Mayor Phelan at the last regular meet
ing of the Board Of Supervisors spoke in
opposition 20 the proposition made for an
assistant to District Attorney Barnes. He
stated some of his reasons for his opposi-
ton. He has now epared letter set
ting forth his views more fully, which is
as follows:
1t is proposed to elect a Deputy District
Attorney at salary Of $3.50 a month. and
desire to communicate certain infor IN alton
upon this subject for your guidance. First,
under act of March 2, 1891, the District Attor-
ney has power TO appoint three depu ties a
chief clerk and two assistant clerks, which
compose his statutory staff, and which be-
leve TO be sufficient for the proper conduct of
his Office. In August, 1895 the District Attor-
ney asked the Board OF Supervisors for an as
sistant in the prosecution of Grimm al cases,
because of the Durrant trial, and W. s. Uinkle
was appointed. Since then the board has
passed seven resolutions extending the en-
ployment of Mr.. Hinkie, generally for three or
four months at time. The last resolu ton
was adopted January 2, 1897, permitting him
to retain his position until February /, 1897,
when his employment ceased.
The Board of Supervisors. in giving addi-
tional assistance to the District Attorney, is
supposed to be acting under the law of May l,
1861. which confers power upon the Board of
Supervisors 'to allow and order paid out of
the general fund not to exceed the sum of
SOOOU III any Ole uSChi year the employ
ment OF special counsel" The object of this
act was to enable the Board of Supervisors to
employ special counsel in civil cases where
the interests of the City demanded such en-
ployment, and that has been the practice up
to the time of the request made by the District
Attorney. VINO asked that counsel be allowed
for the prosecution of criminal cases.
For the fiscal year ending June next the
following sums have already been paid out
and contracted for, which YOU Will see ex-
hausts the appropriation of $4,000:

LECTURES ON BUDDHISM.
Rev. Mr. DharmapaIa, the Buddhist
Monk, Speaks to Large
Audiences.

Rev. H. DharmapaIa, the Buddhist
monk, delivered a lecture Stiles Hall,
in Berkeley, at the invitation OF the Uni
tartan congregation, Friday evening" his
subject being ''The Reconciliation Be-
tween Christianity and Buddhism" He
gave brief and very lucid exposition OF
Buddhism, showing the points of resem-
blance between the two religious. particu-
larly in the ethical teachings. He said he
thought that many OF the Buddhistic ten
cts were specially adapted for the Oriental
people and their nature, and that the true
work Of missionaries would be to try and
amalgamate Buddhism and Christianity
on the basis of universal brotherhood.
The lecture was listened to with great at
tention by large audience.
Last night Rev. Mr. Dharmapala lee
tured in San Jose for the Unitarians, and
tonight he will give his second lecture in
Native Sons Hall at o'clock, the subject
being "Budd histjc and Brahmlnical Tran
scendentai Science"

A little sarsaparilla flavor a little
smell of sarsaparilla, and a sarsa-
parilla label on the bottle, don't
make sarsaparilla that cures,
though it does make sarsaparilla
that sells-to those who know no
better. Ayers Sarsaparilla is the
sarsaparilla that cures. One bottle
Of Ayers is estimated, by those who
have tried all kinds, to do the work
of from three to six bottles of any
other kind. 1t is the most eco
|nomical sarsaparilla therefore, on
the market because it cures quicker
and at less expense. The ordinary
sarsaparilla is like the old lady's
weak tea-it's tea all right, but you
have to drink half a dozen cups to
get the flavor of it. Other sarsapa-
rillas, may by courtesy, be called
sarsaparilla, but it takes too many
bottles to get any result. One Of
the reasons for the superiority in

The annual meeting of the Mechanics

There's nothing new to be said

from Riley's verse about sums up
the variableness Of the three months

fretful April, that bats you with a
sunbeam, to wet you with shower;
May, playing the coquette, hover

way of spring sensations. There's

it's forms, is the sport in which
laurels and rewards are to be
won. Everybody knows the value

opinion Of the public by demonstra-
tion Of its value In sickness and
disease. It still continues to hold
the esteem Of the world atlarge. But
success brings limitations. Others
have manufactured sarsaparillas
whose highest boast Is to be as
good as Ayers. So that from time
to time these facts have to be re-
stated -
Ayers Sarsaparilla is the original

One of those ridiculous situations
which at the time brought the coolest
sweat out on a mans bTows, and ever
after remain with him as constant
source of mirth, occurred to a Shelton
merchant a few days ago. He thought
he would take bath, and as his fiat is

the job-a bathtub-he extemporized
one out of small washtub and enjoy
ed cooling ablution. lie had just
concluded and stepped from the tub
for the towel, when suddenly the top
hoop Of tho tub burst with Q sharp re-
port, and the man saw to his horror
that the whole contents of the tub
would soon be flooding the floor. At
the same moment he thought of the
store beneath and the amount of dam
age the water would do as it ran down
through the ceiling. He is a man of
quick thought, and in a moment he
did the only thing possible, threw him.
self down beside the tub and, clasping
his arms around it, held the already
fast swelling slaves together. He was
successful in keeping the water in
but what situation. He dared not
yell, for he was hardly in a condition
to receive callers, especially as he knew
that all in the block at the time were
of the gentler sex, and he realized at
once the only thing left for him was to
stay in that position until the return of
his wife, who was on a shopping ex-
petition. Like the boy who saved
Holland, he manfully remained in his
most uncomfortable position until re
lief in the shape of his wife appeared.
Then to cap the climax, when he asked
her to get rope or any old thing to tie
about the tub, she after long fit of
uncomfortable laughter, asked him
why he didn't carry tub and contents
out to the sink room and pour out the
water. With look that froze the
smile on her face he did as she said,
