Tv,a Nny Evil of Tea SlnOkins {,

phvsicians in various parts Of the coun-
try ranort an alarming growth of the tea
smoking habit Many of the victims are
women, but men are quite often among the
number. The habit is contracted by those
whose nerves are disordered, who can't
sleep. whose digestion is imperfect whose
liyers are out of order, who get the "bues'
and feel their strength departing. Tea
smoking excites the brain. and the result
Is general collapse. It seems strange that
sufferers from the above disorders should
not cure themselves with Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters. This is medicine which
whets up the appetite, regulates the bow
els. steadies the nerves and induces sound
sleep. Those who take II find that 1t cures
dyspepsia, and there is no bad taste in the
mouth in the morning, no feeling of weak
ness after the days work is done. 1t Is well
worth a trial.

BETTER TIMES COMING
Old Man Livingstone of Pasadena Will
Now Enioy His Property

Judge Clark in Department two of the
superior court yesterday granted leave to
Frederick Conant. administrator of the
estate of Mary A. Livingston, deceased, to
compromise the litigation now going on
between her surviving husband. S. w.
Livingston, and Elizabeth Wheeler. de-
ceased's daughter by a former husband.
Mrs. Livingston died in November 1897, at
Pasadena, and previous to her demise had
been up several times in court on proceed
ings brought by her husband, who was
unable to provide for himself by reason of
old age and infirmities. and whom the wife
refused to support. She was at one time
imprisoned in the county Jail for contempt
of court, because she refused to obey the
judges mandate that she must support
the old man.
Mrs Livingston, in order to evade the
order, had decided away her realty to her
daughter. but it was contended that she
could not do so so long as it was commun-
ity property. Be this as it may a higher
court settled Mrs. Livingstons mundane
interests in this sphere but left Livingston
very much perplexed as to the outcome of
his suit with the Wheeler woman.
However, the property transferred by
Mrs. Livingston in her lifetime to her
daughter has now been retransferred by
Elizabeth Wheeler to her mothers estate,
and the old man will al last be beyond want
during his few remaining years. The whole
estate is valued at some $40 900.

was led downstairs.
In the afternoon he was brought into the

Justice court, on a charge of battery. Mrs.
Lima Kohlman testified that the defend
ant came into her husbands saloon at the
Three-Mile house, on the San Fernando
road, on the afternoon Of February nth,
walked behind the bar, struck her an up
per cut on the chin with his fist, and
punched her three times in the stomach.
when she lost consciousness. The witness
said that when the constable came In ne
called out: You - -, am going
to fix you now!' and Immediately struck
her. 1t was developed that Hunter owed
the witness some $50 for drinks and lunches
since long time, and that she had told
him that unless he paid up his credit would
no longer be recognized.
Mrs. Kohlman told the court with con-
siderable feeling that she had never been
licked by her father or her mother or her
husband, and that it came very hard TO
receive a beating at the hands of man
whom she had befriended with meat and
drink, and who repaid his debts with blows
Mrs. Tony Craig saw the whole trans
action and corroborated the complaining
witness. Mrs. Kohlman, she said, tainted
after Hunter had struck her, and witness
and others carried her to bed in an un-
conscious condition. The water contained
in glass which Mrs. Kohlman had in her
hand was sprinkIed over Hunter as he
struck her, but whether she threw 1t in
tentfOnaliy at the 0e1endant or IL was
accidentally discharged in his face as she
tried to dodge his blows the witness could
not tell
Constable Hunter said he stopped in front
of the saloon with his buggy, being accom-
panied by young lady. He claimed that
when he entered the saloon Mrs. Kohlman
was drunk and that she threw water out
of glass in his face. When she made an
attempt to get behind the bar he grabbed
her. believing that she might throw beer
glasses at him. The only damage he did
was to try to prevent her from assaulting
him.
Mrs. Craig was recalled in rebuttal and
contradicted Hunter in all particulars.
She said that Mrs. Kohlman was not
drunk, but sober, and that the defendant
had no provocation whatever for his as
sault.
The court found that Constable Hunter
had gone there for the purpose of seeking
and adjudged him guilty of bat
terry as charged. Assistant District Attor
ney Williams called the attention of Judge
Young to the fact that Hunter is peace
officer and that the gravity of the offense
was increased by his position. Hunter was
fined $25, which he paid.
