To hear him one would have believed he inténded to vote aye twice, but when it came to u showdown he would not vote at all. The controversy over the bills on Fri- day has added one more to the leglslative bon mots that deserve being made of rec- ord. Schlesinger was arguing for de- lay, and he appealed to the courtesy of Johnson, who was center rush in the line behind the bills, declaring that he had ai- ways been courteous to Johnson and John- gon should reciprocate. Courtesy in any- thing connected with :he Governor seeme1 :&‘) lx:pm' Johnson's wit to unwonted ac- “Eor anything I have received in the past from Mr. Schlesinger,” he replied, “I am duly gratetul. ror everythiug 1 am .to receive in the future, may God give me strength to bear.” The most peculiar thing In connection with the whole plague controversy was the presence of the arch bacillus of them all, Dr. J. J. Kinyoun, in Sacramento dur- ing the ‘thick of the fight, and registered at the Capital undér an ‘assumed name. How the doctor expected to.make his way through Sacramento without being recog- nized s au_interesting query, and why such a small artifice should suggest it- self to a man with nerve enough to quar- antine the State of California. is a prob- lem in human nature. He was recognized as he stepped out of the bus from the train, in front of the Capital Hotel, had not been ten minutes in town. He is on the hotel register as “J. Keenan.” He gaid he came up on personal busimess, and he registered as Keenan because he thought it would “look bad” if it wers known he was in town during the consid- eration of the plague bills; but it could hardly have looked worse than it did. The Paris Commission injuiry probably will sputter out like a wet candle this week. There have been many things de- scribed and charged, which, could they be proved, might make a few sensations, but none of them have so far.been proved It has been a case of judgment eIl theough. Witnesses have sworn that the $130,000 was squandered in riotous revelry and a cheap exhibit, while others have declared that the hospitality of the head- quarters, which no one denies, was lav- ish and unending, was just what touched the hearts of the neople in Paris, and, via the heart, probably will reach the pufse. Foote has been described one day as scat- tering the State’s dollars to the. four winds, and on another day he has been held up as the best exhibit the State had in Paris, and worth ten times the money. Moore's relation of Foote's desperate ef- forts.to explain, in pidgin French and much gesticulation, the wonders of Cali- fornia to a circle of dazed and befuddl=d Frenchmen, has made of Foote a martyr rather than-a spendthrift; a savior of the He | X mine, but if the people of Parls were led to believe that all California was like the Paris _headquarters, it is probable the French colony out here will receive new members. It was some time, at least a day, be- fore the.committee got its calcium to work properly. The members were not good on cross-examination and they let a great deal slip that they might have nailed, and they went on false trails without number and with the cheerful energy of a hound after an anise seed bag. ,The scent was hot enough but there were no.results. Stewart was particularly good at this sport. Melick has been the greatest' sufferer, | for, being a newspaper man, he eannot help asking questions, and his questions go more toward the news than the evi- dence, He was roasted by Foote the first day, and unnecessarily so, for the com mittee tempted baiting by ‘meekly sitting by and waiting for it to come. There has never been a man at the bar who has so iiked to badger and bully and rattle a witness as Foote, and to be the “badgee” was something new to him. When he found the committee would take no more of it he wisely stayed away. The committee to investigate the San Francisco Police Department is causin, but little comment up here, as its wor! must necessarily be done in the city: it is considered a good committee and one that will bring in a report in accordance with what facts it finds. Sacramento will make a determined fight next week before the Apportionment Committee to retain * the ~Assemblymai she is in such danger of losing. It has made the Sacramento delegation “‘gritty,” and as a consequence a little discipline has been i order. Devlin's opposition. to a measure In the Senate is a material aid to its passage, and his amendments to bills are voted down with a regulari‘y and good nature that is exasperating. He is well liked and a bright lawyer, but ho seems not to be on the inside. Melick is getting the same kind of discipline in the Assembly. He cannot leave his seat but the Speaker's gavel rdps sharply and thc ‘“‘Assemhlymen out of their seats are or dered to their places.”” Melick objected once to being so pointedly ordered home when other and more favored Assembly- men were allowed to forage for votes, but it only brought on “words” between him and the Speaker after the session, and the trouble was aggravated. The bill transferring the $48,500 from the Governor's mansion fund to the funds of the State University has been withdrawn after a fight by the Sacramento delega- tlon. Sacramento has more need for the mansion _than for the State University. With a $50,00 mansion as well as a Capi- tol, it will be doubly hard to meve the seat of State government from the ecity by the muddy river. ‘Assemblyman W. F.

There was much rejoicing at the Hamil- | ton-square Baptist Church, Post and| | Steiner streets, yesterday morning when, fter a special service, the pastor, the ev. W. C. Jenkins, burned the mortgage and declared the church free from debt. The ehurch bore special degorations for | the occasion, and was thronged to the{ | doors with its regular congregation andi right of a litigant’to obtain the' transfer of his case from the court of ore‘whom hé considers to be a biased Judge will again come up in an amendment which | theé Code Revision Committees have added to the Code of Civil Precedure. The re- port will contain a recommendation in fayor of making it compulsory for a Judge { upon the mere filing by the litigant of an affidavit alleging bias to call in some oth-' er judge to try the cise. ; The same point was involved in an at- tempt made four years ago to have a bill roviding such precedure &mssed by the glslature. 1 was then directed at the removal of the famous mining suit known as the Hale & Norcross case from the jurisdiction of Judge Hebbard of the Su- perior Court of San Francisco, to whom the case had been assigned. Under the procedure then, and now. when a litigant alleges bias upon the part of the Judge trying his case he.must file with that same Judge affidavits tq prove bias, and that Judge is the .one who passes upon the dffdavits. It was alle four years ago that this was, In effect, a-Judge leg- MTAtlng upon himself, and that the situa- tion ‘was illogical and ebsurd. It was urged that when a litigant believed his Judge was plased, to file an affidavit to that effect and haVe it fall of achieving a transfer would be to make matters worse than they were, and therefore the only sympathetic listeners. | ([ The musical service was in charge of Miss Mayme Allen, who presided at the Miss Perkins rendered a_ soprano | zole. and Mrs. Featherstone read the re. port of the women's soTietics.
