SANTA ANA, March 3O.-City Attorney

HER PET CANARY
Small Girl Whose Life Is Tragedy
and a Continuous One

Down on Fourth avenue there is a small
girl whose life is tragedy-and contin-
uous performance, too. She told a good
natured old gentleman about 1t the other
day when he went into her fathers shop
to buy canary. A bird shop is a confus-
ing sort of place; and the old gentleman
wandered about in dazed near-sighted
way, listening to the proprietors account
of the virtues of each bird. Finally he took
fancy to an aggressive canary that hurled
torrents of musical defiance at his would
be purchaser. The owner Of the shop was
called away for few moments, and pres
emily the old gentleman became conscious
of scrap of girl who was looking at him
out of big, fearful eyes.
"Pieath, thir, buy another one, not thith
voice. Then it stopped in sheer fright.
whats the matter, dearie?" asked the
old gentleman, who had grandchildren at
home.
The ''dearie" was so distinctly encourage
ing that the child piucked up courage.
"Pleath( thr, buy another one, not thith
one"
"Why mustn't buy this one?"
The tears left the eyes and trickled down
either side Of an absurd little nose.
Its always that way" the forlorn little
maid walled. "Thutht ath thoon ath
love them real much thomebody comth
and buyth them. I'm tho tired Of get
ting uthed to new ones. Thith 18th the
nitheth one Of all, and 1 want to keep him
mythelf tho I do"
She put few inches Of soiled kerchief to
her eyes, and the canary shrisked his opin-
ion Of old brutes who made little girls cry.
"Why, bless my SOUL" exclaimed the old
gentleman remorsefully. "You do have an
awful life, don't you? Now, don't you
worry. I'm not going to buy this canary"
The woebegone face frightened, and she
smiled at him gratefully Then she re-
lapsed into gloom.

dismally.-New York Sun.

Riverside lettings

RIVERSIDE, March 30-The city SUPER
intendent Of streets began the work OF re-
pairing the asphalt pavements on the main
streets today. 1t has been down only about
two years, but it is estimated that 1t will
cost at least $500 block to put 1t even in
medium repair.
Only ten prisoners were booked at the
county jail during the month of March,
as against nineteen the previous month
-Four of this number were locked up on
charges of larceny, which crime seems
to be on the increase in this county. One
man was locked up to await trial on q
charge Of attempted murder. He was a
Mexican. The jail now contains nine pris-
oners.
The Indications are that the bidding for
the valuable franchise for electric road
rights over Victoria and Magnolia avenues
Will be spirited, instead of being confined
to one company as at first thought At
the meeting Of the city trustees held yes
terday, and while the franchise was under
discussion, Mr.. Shelley, one of the capital
lists Of the city, stated that he was quite
sure that there would, be others to bid Tor
the franchise besides the Riverside and
Arlington Street Car company, which COM
pany made application for the franchise.
A lease was placed on record in the re-
corders office today, whereby the River
side Water company leases to the Redlands
Electric Light and Power company the
water power on the upper canal Of the
company at East Riverside for a period
Of ten years at a monthly rental Of $500.
This is the same power which the old San
Bernardino Electric Light company made
use of for so many years and which 1t gave
up when this city went into the electric
lighting business on its own account
The Southern Pacific company, which has
had a large force of men at work here for
some months back, making improvements
to its tracks, has completed the bulk of
the work, and nearly the whole force of
men was discharged last night. The COM
pany has put its tracks in the best Of
shape, but as yet the construction of the
promised new passenger depot hangs fire.

RIVERSIDE, March 30.-The decision OF
Justice Chambers, before whom D. r. jack
son, the swindler, had his examination yes
terday, was against that individual, and
he will have to stand trial in the superior
court on the charge. Jacksons bond was
fixed at $1,000, and as he is not likely to be
able to give that amount, he will probably
spend some time in Jail here. Jackson, in
speaking Of his case today, stated that
he could easily give cash bond, II he
would only write to his people east, but
he added that he was too proud to do so
and would get out Of his trouble without

Will the American Race Die OutP

LIE Journal Statistique of the French So
ciety of Statistics has series of articles On
race mixtures. A recent number dealing
with the outcome of pure American mar
riages comes to the alarming conclusion
that the race cannot survive many CEN
turtles. 1t is pointed out that such mar
riages are resulting in steady diminu-
ton of the birth rate. The writer offers
the explanation that the American man
is so selfish and engrossed in business that
he does not care to be bothered with chill
dren in his home, and that another obvious
reason is 1.-The ideal of consumptive
beauty that Americans in search of a
wife have. But the base of the whole
matter, the writer goes on to say, is the
American form Of government. Democ-
racy produces individualism and the maxi
mum of personal development, and>vh IS
bad for the race. The numerical Aerease
of race is inverse proportion to the de-
velopment of individuals. America has this
alternative, If she would survive: She
must either give up the present democ-
racy or re-establish it upon scientific ba-
sis (which shall have been thought out by
savants, and not by sentimentalists.''

The Overriding of a Judge

A Judge the other day awoke in the night
to find his room in the possession of two
armed burglars. Covered by the pistol of
one of the marauders, the judge watched
the proceedings with his usual judicial
calm. One Of the depredators found
watch. Don't take that" the judge said,
"it has little value, and is a keepsake"
"The motion Is overruled," replied the
burglar. II appeal rejoined the judge.
The two burglars consulted and the spokes-
man then replied: 1.-THE appeal is allowed.

of the supreme court, that body is of the
unanimous opinion that the decree Of the

accordingly so ordered" Pocketing the

Prince Luigi and the North Pole

Prince Luigi, Duca degli Abruzzi is now
in Christiania comforting with DR.. Nansen
and laying his plans for journey into the
Arctic regions which, he trusts, may ex-
tend to the North Pole. 1t is reported that
he will either charter Nansen's vessel, the
Fran, or will have a ship built on her plans
and manned almost entirely by Norwegi-
ans. He expects to sail from Naples next
June, and reach Franz Josef Land in time
to establish elaborate winter quarters
there thence he will try to reach the pole
in the summer of 1899. The expedition,
which will be absent from civilization for
three years, will undoubtedly be the most
elaborate scheme of it's kind ever underta-
ken, for the promoters have millions at
command. Prince Luigi's father was
Prince Amadeo, the old Duca dAoste,
brother Of King Humbert. His first wife
was the wealthy Maria dal Pozzo della Cis-
terna, most of whose millions fell to Prince
Luigi. The prince, 1t will be recalled, made
a successful ascent of Mount st. Elias in

Vatican and Quirinal

II Osservatore Romano, which almost
holds the place Of official organ of
the Vatican, had sharp article of rebuke
of the italian government in recent num-
Der. The journal alleges that the officials
Of his holiness and those priests known to
be connected with the Vatican are openly
insulted, and sometimes stoned, in the
streets Of Rome, and no attempt is made
by the police to stop the outrage. The
journal referred particularly to the dis
graceful conduct of the students in the
Campo del Fiori the other day, and quoted
the law of guarantees by which the Ital-
ian government pledged itself in 1871 to
keep the person of the pope as invlolable
as that of the king. The Osservatore
says: "When some one, as was the case
in the Campo affair, expresses the hope
that the day of stoning the Vatican Is at
hand, he is allowed to say so by gov
eminent which, not only before the ma
ton, but before the entire world, has
formally undertaken to offer to the pope
in Rome a safe and honored seat. :.
A government that is afraid is one capable
of any cowardice, and cowardice is source
of the worst misdeeds, and yet people cry
out when the pope says that the position
assured him by the Italian government
is intolerable. The 1atlian government Is
careful to Justify his assertion"

duke, wishing to crafty the Russians

IN FOREIGN LANDS
Cock-Fighting in England

In 1856 cock fighting became illegal in
England, and before long the sporting gen.
try had to give up their idea of conducting
the battles of the pit contrary to law. 1t
has survived in Scotland. however, and
among the North English and the Welsh,
and now bids fair to enter into England
again as a gentleman's sport-the high
standing of those engaged in it precluding'
it is believed, an active revival OF the law.
The fights, it is said, will be held on gen.
tlemen's estates where it would be next
to impossible for the police to find convict
ing evidence TAe rules in vogue are those
of the Cockpit Royal, Westminster, which
in the days of Henry VIII. was SUBSIDIZED
by his majesty. The other day news came
to London of a most exciting pit fight in
Devonshire in which 10000 changed hands.
This would have been a mere trifie to the
gallants of King Harry's day. but at this
time it is significant. 1t is Well-knoWn
fact that game cocks are being bred IN
suspiciously large quantities in the coun-
try, and nearly every steamer arriving
from the Orient brings one or more con-
signments of the India bird. This COCK Is
said to be fast and sharp fighter; but he
must kill his English opponent in the first
two or three minutes if he would win the
battle. He lacks the staying powers char
acteristic of the English-bred bird. The
Derby family still preserves the breed of
the famous black-red cocks which won for
tunes for the late earls of Derby.
