its ecis re' ersing the verdict of
the jury in the case of Fred Sciaroni
and w. +. Mitchell, convicted in this
county of dynamitIng the Angels

which the convection was made was
that OF an accomplice and the higher
courts holds that this was not snffi-
GENTLY oorroborated.. The opinion
was written by Justice Burnett and
restores the men to freedom. Sciaroni
has been at liberty on bail since COIL

A step has been taken that will
benefit the mines among the Mother
Lode. The San Francisco Stock Elk
change has under consideration the
listing of the stocks of the mines.
The effect of trading in these stocks
will be the more ready emil tment of
capital in these enterprises, andsit
! is expected that some of the golden
stream that is now flowing into

the profitable Southern mines section.

Don't starve Your BIRD.

1t is a common mistake to think that
pets can only be taught when hungry
and to commence birds training by
depriving it of breakfast, dinner or
supper is a most unhappy beginning.
In reality the feathered folk are just
as apt and full of fun after a comfort
able meal as before it, and to starve,
scold or otherwise i'll treat the little
creature will usually render it too I'M
happy to learn quickly If at all. Birds
are extremely nervous beings. They
love a low, quiet voice and gentle
movements-lovet to be talked to, coax
ed and made much of. If the pet is a
new one and seems specially eXcitable
or timid, you will have to teach it first
Of all not to fear you. Any little games
he is to learn must be acquired after

to only two similar observations and

TIE successful transplantation of

man sight through anotheI's eye,
must be reckoned among the greatest
marvels of surgery. The patient,

Medical Society of oVienna, had lost
the sight of both eyes through ulcers.
1t happened that the surgeon had to
take out the eye of an eleven-year-
boy, which had been ruined by a steel
splinter although the cornea was left
intact, and pieces from this eye were
inserted in slits cut in the Opaque
cornea of the mans eye. Almost
normal vision was restored to the
right eye, the experiment failing in

Senator Perkins has introduced a
bill providing for the appointment of

Northern district of California, and
has requested the attorney general
10 give the matter his Immediate
attention and advise the Judiciary

China Famine Relief Association,
Berkeley. a few days ago telegrap he'd
to senator lerkips, requesting that
a bill be introduced appropriatirg
81, GOO, 900 for the relief of sufferers
from famine in China. The senator
placed the matter before secretary
Root TOR the purpose of ascertainlng
how great was the need of China and
asking his opiuion as to the advis-
ability of an appropriation for relief
The secretary of State replied that be
is very desirous of having large
fund raised for th3 relief of sufferers
by tal- e, but that before any move
ment is made to secure government
participation it would be best to
ascertain whether China would accept
it, and whether the necessary resolu-
tlon would pass both Houses of Con
gress without question. His opinion
is that China would not accept gift
MADE officially by this government,
and if it would, that 1t would be
worse to have resolution fail tLan
to have nothing said about if. In
consequence there will he no immed-
late action on the part of congress.
President David Starr Jordon of

in accordance with the provisions OF
the bill introduced by the senator aud
objected to by senator Teller. As
| senator Teller was formerly secretary
of the Interior, president Jordan's
letter was referred to him. IN his
reply, made today, senator Teller said
that while it is apparent that there is
a necessity for such protection of
game, the State Of California has
ample power to secure such protection
| by the enactment and enforcement of
! its laws. As to the assertion that
state laws will not operate on and
within forest reservations within the
state, senator Teller stated emphati-
calIy that such was not the case.
endowed with jurisdiction ever every
acre of soil except where there was
positive exclusion of Jurisdiction.
Until the state cedes to the govern
ment its exclusive authority, as Ir
the case OF land for public buildings,
its laws must prevail. Acts of con
gress authorizing the president TO
withdraw public lands for forest
reserves can net authorize him to
withdraw them from State control
in all matters OF jurisdiction that
belong to the State by virtue of It's
admission as a state. Unless the
State Legislature cedes its jurisdiction
over public lands, the government is
in the simple position of a PROPRIETOR.

It is said that the name of Nome

He evidently intended to write the

Nome belongs to history and the great

charging a shilling for the job. Petty
thieves were branded for life with a

LOTTERY AGENTS
WILL BE ARRAIGNED

CHICAGO, Nov. 21.-(Special-
John F. Minor, an alleged partner in
the Old Reliable Guaranty Loan and
Trust company, believed to be the
biggest lottery enterprise unearthed
in recent years, and Miss Cora Green,
a secretary, will be given a hearing
tomorrow and will probably be held
for trial. H. H. Jones, the accredited
head of the institution, has been held
to the federal grand jury in bonds of
$4,000, which he deposited in cash.
The concern maintained an elaborate
printing establishment, where over
100000 tickets were printed every
month and sold through agents in va
rious parts of the country. Among
the alleged agents of the company
who have been arrested by secret SER
vice agents are Frank Fuller, Fort
Wayne, Ind George Geisler, st.
Louis; Charles and Royal Hamer, In
dianapolis, and j, T. MARYLAND, Nc
Keesport, Penn.
This is the first important lottery
prosecution since that last year
against the Honduras Lottery com
pany, whose printing and ticket dis
tributing Office in Mobile was raided
by secret service operatives and
which was forced out of business.

GOBBLER CROP is
REPORTED SMALL
Thanksgiving May be Shy
Usual Bird.

ST. LOUIS, MO, Nov. 21-(Spe-
ciaD-The reports received here from
dealers and buyers of poultry all
over the central West and Southwest
indicate that the turkey crop this
year will be exceptionally short, and
in consequence it is likely that
many dinners all over the land will
on next Thursday be minus the usual
bird. Local produce and poultry deal
ers declare that the scarcity will
force the price up to between 80 and
40 cents a pound before Thanksgiv-
ing day has dawned. This will make
a twenty-pound bird cost from Sc to
IS, price that will be prohibitive to
the heads of thousands of house
holds
The changing weather last spring
which caused a great increase in the
mortality rate among turkeys, is Civ
en- as the cause of this scarcity and
the consequent high price. Turkeys
are the tenderest of domestic fowls
and the hardest to raise
The late spring caught millions of
young turkeys in its icy blasts, and
for every degree that the thermom-
eter went down a corresponding raise
now appears in the price of Thanks
giving turkeys. Many farmers, too,
have quit raising turkeys, because of
the great care required in bringing
them to maturity, and this fact also
has bearing on the shortage in the
cTOD.

little more than three feet wide and

fear lest the girl fall from her mar

Afraid to Shout to Her

There are a number of small
round windows opening onto. the
ledge. They are almost too small
to allow of ones passing through
them, but had they been bigger the
crowd feared to shout instructions to
the girl on the ledge.
Mrs. Ralph Wolff, who lives on the
fourth floor, saw the crowds on the
street and ran down to see what was
the matter. When she saw the girl
she uttered a scream.
Its Elizabeth Coyden, my servant;
she must be crazy"
Fireman Quinn ran to the house
and up to the sixth flood, climbing
out through a window, pulling himself
on to a ledge
Hiding in a place where a window
was to have been built, he waited I'M
til the girl, who had walked around
the 142d Street side, came around the
corner of the building. Then he
grabbed her
The girl screamed and fought the
fireman, He grappled with her, and
they sWayed perilously over the edge
of the roof. At best Quinn seemed
only able to keep the girl and him
self from topping over. He was
apparently unable to lower her to a
window below or to force her through
one of the small round windows.

grabbed at them. At last one of the
men got a grip on Quinn's coat He
