CHARMING SURPRISE.
The Victim Was General Secretary
Ekins of the Y. M. C. A.

very pleasant social surprise took
place last night in the rooms Of the
Young Mems Christian Association, and
the victim was the General Secretary,
Grove F. Ekins.
During Mr.. Ekins absence from the
city last week a number of ladies some
from each church in the city, under
took to secure for the association a
fine lot of dishes, and they succeeded
admirably. Every evangelical church
of the city was represented in the gift,
fact which shows the interdenomina-
tional spirit of the Young Mems Chris
tan Association and the high appreci-
alton in which that organization is held
in Sacramento.
The affair was planned very nicely,
and the programme was as follows:
Prayer, Rev. Daniel Shuck; piano
duet, Misses Brown and Rieder; re-
marks by Rev. Leslie Drake; vocal duet.
Mrs. Forsman and Mrs. F. M. Jones; !;
remarks by Rev. w. c. Sherman: piano
duet, Misses Elsworthy and Beede; re-
marks by Rev. j. NJ. Sturtevant; violin
solo, Miss Parker, accompanied by Miss
Bessie Jackson; remarks by J. ii. Law
renee, President of the association
pldUO SOLO, MISS bellc w
cal solo. Miss May Ormrod piano duet,
Misses Malone and Harris.
DIR. A B. Banks made the presenta-
tion speech, and General Secretary
Ekins responded, thanking the ladies
for their kindly thought in supplying
the needs of the association.
The gift consisted of a bountiful sup
ply of the following articles: Plates,
two Sizes saucers, two sizes; cups,
glasses. sugarbowls, pitchers, platters,
coffee boilers, knives, forks, spoons and
table cloths.
The Purple Membership Club will give
a reception at the association rooms
on Thanksgiving night, and they invite
all the friends of the association to
come and enjoy the evening. A short
programme has been provided, and
the capacity of the new dishes will be
tested

Objection is raised in some quarters
to the Folsom road proposition because
TO get the benefits Of the model road,
interest must be paid on the money
to be borrowed. But while il must
be clear to the intelligence of any man
that money is worth some rental: that
those who have accumulated means will
not lend without some reward it must
be looked at in still another light,
namely. will the use of the proposed
road be worth to the people of this
county the sum OF Si6,0 for twenty
years." In other words, "Win such a
road be worth $500 a year to Sacra-
mento County?" The answer is OBJ
vious. Certainly. because without the
road built, and which is to be State
property and maintained free of cost
TO Sacramento County, the people viii
have &c expend three times that sum

route and without enjoying the bene-
fits OF such a road as the proposed

We congratulate our contemporary
the Stockton Mail" 1t has at last
got around to the right view Of the
law. It now declares, despite it's early
explanatory and denunciatory expires
sion, that it has been convinced by
sound reasoning that the Supreme
Court was right in its recent order in
the Durrant case, and that it could not
have done otherwise than it did, and
have discharged it's duty as given to
it by the statutes. Therefore, our con-
temporary concludes that the only rem
edy for what it holds to be an evil. is
to appeal to the Legislature to modify
the law to such extent that delays of
justice may not be fostered. Our con-
temporary Will observe that that was
practically the stand taken by the
Record Union" from the outset. 1t
has been its position in all these mat
ters in which intemperance of desire
has made the courts the targets for as
sault and denuneiation; namely, IL we
want The courts to rule otherwise than
they do in matters of practice, we
must amend the laws which the people,
not the courts, make.

SHOTGUN INSTRUCTIONS.
A Missouri Judges Unwrittcn Law
Which the JUICY Respected.

A Missouri Judges Unwrittcn Law
Which the JUICY Respected.
Judge Falconer, Of Kentucky, who
gave the "unwritten law" decision in
the murder hearing of a man who shot
the despoiler of his home, is but one
OF several. men who have held openly
on the bench that homicide 4; xos a
crime when committed to avenge ones
honor.
Some years ago in the Criminal Court
OF st. Louis, Bill Smith was on trial
for an attempt to murder Mrs. Sterling,
a reputable woman who had the man
agement of her husbands farm during
his absence. The Sterling farm was
in Illinois. Sterling was in California
at the time of the attack. His wife
was an attractive woman. One of the
men on the farm was Bill Smith. His
attentions to Mrs. Sterling were more
emphatic than discreet and he was dis
charged. He went to st. Louis and
arranged a plan by which Mrs. Sterling
visited that city, though she was ignor-
ant of Smiths connection with the
scheme. He met her, to her surprise,
Don aften her arrival, and demanded
that she sell her farm, which she could
have done at the time without the
consent of her husband, and go with
him out Of the country. The woman
declined. Smith forced her into a hall
way and nearly succeeded in cutting
her throat with a pocketknifp. The at
tack would have carried but Cor the ar
rival of help.
S.aith's immediate arrest followed,
and ne undertook to justify his act by
tho statement that the woman had
trifed with his affections. Sterling ar
rived from California to assist the
state in it's prosecution. During the
trial it was noticed that Sterling sell
dom took his right hand from his
pocket. Iaughlin, the judge, directed
the jury to find Smith guilty, and then
said:
"If Mr.. Sterling had taken a double
barrelled shotgun on his return to this
city and unloaded both barrels into the
carcass Of this man Smith, even If he
had done 1t in this courtroom, the act
would have been not only justifiable,
but proper and to Mr.. Sterling's credit.
But as he did not, gentlemen of the
jury, you will pass upon the defend
ants guilt, and | will assess the punish
ment, assuring you that it will be to
the full extent"
OF course the verdict was guilty. In
Passing sentence, which was ten years,
Laughlin scored Smith and repeated his
shotgun instructions. When this was
done Sterling took his hand out of his
pocket. He had resolved to kill Smith
il the verdict was different.
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1897-12-23

! At a recent annual thinner of the
London association of correctors of the
press a prominent publisher said that
the great mass of English literature
that will remain is the product of men
who had other occupations than that
Of writing. Shakespeare, Bacon, Bun
yam, Swift, Burke, Lamb, Scott, Mat
thew Arnold, were some of the men
who held business or official positions
or were engaged in other than literary
work. The speaker referred to 1.-The
melancholy spectacle Of young men
and women, ambitious of literary fame,
who are only too ready to throw up
their positions in Office or shop to buy
an inkpot and ream of paper and set
out on a literary career" The mis-
take of making a vocation of work
which may be only profitable as an avo-
cation is to be reckoned among the life
blunders which involve grave losses
and profound regret.
