Must Stick to the Contract

Judgment was ordered entered by Judge
Allen yesterday in favor of the Southern
Pacific in the suit in which the company
was defendant and Augusta Behlow plain
tiff. She had granted a right -of-way
through her land for track on condition
that it should revert to her when it ceased
to be used for railway purposes. The main
line of the s. P. was changed later on, pas
sengers and freight going over another
route, but the company kept on using the
old track as spur leading to a gravel
pit from which supplies were drawn for
private use and the market. Mrs. Behlow
thought that the company no longer de-
voted the right-of-way to the purposes for
which 1t had been granted, and brought
suit to quiet title. The court was of the
opinion that the track is being used in
good faith, and as long as the conditions
Of the agreement between herself and the
railway did not require the latter to ope-
rate a main line through the land she was
bound by the grant she had made.

HEAVY ARTILLERY REGIMENT
It Will Accept Any Service Ordered by
the Governor

Colonel ]. N. Phillips regiment of coast
defense heavy artillery have about decided
to offer their services to the governor, to
be turned over to the federal government
for any branch of the service required.
The regiment was formed for the purpose
of affording the southern portion of the
state body of men drilled for heavy ar
1illery service, with a view of defense In
case of attempted invasion. Recent
events, however, have changed this deter
mination, and at a meeting of the corps
it was voted almost unanimously to proffer
the regiment to Governor Budd, to be at
his disposal for any branch of work, In
fantry, cavalry or artillery. There were
only fifty dissentient votes in the whole
regiment on this question, and most of
these, 1t Is believed, will be changed when
1t comes to the touch. 1t is said that one
of the officers of the organization Is now

sulting about the use Of the regiment. As

Complicated Church Case

M. Whistler, a religious gentleman who
breaches on street corners on Sundays, has
recovered judgment upon an injunction
bond in the sum of $50 against R. A. Hupp
Of the Holiness band. Hupp had instituted
a suit against Whistler to restrain him
from selling certain Holiness band church
property, and a temporary injunction was
granted. Later on Hupp dismissed the
action. Judge Allen subsequently found
that one of the plaintiffs in this action. the
Holiness band, was in fact the defendants,
that Is to say, that the defendant in this
action constituted the Los Angeles Holi-
ness band, and in SO far as the case of
Whistler against Hupp is sought to be
maintained by the band against the de-
fendant, it is an action of party against
himself There was no proof that the Los
Angeles Holiness band had paid out coun-
sci fees for the purpose of procuring the
dissolution of the injunction, but there was
testimony that Whistler had paid $50 to-
ward it.

JENNIE's TUMBLE
A Dry Goods Clerks Short Experience
In a Store After Receivinp Work

Mrs. Jennie Oberlander, formerly Mrs.
Max Botello, a young. dark-haired woman,
who walks with crutch, is the plaintiff
In damage suit now on trial before Judge
Shaw and jury, in which Fixen Il Co.,
q corporation. are the defendants. They
are the owners of the Chicago Dry Goods
house, 1S5 South Spring street. Mrs. Ober-
lander told how she had secured work at the
store on December 2, 1897, and reported for
duty the following morning. She was d.
rected to a door in the store, which led to
the basement, and, being unacquainted
with the construction of the stairway,
which was unlighted, fell down to the
bottom of the steps and injured herself to
such an extent that she has had to use a
crutch ever since. She asks for $40, ,O70 dam
ages.
The defense is that the stairway was in
no way different on the I'd of December Of
last year than it has been at other times,
either previously or since; was not imper.
fectly lighted or improperly constructed
and that the defendant had her eyes open.
If she fell down the stairs she has no one
to blame but herself. While admitting that

KELLY'S KAYOTES
Los Angeles Sharpshooters Will Soon
Have the Right to Parade

A meeting of the Los Angeles Sharpshoot-
ers, otherwise known as "Kelly's Kay
otes," took place at the armory of this or
eanization in the Orpheum building last
night. Capt. Allen Kelly, who presided,
announced that he was in receipt of pri-
vate letter from Governor Budd, granting
informal permission to the sharpshooters
to parade with rifles, and one from the ad
jutant general of the state, in reply to that
offering the services of the company to the
state, advising its commander to forward
the names Of the members, with their
sworn oaths of allegiance to the constitu-
tions of the United States and of Califor
mia, and that as soon as this obligation
reached him the formal permission from
the governor to parade with arms would
be issued. Private Edward K. Blades, who
is a notary public, was on hand to swear in
the contingent, and expressed his willing
ness to do so at once.
Capt. Kelly reported that Sergt Kilpat-
rick had designed and built the ranges and
put them in order for use, and he was of
the opinion that there were probably no
better ones to be found in the state. The
500-yard range, with shelter over it, would
be completed by Sunday. Trails had also
been cut and everything was in a most sat
isfactory condition. On motion, votes OF
thanks were fehdered the captain, the SER
geant and the other members OF the com
pany who had actively assisted in putting
the ranges in practical operation.
Private Louis F. Vetter, chairman Of the
finance committee, made his report. He
announced that, without importuning any
cne he. assisted by the captain, had al
ready obtained eleven $40 subscriptions
from prominent citizens who were in SYM
pathy with the organization. About $1,000
would be needed to pay for the range, the
drill hall and the ammunition. Without
almost any effort. nearly one-fourth of
this amount had already been secured.
He believed that the balance could be OBJ
tanned without difficulty. The sentimept
of the community was all right. He sug
gested that each member single out some
patriotic citizen with well-filled purse
and a big heart, and he outlined the way
by which to touch the latter and deplete
the former. There would be no need of
importuning any one, as all would gladly
sign the subscription list.
Capt. Kelly stated also that the company
of sharpshooters organized at Azusa was
desirous of being admitted into the Los
Angeles company. Other organizations in
this city had not taken active steps since
signing their rolls of membership, and he
believed that they would ask to come into
the fold. At the present moment the active
membership of the organization is eighty
eight.
Out of forty members who had tried the
200-yard range last Sunday, said the pre-
siding officer. WITH new guns and new
sights. nine had classified as sharpshooters,
the percentage having been fixed at 80 per
cent and over; while seventeen had been
classed as marksmen, with at least 60 per

have to hold it. God takes care of that" He was remarkable, too, for his early love of virtue. It is related of him that he did tell lie at one time, but was so punished for it that he never forgot it, and when, 30 years afterward, as bishop of Philadelphia, he visited his fathers home, he pulp licly thanked his father for the long remembered punishment. Barring this one fault, he seemed to have passed his youth and early manhood in innocency. A burning desire to de- vote his ministerial labors to the crowds of emigrants who were just making their way to the western world possessed his soul. He made his own way to New York, was ordained to the priesthood, and celebrated his first mass in St. Nicholas church, Second street, and almost immediately he was dispatched to the field of his labors, between Buffalo and Niagara Falls.
 The next few years were spent in the most laborious missionary work, ne- cessitating long journeys on foot in winter, as we'll as summer, over un- made roads, through heavy forests, hunting up his scattered flock-gath- ering the children for instruction in private houses, and where few fami
 lies were collected together building rude log church for divine service. During these years as secular priest he was working up to the limit of his energies. In his distant travelling he constantly carried his life in his hands,

frequently meeting with mishaps which, only for what seemed a provi- dential interpretation, would have caused his death. But whether 'per- ills from land or perils from sea or perils from false friends he was everywhere spending himself for the good of the scattered German fami- lies in the section of territory assigned to him. His hardy Bohemian frame, however, could not stand the strain of the long vigils, the constant fasting and the heavy labors.
 After doing effective work for eight years as Redemptorist father in building up the material as we'll as spiritual side of the church, he was appointed to succeed Bishop Kenrick in the bishopric of Philadelphia in 1852 Eight years later he died.
 In selecting certain persons for can onization, the Catholic church does so either because there are certain poli- cies which such a one stands for which must be emphasized for the good of the church, or there are certain virtues which stand out in his life which the, times need. The great lines of policy which the church has followed in the United States towards foreign-speak- ing peoples is to hasten their amalga- nation with the American natives as quickly as Is consistent with the pres ervation of the faith of the original emigrants. Certain efforts have been myde by European powers to keep alive spirit of nationality among us. Notoriously was this the case with the Germans when Herr Cahenshy was sent here for this express purpose, and while his efforts have been nullified by decrees from Rome, yet in certain quarters their spirit goes marching on." But Bishop Neumann in no sense stands for the spirit of nationality. While his work was in German and among Germans, yet he realized that 1t was just as impossible to keep alive the spirit of German nationalityin the free air of America as it would be to keep the snow of winter on the ground during the summer. Like many other hardeheaded bishops of his day, he realized what solvent the American nationality was, and that whatever was particularly German or French or Irish was to be melted down into a homogeneous mass to constitute the American nationality. He believed God was preparing on this soil peo- pie to be made up of the best elements of all nations which in the years to come was to be the chosen race to pos sess the truth of Christianity in It's fitness and to have the Ark of the Covenant in it's keeping.

In three weeks he began to feel little life in his arm; at the end of four he could move his fingers; at the end of two months he could walk, and in three months he could shave himself with the injured hand.
 As he told his story in the Herald office, he looked the perfect picture of health. He carries a box of the pills in his pocket and whenever he does not feel just right, he had given him up, and his de death was daily expected.
