LAST OF THE TANCHES.
Old Indian Woman Sleeping Out Her
Second Century,.

On the high tai BILE land of Ell Dorado
county, between the north and middle
| forks of the Costumes river and anon
the lofty Sierra peaks, lives q remnant
OF the oldest of old Californ MAN Indian
tribes, says the San Francisco Exam
liner.
Once, ages before California knew
the face of white man, the race was
5000 strong-tall straight and power
full. Their tribal name was Tanche
the cat)-one feared and respected
throughout the mountains. Now but
five are left. Civilization and time
have all but exterminated the race;
still the wonderful vitality of the old
stock remains, for these five are not on
~ tribally the most ancient of North
American natives, but individually are
the oldest in the world,
With these five will die the name of
Tanche. for the youngest is 9S and the
old grandmother, Unchupus, has al
ready seen 145 California winters.
When Suffer was first heard of by the
Indians, Unchupus' great-gre at-grand-
daughter was married ard had three
children almost grown. OF the present
survivors, DC, the daughter, is 120
years old; Unchup, the son. is 102; Elo-
mia, the niece, is IS; while Burnt Jim,
the grandson, is l04. Burnt Jim once
had an Indian name, but upon the ad-
vent OF the whites he acquired the fire.
water habit and during q celebration
had q sudden burst of conviviality
which landed him face down in the
camp fire. This second christening
dubbed him Burnt Jim" on the spot.
The quintet are all in good health,
and with the Exception of Unchu-
pus, wait on themselves and work for
their living of game, roots and acorns.
They have no legal standing, no pro-
perty. and no agency. Under the law
they are but trespassers upon the I'M
improved land of the whites-ignored
but unmolested.
The old grandmother ia sleeping out
her second century. She wakens mere
ly to take nourishment. Her hair Is as
white as carded wool and her flesh has
wasted away from inactivity until
naught but skin and bones remains.
They have to lead her like baby--or
an animated wrinkle--when she walks.
These old Indians having no child
rem of their own, they have persuaded
two families of young Indians, from an
other tribe, to camp on their grounds.
Toward them they display the greatest
affection but to strangers they are in
variably taciturn and cold.
Their habits and crude novels he
semble those of the wild animals among
whom they have lived; still they have

The List For New Suits Started
With $40 Donatlons.-OtherM Mat
terS

The subscription list for the pur-
chase of new uniforms was started this
morning and the few merchants who
were called upon were very liberal
| and started the list with $40 each.
Manager Jacoby intends to complete
| the list within a few days as the time
is drawing near when the club must re-
present Ell Paso on the ball field at Tu-
lsrosa and they want to put up re-
spectacle appearance and good game
of ball.
An effort will be made to have the
Albuq nerque team stop over here and
play game on the fifth Of July. They
pass through here on that day on their
return from Alsmagordo, where they
play on the Fourth.
The team is working hard every
evening to, not only get in shape to
capture the honors at Tularosa, but
also to defeat the Aismogordo and AL
buquerque teams.
There will be plenty of chances to
have a good ball game here this season
and if the business men will extend the
necessary encouragement we will GER
tainly have the games.

ELECTRIC LIGHT
CONTRACT
Judge WaIthaII Decided That
The Mayor Veto Killed 1t.
THE CASE WAS HEARD
Yesterday Afternoon And After Argu-
ments By Both Sides The
Court Decided Against The Cor
nOratiOn

The district court decided yesterday
afternoon that the contract hastily en-
tered into between the city and the
electric light company was knocked
out by Magoffin's subsequent veto and
action of the city council.
Immediately after the Geronimo
Para case went to the jury the cleo
trio light suit was taken up and Judge
Buckler for the corporation and Judge
Kemp for the city both made lengthy
| arguments.
| Both sides agreed on the facts of
the case, as already published that the
contract had been entered into, lega l.
ly signed in duplicate and afterwards
vetoed by the mayor.
| Judge Buckler argued that the may
or had no right or authority to rescind
his action at will and that the con-
tract was still binding upon the city;
| legislative acts and that even an or
| dinance could not be recalled at will
after it had been signed. He contend
| ed that the contract was not strictly
speaking an ordinance, but that the
proposition of the company bad simp-
| ly been accepted on verbal motion and
the mayor authorized 70 enter into
the contract which became binding as
| soon as signed and sealed.
the contention, one of them being the
Galveston printing contract, which
was vetoed by the mayor after it hsd
been signed by the chairman of the
finance committee. An appeal to the
supreme court resulted in the decision
that the mayor had no right to veto
the contract.
KEMP'S ARGUMENT.
Judge Kemp first entered q general
demurrer on the grounds that the
terms of the contract were too upcer-
tain to be binding.
The mayor, he said, had carried out
the instructions of the council and sign
ed the contract, but afterwards con-
sidering such action hasty he vetoed
the contract. The attorney said that
the Ell Paso charter specifically pro-
vided that the mayor had the right to
veto either an ordinance or a resolu-
ton after signing and that in this iu
stance his action was perfectly proper.
He then pointed out the defects in the
wording of the contract, which were
discovered by the attorneys who adj
dressed the citizens committee which
contract did not designate how many
lights the city was to pay for and in
that respect it was invalid.
THE DECISION.
He also read decisions to uphold his
side of the case and then Judge Wal
thsll rendered his decision holding
that the aldermen's motion was in the
shape of q resolution, which the mayor
had perfect right to veto: that in
signing the contract the mayor was
acting as an agent, under Instructions,
and did not forfeit his right to employ
the mayors veto; and that the terms of
the contract are indefinite and UNI
certain and so lacking in mutually as
to vitiate itself.
The case will undoubtedly be ap-
pealed and fought out to the last ditch.

AS forecasted In this paper some days
ago the two Chinese brought before
Justice Frear under a writ of habeas
corpus for hearing as to their right
to land In Honolulu have been remand
ed Chinese Agent Brown and will he re-
turned to Hongkong.
There We're several points in this case.
When the Chinese were refused a land
ing by Agent Brown, they were turned
over to the police, prosecuted and fined
for an attempt to enter the country
without legal permission. In the court
they claimed that this transfer to the
prison constituted in itself a landing
that in passing into other hands they
left the custody of the United States
agent and could not be rearrested in
Hawaii by him.
Held, that though turned over to the
lpolice temporarily for prosecution for
an infraction of Hawaiian law, the petit
TONERS did not pass out of the legal
custody of Agent Brown.
The second claim Of petitioners was
that though they had purchased their
permits in Hongkong they were Citi-
zens of Hawaii and had a right to come
| in. One alleged that he was a half
caste and was born on Hawaii.
| A most crucial examination on this
point, due to its Importance, revealed
/ the fact beyond doubt that the men
were raw Cinnamon, had never been to
\ Hawaii before and We're simply lying.
| Justice Frear so ruled without giving
them the roasting" they deserved.
| Point three was that they had been
refused landing by United States
! Agent Brown and not by Collector "
ers. Hawaiian law prescribes that the
latter only may deal with the matter.
The court admits, for the sake of argu-
! ment, that the Chinese agent is not the
! final authority, but adds that the petit
! toners are not entitled to land and
that neither the court nor the collector
has the legal right to permit them "a
! do so.
Point four was against the iurisdic-
ton of the court to pass upon the acts
| OF Federal officer. Justice Frear
states that he has impressions of his
own in this matter but prior decisions
or the supreme court had made il unne-
cessary to consider the point.
This is a final settlement of the latest
Chinese immigration case. It is not tC
be presumed, however, that II will be
the last one, for Honolulu being the
outpost of the United States on the Pa.
cihc, will receive the brunt of immi-
grafton assaults that has hitherto gone
to San Francisco

In the old Doty homestead, built be-
fore the Revolution, situated on the
boundary line between the borough Of
New Providence and Summit City, N.
j., Mrs. Phoebe Doty Hedges recently
celebrated her 101st birthday. Mrs.
Hedges traces her lineage to Samuel
Doty, who came over in the Mayflower.
Early In the las, century the Doty fami-
ly settled in New Jersey. Mrs. Hedg-
es' father, James Doty, was a Minute
man during the Revolutionary war and
also served in one of the Nav Jersey
regiments. He married Nancy Lacey
and Mrs. Hedges was born on July 81,
1798 In 1915 she married Edward He'd
ges, who died in 1874. Several children
were born to them, but only one sur
wives. She is Mrs. Jeanette Morris,
aged "A, with whom Mrs. Hedges now
lives. She is an original daughter Of
the American Revolution, and in recog-
milton of this the national society last
October sent her a gold spoon, suitably
engraved with her monogram.

Bones Of q Whale from Way Back.

after examining the find, writes to the
Hungarian newspaper in question:: Il
confirm the fact Of the archaeological
find being of the whale species. In
length it is eight meters. To judge
from the strata in which the animal
was discovered, it is unquestionably
the oldest ever discovered in Europe,

The Baltimore and Ohio lines west
of the Ohio River present very busy
appearance these days, as there is
scarcely a ten mile stretch without a
bridge or a construction gang at work
There are still few of the SO bridges
purchased last January to be erected,
and almost all of the 10000 tons of So
pound rails have been laid. At several
points sidings of 100 car capacity are
being constructed, and between New
ark and Chicago Junction thousands Of
men are working on extensive grade
reductions. Between Chicago Junction
and Chicago nearly a score of passing
sidings are being constructed with a
view of a double track some time in
the future. They are to be long
enough in most cases to hold three 80
car trains.
