for general voting day, when every one
in town will be asked to deposit one ticket
for his favorite candidate. IL is believed
that fully 5000 will be cast on that day,

Career of Judge Huse, Notc IN an Insane
AsyfuDi.
SANTA BARBARA, CAL, March 2.-
Judge Charles S. Huse, the Highlands
asylum inmate. to free whom strong
effort is being made, was well-known
resident of this city, and once a man of
great wealth. Judge Huse was sent to the
Napa asylum from this place about twelve
years ago upon the complaint of his wife.
He was a prominent attorney here, in
active practice for many years.
Judge Huse was man OF great natural
ability, graduate of Harvard, and at one
time owned considerable land here. Both
the Judge and his wife were held in high
esteem, being generous to fault, and it
was through his excessive liberality that
their large property was dissipated. When
about 50 years of age, he broke down men
tally, being harassed at times by strange
delusions, his one predominant fancy
being that there. were devil threads" in
his clothing. The authorities at Napa
afterward declared that it was almost i'm
possible to keep him in clothing, nothing
but the stoutest duck being capable OF re-
sisting his constant hunt for devil
threads" This peculiar habit is still
noted. Press reports state that his brain
appears to be perfectly clear, the only
popularity notable about him being per-
sistent picking at his clothes.

dope" ON THE CITY HALL.
Jobbery and Bad Workmen Said to
Be Found on the New Dome

JODO0ry ana BAD WOrkmen SAID 10
Be Found on the New Dome.
AS an incident of the strike R. T. Nc
Ivor paid visit to the City Hall yesterday
just to ascertain what was the condition of
the men employed on the tower. What
he observed was enough to cause vast
deal of trouble, and certainly 1t was a
revelation to the union workmen.
II found number of men painting. or
more correctly daubing, the roof of the
tower" said he, with some stuff that
looked like paint. 1t was evident from the
first glance that they were not tradesmen,
that they had not learned the trade of
painting, but were simply nothing more
nor less than laborers. And they were
working for 81 day. Think of it, men
putting q covering that looked like paint
on part of the roof OF the City building for
81 Il day!
"Their work made me suspicious thatall
was not quite right on that contract, so
went downstairs to make an investigation.
l dug up the contract and found that it
had been grossly violated. The contract
was between the City and Lewis & O'Con-
nor, and, l believe, was sublet to some one
else It's specifications provided that the
iron roof should be scraped and cleaned on
old and new work and should then be cov
cred with one coat of paint.
''When | went up there on the roof to-
day found that these laborers were put
ting on the stuff over everything-rust,
dirt and water. They had not scraped or
cleaned the roof and were not doing SO.
Besides the mixtures they laid on was not
paint; it might be mixture of oil and
little metallic, but it was no good.
II shall see the superintendent of con-
structlon tomorrow and lay this matter
before him. If he does not choose to do
the right thing we shall make stir about
it that may surprise people. In the event
that he would refuse to replace the men
at work with competent union painters.
we should call off the cornice-workers
now employed on the dome.
"While the Cornice-workers' Union is
not yet affiliated with the Building Trades
Council they are With us to man. There
are not more than eighty or ninety cornice-
workers in San francisco, but nearly every
one of them is q member of the union, so
they are we'll organized and are expected
to come into the Building Trades Council
almost Immediately. OF course have aot
the power to call them off job, but as
they are all in hearty sympathy with us l
have their assurance of their support.
"If the superintendent do not pay any
attention we can only conclude that he is
not in sympathy with US. Anyhow, a
man in his position ought to know the
difference between novice and an
experienced mechanic. not to speak of the
jobbery that was apparent"

Popular Mrs. Morse Confined In the
Highlands Asylum.

SAN BERNARDINO, CAL, March 81
One of the most popular society ladies of

and friends to-day and placed in the
asylum at Highlands. She is Mrs. E. H.
Morse, and besides being q social leader
is a heavy stockh in Hotel Stewart
and San Bernardino National Bank, and
owns considerable land.
About eight years ago her husband. E..
H. Morse, who was cashier of the San
Bernardino National Bank, was murdered
in the bank while defending it against an
attempted robbery. Since that time Mrs.
Morse has changed, and her bereavement,
coupled with financial trouble, has tended
to unsettIe her mind. She was aware that
she was losing her reason, but did not be-
lieve the asylum would be her future
home. The parting scenes were pitiful,
and disinterested spectators shed tears.

LONDON, Enc, March 27.-A dispatch
from Wellington, New Zealand, says that
the report of the speech delivered at
Wintoh on Tuesday last by the Hon. ]. G..
Ward, Minister of Marine, was inaccurate.
Mr.. Ward was arguing against providing a
sinking fund. predicting that within fifty
years it would be necessary for the British
colonies to obtain millions of pounds to
OF the empire. The original dispatches
from Wellington said that Mr.. Ward de-
clared that New Zealand must shortly ex-
pect to have her debt largely increased
The colony could not always expect Great
Britain to protect it, and it would
soon be necessary to obtain millions of
pounds to provide its own fleet.
