steam from the boiler into the
flames, thereby saving the boiler
from exploding. Mr.. Odum
thinks that be can have the grist

the City ". J. =. galloway.
This is case IN which John T.
Galloway, who runs the Monte
yuma saloon, is accused Of opcrat-
ing billiard and pool tables in an
adjoining rOOn15 as private prop
crty, and hence not subject to
pay license on the same. The
city cOntenGcd that said opera
ton cid rot cone within The
meaning and operation Of Ihc law.
The case WAS bcgun under Mayor
BuIIOCk'S adminlstrat ton, but as
1t was agreed between City At
torneY Alfred and y. T. Green
for the defense 10 submit briefs
instead of oral plcaGings, Mayor
Bullock did not rule On The case
but turned it over Ia Mayor
Campbell, who rendered his dccis-
ION this morning, which was that
Mr.. Galloway was anenable to
the law as lie adiudged it after
Wadlng through every authority
submitted by both attorneys, and
fined him ;22 80 and costs. The
case was appealed, which required
a bond double the amount Of the
fine and costs.
.. Il. Green submitted a plea
OF seven type written pages,
which would fill about two col
umns of the Evening Star. The
substance IS that the pool tables
as operated are the private prop
crty of Mr.. Galloway, and as
such, under the law, he can invite
in all Of Marion county to play on
them, if no charge is made for
such use, no matter If a bar did
stand in full view.
He gave Webster's definition Of
the meaning Of the word ''pri-
vate,' and an ingenious and
learned dsquisition Of themeaning
Of said. term as applicable to using
said tables by an inn keeper or
SalOOnist. He also defined the
law and felt cOnfiG ent he made
out his case, quoting much au-
thOrity and asked the case to be
dismissed.
The city attorney was equally
positive the ciGy had q case, and
also quoted high legal lore, show
ed the city had acted within the
meaning Of the law, and the city
ordinances were IN no way con-
fllct with the state statute.
Both pleas are interesting and
instructive reading, (and the
Star regrets it has not space to
give them) but the opinion Of
those who read the briefs is that
the city attorney rather got next
to his distinguished legal oppo-
nent, who enjoys very high po-
SitiOn before the Ocala bar for
extensive reading and profound
learning in the science Of law.

to foreign corporations, which require them to file certified copies of their articles of incorporation with the sec retary of the territory, etc.
 ''These insurance companies are re- quired by this special law, not only to act under the authority of the ter ritorial treasurer, but report to him each year and pay him certain per centages, one and one-half per cent of their gross income; this being the case, it would be unreasonable and unjust to attempt to compel them to deal with another officer of the terri tory as to the same matter. In other words, this special law requires in- surance companies to make returns and receive certificates of authority from the treasurer of the territory. They, therefore, could not reasonably be held to be governed by the acts concerning such corporations gen erally.
 'I therefore conclude that it is not necessary for fire insurance companies organized without the territory to file articles of incorporation with the sec retary of the territory and perform other acts generally provided, but that strict compliance by them with the special law is all that the legisla- ture intended to require of them and ir my opinion, all the courts would exact from them"

on which 50 900 Russian troops crossed the Russian frontier.
 The civil war occupies a unique po- sition. The north issued neither acc claration to the south nor manifesto to neutral nations, because from be- ginning to end they claimed that the southern states were rebels, and con sequently that there was no war, put merely a huge insurrection. This po- sition, however, considering the war votes of the senate and the proclama- tion of blockade was scarcely defensi- ble, and both Britain and France rec ognized a state of war by issuing pro- clamations of neutrality.
 The most notable instance in the present century of a formal declara- tion of war being made before actual operations were begun was that of the Franco-Prussian war in 1870. In this case the declaration was almost forced, as the French, who were the aggressors, voted large war credits on the 18th of July, and on the follow ing day the French minister returned to Paris. A formal intimation of hos tile intentions was then sent to Der lin and laid before the parliament of North German confederation of the 20th of July.
 Thrice has Servia followed the an cient custom. In June, 1876, and again in December, 1877, she declared war before attacking Turkey, while in 1883, she sent an orthodox challenge to Bull garia, which was cordially accepted with all due formality.
 With the exception of these in stances none of the wars of the pres ent century have been preceded by such courteous intimation, of hostile intentions, and when war next breaks out it is likely to come ''as bolt from the blue,' as sudden as it is unexpect- ed.

HE WAS RATTLED.
Side-Tracked in Quest Of a Marriage
 License

Some men over whom the fate of matrimony is impending grow nervous. rattled and incapable of reasoning. For instance, yesterday stranger sneaked into the office of the city re- corder and stood around uneasily. What can I do for your" asked Col
 Jobs. "Oh, nothing, I guess.' replied the stranger; that is, I-eh-wen, nothing just now" looking at another man sitting by, in a manner which indicated that he was in the way.
 The stranger fidgeted for awhile, and again attracted the attention of the recorder, who looked up and asked. Do you want to see MT. Long?" Who's he?" inquired the stranger. "The city assessor and tax collector, I" replied Col. Jobs; you don't want to pay your taxes, I suppose?" "No," re- piled the stranger. The recorder went on writing and the stranger winked at the third party, indicating that if he'd go out after drink he would give him the money to pay for it. After awhile the recorder looked up from his work and observed with surprise that the

stranger was still standing, nervouslv playing with his hat Did you want to get a dog tag?" he asked. "Hain't got no dog" replied the stranger. Five minutes later the recorder asked if inc stranger might not want to pav his water tax, perhaps he would like to take out a quarterly license for some thing or other. At the word, license D the stranger blushed and grew brave. T don't want quarterly license :" said he, "but I want license for all time" we can't make 'em out that way" said the recorder; ''the ordi- nances provide only for issuing li- censes quarterly beside. I should think the shorter the license the better it would suit you''
 Here the stranger grew indignant. "This is nothing to joke about, my friend" From his subsequent re- marks the recorder understood that a marriage license was what was wanted. "Oh!" said the recorder, you can't get that here. Neither I nor the blacksmith nor the harness maker nor anybody but the probate judge is authorized to issue marriage licenses. The probate judge is at the court house, second door to the right"
 The stranger went out and the third party moment later took his feet off the recorders table and also went out, following the stranger at safe dis tance to the office of the probate judge. After the matrimonial aspirant had transacted his business and gone away the third party looked at the book in which the names of these victims are enrolled and so learned the name of this particular victim and also that of his companion in woe.

FIRE INSURANCE COMPANIES.
The Law With Which They Are Re-
 Quired to Comply.

Territorial Treasurer Johnstone late Iy addressed an inquiry to Attorney General Frazier regarding the long mocEed question of the obligations Of foreign fire insurance companies doing business within the territory. It was not clearly understood whether they should be compelled to comply with both the general law applicable to all foreign corporations and the special law relating to fire insurance compa- nies, or with only the latter. The attorney-general replied yesterday as follows:
 Your note inclosing inquiry of H.. c. Boyd, assistant general agent Ham burg-American Fire Insurance com pany duly received.
 "The question presented is: Do the general laws of the territory of Arizona apply to foreign fire insurance com panies as well as the special law? Or, in other words, a special law having been passed by the legislature of the territory concerning foreign fire in- surance companies, upon compliance by it with the special law, is it still compelled, after so doing, to comply with the general law with reference 50 foreign corporations?
 Tt is contended on the one hand, that after such fire insurance com pany has complied with the other pro visions of the special law, and filed with the treasurer, a statement show ing, first, the name and locality of the company; second, amount of capital stock; third, capital stock paid up; fourth, the amount of it's accumulation assets and liabilities; fifth, surplus a' to policy holders, together with 2 written agreement with reference te agent, service, etc., paying the terri toriaI treasurer his fees, and receiving a certificate of authority from the said treasurer of said territory, that such company must, in addition to the compliance with this special law, com ply with the general law pertaining tc foreign corporations, and file it's ar tory, and with the county recorder ir the county where its business, pursuit or occupation is proposed to be To- eated.
 ''On the other hand, it is contended by companies doing business in the territory, that when the special law is fully complied with pertaining to for eign companies, that it is not incum- DenC upon Cnem lO COIuply WiIu IHe general law.
 By sections 257, 25S, 259, 260, 261 and 262, in order for any fire insur- znce company, organized without the territory, to transact any business o1 insurance in Arizona, it must obtain q certificate of authority from terri toriaI treasurer, and perform all of the acts specified above and enumerated tho caofinpc referred tn
 ''I am clearly of the opinion that the laws relating especially to fire insur- 1nce companies in these sections, con- templates that the territorial treasurer is the officer with whom such com panies must deal, and that it was not the intention of the, legislature to in elude foreign fire insurance companies tn those statutes, generally applicable

A WORD OF ADVICE.
To Those Coming to Alaska or the
 Klondyke old Fields.

One thing should be impressed upon every miner, every prospector or trader coming to Alaska, to the Klondyke, or the Yukon country, and that is the necessity for providing an adequate and proper food supply. Whether pro-
 cured in the states, ill the Dominion or at the supply stores here or further
 on, this must be his primary concern Upon the manner in which the miner has observed or neglected this precau- tion more than upon any other one thing will his success or failure depend These supplies must be healthful and should be concentrated. but the most careful attention in the se1ec- tion of foods that will keep unim- paired indefinitely under all the con- ditions which they will have to en- counter is imperative. For instance, f as bread raised with baking powder | must be relied upon for the chief | part of every meal, imagine the help l lessness of miner with a can of | spoiled baking powder. But only the very best flour; it is the cheapest in the end. Experience has shown the | Royal Baking Powder to be the most reliable and the trading companies l now uniformly supply this brand, as others will not keep in this climate. Be sure that the bacon is sweet, sound and thoroughly cured. These are the absolute necessities upon which all must place chief reliance, and can under no circumstances be neglected. They may, of course, be supplemented by as many comforts or delicacies as the prospector may be able to pack or desire to pay for.-From the Alaska Mining Journal.
 A book of receipts for all kinds of cookery, which is specially valuable for use upon the trail or in the camp, is published by the Royal Baking Powder Company, of New York. The receipts are thoroughly practical, and the methods are carefully explained. so that the inexperienced may, with it's aid, readily prepare everything requisite for good wholesome meal. or even dainties if he has the neces sary materials. The matter is in compact, though durable form, the whole book weighing but two ounces. Under a special arrangement. this book will be sent free to miners or others who may desire it.

Capt. Duncan Brought Before Civil
Court in Vii ginia.

Fairfax Court House, Va, Aug. 81
Capt Louis N. Duncan, formerly assist
ant surgeon of the Twenty-second Kan
sas Regiment who is confined in jail here
under an indictment for desecrating the
graves of Confederate soldiers on the
Bull Run battlefield, was brought man
acled from the Jail to the courthouse at
noon today. and Judge James N Love
fixed the amount of his bond at 81, 100.
The court stated that it took cognizance
of the action of the court-martial before
which Capt. Duncan was tried and con-
victed of the charge of desecrating the
graves, and therefore the bond was made
light. Capt. Duncan's counsel, Mr. c. v.
Moore, stated that il was the intention
OF his client to give a trust company
bond. and the court stated that such a
bond would be accepted. Capt. Duncan
expects to have the bond arranged in the
next few days.
The prisoner looks careworn, and ap-
pears utterly cast down at his incarcera-
ton. He declares himself innocent of the
charges and the action of the court-mar-
tial, he thinks, should have sufficed to
acquit him on civil grounds
His trial will occur on the first Monday

on the charge under the laws of Virginia
Is five years and the maximum ten years.
