In the destruc- tion of the criminal’s last chance of | escape from the gallows the court de- | clares that the law compelling a Judge to charge the jury to regard the testi- | mony of an accomplice with distrust is | unconstitutional. ‘Wardrip had a boy as his companion in the commission of the crime for which he must die. The youth was cap- | tured on the spot. Wardrip was taken several weeks later in Salt Lake City. When he was brought back to Sac- ramento for trial the boy testified against him. The attorneys for the | defense wished to have the court rule that the youngster’'s statements should be taken with a graln of salt. Thus | was the matter brought to the atten- | tion of the State's highest tribunal. In | settlement of the question the Supreme M,nurt says: | “In denying a rehearing in this case it is proper to addythat upon the ques- 1tinn as to the constitutionality of our lsialue providing that the jury is on all proper occasions to be instructed that the testimony of an accomplice ought to be viewed with distrust, and | the evidence of the oral admission of a party with caution, which question “as fully argued both in the briefs | herein and orally, we are of the opin- | fon_that so far as the statute requires | such an instruction ever to be given |1t is unconstitutional, for the reason | that such an instruction would be in | violation of the constitutional Injunc- | tion against Judges chargizg as to mat- ‘leY‘s of fact. ‘It has frequently been said by this caun that the giving of such an in- | struction will not be reversible error where by it the jury is instructed as | to commonplace matters within their general ‘knowledge, but we dre satis- fled that judgment should never be re- versed for the. refusal on the part of the court to instruct upon matters of fact.” g Prepared for the Crowds. All arrangements for the first great clearance sale at Baron's Cloak and Suit House are completed. An extra force of salesladies are engaged so that the large crowd can be waited upon. For three | @ays the store was closed to mark prices down, and marked down they are. 200 different styles of ladies’ $17.50 suits will go at $7.85. The $50.00 suits, $25.00.

An organization has just been perfect- ed known as the San Francisco Beer Bottlers' Association, its object being to protect its members in the matter of securing the return of empty bottles. Commencing this merning all patrons of beer bottlers in San Francisco will be required to pay a deposit on each and every bottle of beer delivered to them, said deposit being security for the safe return to beer bottlers of their patent stoppers ‘attached to their beer bottles, and sald patrons will further be required to return the empty bottles bearing the registered trade marks and trade names of the beer bottler. The organization is composed of all the beer bottlers in San Francisco, without exception, and in consequence - it will have sufficient strength to carry out its objects. It does not, however, intend to deal with any- gflng except the return of empty bot- es. ———————— Libel for Damages.

This will include thorough in- struction in the setting-up exercises, so that the men in uniform will look like soldiers, and not like an army of stoop-shouldered, round-backed men, whose appearance is not creditable on parade or at drill; also instruction in the manual of arms, and to this strict attention will have to be paid, as the men have been provided with Krag- Jorgensens, which must be handled with much more care Springfields. Not only will the men be instructed in the handling of the, to them, new arm, but they will be in- structed in the care of the same. Then there will be instruction in cadence of step, and it is expected that in time the men will be taught to walk at the regulation step and keep distance, so that in marching there will not be an interm'ssion of ten minutes after one organization has passed before the oth- er appears. This will be embraced in the preliminary work, to be followed bY complete instruction in squad, com- pany, regimental and brigade move- ments. Not only will the men have to work on each drill night, but the commis- sioned officers will have to study up in order to be able to impart the neces- sary knowledge to the men. Many of those who in the past have held com- misions in order that they might sport uniforms and shine at social functions will find under the new order of things that they will have to become proficient in the art of war or thelr commissions | will be in danger. The inspections on behalf of the United States War Department, in or- der that the authgrities may know the exact standing and condition of the va- rious organizations in this State, will commence this month, and such will be closer than they have ever been. Upon the report to be furnished will depend much of the help that the United States Government will extend to the National Guard of this State. If it is found care- less, negligent and indifferent but little assistance will be rendered, but if there is evidence of a desire to make the State soldiery anything like what it 1s thought it ought to be, then material ald will be given. The officers and men will havs to do their level best to create a first-class deputation unless thcy desire to suffer greatly by comparisons, for this year the National Guard will go into camp with the regulars, for two reasons— first, that they learn something about | camp life by observing how the regu- lars conduct a camp, and, second, to give the inspectors an opportunity to «ce how much or how little they know of camp dutles. £L£DVERTISEMENTS. 5th ANNUAL CLEARANCE SALE OF UNDERWEAR Commencing to-morrow, January 4th, and continuing during the entire week, we will hold 2 CLEARANCE SALE of LADIES’ UNDERGARMENTS, consisting of imported and our own manufacture. largest, best and most reliable garments ever placed on sale. s The line embraces the GOWNS, CHEMISES, CORSET COVERS, DRAWERS, SKIRTS- Made of muslin, cambric, sheer linen, nainsook and lawn; effectively trimmed with fine, durable laces and embroideries.
