THE BEAUTY OF A FIGURE.

FROM little town in the South comes the story of woman named Crow-whether relict o1 the justly celebrated Jim Crow does not appear. But on her own hook she remarkable woman. Mrs Crow had done something contrary to the peace and statutes that necessity had arisen for arrestng her This task was undertaken by two officers, and little later the turmoil began She did not want to be arrested and lady of determined character. Her daughters were of similar mold. For does not cor respondent relate that one of the daughters flew at them like an enraged tigress with big knife? It may be supposed that when enraged tigress with big knife essays to fly the prudent would feel an impulse get away from there An enraged tigress, even unprovided with a knife Is pleasant spec tacle but give her big knife and set her flying and she would be terror. Hence the conclusion is reached that Mrs. Crow remarkable woman. The past is used advisedly, and is an emphasis to the easily discerned beauty of the fgurave Ian guage employed. While she and the younger Crows were fighting some of them probably like enraged tigresses with sx-shooters her spirit took its way a jurisdiction. The correspondent, however is believed still to be earth, and shall live in the hope of hearing from him some more

STILL UNEXPLAINED.

TVER since The Call requested Senator Stratton l to make an explanation of his extraordinary re- 1A latons to the various litigants in the Harbor Commission case now pending in Judge Bechers court he has been asking witnesses for the plaintiff all sorts of questions bearing the subject. Among the witnesses questioned has been Mir Slade himself. According to the newspaper reports this gentleman testified to having searched for Senator Straton and found him in the vicinity of Stow Lake, to having employed him attorney in some cases, to having paid him for advice and to having listened to- his conscientious scruples concerning his relations to the Harbor Commission and Slade.
 Mr. Stratton has asked other witnesses about his dual legal character without eciting any satisfactory information He has not come forward with his own testimony nor has he, so far know taken Judge Belcher into his confidence This is remarkable since there is no person the world well informed upon the subject he well qualified to pre- sent the public with fu true and specific of the part played by him in the curious transactions be- tween the Dundon-Sade syndicate and the Board of State Harbor Commissioners
 In default of his testimony, therefore, bound to that Senator Stratton has been enactng the part of sort of Dr. Jekyll with the commission and a sort of Mr. Hyde with the Slade combination In other words, while advising the former what to do ill the Parafne Paint Company's and other cases he has divested himself of all recollection that he ever was the paid attorney and advisor of Mr. Slade While advising the latter what to do in order to get from the Commissioners or defeat them in litigation he has plotted from his mind all recollec- ton of his obligations to the State To act these parts would of course require of Senator Stratton an extraordinary control of his conscience but in default of complete explanation from him there is nothing left for except to assume that he would have consider him equal to the emergency We not disposed to judge Senator Stratten harshly he is reform Senator from Alameda County and that ought to be sufficient to get him out of al- most any equivocal situation. But we respectfully submit that he is taxing our creduy rather severely when he asks to believe that as attorney both for the Harbor Commission and for MT. Slade he could look out for both parties the same time The tes timony in the Paraffine Paint Company's case shows that the interests of the clients were antaponstc That is the Dundon- Slade combination were getting colusve contracts out of the commission to the great detriment of the State treasury Unless MT. Stratton establish that it was good thing to de- plete the State treasury in this way we shall be dis posed to stick to the apparently absurd theory that when he advised MT. Slade how to carry on his busi- ness to the detrment of the State treasury he was playing both ends against the middle and was ac- tualy getting his fees out of the people
 We regard explanation from Senator Stratton as more imperative than ever.
