THROWN FROM HIS HORSE.
Judge Garfield of Santa Barbara
Fatally Injured.

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 3. - Judge
Robert B. Garfield of this city was
thrown from his horse early this
morning, and it is believed by his
physicians that he cannot live
While out horseback riding his
horse was bitten by dog and be-
came unmanagable. After going a
short distance from his residence, he
returned and called to Mrs. Garfield,
asking her to call the dogs away, they
having followed him. She had no
sooner got to the front entrance when
one of the dogs bit the animals hind
leg, causing him to kick and throw
Judge Garfield to the asphalt pave
ment- He fell on his right side and
head and it is thought that the animal
kicked him on the head. AT $50 o'clock
to-day he was still unconscious, and the
physicians express little hope of re-
covery.
Judge Robert 3. Garfield came to
Santa Barbara early in the '70's, and
entered the practice of law. Some
years later he became Superior Judge
of this county. He has been for fifteen
years leading attorney for the Southern
Pacific Company. and President of the

REOoRDUNIoN, SACRAMENTO, MONDAY DEcEn1BER 4 1899

by twenty years of experience in vari-
Gus grades, and as Postmaster OF a
large city, was selected, though he
did not even know that his name was
under consideration till he was invited
to the responsibility. With force thus
constituted the organization Of the
postal system of Cuba began. There
was only slight and imperfect basis
in the existing service. 1t became nee
essary to build from the foundation.
The condition of things is indicated in
the fact that when our representatives
took possession of the Havana Office
over 1000 registered letters, addressed
to accessible people in that city, the
accumulation of three or four years,
were undistributed and undelivered.
1t can not yet be definitely deternin-
ed whether the postal system will be
self-sustaining. The initial expendit-
ures in providing offices and material
have necessarily been large and will
not be repeated. The service IN Porto
Rico and the Philippines was organ
lied on the same general lines
The free delivery OF mails In the
rural districts has proved to be one OF
the most important among recent de-
velopments of the postal service, and
presents in it's possibilities a question
of the largest possibilities. 1t will in
crease postal receipts, making many
of the new deliveries almost immediate
ly self-supporting. 1t will enhance ths
value of farm lands reached, and bet
ter prices will be obtained for farm
products through more direct COM
munication with the markets. 1t means
improved means of travel, some hun
dreds of miles of country roads, espe-
cially in the Western States, having
been graded specifically in order to OBJ
tain rural free delivery. 1t means high
er educational influences, broader CIR
culation of the means OF public mtell-
gence, and closer daily contact with
the great world Of activity, extended to
the homes of heretofore isolated rural
communities.
To justify itself it must be accom-
panied by the discontinuance OF some
fourth class offices which will become
superfiuous, and by revision OF star
routes which will be rendered unneces-
sary.
The 1.26S lines of travelling Postofices
in operation on June 30, 1899, aggre-
gated in length a distance of l7I,I44s
miles. The. services of $3.50 clerks
were required to operate these lines,
who, in crews, travelled l9o,o29,l4z
miles.
The privilege of free registry OF mall
matter by the executive departments
having been somewhat abuseu in the
past, the department is now making
an effort to remedy the evil.
A step toward the popularization OF
the registry service is to be taken by
authorizing letter carriers in cities TO
accept and register mail matter at the
door of the householder. This idea has
been very well received and gives every
promise of successful operation and OF
adding considerably TO the revenue Oh
the department 1t is intended to ex-
tend gradually this increased facility
in registering to the farmer and his
family by permitting rural letter car
riers to register matter.

AVALON PEOPLE TROUBLED.
Their Town May be sidetracked for
New One.

LOS ANGELES, Dec. 3-The people
of Avalon, who for time thought the
Bannings were running bluff on them
in threatening to establish new town
at the isthmus, and thereby side track
their village, have become seriously
alarmed. Now they have become con-
WINGED that they have about killed the
goose that laid the golden egg and they
are seeking to avert the impending dis
aster. Believing that the Bannings
really intend to abandon Avalon and
take therefrom all the free attractions
that the transportation company in
stalled there, Avalon people are trying
to see what can be done. They have
asked the Bannings to reconsider their
determination to move everything to
the isthmus. But the Bannings are shy.
The Bannings have said to the Avalon
people that if the islanders will lease
every inch of their property to them,
SO the company may control the town
without fear of any individual property
holders renewing the clamor for free
port, then perhaps the attractions may
remain at the village on Avalon Bay.
The Avalon property owners, alarm
ed over the prospect of the place be-
coming a deserted village, are willing
to concede anything demanded, a out
there may be one or two that will still
hold out, and even that trivial minor
ity may circumvent the wishes of the
majority, for the transportation COM
pany declares that the surrender must
be absolute. In the meantime theS Ban
nings are going right along with the
new town at the isthmus. All the wor-
rying is Being done by those Avalon
people that hoped to admit competitive
companies and still retain the good
things that had been provided by the
monopoly.

SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 3.-The
transport Grant arrived yesterday
from Manila, after an eventful voyage,
being four days in typhoon. While
lying off Iloilo she was under fire for
some time and Captain Baker nearly
lost his life while watching the opera
lions of the rebels. He was standing
close by his cabin door when a Mauser
bullet buried itself in the woodwork
within few inches of him. A few
of the bullets struck the ship in various
places, but most of them either fell
short or went overhead.
The Grant was anchored within half
mile of the shore when she was fired
upon. Two companies of the Eigh-
teenth Infantry had engaged a detach-
ment of native riflemen, and, deplpy
ing, scattered them through a cocoanut
grove on the beach. 1t was a hot
skirmish. and the Filipinos, following
their usual tactics, took advantage of
all the cover offered 1t appeared from
the deck of the Grant that many of
them were lodged in cocoanut trees.
They noted the men on tn transport,
and the sharpshooters soon directed
their efforts upon the steamer. The
bullets fell like hail until the regulars
drove the natives out of the grove and
back into the interior.
The transport Warren sailed for the
Philippines at 2:30 o'clock yesterday
afternoon with the headquarters, band
and two battalions of the Forty ninth
Infantry. The colored boys appeared
to be very happy over their departure
for the front, and danced on the deck
and sang as the transport left the
dock. Just before the lines were cast
off an old lady with a big bag full If
apples appeared on the deck and pelt-
ed the soldiers, much to their own de-
light and the amusement of their
friends on the dock. The remainder
of the Forty ninth will sail on the
transport Sherman, which is booked
to sail on December 9Th.

In Southern Brazil is a little bird
that comes as near to holding regu-
lar hoe down''-a minstrel song and
dance-as it is possible for birds to do.
1t is called the dancing bird by the
natives. 1t is a tiny blue bird with
red crest. Mornings and evenings
a score or SO on a smooth, sandy or
gravelly spot-or, at least a spot that
is free from grass or any obstruction.
Then one of the males hies to a twig
somewhere overhead, and begins sing
ing in the jolliest jig-jog voice imagin-
able; and Immediately the birds begin
to step to perfect time with the song,
and twitter an mpaniment, and,
more than that, move their wings in
time with the music as they step about.
Akin to this dance is one where there
is but a single dancer on the moor at
time. The bird is known as the ruri-
cola, or cock of the rock-also a Bra
lillian bird.
Like the little bluebird it selects a
smooth, hard l1oor as its dancing place,
and there must lie plenty of bushes
about, for it does not seem to like spec
tators. About this kind of platform the
birds gather, some on the ground and
some on the bush. Then all sing, except
floor, and there leaps and gyrates in d
most comicai fashion until exhausted,

Judicial Error With a Purpose

for business, and determined to make
an example of him. Just as the attor-
ney was climbing over the rails of the
dock into the court his lordship called
out:
"Jailer. one of Your prisoners is es-
Gaping. Put him back"
Back the attorney was thrust, and
the following colloquy ensued:
My lord, there is a mistake here 1

II am very sorry, indeed" said Lord
Norbury, Ito see one of your profession
in the dock"
But, my lord, I am innocent"
Yes, they all say that was the
Judges reply. "A jury Of your own
fellow-countrymen must settle It"
But, my lord exclaimed the now
desperate man, there is no Indictment
against me-"
Then said his lordship, you will
be put back, and if no one appears %

public proclamation at the end of the
