brandy, the balance being composed OF corn
spirits from Nebraska, water, glucose and
other ompounds; and,
WHEREAS, If such bogus compounds are per-
mitted 20 be sent throughout the world and
sold as California brandy, 1T is certain to ruin
not only our brandy industry, but the wine

the adulteration and sophistication OF brandy
or wine in this State

THOSE EXPLOSIVE MATCHES.
Miss McQuaide, the Teacher, Gives He1
Version of the Affair.

Miss McQuaide, the Teacher, Gives Her
Version of the Affair.
Miss Catherine G. McQuaide. the teacher
of the eighth grade in the Washington
Grammar Night School. on Mason and
Washington streets, and Miss Nolan, the
principal, are endeavoring to ascertain
who among the pupils placed the heads
of parlor matches ON the classroom floor
last Thursday. While the offense OF it.
self was not and is not regarded as being
very serious still it was decided breach
OF discipline that it will not o to tolerate.
Miss McQuade's pupils are good-sized
youngsters-in fact, almost men-their
ages being from II to 49, In her eight
years experience as a teacher in that
night school that was the first annoyance
she had ever had. In speaking of the oc-
currence the lady said:
1T was not so very serious. Some of
the boys threw or dropped some ex plosive
parlor matches on the floor and wnen the
heads were stepped upon the matches
made explosions. l had one boy gather
up ali that could be found, and then
questioned the class. but none would ac-
knowledge having com mitted the offense.
There are large number of pupils in the
room who know had nothing to do with
the matches, but there are about fourteen
on the susrected list.
II gave these boys until next Tuesday
to talk the matter over among
themselves, and have the culprit
come forward so as to exonerate
the others who are under suspicion. II

night was "too late day" for her TO play
such part.
Emma Ashley appeared in Kittie

nagh. Miss Ashley yelled her identity
however, under the nom de guerre OF
"Mss Lucille UImer Thorndike," and

them when the massive Miss Ashley
sailed in with a naughty degage walk,
which was meant 70 express pride and

walk-it is as original and surprise-inspir-

az peal to the chappies.
Emma Ashley was letter perfect, though
beyond the naughty walk and the con-
sumption of six cups OF tea she had
not a very arduous role to perform. After
the first act Dorothy Kavanagh drops out
of the play, and in dull patient resigna-
ton the audience settled down to endure
the rest, cheered by the prospect of the
living pictures to come.

dergone change of heart; he was hold ing

KINGS COUNTY WINS.
1t Will Not Have to Pay Any Proper
tion of Tulare's Bonded
nahf

A case of some i'm portance, bearing upon
the relations sustained by the parts OF
divided county to each other, was decided
by the Supreme Court yesterday. 1t IN
volved the controversy between 1ulare
and Kings counties. and the decision OF the
lower court was affirmed.
The action was one brought by TulaIe
County against Kings to enforce claim
for proportion of the bonded debt OF
plaintiff. By an act OF the Legislature OF
1893 Kings County was created out OF Iu-
lare. AT that time there was an lndepteo,
ness of $22 900 in courthouse Donos ana
$4,000 in road bonds.
Tnlare presented a claim for $5O49 6l, as
the proportionate share OF Kings In tnese
bonds. The Supervisors OF the latter re-
fused to audit the demands, whereupon
suit was brought, resulting in favor OF the
new county. The Supreme Court af1rms
this Judgment, remarking that whlie sec
ton OF article XI of the constitution
provides that new county shali pay its
proportionate share of the bonded lndebt-
edness of the old county, 1t does NOT pro-
v.de the machinery for the collection OF
tn at assessment.
The act of 1898 creating Kings County
d ld not provide way to collect the same
nor is the intention OF the Legislature
shown to be that there should be any col
lection levied on Kings County.
The court remarks that the courthouse
Tor which The bonds were issued remains
in Tulare County, and there is no evidence
to show that any money OF the ROAD ponds
was ever spent in Kings County.

RECOMMEND ASPHALT.
Roofers Will Make Fight to Keep the
Fire Ordinance as 1t
Now Is

The amendment to the fire ordinance
proposed by Supervisor Britt and to be
recommended for adoption by the Fire
Department Committee will meet with
sturdy opposition when it comes up before
the board on Monday for passage to print.
The asphaltum roofers of this City claim
that the proposed changes will work a
great hard ship to them and have prepared
petition, signed by many OF the lar est
firms anu corporations of the City, 1or
presen Iation 10 the board.
The petition recites that asphalt COM
position roofs have proved durable and
accepta bic 10 the signers, that they have
not been unacceptable 10 the insurance
companies, and that to place them under
the restrictions proposed will be detri-
mental 10 the public interest
The petitioners protest against the pro-
posed change. and the asphaltum men
will appear before the board on Monday
and make fight for their interests.

Lillian Ashley's Audience

Ennui.
They Listen for Nearly Three
Hours to "a Host of

S m, Livirg Pictures Of What Was
and What May Yet Be in the
Near Future.

The handful of people-principally
men-who went to the Auditorium last
night to see Emma Ashlev's sensational
tableaus paid dearly for the privilege. 1t
was not in coin of the realm that they
paid so much as in three dreary hours OF
waiting for the fair Emma's living pic
lures, during which Carrie Clarke Ward
and a company described on the bills as
"a host of volunteers" waded through
the four acts of "Kittie O'Connor."
When people act as volunteers" 1T is
usual 10 treat their efforts tenderly-" lift
them with care" so to speak-as If they

OURRANI'5 CASE
NEARS THE END
The Colorado Crank Writes
Another Letter to
Mrs. Martin.
Rev. ]. George Gibson Wonders
What Mrs. John Will Say
About Him.
The Prisoner Is Curtailed of Som
Liberties-The Governor Will
Decide by To. Morrow.

Rev. ]. George Gibson and Secretary
Lynch passed quiet day yesterday, issu-
ing no bulletins, admitting no cranks and
reading no anonymous letters. Their
chief worry was, so they said, concerning
the things that may yet be said deroga-
tory to Mr.. Gibson.
Secretary Lynch had heard reports that
Mrs. John Martin intends to lampoon the
pastor in straight Anglo Saxon at her
Metropolitan Temple lecture on Friday
night. He said he hoped that the lady's
language would be temperate, as he de-
sired no trouble, which would certainly
occur should the speaker utter ISLANDERS.
Mrs Martin is busy, on her lecture ior
Friday night and is hopeful that she will
yet save Durrant's lie. She received an
other letter from w. f. Bryan, the Colo.
rado craEk, yesterday. 1t Is dated May
% and runs in part as follows:
Dear Madam: Send me P. o. money order
at once and will be in San Francisco in time
to treat with you and others in this matter.
II you've not confidence to do this much, see
Miss Hester Hicks Miss Henrietta Rigsby,
for cannot get to San Francisco. / am sure
the police will not send for me.
The papers in Denver have put in ten times
more than wrote to you, and this will do the
case no good. The only way that's left is my
presence in San Francisco, and $45 is all that
is required. Please answer at once. Respect
fully, w. F. BRYAN.
P. SIT would be more than useless for me
to make statement to you. They call me
crank here, but they do me wrong.
1t is now the general opinion that
Bryan is either insane or an mpostor.
Mrs. Martin will pay no further attention
to his rawlings.
Theodore Durrant received no visitors
yesterday. He was not allowed the free
dom of the yard, nor will he be exercised
tomorrow. For seventytwo hours con-
tinuously he will be compelled to remain
in his cell. To-day his father will visit
him, and he will then learn that Governor
Budd will do nothing until Monday.
The painters have been at work this
week preparing the death chamber for the
reception of the next visitor, who will be
Durrant, if the Governor does nothing to
prevent.
Durrant's cell is directly under the
tanks where the unruly convicts are quar-
tered, and during the night he is COM
PEELED to listen to their howls and noise.
The Governor has announced that he
will render his decision in the Durrant
and Worden cases at the same time-to-
day or tomorrow. He said yesterday
that be was too tired to pre- pare his sdeci-
sion. He will make a pretty full state
ment of his reasons.
No intimat1on is given as to what the
Governors action will be, but there exists
no doubt in the minds of officials in other
State departments and among those pol
iticians who are closest and who "know,"
or claim to, that he will refuse 10 inter-
fere, and it is thought that the statement
now being prepared is to justify his action
with political friends of the parties who
are fighting to save Durrant's life.
