ONE WORD wORTH A MILLION
1t Is for the Courts to Say Whom the Word
Belongs To.

San Francisco, March 9.-The owner
ship of million dollars worth of land
in California depends upon the legal
construction Of word And very sim
pie word 1t is-the little familiar
brought
But a legal battle came on in the
United States circuit court before Judge
Morrow over the meaning of that word
as it is used in act of congress approved
on March 3, 1891.
The act provides that no suit shall
De brought by the United States to
vacate or annul any patent to public
lands issued before the date mentioned,
within five years from the passage of
the act This period of limitation" as
the lawyers style it, expired on the
3-d Of March last. Consequently, it APP
pears that all patents to public lands is
suei before March 3, 1891, became abso-
lutte and irrevocable on March 3, 1896,
unless previously attacked by suit
brought as the law requires.
The case In which the point has been
raised is that OF the United States
against the American Lumber company
u AUlNdSC, tAic SciltLdl lIuSI N'AH-
pany of New York II is a suit in which
The government seeks to have cancelled,
upon the ground OF fraud and conspi-
racy, more than 160 different patents to
redwood timber lands in California, sit
uated in Humboldt and Mendocino
counties. The American Lumber COM
pany holds the patents 10 these lands,
which embrace no less than 1900 acres
and their value has been estimated as
in the neigh borhood Of a million dol
lars. The Central Trust company is
sued mortgage bonds on the security OF
tue lands to the amount of $500, coo.
The bill OF complaint was filed in the
circuit court here on the Sd day OF Feb
Iuary. 1895. That was just month be-
fore the statutory period OF limitation
expired. after which the government
could not Institute suit. The question
to DE decided is: Was the suit brought
when TIE bill was filed?"
The matter was argued before Judge
Morrow yesterday. and submitted upon
briefs. II is said TO be the first case in
voiving the question OF when a suit is
brought" III connection with United
States land patents and the limitation OF
five years thereon. The decision will
mus afford an important precend1t for
both courts ana lawyers.

steamer on his return. 1t may be his first
visit to Europe. He may know London,
Rome and Paris only from views of them
In old prints, but IL he has an eye for
such things his first glimpse of st. Paul's,
st. Peters or Notre Dame will tell him to
what place he Is coming, for all the world

One of the MItch governors of New

Francis Wilson and Lulu Glaser.

Olga Nethersole's famous Carmen"
kiss has been thrown into the shade. 1t
was a mako believe sort of osculatory exer-
else at best and proved nine days won
der. Now Lulu G!aser comes forward as
competitor in the kissing line, with Fran
els Wilson as the kissee. The comedian
visited Miss Glaser at her home, near
Pittsburg, the other day, and reports from
there say that "Miss Glaser did not hesi-
tate to salute him In the regulation comic
opera style by giving him resounding
kiss on the mouth" There was no acting
In that embrace, so 1t should take preced-
ence over the Carmen" episode.
1t is accepted as fact that the principal
reason for Wilson's visit to Miss Glaser Is
due to the reports that she Is to replace
Della Fox In the triple star alliance next
season. Miss Glaser came into public no
tice through Wilson'S Half King, prior
to tho production Of which she had scarce
ly been heard Of How she could pose as
one OF trio of stars Is beyond ordinary
