Board would have been in session
q good part of the week. In
stead, the session was completed
Monday afternoon, and more
solid business was transacted
than. at the January, February,
March and April meetings COM
bined. Compared with these
four months Mondays was a
love feast. The spirit to please
was especially enjoyed by those
wanting engineers licenses. All

approving the bills, the follow
ing business was transacted:

municate with Joe Buzzetti re-

The lawyer sat down beside the pris-
oner, hold ng one of his hands. The
prosecuting attorney rose, cleared his
throat, and began his speech He did
not talk long, and he closed with a
request that the members of the jury
do their duty.
The judges charge was scattering
and disconnected, and the jury paid
little attention to it,
The jury rendered verdict of "No
guilty" within ten minutes, and fif-
teen minutes later the acquitted man
was in IA room in the hotel with the
gray haired lawyer.

THE UNITED STATES THE ONLY
DUMP.

A British paper observes that an
official document has been issued on
the prospects of emigration from the
United Kingdom at the present time
from which it appears that emigrants
will not be allowed to land in Cape
Colony unless they have previously
secured employment, or possess at
least twenty pounds. There seems to
be no hope for the emigrant in Natal
He is warned not to go opt unless he
obtains nominated passage through
friends in the Colony" No one can
enter either the Transvaal or the
Orange River Colony without per-
nit. In both the supply of labor ex
ceeds the demand.
Canada wants farm laborers "as
soon as posible,' but they must know
their business, must be able to milk,
to look after cattle, horses, sheep, OF
pigs, and must know something about
the killing and dressing nf animals.
But for mechanics there is no de-
mand. New South Wales does not
want any more emigrants. Victoria
offers no prospect except to dairy far
mers and fruit growers, with little
capital, while South Australia has no
welcome for anyone who has not had
experience of fruit growing and gen.
eral farming, and tn addition about
1000 or 1000 pounds to exploit AS
for Queensland, there is no demand
there for workers of any description.
The story from Western Australia is
better. There has been demand for
agricultural laborers in few districts
but only men who understand to some
extent machinery are required. Tas-
mania is able to supply its own
labor, and only those with tidy
purse are invited.

DEATH OF JOHN II. COX.

John Ii. Cox, former resident of
Amador county, died last week III
San Francisco. He attended ditch for
many years tor the Amador Canal,
on the Clinton beat. For some time
he has been employed in the city,
his family having moved there several
years ago. He will be remembered as
a man of many sterling qualities, and
his many friends throughout the
county will regret to hear of his
death The Examiner of the 10th, has
the following account of his demise:
On October IL, 1904, Cox, who was IA
years of age and a native of Prince
Edwards Island, injured his hand
with rusty nail while removing
building debris at Fillmore street
and Duboce avenue. His wife, his
two sons and his daughter -inlaw say
that on October 18th he vent under
the treatment of DR.. Carl Won Tiede-
mann, and that he remained under
Won Tiedemapn's treatment until
April 5th. They say that Won Tiede-
mann contracted to cure Cox for
800, and that they paid him S75 of
that amount. Won Tiedeman says he
was discharged three months ago.
when a christian scientist was called
into the case. 1t was for that reason,
says Won Tiedemann, that he refused
to sign the death certificate.
Detective Cody says that after Won
Iiedemann gave up the case Silas M
Cox, son of John H. Cox, called III
Charles M. Howe, a christian scien-
tist, with Office in the Phelan build
ing. This, says Cody, was done
against the wishes of the sick man s
wife, his other son and his daughter
in-law. The final result was that
Cox died of gangrene of the left foot,
Now, DIR. Dudley Taft of the State
Board OF Medical Examiners hiss been
called in for the purpose of handling
Won Tiedemann. TAFT has been pro-
scouting Won Tiedemann ON the
charge of practicing medicine with
out licence, and the coroner thinks
that TAFT should know all about Won
Tiedemann' connection with the
Cox case.

Joe" JEFFERSON'S
THEORY OF IMMORTALITY

1t is now related since Jefferson's
death that on one of their fishing ex-
cursions few years since with his in
innate friends, E. g. Benedict and
former President Cleveland, Mr..
Jefferson recited tue following origl-
nal verses, which he termed doggerel,
as expressive # his views of the
future life:
Two caterpillars crawling on a Leaf,
BY some strange accident in con-
tact came;
Their conversation. passing all belief,
Was that same argument, the very
same,
That has been "proed and conned''
from man to man,
Yea, ever since this wonderous world
began.
The ugly creatures,
Deaf and dumb and blind,
Devoid of features
That adorn mankind,
We're vain enough, in dull and world
ly strife,
10 speculate upon future life,
The first was optimistic, full of hope:
The second, quite dyapeptic, seemed
to nope.
Said number one, "i'm sure of our
salvation"
SAID number two, "l'm sure of our
damnation;
Our ugly forms alone would seal our
fates
And bar the entrance through the
golden gates.
Suppose that death shonld take US
unawares,
How could we climb the golden stalrs
Ii maiden5 shun us as they pass us by
Would angels bid us welcome in the
sky?
l wonder what great crimes we have
committed,
That leaves us so forIorn and so un-
pitied.
Perhaps we've been nngTatefuI, un-
torgiving;
Ills plain to me that life's not worth
the living"
Come, come, cheer up the jovial
worm replied,
Let's take look upon the other side
Suppose we cannot fly like moths or
millers,
Are we to blame for being cater
pillars?
Will that same God that doomed us
crawl the earth,
A prey to every bird that's given birth
Forgive our captor as he eats and
sings,
And damn poor US because we have
not wings?
IT we can't skim the air like owl or
bat,
A worm will turn for that. a
They argued through the summer;
autumn nigh,
The ugly things composed themselves
to die;
And 50 to make their funeral COM
plete,
Each wrapped himself in his little
winding sheet.
The tangled web encompassed them
full soon;
Each for his coffin made him a cocoon
All though the winters chilling blast
they lay
Dead to the world, aye, dead as hu-
man clay.
Lo, spring comes forth with all her
warmth and love;
She brings sweet justice from the
realms above;
She breaks the chrysalis, she resur-
rects the dead;
Two butterflies ascend encircling her
head.
And so this emblem shall forever be
A sign of Immortality.

correctly stated but its purpose was
legitimate and commendable and war
rants the expectation of beneficial re-
suits. At a recent meeting in Chicago
the lines west Of that city from the
Canadian border to the gulf, adopted
the following resolution:
6 That a joint committee of lines in
the western trunk line committee, the
TranSmissOuri freight bureau, south
western tariff committee and the
transcontinental freight rate commit
tee be appointed and instructed to wait
upon the interstate commerce com
mission, the desire and purpose of the
respective members of said commit
tees or bureaus being to cooperate
with the commission in the enforce
ment of the law to the extent of point
ing out ways and means and giving the
commission any specific information
that may come to its knowledge which
will lead to effective inquiry in uncOv-
ering unlawful practices
1.-THE object of the joint committee
whose names have already been pub
lished, was to present this resolution
and assure the commission of the
united and determined disposition of
the lines represented to conform TO
the law in good faith and in every re-
Spect and to aid. the commission in It's
enforcement. Pledges to this effect
were given by all present with the
further promise to report every Illegal
transaction which may come to their
knowledge or of which they may have
well grounded suspicious.
ssWhiIe this visit was unsolicited, as
above stated. it was not unwelcome
and the commission have no reason to
doubt the sincerity of the movement
or of its value. That it will result in
the complete discOntinuance of wrong
full practices is perhaps too much to
expect. for time alone will test the
degree of it's usefulness, but a marked
Improvement in the observance OF
tariff rates may be fairly anticipated.
If the promised cooperation is
actually and continuously afforded, the
payment of rebates and the granting
of secret advantages will be, it is
hoped. reduced to minimum.

MAY SIGN ANOTHER's NAME.
New York Court Gives This Right to
Man Purchasing Ticket.

New York, Dec 29.-The> right to
sign another mans name to a railroad
ticket which has been sold by one
passenger to another was affirmed by
the supreme court here yesterday.
This decision establishes a precedent
in the exchange of railroad tickets.
The decision was given by Justice
Leventritt in the case of Archibald c.
Newburn, accused of having forged
the name of George E. Whitcomb to
railroad ticket. Whitcomb was the
original purchaser Of this ticket and
sold it to NeWburn. The ticket was
for a round trip between New York
and Indianapolis over the New York
Central, Big Four and Lake Shore
railroads. Newburn was arrested
here when he signed WhitcOmbs
name to the ticket. Justice Leventritt
held that the mere sale of the ticket
carried with it the purchasers right
to sign to it the name of the man
from whom he bought it.

WOMAN DEFIEs A RAILROAD.
With Amazonian Courage She Pre-
vents having of a Switch.

Chicago. Dec. 29.-Nrs Minnie Thomp-
son, who is 65 years of age, deted Chl-
cago, Rock Island and Pacific working
crew with a shotgun for four days. es-
terday her efforts to prevent the rallroau
company from building a switch IN In ae9
alley in the rear OF her properly a. 4 81
Ninety-fifth street were supported by the
city administration.
The railroad company for several days
had a crew at work constructing the
switch track and the track was lad py
the property of other holders. When Mrs.
Thompson alley was reached the WORK
men were put to rOut at the slghI OF the
aged woman aiming double DarreIeu
shotgun at their heads and threatening 10
shoot if they did not stop their Worh.
Mrs Thompson had previously investl-
gated the records and found that the city
had granted no authority to the railroad
company to erect such a switch track
Sure of her ground she proceeded TO
brighten the WOrkmen away until more
drastic action could be taken. When she
was not on guard with the shotgun an IN
valid son took her place.
Yesterday Commissioner Patterson in
formed the railway officials that the con-
struction of the switch track must be
stopped and Chief Collins was notified to
see that the order was obeyed
The city had adopted no ordinance pro-
viding for such a switch track, but not
Withstanding this Alderman Moynlnan
protested to Commissioner patterson yes
terday against the city taking action
When he could not carry this point the
alderman insisted that the track which IS
already laid should not be disturbed. In
this he was also defeated. as Commission
er Patterson further ordered that the
track already constructed should be torn
up Assistant superintendent of Streets
Mccarthy was assigned to carry out this
order and a police guard was sent with a
or w of men to do the work yesterday al
ternoon.
When the neighbors of Mrs. Thompson
saw the effect of her work they cheered
her and the aged woman was given a
glorious reception last night. Mrs. Thomp-
son had determined to carry on the fight
to the end and had ordered AntOinetta
Funk her attorney. to secure an injunc-
ton against the railroad if the city did
not take decisive action.
Mrs. Thompson's vigil began last Fri
day She remained on guard with her
gun by her side for several hours, sta
tioning herself in a small shed back of the
house When she grew tired her invalid
son took I'D the watch and they worked
in relays day and night. Police were ap-
pealed to by the railroad authorities and
this led to a discovery of the fact that the
city had passed no ordinance permitting
the construction of the switch track.
