IN THE POLICE COURT
Pearl Eastwell Wants to Go to
the Farm.
WAS JUST LIKE A WOMAN
Mabsrs Talking Cost Her Double Fine.
She Was Accused OF Frequenting
Saloons-Morphine Fiends
Are Sent to Jail.

Judge Terrell of the police court yes
terday received a letter from Pearl
Eastwell, one of the unfortunate VIC
Tins of the morphine habit arrested
a few days ago for vagrancy, in which
the woman appeals to him to have her
sent to the poor farm or to release her
and let her get out of town. The ap-
plicant for clemency evidently thinks
that because Judge Terrell has shown
mercy in the past, he has established
a precedent, and there is no reason why
he should not keep it up. The letter
reads: s4a1
County JAIL Feb. 10, 1s9s.-Judge
Terrell: Dear Sir-Your honor will
pardon me for addressing you, but
am very i'll, in fact, I am not able to at
tend my trial, and, judge. if twill
please your honor, I would like you to
send me to the poor farm or send me
my release, for by SO doing, you will
perform an act of kindness. You need
not be afraid to do so, for I was work.
ing at the time of my arrest and was
on an errand for the sick, and also had
money of my own. Judge, your honor,
you have discharged me more than
once and I do hope you will this time.
If you will, I will go away and be a
good girl. Yours obediently,
PEARL EASTWELL.''
Judge Terrell had a varied assortment
of trial day cases before him. One was
that in which a woman. known as Miss
Mabel was charged with frequenting
saloons. She was woman whose ap-
pearance and conversational powers
betrayed former refinement and fine
education. When asked what she had
to say for herself, she rose and address,
ed the court in eloquent terms and
using very choice language in an appeal
for leniency. Judge Terrell evidently
thought there was no excuse for a wo-
man of Miss Mabels endowments run
ming around saloons at night, and
doubled the usual fine. making it So
Instead of attaining her object, the wo-
man literally talked herself into a
heavy fine.
Leopold Block, the vag, whose hearing
had been, put off several times at his
own request to enable him to make a
raise to get out of town, was up yester-
day. He told the court if released he
would go home. get married, settle
down and be somebody. AS he had al
ready been in Jail probably longer ,tl.an
he would probably have been sentenced
for had he pleaded guilty in the first
place. his case was dismissed.
Bessie Lindsay and Belle Clifford, two
of the morphine fiends arrested with
Pearl Eastwell, were before the court
Bessie testified she was not vagrant
but kept house for James Lindsay, who
was no relation and who paid her reg
ular salary. The man Lindsay took the
-tand to corroborate the statement and
The Anaconda standard. [volume] (Anaconda, Mont.) 1889-1970, 1899-02-11

he added that Belle Clifford lived at his
house also. Prosecutor Little drew out
the confession that the witness house
was a shack with two small rooms.
Judge Terrell apparently took very lit
tie stock in the story and sent Bessie to
Jail for 10 days and Belle for 30.
William Maus, the plumber, so fire.
quently arrested for doing business
without license, has decided to fight
what he regards as the persecution of
the city authorities. He appeared be-
fore Judge Terrell yesterday and for
the purpose of carrying the case to the
district court, made an admission that
he was doing business without license,
but said he had been granted a IL
cense which the city authorities had
illegally nullified. He was fined $25 and
gave notice of appeal.
John Kenney. the nervy beggar, who
abused Chief Flannery of the fire de-
partment a week or so ago because
the chief declined to give him money,
was sent to jail for 80 days. The case
against John Arnold for leaving team
unhitched was dismissed. I. w. Smith
was fined $15 for assault and battery.

tants, including infants, are. seized
with colds, from which before they had
been free.
When DR.. johnson and Boswell were
making their tour of the Hebrides this
fact greatly interested them. one SO,
luton of the puzzle was that the VeMei
brought liquor, and that it was ints1-
perance and the jolity and CONSEQUENT
exposure which caused the epidemic.
Another explanation was that the snip
could only reach the land when me
wind was from the northeast, and that
the wind and not the strangers caused
the cold. But both explanations have
been shown to have been worthless, TOR
the epidemic has broken but when the
ship did not bring liquor and 1t has
also broken out when steamers made
the island with the wind not north
east. This cold is still characteristic
of ST Kilda, and it is called by the in
habitants the strangers cold" On
the arrival of the first steamer every
summer all the island folk fall victims:
afterward many of them escape. The
attack lasts eight or 10 days. The in
habitants affirm that if the ship comes
from Liverpool or Glasgow the cold is
more severe than if from the Hebrides.
Arctic experiences, together with
those of st. Kilda, confirm the guess
made by modern medical science, that
cold, like other disease, is resultant
from some germ, and that 1t is an
infectious disease prevalent only where
man, perhaps only civilized man, exists
In favored spots like st. Kilda, it quick
ly becomes extinct and must be rein
troduced. 1t you'd seem, too. that the
infection Is generally carried by human
agency, and it is noteworthy that some,
at least, of every ships crew or pas
sengers must take it with them when
they go aboard for apparently every
ship which reaches st. kllda brings
the cold.

Notice to Architects and Property owners

AS it has been customary for archi
tects and property owners to award the
painting of a building to a building
contractor, on fair estimates which he
has received from reliable painting
contractors. and the building contrac-
tor having been granted the contract at
fair estimates WILL in most cases, sub
let the painting to the lowest possible
bidder. In this way the building con-
tractor realizes an inactive profit, also
creates the chest possible competition,
which means ne very lowest grade Of
work. Therefore,. we contend that
building contractor has no right to in
terfere with painting contracts and on
and after March 10, 1885, the members
of Painters and Decorators local union
No. 20 (No. 80 W. l.. ID will refuse to
work on any building the painting and
decorating of which has not been
awarded to painting contractor direct
from architect or owner.

YELLOW FEVER UNKNOWN
Philippine Climate Far Ahead OF
the West Indies.
RAINY SEASON is OVER
Harry E. Blanchard Says There Can Be
No Fault Found With Climatic
Conditions Barbarous
Spanish Customs.

Harry Z. Blanchard, son of Mrs
troop l. of the 4th United States caval-
ry in the Philippines, writes from Ma
Mia as follows:
THE best season of the year is now
here, and the weather is all that can
be desired. December, January and
February are usually pleasant months
here. The rainy season is over and sick
ness is now decreasing among the SOL
diers. About two weeks ago the cav
airy We're moved, some three blocks
from where we were. The building we
occupy now is built entirely of bam-
boo with a matched roof of native
grasses. 1t is strictly waterproof. 1t
is very large, has good floors and is
well ventilated and accommodates ali
our troops, giving plenty of room. 1t is
wonderful how the bamboo is utilized
in this country. The natives build
houses make furniture, such as chairs,
beds, etc. In our barracks the doors
are woven from stripes of it, also the
windows, which raise and drop, being
fastened a the top. The building has
many peaks and gables in the roof, but
sheds water like a ducks back but
the most striking thing about it is. there
is scarcely nail, or piece of iron. in
the whole structure. The posts and
joists are all connected by being dove
tailed and secured by wooden pegs, and
all beams adjusted in like manner.
The reason for keeping
such large number of soldiers here is
the Filipinos. They are instigated by
the Spaniards against the Americans
and they are very restless, as they do
not know what is to become OF them.
They are so accustomed to bearing
arms and carrying on a guerrilla war
fare. they do not like ito settle down to
quiet, everyday life. There are several
factions Of them. Aguinaldo has his
followers, and other ambitious leaders
have theirs, and the different. leaders
do not always agree. Then there are
other bands, whose chief aim is pillage.
and robbery. All these outfits will have
to be policed, sooner or later, if civili-
cation is ever established here. AS near
as l can determine, the pleasures of
the Filipiros consists in their 'fiestas'
and cockfights. The 'fiestas' occur very
frequently and usually on some saint S
day. The biggest one of the year comes
on December "a and 25. 1t is called de
Pascual. Cockfghts occur every Sun
day, beginning in the morning and last
ing all day. They have large bam-
boo buildings that will hold eevera
hundred people, where the natives car
ry their fowls and have their fights 1t

Nearly all day Thursday in this city

zephyrs of spring We're about to spread
their soothing influence over the field
of disconsolation. But alas and alack,
it was only drean-a midwnter fam

snow, and the indications are not at
all encouraging. The storm has set in

wave direct from the northeast.
All Thursday night, yesterday and
last night it showed. and at times the
wind drove the granulated ice clear
through the men who had business in
the direction from whence the wind
came. The very brief warm spell put
the roads in excellent condition for the
fresh layer of snow that followed and
now the sleighing is perfect.
The snowfall in Butte is a tame af-
fair in comparison with that of the val
ley and Anaconda, where for depth it
breaks the record of several preceding
years. Six or seven inches is the limit
here. while it is two feet or more in the
places mentioned.

mistakable evidences of fierce struggles

An Awkward Combination.

In some parts of Germany it is the Gus
tom to send congratulatory kilograms TO
friends at distance who are being mar
ried-that is, the message is timed to ar
rive just after the ceremony and during
the feast which usually follows. A GER
tain farmer was about to be married. and
shortly before the time he heard that one
OF his cattle had strayed. 1t being val
liable animal, he told his bailiff to let
him know at once when it was found.
The bailiff, being an economical man,
combined the two affairs, and the happy
bridegroom received the following mes

Striking Illustration of the Theory on
r.sr the Island of st. Kilda.
From the Des Moines Leader
In view of the present tremendous
demand for handkerchiefs it will doubt
less surprise some to learn that there
are places where grip or colds come
not, and it may surprise such still more
to learn the latitude of these favored
regions. They are not the happy ISL
ands of the West. which swing under
tropic skies nor where "the gardens Of
Gull wax faint in their bloom" On
the contrary, by a strange paradox,
where colds are not Is in the region of
cold. For example, Nansen and his
men, during the three years they spent
in the Arctic regions, never caught a
cold. The members of the Jackson
Harmsworth expedition, who were three
years on Franz Josef land, never once
felt grip, although suffering extremes
of hardship and often sudden transit
lions in temperature. Other Arctic
travellers have uniformly brought back
the same story, yet these men almost
invariably, as soon as they return to-
civilization, are attacked by furious
colds. In the land of the North, away
from the haunts of men, there is no
cold to catch-the old phrase being
better science than was for long time
believed.
There is a classical instance which
further verifies the generalization to be
drawn from the experience of Arctic
travellers. 1t was what is known to
readers of Samuel Johnson's Tour Of
the Hebrides" as the ST. Kilda cold.
st. Kilda is a rocky, lonely island, ly-
ing some 40 miles beyond the western
Hebrides. On it are about 100 inhabi-
tants, who keep few sheep and COWS,
cultivate the interstices of the rocks
and collect the eggs, feathers and young
of various sea fowl. About the island
the seas are SO stormy and the coast
is so precipitous that for eight months
in the year it is practically inaccessible.
Formerly St Kilda was visited only
once a year by ship from the main
land, although now several call during
the summer. The fact of interest
about St. Kilda is that. whenever a
ship reaches the island all the inhabi-

Judge c. w. Wright this morning re- turned from Phoenix, where he pre- sented the legal side of the Santa Cruz county bill to Governor Murphy. The governor, he says, at first told the committee which went from this city that they had let the matter go until the last minute. when they expected him to shoulder the whole responsi- bility Of the controversy.
 Governor Murphy said that he would consider carefully the legal side of the matter and Judge Wright proceeded to point out what he terms the crudest legal proposition ever presented to an intelligent people, The governor asked Judge Wright to explain the matter to the attorney general, which he did, and here the matter now rests. The argument presented by Judge Wright is convincing, and there is every req son to believe that Governor Murphy will veto the bill as soon as he has fully considered it.
 Judge Wright was interviewed by a Citizen reporter this afternoon. He said:
 This bill provides" said Judge Wright, that the board of supervisors
 
 the board of supervisors Of Pima cOun- ty at Tucson; that when they agree upon diverse details, then the entire present indebtedness of Pima county shall become the sole indebtedness of Santa Cruz county, to be paid for in twenty-year bonds of the latter draw ing interest at the rate that the debt they represent draws. Ten per cent of these bonds become due in ten years after their date and thereafter ten per cent is paid of the remaining amount each year until all are paid.
 This after a careful examination of the bill, is it's legal effect, and the re- suit will be that until the two boards unanimously agree upon the many de- tails to be submitted, Pima county re- mains the sole debtor, and when they agree, then Santa Cruz county as sumes the entire debt. That the bill was so intended no one can believe. but that it is so nevertheless, is clearly true.
 Under these circumstances it is safe to say that the board of supervisors of Santa Cruz county will never agree, and therefore the bonds of Santa Cruz county will never be due. Tucson Citizen.

Mercantile company. This statement is not e>- actly correct At the time the Good Templars left the hall everything was in order and no water running. In fact, no water had been used turing the evening. The manner in which the water was subsequently turned OBJ is a mystery, and is possibly traceabie to defective plumbing.
