receipt.
Mr.. Miller is keeping house in a
snug little fat on Van Ness avenue.
Mr.. Fedris, his manager, is allowed to
enjoy with the star the delights Of
home life. Fedris, who is an unusually
stalwart and handsome chap, thinks
equally as well of Miller as a house
keeper as an actor.
TT is not only the 'rarebit, said
Fedris, ''it is the chops. A trifie smoky
when he gets through with them, but he
eats them and l know he relishes them" :"
In the Miller fiat, however there is
other cooking than that which is done

reputation for several tempting petit

Jules said his master when he went
through the trying ordeal of engaging
him, Il know you fellows always want
the lime light to follow you about and
insist that the spot that marks the CEN
ter of the kitchen be sacred to your
gifted personality only. That will be
all right-when I'm not around But
when the goddess of the cuisine calls
and you see me coming with the cheese
you will exit r. IL !.
Jules knew he was face to face with
the truth in art, and bowed in humble
acquiescence.
The little fiat that is to be the
already taken on many features indfca-
tive Of the personality Of the master.
It Is spick and span and neat.

artistic atmosphere is round 1t every

AN ANNOYING TANGLE.

u TTORNEY GENERAL FORDS recently
| \ submitted opinion that the office of Commis-
soner OF Public Works has no longer legal
existence brings to light another evidence OF the
careessness with which legislative work is done at
Sacramento and the careessness in this case is the
more annoying because it may compel a cessation Of
river improvement at time when it is urgently
needed
1t appears from the record that no doubt can exist
as to the intention OF the Legislature to continue the
Office which under the original act terminated March
I. The act which was sent to the Governor however
and signed by him. was not identical in form with that
which was passed by the two houses of the Legsla-
ture The Attorney General holds that the defect
vitiaes the whole act and consequently that the Office
has apsed.
A test case on the issue will of be promptly
made up for submission to the Supreme Court, and
it is fair to presume early hearing and decision
will be given by that body. In the meantime, how
ever it is probable the Board of Public Works will
have to suspend operations In fact, H J. Corcoran
member OF the auditing committee is reported to
have said: The auditing committees hands are
tied and not step further in the direction of
river improvements be taken until the Legsla-
ture meets and passes act creating the office ="
Mr.. Corcoran takes perhaps too hopeless view of
the situation Where legislative enactments are
frequently construed them according the plain in
tention OF the trainers, and such a course may be
taken by the court in the present Should such
be the decision of the court the cessation of the work
of river improvement would be for shorter time
than Mr. Corcoran fears and the wrong done to the
State by the careessness OF the officers of the Legis
ature would be less than he supposes
The incident serves to point the familiar
moral of employing competent and faithful clerks for
the performance of all the clerical work of the legis
stive body 1t has been the custom to make the dis
tribuon of clerkshps and offices of all kinds in con-
necton with legislative sessions the spols of party
politics The persons chosen as attaches are hardly
fit to do anything except the lower sort of cam
paign work. They take their positions at Sacramento
payment for past services and rarely think of Civ
ing any earnest and careful service there The conse
quence is that bills shufhed and huddcd along
from one House to apother and from the Legislature
to the Governor without much regard for accuracy
Thus, unless the legislators themselves keep close
watch on measures in which they are interested
bunders almost certain to be committed In the
present case the blunder annoying one under the
best terms that be made of it. and may prove TO
be costly in the extreme

SHERIFF. ISRAEL RENovATIoNs
Trustees Decide to Spend $4,000 On
the Synagogue.

Extensive alterations Will soon be made
in the Sheriff. Israel Synagogue, corner Of
Post and Taylor streets. The entire he
terror will be renovated and some aGdt-
tions made at a cost of $1,000. 1t has been
the intention of the trustees for some
time to make new synagogue of the
present one, and work viii be com
menced in a few weeks.
AT first it was decided to build a new
synagogue in another locality, but after
canvassing the matter fully the plan of
renovation was at last adopted. The choir
box will be enlarged, the naves and walls
refrescoed, the pews reupholstered. and a
general overhauling of the interior will
transform the synagogue. While the al
terations are being made services viii be
held on the first floor. 1t is expected that
two months will be consumed in making
the proposed changes, for which time the
choir has been given vacation.
