PLAN TO ESCAPE
Property Owners, Served With
Notice by Law and Order
League, to Sell.
GET RENT AS INTEREST"
Ingenious Plan to Place the Burden
of Defense Entirely Upon Those
Conducting Joints.

1t is understood that some owners
who have been served with notice by
the Law and Order league that they
must cease renting property to be used
for Illegal purposes, are casting about
for plan to evade the spirit Of the
law and yet escape prosecution.
In certain cases negotiations are said
to have been opened for the sale of
property occupied by dives and gam
bling establishments to those who are
conducting the places, the plan being
for the purchaser to agree to pay an
exorbitant sum, but to give no cash
down. He will give a mortgage and
agree to pay the interest" in amount
about the same as the rent now col
lected monthly in advance.
F'OreclOse ON Default
If he defaults, the mortgage will be
foreclosed and he will be ousted. In
this way, it is figured, the real owner
will be able to escape prosecution.
while the dive keepers and gamblers
will be left to band together and put
up defense" under the peculiar sys.

Died Suddenly

Only few days ago, Miss Helen
Prichard went to the Placerville sana-
forum for treatment for what was at
the time considered gastric trouble
of the stomach. Examination by the
physicians, however, led them to be-
lieve that the real cause of trouble
Was an affected appendix, and the
patient was so informed. She did not
think her affection was of sufficient
Importance to warrant ar operation,
and declined to submit to that ordeal.
She improved, and was apparently
getting we'll, when Monday she was
taken suddenly worse and at an early
hour Tuesday both Drs. Rantz and
Rockers were hurriedly called. But it
was too late to afford her relief, and
the young lady passed away at about
5 AS O'clock
Her death was due to breaking of
the appendix and consequently poison
ing of the entire system. An opera
ton even at the time she went to the
sanatorium might not have proven
successful in saving her life.
The deceased was one of the most
upright and popular young women of
this community, and her death will be
universally regretted. She was serv-
ing in the capacity Of bookkeeper for
the Ell Dorado Water and Deep Gravel
Mining Company, which position she
had held for some years past. She
was a native of Suffer Creek, ANA
dor county. 80 years, months, and
6 days old. Her father, Elias Prlch-
ard, is dead, but she leaves mother
two sisters and one brother, also an
uncle, four aunts and grandmother
living in this county, Sacramento and
San Francisco. Nugget.

life. and are never alike in two per-
sons. the diversity being almost in
credible. Even if the veins on two
right hands should seem to be very
similar, the patterns on the left
hands of the same persons will show
great divergence. Six classes Of vein
patterns are recognized and show a
surprising range from a single layer
vein having two or three short
branches to groups of figures Of great
completely. If necessary, Che veins
can be marked with dark pigment SO
as to show very conspicuously in
photographs. The records of the
rogues gallery formerly consisted Of
front and profile photographs of
criminals, but Bertillon gave greater
accuracy by adding a system Of
measurement of head, forearm,
fingers, etc., and Cation afterward
introduced the plan Of preserving
finger-prints, which show skin cor
rugations never alike in any two per-
sons. Until recently the peculiarities
OF the vein patterns were overlooked.
The improved hydroplane of Sir
John Thornyeroft, English naval ar
chitect, overcomes the difficulties Of
the original by retaining the shape of
an ordinary boat so nearly as to pass
through the water in a similar manner
at ordinary speeds The shape Of the
bottom is sufficiently changed to cause
the vessel to skim the water at high
speeds, the weight then resting on
small portion Of the length amidships.
The boat is rs feet long, 6 feet beam
and 219 feet deep, and has exceeded
81 knots under poor conditions. From
torpedo boat experience, it is esti
mated that a hydroplane of So feet,
with displacement of 10 tons and $50
horsepower motor, should have a
speed OF As knots, while SO knots
should be attained with a boat 10 feet
long.
Animal life, existing under a pres
sure of So tons to the square inch,
has been found in the Tonga basin
near New Zealand, at Il depth of 434
miles. The greatest ocean depth
known is less than mile deeper.

THE MAINE ELECTION,

The political outlook, judging from the result of the
election in Maine last Tuesday anything but encouraging
from republican point The democrats elected Pa1sted
governor of four congressman and claim the legs
Joint ballot which will give them United States

Gratis scored such in that state The republicans
while expecting reduction the party vote surprised
at the maentude of the democratic victory Opinions differ
as 10 the cause of this heretofore reliable republican state
breaking loose from it's oldtime political mornings The
situation similar that which preceded the election OF
Cleveland in 1884 The long period Of uninterrupted
dancv of any party gives birth in the minds of to
desire for change The fact that the country has enjoyed
prosperity during this period strong enough to
come this yearnng for change particularly when famed
partisan appeals that change Of administration will bring
better times The Actiona strife within the republican ranks
lars has probably dampened the party spirit than all
the efforts of democracy combined When one wing OF po-
tica party takes issue with the controlling faction
vital question of policy like the tariff for instance the effect
cannot be otherwise than bewderng and harmful In face
of this warning from Maine it behooves republicans
to stop their chickering's and work harmonously to the
November elections The paramount question is, not
whether nsurgent regulars shall control the republican
party whether republicans democrats shall control
the next congress The drift of the elections far adverse
to the party control There feeling abroad that
change party ority congress would make little
difference the ong anyway, and would not dis
turb industrial conditions. That the kind of talk they
gave us in the Cleveland campaigns. Bnt it is matter of
history that it did make big difference And the expert
ment is repeated, it will work still greater mischief than it
did twenty years ago.

Pioneer At Celebration

Charles Peters. the 86yearold
pioneer, returned from San Francisco
on Saturday last. He went to the city
to take part in the big celebration of
Admission day, but came back con-
siderably disappointed. He took no
part in the procession. To get in line
with the marching column was out of
the question for man of his years,
as it required being on his feet for
seven hours continuously, and al
though rugged and tough for his age
he was not equal to this strain. The
truth is he got down to the city too
late. He reached San Francisco
Wednesday evening, unaccompanied by
any one, and without any previous
notification to the committee in
charge. By that time, of course, all
arrangements for the procession had
been made, and no change in the de-
tails could be tolerated. In this way
the old '49er from Amador county was
left out, not out of discourtesy to
him, but as an inevitable sequence OF
being too late for the fair. He was
shown every consideration under the
circumstances, room being secured
for him at the hotel, and his every
want provided tor. 1t was really un
safe for him to get into the crowded
streets. his hearing and sight being
somewhat feeble. 1t is said that one
of the first breaks he made on reach
ing San Francisco was to attempt Z
walk through a mirror, under the i'm
preston that the image reflected there
in was the actual roadway.
