LORD COLERIDGE'S UMBRELLA
 DECISION

The law as to umbrellas was settled once for all by Lord Coleridge in a leading English case. His lordship held:
 Umbrellas, properly considered, are a part Of the atmospheric or metero- logical condition, and, as such, there can be no individual property right in them In Sampson vs Thompson, de- fendant was charged with standing on pla1nt1f's front steps during a storm and thereby soaking up a large quan- tty of rain to which plaintiff was en- titled. But the court held that the rain was any mans rain, no matter where 1t fell. It follows, therefore, that the umbrella is any mans umbrella. In all ages rain and umbrellas have gone to- gether. and there is no reason why they should be separated in law An um- brella may, under certain circum- stancesEthe chief of which is possess sion-take on the attributes of personal property, just as if man set tub and catch quantity of rain water, that rain water will be considered as his personal belonging while it is in his tub. But If the sun evaporate the wa ter and it is rained down again. or if the tub be upset and the water spilled. then the attribute of personal owner ship instantly disappears So if a man hold his umbrella in his hand it may be considered a personal belonging. but the moment it leaves his hand it re- turns to the great, general. indivisible, common stock of umbrellas, whither the law will not attempt to pursue it."
 So far as we know there has never been successful appeal from this de- cision.-Chicago News

MAGUIRE AND BELLY" MASON.
Washington Capitol.


 Mason is a sort of story-tellers' magnet. Anecdotes cluster about him like iron | filings about lodestone One reason for tnls IS that he has always something to say. There was that episode of HIS with the hotel clerk. Some men would nave been embarrassed after an encounter of that kind, seeing their names in all the papers which clipping bureau can get hold or Mason wasn't; not a bit. He met a newspaper man not long afterward ana ana when the newspaper man asked him how he came to get into that sort of scrap he said tha Senator Cullom had been attracting so much attention lately With his dog fight that it seemed about tune Tor some other Senator to have chance at the public eye.
 Lately he -.aS been winding Congress- man Mcguire of California up in his tahsle or anecuote Congressman Mcguire IS IS, snort, lat, rly-haired and looks rather like Mason. Not long ago a man collared him, metaphorically, of course. in the corridor, and said:
 Can 1 have a minute with you? There's to help me about.
 Mcguire said he didn't remember any, thing about it.
 @This is in reference to that-that position you were going to help me get," went on the stranger.
 Mcguire said that he did not think he had ..Ih ever met his interlocutor.
 job for my brother-in-law and bailed out my nephew, and
 Ihen a hght. began to dawn on the Call1ornian, and he said: II am Congress man Maguire of California. You will find senator Mason at the end of the hall.''
 About three minutes after he met a newspaper man, to whom he told his tale, ana said that as near as he could remem- Der that was the twenty-nintn man who had mistaken him for Senator Mason and wanted help of some kind or other. And they all said that the Senator had prom lSed them help, and acted most confidently that he would give it to them-nol con- ndent in that insistent bold whistle-to- keep-you our-courage-up kind of way, but conndent as people are when they have good friend whom they know and on whom they can depend. But it strikes me that If there are any men whom Senator Mason really does not want to see he might use Mcguire very nicely as an understudy and 1t also occurs to me that before Mcguire understood the state of the case there may have been people who thought that Mason, in spite of l4is cher uplc air Of innocence and good will, was Dr. Jekyll and MT. Hyde character, who was one thing one minute and an other the next, and could not in the least be trusted.

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 SACRAMENTO, April S.-The pattern storehouse of the Southern Pacific Com pany. large three-story building on 1 street, between Front and Second, was entirely gutted by fire tonight. The loss is practically ncalculable, being estimated at anywhere between s200 0G0 and $l,0OO 900.
 All of the patterns used in the railroad shops since they were first built, except those being used in the foundries at the present time, went up in the flames, and to duplicate any article of molding now In use will necessitate the making Of new patterns from the drawings on file in the office of the master patternmaker. There were at least 600 patterns In the bulld- ings, and all were consumed.
 While the origin of lne fire IS not known with certainty, it is believed to have been started from the heating pipes which ran through the building. It is estimated that 1t would take twenty men twenty-five years to duplicate the patterns destroyed.
 It is extremely propable that the JOSS of the patterns will cause big lay-oH Tn the shops, as molders cannot possibly work until patterns have been made.

 Colonel Miles was seen at Presidio headquarters yesterday afternoon. In reply to inquiries he said that he had received no orders directing the regi- ment to change station, but remarked in response to further questions that he had been in telegraphic communi- cation with General Shafter. but added that no orders had been received direct from Washington. He said all the of ficers in command of stations were provided with cipher codes and that the cipher was used in transmitting orders of an important character
 In regard to the readiness of the reg iment to move Colonel Miles said: 'The regiment is ready to move at once. We could start within four hours after the receipt of orders, or at least as soon as rations could be issued. Every thing else is in readiness. Should the order come tonight the regiment could leave on the train tomorrow morning for any point designated. We may be ordered away from here any time, but I can hardly believe that the First. which Is the only regular regiment of infantry in this department, will be ordered away from the Pacific Coast"
 When asked as to the ability of a National Guard regiment to perform guard and other garrison duty at the reservation Colonel Miles remarked that the State troops could perform this kind of service
