PERSONAL AND PECULIAR.

Mr.. William Norr, who died in New
York was about thirty three years old,
and for years had been in charge of the
baseball department of the World. Though
best known in connection with the
national pastime, he was a writer of YER
satility and merit. He was an acknowl-
edged authority on athletics, and a gen
eral sporting writer of ability. His en-

individuality thad added much to its

The controversy about clause % of the
Dingley tariff law proceeds, but the
public is getting little real light on the
subject. Senator Chandler intimated that
the American Steamship Association had
some connection with it, but Senator
Eye denies this. How tho amendment
was secured he confesses, however, that
he does not know, though be is quite sure
that there was no Legislative trick as
Senator Chandler alleged. Meanwhile
the opinion of the Attorney General
which was set down to be given week
ago hangs fire, and we do not yet know
how much or how little mischief there
may be to clause %. 1t may be that it
will prove very innocuous paragraph,
not worth 1.-THE of the controversy that
has sprung up over it.

The legislature of Pennsylvania passed
q law requiring the employer of an, alien
to deduct from the latter's pay three
cents day and turn it into the state
tr ,asury. The court held that the law
was unconstitutional as it denied to
aliens equal protection of the laws in
taking from them property without due

this decision will stand.

TIME NEARLY UP.
The Sugar Beet Proposition Must
be Settled This Week.

Encouraging reports continue to be
received from those who are out Ia
boring in the interest of sugar beet cul-
ture, and while the acreage thus far
listed is far short of the 10000 acres
required by the Oxnards, the Cham
Der of Commerce is hopeful that the re-
turns viii by the end of the week be so
near that figure that the enterprise
will be inaugurated.
1t is expected that localities north of
here along the Sacramento River and
over in Yolo will respond in such a
way as to bring up the total promised
acreage TO respectable figures. If not,
then this section of the State may lose
the opportunity of a lifetime.
D. A. Lindley, who has been very
successful as a canvasser in this coun-
~, yesterday went over to the Putah
Greek district in Yolo to sound the
farmers there on the proposition. 1t
is not a local or county matter, at all,
but one that affects all of this part of
the Sacramento Valley.
Word was yesterday received from P.
w. Gardner of Isleton to the effect that
he will put in 175 acres to beets, and
he expresses the belief that 800 acres
will be secured in that vicinity. He
states that much of the land down
the river is under rental, that the own
ers cannot determine what crops the
tenants shall plant, otherwise there
would be no difficulty.
The time allowed by the Oxnards in
which to determine the matter will ex-
pire with this week, hence it behooves
all persons interested to do their level
best to secure promises of lands for
beet culture.

A Troublesome Herd.

The slow train is indigenous to all
sections at some stage IN their de-
yelopment, and has at some period or
other in the history of every common
wealth invoked of her helpless citizens
that righteous indignation which, half
smothared, We term impatience. Among
others relating to this apparently in
diSpeasable fixture, they tell good
story down in East Tennessee of ex-
Gov vernon Taylor, at the expense of a
little short line, commonly known as
the Narrow Gauge running up the
Watauga Valley from Johnson City,
Tenn, to the famous Cranberry mines
of North Carolina.
The road having been built almost
exclusively for the transportation of
timber, mineral and building stone, in
stituted instead of a regular passenger
service what is familiarly known as the
mixed train or jerk water about
one-third passenger and two-thirds
freight. The time made by such trains
is necessarily limited, or, speaking
rather in railroad parlance, not limited,
and in consequence the many tourists
who some years ago began to frequent
the springs and other such resorts
along the line indulged, without reserve,
in many quaint and cutting With
cism as they logged along.
Setting out one morning with num-
ber of nervous and impatient passen-
gers aboard, among them Our Bob, -
as the sturdy sons of the mountains in
their pride delighted to call him, they
had not proceeded far when herd of
cattle was discovered on the track a
short distance ahead. The whistle was
blown wildly for a few moments, but
the train being some time in nearing
them, they fed without giving any Sc
rious trouble
This little diversion from the monoto-
nous routine of stops and starts gave
the fretful passengers topic for their
pungant utterances and sarcastic filings
for a few moments, but the novelty
soon died out, and they all, one by one,
lapsed into state of meditative 81
lence. Continuing this for a few miles
for several hours at leasD they were
suddenly aroused by another similar
series Of wild, frantic shrieks from the
engine, giving emphatic and effective
warning to another trespassing herd
The Ex-Governor, who had hitherto
been saying but little now grasped the
humor of the situation, and, with a
merry twinkle in his eyes, he laid aside
the paper he had been perusing and
exclaimed:
well, I'll be hanged if we haven't
overtaken those cattle again. detroit
