OPEN ALL NIGHT.

Between these two lines in each case, a
cheap stamp of the attorneys face was
displayed.
From time to time, however, after get
ting Lubeck's business, Attorney Foote
made demands upon him for expense
money, court and shorthand reporters
fees and thousand and one other petty
affairs that must be paid il one cares to in
dulge in litigation. In all, Lubbock paid
Foote some $55 and awaited results.
The cases progressed to the extent of two
suits being brought in the Justices Court
and one in the Superior Court where they
are still pending for the matter OF that,
no decision having ever been given. To
bring these suits, Attorney Foote paid as
much as s13 out of the sos be received.
But Lubbock did not care so much for
that. What angered him and caused his
withdrawal of clientage from Attorney
Foote was the fact that while the latter was
thinking matters over the sued party had
eight months to sell out all his property
and make an exit for parts unknown, pre-
sumably Germany.
The result is that the $1,000 worth of
notes held by Lubbock are not worth the
paper they are written on.
In this dilemma Lubbock sought the adj
vice of Attorney James K. Ross, who, at
the instigation of his new client, has
formulated charges against Foote, setting
forth certain acts contrary to the ethics of
the profession as accepted by the Bar AS
ISOLATION.
While said charges we're being compiled
Attorney NJ. NJ. Foote brought suit in the
Justices Court against Lubbock to recover
S1s7 attorneys fees for advice. Three
days ago Justice Groezinger decided in
favor of the defendant, Attorney Ross
showing as his chief evidence Mr.. Foote'S
advertisement dodgers offering "advice
free"
Some of the other evidence developed a
phase of character not unusual with men
in Mr.. Lubecks business. 1t appears that
he was very anxious to know how his
cases were progressing. and he called at
least once or twice each day on his sttor-
ney to ascertain. In his bill of charges
going to make up the $187 claimed by
Foote the latter charged his client with
So for each visit.
The more serious charge, however, in
the complaint filed with the Bar Associa-
ton by Attorney J. K. Ross and Mr.. Lu-
beck, is that either Mr.. Foote or his clerk
yielded to a monetary consideration at the
hands of the debtor, who was allowed to
escape. Testimony to that effect was pro-
duced in the Justices Court when Lubbock
won the case.
~ do not know anything about dis
barment proceeding" said Mr.. Foote last
night. 81 suppose I have many enemies
who are capable of attempting such a
thing, but for the life of me do not know
who it can be unless that client OF mine,
Lubbock, has got his back up.
81 brought five or six suits for him, and
had fee Of s1S7 to collect. 1 had much
difficulty in getting financial recognition,
and finally brought suit.
HE has laid himself liable on several
occasions to prosecution for libel if had
seen fit TO press the matter. He is close
listed dog, anyway, and what he may say
or do will have no effect.

THE OLYMPIC BATHS.

Three Thousand Dollars Will Be Ex-
pended in improvements.
The Olympic Club must economic, so
say the directors. Some months ago,
when interest in the affairs OF the club
was tagging, the directors decided, after
long elaboration, that something must be
done to keep down the expenses, which
were considerable in an institution of this
kind.
The first thing done in the way of re-
trenchment was to reduce the salaries OF
the instructors. Rather than permit any
of the teachers to leave, the club thought
it best to cut off a slice from the monthly
wages of each employee. Walter Watson,
the boxing instructor, had his salary re-
duced from $50 TO $125 month; Profess
ors Beaulo, Meihling Trouchet and Clarke
came in for a share Of the ak.
Everything went along swlmmlngly Tor
while, and the directors were congratu-
lating themselves on the favorable pros
poets and the financial success they had
achieved from q boxing entertainment the
club gave in Mechanics Pavilion which
netted very nice sum.
Recently something occurred which
affected the club, and as a consequence,
the secretary received several designations.
Many OF those, vino in moment OF I'M
pulse, signifed their intentions of resign
ing, changed their minds when they had
an opportunity to consult with the direc-
tors and leading members of the club, and
are now stanch supporters OF the Olympic.
Harry Clarke, the swimming instructor
who was discharged few weeks ago, pre-
scented petition for reinstatement to the
directors at last nights meeting. The pc
tition was signed by a majority OF the
members of the Olympic Club, who are
strongly in favor of having Clarke restored
to his old position, which is that OF swim
ming teacher.
Clarke's services will not be required in
July and August, as the present bathing
compartments are to be torn down and
substantial bathrooms will be erected and
of material which will stand the ravages
of the salt water and its parasites.
Workmen will commence removing the
deeayed woodwork of the bathrooms on
July /.

NJ. NJ. Foote, the attorney, is about to be
subjected to the cathode ray of Judicial in

Foote, as he is better known, his initials

Well, Inverted Foote has brought
heaps of trouble upon himself through
client, one Morris Lubbock, who loans
money on collateral security for every
dollar he loans out and makes charge
for interest based principally on what the
victim will stand.
Lubbock loaned out nearly $1,000 on the
unsecured notes of man he believed to
be as good as gold. This paper matured
and it was protested. Then Lubbock en-
gagged Attorney Rosenthal to enforce col
lection. Tie latter, however, was not
prompt enough to please Mr.. LuDeck,
who listened to the persuasive arguments
of Attorney Foote, who advised him to
take his affairs out of Rose nthaPs hands
and put them into his. Lubbock did this
after gazing upon the walls of Mr.. Foote's
Office, decorated with advertising posters
saying:

Livermore, Alameda County, where he
went to attend the mass-meeting held by
the League of Progress Since the league

Shade trees of all kinds have been set
out along the public thoroughfares, and in
a few years Livermore will be one of the
most picturesque towns IN Alameda

The people turned out to the mass-meet-
ing in large numbers and the meeting
place was filled to the doors. An overflow
meeting was held in the street.

MOhammedans divide themselves into
two principal sects-Shiah and Sunni
the Persians representing the bulk Of
the former. the Turks of the latter.
The chief points on which they differ
are the condition of the soul after death
and the succession of caliphs The
Sunni belief is that there is one i'm
mortal God, whose works are without
beginning or end, and that he will be
visible to the souls of the blessed, while
the Shiahs deny the Immortality Of the
soul and maintain that the coexistent
principles of Zoroaster will forever con-
tend for the mastery" With regard to
the prophets successors, the Sunnis
claim that the lawful successor of No
hammed was Abu Bekr, and after him

THe OLDEST LOCK.
IL Formerly Secured One Of the Doors @i
N Palace of NinEweh.


n Palace Of Ninsweh.
The very oldest lock In existence Is
one which formerly secured one Of the
doors of a palace Of Nineveh Il is n gi-
gantio affair, and the key TO il, which Is
as large as one maj can conveniently
carry, reminds one of the Scriptural pas
sage where the prophet makes reference
to such instruments being carried on
the shoulder. The exact words in the
passage referred to are, "And the key
of the house Of David 1 will lay upon
his shoulder. "
This enormous key to the lo'k from
Nineveh is nearly 81 feet in length
and Of the thickness of a four inch drain
tile. II was found at the end Of "A ruin
ed chamber, where a large wooden door
had probably once stood, the gigantic
brass hinges and heavy bars being still
in fair condition. though somewhat cor
roded. This relic of the olden times has
but few points of resemblance to the
keys Of modern manufacture. or even 70
those Of the early part of the Christian
era. The tubular idea had never been
thought ont in those days. but the key
is fearfully and wonderfully made, b.
ing equally as intricate "a piece cf ma
chincry as the lock in which it was
used A great many Of the bars and
pegs in the lock are believed 10 have
been made Of wood, as their places are
now empty. The notches and pegs in
the key, however, show that there were
corresponding pegs and bars in the lock
at one time. The great lateral iron bars
at the end Of the key, with their com
plicated series II notches, cruSshars,
bumps, etc. are proof that the lock was
once similarly provided. This being the
case, il is reasonable TO suppose that at
one time the door tn that palace could
not have been opened until the key had
been inserted and tho impcdimcnt 20
