Mr.. Blair, from his earliest years.
was always one of the hardest workers,
and always believed in hard work. He
never had any system about his recrea-
ton, but always managed, in connec-
ton with his work, to find enough out
of door exercise to maintain his con-
stitrtion in good order. Though of
large, well-rounded physique, he never
felt the need of eating much, and never
but the plainest of food. He was very
fond of coffee, but while enjoying three
or four cups of it, he never drank 1t
strong. He could sleep anywhere, and
rested better on the cars than at home.
In fact, during the most active years
of his life, he often spent more nights
in q month on the cars than at home.
Mr.. Blair never exulted over his sue
cesses, and never mourned his losses.
and always enjoyed hearty laugh.

food, drink, and almost every habit.

point in which they were unanimous.

WHEN BISMARCK WAS IN LOVE
Compelled the Hostile Parents to

Johanna Won Puttkammer was just
entering her 24th year when Bismack
fell in love with her and sought her
hand. Her parents were stanch Con-
seryatives, and as such they We're
strongly averse to any union with the
avowed representative of other
opinions, and forbade their daughter
to accept the advances Of her sutton.
But Bismarck refused to be thwarted
in any of his intentions, ana they found
that opposition was useless and even
dangerous. Finding himself repulsed,
Bismarck adopted a plan which met
with full success. Having been toSSf
that he would not be received if hep
called, he heard that Tire PuttkammerS
were to give a large evening party, to
which he naturally had not been in
vited.
Nothing loath, he made his appear

and offering his arm to Fraulein Won

Startled and stunned by this auda-

of mind to deny the engagement on the
spot, and later on they agreed to give
their formal consent rather than brave

these common proceedings have never
commended themselves to me, and,
fortunately, have been free to follow
my own more wholesome habits. When
I lived in London, in the Cos and 70

JUDGE AND LAWYER DISAGREE.
Has the Former the Right to Dis
 bar the LOtter2

Has Judge of the Superior Court the right to disbar an attorney? This Is a question that will have to be settled by the Supreme Court within the next few days It was raised yesterday by an ap- plication by ex-Judge E. V. Spencer for a writ of prohibition to restrain Superior Judge F. A. Kelly of Lassen County from pursuing contempt of court proceed ings against the petitioner. short time ago the Matthew Haley estate case was before Judge Kelly, and Spencer made a motion for a new trial. Accompanying his motion was an affidavit, which he filed, setting forth that he believed that the Judge had been influenced and inn properly persuaded in favor by counsel for the opposite side. Also that w. N. Goodwin, the counsel referred to. had ar gued the case before the Judge in pri- Vate and in the Judges chambers, so that a fair presentation of the matter was not had.
 This affidavit aroused the anger of Judge Kelly. and he cited Spencer to ap- pear before him in court on February l and show cause why he should not be disbarred. The attorney does not propose to submit to any such proceedings, and he filed petition for writ of prohibit ton. He contends that the Judge of a Superior Court has no Jurisdiction in dis barment proceedings; that no cause for dsbarment has been shown. and last that Judge Kelly has no jurisdiction inas- much as he cannot assume the dual posi- tion of prosecutor and Judge of the case

The proposed reduction of the nosta, carrier service in this city and otherwise crippllng the postof1ce department was one Of the principal subjects of discussion at the meeting of the Merchants Asso- citation yesterday. The proposed reduc- tions were bitterly opposed by the mem bers. AS result. the following resolu- tions were adopted and the secretary i'm structed to forward copies to the Post master General and the California mem bers of Congress:
 Whereas, Information reaches us that there may be some failure on the part of Congress to appropriate sufficient mon eys to meet the present wants of the DOS tai service; and, whereas, we believe ha ing our belief upon personal Knowledge and reliable information, that failure to provide sufficient funds to meet the needs of the service will necessitate cer- tain reductions and curtailments which m our Judgment, would be detrimental to the interests of this community and moi compatible with the times; and whereas It IS the belief of this body that the DOS tal facilities of the country should be in- creased rather than diminished; therefore be it

CLENBEIGH ATE
 POISONED MEAT
What Dr. Greedy Found in the Stomach of the Famous
 Pointer.
Howard Vernon Is Now Hot on tn, Trail of the Poison
 Fiend.

Members of the Pacific Coast Field Trial Club and the sportsmen who wit messed the trials at Bakersfield just com pleted, regret very much that the fam ous pointer, Glenbeigh. which was poi soned few days before the commence ment of the trials. was not alive when the all-aged stake was being contested.
 AS already stated in The Call. there were not few people who thought that some unfair means were taken with the object of disposing of the grand old dog, and 1t goes without saying that If the mscreant who poisoned champion Glen beigh be discovered he will be given ex- cellent cause to remember the field trials of 1898.
 It is a well known fact that the sheep men who cast out poison for coyotes on the plains of Bakersfield use strychnine because of it's nasty action.
 Those who secuted the idea of the dog having been poisoned by some wretch who was bribed for that purpose by men of interruptions and degraded minds will be surprised to learn that chemical analy- ses by pr. Greedy and MT. Harrington have disclosed the fact that the dog was stated that it may be half an hour or two hours-according to quantity-after the dog had partaken of the meat before he would have shown symptoms of poi soning.
 Howard Vernon, who was the owner of Glenbeigh, intimates that he has a line on the man who poisoned the dog and that if he can obtain the proof he is now in quest of a grand expose will re- suit. which may duplicate people who are now above the remotest suspicion.
 Dr. Greedy has stated that he found one single piece of poisoned meat in the stomach of the dog, and Chemist Bar rington. who had also analysed the stomach, reported that he found four large pieces of poisoned meat
 Vernon fairly idolized the dog He will spare no expense in bringing to justice the person or persons who had committed such dastardly act. The remains of old "Glen" were placed in a coffin and buried within close proximity of Yer mons residence. The skin is being mount ed by a taxidermist.
 Many of the sportsmen who were pres ent at the trials did not hesitate to say that Glenbeigh alive and well would have added fresh laurels to his large number Of victories by winning the all-aged stake. His son, Alec c, who is a counter part of the past champion of champions. won the derby in hapdsome style and should have been honored with a place in the all-aged stake.
