The San Francisco call., 1904-06-09

The Occidental and Oriental Steam
ship Company's liner C0ptic, Captain
Armstrong, which arrived from the
Orient late Tuesday night. passed quar-
antine after sunrise yesterday morn
ing and was alongside the Pacific Mail
wharf by o'clock. The Coptic brought
about so cabin passengers, p steerage
and a large number of Japanese in
the Asiatic steerage. She brought 2201
tons Of freight. which inciuded Japan
ese gold yen valued at S3,0oO,000. This
is said to be the second largest single
shipment Of gold ever sent out of
Yokohama. Her cargo included 500
boxes Of tea, 2467 bales or hemp, 641
bales Of gunnies, 1872 bales Of raw silk,
I49 bales silk goods and 100 bags of
coffee. Fine weather prevailed be-
tween Hcngkong and Honolulu. From
the island port 10 San Francisco the
Coptic bucked strong head winds.
Viscount T. Tori Of Japan was a
passenger as far as Honolulu. He viii
visit this country before returning to
Japan. Among the passengers who
arrived here yesterday was Mrs. Fred
Ringer Of Nagasak Mrs. Ringers
husband is a member Of the firm CT
Holme Ringer & Co She is going to
Europe, making the trip for her health.
Captain Forteath and Captain r.
Kilbee- Stuart. both of the British
army, were passengers on the liner.
They have been on duty in the Far
East and are returning TO England on
leave Of absence. There were several
missionaries among the COptic's pas
sengers, which fact, according to the
sailors, accounted for the head winds
encountered coming up from Homo
lulu.
The Coptic brought more passengers
than any Of the smaller oriental liners
coming this way has carried in some
time. Homeward bound vessels will
be crowded, it is said. for some time,
many business men coming home to es-
cape the heat. When the Coptic left
Hongkong the demand for accommoda-
ticns was in excess of the available
space.
The Coptic's passengers included the
following named:

The transaction set out in this case
was not one between attorney and
client. and therefore not privileged
the testimony of the attorney relating
to matters occurring after the suit was
ended.
Judges do not preside over courts as
moderators, but as essential and ac-
tive factors in the administration OF
Justice. 1t is therefore not only prop
er. but sometimes necessary, that the
presiding judge should ask questions
Of q witness, after he has been exam

1t was error not to leave to the jury
the answer to the second issue as to
the counter-claim in this case-wheth-
err. Notwithstanding the agreement to
withdraw the money from the bank,
the defendant was not entitled to re-
cover of the plaintiff the damages sus-
tanned by the alleged breach of the
contract, and for this error q new
trial is ordered on the second issue.

From New Hanover. New trial.
Where an employee in a cotton mill
was injured by being caught in cog
wheels to machinery not under her
charge and while she was engaged
in work not within the scope of her
duties, it was error in an action TO
recover damages thus sustained, to re-
fuse the prayer that if the jury found
that the plaintiff failed to exercise
that care which an ordinarily prudent
person would exercise, and was in
iured by reason of failure to exercise
such care, then she contributed to
the injury by her own negligence and
cannot recover.

ture of the Minot Ledge light house,
the number Of men in charge OF 1T has
been increased to five, in order that
they may have frequent leaves from
duty and take turns in going ashore
for a visit to family and friends. This
system has resulted in q decrease in
the number of cases of melancholla
and more serious mental disorders. In
fact, but for the frequent change
made in the service by shifting men
from one station to another, the num-
Der of cases of this sort everywhere
would be much greater than they are.
In some cases a man is kept in a
place for year, but more usually he
is there for only a few months. ana
then sent to some less isolated station
for awhile.
Food for the Mind.
To give the men something to think
about other than their loneliness and
to occupy the long hours during which
they have nothing to do, circulating Ii
braries of fifty books each are pro-
vided. The books are carefully Sc
lected and changed every three
months when the inspector makes his
visit. In the collection are biography,
history, travel, fiction, poetry, illus
trated magazines and in some cases
newspapers. Also medicine chests are
provided, for relief in case of sickness.
and careful directions given for the
use of their contents.
Despite the dangers and hardships
Of light house life, there are many APP
plications for positions in them. When
ever a vacancy occurs in the service,
there are always a number of men to
select from. And yet the pay is small.
In fact, the law provides that the av
erage compensation given keepers
shall not exceed 5000 a year. There
are great number who get less than
that: there are q few who get more.
Probably the best paid keeper in the
service is the man at He'll Gate, who
sets 1900 year. Some of our keep
ers in Alaska also get we'll paid. They
are so isolated that four keepers to a
light house have to be provided, and
even then they frequently go insane.
