MR.. PARIS DoNKEYs, AND ETC.

j. ID. Paris, whose letter APP
pears in another column, sings I
song of triumph over the Minis
ter of Public instruction. Will,
school agent for South Kona, he
also, became agent for the Gov
eminent, in the taking of the last
census. The Board of Education
acting for the Government, re
quired Mr.. Paris, as an individual
to make return, among other
things, of the number of donkeys
and goats, which he owned. Mr.
Paris, refused, on the ground that
"a complete census of the inha.
bitants," as required by law, did
not include goats, donkeys, etc.
Mr.. Cooper, as Minister of Public
instruction, at once turned Mr..
Paris out of his Office as school
agent, on the grounG that his con
duct was Sin contempt of the De
partment, and in violation of the
law" Mr.. Paris was then pro
secuted, was convicted, and on
appeal, the Supreme Court re
versed the judgment, and yindi-
Gated him In taking some legal
shots, Mr.. Paris made better
bullseyes than the Department of
Public instruction. The Supreme
Court has decided that donkeys.
goats. etc. are not inhabitants.
Mr.. Paris Interpretation of the
law is sustained and he should be
restored to office, with the usual
hOnOrs, including Il serenade by
Berger's band.
In including donkeys. among
the inhabitants, the Board of
Education was undoubtedly led
astray, by the estimate which
men put on each other, in bust
ness and social intercourse.
Probably every man in town has
been called a donkey by some
other man, who did not agree
with him, and the Board of Edu-
cation, acting on these prevailing
opinions, naturally reversed the
description, and estimated all
d0nkeys as men, and required
that they be enumerated in the
census, as part Of the popula-
ton. This painful error on the
part of the Board of Education,
led Mr.. Paris to turn back on the
Board, with a quick, sharp, pic
turesque Kona donkey kick, and
the Supreme Court has now fin
ally decided that dOnkeys cannot
be classed as inhabitants.
Mr.. Paris is not satisfied with
his victory. He proposes to rub
it into the Government, that has
only made a very common and
natural mistake in miscOnstruing
the law. He points his finger in
a very tragic way, towards the
Minister of Public Instruction,
and shouts, like the hero, in the
play, at the villain, fooled, foiled,
foiledw Mr.. Paris will consider,
that the Government is not half
as bad as it sometimes appears
to be. Moreover, polite top
dog" in fight, does not grOwl,
but wags his tail i'll satisfaction.
Mr.. Paris charges that the
Government employed men, in
the taking of the census, who re-
fused to take the oath, while, he,
a faithful and loyal man, was
treated with donkey tactics, and
kicked out. This action only
Shove how Governments act i'm
perfectly under certain circum-
stances. They may be forced to
such action. This is not very
clear, is it, Mr.. Paris? Never
mind, your consolation is that
you have conquered and chained
to your victorious chariot, the
entire Board of Education. Is
that not enough glory for one
day?

CHASING "JOHN DOE.n
HOW SonOnna Constable Lost
Nearly a Week Man
HuntinO.

The Fish Commissioners are having
a good laugh over the way Deputy
Davis gave country constable a chase
over half of Sonoma County Deputies
Davis and Low were sent to the
Russian River District to see that the
law was not violated, as they heard il
was, by the residents of that section
placing set and other illegal nets in the
river to catch steelheadS Last Mon
day the deputies found some new set
nets In the rlVer-one near Penny's
place and two nearer TO the mouth of
the river. They We're all new, and in a
snort time the nets anchors and ropes
were taken up and sent to Santa Rosa.
Soon after the officials of the com
| mission learned that Penny was on the
Warpath and had gone to GuerneyiIIe.
where he had sworn to several "John
Doe warrants, charging these myth
IcaI persons with petit larceny for
stealing his nets, and search warrants
for the recovery of his property The
Guerneville constable started out with
the documents, and Davis, learning of
this, resolved to have a little fun on
his own hook. He managed to keep
just ahead of the county officer, and
for three days he gave the constable
merry chase over nearly the whole
of the county. Every day or so he
would return to the river to see that
there were no more set nets and
then skip out to some other place.
followed by the constable. When the
fun began to grow stale Deputy Davis
came to this city and told the Commits
sioners of the warrants. In the mean
time, Deputy Lowe was laying low"
on the river banks to keep watch on
the fishers. The Commissioners at
once took the matter up and notified
District Attorney Sewell of Sonoma
County that the warrants were no
doubt, for their men, who are regular
officers, and in taking the nets did so
in the discharge of their duties. Mr.
Sewell at once instructed the Guerne-
vile Justice of the Peace to dismiss the
complaints, which was done, and the
people OF SOnOma County are having
considerable fun with the officer who

MOVING AGAINST THE cUBANS.
Spanish Force Concentrating to Strike One
Formidable Blow.

Copyright. 1897, by James Gordon Bennett.
HAVANA, Dec. 24.-Every indication
is that formidable offensive operations
are now about to be undertaken by the
Spanish forces in all parts of the island.
In Havana province the movement has
for it's primary object the avenging of
the death of Colonel Ruiz by the ami
hilation of the force of Nester Aran-
gueren, which now represents the rebel
military strength in the province. Cen
eral Parade took the field yesterday
accompanied by General Valdarrama
taking with him all the available troops
in the city and vicinity. 1t was re-
marked to-day that hardly a Spanish
officer was to be seen on the streets,
certain indication that sharp work is
contemplated in the field within a few
days.
Columns aggregating 10000 men will
converge in the vicinity of Jaruco, near
where Arrangements band was found by
Consul-General Lees emissaries. 1t is
doubtful whether they will find any
thing more than a sign of camp, as
the intelligence received by the Junta
to-day shows that Arangueren has been
warned of the intended Spanish ad-
vance and has taken precautions.

tiago de Cuba advises me that General

Havana to Banabano yesterday nine

Removed.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 24-For the first
time in the history of surgery a COM
plete eXcision of the stomach of a hu-
man being has been successfully ac-
complished. The patient was Anna
Lands, silk weaver, 56 years old, who
as supposed to be suffering from
cancer. More than three months after
the operation she is to all intents and
purposes well and capable of perform
ing daily work. The operation which
was performed by DR.. Carl Schlatter of
the University of Zurich, Switzerland.
has attracted widespread attention ipa
Europe, where it is hailed as a bril- Z
liant one. 1t is the first step in a neSE
history of surgical triumphs.
Through its representative at Zurich.
DR.. Edmund Charles Wendt of New
York the Medical Record will print
tomorrow not only DR.. Wendt's re-
marks based on a personal study of the
case, but complete description of the
operation, written by DR.. Schlatter
himself.
This astonishing surgical feat, pre-
senung TO the world as it does a
human being whose life was saved by
the elimination of the organ to which
all have hitherto conceded functions
OF paramount Importance, viii aston
ish not only laymen but the surgeons
of this country. DR.. George f.
Schrady, editor of the Medical Record,
will say of this case editorially, among
other things:
Whatever we may venture pro or
con on the question at issue, the fact
appears to be proven that a human
subject can live and be reasonably ac-
tive for months at a time without any
stomach whatever, and obtain all ne
ceSSary digestion and nourishment
from what remains of the intestinal
duct. 1t is possible that the latter NAV
nave new set of functions not vet
understood, or has the Importance of
the stomach digestion been misappre-
hended and overrated? In any event
we are now brought face to face with
a very curious demonstration, which
destroys the validity of many preeon-
celved opinions and in a great measure
nullifes the results of many previous
experiments"
The surprising conclusions which
DR.. Wendt considers justifiable in
view of the operation are expressed so
SIMPLY as to prove instructive to the
average layman. Among them are:
Inc human stomach is not vital or
gan.
The digestive capacity of the human
stomach has been considerably over
rated.
Fluids and solids constituting ordi-
nary mixed diet are capable of COM
plete digestion and assimilation with
out the aid of the human stomach.
A gain in the weight of body may
take place in spite of the total abb
sence of gastric activity
The general health of a person need
not immediatly deteriorate on ac-
count of the removal of the stomach.
The important office of the human
stomach is to act as a reservoir for the
reception, preliminary preparation and
propulsion of food and fluids 1t also
fulfills useful purpose in regulating
the temperature of swallowed solids
and liquids.

MONTEREY, Dec. 24.-The crew of

Whaling Company had a tussle with a
leviathan of the hump backed variety
late this after noon, which came near
resulting seriously for the men and
was the cause of some damage to the
boat Three whales We're sighted in the
early afternoon and the two boats
started in pursuit, but lost two of
them.
The third one they shot, but as the
gun was carelessly aimed the harpoon
struck him in the head over the eye
and becoming infuriated he proceeded
to make things lively. He came up once
under the boat, nearly capsizing it, and
struck it once with his tail. The crew,
however, were experienced whalers
and succeeded in cOnquering their big
prize without receiving any harm
themselves. The whale is about sixty
feet long.

"CalPS" Annual Selection and

These are the football players that,
at the close of the season of 1897, have,
in the judgment of this department of
ticular positions as warrants their Sc
lection for a so-called AlI-California
team, hypothetical eleven made up

ducts of this years coaching and
games.
Such choice is not difficult after an
experience of seven seasons on the
sidelines, with opportunities for closely
observing each of the players in all
the big and many of the smaller games
played in and near this city since in
tercollegiate football was inaugural
ed on the Pacific Coast.
Certain of the men, however, stand
out pre-eminently as superior players,
and those are Carle, Cotton, Hall and
Code. The others were not so evil
IDENTIFY superior to their particular ri
walls, and their selection was deter
mined by more careful analysis of
their playing, with respect to their
immediate opponents, their knowledge
of the game, their assistance, both

work, and their performances in sud

They were also judged by a certain
standard. For that standard was ta-
ken the work presumably of the best
players ever associated with the game
on this Coast:
For center, Williams (Stanford team
Of '95 and '96) for guard, Carle (Stan-
ford team of 80 and So and of '9O
for tackle, Cochran stamford team of
92 and '9S, of '94 and of $50; for end,
Nolan West Point team of '93, of '94,
and of '95, All-America team of 95, and
Olympic team of '96): for quarter, Code
stamford team of '92, of '93, and of '95,
Olympic team of '96, and Reliance
team of 80; for halfbacks, Clemens,
Hall, Walton, Morse, Frankenheimer
and Hunt; for fullback, Ransome (CaI-
