SPELLING GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES
The United States Board on Geo
graphical Names has adopted some
principles for spelling geographical
nance, Of which we give a summary.
The spelling and punctuation which
is sanctioned by local usage should in
general be adopted. 1t is not adYls-
able in general to try to restore the
original form when local changes or
corruptions have become established
by usage. When the same name has
acquired different spellings, 1t Is in
advisable to try to make them uni
form, In all names ending in bur9h
the final h should be dropped. The
termination borough should be alb
breviated to bOro. The center as a
part Of the name should be spelled
center and not centre. The use OF
hyphens in connecting parts Of COM
pound names should be discontinued
The letters o. III. (court-house) as part
Of the names of county seats should
be omitted. 1t is desirable to avoid
the use of diacritical characters. and
of the words city and tom as part
Of names. The above principles ap-
ply to names in the United States.

This Company is really Kansas

Ian, secretary and Geo. r. Parker, of

grade ore is IN sight and has been for
some time as the assays which are
made nearly every day show. On the
other twenty acre tract, the shaft is
down fifty-six feet and drift of ten
feet made. A shaft is 81 feet by u
feet in the clear and timbered up

Two healthy beggars were taken in

HOLE THAT WOULD HOLD ARMIES
It Will Be Occupied by the Foundations
of a Thirty-two Story Building.

There is a remarkable hole being dug
in park row. and of the thousands of
persons who each day pass up and down
that busy thoroughfare. hardly one rails
to stop and, peering over the railing OF
the raised wooden sidewalk, wonder
how much deeper the workmen are go
ing down.
The same excavation, which extends
from No. 13 to No. 81 Park row, and
which runs through to Theater alley,
with a wing in Ann street, is to be the
site of a thirty-story, Office building,
and to support such massive structure
the foundations must be deep and solid.
Already the digging has been carried
to an unusual depth, and the men still
continue to go downward.
This excavation for foundations is
one of the largest and deepest ever dug
in this city, and, according to the archi-
tect's estimate, ,when-the digging,is COM
pleted $4,000 cubic yards of earth will
have been removed. This same number
of cubic yards reduced to cubic feet
amounts to 1920, 900 cubic feet of earth,
which must be shoveled and carted
away before work can be begun on the
foundations of the building. =
Very few persons have any reallcon-
ception of the vastress of hole out OF
which 1920 900 cubic feet Of earth have
been taken. Into such hole seventeen
ordinary city houses could be placed,
and even then they would not complete
ly fill 1t. The men, as they work in the
bottom Of this pit. seem like dwarfs.

The Spence Bequest Again to Be Tried
In Open Court

The case of Anna M. Spence, execu-
trix. ETC.. respondent VS.. j. P. Widney
ct al, appellants, to which brief allu-
sion was made yesterday in these col
umns, was passed upon by the supreme
court sitting in bank, Chief Justice
Beatty not participating.
The facts upon the case as originally
carried into court were that E. r.
Spence. now deceased, but at the time
referred to president of the First Ma
tional bank, conveyed certain property
at Sixth and Pearl streets in trust, that
the proceeds of sale might be expended
in erecting an observatory on Mt Will
son, and when built turned over to the
University of Southern California. The
trustees appointed ordered of M. Mar
tois Of Paris, through Alvin Clark, lenses
for 40-inch telescope, destined to be the
largest instrument in the world. These
were to cost 10000 francs. After GER
tain payments had been made the trust
ees. with Mr.. Spence's consent. deter
mined to sell the instrument to the Chi
cago university, as it was thought that
the order given was too elaborate for
the conditions of the trust. This was
done and profit made on the transac-
tion.
Meantime Mr.. Spence died, and his
widow, as executrix of the estate insti-
son that it could not be accomplished and
had been abandoned by the trustees
The lower court found in her favor
and Cancelled the trust
The supreme court in reversing this
decision and remanding the case for
new trial reviews the case very briefly
as follows:
The plaintiff, as the executrix of the
last will of E. F. Spence, deceased
brought this action to have Cancelled
and set aside a certain conveyance
made on January %, 1885, by said E. F.
Spence to M. M. Rovard, f. +. Spence.

of an express trust" upon the ground
that the conveyance was void from the
beginning, and the further ground that

been abandoned, and the trusts thereby
created had become Impossible of exc

A LITTLE EMPIRE
The Powers of the Board of Supervisors
of San Francisco Limited

The decision handed down by the su-
preme court yesterday in the case of the
People Of the State of California, ex rel
Charles s. Young, appellant, VS.. Mad
ison Babcock, respondent, will bring tri-
umph to political clique in San Fran
cisco.
The case was an appeal from a final
judgment in favor of defendant upon
sustaining demurrer to the complaint
of the relator. The facts in the case
were briefly as follows: On Nov. 4,
1895, c. s. Young was by the board of su-
pervisors appointed superintendent of
schools in and for the city and county
of San Francisco, to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of his predecessor.
He qualified, took the oath of office,
filed his bond as required by law as
such superintendent The defendant,
M. Babcock, however claimed to be su-
perintendent of schools sice Nov d. 1895,
and has usurped and intruded himself
into the office.
The single question presented, says
the supreme court, is as to the authority
of the board of supervisors of the city
and county of San Francisco After re-
viewing various authorities, the court
says. The supervisors, twelve in num-
Der, authorized by the consolidation act.
are endowed with municipal functions
unknown to the county government act.
and while identical in name with u e
body authorized by the latter act are
yet separate and distinct from the su-
pervisors or board of supervisors of such
latter act" The members of the court
are unit in the opinion that the su-
pervisOrs are municipal officers and not
county officers within the purview of
the county government act. 1t must fol-
low that they are charter and not legis-
lative officers
The court is of opinion that the power
to fill vacancies given to boards of su-
pervisors by the county government
act applies to the boards of supervisors in
and for the several counties of the state
other than the city and county of San
Francisco, and that as to the latter
the power to fill vacancies in office
comes from the consolidation act and
does not include vacancies in the office
of superintendent of public schools.
which are to be filled by the board of
education.
1t follows that the judgment appealed
from should be affirmed and we do so
recommend

and seen from above the distance looks
much greater than it really is.
If the United States army should ac-
cidentally march into hole of such di-
mensions 1t would take the bodies of
$4,000 men, or more than two-thirds Of
the entire army Of the United States, to
fill the space from which 100000 cubic
feet of earth had been taken.
All except the cupola of the city hall
would be completely out of sight in
such hole, and around the odd cor
ners there would be room for the city
hall park fountain and a smell section
of the park itself, scattered about here
and there, just to fill in.

very compactly slowed away in this
hole, and would not be crowded for

this will be, when completely excavated,
one of the most remarkable holes ever
dug in New York, and as 1t is 1t is the
scene of daily wonder to the passing
citizens as we'll as to the strangers
