What We Inherit

We are not to blame for. We can
not be responsible for the dispo-
sitions and tendencies which We
derive from our ancestors, nor are We
responsible for the germs OF disease
which may manifest themselves in
our blood as a heritage from former
generations. But We are RESPONSE
bic if we allow these germs to de-
velop into serious diseases which
will impair our usefulness and de-
stroy our happiness. We are re-
sponsible if We transmit to our
descendants the disease germs which
it is possible for us to eradicate by
the use of Hoods Sarsaparila, the one
true blood purifier. This medicine
has power to make rich, red blood
and establish perfect health in place
of disease. %

to close the doors to the open exposl-
ton of such a vindication, and IN SO
doing give out statements which are as
palpably false as the article they de-
nounce was essentially correct as a re-
port of court occurrences"
That one Charles K. McClatchy is the
editor of and one of the proprietors OF
said newspaper, and, as deponent is in
formed and believes, and therefore says,
wrote and published the aforesaid
words.
Deponent shows to the court that he is
one of the attorneys for the plaintiff in
said action, that said publication is an
unlawful interference with the proceed
ings of said court in said action and is
contemptuous toward the said court and
Judge. and the same, in so far as it
charges the court and Judge with pre-
Judice, vindictiveness and falsehood, is
false scandalous and defamatory. That
said newspaper, containing said publ
cation, was widely circulated in the city
of Sacramento and in and about the
Courthouse while the said court was en-
gagged in the trial of said action, and the
same was intended to excite public pre-
Judice and Odium against said court and
against the plaintiff and her attorneys
in said action and thus to interfere with
the proceedings of said court, and to in
terrupt the due course of said trial.
Deponent further shows to the court
that on the Both day of May, 1896, the
said Charles K. McClatchy wrote and
published in said newspaper an article
referring to the proceedings upon the
trial of said case of Talmadge vs. Tai
madge, in which he in substance re-
peated the aforesaid accusations,
against the said court and in which the
following words were used: "The Bee
promises that when it publishes the bal
ance no intelligent man can find an ex-
cuse for the outrageously false state
Inents made in open court by ]. 3. De-
vine and Hon. A. P. Catlin."
Deponent further shows to the court
that on the 1st day of June 1896, while
the aforesaid action of Talmadge VS..
IaImadge was on trial in said Superior
Court, the said Charles K. McClatchy
wrote and published in said newspaper
an article referring to the proceedings
In the trial of said action, in which he
reiterated the aforesaid accusations
against said court and in which the
following words were used: THE Bee
therefore declared and to-day declares
that both the attorney before the bar
ana the Judge on the bench knew that
the statement made in the Bee was an
essentially correct epitome of the testi-
monV given by Mr.. Talmadge at the
very moment when they unhesitatingly,
shamelessly and brazenly declared it to
be a gross fabrication"
Deponent respectfully shows to the
court that each and all of said pubIca-
uons are contemptuous toward the said
court and Judge, and tend to and were
intended to degrade the said court and
excite public prejudice and odium
against it, and We're unlawful inter
ferences with the proceedings of said
court in the trial of said action.

GREY CONVICTED.
A Young Girl Tells How He Accosted
Her.

The case of John Grey, charged with
disturbing the peace by making an Of
fensive proposal to a young thirteen
year-old girl, was called in the Police
Court yesterday.
Daisy Hood and Susie Potts testified
that as they were passing along at
Fifth and K, Grey, who was sitting
down, called the former and offered her
his hand She thought at first that he
knew her. but when he said he would
like to meet her" she said she did not
meet anyone. She tried to get her
hand away, but he held on to it, and
said that he had seen her walking with
a gentleman the day before.
H. w. Buckley, Grey's attorney, ar
gued that no malice had been shown,
and therefore there had been no dis
tUrbance Of the peace, and whatever Of
fense had been committed was not seri-
Gus.
City Attorney Brown scored Grey Sc
verely and said that it was a. bad state
of affairs if innocent young girls could
not pass along the street without in
sulting proposals being made to them
by men old enough to be their fathers
Justice Henry said that, while the Of
language had beeen used, men should
be careful how they accosted girls to
whom they were strangers, and he
should find Grey guilty and sentence
him to-day
