For in addition to strings of eléctric lamps like beads of brilliants on each side, Market street wants to have a row-of colored arc lights along the center.

Supervisors of Solano County May Close the Season for Duck Shooting. As stated in Saturday’s CaLi, Judge Buckles of Solano County issued injunc- tions last Wednesday, at the reguest of the president of the Cordelia Gun Club, to prevent hunters from trespassing on the Cordelia Teal Club preserve, which is in the Suisun marshes in the vicinity of Teal station. On Saturday and Sunday deputy con- stables of Solano county awaited the arrival of the duck-shooters from this city and Vallejo and served them with official papers as they embarked irom the eastbound trains that stopped at Teal station and the drawbridge. Some of the hunters who were served refrained from shooting, but a majority of them paid little attention to the notices and shot over the ponds which were specially reserved for members of the Teal and Cordelia gun clubs. On Saturday mght a little “shanty” which was erected by the Teal Club at the mouth of the Frank Horan Siough took fire and burned to the ground. This is the second time that the keeper’s hut went up in smoke. Last year the ‘station- house” on the marsh was destroyed by fire and the Teal Club offered a reward of $500 for information that would lead to the arrest and conviction of the persons who applied the torch. In last Saturday night’s conflagration several rounds of caftridgés exploded and the reports aroused those on board the Mallard Club and Crystal Palace arks, which are anchored in Cordelia Slough and within close proximity of the keeper's CLARENCE EDDY, the Great Organist, Who Narrowly Escaped the Wreck. he said gun of the trip had been rough.

Palmer Cox was also & member of the National Guard of California, when in that elder day to be a guardsman was greater than to be a king. When Cox carried a musket in the ranks of C Company, First Infantry, Colonel W. H. L. Barnes rode at the head of the regiment, and Georze W. Granniss was lieutenant-colonel. The precious jewel in Palmer Cox’s lit- erary crown is his record as a contributor to the Golden Era. Among his brother writers were Bret Harte and Charles War- ren Stoddard. Joe Lawrence, editor of the Era, encouraged his young contributor Stoddard to abandon verse and adopt prose. As an incentive for this change he offered the tempting compensation ofa dollar a column. Mr. Cox’s contributions required iliustration and so many difficul- ties were encountered. In 1875 Palmer Cox went to New York. There he buckled down to a life of study and work. The great artists occupied the field, and there seemed to be no way of getting ahead on the old lines. Newideas were demanded. Cox went to Central Park and studied the animals. He sketched them as beings attired in human habilaments, and, writing his story around the sketch, made the animals talk of their lot in life, and such pathetic talk it was that the boys and girls who 1ead St. Nicholas had much sympathy for the fox and bear. Publishers demanded the stories and sketches, but still Mr. Cox had higher ideals, and finally it struck his fancy to sketch the ‘Brownies.” His memory held a shadowy impression of fireside legends concerning fairies of Scotland who were invisible to mortal eyes. These elves' were all of the male persuasion, so the tradition said, and according to per- sons gifted with second sight, the only human beings who could see them, the “Brownies,” "were jolly, laughing littie fellows, who lived in the night, ke some of the. boys of this modern epoch, and sought seciusion at tne first slant of sun- beams. The “brownie” sketches and stories scored an instant su:cess. The publish- ers were besieged by inquiring subscribers who wanted to know more than the con- tributor knew about the literature of the tradition, and Cox himself had to delve and dig in ancient lore to keep up with the pace of his own setting. He proved that the “Brownies” lived in the lore of 1 Rose Bal. 4 Champagne Glasses. 1 Bread and Milk Set. 2 Fancy Fruiu Plates. 1 Plicher, decorated. b Berry Dishes. 1Celery Tray- 3 Dinner Plates. 3 Oyster Bowls. 5 Frult Saucers. 3Soup Plates, decorated. b Sait or Pepper Shakers. 1 Vegetable Dish, decorated.

Mr. Ames cited many interesting instances of how he had succeeded in de- tecting the forgeries of many documents i cases where he had rendered the serv- ices of an expert in handwriting, as well as explaining the reasons for the utter im- possibility of the handwriting of any per- son to be duplicated by another. —_—— Policeman Mahouney Dead.
