New Grocery House.

1t is reported that the store of
Chris Marelia on Court street has
been rented to William Schroeder,
and will be opened in few weeks as
a first class grocery house. Mr.
Schroeder is thoroughly conversant
with the grocery business, having
been employed for some years in that
line in this city. He is we'll liked,
and will no doubt command a liberal
patronage. According to report, he
intends combining himself to grocery,
provisions and kindred lines exclus-
lively, and will not deal in liquors in
any way. He has for the past year
or more been employed for the l. &
E. Railroad at Martells and is still
there.

Wildman-Mahoney Mine

A telephone message was received
in Suffer Creek a few days ago from
jackson Dennis to the effect that he
in company with the management of
the Wildman mine would be up some
time this week to make preparations
for pumping all the water out of the
mines. He stated that sufficient
money had been obtained to carry on
this work, and that the purpose of it
all is to open it up to the view of
prospective buyers. just before the
iWlldman- NJ ahoney closed down the
workmen uncovered ledge of low
grade ore over one hundred feet in
thickness. But the operating funds
of the company had given out, and
the mine had produced such small
amount of gold for some time that
the management had been unable to
procure further funds, and the men
had ceased working and placed liens
upon the property. But the lien
holders have been very liberal with
the company, not forcing them at any
time and listening to promise after
promise from it. The owners have
been playing for time right from the
time the first lien was placed, and
have succeeded we'll IN gaining it.
And during this time the mine has
been filling up with water. The COM
pany has made several propositions
to the miners and other lien holders,
but they could never quite agree.
The company wanted to pay out as
little cash as possible, but the men
wouldn't stand for it. There are
good reasons on both sides for this.
The company knows that if they ever
reopen the mine they will have
to pay their bills, while if they don't
open it and don't pay up, the miners
can take over the property under the
mechanics lien law. But the COM
pany ran out of funds and has found
trouble in procuring more even
though it is we'll known that an
extensive low grade body of ore
exists, and especially since capital
lists have been holding onto their
money for the past mum Der of months.
On the other hand the workmen are
willing to compromise and accept
one-half in cash and the rest in
stock. They need this money to pay
off their bills. But Mr. Morphy has
interested other parties who are will
ing to put up the cash to have the
mine pumped so they can have the
body of ore exported.

Committed for Insanity.

Louis G. Corotto was brought over
from Suffer Creek Wednesday and
examined for insanity. Drs. Gall
aud Schact were the examining physi-
clans, and upon the evidence put for
ward by the witnesses, Fred Rabb
and D. A. Fraser, and from his
actions at the time of examination,
he was adjudged insane and ordered
committed to the Stockton Asylum
for treatment. He came under the
impression that he was to get a
license to marry woman there. He
had given her considerable money
during the past two years, with
which she purchased piano and
other furniture, giving him an agree
ment for repayment. But instead of
retaining the paper he burned it. In
the middle of September he clearly
showed that he was not in his right
mind, and was taken to a private
sanitarium at Livermore, but was
discharged about a month later.
Since his return his actions have
been those of a man mentally un-
balanced. He is a native of Suffer
Greek, thirty six years of age and has
lived there all his life. When he was
twenty one years old he accidently
shot himself in the arm while out
hunting. Most of the time since
then he has conducted a notion store
there.

Insane Patient Barred
BY the Holiday Clause.

A singular situation occurred at
the Stockton insane asylum recently.
man was committed to the asylum
for insanity, the order of court being
made on one of the legal holidays
declared by the governor. The
authorities of the asylum it seems
refused to admit the patient. The
papers were all regular enough, and
we presume there was no question
about the insanity of the man. But
the order of court was made on a
legal holiday. 1t was a judicial act,
and the law says no judicial pro-
ceedings can be had on such days.
The Stockton officials therefore CON
sidered the order illegal, and de-
clined to recognize it. This makes a
curious situation. Insane persons.
according to this must be held in
their respective counties without ex-
amination' until the legal holidays
are over.
The Stockton Independent says:
The effect of the declaring of holt
days has had more far reaching
effect than most people would at first
Imagine. Under the holiday clause
even crazy patient cannot be accept
ed at any of the State institutions
unless it is shown that his condition
is such that his being at large would
be absolutely dangerous to the COM
munity. Recently one of the Sacra-
mento officers brought an insane man
to the local institution, but upon his
arrival here was refused admission for
his patient.
DR.. Fred Clark, relative to the
matter, stated that the attorney for
the lunacy board has said that all
commitments are void unless the
legislature pass an act to Iegalize
them or allows subsequent legaliza-
tion by means of another commit
ment after the holidays are over. In
the opinion of the attorney, public
policy warrants the detention of the
patient if it is shown that his con-
dition is such that he is unsafe to be
at large,

Chicago Baby Weighs
But Pound and Half.

One of the smallest and most per-
fectly formed infants of premature
birth ever known to medical science
lies contentedly in diminutive
incubator in the room of its mother,
Mrs Edna Hess, wife of Charles e.
Hess, civil engineer. The baby,
when born October 18th, weighed
little more than pound, and
measured but fourteen inches in
length. Over its perfectly formed
wrists It's mother easily slipped her
wedding ring. During the three
weeks that have elapsed the baby has
gained only few ounces, and now
weighs but a pound and half.

The Holiday Business.

The holiday business is bearing
hard on the legal profession. There
has been no business transacted in
the superior court of this county
since the 18th of last month. No
steps can be taken for the collection
of debts, or the trial of criminals
Everything in the courts is at stand
still. But the public offices are open
for other business; schools are rum
ing and so forth. 1t is a holiday
time in some respects, and not in
others. Altogether it is a curious
anomaly, and the sooner it is ended
the better it will be for the interests
of the state generally.

Liens on the Burlington

Another of Sutter Creeks mines is
in trouble, though it is thought to be
only temporary. This time it is the
Burlington mine, located on Suffer
creek about mile and half above
the town. Mechanics liens aggregat-
ing Sl542 have been placed upon the
property by the former workmen.
The plant ON the claim comprises a
hoist and a six stamp mill, and was
in the charge of Frank bernardo.
The Company is supposed to be per-
fectly solvent. but the mine closed
down on the twelfth of last month,
probably on account of the present
shortness of money.

The constables throughout the state
have organized a California Con-
stables Association. They met IN
annual session in Stockton this week,
and appointed committee to urge
upon the next legislature the matter
of increasing salaries and fees. The
constable's office as far as Amado or
is concerned, is about as fat, all
things considered, as the average
county officers; but the worn out
plea is to be made that increase of
pay would insure more efficient SER

JAPANESE EMIGRATION.

Baron Chinda. vice minister of foreign affairs. drove to the American embassy from the sta ton and discussed the American pro- pOsals and suggestions offered Iy Am bassador O'Brien from the lelp of the Japanese government. It is un- derstOod that the discussion was em- inently satisfactory and that q mem- Orandum on the subject in the shape of a reply will soon lle forthcoming. It k quite evident now that the Jap anese government recognizes that the mistakes of administration nu tIe part of q minor official In the past created the present difficult situation aud is determined that the future restriction of emigration will make complaints from the American government and people impossible.

NO END OF LIFE.
The Condition of Some of the Lower
 Organisms.

Death is not a universal accom- paniment of life. In the lower or ganisms death does not occur as q natural and necessary result of life. Death with them is purely the result of an accident, some external cause Natural death is a thing which has been acquired in the process Of evo- lution. Why should it have been ae- quired? You will, think. readily answer this question if you hold that the views which have been bringing before you have been wei. defended. by saying that it is due to different iation. that when the cells acquire the additional faculty of passing be- yond the simple stage 10 the more complicated organization. they lose something of their vitality, something of their power of growth. something of their possibilities of perpetnati0n: and, as the organization in the pTo- cess of evolution becomes higher and higher. this necessity for change be- comes more and more imperative But it involves the end. Dif1eFauti- ation leads up as it's inevitable con- elusion tO death. Death is the price VIC are obliged to pay for our Urgani- zation for the differentiation which exists ia us.
