The case was appealed 1o the Supreme Court, several tech- nicalities being raised as to the lower court’s instructions to the jury. The Supreme Court removed all of these and affirmed the order of ihe lower court, holding that the only matter jor consideration was whether the men was guiliy or not.

Since then physicians have been in constant attendance and his friends fear that he will not recover. Staples was born in Medway, May. 3, 1829. The genealogy of the Stapies family 13 authentically traced back to year 1637. J. Staples is a lineal descendant of Abrabam Staples, one of the original owners and settlers of the town of Mendon, Mass., and who served with distinction in King Philip’s war. In the spring of 1849 he started for Cali- fornia, but be ore leaving for the West he married Miss Mary . Pratt Winslow, daughter of Eleazar R. Winslow of New- ton Upgper Falls, Mass. The Winslow family dates its origin in this country back to the landing of the Mayflower in 1620. Mr. Staples came to California across the plains with a company of twenty-tive men from Boston and vicinity, and ar- rived in Sacramento September 27, 1849, In the spring of 1850 he engaged in the business of freighting on mule back to the southern mines from Stockton, and made considerable money. He purchased a Spanish grant on the Mokelumne river and established 2 ferry and engaged in many olher enterprises pertaining to pioneer life. The only office Mr. Staples ever held under the United States Government was that of Postmaster at Staples Ranch from 851 until he resigned in 1860. He was the first Justice of the Peace in iott town- ship, San Joaquin County, and was first president and director of the State Agri- cultural Society in 1858. In 1860 he was a delegate to the Chica 1on which nominated Abraham Lineoln for his first term. He was appointed Purt Warden by Governor Stanford and held that office during the latier's administration, and was then reappointed by Governor Los. In 1866 Mr. Staples was elected vice- president of ike Fireman’s Fund Insur- ance Company of San Francisco, and the following year he was elected president, which office he has nheld ever since. During the years 1573 to 1875 he was acting president of the Society of Cali- fornia Pioneers. He was president of the Board of Fire Underwriters for several years. During 1861, while in Washington, D. C., the war of tie rebellion was breaking out, he joined a battalion of soldiers’and served for a time. He returned to Cali- fornia and joined the Sumner Light Guard and remained with it until the war was over. Mr. Staples bas been justly termed the father of insurance on the Pacific Coast. Under his administration the Fireman's Fund has grown to be one of the most powerful, conservative and profitable ine surance companies in the world. Mrs. Staples died several years ago. Mass., Sued for Maintenance, Caroline Kusel commenced suit yesterday to compel her husband, Solomon A. Kusel, to maintain her. She alleges that Kusel, who, she says, 13 worth $60,000, deserted her with- out cause and has refused 1o contribute toward her support. Mrs. Kusel recently brought suit for divorce, and Judge Hesbard refused to grant her a decree after hearing the case. Kusel holds a contract, signed by him- self and wife when ihey married, providing that 11 it ever becwme necessary for them to separate neither of them would have any money claim against the otner, ' PR i Captain Chapman’s Funeral, The funeral of Captain J.

PRIZE-FIGHTERS ARE N CLOVER Hippodromes Will Be the Order of the Day in the Year of 1898, Promoters Who Are Figuring on Cleaning Up a Big Harvest, As a Sporting Town San Francisco | Is Sized Up as Being Very Jay. The erstwhile Tom O'Rourke has taken his departure for the East, but he will re- turn. The diplomatic manager of prize-fight- ers is very much infatuated with this city, because there are numberless sports bere | who always patronize fistic entertain- ments—it matters not what kind they are. O'Rourke is a very shrewd fellow and understands thoroughly what kind of a fistic dish is best suited to the tastes of the local fraternity of sport-lovers. Yes, Mr. O'Rourke will return to the Golden West by all means. He is a firm believer in the adage, “Make bay while the sun shines,”” and it can be safely said that artful Thomas will not leave a good thing slip through his | fingers if he can possibly help it, | Daring the racing sea on here there are thousands of “soft” dollars waiting to be invested on any game that isknown to sportdom. Next to horseracing prize-fighting is the sport that is most fancied by the fast set, and a contest between two first-class | serappers is certain to draw a big crowd of cash cusiomers. But the promoters of the game of fisti- cuffs are, seeminely, not satisfied with the easy money that i1s made from boxing enter ainments. They want more than “an honest” return from a fight on the “squire,” apd as a resuit joboing is re- sorted to as a means of assuring the plot- ters big return~ for the money invested. | Within the past year there have been a | number of so-calied fights held in this city that were, in the lexicon ot the sport, “fixed’” affairs. The promoters of the exhibitions were the jobbers, eund the people who paid good morney to see the pugs plug were the gul- libles, or, to use a common expression, “the suckers.” The poolsellers raked in large harvests of coin from some of the boxing enter- tainments, and so creat has been the crush at the gaming-houses on fizht nights that néw places for gambling were opened in the last few months, thus prov- ing beyond dispute that San Francisco, in some respects, is really a iay town. Mr. O'Rourke has sn idea that Green and Waicott would attract a swell crowd should the fighters meet again, notwith- standing the unmerciful drubbing that the colored welter gave Green recently. The Californian knows only too well | that he cannot even hurt his old oppo- rient, much s whip him. Whyis it then that he favors a return matc . ? Possibly be has an idea that Walcott | ) stch cramps and a sponge thrown | in ‘he air would proclaim him the winner. Cramps under some conditions are not very dangerous. Then the idea of a return match be- tween Lavigne and Walcott, to be fought telore a veriscope, is, 10 say the least, amusing. O’Rourke must assuredly have taken tbe mea ure of the sporting people of this | city. They will stand for anything, thinks the astute manager; and he is about right. Two thousand people who had money ! to burn paid an admission fee to see a | clumsy and unexciting slogging match | tetween Goddard and ghnrkey, and they looked sheepish as they left the Pavilion when Goadard was couited out by light- ning timers, who had purposely “‘jumped’” the second Now then according to the schednle ar- ranged Solly Smith and George Dixon wiil have apother brush as, according to O’'Rourke, Dixon was not feeling just well when he last foughtand the referee was not just what he should have been, etc. Smith said after the fight with Dixon that he would not meet the colored lad again, but he has chang>d his mind. La- vigne said that he would not fight Wal- cott again, but he changed his mind also. ‘What changeable minds those fighters | have! Strange! | Green wants a try at Tommy Ryan, a fighter who can whip Walcott, according to the opinions of the best criuc: on pugilism. Ryan stood before the clever “Kid” McCoy for fifteen rounds. He boxed “Kid"" Lavigne a six-round draw and he also met and outclassed Austra- lian Jim Hall, a heavy-weightin Chicago. According 1o latest intelligence from the East Owen Ziegler is cutting quite a | dash with the money “hewon’ in this city, the result of his fight with Green. | Possibly aiter the deathof the old year the sporting fraternity of this city will re- alize that the only way they can hope to | witness “square’’ fights at home is to stay | away from contests that smack of hippo- | drome, and thereby freeze the fake fight promoters out. THE CaLL will tip *the straight’’ fights.

C, and in ation on a charge of forgerv. Last Thursday the Sheriff received official notice that the man he wanted was in custody in Vie- toria. The Sheriff immediately sent a full description, pictures and a statement of the crrme commitied by Kasson to the authorities naving him in custody, and if, as thought, the prisoner proves to be the man wanted, measures for his extradition wiil immediately be made. Kasson is an inceresting criminal Shortly after his arrest in this city he was notified ty an Eastern lawyer that bis unc died and left him a fortune of $250,000. The prisoner wished to prove his indentity and put his case in such shape that there would be no difficulty in his coming into possession of the money when liberated, and he requested -Sheriff W helan to allow him to go to his room on Market street, accompanied by a deputy shenif, that he might get certain papeis to send to his lawyer in the East. The request was granted and Ike Rosenheim was selected to accompany the prisoner. Rosenhiem, however, was neglizent, and one evening he returned to the jail without his prisoner. A posse of deputies was put on the escape's trail, but he could not be located. After leaving this city it seems that he took the train for Portland, and arrived there without diffi- culty. He went to the home of the woman who reported his whereabouts to the Sheriff of this city, and remained there until be feared exposure, and then made for British territory. He had no sooner set foot in Victoria, however, than he was arrested on a charge of forgery, and he found himself *“out of the frying- pan into the fire.” Prior to his departure from Portland to Victoria he was introduced to several men by the woman who exposed his where- abouts, and afier her arrival in this city she received a letter from one thanking her for the introduction. The party who wrote the letter stated that he was very grateful to her who had b.en instrumental 1n his meeting Ka-son, as t gentleman had thoughtfully borrowei $250 from him, bu: had thoughtlessly failez to return it before his departure jor the foreizn land. It also stated that the escape had some $7000 in his possession which he was will- ing to pay for freedom, but whether ornot that amount would unlock the piison doors of two pations he was unable to say. |AN OPERA BY AMATEUES.

The Length of Life Largely Depends Upon the Answer. very man at 40 is either a fool or & phy- sician.” This old proverb was based on a notion that every man by the time he reachea middle life usually learns how to care for biso neaith. If we admit the truth of it, how- ever, we must concede thata very large pro- portion of the people we meet are not—well, not exactly physicians. Instead of taking care of their health, is it not true thatthe majority of people seem rather to be trying 10 destroy their health by irregular living or overwork ? Is itnot also a jact thatthou- sands of men are breaking down in the prime of life and becoming physical wrecks in con- sequence of their indiscretion ? All people who have ever made astudy of the subject declare that this is the case, and ye: there are to-day large numbers of hard- working business men and women with many cares who are always on the go and never at resithat enjoy the best of heatn.
