Lovers of perfume will be
pleased to know that an emil

covered that many of these
fragrant essences are not only
harmless, but of actual value
to health. He demonstrates
this fact by the result of ex-
periments whereby he exposed
a number of disease microbes to
the action of various essential
oils distilled from flowers and
plants. Bitter almond, thyme,
lemon, and mint proved exceed
ingly killing, while lavender
ranked higher than either euca-
lyptus, turpentine or camphor.

This decision ends the Cotton Murphy

by Judge Hunt was brought by the First
National Bank to recover from Mrs. Col
ton the amount of an overdraft for $3.50.
She claimed the overdraft was the result
of the action of Mr.. Murphy, president of
the bank. She said he deducted the
amount from her account as commission
for the sale of her house on California
street to c. P. Huntington after he had
promised her it would not cost her any,
thing. The checks IN payment were de-
posted in the First National Bank and
from them the $3.50 was deducted.
Murphy claimed that the checks were
made out to him personally, but the
checks themselves showed that they had
been made out in favor Of the bank. Upon
rhis showing Judge Hunt instructed the
jury to find for the defendant.
In instructing the jury Judge Hunt said
that the question whether or not Mr.. Muir
ply was entitled to commission could
only be determined by suit brought by
Murphy TO recover the commission he
sought. As to his action In deducting
from the deposits the amount claimed, the
Judge said it was clearly wrong, and he
ordered the jury to find for the defendant,
Mrs. Cotton.

commanding officer, when retiring or
when the regiment disbands, to take the
hags as his own property. This custom
was followed when the First and Third
Infantry regiments and the Second Artll-
lery Regiment of this City were consoli-
dated into the First Infantry, and the new
organization was without flags.
Colonel Mcdonald Of the old Second be-
came the commander OF the new regiment
and had the flags of the consolidated-out
Second, but they were artillery flags and
therefore not fiji for an infantry regiment,
SO that new ones became necessary. Colo
mel Mcdonald and his staff concluded that
the regiment should have as fine stand
OF colors as money could buy, and for seve-
raj weeks past skillfui fiagmakers have
been at work on them.
Governor BudG was asked, as the COM
mander-in-c of the militia OF the State.
to make the presentation speech, and has
slgnlfied his intention of being present
with his staff to do the honors.
The occasion will be unique, from the
fact that the parade that will take place
after the ceremony will be the first parade
OF twelve-company regiment to take place
in this City
The captains of the various companies
have notified their men that full at
tendance will be expected, ard the occasion
is expected to draw almost the entire
strength of the regiment. The evolutions,
on account of the number of men and the
size of the assembly room, will be rather
limited, and the affair will probably par
take more of the nature of an inspection
than parade, though the Governor may
review the regiment on the street.
