difficulty. 1t is not only in this
graveyard matter that the feeling of
jealousy against Jackson's growth and
inf1unce has developed. The control
of the town by the supervisors is
detrimental in other ways. At the
last meeting petition was presented
asking for reduction of the license
on shooting galleries from S25 to S5
per month. 1t was refused. 1t is
we'll know that Jackson is the only
town in the county where such bust
ness could live, even at the reduced
rate. The denial, therefore, was
slap at the county seat; refusal, as
far as the board was concerned, of
permission to start another business
enterprise here, that cannot live
under the existing prohibitory Ii
cense.
With such spirit directing affairs,
the county seat is handicapped. The
envy of jackson was shown in express
words, as we'll as unjust action. 1t
is regrettable to be forced TO admit
the display of such spirit, but it is
no use to close our eyes to facts. We
must seek the remedy, and apply it
as soon as possible. And the remedy
is in our own hands. We can simply
take the territorial limits of the town
out of the hands of the supervisors,
and manage our own affairs to suit
ourselves. We are not compelled to
be at the mercy and dictation of out
side representatives any longer than
we choose to. We mistake the spirit
of Jackson's citizens if they submit
to such imposition indefinitely.

CUTTING SCRAPE.

Joseph Sanchez was the main actor
in cutting affray that occurred IN
Sutter Creek last Friday night. 1t
seems that the Italian couple who
skipped off to Angels to get married,
resulting in the arrest of Banche, the
would be groom at the instance of the
parents of Bina Lepitich, the bride,
and were brought back to jackson,
made up the difference with the OBJ
Jecting mater, and we're married Fri
day. In Sutter Creek, where the groom
lives they were enjoying social
dance in celebrating the wedding.
Sanchez appeared at the house of
mirth. He is the same mustang
breaker who got into trouble in jack
son two weeks ago by riding his horse
on the sidewalk and into business
places in-Jackson. He was under the
influence of liquor. He wanted to
join in the festivities, and the desire
of the festal gathering was to get rid
OF him in the easiest fashion. He
promised to go if one dance was
given him and the crowd reluctantly
consented. But he was not satisfied
then, so one of the male participants
started to put him out. He thrust
his hand through the glass door.
When further demonstrated with he
drew knife and slashed an Italian
over the heart. The blade did not
penetrate the cavity, but missed
doing so by very slender margin.
The man is i'll a precarious condition.
Not satisfied with this he slashed
another Italian, cutting his clothing,
missing the flesh. He then pulled a
pistol and fred two shots, both of
which went Wild. He then retired to
his room, where the constable soon
visited him. He feigned to be asleep.
The knife covered with blood was
found under his pillow. He is now
in the county Jail, awaiting the result
of victims injuries. Sanchez came
from Texas about year ago, and has
been in Amador and Calaveras coun-
ty most of the time since. Sanchez
was taken before Justice Rose on
Wednesday, and had his examination.
He was held to answer, with bail
bonds fixed at $500. His victim will
recover.

President Palma was able to con-
gratulate the Cuban congress in his
annual message on a notable increase
in the foreign trade of the island. He
reported that the imports for the fis-
cal year ending June 80 last were $74,-
492 200. an increase Of $11, ,S72 900, and
that the exports were $94,399, 900, an
increase Of S16,OO0.0O0. He did not
state the proportion of the increase in
the trade with the United States, but
our own government statistics show
that it is considerable. We sold Cuba
in the fiscal year, according to our
computation, s26,9Os,OOO of goods, an
increase of $5,147,OO0 over the fiscal
year 1903, and we bought from Cuba
SIC 1885,, 900, an increase of $14,041, 900.
AS compared with 1902, our sales were
almost the same, but our purchases
had more than doubled.

Abyssinia Is being wired" Some
1000 miles of telephone line have been
put up and as much more is being
laid The work is no joke. The rains
and the poles fell. The white ants ate
up a large collection Of wooden poles.
Then iron ones were put up, which
the simple native liked so well that
he took them home to use in his busi-
ness. The Negus stopped the amuse-
ment by proclaiming death to the pole
pilferers. But the royal mandate can
not prevent the Bandarlog, the mon
key people, from swinging in the wires
or-what is much more delightful
the elephant from scratching himself
against the poles. The telephone pole
is a scratching post for elephants.
Thus does civilization provide home
comforts for the jungle people.

Food adulteration, for many years a
subject of contention and discussion
in scientific quarters, has received its
most serious consideration at the
hands of the international jury of
awards at the Louisiana Purchase Ex-
position. After several months of
close scrutiny of many food samples
and the most careful scientific investi-
CATION the jurors uncovered conditions
that are astonishing. According to
Paul Pierce superintendent of food
exhibits at the fair, the following is
AN actual breakfast In working
mans home in indianapolis: Fried
sausage, colored with aniline red and
adulterated with about 10 per cent Of
corn grits; apple butter, colored with
anime red and loaded with glucose;
butter, colored with azo dye and adul-
terated with 10 per cent excess Of
water; coffee, glazed with a glazing
compound Of dextrine and starch, and
colored with brown aniline dye; bread
cheap, soggy bakers stuff not suffi-
ciently baked and containing glucose
and malt extract; potatoes; gravy,
made from -four, milk and the drip
from colored and adulterate1 sausage.
This breakfast consisted of seven artl-
cles, Of which only one-potatoes-
was normal.

In London Notes and Queries of 1858

writer of the same date tries to trace
the word through France into Italy
Starting with the assumption that
piquenique in French implies party
at which each guest provides some
special duty, he finds the Italian ex-
preston nicchia duty and piccola "a

coins piccola nicchia picnic). A French

A Second ORense.

The tramp arrested for vagrancy
rarely displays any humor, but the
New York Tribune mentions one
whose mild waggishness enlivened his
own trial.
After the Judge had looked the man
over, he said, musingly, II seem to
know your face"
YES" the tramp agreed, pleasantly,

"Nonsense!" said the judge, frown-

But we were," the tramp said, with

The immense amount of money Civ
en- during the last ten years for widely
different objects finds no parallel in
history. 1t Is true large sums Of mon
ey in times past have been given to
the church, and during the middle ages
what was given to the church includ-
ed education, libraries and charities as
we'll as religion, but there was nothing
like the lavish outpouring of money
there has been Of late, especially in
America. Libraries and universities
have come In for so large share of
these gifts that the most remote ham
let is likely to be provided with all
the reading one can desire, while uni
versity privileges reach out to all who
are willing to seize them. What turn
will this fad for giving take next?
The good impulse is evidently destined
to continue and to find new channels.
Education Is all right, but even the
capacity to learn has its limits, and
there are other needs in life besides
brain culture. Scientific investigation
ought to come in for a large share of
benefit in the future. Each new dis
covery and invention opens the way
for demand for others. Much as has
been accomplished Of late by way of
scientific research, the field is endless
and at present demands large sums of
money. There can be no greater boon
to humanity than further success in
the fields opened by Koch, Finsen,
Ramsay, Becquerel, the Curries and
others, but these interests cannot be
pursued by scientists to any great ex-
| tent unless means are generously pro-
| vided. 1t Is not the part Of a republi-
| can government to foster experiments
or provide means for other than imme-
date demands, but it is the privilege
of those gifted with the facility for
money making or on whom fortune
has bestowed her favors to advance
these interests by generous donations.
1t is something to find and conquer
new worlds in science, but to be the
patron of these discoverers, to be the
one to enable them to accomplish the
deed is scarcely less honor than is his
who has the genius for doing it. While
the fad for giving is on let the scein-
lists have their share Of the funds.

Frances Money Troubles.

The French are having a hard time
with their nickels. The old ones were
so much like the silver franc piece
that the people protested; they kept
giving a piece worth 20 cents for one
worth g. At last they have changed
the shape. The new nickel will be
rounded with acute corners so that by
the simple touch the difference will be
perceptible. About twenty millions
will, In few days, be thrown into
circulation.-Br Brooklyn Eagle.
