TUESDAY. MAY 10. 1897.

NEXT Tuesday the legislature will meet
in extra session to remedy an error dis
covered in one of the constitutional
amendments. Whether any other bust
ness will be transacted is matter of con-
lecture, but there is nothing to prevent
additional legislation if the members are
disposed to introduce it. The general
opinion is that such action should not be
taken, but it might be a beneficial proceed
ing if one of the judiciary amendments
were taken up and passed.

VERY naturally Charles Stokes did not
like the criticism to which he was sub
ject owing to mistake in the measure
ment of a road on which he was the en-
gineer, so he went before the Board of
Freeholders last week and requested the
privilege of making a statement. This
was granted and Mr.. Stokes explained
how the mistake occurred, told that he.
and not someone else, discovered the err
ror and called attention to it, and ex-
pressed perfect willingness to make all
pecuniary remuneration called for by the
resolution of the previous week. Thus
far Mr.. Stokes was all right, but when he
denounced the newspapers for defaming
and misrepresenting him he made a mis-
take. So far as we have seen, no paper
published any thing that was not in &C
cord with the proceedings of the Board,
which were public and are a matter of
record. This paper did not mention Mr..
Stokes name in any place, nor was there
single line insinuating that there was
Intentional error. We said the case was
the result "of incompetency or careless
ness" Those remarks apply as we'll to-
day as they did then. Mr.. Stokes ac-
knowledges that the man who handled
the chain did not measure correctly.
That's all there is of it. AS before re
marked Mr.. Stokes has no cause for com.
plant against the papers. The man who
gave the Board information on which the
resolution was adopted is the person the
aggrieved engineer should look after.
For some reason not made public the
Board of Freeholders still ignores the Law
which requires the appointment of g
county supervisor of roads, Some of the

be an additional expense without cores
ponding benefit. They say supervisor
would merely examine and then order 9

sidered necessary. The Board could regu
late this. The law requiring the appoint
ment says the Board shall fix salary, but
is silent on the duties of the Office Lei
the board decide upon fair compensa

what is to be done, but let him superin
tend the work, putting into his hand:

to. 1t is wonderful how some laws are
honored with rapidity that takes one:
breath, while others are calmly ignored

1t will be well for the members to remem

on one point-it gives any person the
right to SECURE mandamus compelling
observance of its provisions. In thi.
matter of supervision, THE News desire,

AFTER THE CHINAMEN
More Gambling Dens Raided Last

series of raids against the Chinese lot
teries and gambling joints last night.
Five Celestials in all were arrested. They
were Jew Ting, All Lucy, All Juck

Cinnamon are property holders and own
the premises in which lottery drawings
are held.
The raids were made upon the failure
Of the Mongoliane to observe the notice
which was served upon them a short
time ago warning them to close the
places. The work was done by Sergeant
Jeffriee and Officers Sparks and Fowler
The Cinnamon were on the lookout and
were apprised of the arrival of the Off
GERS almost as soon as they reached
Chinatown. Warrants had been sworn
out for the Cinnamon and the officers at
once went to their places of business,
several of which they found tightly
closed. When repeated knocking failed
to obtain an answer the doors were
broken down. AS soon as the police
men got inside there was wild scurry-
ing of the inmates in every direction to
get out of sight.

lice station, to be used as evidence at the

ToKAY GRAPES
Northern Vineyards Will Yield Very
Small Crops

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 3.-From various
localities in the country come reports TO
the effect that the Tokay grape crop will
be failure. In some sections the loss
will reach rs per cent, while in others
it will range from 40 to so per cent. The
ripenng fruit has suffered from the heat
of the past several days, the sun parch
ing and shriveling the on the vine.
1t is reported on reliable authority tha;
colony will be fully 40 per cent less than
the average.
In the vicinity of Florin, where the
growth and cultivation of the Tokay is
quite an industry, the loss this year will
reach 75 per cent.
Other sections report practically the
same conditions respecting the Nokay
grape crop.
A well informed fruit grower states
that in his opinion there will be less than
half crop in the county this year, and
added htat the growers realize that this
condition of affairs would enhance the
value of this particular fruit, as Sacra-
mento county is one of its heaviest pro-
ducers. The growers are determined to
avail themselves of the opportunity and
Will not dispose of what remains of thei :
crop at the first offer made, but will hold
out for at least a fair price for their
garpes This being the case the growers
may, in the advanced price, retrieve the
losses sustain ed to the crop.

GREEKS ABHoRRED SUICIDE
Not Common Among Them Until
After Roman Influence

Among the early Greeks suicide was
uncommon until they became contami-
mated by Roman influence Their relig
ious teachings. unlike that of their Ash
attic contemporaries, was strongly op-
posed to self-destruction While pure
and manly nation, they regarded it as a
heinous crime, and laws existed which
heaped indignities upon the body Of the
suicide. By an Athenian law the corpse
was not buried until after sunset, and
the hand which had done the deed-pre-
sumably the right hand-was cut off and
buried separately, as having been a
traitor to its owner.
The only suicides ever spoken of with
respect, or anything approaching COM
mendation, by the early Greeks were
those of purely patriotic character, like
those of Themistocles and King Codrus
both of whom were considered patriots
The latter when the Heraclidae invaded
Attica, went down disguised among the;
enemy with the intention of getting slain,
and having picked a quarrel with some
soldiers succeeded in his object. The
reason for this act was that the oracle
had announced that the leader of the
conquering army must fall, and the king
sacrificed his life in order that his troops
might be victorious and his country
saved. Themistocles is said to have COM
mitted suicide rather than lead the Fer
slams against his own people.-Lippin-
colts Magazine.

The Old Confederate's Patriotism

1t was pity that all the Logan day sight
seers were not in the neighborhood of
Adams and State street when the parade
passed. There an example was set that
every American might well follow-even as
the half thousand people who did see it
followed 1t. On the corner of the curbing
by Berry's stood a white-haired man,
dressed in the free but dressy looking frock
coat of the south, with the soft felt hat of
the same region covering his thick cluster
ing hair. Back of him there pressed sew
eral hundred people AS the first marchers
u. S. Grant post of the G. A. R-came op-
posite, the flag in the center of the line, the
old man barred his head. No one noticed
it. AS the second flag in the long line of
Grand Army posts passed the soft hat was
again lifted in reverence. Again it was
unnoticed. But as flag after flag passed
and the old man paid each one homage
the crowd began to take note. A boy in
gray from one of the military schools in
Wisconsin took the cue and lifted his cap
In salute of the colors. A rough laborer
from the drainage canal was the third to
follow the leaders example, and after that
recruits became numerous. Just before the
United States cavalry reached the corner
two men wormed their way to the corner
and looked closely at the old man. They
saw in his lapel the starred badge of the
Association of Confederate Veterans. And
they too barred their heads before the flag.
One of them who looked closely saw on the
old mans vest the badge of the West Point
class of Al. 1t is in that school that men
are taught to take off their hats to the flag
whenever 1t is carried in ceremony. The
two men Joined in the silent demonstration
and they were the last. The entire crowd
lifted hats to every flag after that-and be-
came the best sight in all Chicago all that
day.-Chicago Chronicle.

NOT A PASTURE
Stock Can't Craze in the Yosemite
National Park

WAWONA, Cal, Aug. 3.-The secre-
tary of the interior has announced that
the order opening the forestry reserva-
tons for the admittance of stock to
craze on them does not apply to the Yo-
semitic national park. Therefore no
stock will be allowed to enter the Yo-
semitic.
Lieut.. Benson has just returned from
the northern boundary, of the park
where he captured three herders and one
band of sheep which were scattered and
the herders brought to Camp Wood,
where they were examined by Captain
Rodgers and excluded with their dogs
and packs from the park The snow has
almost all disappeared from the high
Sierras so that the park can now be
entirely patrolled.
The large fire in the northwestern part
of the park which has been raging is
now considered under control by the
troops which have been fighting it for
the past week A great deal of dissatis-
faction is caused by the new rule in
Yosemite valley, by which all liquor
selling is prohibited in the valley.

ness had to be developed the train ser
vice was much on the order of the GO
as-you-please. There were two trains,
and each made one round trip a day, the
road being about sixty miles long. The
officers gave orders to the trainmen to
make them go out of their way to patron
ize the new road. The trainmen took
an advantage of this order at every op-
portunity
There was no telegraph or telephone
stations on the road. and when the
trains left the terminal stations the
conductor was master of the situation
until he got back again, or arrived a the
other terminus. They say that the su
perintendent of the road had the hardi-
hood to ride over the road one day, and
that he hired a horse and buggy and
rode back to York, as he was in hurry.
ACCOMMODATING TRAIN CREW
THE train that puts up at Peach
Bottom for the night leaves York about
2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it is op-
tional with the trainmen as to the time
they arrive home. One of the trainmen
on the road told some time time ago
that on one of the trips down they picked
up drunken farmer who had stretched
out OH the lTach lOT d quiet
sleep. The conductor chanced to know
him, and held the train While the brake
man and bagga gemaster carried' him to
his home, nearly a mile away. In
about an hour the two men returned
With an invitation from the farmers
wife for the crew and passengers to
come over to supper.
There were only three passengers,
and they quickly accepted the invitation.
OF course the crew went and after the
repast an old negro with cracked fiddle
was brought in and a dance was inaugu-
rated The conductor then wanted to
proceed, but the engineer had become
sweet on the farmers daughter, and
persuaded him to dance few more
rounds.
That road is now owned by Baltimore
people, and is broad-gauged and the
the train service is almost first-class. l
might add that it was a common thing
for the trainmen in the earlier days of
the road to take large tin pals along
and stop the train at a good locality ami
fill them with blackberries before pro-
ceeding. But that only occasioned an
hours delay, and was little thought Of

dation' road, eh?"-St. Louis Globe

without saying" remarked society
woman recently, 'tbut 1 never realized
how differently the lives, habits and oc-
cupationS of the rich of our own differ
from those of nous outres,' who are only
moderately well off, until the other day
at sort of drawing-room debating club
that we started this winter the various
methods of transit were under discus
sion, when Mrs. Midas, who was my
neighbor, said to me:
Il cannot speak from experience in
any of the matter. for I have never been
in public conveyance in my life, except
of course the railroads.
Do you mean to say I exclaimed,
for I could not realize that woman so
years old, living in New York all her
days, could, whatever might be her con-
ditdon, really live SO apart from the
great mass of her fellow creatures,
that you have never been in an om-
nibus or street carp
Never she answered.
But the elevated railroads. I per-

to go long distance?'

astonished. Surely you do not climb

mo wonder that these people feel as
if they were made of different clay from
the rest of humanity! No aristocrat in
Europe could hold herself more proudly
aloof from the hoi polloi than do such
women who by the power of money and
the money alone are thus alienated
from their kind. Such class distinctions
between those who have and those who
have not, based upon nothing but sordid
considerations, are undoubtedly widen

poor in this country"
