Her course led her from boarding house to boarding house in this city, with trips to her rela- tives in Oakland, Stockton, Healdsburg, Eureka and Ferndale.
 To MT. Hosmer she said she first met Cunning in the autumn of lS95-she thought in September. At the time she was living at 227 Bush street. She did not know where Dunning was living and did not learn until some weeks later She told of the meetings with him at various places, but usually at Ingleside race course. Off and on between the betting he left the ring and chatted with her. Shortly after, in response to an invitation. he visited her at her apartments one af- ternoon and stayed about an hour. He then extended an invitation to her to dine and shortly after she accepted. They went to Delmonico's and had a private dining room upstairs, where she said thsy re- mained the usual length of time required to take a meal and converse-about an hour or an hour and half altogether. The witness said she was frequently out with him during the years 1896 and 1897 and dined frequently with him. She did not recall the restaurants, but they were always cheap ones after the first splurge, and she said she paid for them more ire quently after the first time than he did.
 She acknowledged to having been in the waiting room of the Hoffman House cafe and also in the Hamilton House, Oakland. The latter time was while she was in her

EIy's Patriotism.

A good story-whether there be any
truth in it or not-was told Vir-
gilman reporter last week by travel
ing man who had just come from Ely.
He said the night previous he regis
tered at of Ely's popular hostelries
after visiting some of the merchants
he returned to the hotel. He was
somewhat amazed to find the lobby
filled to overlooking with enthusiastic
young men who wanted to go to war.
Realizing that there was good OPP
portunity to test their bravery he
quietly slipped out of the hotel COM
municated his scheme to a friend and
returned. Shortly afterward mes
senger boy appeared and asked for
Mr.. recruiting officer.
The ''officer' tore open the message
and then turned to the young men be
said Il am recruiting officer and have
here telegram which instructs me to
enlist any and all good. sound, able
bodied men who desire TO go to the
front and strike blow to free Cuba. y
The joke worked like charm. The
young men suddenly paled and then
all made break for the door. The
next morning the travelling man said
there was a scarcity of clerks and
book-keepers at the various business
houses and that latest reports were
that all had gone prospecting for gold
in Canada.-Virginian.
We would in all kindness ask the
travelling man to change his drinks
and quit the shuttle board. Ely has a
company of hundred young men who
have signed their names and are pre-
pared to go to the front at the next
I call for men. The young men the
travelling man has reference TO were
at the hotel prepared to enlist, having
heard that a recruiting officer was tt

The Ore Freight Case.

Attorney General Childs was asked
about the ore freight suit. He said
that he could do nothing until the
companies had filed their answer. Mr..
Childs seemed very positive as to
what the outcome would be so far as
the commissioners were concerned.
There is no doubt that the commits
sioners have perfect right to regu-
late the rates, as the roads are state
corporations and the lines entirely
within the limits of the state. He
said the holding in Interstate cases
would have no effect on this case, and
if the evidence could be given the
commissioners that a 40-cent-a-ton
rate on ore TO the lake was sufficient,
it would be so fixed. When the ans
wer is filed the attorney general said
he would give the case close and care
full attention.
Mr.. Childs was satisfied that there
were good grounds for the ipeople to
complain of the combination of rail-
roads and he believed the state would
regulate the rates in its borders with
out any hesitancv. He looked for an
early hearing in the Mesaba range
case and expected the people to win
out.

The iron trade has not regarded the
declaration OF war as any reason TOT

trary some vigorous buying has gone
on in the last week; not in consplc-
u,lnsly large orders, but in steady
filling of requirements that indicates
confidence in the stability of'buSineSs.
1t is realized that if buyers and sell
lers act on their knowledge OF the
inherent strength OF the situation
rather than the disposition toward
pessimism that often shows itself in
lines of agitation. there will be no
serious disturbance OF industry.

There may be this characteristic OF
the business in iron and steel for the
next month or two, as distinguished
from the market in the past SIX
months. Purchases may not reach so
far into the future. The fact that
reouirements for a considerable por-
ton of the year have been covered in
so lines will help to give stability to
the market. and as short-time pur-

generally left off with a steady tone on
light recessions in value. No outside in

transacted most of the business, COM

the week. No liqui1ation Of Importance
was noted today, except in a few lso-
lated cases, including Omaha and New

The stock market for the week in
most cases has resulted in fractional
decline. The favorable factors in the
situation outnumbered the others, al
though the disturbing features were re-
garded as of greater importance. Among
the grave affairs in the situation from
the speculative standpoint, were the
New England cotton strike and the pos
sibilities in China, Cuba and the con-
sideration by the senate Of the Teller
resolution.
The bond market for the week dis
played a striking degree of strength in
special cases, which embraced linens OF
companies operating the Pacific North

Some interest was attached to the
