CRUELTY is THE CHARGE
THREATS OF MURDER CITED
BY PLAINTIFF.
When He Was Ill His Stepch1loreh
Amused Themselves Throwing
Boxes, While Nephew
Played the Piano.

If the various allegations of William D
Townsend, the candy man of note, are
based on fact, he committed grleVous
error when he married his present WlIe
and took into his home her four children
by a former husband. Suit has been filed
in the Superior Court by Mr.. Townsend LOT
divorce from his wife on the ground OF
cruelty, mentally inflicted, and several
specific charges are set forth, which from
the complaint it is obvious the plaintln
believes to have been well prepared
schemes to deprive MIN of his constitu-
tional right to be happy.
In introduction of his complaint, Mr..
Townsend alleges that he married his
wife, Olivia K. Townsend, October 10, 1888,
and took into his home her four children.
Since that time she has been cruel to d
marked degree her most common mode
OF punishment, however. being to hurl
opprobrious epithets at plaintiff to his
grievous mental suffering.
Continuing, the plaintiff says that OF late
he has been in poor health. and after re-
turning from his factory would try to rest
While so trying to rest in his room, his
four stepchildren would appear upon the
scene, and they would throw boxes and
other objects at the ceiling for hours at
time, causing Mr.. Townsend great mental
suffering After the children had tired
match, nephew of Mrs. Townsend would
take UP the labor of annoying the plain
tiff and for hours would play the piano.
Requested to desist, he and Mrs. Town
send would retreat to the garnet over Mr..
ToWnsends room and amuse themselves
throwing boxes and other objects around
which made a great and unbearable
noise 'all of which acts contributed to
the grievous mental suffering of the
plaintiff
Again Mrs. Townsend would charge her
husband with infdelity without cause, it
is alleged, and charged him with consort-
ing with "chippies' who labored in his
factory. Again she would threaten to
kill him, suggesting poison as the means
of murder, in consequence of which Mr..
Townsend says that further residence
with his wife is dangerous to his life and
would add to his already grievous mental
suffering.
Oakland, plaintiff further alleges, with
whom his wife is wont to visit for weeks
a a time, never coming near him to give
him the care he needs to his failing
health Mrs Townsend, plaintiff says, is
constantly harasSing him for money for
herself and relatives, and threatens, in
event he does not produce all she desires,
sends credit for her needs. The evil in
fuence of the sister Is in a measure re-
sronsible for the trouble, it is alleged, but
Mrs Townsend threatens to kill the plain
tiff if he makes an attempt to evlct her
and other relatives who call and con-
tribute schemes to add to his woe. All in
all, if the allegations are based on fact,
Mr.: Townsend, when at home, is between
the influence of his Satanic Majesty and
the deep sea, and hence he seeks re-
lief in never ending separation.

THE MONUMENT TO DEWEY.

y EFORE the present week closes the subscrlp-
X tons to the Dewey monument fund ought to
- reach the 900 mark. Reports given at the last
meeting of the committee show that nearly 10000
have been already subscribed, and with that amount
to build upon the contributions to the enterprise
should rapidly mount upward to the sum required to
carry out the undertaking upon the scale that has
been designed.
Rarely has any undertaking in California received
a warmer or more general approval than has Deen
given to this From end OF the State to the other
the words OF commentator have been spontaneous
and cordial Even in the East the subject has been
favorably commented on and due appreciation
shown OF the fitness OF San Francisco as site for
commanding monument to the admiral whose great
victory has given the United States dominant pres
tige on the Pacific Ocean
1t is not the design OF the promoters OF the move
rnent that the monument shall be the gift OF few
rich men, It is intended to stand for ages as mani
festation OF popular regard and admiration tor the
hero and to its construction therefore all classes OF
citizens are invited to contribute. The sum OF $780,
ooo though considerable is not a large one to be
raised in a commonwealth rich and SO populous as
California Nearly one-third OF 1t has been already
subscribed and vet the work OF collecting contrbu
tons has hardly begun.
As the people OF the East began to collect con-
Washington for Dewey about the time that the
California movement started to erect monument
to him in this city there is something OF rivalry be-
tween this State and the populous East which
will the speedily and the more effectually &C
complish its work California at present has a good
lead and the chances will have the entire amount
needed in sight long before the East raises than
hall OF what is aimed at there.
There should be delay in making contributions.
There is nothing in the situation to any one
to hesitate. The direction and management OF the
enterprise in good hands, and sufficient to
virtually guarantee the success of the movement has
been subscribed Every feature OF the patriotic I'M
dertakng gives therefore the public that
money contributed to the fund will be promptly ap-
piled to the purpose for which it donated There
is not to be any of that long delay that wears out
popular interest in public enterprises. II the con-
tributions are given in promptly they should be
the erection Of the monument will be matter OF the
immediate future.

THE KILLING OF seq LIONS.

Y order from Washington suspending the
I \ authority given to kill lions along this
coast is by no means creditable to the officials
at the capital 1t argues absence OF anything like
clear knowledge OF the subject and implies will
ingness on the part OF the officials to comply with
whatever is desired by the last parties who have the
privilege of addressing them. On representations
from California authority to kill hons was granted,
but before the killing had well begun certain Eastern
sentnentalists object and the authority is recalled
The subject has been thoroughly discussed on this
coast All classes of persons having any kind OF ex
pert knowledge of the matter, from fishermen to
scientists have taken part in the debate, and every
feature of the problem has been we'll considered The
conclusion has been that the existence of such large
herds OF sea lions off the has been prejudicial
to our fisheries and that the general good demands
dminution in the number of the herd. 1t was
therefore upon good and sufficient that the
authority to kill them granted, and that being
So it is not easy to see how there be any
whatever for revoking the authority SO speedily.
At the present time the Government is expanding
a good deal OF money to increase the salmon supply
of our waters and to protect the fisheries from IN
Jury The Federal officials have been actively aided
in the work by the State Commission, and their joint
labors have resulted in much good While the COM
missions are working to protect the fish, the sea
any check upon the unlimited increase of the number
of sea lions is therefore about absurd it would be
to protect wolves in community where try
ing to develop sheep-raising industry.
1t is gratifying to know that prompt protest
against the order of suspension has been forwarded
to Washington calling the attention of the Secretary
CT the Treasury to the facts that large expense has
been entaied in fitting out the expeditions against
the sea lions, with the permission of the Government
Also that the movement against these sea animals
has received the Endorsement and approval OF the
commercial and scientific men OF the coast. And,
further, that the State and the United States are
spending thousands OF dollars every year to foster and
build UP the salmon industry, into which the rob-
bers are making such disastrous inroads.
With such facts before him. the Secretary can
hardly fail to give the subject reconsideration. The
sea lion is distinctly local problem, and the solution
of it can be safely left to authorities.

ARE GIVEN TIMELY WARNING
DISMISSAL THE PENALTY FOR
DIsoBEDIENCE.
At It's Meeting Next Monday the
Board of Supervisors Will Issue
a Formal Motif
cation.

The strong hand Of the Board Of Super-
visors is to be laid on the clerks Of the
Police Courts in the form Of a timely
warning that unless they perform their
duties as required by law they Will be
dismissed from the employ Of the city
This action was decided on yesterday at
a meeting of the Judiciary Committee Of
the Board of Supervisors, and at the next
regular meeting of the board there will
be adopted a resolution formally setting
forth the warning and the penalty for dis
obedience.
The action taken yesterday grows out
of the recommendation made by the
Grand Jury at the time it indicted Ponce
Court Clerk Kelly for completely IN the
issuance of straw bonds. Attention was
called TO the fact that the clerks are not
in attendance at their respective court
rooms during the hours required by law
and that they have made a practice OF
establishing headquarters at different
places about town, where they accept
questionable or worthless bonds upon the
payment to them Of consideration IN
money.
of the Police Courts requires that they
shall be in attendance at their respective
courtroOmS or offices attached thereto
from 8 o. clock a. m. until O'CLOCK p m.
every day in the week, Sundays ana hoh-
days excepted, to perform the duties I'M
posed as required by law. Inc CLERKS
of the Police Courts shall also alternate
so that one clerk in turn shall be in at
tendance at the courtroom or Office at
tached thereto every evening IN the week
from 1880 to 10 o'clock, and on Sundays
and holidays from 10 o'clock a. m. until
2 o'clock d. m. for the purpose Of taxing
bail bonds when the sufficiency and quail
fication of the SuretieS are examined into
and approved. The clerks OF Police courts
shall not accept sureties on bail bonds
except within the places and Wlthln the
time prescribed by this section.
The provisions of this law nave never
been complied with by the Police Court
clerks for the very good reason that It's
observance would prevent them from de-
manding pay for the acceptance OF pan
bonds at all times when they are not IN
their offices. The occasions when Ponce
Court clerk can be found in the city Han
after the noon hour are extremely .i rare;
and they are never to be found there at
night AS a consequence, persons VINO
are placed under arrest are put 10 an
infinite amount of trouble and unneces-
sarv delay and expense in searching Tor

bond and when a clerk is found IN some

ance of the desired release.
This condition of things is now TO De

THE CANADIAN CONTROVERSY

n CCORDING to dispatch from Washington OF
I \ yesterday, Secretary Hay has taken steps
toward arranging temporary agreement with
Great Britain regarding the Alaskan boundary dis
pute SO as to prevent any conflict OF authority along
the line while the subject remains matter of con-
troversy.
Such an agreement is in every way desirable, since
it seems likely the dispute will go on for years to
come Were any other nations engaged in such dis
putaton over an important boundary line there would
be imminent danger OF a In the present case,
however there is not suspicion of such dan
ger The Canadians, indeed seem to be very much
irritated over the subject but among them the
irritation is mainly felt in the neghborhood OF Vic
toria We may be the people OF Ontario and
Quebec have desire to start fight with the United
States for the sake OF unfolding claim to an Alaskan
harbor
Despite all that has been written about the subject
the exact status of the controversy is known
cept to the Joint High Commission and to the off
cia dgnitaries at Washington and London to whom
the commission reports. That much is made evil
dent by the conflicting nature of the rumors started
sometimes in this country and sometimes in Canada
At one time it is announced that Canada will not
agree to settlement OF any of the questions before
the commission unless her claim to Pyramid Harbor
and large part OF the Alaskan panhandle is granted
At another time it said Great Britain will force the
Canadians to accept any terms which the imperial
Government arranges with the United States A
third report follows to the effect that the British
authorities Respondent while the Canadians are
aggressive And now comes the announcement OF a
scheme for temporary settlement.
In the end the issue will doubtless be submitted to
arbitration. Our representatives at the Peace Con-
ference have united with those Of Great Britain in
urging the conference to recommend the adoption of
arbitration OF preventing wars, and both
Governments therefore or less bound to
follow that in the present instance. Canada
will hardly be permitted to permanently block the
effort of the two nations to reach satisfactory basis
on which to submit the case, but Victoria papers
talking if they thought Canada can whip Great
Britain and the United States put together Thus for
example, the Victoria Globe recently stated as warn
ing to the British Ministry: Canadians will not
peaceably submit to further humiliation from the
United States and the sooner the Government recog-
nizes the fact and acts accordingly the better will
be for the country.
1t will be that however Indifferent we may be
to the question, it is very lively one for our neigh
bors. Fortunately, while Canada can make good
deal of noise, she cannot do much damage and the
temporary settlement being arranged will be fol-
lowed in due time by permanent one without fight
serious friction to any except the ngoes
of Victoria
