the adoption of law prohibiting the
sport in that State. Now Chicago
Alderman, who feels jealous ON ac-
count of tn exclusion of Slogging, pro-
poses an ordinance which would pro-
hibit the game in that city. He says
that it is forty times more dangerous
than prize fighting, and we presume II
is fact that more lives are lost. ana
more serious injuries received than In
prize fighting, but, on the other hand,
it must be remembered that more peo-
pie are engaged in football playing than
in fighting for money.
FRESNO FINE ART.
Fresno Expositor: Farming and fruit
raising are among the fine arts in Fres-
no County. The interest which the Ia
dies take in the work makes them fine
arts. This probably accounts, too, for
the attractiveness of our out-of-toWn
homes. The yards and gardens of the
simplest homes one sees along the road
bear evidence of an interested hand
guided by refined taste.
PIERCING THE BLUE EMPYREAN.

A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.
Stockton Mail: The decision of the
Supreme Court of the United States is
not unexpected Yet it is with GER
tain stern satisfaction that the people
of this commonwealth learn the news.
This lustful animal committed two
murders so horrifying, so brutal that
even now the memory of them chills
the blood. He was convicted on a
mass Of testimony, every bit of which
squared with the theory of his guilt
and with the theory of no other mans
guilt His attorney tied about the feet
of justice the strings of technical de-
lay until the patience of the people
had become well-nigh exhausted. The
decision has cut those strings. The
sword of the law is again raised to
strike. and this time it will fall
We are not hard of heart. We love
the sight of no mans pain or sorrow.
But this infamous wretch deserves no
pity. Fe deserves death. Let us hope

HIS LAST FAREWELL.
He Gave It by Proxy, but His Wife
Didn't Know That.

The steamer presented scene of con-
fusion, as she stood at the dock prior
to her departure for Cleveland Bar
| rels, boxes, trunks and packages were
being carried hurriedly aboard. Pas
sengers and friends of passengers as
sembled in small groups bidding each
other a parting farewell.
On one side away from the crowd
stood man. leaning against post and
and staring in idle contemplation al
long; times footprints We're visible on
his clothing, and it was difficult to de-
eide whether he might be termed "a
sentlemanly tramp or "a trampy gen
tleman.'
After the last good-byes had been
said and the time for departure had al
most arrived, a brisk, elderly gentle
man. evidently a prosperous merchant,
his wife. and a bright young lady. who
was just blooming into womanhood,
came hurriedly down the street.
Tickets for two!' he exclaimed at
the ticket office.
Then, embracing his wife and kissing
his daughter. he prepared to depart.
Poor papa, you will have such a
lonely time" said the daughter, and a
little sympathetic tear rippled slowly
down her rosy cheek
Papa turned aside. smiled and then
murmured to himself: '?'Put a W in
place of that M my dear
The noise and confusion ceased, and
the huge steamer turned majestically
from her moorings. The merchant
turned to the tramny looking gentle
man Tor gentlemanly looking tramp
and said:
do you see that lady in black stand
ing on the deck?"
Yes, 1 see her.
"All right. She's my wife, and ex-
poets me to stay here for twenty min
utes and shake my handkerchief until
that steamer is out of sight"
Does she?" the Gentlemanly tramp
smiled.
"Yes. This is my busy season, and
I've no time to waste. Here, take this
handkerchief-it's an extra large one
with which she has furnished me. She'll
be none the wiser if you have the hand
kerchief. I'll pay YOU a quarter for
Your work"
1T is a bargain" the tramp answered,
as he held out his hand for quarter.
'All right" continued the merchant.
Here's an extra dime. but you must
kiss your hand to her a few times for
it,
There was a hearty handshake, and
the prosperous merchant" disappeared. d..
For twenty minutes man, who from
appearances, might have been taken for
maniac, was seen waving his hand
and throwing kisses at the departing
steamer.
And it is to such things that the
pressing cares of business drive an
otherwise dutiful husband and father

Key of Loeb Levin Castle.

The key of Loeb Levin Castle was
found in the lake. where it was sup
posed to have been thrown by the
young Douglas when Mary Queen OF
Scots made her escape. The key was
originally in the possession of William
Hamper, who presented 1t to Sir WAL
ter Scott. The castle is situated on an
island near the northwest extremity
of Loch Levin. When Mary dismissed
Boutwell, on Carberry Hill and Joined
the insurgents she was carried into
Edinburgh and on the day following
she attempted to escape disguised as q
laundress. and had almost succeeded,
but the boatman distrusted the beauty
and whiteness of her hands. and so the
ill-fated lady was brought back. What
tales this little key could tell if it could
talk. All the romances in the world
might be excelled by a recital of the
much-debated historical facts sur
rounding that remarkable woman.

THAT GRAIN CHARITY.
Oakland Enquirer: A strange story
comes from India of the inhospitable
reception given to the steamer. Everett,
which took over the load Of grain do
mated by the American people to the
famine victims. 1t was said the ship
was Hbeled because the Captain could
not pay the duties on the grain, and the
English officials and grain spectators
used every means to embarrass the
Everett and to make the execution of
her mission failure. This agrees with
other reports which say that the Indian
famine was closely associated with gil
gantic and cold-blooded speculation in
grain, for which the native merchants
were even more responsible than the
English traders.
ORANGES MOVING.
Los Angeles Herald: Shipments of
Southern California oranges have be-
gun. Porterville, in the San Joaquin
Valley, has been sending on fruit for
ten days past in small lots, and few
have left in the same way from this
side of the mountains. But the first car
loads We're moved at the end of last
week The cold nights and warm, dry
days now prevailing are putting high
color on the fruit, and by the end of
this week the movement will be quite
large. Eastern markets will enjoy
more Thanksgiving Day oranges this
year than ever before. By the time the
Christmas holidays are here there Will
be plenty of oranges unless the weather
between the 10th and 2Oth of December
should be wet.
Prices are better this year than for
many preceding seasons. True, navels
are not procurable at less than 81 10 per
box. Buyers seem to have confidence
in the market, judging by what they are

THAT PROTECTION LAW.
Stockton Independent: Eastern
napers that have Indignantly denounced
the California law that requires publc
institutions to prefer California pro-
ducts in buying supplies now have ex-
eellent opportunity to lecture ChlcaSo
to prevent like action in that city by the
Federal authorities. All the trades or
sanizations there demand that the stone
for the new Postoffice shall be cut IN
Chicago. The amount of money dlrectly
involved is 81, 600, but the principle.
if adopted, is expected to be applied TO
the whole expenditure of the building,
which is $4,000.O00. While papers IN
other places may oppose the movement
