PIARCH 24, 1904 THE LAWS OF WAR HE Russians accuse the Japanese of firing on a quaran‘. tine station and thereby violati:g the laws of war. It is an interesting fact that the first thing that the Peace Fribunal of The Hague did when it was fully organized for work was to draw up a code of laws to be observed by combatants. It knew that man was so addicted to the fighting habit that he could not be weaned from it all at once, and the wise men who gathered at the Dutch capital felt that they miust do the best they could under the circumstances. So, while they worked for peace they decided that they would as far as lay in their power rob war of its terrors and lessen as much as possible its inevitable horrors,’ _¢ All the civilized nations of the world have agreed to abide by these laws, and as a result of the work of The Hague Tribunal, war is. now carried on in a more humane way than ever before. No nation would violate these laws intentionally, for while no method of enforcing them exists, yet any power disregarding them would quickly feel the effects of public feeling. No nation in the world can be reached in this way as easily as Japan, which for years has been fighting for equal recognition, If Russia’s latest charge be true, the Japanese may be depended on to avoid a repetition of the offense and to make all thc amends in their power. SUBSORIPTION : $6 Per Year . By Cerrier, :Delivered toany vart uffthe city. 12 1-2c Per Week > een nee e ae WHERE THE DANGER LIES T may be questioned whether the great donations made to the cause of education by multi-millionaires are an unmixed good, says the Oakland Enquirer. That they furnish the means by which some of the largest universities are carried on and that they supply a method by which surplus millions may be used in the public service are undoubtedly true. It cannot be denied that the money thus expended is of far more benefit than if expended in building up a system of demoralizing luxury or if devoted to any of the numerous and varied forms of.modern dissipation. As far as the donor is concerned, therecan be no doubt that the present fashion of educational donation is a gocd thing. But in all charitable systems it is necessary to take into account the effect on the recipient. In olden times, before the relief of the needy had been reduced to a science, the ‘liberal giver was regarded as a public benefactor and he who gave most freely was most entitled to public gratitude. His gifts and their effect were not too critically scrutinized. But after a while it was discovered that mere giving is not all that is needed; that almsgiving is in many cases the most uncharitable of deeds. Mendicancy is encouraged and confirmed by a policy designed to have the contrary effect. The same danger lurks in the modern big donation. It may demoralize the very institution it is intended to benefit. A certain amount of public spirit manifested in this way cannot be objected to, but if it reaches the point at which it hampers freedom of thought or action and converts college presidents and faculties into sycophants and flatterers it is time to calla halt. The State is larger and wealthier than any of its:citizens and can afford to support its\own schools. If ever the time comes when this is impossible it will be time to contract the system rather than turn it over to be supported by men {who happen to be wealthier than their fellows. The University of California has heretofore escaped the danger which has threatened some of its contemporaries and it is earnestly to be hoped that it will continue free from them. Donations have been received, it is true, but none has been dangerously large. No multi-millionaire has ap_ peared to threaten the independence of the institution. But at frequent intervals the telegrams tell stories of almost fab‘ulous donations made to colleges and universities in other “parts of the land and there are those even in California who ead these reports with envy and feel that they would be . willing to sell their birthright for a mess of the same pottage.

Mrs. James Bradbury passed away at her home at North San Juan last night. No particulare of ber death were conveyed in the message over the wire, and her sister, Miss Annie Oohen, immediately left for the Ridge town. It would appear that the deceased lady's illness was of short duration, as the fact of her being unwell was not reported at this city. The deceased was the wife of James Bradbury, who conducts the National Hotel at North San Juan. She was quite well known to our people, having frequently visiteti relatives and friends here. The sad news of her demise will be received with many deep regrets by those who knew her best. Her kindly ways and: noble traits of character endeared her to a large circle of friends, who will ever hold her in memory dear. Besides ber husband, she leaves two sisters, a brother and two daughters and a son to mourn her loss. ‘The deceased lived in Sierra county for some years before taking up her residence at North San Juan. The funéral will probably be held at the latter place on Saturday. Roaming Bovines. Much complaint has been heard of late concerning the depredations committed ty milch cows that are allowed to roam the highways and byways of the corporate limits at will. These itinerant animals have been a cause of much annoyance and worriment to many of our property h Iders and especially to the denizens of Piety Hill, where in one instance two of the domesticated ‘‘bossies” clambered over the wall of one of our well-known cittzens the fore part of this k and played havoc with bis beautifal\ lawn.

Arrangements are now in progress for a grand concert to be given at the M.E. Oburch soon, under the direction of John Wefry, musical director, and the pastor, Rev. J. H. Wythe.

Al though it was a staid community rath. er than a frivolous one, there was for many years an established town jest which was repeated in town meeting with unimpaired relish as often as its local officers were to be elected. The lowest office in the gift of the people being that of town hog reeve, the person whose duty it is to herd and impound stray hogs, they had made it the custom to elect to that unenviable position the latest married resident of the place,-fit or unfit, willing or unwilling. Once—there must have been an espe cial spirit of audacity rife at town meeting on that occasion—they even went so far as to elect the Rev. Dr Leonard Withington, then newly set tled over the parish, and a committee. acting in a spirit of mirth, yet perhaps with a dash of inward trepidation, was sent to notify him of the honor, which. of course, it was expected he would not accept. “Hog reeve,” he repeated thoughtfully, “It is true 1 came to this. place expecting to act as shepherd of a flock. but if my sheep have changed their character I see in that no reason to decline the task.” The reverend gentleman led, drove and exhorted his flock in the way they should go for the rest of his lifetime with notable success.—Youth’s.Com panion. i There is a strong man in a certa village in Hungary.

In reply to questions Lynch said: ‘‘There wee a beaten path from the courthouse to Sallivan’s office and I was ae familjar with the Traction Oompany’s affairs as if I were an employe. Salliven gave me money for bribing jurors a number of times.” Lynch declares he had bribed more than a hundred jurors. “Did any of the jurors you approached refuse to do business with you?” inquired attorney Gilbert. “I only remember threé who refused to go into the scheme,” replied Lynoh.
