This gave Dr. McCreary an opening, which he was quick to take advantage of. He again quoted that part of the ad- vance notice stating that one of the ten rounds." That unfortunate sentence for the fight promoters afforded him a chance to again explain the technical terms of the prize ring. Mayor Parker, who acted as referee, poured oil on the tempestuous waters. by saying that as the city did, not have an ordinance covering the matter, he had instructed the police to stop the contest at the first signs of brutality He had been told it was to be merely a boxing exhibition.

Although the Councilmen had voted against the sus pension of the rules to have the ordi- nance voiea on, ne respected tneir mo tlves and held them in the highest re spect. After a permit had been granted to Miss Mabelle Chace to have a house moved, from Cherry St. to Mission St and an Invitation to attend the annual meeting of the League of Municipalities had been read, an adjournment was taken until the regular meeting next year, Jan. 6th. ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.

The Daily Events Has Gone the Way of Many Other Newspapers In Santa Cruz. The Daily Events is no more. Events occur as usual, but the newspaper named, will not have a share in them, The most important event in its career took place when it ceased publication Monday evening, after only eleven numbers had been issued. If the num ber had reached thirteen there might have been something in the fatal fig ure after all that acted as a hoo-doo Eleven is not unlucky according to the negro superstition, for in a crap game the player always exclaims, "Come seben, come 'leben!" imagining it will help his luck, The Events was the successor of the Record. Until J.

S. Taylor became its day. It was announced that the paper would hp Democratic in nolities. and would be Democratic in politics, and right there may be dated the first step towards suspension. It is an old saying that Democracy and water do not affiliate, so when water was introduced into the office with which to operate the press trouble began.

There was no way to get rid, of the water after it was once used. As water felt strange in a Democratic office, there was but one conclusion to be reached either water or the Democratic journal must remain and water won. The only way to win victory was for the proprietors to spend several hundred dollars In laying pipe from the office to Cooper St. so as to run the waste water into the sewer or to install an electric motor. It did not take long to decide the question.

The proprietors reached a conclusion in quick time, for they agreed that if any more money was to be spent they would expend it in some other town. The only course remaining was to suspend, the paper. Dormer and. Littlefleld left for San Francisco on the train Monday night Taylor is to take his departure this week.

iu assure you there will be no prize fight at the Opera House next Satur- night." So spoke Chief Rawle at I the meeting of the City Council Tues- dav evening. The remark was made after a protest nad been enteredl against the fight by Revs. J. R. Kno- dell, E.

D. McCreary and R. N. Davis, There was an unusually large number or spectators present, consisting or ministers, business and professional men, but there was not one among them who lifted his voice in favor of the fistic contest. Before the discus-! sion wa3 finished the Councilmen had received considerable instruction in the technique of the prize ring.

They heard Dr. McCreary explain what was meant the trick in ten rounds," which sentence he read from an advance notice of the fight. This was to show that it is not to be a contest devoid of slugging. J. R.

SEES IN 'PHONE WHO IS TALKING. BRUSELS. The Independence Beige says that Dr. Sylvestre, born an American but naturalized as a Frenchman, has invented a spectrograph which enables a person using a telephone to see his interlocutor and the latter's surroundings. A French Minister, according to the paper, has witnessed conclusive tests of the invention and King Leopold has arranged a special audience for Dr.

Sylvestre for the purpose of inspecting it. It is said that the instrument can be adapted for use on an ordinary telegraph wire. NO HINDRANCE, Harold, aged 20, had just returned from a trip- to the mountains, having been out of reach of the barbers for a period of about six weeks. He brought back with him, then-fore, a perceptible streak of down across his upper lip, "Well, Puss," he said, as his 10-year-old sister met him at the door, "I suppose you won't kiss me this time." "Why not?" she asked. "Because I've raised a mustache." "Huh!" said Puss, putting up her mouth, "when I want to kiss anybody do you think a little thing like that is going to stop me?"

KNOX CONFIRMED. WASHINGTON, Dec. 17. Just before adjournment last night the Sen ate confirmed the nomination of Phil ander C. Knox to be attorney general of the United States.

When the Senate had disposed of the canal treaty the attorney general's nomination was called up. The discussion turned upon a motion made by Senator Jones of Arkansas to recommit the nomination to the committee on judiciary, in the meantime publishing the testimony bearing on the case. A motion to recommit was lost by a vote of 43 to 7. There was no roll call on the motion to confirm, which immediately followed. FRANCHISE DISPUTE IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY.

SAN JOSE. Several months ago George T. Dunlap or Gilroy asked for electric railway franchises covering 100 miles of the principal thoroughfares of this county. When bids were asked for on these same franchises, E. Myron Wolfe of San Francisco, representing some unknown interest, filed offers which in several cases exceeded those, of Dunlap, the applfbant.

The Board, however, favored, the home bidder and awarded Dunlap all of the franchises. Wolfe at once carried the contest into the courts, where the matter bade fair to be pigeon-holed unless some counter move should prevent. The Board made that move Monday, when, in answer to Wolfe's suit the Board averred that it did not propose awarding the franchises to any of the contestants and asked the Court to dismiss all actions pending. When the deck is clear bids on the franchises will be asked again. HORSES FOR BRITISH USE IN SOUTH AFRICA.

TACOMA. Iarge numbers of range horses from Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon are still being shipped via New Orleans and Portland, to South Africa for the use of the British army. Every medium-sized horse on the ranges and farms Is worth $60 to $80, while only six years ago there was no market for them at even $5 td $10. Next Monday L. Meader of Waitsburg will ship fifteen carloads of horses from Pendleton to Nampa, Idaho, where a British Government inspector will pass upon them These horses are gathered, into a corral to fatten on grain.

Three months ago it was almost impossible to secure more horses, because the entire available supply was demanded for harvesting. Buyers have lately gone into more remote settlements, and the present indications are that shipments will continue all winter. The British agents have letters from South Africa stating that Northwestern horses last many months longer than the light European horses heretofore bought for army use.

I Jta There are 687 divorce cases on the docket at Providence, R. I. This, with the report of more than 300 applicants for divorce at Washington, has been accepted as evidence that marriage is failure. As a matter of fact the number of divorces does not prove any thing of the kind. It has been found that in nine out of every ten cases in New England the divorced parties promptly marry again.

Indeed, the sole object of most divorce applications is another marriage. The institution is so far from being a failure that men and women want to extend the blessings of marriage to other persons who are single. Philadelphia Record. AT THE RECORDER'S OFFICE.

The Eccles School Zayante School District Miss Josie Buelna, teacher, held its Christmas exercises last Friday afternoon with songs and recitations appropriate to the occasion. The-school room was prettily decorated with ferna, evergreens and holly berries, and the blackboards illustrated the various stages in the journey of good old Santa Clans on his ever-welcome visits to the homes of the little ones. The following was the program: Song, "Christmas Bells," school; "What is Christmas?" Herman Bros-trom; "Nativity," Edna King; "First Christmas," Nellie and Rose King, "Christmas Bells," Mary King; "Christmas Skies," Esther Martin; "Christmas Eve Thought," Annie Brostrom; "Santa Clans," school; "A Visit From Nicholas," Herman Brostrom; "Santa Claus and the Mouse," Clarence Martin; "The Mistletoe," Bertha Martin; "A Real Santa Clans," Alvin Martin; "Christmas Eve," Susie Kenville; "The Night After Christmas," Johnnie Smithwiek; song, "Baby's primary class; "Washington."

An old Swedish custom is for people to indicate their business upon their visiting cards. You will receive the card of Lawyer Jones, or Raker Smith, or Notary Johnson, or Music Professor Brown, or Grosserer (which means wholesale merchant) Furgeson, or Geologist Thompson, and if a man ever held office it is customary to indicate that fact upon his card. A burgomaster is always a burgomaster, a Consul is always a Consul, and an Alderman always an Alderman.

The prefixes "Hon." and "Mr." are seldom used, and the title, whether commercial or professional, is observed in conversation in the same way. It would sound rather queer for any one in the United States to ask, "Wholesale Merchant MacVeagh, will you kindly pass the butter?" or "Banker Hutchinson, will you escort Fru Board of Trade Operator Jones to the table?" or "Director of Mueic Ziegfeld. I wish you but that is the custom in Sweden, and it is observed by children as well as grown people. A lisping child will approach a guest, make a pretty little bob-courtesy, and say. "Good-morning, hief Justice or supreme Court Fuller." or "Good night.
