FRESNO EDITOR SLED.
Evangelist Johnson Demands $50. 900
for Being Denounced.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, April THE Rev.
/. L. Johnson, who has been having such a
rough experience in Fresno recently on ac-
count OF alleged sweeping public utter
ances rejecting upon the chastity of the
young women of Fresno, this morning
filed a $4,000 suit in the United States Cir
cult Court against the proprietors of the
Daily Evening Expositor of Fresno.
He alleges as the basis for his suit publi-
cations in the Expositor of March 20 and
March 27, in which he was raked over the
Goals IN vigorous English, claiming that
these details were malicious. false and de-
famatory; that they injured his good name
as munster of the gospel and as man,
he having been regularly ordained
Methodist Episcopal minister for ten years
past in "ood standing.
Mr.. Johnson also brings a similar
SHIT Tor 80, 900 against the Fresno Repub-
iican Publishing Company for similar red

SANTA ROSA'S RACE.

SANTA ROSA, CAL. April -Four
more days and the contest for a queen of
the carnival will be decided. 1t is believed
that during that time the friends of the
Santa Rosa aspirants for crown of flow
ers will rally around the box with open
purses. 1t is pointed out that last year
the excitement over the election did not
begin until few days before the box was
closed, and on the last day, at the last
hour, gold pieces clinked merrily into the
box with an abandon refreshing to the
financial committee. This is offered as an
explanation by the knowing ones for the
coyness of the elusive nickIe up to date.
AS prophesied early in the fight there are
only two bellies in the race, and as both of
them are extremely popular and either
might well be proud, the degree of feeling
and partlsanship necessary to call out
large sums Of money is wholly wanting as
yet.
The count tonight again placed Mrs.
Burris in the lead by an even 100 votes.
Miss Sara Hall received about 70 votes
during the day and Miss Jessica Kloppen-
passed the 400 mark.
w. h. Grissim, veteran fireman Of this
city, has been appointed to wait upon the
Exempt Firemen's Association of San
Francisco and extend to that body a
cordial invitation to attend the carnival.
Company E, n. G. c., and other militia ry
organizations of the State will also be
invited to participate in the parade and
the other festivities as well.
A proposition has been received from
the northern end of the county to have a
fitting tournament by knights arrayed in
armor as of old. Sir Galahad, Sir Ivan
hoe and all their courtly trains mounted
on fleet steeds are to ride 100 yards in ten
seconds and during the run attempt to
impale upon their lances the small iron
rings made familiar to all by the merry
go-round. To the brave knight catching
the most rings it is proposed that a prize
OF $50 be given and that he also kneel be-
fore the Queen and be crowned with a
wreath OF laurel. The proposition will be
taken under advisement.
The necessary funds for big fireworks
display on Saturday night have been se-
cured and it is proposed to make the last
night OF the carnival merry one. Mask

a Chance For ZOlas

In spite of the fact that M. lola did
not score one vote for the French Acad-
envy at the late election, his success, ac-
cording to M. Claretie is not unlikely
at the next election to fill the fauteuil
of Dumas, If Dumas had been alive,
M. lola would not have been without
vote on this occasion, for, as is known,
the former took an active and friendly
interest in his candidature. The knowl-
edge that such was the case will have
its influence when Dumas own success
sor is chosen. Moreover, says M. Clar-

Their Conditions Changed.

When Charles Foster was governor Of
Ohio, Brice owed him $4,000. Brice
went to the governor and asked him for
a place. Foster said he could not appoint
him because he was a Democrat. Brice
responded dryly that unless he got a
place he could never pay that $4,000.
Foster said that he would rather lose the
money than appoint him. The result OF
the conference, however, was that Eos
ter gave Brice $500 and told him to go
into Wall street, and gave him advice
where to place the money. Brice took
the money, disregarded all advice and
rounded up $40, 900 in the street. Foster
was SO pleased he gave Brice half the
money. The latter returned to the street,
and by shrewd speculation built up an
immense fortune. He has since that time
turned the market upside down several
times. Today Charles Foster is practi-
cally poor man. He met Brice in the
lobby Of the Fifth Avenue hotel within
the last few days, and Brice said to him
"See here, you gave me start. Let me
help you now. +" Mr.. Foster felt touched
by the offer to repay, but declined. Mr..
Foster said: Nobody knows what Brlce
is doing. He may be bankrupt today,
but he will be a rich man again tomor-
row. He leads an odd financial life. -
