JUDGE FIELDS CALIFORNIA OAK,

Golden State.

said to Be the Biggest TEee in the
Golden state.
From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The glories of the sequoia gigantea have
been sung by poets and described by Cali
fornia tourists. and are tolerably familiar to
the whole world, but II Is not generally
known even to people familiar with Monte
rey and its surroundings that there is a
live oak tree near Monterey Bay which is
thought by many good judges to be. in some
respects. the largest tree in the state The
tremendous spread of it's branches was
noticed by Timothy Bcales Field, a nephew
OF the justice of that name, who, as a mid
shipman in the United States navy visited
the coast before the occupation. Young
Field, who mas long since been gathered to
his fathers, sixty years ago wrote home a
long description of the marvellous oak to his
relatives.
Last summer while at Monterey the mem
ory OF this letter recurred to Justice Field
and he made n search for the oak which
after the fashion of some Of the oaks in
Monterey, was concealed by sand dunes
that the ordinary observer would scarce sus-
pect the extent of its wide spreading
branches. He finally discovered it and
found 1t even more interesting than the
early description, for. during the interval it
more than a thousand persons could find
shelter in and under the branches of the
tree, which. since it's rcdiscOvery, is popu-
lar1y known as Justice Fields Oak" a
name which the drivers of the vehicles at
tached 10 the hotel gave it when they heard
OF the judges interest in this singular ar
boreal specimen.

under which the self-governing communi-
ties OF Canada control their own destinies
with scarcely any Interference whatever
from the parent state. The distinerishinp q
feature Of this elastic system is embodied
IN the application to each of its widely di-
vergent parts of that form of government
which seems best adapted to It's special
stage OF development and to its local wants
and traditions. To those communities
which are fully developed not only repre-
sentatives. but responsible government is
given; to those not so far advanced repre-
sentative government only: to those still
more backward. a composite form, partly
representative and partly official, while

Certain ChivaIrOus Incidents In

Rev. T. Wilson in Charleston News and Courier
I'm 1SS. I met in Richmond a Colonel
Mccoy of Pennsylvania, who had been a
gallant wearer of the blue. We got quite
chummy over the mixed wood campfire
and wishing to put him at his ease 1 told
him the story of Kershaw's magnificent
reconnaissance Of Fredericksburg, which
can never he TOO often repeated. An Or
DERBY had arrived in hot haste with COM
mani for General KerShaw to have the
enemy reconnotered at all hazards from
a knoll which swept by the fire of the
sharpshooters of both armies. Every
bush and tree had been cut away by the
storm of bullets. and it looked like certain
death to the man who should attempt it.
Calmly singing his field gl"=s and turning
over his command to the ext officer in
rank. Joseph Il. kershaw rode slowly up
to the death trap, into which he would
not send any other man. The sight OF his
heroic action he sat amid the whistlins

his glass. was too much for the chivalry
of the Yankee commander. and the order

Civil Service Rules Benefit Railroads.

From my own observation in thirty years
Of railroad service said freight official
recently, Il have satisfied myself that in no
line of business can civil service be more ef-
fectual in good results than in railroading.
On the Pennsylvania lines if man proves
himself competent from the day he enters
the companys service he Is in line of pro-
motion, and if he properly performs the du-
ties assigned him and is faithful to the COM
pany's interests, only old age, sickness or
death will sever the relations, unless the
official or employe fetires of his own will to
erter fields which promise better salaries.
This is also true of the New York Central,
as the same rules regarding the service of
employees are practiced there as those which
prevail on the Pennsylvania, and this ac-
counts in a large measure for the success
which has given the companies named such
an enviable record On either of the sys-
TENS named there are today more men who
have been in the employ Of those companies
twenty years Cg more than there are men
who have bee/ employed a less number of
years. On either the New York Central or
the Pennsylvania lines, you find men who
have been in the service Of those companies
twenty. thirty and In numerous cases forty
years, and this is the rule rather than the
execution"

Chicago Yachtsmen Preparing to
Build New Defender.
From the Chicago Trib,ne.
There Is a possibility that Chicago may
furnish the yacht to defend the America
cup. Growing out of q jocular remark
made by Theodore Poekel is a plan for the
construction by Chicago men Of yacht
to sail in the New York trial races as a
candidate for the defense of the trophy
Won by America.
Two or three weeks ago a party of Chi
caSo yachtsmen was in the works Of the
Racine Buat Manufacturing Company,
watching with critical eyes the progress of
F.! C. Berriman's yacht Vencedor 1t was
about the time of the announcement that
Emperor William would send Meteor to
sail for the America cup. One Of the party
was Theodore Poekel. designer of Vence-
dor and formerly for the Herreshoffs of

lender. said Theodore PoekeI
II You can do that" replied one OF the

You will not furnish it ALL" said another
OF the chicago yachtsmen. 'for 1 want to
do part of that myself
1t was then agreed between two of the
party that III the event of a challenge by
the emperor or by any other yachtsman for
tiie america cup they would bring out of
the Racine yards yacht to sail in the pre-
Emfnary heats under the auspices of the
New York Yacht Club
The offer Of the Chicago men was made
IN good faith. and they have gone as far
IN the matter as is possible until a chal-
ienge for the America cup has been re-
ceived by the New York Yacht Club. After
the receipt of the challenge nine months
must elapse before the preliminary races.
giving ample opportunity for the construc-
tlon OF an adequate boat. A race for the
cup VIII not be possible then till the spring
OF 1897. 1t will be necessary for one or
more OF the owners of the Chicago boat to
become members of The New York Yacht
Club. Several Chicago men are already
enrolled in its membership.

challenge for the cup. Their offer is
SAID not to be conditional on a challenge by
Emperor William, but to be open in the
case OF challenge by any other reputable
owner.
The mere possibility of the construction
OF yacht on fresh water for the defense
Of the cup Is sufficient to cause a stir
among yachting men. the designing of fast
boats having been confined to the seaboard
According to E. c. Berriman. there is moth
ing improbable in the idea of the construc-
ton OF winner in a fresh-water shin
yard. The conditions of sailing are some

BEST WAY TO ESCAPE ARREST.
Criminals Find Safety by Getting
Thrown Into Jail.

Criminals Find Safety by Getting
Thrown Into Jail.
From Answers.
The very safest place for a suspected
criminal is the police CELL and the burglars
latest dodge to escape hts eremy, the
mark" is to commit trivial crime and
get himself locked up.
During the last six months it has been
quite common thing for burglar or as
sassin who has committed a big robbery
to smash a window or lamp glass, or as
sault policeman. and get himself term
Of three or four weeks Imprisonment.
This throws the detective off the scent, es-
pecally when the thief slips away, as he
generally does, to another town, and gets
himself arrested there In such a case the
only safe plan for the detective to follow is
to search all the police courts himself with
in a radius of thirty miles from the place
where he lost the trail Of the hunted man.
Even when this is done tees have been
known to pass over the thief without recog-
niZing him, SO completely does shaving
cropping and the broad arrow suit alter a
mans appearance.
For instance. a most exhaustive search
was made some years for Jackson. the cele-
brated Manchester murderer. When al
most run to earth the detectives suddenly
lost all trace of him, and it was a consider
able time before he was discovered by q
pure accident in Bradford Jail. where he
was working out a three weeks sentence
fer some trivial offcnSe, deliberately COM
mitted as blind
This dodge, however has been so much
resorted to Of late that it is becoming less
safe than formerly, but 1t Is still frequent
ly worked with success.

Some one said to Senator Brice that it
did not matter which way the silver ques-
ton was decided. as the country could
be just as prosperous under a silver stand
ard as it was with the gold standard, and
this remark reminded Senator Brice OF a
story. Two well-bred young men were
rivals for the affection of a fair lady, and,
being gentlemen they , did not wish to fight
they want to go at it with their fists
They glowered at each other little while,
and then one said to his rival: 1--WE don't
want to fight about this lady. so I'll tell
you what we'll do. We will toss for her. -
To this the other agreed. "Then," said
the first, "I'n toss up a brick, and IL it
