"Of course" said the court, anything
before that is cut off by the statute of
Limitations. In regard to the alleged re-
concillation at Nashville in 1892, there
Is nothing in the evidence to point to
such fact except the testimony of the
plaintiff and naturally the testimony of
party to the action must be held as far
inferior to documentary evidence which
consisted In letters invariably unfriend-
ly.
Even II it be allowed that she desired
a reconcilia ton, and in fact had strong
affection for her husband, that does rot

THREE OF A KIND
A. E. Davis Being Tried for the Greene
Forgery

The trial of A. E. Davis for being con-
cerned ir the forging of a deed began
yesterday in Department one. Davis
was one of the trio who forged the name
of Mr. Greene to mortgage of lot l, in
the Daily tract, and upon the strength of
their representation obtained $1,000 from
the Columbia bank. The other two de-
PENDANTS. to be brought to trial later,
are W. M. Ware and Charles Compton.
1t was quite late in the day when the
last man stepped into the jury box
Then w. NJ. Ware. who turned states
evidence at the preliminary examina-
ton. went upon the witness stand. His
testimony was a mere recapitula tion of
what he stated at the examination, and
which was published at length at the
time. He outlined the plan as having
been devised by Compton and carried in
to execution by himself ard Davis. He
did not hide his own criminal participa-
ton but he did not fail either to show
that Davis had a knowledge Of the un,-
dertaking upon which he embarked, and
did so deliberately. The exact place in,
the case to be assigned to Mrs. Reinold,
who kept the real estate office in which
Compton and Ware arranged the pre-
liminaries, and who, it is plainly inti-
mated. had guilty knowledge of what
was going OH is hard to define at pres
ent.
Meantime Ware will again be ON the
stand this morning.

INUNDATED AND DEGRADED
By Being Driven Through the Street
in the Patrol WAGON

Fred L. Fish, who claims that he is a
contractor for digging oil wells, has a
grievance against Police officer Black
burn, and has filed suit to recover SIC, 900
and costs.
Fish claims that on October I'd he was
arrested by the defendant officer at 4O5
Los Angeles street and was packed
into the patrol wagon with a
number of others and driven to
the city prison. AT police headquarters
he was detained one hour and then re-
leased. 1t is now alleged by the plaintiff
that by reason of his arrest and deten-
ton, and being exposed as common
criminal to the ridicule, contempt and
jeers of the people on the streets, he has
been hurt and distressed mentally, hu-
inflated and degraded and injured in his
business credit
For this series of alleged wrongs Fish
requires satisfaction and that, too, set
tied on handsome monetary basis.

AN ATTORNEY ARRESTED
For Passing a Bogus Check on an
Azusa Saloon Keeper

Deputy Sheriff Dave Mcclure left for
San Bernardino last evening to bring
back Attorney w. D. Haffbill, who was
arrested at that point on the charge Of
having passed fictitious check.
Attorney Haffbill was associated with
Attorney Shinn in the defense of Hen
shaw and Graham, who were tried and
acquitted in Judge Clark's department
for having gone into Chinese camp
near Azusa and robbed the Celestials
of $400. During the Skirmishing around
for evidence at Azusa Haffbill visited
old man Crawford's saloon, the focus Of
all the gossip of the neighborhood, and
where he was likely to gain all the infor-
nation he wanted. While there he had
a check cashed by Crawford which, it
afterwards developed, was bogus, mas
much as the bank upon which it was
drawn had no existence in fact.
The detailed facts have not transpired
only the fac. of the arrest being tele-
phoned from San Bernardino.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
DR.. Dorothea Moore Tells of "What
to Do"

The usual large membership was pres
ent yesterday at the meeting of the Fri
day Morning club when DR.. Dorot he a
Moore read thoughtful paper on what
to Do" The president of the club, Mrs.
]. F. Sortori presided. Every seat in
the large auditorium was occupied, and
the speaker was followed with close at
tention throughout.
The doctor gave a brief summary of
the gospel of living from the early times
when the first men and women engaged
simply in the baldest struggle for food
and on Down through the ages with
their rapidly changing and ever in
creasirg complications, to the present
with its illimitable striving of man with
himself ard with his fellow man, its
countless obstacles against simplicity
which rise on every hand; its demoraliz-
ing unrest and feverish activity; its
mad chase for self aggrandizement. in
which man not only crowds out ard OBJ
literates all his finer qualities, but over
rides and tramples upon his weaker
fellow man.
In illustration of her point DR.. Moore
spoke al length of the doctrine and prac-
tice of Count Tolstoi his books and his
life; she showed that the doctrine of
Tolstoi, simply taken, is that of St.
Matthew, that the time has passed for
killing one another and it is time to love
one another. The leading of a simple
life, taking no thought for the morrow,
resisting not, laying up your treasures
in heaven-these are the essential feat
ures of Tolstois doctrine.
AT the close of her paper, DIR. Moore
appealed to the women of the Friday
Morning club to exert their influence
upon their husbands, brothers and sons
to set up barriers against the ircroach-
ing and insidious evils of metropolitan
life, and live good, clean and simple
lives themselves contributing their
share to the great power for good that
such living would engender.
Following the paper was the usual

TO BE OPENED IN JANUARY
Permanent Exhibit of Home Products.
Interior Arrangements

Arrangements for the establishment
in the Crystal Palace building of the
permanent exhibit of home products as
sumed definite shape yesterday after
noon, when the executive committee
met at the rooms of the Merchants and
Manufacturers Association to formula te
plans for the interior of the building and
the arrangement of the exhibit.
1t has been decided to have a formal
opening of the building Jan. 2, 1898. In
the afternoon of the opening day an in
dustrial parade will be held, in
which all manufacturers and ex-
hibitors will be asked to par
ticipate. In the evening a reception will
be given to the members of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Association
and their friends The railroad COM
panies will be asked to run excursion
trains from all surrounding towns, and
the wholesale and jobbing houses inter-
ested in the exhibit, will extend invita-
tions to all dealers in outside towns to
come in and assist at the opening of an
enterprise in which they are necessarily
much interested.
The interior of the building is to be
made as artistic and attractive as possi
BILE. The main entrance will be replaced
by large arch, and the booths on either
side, forty in number, will be enclosed
by arches and low railings, giving an un-
Interrupted view of the whole length of
the hall. The entrance will be eighteen
feet wide, and profusely decorated with
plants and ferns. The main aisles are
to be ten feet in width, with a central
space in which will be room for four
teen booths. In the center of the hall
is to be a fountain, raised on a concrete
foundation ten feet from the floor with
two basins. Plants and ferns will dec
crate these basins, and seats will be plac-
ed around its base. The hall is to be
lighted with four arc lights and two in
candesent burners will be placed in each
booth.
On the north side Of the building will
be the directors ROOM secretary's room.
and ladies' reception room. There is
to be stairway built at the Los Angeles
street entrance, opening into a Mer-
chants Exchange and Assembly room,
50x50 feet.
In connection with the plans for the
home products exhibit, it has been dis
covered that a sheet entitled, Home
Products Exhibitor, Herald of the Home
Products Permanent Exhibit" is being
circulated among the manufacturers
and dealers of the city. This paper is
entirely unauthorized by the committee;
the Merchants and Manufacturers As
sociation has nothing to do with it, and
the comttee will not be allowed to dis
tributed in the exhibit hall.

night. A few minutes before o'clock
Colonel Berry, the commanding officer.
received a telegram, dated Arlington,
Cal, from Captain De L. Darlington. U.
S. A., stating that Captain Darlington
would inspect the Los Angeles COM
panies at $3.50 in the evening. There was
no time for preparation, and the move
ment was lentirely unexpected. The
members Of the companies were scat
tered far and wide over the city, but
at the appointed hour over a hundred
men had assembled at the armory. The
companies were first Inspected by their
officers. A battalion was then formed on
Seventh street, between Spring and
Broadway, with Major Weller COM
manding. AS soon as the battalion was
formed it was inspected by Captain
Darlington, and after short drill the
men were dismissed.
The turnout was total surprise, and
was more for the purpose. of seeing how
many men could be assembled in short
space of time than for inspection.
