in handling the piece thus being re-
duced to a minimum The smith in
welding in the angle pieces begins at
one end and continues until the middle
OF the frame Is reached, when the frame
Is turned around and the other end sub
jected to q like operation.
This work, probably the most partic-
ular of any performed, If there can be
particular work where all is perfect, is
turned out with considerable dispatch
by smiths, who thoroughly understand
their business, and two mechanics have
been known to weld an entire frame in
eight hours.
Numerous tests of welding have been
made in the shops, all tending to prove
that the lap weld came nearest to
the strength of the unveiled article,
with the v weld a close second and the
butt weld left almost entirely out in
the cold. All butt-welded bars, when
broken by tests, showed crystalline
structure at the fracture, owing to the
upsetting Of the fiber with no chance to
draw it out again.
These things and many others will the
visitor to the Southern Pacific black
smith shop see, and as the foreman
points out and explains the cunning
contrivances and advanced methods for
performing the work, he will begin to
realize how, under the most perfect sys-
tenn on the coast, such vast results are
accomplished, and the man who
watches the smith at work will treasure
the scene away somewhere in his brain,
and forever after have a sort of fellow
feeling for all blacksmiths.

FELL FROM HIS WINDOW
+. I. Van Fleet Has a Close Call for
His Life.
The Cause Of the Accident Not Known,
But Supposed to be Som
nambulism.

T. T. Van Fleet, the well-kuown at
torney, was very seriously. and it was at
first feared fatally, injured very early
yesterday morning, at his home, Twen-
ty- third and II streets.
He returned from Pacific Grove last
night, whittier he had taken his family
to spend a few weeks. Just how the ac-
cident happened is not known, as Mr..
Van Fleet can give no account of the
occurrence. He was seen reading at his
window about II o'clock, but about 10
a. m. his next-door neighbor, B. +. Pike,
heard some one groaning. and going
out into the yard, discovered Mr.. Van
Fleet lying insensible in the yard, i'm
mediately under the window of his
bathroom.
AS all the doors were locked, entrance
to the house was gained by means of
the window, and Mr.. Van Fleet was re-
moved to his room and Dr. F. G. Fay
was called to assist him. 1t was found
that his collar bone was broken in three
places, and his arm and three ribs We're
bI oxen. There is also a bad cut back
OF his ear, and his head is cut. 1t is sup
posed that most Of his injuries were
caused by his falling on the picket fence,
which was below his window.
1t was several hours before he recov-
cred consciousness, and when he did
SO he could give no account of what had
happened. AS he was undressed, it is
probable that he either stepped out of
the window in a fit of somnambulsm
or sat in the window enjoying the cool
evening air and fell asleep.
Last evening he had fully recovered
his consciousness and DR.. Fay has hopes
that he will pull through all right. His
brother, Justice w. c. Van Fleet of
the Supreme Court, was telegraphed to
and came up yesterday afternoon, but
his family will not be sent for unless he
becomes worse, which does not now ap-
pear likely.

BAR ASSOCIATION.
Test of Educational Qualifications for
Applicants Favored.

The Bar Association of Sacramento
held a meeting yesterday, A. l.. Hart
j. w. Hughes, G. H. Oatman, D. z.
Alexander, C. M. Beckwith, j. B. De-
vine, A Platnauer, c. w. Baker, H. c.
Ross, c. B. Brown, Luke Howe and c.
A. Bliss being present, and A. l.. Hart
presiding.
Very little business was done outside
the reading of the minutes and partial
reports of one or two committees.
D. e. Alexander said that lawyers
should be educated, and the law should
be so amended that a man should at
least be a graduate of the high school
or hold a grammar-grade certificate, or
be a university graduate, in order to
have a standard of education required
before admission to the bar. AS it is,
the Supreme Court, in it's examinations,
only goes into questions of law and
pays very little attention to education
outside of them.
A Platnauer did not favor limiting
graduation to particular schools, but
thought candidates should have general
educational qualifications. The Legis-
lature could pass law that those who
applied for license should pass an ex-
animation as to their educational quail
ifications, in case they had not grad
uated or had not certificates.
Mr. Alexander moved that the Com
mittee on Legal Education be request
ed to formulate plan by which a test
of education could be applied to appli-
cants, in addition to their legal educa-
tion, and report at the next meeting.
Carried.

mittee on Grievances C. L. White, vice
w. P. Harlow, and G. F. Gardner, vice

EMPTY WAREHOUSES;.
Suggestion Made by an Up-Country
Newspaper.
(From the Corning Observer.)

(From the Corning Observer)
For the first time since the warehouses
were built, they are now perfectly
empty. The last few hundred sacks Of
wheat were shipped away on Monday
From what we can learn all the ware
houses are empty this season. and it is
our firm belief there is a very small
quantity of old wheat on hand in Cali
fornia. This fact is kept quiet by spec
ulators, afraid that the price of the new
wheat would go up. Newspapers
through the State could settle this mat
ter each year better than any others.
Let each editor find out the quantity of
wheat on hand in his neighborhood and
send the amount to one central news
paper-say the Record of Sac
ramento-and that paper would publish
the total amount.

" Tue lnlut ZOE coinage. So now
Tor like period gold has been
the legal standard. but ia addi.
ton to the halves, quarters aud
dimes, we had III those days. The
Government has on its own acs
count coined and put into circus
lation 80 times as many silver
dollars as were coined from the
beginning Of the Government.
down TO 1873 under the free COIN
age and keeps them all as good
as gold dollars. And yet the
people are told that silver has
been demonetized and that free
silver will give US bimetallic
currency.
Nor will it be possible 10 pass
through this change without the
panic. the business dislocation..
the paralysis of enterprise that
always attend a great ard sudden
change in the standard of value
and disappoint the expectations
Of those who hope to pay past
debts in cheaper money.
And even when we had passed
through the confusion and disas.
ter ofthis. headlong plunge, what
should we have Z ONLY SILVER
MoNoMETALLIsM instead of the
gold and silver which we now
have.
No farmer or other man could
get a dollars worth Of silver
without paying the market price
for it, as he pays the market
price today for gold. He would
be no richer in fact. or better off
in any way, byicalling SOC. a dol-l
lar thanIhe would by calling two
pecks of wheat a bushel. or two
rods of land an acre.
II was stated from the Treasur

down to crime Of 1873, only
81, 4s9, 457 in silver dollars were
coined for circulation, and all
these before 1910. All the rest

coined for bullion dealers to ex-
port. AS against this 81, 100000
in eighty years. we have since
1878 coined and have in circula-
tion S42s. 100000.
Yet the cry IS that silver has
