: The Pacific Steam Whaling Company
and the Alaska Packers Association are
both fighting for the best fishermen. So
far the advantage is with the latter con-

each king salmon caught. The Company
pays 20 men (the crew. on each vessel $40

MAY GO TO JAIL,

Mrs. Magd e1ina Wittemeier Sentenced
by Judge Coffey for Contempt.
Mrs. Magdelina Wittemeier was sem
fenced to Jail by Judge Coffey yesterday
for contempt of court until she consents to
comply with an order to pay $500 to At
torney j. c. Hughes.
The money was found to be due on ac-
count of services performed by the lawyer
in the estate of ]. G. Wittemeier, deceased,
of which Mrs. Wittemeier is executrix.
Mr. Hughes wanted his money and the
executrix refused to pay, although the
court had ad Judged it to be due.
Attorney NJ. G. Hassett made an argu-
ment before Judge Coffey urging that
there were other legal complications that
ought to be taken into consideration, but
Attorney Benjamin contended that the
lady's defiance of the courts order was
not based on bona-tide difference of
opinion
This view was accepted by Judge Coffey
and Mrs. Wittemeier was remanded to the
custody of the Sheriff, but subsequently
released on her own recognizance until
next Friday at noon, in order to allow
time for appealing TO the Supreme Court
Tor writ Of habeas corpus.

volved in this action is only $40, 344 45 but
if Mrs Stanford should win her case in the
Supreme Court the City treasury would
be deprived OF something like $500. 900
annually in taxes on personal property
owned by the Stanford estate, the Fair
estate and other estates of similar mag
nitude.
All the corporation Lawyers OF the State,
and they are numerous, powerful, intelli-
gent and resourcefu, will join forces to
defeat and overturn this decision.
Plaintiff brings this action to recover the
sum of $40, 344 45 taxes, assessed against
personal property of the estate of Leland
Stanford deceased, for the fiscal year
1S94-95, which sum plaintiff paid under
protest. The personal property consists
of stocks and bonds OF foreign corpora
tions not doing business in this State,
some of the certificates of which were on
the tax day in the possession of plaintiff
in San Francisco and some were neither
in San Francisco on the day of the death
of Leland Stanford, nor on the tax day,
nor since, but were and are held outside
of the State of California as collateral
security ior the payment OF loans.
The issue presented to the court is upon
the demurrer of defendant that the com
plant does not state facts suffi ficient to
constitute q cause OF action.
As against the demurrer plaintiff con-
tends that to tax the stocks and bonds of
foreign corporations the tangible property
of which is and is taxed outside of this
State, would be double taxation under
section 1908 of the Political Code, enacted
March 7, 1884, whether the certificates of
the same were or were not in California
on the frs. Monday in March, 1894. In
his decision Judge Hebbard says:
The case of San Francisco vs. Fry. SO Cal.
47O, determines absolutely this question In
that case. which our Supreme Court decided in
June, 1883, it was distinctly held that shares
of stock in corporation, the tangible property
of which is situated in ano ther State and sub.
ject to taxation under the laws thereof, such
snares being owned by resident of this State.

Sam Pinkerton of the Scotch team
leaped like an enraged tiger from his posi-
tion on the cleats and dashed at Anchor
man Atkinson, who received a couple Of
good stiff punches in the face. &,
Excitement was now at fever heat. Po-
lice men ran to the rescue of Atkinson,
and they had their hand full in the en-
deavor to subdue the infuriated Pinker-
ton, who was full of ginger and fight.
The last-named athlete accused Atkin-
son of having sold the team out to some
gam blers, and he was backed up in his
opinion by other mem bers of the team.
After the battle was over and the pullers
retired to their dressing-rooms there was
loud talking and threats among the con-
testants until some Of the belligerents
were escorted by the officers from the
building. AS. the pull was in progress the
betting grew stronger in favor. of the
Frenchmen.

contest was about to take place that the
referee had investigated the cause of the

misunderstanding between Atkinson and

States team and the Italian team, and the
Americans won. a good victory. Time,

Lemons are of untold good as health
preservers. The way to get the better
of bilious system without blue pills
or quinine is to take the juice of two
or three lemons in just enough water
to make it pleasant to drink without
sugar before going to bed. In the
morning, before breakfast, repeat the
dose. Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known; it not only
cures the disease, but prevents it.
Sailors make daily use of it for this
purpose. Aphysician suggests rubbing
of the gums daily with lemon juice to
keep them in health. The hands and
nails are also kept clean, white, soft,
and supple by daily use of lemon in
stead of soap. 1t also prevents
chilblains. Lemon used in intermit-
tent fever is mixed with strong, hot,
black tea or coffee, without sugar.
Neuralgia may be cured by rubbing
the part affected with lemon. In fact
its uses are manifold, and the more we
apply it externally the better we shall
find ourselves.

ment contemplated by the st. Louis
platform is an agreement with "the
leading commercial nations of the
world" The foremost of the COM
mercial nations is Great Britain. A
conference that didn't include Great
Britain would be worse than futile
it would be ridiculous. An interna-
tional coinage agreement without
Great Britain's signature would have
no value and should have no attrac-
ton for the United States of America.
1t is to be hoped, whatever else hap

also the coming Republican President
and his cabinet advisers, will keep
these self-evident truths clearly and
constantly in mind.

GOVERNOR ROGERS.
Seattle Review.

The people of this State are getting
acquainted with Governor Rogers and
as that acquaintance ripens, it estab-
fishes the belief that the State has
made a wise choice between the two
candidates. Mr.. Rogers is every day
gaining in popular confidence and
esteem and we doubt not that he will
give the people a model administers
ton.
The State of Washington has suf.
fered from corrupt rule during the
past four years and if the new Cover.
nor can have his way, We will for the
next term have an object lesson in the
shape of honest administration of oul
State affairs.
Governor Rogers desires that some
legislation shall be had prescribing a
severe penalty for attempting to cor
rupt legislative members, before the
election of a Senator takes place, and
his suggestion is good one. Th,
Senatorial elections in not only this
but many other States are q shame
and disgrace to our boosted civilization
and it is to be hoped that Governo
Rogers will be successful in this mucl
needed reform.
What the people now need is (
strong public sentiment to back w
Mr.. Rogers. The voters and tax-pay
ers are too lax in these mrtters.
Mr.. Rogers maintains his pledges, HI
should receive encouragement from
the people he serves. He has prom
ised reform and if he gives it, will the
people appreciate his work? TIM
will tell.

what was the matter. The sphere
had now been left on the bottom
nine hours, and an equal length of
time elapsed before it could be lifted
to the surface. When it was opened
the inventor was half asphyxiated and
his friends were unconscious, but all
have recovered and NJ. Gorzetto is
still exceedingly hopeful as to the
ultimate success of that which he has
planned.
Several years ago Frenchman dis
covered process by which silk can be
made from wood, and in France in
1898 it was finally proved that the
process could be made a commercial
success. Atpresent Besancon, France,
supplies all the artificial silk, and
large works have been established
there to supply the rapidly increasing
demand. The great popularity of the
fabric has induced company to es-
tablish works in Lancashire, near
Manchester, for the manufacture of
the silk yarn from wood pulp. This
yarn is then to be woven into cloth
by the regular looms. The artificial
silk exceeds in lustre the natural,
which is the only difference in ap-
pearance between the two. 1t is said
that it takes the dye more readily
than the natural silk, and affords
more permanent colors. The wood is
first made into pulp, as in the manu-
factute of paper, the fibrous texture
of the wood being completely des-
troyed in the pulping process. The
pulp is then thoroughly cleansed,
after which it has the appearance and
consistency of thick gum. The mass
is placed in cylinders which connect
with pipes studded with metal taps
WHICH terminate in glass tubes with
very minute apertures. The pulp is
forced by pneumatic pressure into the
cylinders, through the pipes and out
of the glass tips, where it exudes in
very small globules, which if touched
by the finger adheres to it and can
be drawn out in very delicate filaments.
These filaments are passed through
the spinning guides and ON to the
bobbins; or, if a large thread is de-
sired, several filaments from as many
tips are passed through the same
guide and on to the same bobbin.
When the bobbins are set rotating
filaments of remarkably uniform size
are drawn from the tips as long as
they are supplied with pulp. The
factory at Besancon employs $4,000
OF these tips, or "glass silkworms," as
they are called. The artificial silk has
not the same chemical composition as
the natural, but its physical proper
ties are so nearly the same that it is
claimed that it will answer all the de-
mands of the cocoon silk.

invested in the railroad or banking
business, or who, in connection with

We cannot blame these men for ac-

Sunny Rooms Make sunny Lives.
Light is one of the most active
agencies in enlivening and beautifying
a home. We all know the value of
sunlight as health-giving agent to
the physical system; it is not less so
to our moral and spiritual natures.
We absorb light, and it nourishes us
with strange powers. We are more
active under its influence, can think
better and work more vigorously.
Let us take the airiest, choicest
room in the house for our living room
the workshop where brain and body
are built up and renewed. And let us
there have a bay-window, no matter
how plain in structure, through which
the good twin angels of nature, sun
light and pure air can freely enter.
We can hang no picture on our walls
that can compare with the living and
everlasting pictures which God shall
paint for us through our ample window
rosy dawns, golden-hearted sunsets,
the tender green and changing tints
of spring, the glow of summer, the
pomp of autumn, the white of winter.
storm and shine, glimmer and gloom
ALL these we can have and enjoy
while we sit in our sheltered room, as
the changing days glide on.
Dark rooms bring depression of
spirits, imparting sense of confine-
ment, of isolation, of powerlessness,
which is chilling to energy and vigor;
but in light is good cheer.
Ever in a gloomy house, where walls
and furniture are dingy and trown,
you have but to take down the heavy
curtains, open wide the windows, let
light stream in and gloom vanishes
and care and sadness flee.
Keep your house sunny, and keep
your soul sunny. Let the Son of
arise ON you with heal
ing in his wings, and you shall find
that eight is sown for the righteous,
and gladness for the upright in heart"
