HUNDREDS OF
JURYMEN WILL
Be NECESSARY
All Spectators Ask
Separate Trials.
Oakland Office San Francisco Call.

l.,
sos Broadway, Aug. 9.
It will require 250 jurors in the Police
Court to decide the cases of the alleged
prize-fghters and the alleged spectators.
This was decided to-day before Judge
Smith, and in order to get rid of the many
rases on the calendar he fixed the trials
for all hours of the morning, afternoon
and night from August Is to August 10.
on each Of these days there will be sep
arate jury trials at $50 a. m, 10:3O a. m,
! p. m. P. m. p. m. and P. m.
The circus commenced this morning,
when Attorneys Lin Church and Garrity
appeared for about a score Of the male
factors and pleaded not guilty for each of
them. Judge Smith said that in cases of
defendants demanding separate jury trials
the bail would be doubled. This provoked
a discussion with the attorneys. who said
the court had no right TO practically i'm
pose Il hardship on a defendant because
ne took advantage OF ms Iesal Tlghts; Is
The Judge said this was not his view OF
II, but he did so because in case OF defauit
after a jury had been subpenaed the bail
at present deposited would not satisfy the
expenses Of the court
There is no doubt that some serious mis-
takes were made in swearing TO the war
declares positively he was not WITHIN a
mile of the fight. vet his name appears on
the list. Charles Boek, a young printer,
who never patrOniZeS such kind OF sport,
has also been mixed up in the affair, but
he is able to prove that he was not even
in the city at the time of the fight. 1t
now transpires that the warrant was for
Charles Book and had no reference TO
BOek.
Attorney Bradley. who appeared for
Boek. wanted the case tried right away
saving that il would not require one min
ute 70 prove that his client was not at
Many Of the defendants also declared
their ability to prove instantly their in
uocenCe. There was no police officer in
the haSement-at least, no officer has yet
acknowledged being there-and therefore
The only proof possible will be that Of the
spectators or Of the principals. who can
hardly be expected 20 testify against each
other a $ they would thereby be directly
and positively discriminating themselves.
Judge Smith is of the opinion that 1t
viii not be necessary to try all the cases
or TO use 81 Jurors. With few exceptions
the evidence will be the same IN each case,
and II is possible that q stipulation may
he made by which one case can cover
about a dozen. This morning one of the
defendants q. H. r. Ledgett. did not ap-
row B0ttle-hOlder Permien will be sem

tte 20th Timekeeper Green, who also
pleaded guilty Will know his punishment.
Since the arrests have caused the prize
fight TO become matter of common gossip
Ii has become known that the affair was
planned very thoroughly and that scores
Cf people received invitations TO be pres
eut. There seems to have been no secret
a. peculiar that some Of the police officers
who must have heard of Il did not make
a report TO headquarters in advance OF the
fight.

L to pass judgment on the relative
merits of the different horticultural,
viticultural and mining exhibits of
the entire world at the Paris Ex-
position is something of an honor.
Yet this is just what has come
to T. H. Ramsay the manager of the
Vina ranch, and the best of it is he
has no political influence or pull to
thank for it, He is merely country
lad who has devoted his energy and
intellect to the cultivation of the vine
and the fig tree, and his appointment
has been offered him because the
Paris Commissioners think he is the
best qualified man in the State to
fill the position, which will pay him
about $1,000 in salary.
If Mr.. Ramsay accepts, as no doubt
he will he will be obliged to go TO
Paris and remain three months in the
spring and summer of 1900, in which
length of time, it is expected. he will
be able to get through the work of
awarding the prizes.
Mr.. Ramsay is son of Charles

The Maple Sugar Outlook.

Maple sugar dealers are quite
generally discouraged in Vermont
over the poor, scanty yield Of last
spring and the devastation among
the maple trees BY the tent cater
pillar. 1t is frequently remarked
that we are in danger of losing our
maple orchards if the worms con-
tinue another year as bad as the last
two seasons. A writer in the Farm
ers' Advocate tells his experience as
follows:
"Last spring l made 800 pounds
of fairly good sugar from 900 trees
tapped. l had my pals all hung in
time to catch the first run of sap,
which proved to be the best run of
the season. l sold little too soon,
receiving nine cents per pound,
whereas If l had held two months
later l could have sold for II cents,
but l am not sorry I sold. l always
make a practice to sell when I can
get good fair price, and it the
price advances later it is all right.
I like to see others make a good
thing as we'll as myself. / have
taken pains to find out from Others
in different parts of the state as to
the damage done BY the caterpillar
and find that only in rare instances
have the worms done severe da mage
in the same locality two successive
ears"

There is still some doubt as to the
present eligibility of British subjects
to seats in the Boer parliament.

The boom in militarism says a
little; over.inAated, little state or
two in South Africa has in a few
months time made punctures which
threaten miserable collapse OF the
miserable fabric on which England
has spent untold treasure and pitt
lessly sacrificed thousands upon
thousands of lives. This is i'm
perialism model which this
country seeks to DEMONSTRATING,
crushing under foot every attempt at
independence and deaf to every APP
peal for right and justice. England,
her empire at stake, its very exist
ence threatened by Il handful OF
Beers, is an inspiring example tor
our inperialistic politicians, who
want to see this country "grow,"
who want to get it out of "lut,'
and who are willing to sacrifice an
unlimited number of the lives of
their fellow citizens t, gain their
revolutionary desires. Our profess
sional patriots who are deep in the
business of civilization and benevo-
lent assimilation in the far East, and
who are even making an excursion
in slavery here and there, are more
or less Inundated by the plight of
their brother jingoes across the
water, and they have right to be.
Great Britain may retrieve her bro.
ken fortunes in Africa by further re-
lentless sacrifice of life, but now she
is not an awe-inspiring spectacle.
Empire stock is down.

There are trees which would seem to
substantiate the theory Of some SCI
entists that there is no reason why
tree should ever die unless destroyed
by unfavorable conditions or accident.
The oak, for example. will live rs
sapling for ages until given oppOrtu-
nifty for growth. There is IN old say
ing to the effect that II pine forest Is
cut down an oak forest will grow,
and this Is said to be literally true.
Many of the acorns carried into the
pine woods by birds and squirrels are
left to sprout in the ground. AS the
tiny saplings grow browsing natives
Of the forest shades nibble off their
tender leaves. Again and again new
leaves are put forth, only to serve as
food for hungry deer or moose or 9th
er marauding creatures. And so, hid
den from sunlight, deprived. Us it
would appear, Of every essential Of
life, the little plants live on, and when
at last the pines are felled and the sun
light reaches them they begin their era
Of growth.
