1t is a long way to Kernsberg. Let no
wench in the world put this shame
upon a reigning prince of CORTLAND
upon his wedding day"
Thus Ivan of Muscovy, attired in
silk, banded of black and gold, coun-
seled the disdained Prince Louis, who
stood pushing upward with his two
fingers the point of his thin greyish
beard and gnawing its struggling ends
between his teeth.
The Prince Louis appeared to be
moved by Prince Wasps words. He
turned about to the nearest knight-in-
waiting.
Let us to horse-every man of usl"
he said. bid that the steeds be
brought instantly"
The banded Wasp had further coun
sells to give.
Give out that you go to meet the
princess at a rendezvous. For
pleasantly between yourselves, you
have resolved to spend the honeymoon
at a distant hunting-lodge. Quick!
Not half a dozen of all the company
caught the true import of her words.
| You will tame her yet"
At the command of the prince the
trumpets rang out again the Boot

cathedral. At the sound, the grooms,
| who were here and there in the press,
hasted to find and caparison the
horses of their lords Meanwhile, on
the wide steps the Prince Louis
fretted, dinting his nails restlessIy in
to his palms and shaking with anger
and disappointment till his deep
sleeves shook like scarlet flames in a
veneering wind.

Suddenly she was conscious that

RAILROAD TRACKS
To CONE UP

A committee of property owners
headed by w. w McNulty and H Re-
mus appeared before the Board of
Works yesterday and protested against
the maintenance of tracks by the
United Railroads across Unadilla and
Geneva avenues and other Instructions
in the form of fences, houses and a
lumber yard in Tara and Howth streets.
The committee said that these prevent
ed free ingress to and egress from
their properties in the district and
that the streets were being grabbed
without permission from the city au-
thorities.
City Engineer Woodward filed a map
showing the location of the obstruc-
tions and recommended that the streets
be opened to traffic The Works Board
directed Policeman Beach to serve no.
tice on the officials of the United Rail-
roads to remove it's tracks from the
streets named and also to cause the
removal of all other distractions in
the district.
The board ordered paid a bill of S7S1
for the replanking of the Charles street
bridge, although it held that the ex-
pense should be borne by the South
ern Pacific Company, which has it's
tracks on the bridge.
Policeman Beach was directed to
cause the removal of house obstruct-
ing Fremont court and of a fence in
Lombard alley.
The board recommended that the
width of sidewalks on Hayes street
from Larkin to Fillmore be reduced to
twelve feet.

MONEY BALM FOR
INJURED ANKLE

Because the car from which she
alighted had stopped so near a gutter
that she stepped into it and injured her
ankle Mary Maxwell will receive a COM
Portable sum by order of the court from
the Fresno City Railway Company. She
sued for $4,000 and won her case in
the Superior Court, and the District
Court of Appeal sustained the decision
in her favor yesterday.
The case is remarkable from the fact
that the car was standing still at a
transfer point when she alighted. 1t
was twenty inches from the step to
the ground in the edge of the gutter
where she put her foot and injured her
ankle. The appeal was made to the
higher court on the ground that the
woman need not have stepped into the
gutter If she had looked at the ground
before getting off the car, but this mat
ter is answered in part as follows in
the decision of yesterday:
Although it is apparent that she made no
careful examination of the ground to which
she stepped. cannot say that the Jury
were obliged TO say that she did not exercise
the care that the average person would use
under similar circumstances BY stopping the
front Of her the defendant in effect invited
her TO get of at that point

gree OF care to safely transport and deliver its
passengers, the passengef may rely somewhat

BAR WOMEN FROM
AVENUE SALOONS

Golden Gate avenue has been singled
out by Police Commissioner Leahy as
the place where women will not be al

hensible lines than was the practice
on Golden Gate avenue.
After deciding upon the campaign
against the saloonkeepers along the
avenue, who were openly violating the
law. Captain Mooney notified the two
largest establishments, Schiff's and
Casserly's. that they must at once
cease selling liquor to women patrons
and also notified the minor liquor deal
ers of the ruling of Commissioner
Leahy.
AT C6SSerlyS the observance OF the
law was a mere farce. The Golden Gate
avenue entrance was closed, but the
Franklin street entrance remained
open for the accommodation Of the wo-
men patrons. Across the street the
place of Ike Bloom ran wide open, re-
ceiving it's patrons, male and female,
as usual.

the privilege or serving women patrons
the other saloons conducted under the
indulgent eye of Abe Ruef and the ad-
ministration in general should be sub
ject to the same police regulation. The
saloons in Fillmore street and other
parts Of the city where licenses were
secured through the favor of the ad-
ministration have not been molested
and the sale of liquor to women goes
on unchecked as far as police inter
ference is concerned.

THIRD TRIAL ENDS
IN DISMISSAL

The disagreement OF the third jury
impaneled to try George Brown on a
charge of robbery caused Assistant Dis
trict Attorney James Hanley to move
for dismissal of the case yesterday-
In Judge Cooks court. Hanley took
occasion 70 censure the jury for what
he termed a failure of it's members TO
do their duty or live up to their oaths.
Brown was accused of having b-<d
up George A Cook. a Santa Fe raiIrStsd
fireman. on October 20 Of last year In
Kentucky street. The evidence against
the defendant was strong and he was
known to have had a criminal record.
He was tried twice and the jury dis
agreed IN each instance. The same re-
suit attended the third trial. which was
concluded yesterday.
Hanley's motion to dismiss was grant
ed by Judge Cook and Brown was re-
leased from custody.
