The Supreme Court, in an opinion ren- | &ered yesterday, sustained the conten- | tions of the Anglo-California Bank in a | creditors’ dispute relative to the failure | of Levin Brothers. The bank had a | mortgage on the home of one of the part- ners, but did not want the amount it re- covered on the property to be deducted from the debt owed it by the insolvent firm. The firm, which was composed of Isa- dore, Julius and David Levin, falled on January 7. 1897. The ' Anglo-California Bank, which was one of the principal creditors, also held a mortgage on Isa- dore Levin's homestead for $6000. The Su- perfor Court decreed that the bank should deduct the value of the homestead from the general debt and get its pro rata dividends on the residue. This deci- sion was not acceptable to the bank peo- ple and they appealed to the Supreme Court. The judgment of the lower tribunal is reversed and a new trial is ordered. The court stogd four to three for reversal. . e ———————— The elephant has a trunk. Have you? 1f not, buy one from Leibold Harness Co., 211 Larkin st. Ten per cent off for next two weeks.

A0 Heathen Say They Provide Spending Money for World Beyond. i e The recent death of little Lum Yue, a heathen lad, residing in a basement at 818 Dupont street, reveals the fact that a Chinese cemetery is a repository for wealth as well as bones. The curlous cus- tom of stuffing coins down the throats of corpses was told as an explanation for the presence of a 10 cent piece in the throat of the youngster. It was said that | the dead as well as the living require a little circulating medium and the uncer- tainty of opulence in the other world gives rise to the necessity of a little friendly remembrance before the devil is barred at the gates of the boneyard. The amount of the contribution to the | | departed varies. In the case of little Lum Yue it was hardly more ‘than sufficient to purchase him one good-sized drink or pay a single car fare along the celestial paths. Unless he hunted up a friend soon after his arrival, from which to make a dun or pawn his golden crown, he might have been worse off than when he scampered about Portsmouth Square or had his little pigtail yanked by the North Beach gamins. But the Chinese say the donation goes according to the age and more often in proportion to the financial status of the deceased, and that eagles and double eagles are crammed down the throats by thoughtful friends, that no want or privation may prevent a full en- | joyment of happiness in the land of the immortal. Little Lum Yue died soon after day- break yesterday morning. He was the son of a well-to-do Chinaman and every- thing possible was done to save his life during a week of his illness. Drs. Wor- lQi. Buckley and Me were called, and, with several Chinese physicians, gave the patient every assistance, but to no avail. In due form the body was taken to the Federal Morgue on Merchant street and an autopsy commenced. The cause of death, as given by the attending physi- \clans, ‘was pneumonia, but the autopsy surgeons were nonplused when they found the dime in the throat of the sub- Ject. A discussion as to the cause of death then ensued. One of the Federal physi- clans said it was strangulation and two more contended it was pneumonia. The revelation of the custom which makes the subject matter of this story was then made and the body passed over to Coroner Leland, with a request that the autopsy surgeon make an investigation and settle the matter. —————— LOS ANGELES, June 19.—First Lieutenant Herbert C.

The act must in that respect be deemed an act ‘regulating the practice of courts of jus- tice.’ It is in terms applicable to one class of cases in equity, or rather to one sub-division of a class; that is to say, to those actions for divorce in which the court finds that one of the parties is en- titled to a divorce. There would seem to be no sufficient or tenable grounds upon which a classification of actions can®be made, as is here attempted. Therefore the provision of the act under consideration must be regarded as a special law regu- lating the practice of courts of justice, and as such is inhibited by section 25, ar- ticle 4 of the constitution.” SEAWELL INDORSES RHODES. The above is an extract from an opinion rendered a few days ago by 'Superior Judge A. L. Rhodesgof San Jose and con- curred in by Superior Judge Leib. It de- clares the divorce law passed by the last Legislature, which provides that a decree of divorce shall not become final until one year after it is granted, unconstitutional. The opinion was indorsed yesterday in the local courts by Superior Judge Sea- well, who held, as did Judges Rhodes and Leib, that the law is unconstitutional be- cause it must be regarded as a special law regulating the practice of courts. Seawell rendered his decision indorsing the opinion of the Santa Clara County Judges after hearing the divorce suit of Mary E. Anthony against Charles E. An- thony. The testimony showed that An- thony was a cruel husband, and the court promptly awarded her a decree to take effect at once. The decree was made final on motion of Samuel M. Shortridge, Mrs. Anthony’s counsel, who held that the in- terlocutory judgment would affect Mrs. Anthony's claims to the furniture in the Seattle lodging-house, at 106! Third street, which she has been conducting for some time past. At the conclusion of the proceedings Judge Seawell called attention to that part of Judge Rhodes’ opinion which re- ferred to the title of the act. “The title of the act is defective,” saild Seawell “Here is an extract from Judge Rhodes’ opinion which expresses my views.” The extract follows: # TITLE IS DEFECTIVE. The title of the act is: ‘“‘An act to amend the Civil Code by adding two new sections ne act provides for the filing of findings; the en- try of two sorts of judgments; the taking of appeals; grants power to the court to enter a judgment dissolving a marriage after it has been dissolved by the death of one of the spouses; and it contains other provisions that need not be here repeated, but it is apparent that all the provisions of the act, except one relating to criminal procedure apd one per- mitting either of the divorced pdrties to re- marry, relate to procedure in ‘civil actlon. The. subjects of this.act, within the meaning of that term as employed in section 24, article 4 of the constitution, are amendments of the Code of Civil Procedure, but there is not one word in the title of the act expressing or even hinting_at that subject. The title of an act purporting to amend the Civil Code does not even suggest an amendment of the Code of Civil Procedure. The section of the consti- tution just mentioned makes the subjects em- brace In an act, which are not expressed in its title, void for every purpose. —_———— Former Inspector Gets Rehearing. The Civil Service Commission began the rehearing of thg charges filed by S. Aftergut against arket Inspector J. L. River, who was dismissed from his po- sition as a result of the first trial. The principal witness was J. O'Leary, upon whose testimony River was found guflty of dereliction of duty. The hearing will be resumed next Monday afternoon. —_————— B_J‘.mll. dentist; Haight & Masonic av.* Held for Smuggling. Tomas Pinzon, watchman on the steam- ship Acapulco, was hela for trial yester- day by United States Court Commissioner Heacock an a charge of smuggling 500 Mexican cigars. The testimony showed that Pinzon gave a box to each of five passengers, with the request that they should take the cigars ashore for him as their own property. The cigars were taken ashore openly without any attempt at conceaiment. The passengers, who had been in jail for two nights, were released on their own recognizance. The hearing was set for Wednesday at 10:30 a. m. ——— The memory, it has been decided, is stronger in summer than in winter. ADVERTISEMENTS.

The collar comes close together in front, it keeps the tie in place and you don’t see the cut-out part. Besides the tie is retained just over the button, which is also kept out of sight.
