SHARP FENCING BY COUNSEL
Experts in Handwriting and an Expert
at Testifying Entertain the
Audience.

Judge Daingerfeld' court has developed
remarkable powers of attraction with the
progress of the Martin case. No recent
civil case has been contested as has been
this against the Southern Pacific Railroad
to recover damages for having expelled a
passenger from a train at an out-of-the-
way station because the passengers sigma
ture, written at the request OF the con-
ductor, did not seem to agree with the
signature as written on the ticket at the
time of its purchase.
1t is not so much the elements in the
action itself that create the interest, nor
the quality or character of the evidence,
but the contest, now with broadswords
and now with rapiers, of the giants who
sit on the opposite sides of the counsel
table.

FRANK MCCoPPIN, Postmaster.
In reply to this letter the Postmaster re-
celved a communication from MIR. Aiken,
dated at Washington, March 27, thanking
him fer his suggestions and outlining ad-
dltlonal changes in the plans. Postmaster
McCoppln replied TO this letter OH April
T. four days after its arrival and after he
had carefully gone over the plans again.
He did not like the second plan and he
said SO. The substitution by Mr.. Aiken
OF six main entrances TO the Postoffice for
three, as first intended, did not meet with
the approval of the Postmaster. He said
IN his reply that the change would break
up the floor space and render it more diff
cult to secure arrangements which, in his
judgment. were necessary for the conven-
fence OF the postal service. The two best
rooms on the floor, for instance-those at
the corner of Seventh and Mission and
Seventh and Stevenson streets respec-
tively-would be so isolated as to be out of
touch with other divisions and TO that ex-
tent lily adapted for the service contem-
plated. The Postmaster ventured the
turther criticism that two minor entrances
facing on the same street would give
less imposing effect architecturally than
might be derived from one. The Post
master emphasized his former suggestions
as TO interior arrangements and declared
tnat he was exceedingly anxious that the
proposed building should be so arranged
as 10 meet the requirements of the postal
service OF San Francisco for the next fifty
years.
Now the department will have to fur.
nlsh some other excuse for the long delay
in commencing work on the Postoffice.
An effort will be made to have the Cali
fornla delegation at Washington force the
department to begin the work without
further delay.

DEFYING THE LAW.
A Young Man Arrested for Selling Five
and Ten Cent Pools to


Thomas Mullen, "a years of age. who
calls himself circus performer, was ar
rested yesterday afternoon by Mount ted
Policemen Dinzler and Wilkinson for vio-
lating the pool ordinance. Mullen was
arrested about two weeks ago for the same
oifense, and Judge Low dismissed the
case. He takes up a position outside the
lnaieside racetrack fence, and has a crowd
OF newsboys and messenger boys around
him. They bet their nickeis and dimes
with Mullen on the races, and he makes
up his books on each race, charging his
commission after the results are known by
watching the races from the branches of a
tree.
The spirit of gambling is infused into
the minds of the boys by the doings of
such men as Mullen. who has openly de-
ned the police since Judge Low dismissed
the case against him. The police will
push the case against him this time with
all their vigor, and hope to be able to
secure conviction from some other Judge.

is a disease due to a living mite in the

KEEPING EGGS.

While there are a number of ways of
packing eggs during the latter part of
summer or early fall to keep until win
ter, when better prices can be realized,
it should be understood that no matter
how carefully the packing may be
done, they will sell in market as stale
eggs and will not bring as much per
dozen as fresh eggs. Probably the
most economical plan, all things con
sidered, is to pack in salt and store in
a cool place. Pack in convenient sized
boxes Or barrels so that they can be
readily turned half over every two or
three days. Be careful in packing that
the eggs do not touch each other; sift
the salt carefully between them as
each layer is put in. Store in a cool,
even temperature.
