Growth of English.

The growth of the English language
during the present century has been
without parallel in the history Of any
tongue. The commercial associations of
the English and American people with
all the nations of the earth have brought
contributions from every cline to enrich
our mother tongue, and the result is
that there are words in common use In
the English language from every known
language on the face Of the earth.

eDt OF any private society. The report
goes on to say that the provision in the
franchise of the California Fertilizer
Works, granted by the Board of Super
visors, under which th carcasses of all
animals killed at the Pound during the
| next fifty years were to be destroyed, 'is
unconstitutional, inasmnch as the present
contract for the same purpose, held by the
National Fertilizer Company, has not yet
expired, and we recommend that upon
the expiration of said contract held by the
latter company the Board of Supervisors
advertise for bids for the carcasses of all
animals destroyed at the Public Pound." F"
The committee on dives and social
evils-R. Mohr (chairman) P. 0 Ahern
and o. E. Brady-reported as follows:
Your committee on dives and social evils
respectfully report on this delicate subject as
follows: We find all so-called dives and
houses of 1ll-fame under the strict survei lance
of the police. The only drinks obtainable in
dives consist of wine, beer and mineral water.
No one is allowed 10 sell any liquor of any
kind whatsoever, and in the event of any one
being caught violating this rule he is lnvaria-
bly, fined 500 for each offense. We find no
houses of ill-repute in any of the principal
thoroughfares, the same being located in
small 0ut-of-the-way streets: and inasmuch
the evil is recognized in all sea port cities of
note we recommend that all such places be
confined to certain district, its inmates
licensed and kept under the direct supervision
of the Board q Health as is done in large
cities OF Continental Europe.
The Committee on Public Library-H.
W.Westphal (chairman) E. c. Kalben and

temple of knowledge and found every
thing there above criticism and recon-
mended that the Board Of Supervisors re-
member it generously when fixing the
monetary appropriations, as the commit
tee considers it next in importance to
the public schools"
The said committee reported upon the
Magdalen Asylum and had only words of
praise for its management. The average
numb ber of inmates of the asylum is cited
as twenty, for each of whom the city pays

titled that he had made an inspection OF
the document offered as the last will OF
the deceased and that be believed it to be
for gerry.
In reply to questions propounded by
Attorney George A. knight the witness
occupied the greater part of the day in
explaining his reasons for his conclusion
in the Sc. He said that according to
his analysis the late Mr.. Davis used the
whereas the person who wrote this dis
puted document used the thum b and first
finger; Mr.. Davis held the hollow Of the
pen toward the palm OF his hand and the
writer of the SO. called will held the hol-
low of his pen in an opposite position.
According to the OF 1nlon of Mr.. Eisen-
sch nc mel every person has what he calls
q coordination in the production of m an
uscript, or any other thing that is made
by hand. Mr.. Davis could never disguise
his handwriting; his very life was in his
hand writing, his habits and all his per-
sonal characteristics.
Attorney j. c. Campbell made some
sport of the pretensions of the witness to
be able to read the minds of persons SIM
ply Oy al inspection OF bOelI penmdUSnlp,
and thought that such theories were more
appropriate for mystery novels OF the
Sherlock Holmes type than in court
of justice. He succeeded in shutting out
a lot of the guesses of the witness with re-
gard to the probabilities of the case, and
compelled him TO dhere strictly to a com
parison between writin admitted to Ee
genuine and similar characters that ap-
pear In the disputed document.
Judge Coffey ordered struck from tn g
record all the comments of the witness
wherein he began to account for what he
declared 10 be the "tremor of guilt" The
court remarked that the witness had no
right to make remarks of that character,
and warned him against further infrac-
tions of the rule. He had said he thought
the document to be fraudulent. He had
right to compare the writing of the Will
with the standard writings of the deceased
already admitted in eyidence, but there
his province ended. The exhibits before
the court were sufficient to illustrate the
reasons of the witness for his opinion in
regard to the production of the disputed
paper.
Mr.. Eisenschimmel responded by say.
ing that there is the tremor of old age.
the tremor of sickness, the tremor OF illit-
eracy and the tremor OF fraud. He had
m ade an examination and found that the
