Judges Keen Sense Of Smell

In recent case before Judge Fee
ly Of the twelfth judicial court CT
Rhode Island, at Woonsocket, a
great deal of fun was created by the
different descriptions of pig that
the defendant was charged with
stealing, but which he claimed to
have bought and placed in a pen
with other pigs.
There were such varied descrip-
tions of The pig that finally the coun-
Gil for the defendant announced
that the pig in question was within
reach and could be readily produced
in court. The air in the court room,
which was pretty we'll crowded, had
become rather foul by this time. AS
the lawyer made this announcement
Judge F'eely leaned forward and
whispered to the clerk: Say, Charlie

THE QUESTION as to whether

THE QUESTION as to whether
a special election will have to be
called for the purpose of elect
ing a mayor is being generally
discussed and a great many
theories advanced. tits conced-
ed that Mr.. Nelson as postmaster
will not be allowed under the
regulations of the Post Office
department to hold also the
office of mayor. whether he will
qualify for the Office of mayor
and then resign, or whether he
will not qualify and allow the
present incumbent Mayor Irish
to hold over, is a question that
must be settled by Mr.. Nelson
himself. His appointment as
postmaster was confirmed by
the senate on April 9th, and he
will undoubtedly take possession
within few days. If he does
not qualify then Mayor Irish
will hold over until an election is
held. Mr.. Irish is anxious to be
relieved from the duties and will
undoubtedly resign as soon as
the council has been organized.
We are of the opinion from a
careful reading of the law that,
the President of the council can
only act until an election is call
ed and that it never contemplated
that a city should be without an
executive head. The Law plain
~ states. "That the president OF
the council shall be acting mayor
during the absence or disability
of the mayor" but it does not
permit the president to perform
the duties Of the mayor while
there is a vacancy, for the reason
that there should be no vacancy.
So that in the event of failure to
qualify Mr.. Irish would be the
mayor, until an election can be
held. If Mr.. Nelson qualities he
would be the mayor until an
election is held, regardless OF
the fact that he has rendered
his resignation. He cannot drop
it by a simple resignation, he
must serve until his successor
qualities.

WITH fitting services common
orative of Christ's triumphal en-
try into Jerusalem, Palm Sunday
the sixth Sunday in lent, and the
first day of holy week, was OBJ
served in the churches last Sun
day. Palm Sunday is SO called
from the ancient custom of bless
ing palms. or other trees in coun-
tries where palms do not grow.
The origin of this celebration is
enshrouded in the mists of the
fourth century, and the ceremony
of the blessing of the branches
was adopted in the eighth or
ninth century.
The popular observance of the
day consists of professions with
the participant carrying branch
es Of palms and singing hymns.
In Spain and Spanish America
it is the custom for the priest to
lead, mounted on an ass, follow
ed by the worshipers. Upon re-
turning to the church, the doors
of which had been closed in the
meantime, a sub-deacon knocks
and the doors are thrown open
while the procession re-enters.

solemn mass, and after It's con-
clusion the branches are taken

UNITED RAILROADS
MAKING MONEY.
Officials Admit to New
Workers That Receipts
VIII Soon Show a Gain
STOCKS ARE BOOMING

The officials of the United Rail-
roads have Just given out figures in
New York, showing that the receipts
of the great corporation since the re-
cent disaster have been nearly as
heavy as before that time. The United
Railroads makes public these facts in
New York so that it's stock on the
Wall-street market may rise. But here
in the city, where it is making
the money, the railway officials never
say word about the prosperous con-
dirion of affairs.
One of the confidential agents Of the
company made it his business to visit
the great newspapers and financial
journals in New York and give TO them
the figures showing the wonderful
growth of the town and the remarkable
strides toward prosperity the street car
system has made in the last seven
months.
The metropolitan journals printed
this interesting news and incidentally
predicted a great future for our city.
Down on Wall street wise men in the
ring marveled at it and saw great
things ahead for United Railroads
stocks in the near future.
During the month of June. a few
weeks otter the disaster, the receipts
of the United Railroads were but s26.-
523 less than the corresponding month
in 1893 After paying all it's expenses
the corporation had a surplus of no less
than S7946S All this money was made
despite the fact that more than a doz-
en- lines that carried thousands of pas
sengers before the fire had not been
started
The next month the United Rail-
roads made even more money for it's
stockholders, for the receipts reached
the fabulous figure OF $500 1885, de-
During the months of August and Sep
tember a strike on the lines for several
days made just comparison of the
receipts impossible. but still the ratio
at which the money kept pouring into
the Golfers showed only too plainly
that the corporation made money even
then, the receipts for August being
$424S3S
Before the calamity the daily average
receipts Of the United Railroads tOtaled
in the neighborhood of 10000. Two
months ago the company was daily
taking in more than $4,000. Conserva-
tive fnancfers say that the company's
receipts during the month of October.
which have not vet been made known.
will nearly equal the amount taken in
during October. 1905.
These figures show only too plainly
that the United Railroads will in
few months be making more money
than it did prior to April of the pres
ent year. And still about ten or twelve
lines that helped swell the earnings
last year are not in commission as yet.
The company is running more than zoo
less cars and. therefore. the actual run
ming expenses are naturally less by
many thousands of dollars day.
These figures all speak volumes for
San Francisco, They show better than
anything else how rapidly the city is
progressing.
