table the two listeners often hear good
stories by the dentist and broker. The
dentist is an imaginative sort of story
teller, who manufactures finales to fit in

realist and philosopher.
One night the broker told OF lawsuit
in Alabama. A cracker from the noun
tains was on trial for shooting and wound
ing "nigger." He was arrested, and,
having no money, the Judge appointed
the broker to defend him. The broker
was not lawyer in the legal sense OF the
word, but the judge, who was an old col
lege mate OF his, says he was an idiot be-
cause he wasn't one; In other words he
was lawyer by instinct. The broker
cross questioned the witness briefly, send

to make speech be said:
Gentlemen Of the jury, have taken
great pains to show you that my client
was respectable citizen. Ten witnesses
have asserted-on oath, mind you--that
he stands high In his community"
The defendant was six feet three inches
tall and the jury smiled.
He stood high in his community, and
that is sufficient. Now for the law. We

"That gentlemen, is enough. I leave
the case in your hands,"
Each juror changed his quid, looked at
his neighbor, nodded. and without leav-

phatic verdict of mot guilty." and then
joined in three cheers for the defendant
and his lawyer.

the same ignorant or wilful assumption
that gold represents fixed and unchang-

her brother, the late John Tenant.
The building, which will be in the old
colonial style, is surrounded by five acres of
its own land. The site is outside the town
OF Pacific Grove, near the northern end of
the seventeen-miIe drive, and the
grounds are at present covered with pine
trees. When the building is completed it
is intended to arrange beautiful flower

for vegetable gardens, a miniature park
and accom- modations for horses, chickens
and COWS.
The building will command bea utiful
view of Monterey Bay. Work has already
commenced. and it is expected that by the
early autumn this home for aged people
will be ready for occupancy. The founda-
ton rests on bedrock three feet deep, and
the concrete wall rises from three to seven
feet above the ground. The exterior will
be of wood, while the inner walls will be
of the finest cement. The chief archi-

TROUBLE IN COMPANY G.,

tain w. F. Chipman to
Resign.
1t Is Alleged That Inspecting Officers
Regard the Captain as In
competent.

There is disruption in the ranks of Ala
meda's Company G, n. G. c. The cause is
the alleged incompetency of it's captain,
w. F. Chapman, who has been in COM
mand since the company's organization,
two years ago.
1t was last Thursday evening that the
members discovered that they were and
had been in the hands of an incompetent
drill master, and the discovery has re-
suited in the production OF a petition
which is to be presented to the captain
asking that he surrender his commission
and resign from Office.
On the night in question the inspection
OF the company took place in Armory
Hall, and it proved to be a dismal failure
All the members were present, and for at
tendance Company 6 received 100 per
cent, but in the drill the company was
handled in such style that the inspect.
ing officers could not help making adverse
comment in regard to it. The conduct
generally, it is asserted, was palpably
poor. The marching, use of arms, ap-
pearance of the men and everything else
was at wide variance with the correct, and
partook of a farce.
During the examination of arms,
accouterments, etc., on the morning fol-
lowing the inspection, Captain Chapman
received, in the presence of number of
the members of his company. q rebuke
from Captain Darlington which he perhaps
did not very well like. Captain Darlington
asked him if he had not better get out and
do something. which was understood to
mean that Chapman was incompetent and
had not come up to expectations as an
officer.
The words gave the members who heard
them the cue, and they soon had petition
drawn up as stated above.
There was business meeting of the
company last night. The words said to
have been uttered by Captain Darlington
were denied by Captain Chapman. The
latter gave his version OF them, and con-
strued different meaning. He feels con-
by him and be shows no signs of weaken
ing.
Some Of the members declared, after the
meeting, that the end is not yet and that
there will be more developments.
