Military Matrimony and rIorars.

The war department has ruled that army officers who marry Filipino women must "stay with the game. " The ruling was brought out by the case of a lieutenant at Fort Leaven- worth, whose marriage to an estimable young lady of Leavenworth was about to take place. The story got out that the officer, while in the Philippines, had welded a Filipino girl after the easy going fashion of the archipelago, and that two children had been born to them. The LeavenwOrth young lady expressed her willingness to marry the lieutenant, anyhow, provided he would get a divorce from his dusky wife in the far-of islands, but the war de- partment stepped in and informed the young man that he must surrender his commission if he deserted his Fili1ino wife. The case has been further com plicatcd by the announcement that the Filipino wife, accompanied by her father and the two babies, are on their wa-- to the United tates for the pur- pose of getting in closer touch with the warrior husband.
 It is stated on the authority of an army officer that the departments rul- ing will cause embarrassment at nu- merous army posts, but Secretary Root is clearly in the right. It may par- take somewhat of the paternalism for which the German government is noted, for our war department to in terfere in the matrimonial affairs of army officers, but more than any question of personal morality is in- volved. This government is using up many valuable lives and vast treasure in the work of reconciling the Filipinos to American rule and American stand ards of civilization. The first great step is to gain the confidence of the natives. This confidence cannot be sained-at any rate it cannot be re- tained-if officers resentative of the American government do not hold to code oi honor radically different from that which has been followed by the Fort Leavenworth lieutCLant.

arrested by the statement that he had left a fortune of S6O.OOOOOO. Vast num- bers of people did not know there was such a man as Jones, and very few remembered that he was chairman of the republican national committee in 1884, and managed Blaine's campaign against Cleveland. And yet. that campaign was the most closely fought this country has ever seen, and for several months the name of Chairman Jones was a familiar household word. In addition to all that, MT. Jones was of forceful individuality. The readiness with which really strong men are for gottne should bring a pause to the small fry who hope to gain glory in politics

Unmarried Women in 1ermany.

rather depressing picture of the life of German women is given in a re- cent number of "The Ladies' Field '' No girls are so highly educated as those of Germtny, says the article but the process does not sound agreeable and the results seem to profit little.
 The education of a German girl be- gins at six; it is compulsory, and the rule for attendance is strictly enforced. A mother cannot keep a delicate or ailing child at home without a doctors certificate. Work is carried on at .Ae fullest stretch, and the strain on mind and body is such that many a German girl leaves school with her nerves shaken and her health injured for life. Little time is allowed for gymnastics or outdoor games. though some change in this respect is now being made. and at sixteen the girl leaves school, after passing numberless examinations, her studies having included languages. his and singing. a thorough course in cook cry and needlework. It is of these last two accomplishments that she makes the most use in afterlife. The rest lead to nothing. and in the majority of cases the girl might just as well have been spared the strain oi acquiring so much superfuous education.
 Marriage is considered. as much sine qua non with a German as win a French girl. but it is not arranged in the same business-like way unhappily. it would seem. It is left to the co=ng woman herself to attract a husband. and. as spinsterhood in Germany has few attractions. girls are continually occupied with their matrimonial chances.
 An unmarried woman is an absolute failure While her parents live she re- mains in entire subservience to them, and when they die she is usually ter ribly poor, while if of good birth she would rather starve than work for pay. If she belongs to an aristocratic family she may obtain small allowance of about $125 a year. with board and lodging, in a stiff. or sort of lay COZ vent endowed by successive benefac- tors for the support of these unmar- ried daughters and sisters. Residence in the stiff is only compulsory fo- d few months of the year. and the stift dame may visit and receive friends as much as she likes.
 Teaching is the principal occupation open to those women obliged to earn their livelihood, but the government examinations are severe, the pay poor and the work hard, and there are few opportunities of rising. Of. late years women are beginning to work for uni-f vcrsity degrees so that they may take 1qual places with the men in the schools, and the Froebel movement has helped some to more satisfactory I,osi- tions. Hospital nursing is almost the only other profession open to ;ha sex. Dentists are numerous, but medical de- grees must still be obtained abroad. and feminine journalism is confined to the realm of fashion.

Is This So.

A report is in circulation that Jack
son Miners Union has forwarded a re-
guest to the leading officials of the
Western Federation of Miners at Dem
YER, Colorado, for permission to declare
strike. The supposition is that the
mines in theimmediate vicinity of jack
son are the objects of this attention. 1t
Is difficult to see how a strike order
would affect the mines here, as but few
union men are In the employ of these
mines. However, the operators be-
lieve that if the issue is to be pressed,
1T might just rs we'll be forced now as
any time. We do not know whether
the report that the organized miners
are anxious to strike is true or not. 1t
is significant, however, that while this
rumor is afOat here, the news comes
from San Francisco that the mine
owners of Amador and other mining
sections have perfected a strong organ
ization TO resist any demands that may
be made for recognition by any branch
OF the Western Federation of Miners.
They are determined to manage their
properties without dictation on the
part OF employees. They are willing to
pay the highest wages possible, and
treat the men with all consideration.
but they will not surrender their right
to employ whom they please, whether
union or non-union. The organization
is backed with $780, 900 capital, and
more if necessary. All the mines in
Amador county with few exceptions,
are represented in this counter COM
bine. Organization begets organiza-
tion. The situation is the logical out
come of the organization of employees.

For Economy.

t OLETA, March II.
Editor Ledger;-I want to say word
of encouragement to you in your fight
for economy in the county government.
The tendency nowadays is to make
more officers and raise salaries, and as
we are long-suffering people l sup
pose they think we will stand a little
more. l think salaries are too high
now. The reason l think so is that for
several long weeks before election we
see the candidates going from house to
house all over the county to see the
dear people, spending a good deal of
money and doing everything in their
power to get votes. They know before
they start out that only half of them
can be elected, but they are willing to
take the risk. If the job was not a
pretty good one they wouldn't do it.
In my opinion if the offices were put up
to the lowest bidder, competent men
would take them for good deal less
than the salaries now paid. One cor
respondent says justice or constable
cannot attend to his Office and have
any other business. don't know how
it is in other townships, but over here
in No. they would get very lonesome
sitting in their offices waiting for case.
During Sheriff Gregory's last term he
appointed deputy here in Oleta, and
1t seemed that the knowledge that we
had an officer in town kept everything
quiet, for he had very little to do as an
officer. Now if there is any disturb
ance we have to send to Volcano for a
constable, and take the case up there
to try it, which is costly and incon-
venient. Why not have another
deputy sheriff in Oleta. A great effort
is being made to get people from the
east to come to California and settle,
and they are coming, but they will
shun the counties that have a high tax
rate. If taxes get much higher this
will be good county to emigrate from,
for we can't make enough to pay them.
Yours for economy;
T. J. H.

Amador Man Severely Beaten.

The San Francisco papers of Satur-
day last give an account of an affray
which took place at an early hour on
Friday morning at 246 O'Farrell street
in that city, in which Charles Freeman,
who recently left Jackson for San Fran
cisco, and two others, named Parker
and Williams, were severely injured.
In the scrimmage Freeman's leg was
broken near the ankle, also his nose,
besides bruises about the head and face.
Freeman was removed to St. Joseph's
hospital, whore his injuries wore at
tended to. After his removal to the
hospital he gave the following account
of the affair:
Williams, Parker and myself were sit
ting in room at the Dunlap about 3
o'clock in the morning. Only curtain
separated us from q party of five
strangers. We were chatting among
ourselves when one of our remarks was
resented by the party on the other side
of the curtain. A dispute followed,
Presently Belknap and Lake came into
our part OF the room and told us not to
mind the other fellows; that they were
intoxicated and not responsible. We
shook hands and considered the matter
closed. One of the women also helped
to patch the matter up. We presently
started to leave and four of the other
party caught up with us in the hall.
way. Lake had gone before any
trouble occurred.
Freeman was then assaulted, so he
alleges, by Campbell, who kicked him,
breaking his leg near the ankle, and
bringing him to the floor. Belknap
and Clancy, it is said, then fell on him,
breaking his nose and hammering him
over the head.
Meanwhile Harding had attacked
Williams with the butt end of a revolver
and badly cut him about the head.
Williams was saved from further injury
by one of the women, who opened her
door and pulled him inside her room.
| Parker scrambled about to seek
shelter, but blows rained on his head,
and despite all effort to defend himself
he was badly beaten. Finally he was
kicked down stairs and for a few
moments lay at the bottom of the
| flight. He waited for time, with his
companions, but at length went to his
hotel and his injuries were treated there
that he might escape notorietY. Judge
| Fritz visited Freeman at St. Joseph IS
hospital, and he swore to complaint
against Belknap and Campbell.
The assailants were arrested. They
are all prominently connected. Hard.
ing was released on Sl150 cash bail,
Clancy on $500 cash bail, Campbell on
$1100 cash bail, and Belknap on $500
bonds.
On Saturday Freeman made com.
plaint against Campbell for assault
with intent to do great bodily harm,
and also for battery. Neal Williams
was at one time in Jackson, but left
here two or three years ago. Rumol
has it that the Parker involved in this
affair, is also Jackson man, who left
here for the city Thursday of last week

Surgical Operation.

An important surgical operation was
performed last week upon lady in
Sutter Creek, a relative of Mrs. Botto,
at whose residence the patient is stay
ing. She arrived from Italy about
four months ago. Shortly after reach
ing here she was taken down with
pneumonia. AS result of that COM
plant, an abscess formed in one lung.
The abscess grew to formidable pro-
portion, threatening the life of the
patient unless speedy relief was afford
ed. DIR. Phillips was called in, and de-
cided that an operation was imperative.
With the assistance OF Drs. Goodman
and Lewis the cavity was opened, and
large quantity of pus, and a portion
of rib which had become deceased,
was removed. Under the care of g
skilled nurse the patient is gaining
strength daily, and hopes of a com
plete recovery are entertained.

Tom Dwyer went to San Francisco
the latter part of last week, on account
of impaired sight of the left eve. Ac-
companied by his sister, Mrs. G. C.
GinOcchio, he went to consult DR..
Martin, a specialist in eye diseases.
Mrs. Ginocchio returned home Tues
day night. Tom Dwyer will remain in
the city for some time for treatment.
1t seems that the fever from which he
has recently recovered, has left it's
impress upon the eye, which was in
jured some years ago by some hot lime.
The doctor was unable to predict the
outcome at present. He will have to
wait for about ten days, before deter
mining whether an operation will be
necessary.

Boys, Take Warning.

Great complaint is made at the dis
turbance created by the boys ip front
of and inside the hall whenever there
is show or entertainment of any kind
Last Saturday night, on the occasion
of the last performance of the Buchanan
Company. the way they cut up was
something disgraeeful. Their actions
interfered materially not only with the
show folks, but with the enjoyment of
the patrons. 1t is no now thing for
the boys to wax noisy at such gather
ings. 1t has been the case for years,
and it seems to be getting worse. There
ought to be some way to stop this
riotous conduct. Perhaps the only
effectual way of checking it is to make
complaint against one of the unruly
youngsters, and hail him before the
justice court for punishment. There is
10 doubt that this would stop the
practice. In front or inside of public
hall when an entertainment is in pro-
gress, is no place for youngsters to in
dulge in skylarking. 1t is hoped the
boys will take warning, otherwise there
will be trouble. Parents ought to be
able to keep their children within
reasonable bounds. The youths of
Jackson are probably no worse in this
respect than in othor towns, but that
is no reason why disturbances should
be tolerated to the detriment OF others.
Let some decisive measures be taken
to put an end to such proceedings in
future.

A Smash Up.

Monday night a collision occurred on
the outskirts of town between two rigs,
one in charge of Mr.. Quinn, who is
manager of the pole line OF the Stand
ard Electric Company, aud the other
vehicle under the direction of John
Martell, son of L. N. Martell of the
station. Quinn was en- route from Jack
son to Sutter Greek, Martell was driv-
ing from Martell's to jackson with his
wife and another lady with him in the
buggy. 1t was after seven o'clock and
the night was dark. Opposite Frank
Hoffman's residence the two vehicles
came together with a crash. One of
the horses in the Martell buggy in its
struggles, planted its fore feet squarely
in the lap of one of the ladies. She
had the presence of mind to hold him
firmly by the lines until he had quieted
somewhat. In the animals efforts to
free himself he tore one of his shoes off,
and left it in the buggy. The other
horse broke clear of the wreckage, and
was captured near the graveyard. The
buggy was smashed considerably, the
pole and top being broken. The
harness was torn to shreds. Strange
to say, no one in the vehicle was in
jured in the least. 1t was miraculous
escape.
