MUST PAY LICENSE FEES
DeDoDd by Insurance Commits :. sioner Clunie on For
 eidn Companies.

Each of the thirty-four European fire insurance companies doing busi- ness in this State has been presented with an official demand by Insurance Inspector Clunie for unpaid license fees, which in majority of the cases run back twelve years and which ag- gregate s279, ,530 9S.
 These license fees were imposed by a law enacted March g. 1885, requiring foreign insurance companies operating in this State to pay annually l per cent on their premiums to the Treas urer of every county or city and coun- ty in which the business was done, for the benefit of the firemen's relief fund of such county or city and county.
 The law has not heretofore been en- forced, because of a decision of the Su- preme Court, obtained soon after it's enactment, holding that it imposed a municipal tax, which could be levied only by a municipality.
 Commissioner Clunie, however, maintains the States right to impose such license as the one contemplat- ed, and that it is the duty of the In- surance Commissioner to deny to com- panies refusing to pay the fees pernlis- sion to do business. He declares, more over, that he shall enforce the law in case his demands are not honored by the 1st of February

lejo for his prospective match with Jim Jeffries, who is reported as being fit to enter into any kind or a war dance where gloves are worn by the contest ants.
 The National Athletic Club, under whose auspices the great heavyweight contest will be held, is sanguine of securing permit on Friday next from the health and police committee of the board of supervisors. Sharkey received articles of agreement a few days ago from Peter Maher for a limited round contest to be held in this city or in the city of New Orleans, but with all due credit to Thomas Sharkey, he has re- fused to have anything to do with them until he has first disposed of Jim Jeff ries. the champion of the orange groves of Southern California.
 The following letter from Fred Wald- stein, the secretary of the Excelsior Athletic Club of this city. to the sport ing editor of The Call is self-explana- tory:

Attorney Lemon Called Off His Threats of
 Law.
The Police Judges Breathe Easier and Feel Much
 Safer.
Question of Constituuonality VIII Not Be Tested Just
 Now.

Do not rouse the sleeping Hon." Perhaps this admonition from a mem Der of the Supreme bench of the State was given in order to put stop to useless litigation; but whatever may have been the motive of the advice the effect has been startling.
 When Attorney A D. Lemon threat ened to test the constitutionality of the Police Courts of the city and coun- ty of San Francisco it is possible that the threat was nothing more than the natural ebullition of indignation aris- ing from defeat. but while the Judges of the Police Courts were not much alarmed over Lemons proposed action they did not rest so easy under the hidden meaning of the sleeping lion"
 There immediately began a legal game of tag with each of the four members of the Police Court, endeav- bring to fix upon some other member the onus of being 'ft." They did not realize the fact that the sleeping lion'' might possibly have length of ears that would place him in another family of animated nature.
 Yesterday the four Police Judges had out their "busy-day' cards, but VI minds was not that which comes from the misdemeanors of their fellow-men. They were interested in finding out just where they were "at.
 When MT. Lemon got unduly exer- cised over his case and breathed his threat of turning loose the dogs of law, or words to that effect. upon the ques- ton of constitutionality of the acts of the sitting Police Judges, he raised such a sense of insecurity in the breasts of four men who have sent chills down the backs of various evil doers that for while the wheels of justice almost refused to turn.
 It looked dark. indeed. in the early morning hours for the judges, but as the day waned and the fog cleared Lemon experienced a change of heart and concluded that the sleeping lion would not be reused. It might cause too much trouble for the public, and anarchy and chaos might reign if the lion was not permitted to have his nap out Consequently the threat was call ea off and the judges now breathe easier.
 Judge Joachimsen felt sure that he would not be disturbed in any event as he held down the bench in division No. and the unconstitutionalityc could only apply to division No. 4. But Judge Low has a word to say about this. He cannot see why he should be relegated to the rear simply because he happened to be put on the fourth bench by the presiding judge. He thinks that the fact that he received the largest num- Der of votes at the election would in- dicate that he was a fixture.
 The result of all this scare was that each of the four incumbents ransacked their desks and found their election certificates and were ready to meet any and all corners. But happily for the public and the judges Lemon will not press his point and those who are on the lookout for strange things will miss the opportunity of finding out whether the animal Is really lion or another animal with a borrowed skin.

IN HONOR OF THREE BELLIES Elegant Ball at the Tevis Residence Last
 Evening. Old Time Scenes of Generous Hospitality Pleasantly
 Renewed. Tho Affair Complimentary to Miss Banding and the Misses
 Salisbury.

Two dainty buds, Miss Susie Bland ing and Miss Margaret Salisbury, and one of the most charming belles of this season, Miss Kate Thornton Salisbury, were the especial guests of honor at the ball given last evening by Mrs. Lloyd Tevis, at her elegant home corner of Jackson and Taylor streets.
 It has been many years since the Tevis home, famous in days gone by for its generous hospitality, was the scene of so large and brilliant a gathering. The few old friends of the family pres ent, for the majority of guests were the especial friends of the young guests of honor, compared the entertainment. with most delightful results, to the many affairs of a similar nature given by the generous hostess nearly twenty years ago. The same elaborate hos pitality that prevailed then was re- peated, and the only difference seemed to be that in place of the old familiar faces in the vast ball room were the sons and daughters of those who had assisted at those magnificent entertain mentS.
 The guests last evening numbered 200. and the entire lower floor of the house was placed at their disposal Each apartment boaSted or some Ill dividual decorations. No set arrange ment was adhered to, but the effec
 of choicest flowers, arranged witf that art which conceals all art, wa: beautiful and pleasing in the extreme
 In the corridor long -stemmed Ameri can Beauties and violets filled the hug vases and bowls that were placed il the many pretty niches. In the mail drawing-room there was delightful arrangement of bridesmaid roses. Tn.
 dining hall was gay with cordons o green and punches of red berries, ant the reception-room was handsomel. decorated with carnations of ever. shade, each blossom of which was prize hothouse flower.
 All the rooms were covered witt
 snowy white canvas and the dancer
 were made welcome everywhere. At 10 o'clock the guests began to ar rive and dancing was at once fnaug urated There was no receiving party
 Mrs. Tevis, surrounded by all the mem
 bers of her family, had a kind wor | for each and every one.
 At midnight dancing was suspende and delicious supper enjoyed. whicI
 again was followed by the dance whicl
 continued until the wee sma' hours.
