UP THE SPOUT.
Where the Estate of Joseph r. Nellie
is Said to Have Gone.

William B. Miller, by his attorney,
W. w. Rhoads, applied to the Superior
Court for letters of administra ton on
the estate of Joseph r. nellie Cor Nal
.le), deceased.
The petition states that deceased died
in November, 1894, leaving an estate in
this county which the petitioner be-
lieves is of the value of $1,000 and
upward. His sister, Rita Francisco
Rodrigues, aged 60 years; niece, Ma
ria Francisco, and a nephew, Francisco
Machado, all residents of the Azore
Islands, are the nearest of kin. De-
ceased left a will in which he be-
queathed them his property.
The will was presented to the court
for probate by Antonio Viera 1t was
admitted to probate and Vieira ap-
pointed executor, without bonds. The
petitioner then alleges that Vieira has
wasted property of the estate by coll
Letting moneys and not accounting
therefor, and in fact, that he has en-
bezZled nearly all of the property and
applied it to his own use.
The only portion of the estate that
the petitioner can find is fortyfi five
acres of land in Yolo County, valued at
about $1,000. AS Public Administra-
tor. he asks that the estate be con-
fided to his care for the benefit of the
heirs of the deceased.

is WOMAN A HUMAN BElNG2
This Question Was GraveIy Discussed at
Bishops Council at Macon.

This Question Was GraveIy Discussed at
Bishops Council at Macon.
In these latter days of the Nineteenth
century, when woman is struggling for
an equality with men in the arts and
sciences and in politics, it may be in
teresting to know that as early as the
Sixth century the woman question"
was a knotty problem confronting the
sages of that period
1t was a more startling question,
however, than that of these days of
safety bicycles and abbreviated skirts.
"Are women human beings?" was the
woman question as formulated in the
Sixth century.
This startling inquiry was proposed
by bishop at the council of Macon, and
the reverend fathers were so amia BILE
and so liberal as to devote several ses-
sions to the consideration of the sub
ject. They did not disdain the question
as useless or frivolous, but gravely I'M
dertook the task of assigning to woman
her proper place in creation.
With all her faults they loved her
still, and, moved partly, no doubt, by
affection, they generously decided that
she did not belong to the world of "mut
tons, beeves or goats" but was in truth
a human being.
1t must not be imagined, however,
that this advanced theory was forced
upon Christendom, says the London
Mail. The council of Macon was not
ecumenical, and SO churchmen were
not constrained to accept its decision.

PARDY'S RED FOX.

When 1t Lost Its Tail 1t Kept Turning
Somersauits.
Bill Pardy, of Wheelerville, n. u,
came walking down the trail from
Odit's camp, up in the North branch,
the other afternoon, with his rife over
his shoulder and leading a full-grown
red fox with a dog chain fastened to a
leather strap about its neck. Elmer
Hamlin was leaning against the gate
post, remarks the New York Sun, wait
ing for the horses 10 finish their oats.
He looked at the fox, then at Bill Pardy,
then u: the fox again, before he said any
thing. Then he said:
well, say; where did you get him?"
up by Odit's camp" Pardy replied
Then Elmer asked how.
Pardy said that his dog had started
the fox over the Big Ash ridge near the
Dix swamp, and he had gone ahead to
the runway by Odit's camp. The fox
came along and he opened on it with his
rifle. He fired three times, and then at
last the beast went end over end. Pardy
reckoned that the bullet had hit it in the
head; so that when the fox kept
tumbling head ever heels he didn't shoot
When he got to the beast, however, be
found that the bullet had cut its tail Off
close and clean. That had made the
beast so light behind that it keeled over
every time it tried to leap, like a boy
turning somersaults. Bill took his
dog chain, tied it to the fox, and after
putting his tail into his pocket, started
for home, first tying bag Of cartridges
to the stub of the foN's tail so that it
could walk comfortably.

It is q little unfortunate that that
genial travelling inquisitor, Ii Hung
Chang, was not warned as to the limits
of American appreciation Of humor be-
fore undertaking his visit 20 the United
States, observes the London World. In
common fairness he should have been
made to understand that Brother Jona-
than, by no means a humorous person,
as a rule, is constitutionally incapable
of approaching any chaff leveled against
the institutions of his great and glori-
Gus country and demands unqualified
admiration, unmiXed even with the
friendliest criticism, from the stranger
within his gates.
In his ignorance of this popularity
it is only natural that the innocent Ii,
with his awkward questions and his
bland little sarcasms, should have put
his foot into it" in the most appalling
fashion on the other side of the At
lantic. His childlike inquiry about the
generals" was bad enough, but worse
remained behind in a "candid friend"
reminder to his host that all that was
good in their country came from Eng
land.
This seems to have been the last
straw, and now the luckless Ii is being
denounced rs "murderous monster"
who INDUCES in "senseless when not IN
sulting questions and unciril COM
ments." It seems that we understood
and appreciated the artless celestial a
good deal better in the old country.

IMMIGRATION QUESTION.
A Practical Test Supplied by a New York
EactarY.


She was a shirtmal<er, writes Mary
Gay Humphreys, in Scribner's. The
girls had the trade in their own hands,
and made good wages. First one black
bearded man got in and he brought his
brother and his son. Soon the room
was half filed with men in shiny clothes
and big black boards, who brought their
relations. The girls first objected be-
cause they made the factory towel so
black with their dirty hands. After
that the girls brought their own towels,
but the black men seemed to choke up
the room and swallow all the air. Then
work began to give out; the black
bearded men were taking it home to do
nights, when their wives and daughters
could help them. The old people and
the little children, who could do moth
ing else, pulled out the hastings. The
boss found he could get his work done
cheaper and save in rent and fuel At
last prices were cut until the girls might
as well strike or starve. They struck.
1t is irrelevant but instructive to
know that they made gallant fight and
lost. The black-bearded men came in
greater force and took ali the work
home; the factory was given up, the
girls thrown out of work. Thus was
the question of immigration pressed

A MODERN SOLOMON.
Pathetic Incident That Acquitted Poor
French Woman.

Pathetic Incident That Acquitted Poor
French Woman.
A pathetic little drama was recently
enacted in French court of justice.
\ poor needlewoman was charged with
stealing two gold coins from her en-
ployer. Her defense was that, while
waiting in her employers house, the
child in her arms, unknown to her, was
attracted by the sight of the glittering
gold on the mantel shelf behind her,
and, leaning forward over her shoulder,
clutched the coins in it's chubby fist,
and had so carried them away. This
she persistently and solemnly stated on
oath, says the London Weekly Tele-
graph.
The court, however, was incredulous,
and reproved the mother for her at
tempt to deceive him. But she asserted
her innocence with such pathetic power
that the sagacious judge determined
to test the truth of her statement. He
hade her stand by his desk with her
child facing over her shoulder in the
way she had described. Then he took
several gold coins from his pocket and
placed them on the desk within reach
Of the child.
A breathless silence ensued. Every
one awaited the touching sequel. Then
suddenly the child's eye caught sight
Of the cleaning gold, and. with az eager
smile, the tiny hand was outstretched to
the desk and the coins were clutched in
its tenacious grasp. The mother was
promptly acquitted.
