When this conversation was brought to | the attention of the attorneys for the vad Commission, they were simply | lumfounded. After they had recovered rewhat of their normal condition, one ‘ of them expressed himself as follows: e is only one way to explain this iar attitude of the Southern Pacific Company. It is endeavoring to create a ¢ sentiment gainst the course of | \mission in order to prevent an in- | 000 ann. ould the comm pection of its books and the thoroush in- sation of its affairs so far as they re- its business and career in this { to For years—in fact, ever since the com- ssion was created by the new constitu- | tion—it has beid a club over the officers of that body in the threat to wipe the com- mission out of existence on the ground of | its alleged unconstitutionality. There is | tle doubt but that the fear of this weapon has the past partly tended to make previ commissions amenabie to | the ‘arguments of the corporation. The | existing body was not in any degree in- | spired by a dread of this sword of | Damocles, but simply went ahead and did | what it considered to be its duty. ’ “Having been unable to stay or dimin- jsh its aggressiveness up to the present time, the Southern Pacific Company is | now seeking to discredit it with the pub- While I am not authorized to sprak for the Commissioners, either as individu- alsor as a body, I feel justified in saying that they will not for a moment consider position for a compromise, which I | jer this to be. 1t is truathat the | edings appear to be expensive, but n the principle that is involved is con ered the cost is but trifling. | That the commission does not propose | to lose any of the fruits of its recent vic- tory in being deciared a constitutional body is shown by the bill introduced in | sembly by Belshaw of Contra Costa | e other day.

Nothing in this act shall be con- strued as recognizing the lawfulness of the combination of roads controlied by the said Southern Pacific Company or the existence of said company as a railroad corporation or its right to control or operate any of the railroads constituting said combination. by app: “The expert, or experts, who will be engaged will be men who can be relied upon to do their work thoroughly ena satisfactorily. They will be competent and beyond danger of being tampered with, “I am of the impression that, if the Southern Pacific Company is disposed to dismiss the proceedings on a compromise basiy 1t may ultimately determine to dis- miss it without any concessions being ade. suppose, would then go right on reducing rates wherever it deemea such action just | | Resolved, and proper.” In the concluding portion of the $30,000 appropriativn bill above referred to is a significant stipulation that *nothing in this act sball be construed as recognizing the lawfulness of the combination of roads controlled by the said Southern Pacific Company.” This is looked upon as a vir- tual announcement by the Attorney- General that the validity of the leases of California roads heid by the Southern Pa- cific Company is to be attacked in some separate proceeding BOKDS OF FRATERNITY.

City Hall to-night an open-air meeting was held to express public approval of the defeat of the funding bill. There were fully athousand people present, although the nizht was bitterly cold. W. R. Davis, the counsel for the city in the recent water-front litigation, told of the vast amount of labor that had been performed by the city’s representatives in getting the cases into the Supreme Coart, and prophesied that there would soon be 2 decision rendered that would restore the water front to the city. He spoke very forcibly of the defeat of the funaing bill and congratulated the audience that it had been attained. Assessor Dalton made a speech and re- ferred to the trouble he had experienced in his office with the railroad companv and how it is necessary for the pubiic to be ever on tue alert, or they wouid cer- tainly be caugnt in new traps which the railroad was iorever devising.

Mr. Lang, in the Illustrated London News, gives an anecdote of Dean Stanley’s amiable simplicity. The Dean was dinine out, and was very late. When he came his collar was unfastened, and the ends vibrated like little white wings about the bead of a cherub. People could not but look at hin: with curiosity during dinner, | and at length, with due precautions, his hostess ventured to ask him if he knew that his collar bad broken adrift, “Ob. yes!” said the Dean; “do you mina?’’ “Notat all,” said the lady. “Then I don’t mind either,” answered the Dean; “the button dropped off while I was dressing,” and he continued his conversation. It was not, says Mr. Lang, “absence of mind,” but unrivaled pres- { mind, that Stanley displayed on occasion. Any other human being would have been at the point of changing his shirt. — e—— A Dog at Prayers. The late Archbishop of Canterbury had a favorite collie, **Watch,” which always followed his footsteps in the park and about the ho When service went on in the chapel **Watch’’ strecched himself in summer time on the mat at the open door. It issaid that on one occasion the Archbishop himself read the second les- son, which concluded with the words, “What Isay unto you I say unto ali, waten,” and the dog immediately started up and walked to his master, as if he had been called, and lay at his feet until the conclusion of the service. NEW DANGERS FOR DIVORCED PEOPLE Judga Belcher's Latest De- cision May Cause Trouble. . Decree of Legal Separation May Be Set Aside at Any Time by the Court. Mrs. Josephine Dastagus Surprised to Learn That She Is Still in the Bonds of Wedlock. "Mrs, Josephine Dastague is not yet di- vorced from Romain vastague, althongh for several weeks she thought herself free from the galling bonds of wedlock. Dastague failed to answer his wife’s com- plaint in the time allowed by law and Juage Sanderson, who was then on the bench, ordered his default to be entered as is usual in such cases. Subsequently a decree of divorce was granted, the judg- ment entered and the judgment roll was made up. When Dastague heard a decree had been entered against him with the attendant danger of alimony, he employed Attorney Rossi to represent him, and that gentle- man convinced Judge Sanderson that the deféndant ought to have a hearing, 80 an’ order was made setting aside the decree of divorce. Judge Belcher, who succeeded Judge Sanderson, afterward set aside the default and put the case on the calendar to be heard on its merits. Attorney Ruef objected to this proceed- ing. He sald tbat his client, Mrs. Dastague, had been grauted a divorce in the regular way, and that the court had no right or power to set aside the judg- ment unless a showing is made in writing that there was inadvertence; surprise or excusable neglect on the part of the de- fendant, or unless & motion for a new trial has been properiy made, with notice served on the opposite party. In this case, he said, the judgment and default had been set aside without notice to him or his client, and he thought the court had exceeded its jurisdiction. “The court is not with you in regard to hat matter,” replied Judge Belcher. ‘Section 473 of the Code of Civil Procedure eems to govern in a case like tuis. Itisa proceeding to_determine the status of versons. A divorce suit is quasi a pro- ceeding in rem, and the court has juris- diction to set aside this judgment of its own motion or on the showing of either party.” Mrs. Dastague will therefore be com- pelled-to zo into_court with her witnesses again, and her husband will be there to tell his side of the story in regard to their domestic infelicities unless Judge Bel- cher's decision 1s overruled by the Su- preme Court. : Mr. Ruef entered an exception prepara- tory to taking an appeal to the Supreme Court. He suggested that if ihis rule should apply to all divorce cases of this character it would render such litigation exceedingly uncertain and extremely per- plexing. It the lady so divorced should at once remarry it would complicate family mat- ters to a distressing degree to have the old decree set aside in the midst ot the second honeymoon, for instance, and to call on the newly made wife of the second mar- riage to appear again in court in litigation thats e had considercd finally settled and disposed of forever. While it might not morally involve her in the charge of big- amy it would technically place her in the position of having two husbands, and she would have no lawful right to live with the second until the marital bonus hold- ing her to_the first bad been judicially sevared. Worse than that, she would have to face to possivility of deieat in her sec- ond tr al for divorce, and this might mean an interruption if not a termination of her new-found happines Foilowing out Judge Beicher’s decision to its legitimat- conciusion it would seem tobea risky thing to marry a divorced person while bis or her spouse is living, for if the decrec may Le set aside at any time after the divorce there is no telling when the cld litigation may come up to vex the new-made family. This is illus- trated in the ease of Mrs. Phillips, who was divorced from ber husband several years ago on her own application, and actually married another man, but learn- ing 1as{ month that her first busband had accumula ed a for:une of $3,000,000 in the gold fields of South Africa and had re- turned to Minnesots, she went into court again and asked Judge Seawell, who is known as one of the ablest and most care- ful Judges on the bench, to set aside her decree of d vorce and to dismiss the enlire litigation, showing that judgment had rot been finally entered and defendant had not answered. That motion was granted by Judge Sea- well, but final action in this regard has been stayed since on the application of Mrs. Phillips’ first husband. Tho Message Sufiicient. The traveling. man who put up for the night at the leading hotel in & small town left very particular instructions before re- tinng to be called in time for an early train. E Early in the morning the guest was dis- turbed by a lively tattoo upon the door. “Well?” he demanded, sleepily. {I’ve got an. important mesage for y3,” replied the bellboy. ‘The guest was up in an instant, opened the door and received from the boy a large envelove. He tore it open bastily, and inside found a slip of paper on which was written in large letters, “Why don’t you get up?’ He got up.—Golden Days. SROTHERS FIEHT ) HOT BATTLE Hugo Ehrenpfert Had a Club, but Did Not Use It. An Exciting Scene on Front Street on Saturday After- noon Last. A desperate battle between two brothers, both well known, which for a time threat- ened to end in a tragedy, occurred on Front street, between California and Pine, on Saturday afternoon, and is still the talk of the block. George F. Eurenpfort, one of the brothers, is a member of the firm of Roths- child & Ebrenpfort, the candy manufac- turers, at 118 Front street, and the other, Hugo Ehrenpfort, is proprietor of the Paragon saloon, which is situated just across the street. A difference which neither of them will fully explain has existed between the two for some time past. On Saturday afternoon Hugo crossed the street to his brother’s place of business, and began an altercation which lasted for am hour. He talked loudly of doing his brother bodily injury, and in the end made a demonstration that resulted in his brother knocking him down and out, and later hustling bim into the street. When he was able the saloon man went back to his piace of business vowing vengeance, and their neighbors in busi- ness anticipate that the end is not yet The candy man’s version of the affair would seem to indicate that the battle came to a dangerous point at one time. “My brother came into my place,” he said, “‘with the evidences of liquor on him and began to abuse me. He carried a club, and told me tnat he had a pistol in his pocket ready for use. +I stooa his talk for a while and then told him to et out. Then he tried to zet me by the throat, and I lost my patience and knocked him out. When be got up he was put on the street and told to go home and behave himself. As a matter of fact Hugo is not inclined to take care of what he makes, while I am, and I suppose he feels aggrieved that I am in prosperous circumstances.” Mr. Ehrenpfort exhibited a lacerated band as a resuit of theencounter, with the observation that he might have fared much worse had his brother been given a chance to use the club. Hugo Enrenpfort was attending to busi- ness as usual yesterday afiernoon, but wore a maffler about his neck, which con- cealed any marks that his brother's fists might have made. He was not inclined to tulk of the fight, but admitted that a fracas in which he had taken a prominent part had taken place in his brother’s store anyl that he bad had slightly the worst of the argument. at Most Exiraordinarily Low Prices.
