Result of the Supreme Court Decision
Gives Faucet the MayoraliJy.

Olympia. Wash. June 22-The supreme
court today filed an opinion instructing
the superior court Of Pierce county TO
declare A. V. Faucet duly elected mayor
Of Tacoma. This ends a most interesting
controversy. Fawcett was declared elect
cd first on the count made by the election
officers. The case was carried into the
courts Of Pierce county, where recount
was made and Fawcett ousted from Of
flee and Orr seated. BY the action OF the
supreme court Fawcett will resume the
office. In its opinion the court makes
a liberal construction of the election
law, and declares that no citizen should
be deprived of his vote when his inten-
tion is apparent.

THAT COLLISION.
Steamboat Inspectors Are Making an
Investigation.

The inspectors of steamers began an
investigation in San Francisco on Sat
urday into the collision between the
D. E. Knight and the passenger steam
er Modoc, which occurred on the Sac
ramento River ON December 22d. The
witnesses called were Engineer John
Taggart of the Knight, Captain Fou-
rett and Pilot w. Falkinberg of the
Modoc. The engineer testified that it
was very foggy, and that the Modoc
could not be seen until she ran into the
Knight
Thomas H. Price the master of the
Knight, testified that he was whistling
along the river SO as to warn all boats
OF the approach of the steamer and her
tow. just before he sighted the Modoc
the barge sheered in the current and
pulled his steamer to port out of the
channel. just then the Modoc's lights
We're seen.
He said he was unable to straighten
his boat i'm time. The Modoc struck the
knight No. = ON the Starbodrd side and
pushed her onto the bank, where the
crippled steamer settled. A large hole
Vas cut into ner side, extending below
the water line.
E. S. Fouratt was in charge of the
Modoc at the time. The boat was rum
ming ON a slow ball, as the weather was
fe ggy. When the Knight wss sighted
she was making across the Modoc's
bow. He ordered ttue Modoc to be
stopped and backed, which order was
fulfilled, but the current and momentum
We're too strong and the two boats col
lded
w. Falkinburg, the pilot on the barge

A TALK TO COMMERCIAL men.
special Service at the Congregational
Church.
Kew. Mr.. Hoyt Tells His Hearers
How to Extract the Sweets
of Life.

A special service was held last night
al une Congregational Church at the re-
quest of a number of members of the
commercial Travellers Association and
the Christian Endeavor Society of Oak
land. A large number of commercial
travellers and others attended in re-
sponse to the general invitation which
had been extended
During the service the Monday Night
Orchestra rendered Leybach's Ave
Marie" and the Gloria from Mozart's
Twelfth Mass. The choir sang the
anthem "Jubilate Deo'' and I'm the Be-
ginning Was the Word"
The pastor, Rev. II. n. Hoyt, welcomed
the commercial men to the church and
expressed the hope that they would be
frequent attendants.
The subject of his discourse was Get
ting the Honey Out of Our Own Hives"
He spoke of the scene he had witnessed
in the parks and public places, where
battered hulks of humanity lounged
about listless and hopeless, only occa-
sionally mastering up enough courage
to even light pipe, and asked who was
to blame for the joy having gone out Of
their lives.
He said the taking away of a mans
gladnesS was the worst kind of robbery
and urged his hearers to go out into the
sunshine and enjoy the honey of life.
1t was mans business to put sunshine
into his own life and the lives of those
around him. He had no right to go
around moping and gloomy.
Just as much as men had religion in
their souls, by so much they were sunny
and joyous. Tears and grief would come
and they served a useful purpose. They
were like the pruning-knife of the hus-
bandman, but he was not always prun-
ing, and the pruning process was ne
cessary to keep the tree healthy and
vigorous.
1t was not necessary to a mans en-
jcyment that he should be making too
much money. 1t might be pleasant for
him to have a larger congregation and
an increased salary, and to have his pic
ture in the San Fracisco papers every
now and then, but that would not give
him true enjoyment
1t was the world within that made the
world without. One can never find joy
and happiness unless one has it within
him. The truest enjoyment came not
from taking the sweets alone but from
sharing those sweets with others.
The man, said the speaker, who takes
only for himself may find a pleasant
taste for a time, but he could never en-
joy the true flavor without sharing it
with others. The taste of honey eaten
did not last, but the sweetness of honey
given to others lasted always, and not
until after suffering could one expert
ence complete joy.
They would find their truest, sweetest
best honey when given away for home
for church and for State.

A goodly portion Of the population of
Highland Park occupied seats in Judge
Hughes courtroom yesterday, having
been called to testify in the case of the
people against Mrs. Mary Gomez. who
is charged by Mrs. NJ. Silva, a neighbor,
with assault with a deadly weapon.
Charles T. Jones, special counsel for
the complaining witness, is conducting
the prosecution, and Clayton & New
man appear for the defense
The forenoon was consumed in i'm
paneling the jury, and finally the panel
was filled as follows: 7. P Lowe. l.
Christie, Arthur Webb, Henry Eek
hardt, Andrew Johnson, Austin Abbott,
w. ]. Mitigate, William Foote, Sr., H.

1t was last October that the trouble
occurred between Mrs. Silva and Mrs
Gomez. When the women began to
mix things Mrs. Silva had, it is claimed
some kind of stick in her hand, while
Mrs. Gomez was more effectively armed
with a hatchet with which she had been
working on a fence. The prosecution
claim that Mrs. Gomez struck Mrs. Silva
with the hatchet, knocking her down.
The defendant will, it is supposed. un-
dertake to prove that it was a case of

Dear Sir: Please send me the State

F. w. PUERNER.
There are twelve directors of the
board, a Secretary, a typewriter.
watchman and a janitor, and while
there may be some members of the
board whom the Governor would like
to remove, he is said to be too kind
hearted to want to send them to the
Indictment shores Of Lake Michigan, and
especially its coolest point, Green Bay,
ait least, until the spring opens.
Beside, he will have no appropriation
for the necessary expense availa BILE, and
the present Legislature would be the
last in the world to give him one.
There is suspicion, however, that
what the man really wants is not the
state Board of Agriculture, but a copy
of its report.
