Couldn't Make Her Laugh.

Laugh and the world laughs with
you! How true that is,'' said Mr.. Hig-
gleson. ITO have written just that line
was worth living for
''Oh, 1 don't know about that" Mrs.
HiggleSon replied. Il admit that there
is good deal Of philosophy in the po-
EN- from which those words are taken.
but 1t isn't always true"
MY dear" Mr.. Higgleson exclaimed,
you are mistaken. 1t is always true,
Laugh and the world laughs with you
It's as true as anything that has ever
been written. The whole philosophy
of human existence is bound up in
those few words"
The whole philosophy of human ex-
istence may be bound up in them,' the
lady responded, but l insist that it
doesn't always happen that way. I've
noticed that you always laugh when
you try to tell funny story, but it's
very seldom that the world laughs with
you
Mr.. Higgleson drew himself up with
all the dignity he could command, and,
striding angrily from the room, ex-
claimed:

Man.. How sharper than the serpent's s

MINERS ASSOCIATION.
The State Convention in Session at
San Francisco.

SAN FRANCISCO. Oct 23.-The
California Miners Association assem-
bled in annual convention at Golden
Gate Hall. President Neff called the
delegates to order. Less than half an
hour later the session took recess un-
til > o'clock this afternoon, in order to
permit the Committee on Credentials
TO prepare a report.
Declaring the convention to be in ses-
sion, Mr. Neff turned TO Mayor Phelan,
who was sitting on the rOstrum, and in
troduced him to the body.
The Mayor welcomed the visitors in a
few happy words, and was warmly ap-
plauded at the termination of his re-
marks
The principal topic to be discussed
during the convention is one involving
the constitutionality of the Caminetti
Act. This act named a commission with
power to grant licenses for the prose-
cution of hydraulic mining, after re-
straining dams have been built, in cases
where no possible damage could result
by allowing the debris to pass into
water courses. The miners have been
content TO abide by the decisions of the
commission when it has refused to issue
or rescind a license. The anti-debris
men are not satisfied, and have ques-
toned the authority of the commission
on more than one occasion, hence con-
sderation of the matter at this time.
Other subjects that will receive the
attention of the convention are the best
methods of conserving water supplies
for mining purposes; a revision of the
State mining laws; urging upon Con-
erass the establishment of a Depart
ment of Mines and Mining; the pressing
Of the mineral lands bill and the dis
position of the $300,00 debris and
dredging Appropriation passed by Con-
gress and the State Legislature.
In the afternoon the Credentials Com
mittee report was read, and then Pres
ident Nen delivered an address and
presented his annual report, his re-
marks, particularly in regard to hy-
drauhc mining and the determination
TO fight for the preservation of the
Caminetti Act, being vigorously ap-
plauded. He closed by stating that he
could no longer occupy the position of
President.
b. n. Shoecraft of Nevada City,
Chairman of the Committee on Mining
Exhibit at the Paris Exposition. pre-
sented a report regretting the small
amount of the appropriation made by
the late Legislature. and Stating that
the association had nothing TO do with
the mineral exhibit that is being col
lected for the exhibition at Paris.

Because Of His Not Properly Carrying
Out Orders Of Rear Admiral Watson.
Has Been Detached From the
Asiatic Squadron and Placed
for Shore Duty, But Later May
be Placed in Command of a
Vessel Commensurate With His
Rank

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23.-The Incl
dent that occurred in the Philippines
between Rear Admiral John c. Wat
son, Commander-in-Ch Chief of the Asia
tic station, and Commander F. d. Taus-
sig, in command of the Bennington, ow-
ing to a misunderstanding as to the
way in which certain orders Of the Ad-
mlral We're to be carried out, as re-
suit of which Commander Taussig was
relieved of his command and ordered to
return to the United States has been
closed by the Navy Departments ac-
tion in the following manner:
Admiral Watson's action is held to
be within the discretionary authority
vested in him by article 304, paragraph
5, of the navy regulations, it being i'm
practicable to have a court of inquiry,
and, owing to the present Importance of
the Asiatic station, indispensable that
harmony should be maintained in his
command.
Commander Taussig is regarded,
from the time of his arrival in the
United States, as having been detached
from duty on a foreign station. He was
ordered home and placed on waiting or
ders as in ordinary cases. He has now
connection with the Lighthouse Bureau,
and, when practicable, will have COM
mand of another vessel commensurate
with his rank, to serve elsewhere than
on the ASiatic station"

MRS. NETTIE r. CRAVEN.
Scores Slight Victory in Her Liti
CATION Against Fair Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 23-Mrs.
Nettie r. Craven scored a Slight vic
tory to-day in a branch of her litigation
against the Fair estate.
Superior Judge Trout decided that
she is not in any way estopped from
claiming heirship to the late Senator
Fairs estate. and that she may proceed
with her action TO establish, if she can,
her right to a portion of the estate as
the dead mans widow.
The Fair heirs claimed that Mrs.
Craven was estopped from claiming
heirship by the decree. .of partial distri-
button granted by Judge Stack in 1897,
in which his honor dcided that the
three children of Senator Fair were the
sole heirs. Mrs. Craven demurred,
Judge Trout sustaining her.
The hearing of Mrs. Craven's petition
for family allowance is set for NoyeH-
Der 18th. AS all demurrers have been
sustained, and issue has been joined,
there is nothing in the way of the legal
battle which will settle once and for
all the question of Mrs. Cravens right
to call herself Senator Fairs widow.

New Revenue Stamps.

The announcement that the Govern
ment will issue revenue stamps of
higher denomination is received by
stamp collectors with horror, and is
particularly so regarded by those who
had as they thought, completed their
list. says an exchange. The Bureau of
Printing and Engraving is now at work
on designs for $100, $500 and 81 900
stamps, and these will of necessity be
out of reach of the collectors for some
time, even after they are cancelled. The
highest denomination of a documen-
tary stamp is $50, which will serve
to cover a taxable paper of high face
value. But many mortgages and con-
veyances of various sorts drawn in
these days of financial and CONNER
cial reorganization and consolidation
represent such large sums that the af-
fixing of the $50 stamp required Sc
riously encroaches upon the text. The
face of President Madison is to be
shown upon the 1000 stamps, but the
portraits for the others have not yet
been selected. In the present issue the
stamps are to be numbered, which will
be a sop of comfort to the ardent col
lector, who will thus learn what his
chances are of getting one that is used
by being able to keep trace of them.
