Hawkins inpaneled to Investigate the
death of Mrs. Elizabeth Mcleod on
last Tuesday night.
The story of the domestic troubles of
the McLeodJ, which ended in the death
OF his wife, shows that she suffered for
a long time at the har ardIs of her abusive
husband. From the time of their mar
riage by contract in February. 1891, they
had frequently quarreled. On several
occasions Mrs. Mcleod had her husband
arrested for battery and threats against
her life. and ON Thursday, the 14th
inst, Mcleod was arrested for threaten
ing her life He was released by Judge
Low on his own recognizapce upon his
promise that he would not again visit
his wife. He visited the house on last
Monday and again threatened her

reached on Tuesday. On that day Mrs
Mcleod went 10 the new city hall to
secure a warrant for her husbands ar

to abuse her, choking her and indirectly

The rise which began last week con-
tinued until Tuesday, when the usual

reaction set in. 1t was also an entirely
natural circumstance that on the ex-
treme advance traders should have put
out fresh lines of shorts, though the
disposition to cover such contracts at a
very moderate concession in prices was
a notable feature Outside interest in
the market was more of factor in the
early portion of the week than for
long time past, and the commission
brokerage houses executed orders suf-
ficient at times to make such buying a
factor in speculation. At the same time
public interest has not grown to such an
extent that the bull traders and the

lessly, and their attitude during the

essary Rights of Way.

SAN FRANCISCO. Jan. 22.-The work
of securing rights of way for the San
Joaquin Valley railroad south of Fresno
is progressing very favorably except
along the proposed line between Fresno
and Reedly. According to reports re-
ceiveG by Engineer Storey from the
several committees engaged on right of
way work. the company will experience
very little trouble in securing a clear
right of way to BakerSfield by way of
Hanford, but on the Reedly branch con-
siderable trouble and litigation is antici-
pated.
1t is stated that the unwillingness of
the property owners along the line be-
tween Fresno and Reedly to furnish the
company with q right of way at reas-
enable figure will mot interfere with the
companys plans in the matter OF con-
struction. The directors of the company
say that white they would like to push
the work of construction on both lines
at the same time they can easily concen-
trate their forces on the Hanford line
and abandon work OH the Reedly branch
until the people get ready to give the
company a right of way.

the readitst manner available to the
barber for preventing such untoward
occurrences would be by sterilizing his

by steam or boiling water. Razors
should be made SO that their handles

to the sterilizing process. Under this
rule, then, each customer would be
sure of having clean" shave in more
senses than one. OF course, also, on
the principle of a fresh pot of tea for
each customer" a freshly scalded-out
lather pot should be included with each
shave. Unless these or similar pre-
cautions be carried out in BARRIERS

Altogether, to keep the whole world in

elephants are slaughtered annually.
Africa is the great ivory country; and
in the Congo basin, the best hunting
ground, there are supposed to be about
zoe, 900 elephants, worth altogether
about 6 100000. The average weight
of ivory obtained from a single ele-
plant is about so pounds. Tusks
weighing about 100 pounds each have
been procured, but this is very rare.
The most expensive tusks are those
used in the manufacture of billiard
balls; they cost. as q rule, e11o 100

Ivory dust and shavings are used by
confectioners to stiffen the more ex-

A POPULAR FALLACY..


KAu IN TemperotuFo Of Ocean Does Not
Indicate Presence Of lee.
For many years an opinion existed
among seamen and others that fall in
the sea-surface temperature implied
nearness of ice. Nothing. says the
Nautical Magazine, can be more remote
from the truth. though shore folk still
rerpetuate this fiction in books and
newspapers. A sudden fall in sea-
surface temperature is likely near the
Agulhas, the Japanese current, the gulf
stream, while running the Fasting down
in the South Indian ocean, in the South
Atlantic about 40 degrees south, 40 de-
grees west, and elsewhere; and this,
whether icebergs be near or hundreds
OF miles away. Capt. 8. T. s. Lecky, r.
n. r.. to whom the nautical profession
Is indebted for his wrinkles in Prac-
teal Navigation" was probably the
first to draw the attention of his breth-
rem to this fact. In the ninth edition OF
his book he points out that 'allied to
fog II the question of danger from ice.
1t 10 popular delusion among passen-
gers on board ship that, by taking the
temperature Of the water at short in
tervals, the approach to ice 10 unfailing-
~ indicated. Unfortunately such Is BY
no means the fact, and it il time the idea
was exploded. More than ordinarily
cold water merely shows that the ship is
In part Of the ocean where ice may
possibly be encountered, and not that
It u actually present" Shipmasters Of
repute freely confess, with Capt. Evans,
OF the Tainui, that they have 'never
found sea temperature fall lower when
near ice than when several miles away
from the danger.
