks office yesterday for filing. The
main points of the decision have already
been published in the telegraphic columns
of THE HERALD. The court holds that the
contention that only in counties of the
second class shall the assessor turn all
fees. etc., into the county treasury, and
shall receive as compensation only his sal.
ary, the county paying all the expenses of
the office, is special legislation, Los Ange-
les being the only county OF that class in
the state. is not well taken. When such a
classification of counties as the consttu-
ton warrants, has been made by tile legis-
lature, statutory provision which applies
equally to all counties of that class is
neither local, special, nor wanting in uni
formity. 1t is not the province of a court
to determine how many classes are neces-
sary; 1.-THE proper determination of that
question of necessity depends upon a
variety of considerations which are for the
legislature, and not for the courts. But
under any view, the only question in the
premises would be whether or not the pro-
vision as to compensation is a wise and
proper law, and that question must be
answered by the legislature. not by the
courts. The prayer of the plaintiff is de-
MED and the petition dismissed The
opinion is written by Justice Mcfarland,
concurred in by Justices Garoutte, Harri-
son, Van Fleet, Henshaw and Temple.
The case came before the court on a
petition by the plaintiff, assessor of Los
Angeles county, for writ of mandamus
to the defendant, as auditor of said county,
directing the latter to audit the accounts of
the former, and to allow him 10 per cent
on all state and road poll taxes. and per
cent on all personal property taxes col
lected by said assessor.

American continent. said DISTINGUISHES
Frenchman who once visited the notorious
New York slum known as the "Five
Points," The same opinion was expressed
by Charles Dickens after going through
this dangerous quarter with an armed
police escort. The Five Points in those
days was famous as the abode Of thieves,
thugs and murderers.
In recent years this unsavory district
has undergone n marked improvement.
Today it compares favorably' with similar
quarters Of other great cities, and most of
this improvement is due to the celebrated
Five Point Mission and its army OF Chris
tian workers. This excellent organization
has performed and is performing great
and noble work.
One of the creates. works of the mission
is to minister to the sick, and it is n work
that has been highly successful. And yet
the officers of the mission have been en-
abled to combat vast amount of sickness
and afford relief in many critical cases
with the aid of but ono standard remedy.

Five Points Mission, said "a remedy large

our mission is Warmers Safe Cure, and

great benefit fro n it and are ready to

Mrs. \. Elliott, visitor of the mission,
expresses q similar opinion. She says: !:
"After using Warmers Safe Cure among
our mission people for several months,
regard it as public duty to endorse it as
a safe and sure cure for liver and kidney
and female complaints. One very severe
case which had been given over by the
doctors was supplied with a bottle, aud the
improvement was so marked as to inspire
new courage and hope, causing her to feel
like u new woman. This is only one case

AT THE FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
A Description Of the Egyptian Fayoum Civ
Yesterday

A Description Of the Egyptian Fayoum Given
Yesterday
Mr.. Walter Il. Goodall of Devonshire,
England. and some twelve years ago aid
de-camp to the khedive, read lecture on
The Egyptian Fayoum before the Friday
Morning club yesterday.
As a distinguished official commanding
every facility OF travel, and as a talented
young Englishman with all the instincts of
a good sportsman. huntsrnan and observ-
ing traveller, with the pen of a ready writer,
Mr.. Goodall was enabled to depict with
great reality some of his experiences in
Egypt.
He gave most interesting account of a
horseback journey with young French
man, both members of an Egyptian and
English administration at Cairo, from
Medinet ell Fayoum, the upper terminus of
the Egyptian railway. across the northern
section of the country to kayoum. to which
they were dispatched on an official visit of
three months.
After hot and dusty journey of several
days across the sands Of the desert with an
occasional rest in the scanty shade of the
prickiy-pear, and the pitching of tents for
shelter at night, the desert of Kayoum was
reached. Here he explained, the Arabs
pitch their tents like their forefathers of
old and live on the products of their goats
and camels. Further details of the Be-
douin's dress, his customs, his vanities, but
over all his untring faithfulness and de-
votion were fully illustrated.
Mr.. Goodall also gave some most anus
ing experiences of his initiation into the
medical service among the natives. He
doctored sore eyes, which he explained as
the prevailing disease in Egypt, particular
ly among the young, occasioned by the
superstitous idea that washing might dis
close beauty of face and invite the evil
eye. General practice. as pursued by Mr..
Goodall, was an impartial dispensing of
Seidlitz powder and Cookies pills. Funny
accounts were given of the natives love of
medicine and how they preferred to take
pills dry and chew them we'll in order to
extract the full benefit. The worse the
taste the greater the gusto.
Other descriptions of everyday life,
associations with Abdullah, the chief of
the Fayoum, and his nice manner in dis
pensing justice we're given. A Bedouin
wedding, with all it's ceremonies, was also
graphically portrayed.
At the close of the paper, the president,
Mrs. j. A. Osgood, after suggesting q vote
of thanks to the speaker, remarked to the
club that Mr.. Goodall had been the recipi-
ent of a personal letter of appreciation
from Queen Victoria for his very efficient
services in Egypt. Mir Goodall Iaughiuely
disclaimed having had that homer. stating
however, that an acknowledged bad

Latest Freak of a Country Justice

The district attorney and the superior
judges are not. as rule, surprised at any
freak perpetrated by country justice in
of queer breaks made by them in inter-
preting the laws. The latest was received
yesterday. and it was an astonisher. Dis
trict Attorney Donnell was notified that on
Thursday e. S. Cook of Monrovia, sitting
for I. G. Bouldin at Azusa, decided the
unconstitutional. in the case of the people
VS.. l.. W. Bonney, charged with its viola
ton, and discharged the defendant. The
matter was turned over to Deputy McCo-
mas for investigation and report as to
what measures are to be taken. In KAN
sas the constitutionality of a law can be
raised before magistrate, but this is the
only state in the union in which it can be
done. OF course the proceedings at Azusa
were farce. but how to untangle the COM
pllcation is the next thing.

some POINTS ON PLUMBING
AN IMPORTANT CASE ON TRIAL BE.
FORE JUDGE SMITH
The City Ordinance in Jeopardy-lt Must Go
II 1t Conflicts With the State Law-De-
cislon In the Summeriand- BickneII Case.
Three Divorces Granted-Court Notes.

Judge Smith, in department one, was
yesterday engaged in the trial of a case
that is of much more importance than APP
pears on the surface, as il may lead to
knocking out the city plumbing ordinance.
Some time ago plumber named William
Henderson was arrested for violation of
the city plumbing ordinance. Henderson
is man of very decided views, and re-
fused to do his work according to the direc-
tion of the plumbing inspector. In other
more about plumbing than the entire ag-
gregation of talent that drew up the ordi-
nance. He believes in the ''pot" trap,
whereas. most authorities agree that the
as" trap is the best, besides which he has
some rather peculiar ideas on plumbing
ventilation which are forbidden by the or
dinance. To make long story short.
Plumbing Inspector 6urgoyne, after re-
peated warning, finally swore to a com.
plant, and Henderson was tried and con-
victed in the police court. being fined IS.
From this decision he ok an appeal, and
coming up in department one on its merits
yesterday. Henderson had rigged up sew
eral contrivances to show off his trap ideas,
while Inspector Burgoyne was fortified
with map showing how the connections
in dispute were made. Inspector Bur-
goyne and W. o. Merrill testified for the
people, and then Henderson had his
innings. Henderson tried to show by his
apparatus that the 'pot'' trap was the
proper thing, but the contrivances went
back on him, and the experiments proved
rank failures. Then, when his witnesses
were put on the stand, and they were all
architects, they unanimously testified
against the Henderson plan, saying that
they would not permit it in any building in
which they had anything to say. Then
Henderson's son went on the stand, and he
also proved a valuable witness for the peo-
pie. After this Mr.. Henderson got weary,
and concluded to offer no further testi-
mony.
Judge Smith took deep interest in the
proceedings, and showed much familiarity
with the noble art of plumbing. His honor
said that he was clearly of the opinion that
The defendant was in fault and that the
plumbing inspector was correct. There
was. however. legal point involved in
this matter. His honor was of the opinion,
that the state law put the control of the
plumbing in the hands of the health officer,
the same as other sanitary matters, and if
this was SO the city had no right to place it
in the hands of other officials. He would
examine into the matter, and if it was
found that the ordinance conflicted with
the state law it would have to go. If it did
not, then he would decide against the de-
fendant.
