OTHER PEOPLES RIGHTS.

A ragged woman was crossing the corner of
a public park in London where the children
them barefoot. relates the Presbyterian. a
burly policeman stationed on the corner
watched her suspiciously. Half way acroSs
she stopped and picked up something which
she hid in her apron. In an l1Stant the
policeman was Oy her SIDE win gruH
voice and threatening manner he demand
ed:v .rs vo, carving off in vour
apron?' -,-., $500,
fused to answer Thereupon, the officer OF
the law thinking that she had doubtless
picked upa pocketbook. which she was try
Ing to make away with, threatened to arrest
her unless she told him at once what she had
in her apron. 49,
AT this the woman reluctantly unfol ded
her apron ard disclosed Il hat dfui of broken
glass. In stupid wonderment the policeman
What do you want with that stufr?"
a flush passed over the womans face, then
.sIf You please. sir lust thought I'd like
to take it out of the way of the childrcn's
feet"
Toe man that wrote the above hard
ly thought il was going to be used to
point a moral away down here in the
corner of Texas, But the principle it
affirms is good one, and word needs
to be said on this matter now.
The principal gries ance to be aired
is.voiced for the army of bicy, lers il
Ell Paso and that other army of horse
owners. People, no matter who they
are, have no right 10 throw bottles,
tin cans, wire, boards full of nails, and
similar kinds of refuse, into the public
streets. The practice is against the
law, but more than thai, it is against
common decency. We have observed
so many. instances where horses feet
have been painfully cutand badly in
jured, or where bicycle tires are pune
tured and wheels damaged, on account
of such acts of negligence, that We
call on all decent citizens to protest
against this practice in q forcible way.
This way consists 10 having the offend
ers arrested and fined. The saloons,
eating houses, and hotels are the worst
offenders, and the easiest to control.
The second point 10 be noted is the
simple one of cruelty to animals. It is
the duty OF every man, who sees an act
of crue't y performed upon any living
thin, to profess, in quiet, gentle
ID .nly wa o cou Sc, but With -frmness
and determination, against such act,
aud to see that his protest is heed
ed
The third point refers to the dis
gushing habits of too large proportion
OF our people, who forget that by their
uncleanliness and carelessness they
are causing unpleasautness and'distress
to thousands of men and women who
know better. 1t is not necessary to
pursue the details OF this dissgreeable
subject The offenders must know at
whom the shaft is aimed.
Let Us each aud al constitute our
selves constables for the public good,
and remember that no mans duty is to

Counties in Texas.

One of tho favorite pastimes of the
Texas legislators is to create new
counties. The Lone Star State has as
a result no less Than 246 counties.
Some OF them are necessarily couutie 9
in name only. In what is known st
Kings County. in the election of 1892
there were Gig hty-one voters, seventy
six Democrats and five Populists. In
1896, as the result perhaps of the edu-
cational campaign, there appeared one
Republican. 1t has never been au-
thoritatively statsd whether this Re-
publican was former Democrat or a
former Populist, but, at all events he
voted for Will am Mckinley in 1896,
and enjoys the proud distinction of be-
ing the only man in his county who

Why a Ship is Called "She,

The word ship is masculine in
Frer CHI, Italian, Spanish, and Portu-
guesse, and possesses no sex in Teuto-
mic and Scandinavian. Even man of
war is she to our sailors. Perhaps it
would ne be An error to trace the
custom back to the Greeks, who called
all ships by femenine names, prob IDLY
out OF Difference to Athene goddess
of the sea. But the sailor assigns no
such reasons. The ship is to him a
veritab BILE sweetheart and it is COM
mon thing to hear him ascribing to it
and intelligence. The ship
possesses waist, collars, stays, laces,
bonnets. ties, ribbons, com bings, ear
rings, chains, wa ches, jewels, and
scarfs, and there IS often considerable
hustle" about her. She il full of pins,
hooks ~ eyes. She also possesses
forehead, nose, head eyes, shoulde s
and more than one heart. The keeper
of a ship in port is Familiarity called
the ''ship's husband" If we and that
she looks best when fully 'rigged
OUT" we may have enough of sailor
log so account for the femenire name

He was regarded by all as a straightforward, indus trious and hard working man, one who attended strictly to his own business and loved his family and fireside.
 By the ruthless work of the assassin a widow and seven children, mostly daughters, are left destitute.
 T don't know what I shall do," said the widow, tearfully, to-day. We have no funds-hardly enough to bury him. My husband was good man, a good husband and father and as long as he could work the family wanted for nothing.

NO DOG SAFE
 IN FRESNO NOW Purloining of Canines by Prospective Klondik-
 CTS Continues.
Two Prominent Young Men Arrested for Stealing a
 St. Bernard.
Numerous Valuable Animals Have Disappeared and Their Owners
 Are Enraged.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, Jan. 21.-Owing to the big demand for suitable dogs for the Klon- dike, larceny of the animals is becom- ing very common and any dog of suf- ficient size to haul a sled is not safe in Fresno, whether he is a prized household animal or valuable in the field or the chase The dog once con- sidered a bowling nuisance in Fresno, is now looked upon in admiration and covetousness by many people who dis cusS his points as to strength and en- durance. The demand for canines suit able for team work in Alaska has caused owners of fine dogs consider able apprehension during the last two weeks. A heavy, stocky, shaggy haired younp animal will bring from $50 to $50, and as high as $100 has been offered for dog regarded as especially good for work.
 CanineS containing the predominant ing characteristics of the St. Bernard, shepherd and Newfoundland, although of unrecorded ancestry, are the favor ties with the persons getting up teams. Such animals weigh from 80 to 100 pounds, have long shaggy hair, and possess strength and endurance.
 Many persons have been making a business of stealin~ valuable dogs and selling them to parties preparing to % to the Klondike, and in some cases the prospective KlondikerS themselves have bee-- guilty of canine larceny.
 To-day George w. Mcdonald, the irate owner of a stolen dog, swore out warrant for the arrest of Wes Moore and Frank Wyatt for stealing his prized St. Bernard, and the young men, both of whom are we'll known in the city, were taken to Madeira There they were fined $14 which they paid.

SOUTHERK PEcfFIc BUYS
 LAND M SAK JOSE.
Belief That the Company Intends to Erect Union Depot and Muchine
 Cbnn

SAN JOSE, Jan. 21.-The Southern Pa cific Company has purchased twenty three acres of land in the Polhemus tract, between Polhemus street and Len zen avenue. and 1t is rumored that the company will erect a union depot and extensive machine-shops on the property. The Southern Pacific formerly owned thirteen acres in that tract. and this last purchase, made two days ago, will give 1t piece of forty acres.
 T. k. Montgomery, who sold the land to the railroad, could give no definite in formation as to the object of the railroad in buying the tract. The prevailing opin- ion is that union depot will be erected at the site, and that the old depots of the broad and narrow gauge trains in this city will be moved there. If such is the case the track on Fourth street will be abandoned. and the trains on the coast road will run over tracks leaving the main line near Hillsdale and come in by the present narrow gauge depot. A change in the Niles route into the city will also be made
 Rumor has it the machine-shops at Newark will be moved to San Jose, and that as soon as the coast route is com pieted large machine-shops will be run ming in San Jose.

ORANGE SUPPLY
 NOW TOO LARGE
Prices Favor the Buyer in the Markets of Eastern
 Cities.
Demand for Prunes Is Fair and the Tendency of Quotations
 Upward.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 NEW YORK, Jan. 21.-The Journal of Commerce says: Trade in oranges it is stated by large handlers of fruit has been revolutionized within the past two or three seasons by the growing prominence of the California product The increase in duty under the present tariff law has, it is claimed, curtailed shipments from Mediterranean ports. and especially in Sicily fruit. So far this year there have been received but 1900 boxes of the new crop of Sicily oranges. against 4200 boxes for the same time a year ago and 114, 900 boxes in 1896 while the quantity now on the way is very small. Reports of Valen- cia receipts by comparison with for mer years do not show such a decided falling off though they were consid- erably smaller than in previous years, and, according to advices from Eng land, will, during the balance of the season, be light.
 Arrivals at English ports, it is stated, show considerable proportion of poor fruit, and the cost of sound stock. which buyers here, when they come into the market at all want, is there by approximately increased. Accord ing to statistics of receipts kept by the Fruit Buyers Union arrivals of Valencia oranges at this port from the beginning of the season to date have amounted to about 4000 cases, against 4600 cases for the same period last year and 5700 cases in 1896, but the stock afioat or to be shipped to this port is said to show a much greater deficit
 The better output from Florida this year, in connection with liberal ship ments of California fruit to Eastern consuming markets, which latter are understood to have so far aggregated 2000 cars, has caused a diversion of buying interest to the domestic prod uct At present these supplies of all descriptions seem to be in excess of the demand and the market favors the buyer.
 Rumors of large sales of prunes for arrival from California are not accept ed by the majority of people in trade with confidence. There has been bet ter business of late both on spot and future delivery and the market is de- cidedly firmer, but with the possible exception of some good sized purchases by Chicago buyers for shipment from the coast there have been, it is said by well informed people here, no i'm portant transactions. Santa Clara fruit is scarce and seems to be wanted Northern prunes, it Is understood, have sold fairly, but in nothing like the quantity mentioned in some reports The current situation in prunes is strong and tendency of prices upward.

ScHAEFER " RARE FORM.
EstabHshes WorId's Record at the New
 RnLk Line Game

CHICAGO. Jan. 2L-"Wizard" Schaefer in his game this afternoon with Cation in the 1S-inch balk line tournament ran his 400 points in ten innings-an average of forty-which is the worlds record at the new game. The balls suited him, the temperature was all right, and from the start it was evident that he was ready to make things interesting for his oppo- nent.
 The wizard" started off in quarter horse style, making 43 from the play off, and following with clever runs of 34 and 67. At this point Cation had one point to his credit. This did not suit the Rock Islander, and in the next three innings he put together T points. Jake came back with 23, 27 and g, and at the end of the seventh inning the call was Schaefer. 210; Cation, S9 In the eighth inning Schaefer made one and Cation scored goose egg. Evidently Schaefer thought enough time had been wasted on the game, and without hesitation went to work to knock out Ives average. It was Schaefer in his old-time form, and it was not until the ''wizard'' had made 1O6 points that he fell down on a hard cush- ion draw by hairs breadth.
 Cation could make but four from the leave, and then Jacob ran the game out, achieving an average of forty. The spec tators went almost wild Cation was the first to congratulate Schaefer. and did not seem to worry over his defeat. This af-
 
 morrow nights contest very dubious, and Ives will have to play his best to de- feat his old master: The score: Schaefer, B, 34. eS 0, %, 2. 9. l, 106 S3-40O: aver age, 40. Cotton, l, 0, H. 24, 42, l, 10, 0, 493; average 10 1-3.
 Frank Ives this evening defeated Spinks in the most unsatisfactory game of the billiard tournament by a score of 400 to l54. The balls would not roll kindly for either player, and though for eighteen innings Spinks only made an average of a fraction over six it took Ives that number of innings to make up his handi- cap. Ives began his twentieth inning with 136 to go. The worries rolled hard for him and he had to earn every count until he had gathered sixty-five, when the balls lined up in the balk almost frozen. By a daring masse he not only counted, but apparently hypnotiZed the balls. They began to come his way and by skillful line nursing he quickly secured the necessary points, his 136 being the Ives-Total, 400; average, 20.
 Spinks-Total, 154; average, ' 7-10.
