all purchasers OF the refunding bonds
were therefore bound to take notice OF
the limitations imposed by the act ana
were bound at their peril to examine the
ordinance and notice Of election on the
question of refunding by which alone the
Mayor and Common Council obtained jur-
isdiction to issue the bonds.
THAT ordinance and notice OF election
contained statements and recitals showing
that the bonds were issued in part for an
the findings Of the Circuit Court that the
bond issue for the purposes provided for
by law couid not be segregated from the
bonds issued for the illegal purpose. The
Court OF Appeals held the entire bond is
sue to be affected by that illegality and
therefore void.
1.-The city of Santa Cruz never received
any consideration whatever for the re-
funding bonds: they were delivered to the
firm of Coffin & Stanton upon nominal
sale. but really to be sold by that firm
for the city of Santa Cruz.
Coffin & Stanton, being at the time In
falling circumstances, proceeded at once
TO sell and hypothecate the bonds for ac-
count of the firm and as collateral Sc
curity for the firms debts, appropriating
the proceeds and making no return to the
city OF Santa Cruz.
''At this juncture the firm of Coffin &
Stanton failed, leaving debts amounting
to about 81 900 900 and assets worth about
one tenth Of that amount. The city OF
Santa Cruz Immediately repudiated the
bond issue on several grounds, including
the ground on which the Circuit Court OF
Appeals has adjudged the bonds invalid.
Most of the bondholders then formed a
pool and assigned their bonds to Albert
II. Waite, who commenced suit, in
which the decision has just been rendered.
This decision is final unless the bondhold-
ers shall secure a reversal by the United
States Supreme Court"

GREEKS ARE MORE UNIFORM
PRESIDENT WHEELER AT THE
CLAIMING AUXILIARY.

While speaking on the contrast between
the religion OF the Greeks and the relig-
ion OF Americans before the Charming
Auxiliary yesterday, President Wheeler
OF the University of California interjected
many clever sayings that brought forth
frequent applause from the large audience
Of ladies. The speaker said at the begin
ming that It would be almost impossible
TO convey an idea of the beauties or in
terest OF the old Greek religion, except
by contrast. and without once bordering
on controversy, he drew very clear pic
lures OF the Athenian religion, which he
spoke Of as fitting the individual like
kid glove" and the modern religion,
which he said is department OF mod
ern life rather than something which is
born with the individual and Is a part
The Greek did not give one day in
seven to his religion" said President
nF sbs wesk ResFuoge an extra
the time. He had no creed, no tolerance
and no morals, because all were so COM
pletely part of the religion that he in
herited that he had no need OF special
codes or creeds. Modern religion par
takes OF so many elements that the dis
penser of II reminds me OF a man dis
tributing mail in a postofflce-he puts
missive in the moral box, the religious
box, the tolerant box or IN any other box
which his fancy may dictate. Not so
as religion belonging to the Individual:
II was a feature OF the body polite"
Without committing himself to any i'm
piled Endorsement of religion and state
union. President Wheeler painted a glow
ing picture of the smoothness with which
the liaison worked in ancient Greece
when ethics were obeyed by all and when
an irreligious man was considered a
traitor.
'It has been said that there is a SINH
larity," said the speaker, between the
trials of Socrates and DR.. Briggs, because
they were bo tn charged with heterodoxy
This is absurd. Socrates was charged
with advocating religious doctrine that
had a tendency to undermine the state,
and was executed for high treason, which
was a very different condition from that
surrounding DR.. Briggs"
Referring TO the division OF the month
into four ports and laying off every sew
enth day for Sunday, President Wheeler
exploded the old meteorological fallecy of
the changes OF the moon being responsible
for the weather. The Greeks divided the
month into ten parts" he said. land paid
no attention to dividing time If the moon.
You can quarter the moon II you like, hut
the moon does not grow by quarters, but
steadily from new to full. and knows no

TOLEDO, o., June 10.-The feature of
the Zeltner murder trial was the APP
pearance Of Paul Zeltner on the stand
and the telling of his story of the kill
ing of Attorney Westenhaver at Hoyts-
vile. The witness claimed that the
shooting was done in a moment of pas
sion. He denied that it was premedi-
tated. He stated that he always car
ried firearms He claimed that when
he heard the talk between his brother
and Attorney Westenhaver he went up
and that Westenhaver spit in his face.
The defense put on number of wit
nesses Thursday to show the good
character of the accused and they gen
orally spoke well of him.

Pretty Good SQUIRREL Story.

Omcer Lovelace made discovery Of
some interest yesterday morning in
reference to th stathouse squirrels.
Every morning just about daylight
since the extremely hot weathere be-
gan, he has noticed troop OF six or
eight, sometimes more. of these alert
and affectionate little creaturs going
down State street toward tie west on a
big telegraph cable. The officer was
interested in the sight and yesterday
morning he concluded to watch Them to
see where they were going and for
what purpose.
About $3.50 eight of the little animals
crossed the street from the capital
grounds ran nimbly up the big pole
which supports the cable, and in a line
about five feet apart, as usual, they
started west, the officer following at a
safe distance so as not to alarm them.
Wien the squirrels arrived at State
street bridge they ran down the pole
at the east end, and chasing one an
other down the river bank, plunged in
for bath. After dsportlng them
selves for about ten minutes sin the
cool water they returned to the capitol
grounds in the order in which they had
come, as nearly as the officer could
judge.-Ohlo State Journal

WHY
IS
IT2

That so many people do not know a
bargain when 1t is offered to them?
They think that IL anything is offered
at less than regular prices or less than
they have been accustomed to paying
that is damaged or OF poor quality. 1t
must be because the stores they patro-
nize have so educated them to believe
because those stores get higher prices.
They talk 1t to their customers that
good quality cannot be sold for any
less than they ask. We admit that
good goods are worth more than poor
quality of goods, but because the quail
!ty is high it does not follow that good
high qualities OF goods are not sold at
lower prices than usually prevail, and
many lots are offered at as low price
and some times lower than are asked
for the poorer qualities. This selling
of high qualities of goods for low
prices is the real definition of the word
bargain, at least that is the definition
we put on it. We try to educate the
trade TO come to us for that kind of q
bargain, that is why we call 1t

A cENTENNARIAN DEAD.
She Felt While Trying TO Kiss Her Sons
Corpse as HIo Lay IN tho comu--
Tho Fan Killed Her.

TOLEDO, o., June TO- Mrs. Julia
Britt the Oldest woman in northwest
ern Ohio, died Thursday, aged 1Oi
years, from injuries she received over
1s months ago by q peculiar accident.
While in the act of kissing her son as
he lay dead ir his coffin, before closing
the lid. she overbalanced her
self, slipped and fell heavily
to the floor, breaking her
arm and three ribs The fractures
mended easily enough, but Mrs. Britt
always looked upon the accident as an
omen which foretold that she would
soon follow her son. She could not
drive the thought away, and it preyed
so heavily on her mind that it hastened
her death.
