STATE SUPREME COURT
 CONGESTED WITH WORK
Superior Judge York of Los Angeles Suggests a Scheme for
 It's Relief.

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13.-The State Supreme Court has become so congested with work that a scheme has been srg- gested by which the labors of the Justices may be frightened. Judge York of the Su- perior Court of this county has given much thought to the subject and has em- bodied his ideas in a bill which will be introduced at the next Legislature. By his plan the work in the Supreme Court will be specialized. with the result of economizing both time and labor. His plan is the eliminating of Supreme Court Commissioners and making department decisions final, which will do away with the consideration of the same matters by commissioners and justices other than these specially charged with their con- sideration. In other words, such mode will prevent the same identical work being gone over more than once without any compensation.
 The most important point, too, will be the reduction in expenses. Under the present mode there are seven Justices and five Commissioners. Each Commissioner receives the same salary as Supreme Court Justice, but under the proposed amendments there would be ten Justices and no Commissioners With an increase of work the Legislature would have power to add another department with three ad- ditional Justices, but even then the num- Der would never exceed the present nggre- gate of Justices and Commissioners by one and years would elapse before the ne cessity for such increase would Justiry the Legislature in making the addition.

VOORHEES,, GENEROSITY.

The late Senator Voorhees of Indiana was a person to whom a story Of want and suffering rarely failed to appeal, and, when so touched, his hand usually went to his pocket. However, his gen. erosity was not infrequently at the ex- pense Of his friends-as many stories still told of him go to illustrate, says the Chicago Journal
 The Senator and an old friend, Colo nel w. R. Hunter, who, previous to his death two years ago, was one Of Ierre Haute's best known citizens, were en- gagged in conversation on a street cor ner in Terre Haute one day when a thin, i'll dressed man, bearing all the marks of the under side of life ap- preached and called Mir. Voorhees to one side. He then told the Senator a story of hard luck; of his failure to se- cure work, and his physical inability to work if he had it; of a family with nothing to eat, finally winding up with a plea for assistance.
 A sympathetic look overspread his hearers face
 Why of course, my poor man." the Senator replied, heartily. He reached for his purse, but it was not about him. Then one after another he ran through his pockets. but could not find cent.
 Here, Hunter he said, turning to his friend. give this man $5 for me"
 With something approaching grunt, for he weighed but little less than 300 pounds, Colonel Hunter drew out well filled wallet and rendered the suppli- cant s5 bill. The man thanked both Senator Voorheees and Mir. Hunter and hastily slowed the money away in a pocket-which was the last the colonel ever saw or heard of his $5

THE KA1sER,s BIG SOLDIERS,

"The tallest man in his army" who accompanied the German Emperor in his visit to the East, is a grenadier named Chiemke, who is nearly feet 10 inches in his stockings. This Frederick William mania of the Kaiser is an old device of his for impressing the for eigner. On returning from his first visit 10 Constantinople in 1889 the Elm peror sent the Sultan a complete set of kettledrums, which he intrusted to the taIlest officer in his army, Lieuten- ant Pleskow, who is very little, 1T at all, under feet. Once indeed, when this Prussian guardsman looked over a seven-foot garden wall and asked girl picking gooseberries therein what was the way to so-and-so, the simple maiden told him to ride first to the right and then to the left, and he would find the place he wanted. The nymph had honestly fancied that an officer overpeering her garden wall ike that must necessarily be on horseback. London Chronicle.

Bv Thursday the entire Second Army Corps will have left for the new camps in the South Three regiments started to- day and three more will go tomorrow.

CONVENTION WORK VARIED
TEMPLE MATTER WILL COME UP
 TO-DAY.
A Lively Contest for the National Presidency-Seattle Favored as the Next Place of
 Meeting.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

ST. PAUL, Nov. 13.-ThiS was quiet day among the W. c. T. U. delegates so far as convention work was con- cerned A number of delegates filled local pulpits, both morning and even ing. But one session of the convention was held, Miss B. w. Greenwood, worlds and national superintendent Of the evangelistic department, preaching at 2:30 at the Peoples Church. The temple matter and election of officers, which promises so much excitement Monday and Tuesday, were kept as much in the background as possible for subjects in which all are interested. The temple matter is due to come up late Monday afternoon, when Mrs. Ma tilda B. Case, the founder of the tenn pie, will make her report on it and seek to overcome the adverse decision of the executive committee on the subject.
 The polling of delegates continues ac- lively and everybody is confident or winning. A very lively contest Is promised, the first move probably be- ing an attempt to secure a secret ballot. Friends of the temple believe they can gain most by such course, because of the timidity of some of the delegates. The general opinion has been that Mrs. M. N. Stevens, vice president at large
  posed in her candidacy for the place made vacant by the death of Miss Frances E. Willard, but several other candidates have been announced. Mrs. Martin H. Durham of Iowa. one of the temple trustees and now State .presi- dent of Iowa, is a prominent candidate, and her friends hope for help from the friends of the temple. Another promi- nent candidate is Mrs. G. B. Forbes, State president of Connecticut.
 Mrs Stevenson's resignation leaves the position of corresponding secretary vacant and a number of prominent workers have been mentioned for the office. There is little canvassing being done, and Miss Anna A. Gordon, for merly Miss Willard's confidential friend and secretary, seems to be the most prominent in the field. There seems no reason to doubt that the other of ficers will be reelected. The place of the next meeting has not yet been de- cided upon, but it is probable that it will be Seattle. There are number of Eastern cities that have invited the convention to meet in the East, but the general sentiment seems to be in favor of Seattle

LOSES ABLE STAFF OFFICERS
TROUBLE WITH INSURGENTS IS
 BREWING.
It Will Be Difficult to Get the Ma jority to Disband-Cooler Weather and Less Sick
 ness at Santiago.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

SANTIAGO, Nov. 13.-Captain War ren, an American who has been with General Gomez, says the General will no longer have Americans about him and is getting rid of them as fast as possible He takes the same course in the case of Cubans suspected of favor ing annexation to the United States. The result is that some of the best men who were long attached to his immedl- ate staff are not now with him. It will be difficult, Captain Warren believes, to get a majority of the insurgents to dis band His idea is that when the Amer ican authorities get control of the other portions of the island, they should give out no rations and punish severely all thefts of cattle and produce He thinks, too, that there may be some trouble with the insurgents because of their in sisting on the right to courtmartial de- linquents among themselves.
 There is very little serious sickness among the troops here. Everybody Is improving with the cooler weather
 It is estimated that no fewer than 1S.0O0 people in this section are learn ing English, in addition to the school children.
 The greater part of Marina street Is now macadamized. This improvement is to be extended throughout the entlre city, in place of the ancient cobble- stones.
 The United States revenue steamer Manning is now here with Captain Shoemaker, chief of the Revenue Cut ter Service. who came to investigate as to the need for a vessel for Collector Donaldson. Captain Shoemaker be- lieves that Collector Donaldson's re- quest should be compiled with.
 Owing to the heavy weather, the Manning, instead of the converted yacht Hist. will be placed at the dis posal of General Wood, commander of the military division of Santiago, for his trip from Guantanamo along the northern coast of the province. The Manning, with General Wood, will probably leave on Tuesday.

MURDERED MANS BODY
 FLOATING IN A LAKE
Evidence of 8 Crime Found in a Body of Water Near Santa
 MOOica

SANTA MONICA, Nov. 13.-The body of a man with two bullet wounds in the left breast was found this morning floating in Ballona Lake. Joe Teagle, keeper of the Recreation Gun Club grounds, discovered it. The authorities were notified and the body brought to Guidinger's undertaking parlors, where it awaits Identification It is that of a man about 40 years old, 5 feet 10 in height, weight probably over 2o0 pounds. dark complexion, dark mustache, hair tinged with gray. slightly bald headed man looks like an Italian. He was attired in gray underwear, black striped trousers, blue hose, tan shoes, without coat, vest or shirt.
 The body may have been thrown from passing ship and drifted to where 1t was found Possibly the man was a hunter camping in this vicinity.
 That 1t was not an accidental shooting is certain from the manner in which he was clothed, and 1t is impossible that the wounds were self-inf1icted. There seems to be no doubt that murder has been com mitted The body seemingly had not been in the water more than two or three days. Several parties claim to have seen the man on the streets here recently, but no one has given any cleW to his identity.
 There is evidence of a severe confusion on the side of the head. Whether this was received before or after death will probably be determined at the inquest, which will be held tomorrow morning.

SEEKING BEAUTY.

Caroline Otero, Cleo de Merode and several other famous Paris beauties have disappeared utterly from sight. This IS not startling, however, for in France, where beautiful women take themselves seriously and cherish their good looks, it is quite customary for them to seclude themselves occasionally to repair the ravages of time, sun and wind. For eight or ten days they are not at home, even to their closest ac- quaintances.
 The retirement usually occurs after a summer at the seashore and before the winter gayeties begin. Freckles on milky skins. tan and roughness-all these must be got rid of. Experts in massage and beauty doctors fit in and out of the rooms of madame and there are baths of milk and cologne, coatings or mysterious oils and creams which remain on night and day, and stories

EVIDENCE OF INTENT TO
 DISABLE THE BUFFALO
Sensational Facts Are Leaking Out From the Board of Inves-
 tiCation

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-A Newport (R. I) special to the World says: Notwith- standing the unusual secrecy sought to be maintained by the court of inquiry now on board the cruiser Buffalo Investigating the recent disabling of the warship, enough has leaked out to warrant the be- lief that her condition was not due to ac- cident but to design. A man who IS in a position to know the truth says:
 ''The injury to the machinery of the Buffalo was discovered last Monday and reported to Commander Hemphill. There was evidence that her sea valves had been tempered with, and a sailors 'ditty- bag was found stuffed in one of the con- densers, rendering it practically useless. There Is no doubt that the cruiser had a to believe that the dissatisfaction of the crew had much to do with the alleged ac- cident. The sailors are known to have held the Buffalo in adherence and to have referred to her frequently as a hell ship. ''

PRESIDENT PRAISES
 CALIFORNIA TROOPS
Thanks Governor Budd for the Splen- did Showing Made by This
 State During the War.

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 13.-Adjutant General A. W. Barrett has just returned from Washington with check for sS3, 311 O5. drawn by the United States Gov ernment In payment for transportation, equipments. quartermasters and commis- sary stores furnished to the California Volunteers by this State. California has the distinction of having been the first State to obtain a settlement with the Government, due chiefly to the fact that the accounts of California were in splen- did shape. vouchers accompanying each item charged the Government, thereby saving long delays in having the, claims adjusted. The other States had their papers returned two and three times for correction.
 The general called on President Me Kiney by appointment, and the President told him he wished to thank Governor Budd for the splendid showing made by him during the war with Spain in the matter of getting the troops in to the volunteer service. and for the excellent troops from California, particularly the First Regiment. at Manila.

ANNOYED BY SILVER.

The Archbishop of Canterbury is sim gular among the roll of English Pri- mates for his hatred of pomp and dec oration. Once, when the guest of a country gentleman, he was much an noyed by the display of silver candle sticks in his room. After his Lordship's departure these silver candlesticks were nowhere to be seen. The dis tressed clergyman at once wrote to the Bishop, as he then was, telling him of his loss, and adding. Gan you tell us what has happened?" The reply came by wire: Poor, but honest; look in the chest of drawers"
 This Is not the only silver adventure in which Archbishop Temple has been concerned, says the London Outlook. On another occasion he was put up by a clergyman during the absence of that
