The rooms were appropriately decorated, and the Chinese pupils took part in a musical and literary program, which bad been prepared. Rev. George C.

Dr. Pond was ‘also presented with a beautiful inlaid table of carved ebony. for his private residenve. Drs. Mooar, Willey and Rowell made short speeches, and Dr. Warren closed with prayer.

Deviin and Rogers, Van Slack and Pa( for the collection of certain moneys from the State, the District Attorney of that county is quoted as follows : *The contract directs the District Attorney to bring suit for the recovery of the money, and employs the law firm to assist him. If he should see fit not to bring suit it is my opinion that the firm could do nothing ion the matter.” 2 The situation is somewhat different in Nevada county. On December 17th a suit was begun in the name of Nevada connty. against State Controller Colgan to recover $10,081 54. The complaint-was filed by Deviin & Devlin, the names of Rogers, Van Slack & Paterson (who have since washed their hands of the whole affair) and District Attorney Riley being signed to it. Mr. Riley’s name is not in his own handwriting, having been subscribed “by Devlin.” Last fall the County Supervisors had voted to employ the two firms mentioned to assist the District Attorney in collecting the claims, instructing him to begin proceedings forthwith. They fixed the compensation of the assisting attorneys at 25 per cent of whatever moneys might be collected. Similar contracts were made with counties all over the State. The people and Supervisors suddenly awoke to a realization that it was a one-sided and foolish proposition so far as the counties are concerned, and there is now a general howl against carrying out the terms. Devlin & Devlin, who have been at some slight expense in preparing papers, have said that they are willing to drop the matter if compensated for their outlay, which is fair and proper, It should be dropped by the counties like a hot stove. Went to the Live Oak. W. M. Gillette. of Oroville, George Van Gorden and H.R. Sterne of San Jose, and G. W.

The rooms were appropriately decorated, and the Chinese pupils took part in a musical and literary program, which bad been prepared. Rev. George C.

Howdo you feel?’ Soon I was honestly able to say that I felt sick, and they drove me home with their cheerful expressions. “The dinner? We will pass that.” WEDNESDAY. “Same experience in the morning.

The nervous symptoms entirely went, and all other abnormal conditions vanished. The experience in my own case naturally led

to a conclusion as to the cause of the disorders with many of my _ patients, and I have had occasion in numerous cases to insist upon the abandonment of coffee entirely, and the substitution of Postam Food Coffee, with highly gratifying results.

Deviin and Rogers, Van Slack and Pa( for the collection of certain moneys from the State, the District Attorney of that county is quoted as follows : *The contract directs the District Attorney to bring suit for the recovery of the money, and employs the law firm to assist him. If he should see fit not to bring suit it is my opinion that the firm could do nothing ion the matter.” 2 The situation is somewhat different in Nevada county. On December 17th a suit was begun in the name of Nevada connty. against State Controller Colgan to recover $10,081 54. The complaint-was filed by Deviin & Devlin, the names of Rogers, Van Slack & Paterson (who have since washed their hands of the whole affair) and District Attorney Riley being signed to it. Mr. Riley’s name is not in his own handwriting, having been subscribed “by Devlin.” Last fall the County Supervisors had voted to employ the two firms mentioned to assist the District Attorney in collecting the claims, instructing him to begin proceedings forthwith. They fixed the compensation of the assisting attorneys at 25 per cent of whatever moneys might be collected. Similar contracts were made with counties all over the State. The people and Supervisors suddenly awoke to a realization that it was a one-sided and foolish proposition so far as the counties are concerned, and there is now a general howl against carrying out the terms. Devlin & Devlin, who have been at some slight expense in preparing papers, have said that they are willing to drop the matter if compensated for their outlay, which is fair and proper, It should be dropped by the counties like a hot stove.
