JusTICE AND LAW COMBINED. A Supreme Court Order in the Old
 Never Divorce Case.

c,,nra,na Court Commissioner Hayne has written an opinion in the divorce case of Louis Meyer against his wife, Ma tilda. in which justice as well as law cut a. prominent figure. Meyer is pilot, con- e,derablv past middle life, and the couple were married in 1878. One son was the issue of the marriage. The divorce mat ter was taken into court nearly eight wears ago, and the Judge ordered that Never pay his wife $125 a month alimony and S2O0 attorney fees. This order was no doubt made on the Judges belief in the truth of the Woman9s s9oo statement tna5 5 that she was without resources, and that he did not contribute to the support or their son, then 12 years Of age. When the Supreme Court got hold Of the case on an appeal from this order the Com missioner found that there was another side to the matter
 If seems that shortly after the marriage of the couple her father gave Mrs. Meyer a valuable house and lot on Van Ness avenue. worth over S30,O00, and from 1phich she realized $135 a month rental. After the suit was begun she transferred the house back to her father. without Consideration, although her brother col lected the rent and gave 1t to her. As to Mever the Commissioner found that he is now getting old, and instead of making s5po a month he is only averaging $500. Out of this he is paying several old bills on the installment plan and, being sick a great deal of the time, after paying the doctor bills there is very little left. With these facts in view, the Supreme Court directed that the order of the lower court be modified, so that instead of the nilot having the woman $l25 he would have to pay her only $50 In the opinion the Commissioner said that 1t was not heavy a burden on Meyer, especially where she was drawing a rental of S135 and where she transferred her real estate without consideration in order to defend xr.;e ootfn

ORDERS FOR INSPECTION.
Issued Yesterday From the Division Headquarters of the National
 Guard

Late vesterdav afternoon Major-Gene- ral Dickinson issued orders for the in- spections to be held soon in the National Guard.
 These orders fix the inspection of the Second Brigade between March l2 ana April 4, of the First Brigade between April 4 and April 20, and of the Thlrd Brigade between April 20 and May 15
 The Naval Militia will be inspected at such time prior to June i as shall be designated by the captain commanding that branch of the service, and the Sanl- tary Corps shall be inspected prior to June l, at such time as shall be deslg- mated by the proper officer.
 Each brigade will be inspected by the brigade inspector and the Naval Militia by the captain thereof CT some one desig- mated for that purpose.
 The inspectors will provide themselves with previous inspection reports ana Tn the one they are to make they shall note changes. Prior to inspections the lnspec- tors will have to make answer in writing to certain questions which will be pro- pounded.
 The major-general directs that the in spection of officers and men shall be at night. and that of the property shall be by day, and that these must be conducted with proper care and attention, and that the reports must be Intelligent eApres- sions of the condition of men and prop erty. for upon proper reports depends the placing of the National Guard in con- dition of efficiency.
 The orders also contain the information that the division headquarters will be hereafter at the office of the major-gene- ral in the Mills building, instead of the Baldwin Hotel
 The fact that the major-general issues orders for the inspection of the Naval Militia is believed to mean that that branch of the service, which some tlme ago was removed from the jurisdiction or or-GeneraI James, has been restored to the division command.

SOME HOT FIGHTING.
Joe Cotton and Billy Gallagher Fight
 Eight Rounds to Draw.

OAKLAND, Cal, March 3.-There was some furious fighting at the Acme Club tonight, and, although the main event ended in a draw, it was only af- ter eight rounds of good work that sat- isfied everybody.
 The fight between Joe Cotton, the col ored man, and Billy Gallagher of Hay wards was the main event, and Lon Agnew's decision was very fair and was we'll received Both men were eau tious, and each realized that his oppo- nent meant business.
 The result proved that an eight round go is too short contest for two evenly matched men, and on this point there was the usual diSSatiSfac- tion Chief Lloyd, however, refuses to allow ten rounds, and until he does there can be no relief.
 Both Cotton and Gallagher started out with caution. and but very few blows were passed in the first five rounds. After that Lon Agnew remind ed the men that he would like to give a decision and they started to fight more earnestly. The last two rounds were particularly lively, and both tried hard to find an opening that would end matters, but it did not come, and al- though Gallagher had the best of the Ia ast round there was not enough diff ference between them to give a de- cisiOn.
 There were some preliminary bouts, the most lively being that between Tommy Sharkey and Cotton'S trainer, Smith. It was all Sharkeys fight, but it was not for decision.

Oakland. It is true the family has been very unfortunate. Smith and his father are both blind; one girl, IS years of age, is cripple, and a son has been sent to one of the reform schools. The people or Oakland had considerable sympathy for the family, and allowed Abraham the privilege of selling small articles on the streets without the payment of the usual license, which was equivalent to begging. In fact, the children were used for beg ging.
 While this business was very profitable. it was also demoralizing, for it resulted in the boy getting into bad ways and gambling like an old sport. When the Oaklanders realized that their intended kindness was not having the desired re- suits they withdrew the free license, it being well established that the family had acquired some means. Smith was equal to the occasion, and he at once came to this city and made application for an indigent's license. He got 1t by simply stating that his address was oo4 Jackson street, but he omitted to add that it was Jackson street, Oakland. For some time the old man and his daughter have been coming across the bay on com mutation tickets and begging from house to house in the residence parts of the city. Considering the imposition and the fact that the children are going to the bad, the society decided to have the of- ficers put a stop to Smith carrying on this business any longer.

TAX REFORM IN CALIFORNIA Professor Plehn Says a Commission Should
 Investigate. Urges the Abolition of Personal Property and Mortgage
 Taxes.
The Single Income Tax Declared to Be Theoretically the
 Best Tax.

BERKELEY, March 3-Professor c. c. Plehn of the department of econom- ics delivered a lecture at the university this afternoon on the Reform of Taxation in California" He empha- sized the necessity of the establishment of commission to investigate taxation evils before attempting to inaugurate changes in present methods He strongly urged the abolition of the per- sonal property and mortgage taxes, and suggested that in their stead taxes be levied upon corporations in propor- tion to the market value of their stocks and bonds, upon the occupants of build ings in proportion to the annual rental value, business taxes on firms and indi- viduals to correspond to the tax on cor porations and the continuance and ex- tension of the inheritance tax
 In the course of his lecture Professor Plehn said: Tax reform should be planned with great care and in a scien- tific spirit. Above all it should never be allowed to become a partisan measure. The history of taxation is too full of attempts of one class to tax another. Before we attempt any changes the subject should be investigated by a non-partisan commission composed of men of high scientific attainment.
 Tt is hopeless to think of patching up the old property tax, which is wrong in principle as well as in practice. A single income tax is theoretically best, but we have not yet reached that high stage of political development at which such a tax is possible.
 With all due respect to the late Henry George and his earnest and hon. est but misguided followers, I main- tain that the single tax is not a desira- ble method of effecting tax reform. The single taxers aim solely at destroy ing the institution of private property in land, which institution has been one of Americas greatest gifts to the civil ized world, and they propose to use the taxing power of the Government to effect this destruction"

 Real Estate.

MORE PHYSICAL TRAINING. Professor Walter Magee Wishes It Given a Trial in the Berke-

Magee hopes in the near future to see systematic physical culture in high schools, grammar schools and even pri- mary schools, as well as in the univer- sitv In order to bring this about he proposes to pursue the same plan as that adopted by the department of pedagogy at Berkeley, of giving to students who intend to teach an opportunity to get some practical experience.

NEW BLOOD INFUSED.
The Board of Trade Takes Up the
 Alaska Committees Work.

The formal transfer of the office, funds, affairs and business of the Alaska Trade Committee to the State Board of Trade took place yesterday at meeting of the committee and the representatives Of the State body. The transfer consisted o1 about $500 in cash, enough outstanding as sets to increase that amount to nearly 5000, fixtures and a lot of valuable printed matter. The chairman of the committee will retain enough money to make good all bills, of which there are but few, for the boards agreement was that it should be exempt from all liabilities.
 Secretary Filcher says that his first ef- forts will be to infuse some spirit into the movement and convince the outside world that San Francisco is the best outfitting port on the Pacific Coast for those who will start in the spring for the gold fields of the Yukon and Klondike His first movement will be to start out able canYassers to collect the funds now due the old committee and bring other subscribers into the movement. He has already made arrangements for an able corps of assistants to attend to the cleri- cal work and answer correspondence. for there are hundreds of letters to answer every day from people who are going to the north and want information as to the best routes and the cost of making prep arationS for the trip.
 The next move will be to install the exhibit now at the Miners Fair in its old quarters at the foot of Market street, where it was before. This will be done next week, when the fair closes. MT. rilcher expects to have more extensive exhibit than there was before. While this is being put in place the board will branch out in a new direction. Past ex- perience indicates that there are thou sands of people in the Eastern and Middle States who are desirous of getting all possible information about Alaska and the best ways and means of reaching hat land of promise. In order to direct tie attention of these. MT. Filcher will adver tise in all the prominent papers of the Middle States, invite correspondence and furnish the desired information in the shape of printed matter. No pains or money will be spared to prove the truth of the assertion that this city Is the best on the coast for ou.-lting purposes.
 Particular attention will be paid to gathering all the latest news of the move ments of steamers and sailing vessels bound for the .north, as well as every thing that people want to know. In dis cusslng the future of the work in hand, MT. Filcher said that as soon as the ferry building is ready the fine exhibit of the State Board of Trade, now at the Mining Fair, will be moved into it's new quarters on the second floor, near the main entrance This done, the Alaska wing of the board will also be moved into the main building, the two exhibits being so arranged as to be equally attractive.
