OPINION ON BILLBOARDS.
Points of General Vaiue Made by a
California Judge.
Judge Welch of the superior court of
Santa Clara county, Cal., in delivering
an opinion against a billboard company
makes the following points, which
must be of general interest. In fact,
they are of interest to every citizen of
California if not of the nation, says the
Los Angeles Times. '
"It is difficult to discover just the
line of demarcation that separates the
power to restrain an act offensive to
the hearing and to the sense of smell
from an act offensive to the eye.
"A glaring billboard set opposite a
man's house in a vacant lot bordering
upon a public highway In a country
town devoted to homes is just as offensive
to the immediate residents as
would be the maintenance of a pigsty
giving forth offensive odors or the
maintenance of a stone breaking machine
or the chime of hoarse bells. In
nrin^inlo there is no difference between
them. It Is, after all, only a difference
in degree. Each is an interference
with the peaceable and quiet enjoyment
of one's property.
"There can be no donbt that a board
of trustees may not declare an act or
omission a nuisance which is not in
fact a nuisance and which cannot under
any circumstances in fact be a
nuisance. But it does hot follow that
many acts which are not in themselves
nuisances may not be declared nuisances
under certain circumstances.
There can be no question of the power
of town authorities tb declare such
acts to be nuisances when circumstances
justify.
"A billboard may be a nuisance or
it may not, and a general advertising
business carried on in a community
may be detrimental to the general welfare
and so become a nuisance. The
proper function of the board of trustees
is to ascertain and declare the act
to be a nuisance. Under the . general
laws of the state 'anything which is
injurious to health or is indecent or
offensive to the senses or an obstruction
to the free use of property is a
nuisance' (civil code, section 3479).
"As applied to the facts here, this
section when analyzed must of necessity
leave open to some power the de
termination as 10 wuai net m muctcui
I or offensive to the' senses or an ob[struction
to the free use of property
so as to interfere with the comfortable
enjoyment of life or property, and
section 862 of the municipal government
act commits to the board of trustees
of a municipal corporation of the
sixth class this power.
"The evidence as recited in this brief
clearly shows that the act prohibited
was offensive to the senses and interfered
with the comfort and well being
of the community and fully justified
the judgment of the board of trustees
that the maintenance of the billboards
under the conditions there existing constituted
a nuisance and should be prohibited."

'WOMEN WHITE WINGS.
Good Work of Auxiliary 8troot Cleaning
Forces In Denver.
When Captain Phillips and , his small
army of street cleaners appeared in
the vicinity of Gaylord street and
Twentieth avenue in Denver the other
day prepared to clean up the rubbish
and leaves he was startled to see more
| than a dozen women leave their houses
and come into the street with brooms.
; It almost took the captain's breath
away when they begged permission to
i assist his men in cleaning up the
street, says a Denver special dispatch
to the Boston Herald.
At first the captain was a trifle embarrassed
to find so many fair women
in his employ, bnt when he saw how
well they did their work he directed
them from his automobile.
From the one block the movement
has spread until now nearly every
block on Capitol hill has a fully organized
auxiliary street cleaning force.
The women do their work quietly,
raking the leaves into very synjmetri^cal
piles of various shapes and consider
it a fair reward if they are permitted
to strike the match that fires them.
Captain Phillips is quite pleased with
the addition to his force. In fact, it is
rumored next season he may consider
applications from women white wings
favorably. v

The Twentieth Century Park.
The up to date neighborhood park of
today embraces more than well kept
lawns, attractive flower beds, screenin
c Rhrnhherv nlantations. shady walks
and rest inviting settees, says the Los
Angeles Times. One of the most usej
ful innovations are the playgrounds, in
and out door gymnasiums, wading and
swim ruing pools, etc., and in some systems
of our larger cities and towns we
find libraries, reading, club and meeting
rooms, indoor swimming pools,
baths and shower baths, etc., and the
regularity with which they are visited
by numberless thousands year in and
year out since their inauguration
shows convincingly that they fill a
pressing demand and receive thankful
appreciation.
On. the Right Road.
Nortonville, Mo., has received quite
a little free advertising recently owing
to its neat appearance. People going
by on the trains have noticed the
beautiful park on each side of the railway,
and some of the big newspapers
have called attention to the plans of
Nortonville for improving and beautifying
a community. Strangers visiting
the town praise the clean and well
kept streets and the flowers in the
parks. Nortonville is on the right road
and is getting good results from its
work. The town and the railroad work
together to make the place pretty. The
railway's right of way through the
town is almost a boulevard.

dress by the Rev. C. N. Caldwell, a
missionary from China, at the annual
meeting of the Woman's Missionary
union of the St Louis presbytery at
the Cook Avenue Presbyterian church,
St Louis. , j
The zealous promoter of the gospel
began his preaching career in his own
town, and while visiting a nearby village
to perform the same service for
its Inhabitants he aroused their ire
and was hung to a tree and used as a
mi nail ps TTndannted. he
continued his sermon for three hours
and ended by converting the entire
village, which is now one of the strongest
mission poets in China.
The faith of the Chinese, the missionary
declared, is far greater than mahy
of his Christian brothers'. "On one occasion,"
said the Rev. Mr. Caldwell,
"I was solicited by a convert to hold
a prayer meeting twelve miles away.
When I arrived, after a long journey,
I was takeif into the yard and requested
to kneel and offer prayers for the
recovery of a dying buffalo, which 1
did, notwithstanding my chagrin to
1 find the nature of the prayer meeting."
The Rev. Mr. Caldwell is in America
on a furlough. He has been stationed
for eighteen years in north Kiangsu,
once a great famine region. He says
the Southern Presbyterian church now
has eighty missionaries and 2,000
Christian converts in this region Of the
foreign field.
QUEER STUNTS OF STAGS.
They Assault Wadding Partiss and
Jump Into Motor Cars.
The Exmoor stag which sought refuge
a few days ago in a farm garden
and upset several beehives, to the discomfiture
of his pursuers, was less
daring than one of his predecessors
which plunged into Barcombe tunnel
in a frantic effort to escape the hounds
only to find a more'formidable adversary
in an express train which thundered
down on him and cut him to
pieces.
Another deer known to local sportsmen
as the Countess leaped through
a closed window into a cottage kitchen,
butted a girl from her chair in
front of the fire and then proceeded to
demolish the furniture and crockery,
while a fourth deer, hotly pursued, ran
into the grounds of Colonel Trant,
near Thurles, entered the dining room
window and prospected the house for
a means of escape.
At High Wycombe not long ago a
stag dashed through and scattered a
crowd assembled to witness a wedding,
making its escape through the
parish churchyard, and another leaped
i into a butchers shop at Burgess Hill,
j while a still more desperate fluimai
took a flying leap into a motor car at
Roumale, near Paris. ? Westminster

Towed to Sea by a Turtle.
William J. Forbes, prominent in
Wall street affairs, narrowly escaped
death by drowning just outside of San
Diego bay on Oct 29 after a spirited
en/win tor with n ro? turtle. The New
Yorker was out In a small boat fishing
when the turtle, a monster In size,
grabbed the line and ran with it
Forbes was accompanied by a fisherman.
They determined to land the
turtle If possible, but succeeded In upsetting
the boat when they were whisked
out of the bay toward the sea. Fortunately
the line, which was tied to
the boat, broke, and they were able to
cling to the craft, the turtle making
off with the tackle. They w^re rescued
when'almost dead from exhaustion
after being In the water two
hours.

SELF HYPNOTIZED.
Remarkable Case of Anaesthetic Men*
tally Administered.
Writing to a London paper, a medical
man tells this story: "A remarkable
incident happened recently at a
London dental hospital. A young woman
went there to have five teeth extracted.
The anaesthetic decided upon
by the dental surgeon: was ethyl chloride,
and this was administered by the
usual form of apparatus. An india
rubber cap is placed over the patient's
mouth and nostrils, and connected with
it is a bag into which a sealed capsule
of ethyl chloride is introduced. By the
turning of a screw from the outside
tonaii la la hmlrAn and tha a naps
thetic liberated. The screw was
turned, the patient went off gradually
into the usual condition of insensibility,
five teeth were extracted, and the
patient awakened without feeling any
part of the operation.
"The whole case appeared perfectly
normal. Only when the young woman
had left the room and the apparatus
was being made ready for another
patient was it discovered that the capsule
of ethyl chloride had by some mischance
not been broken at all. The
whole condition of insensibility had
been brought about by the self hypnotism
of the patient The ides that
an anaesthetic was being administered
was so strong in her mind that she had
passed into insensibility entirely by
hypnotic suggestion." , v

forty minutes. Koko is owned by C.
B. Barnold of New York. The tooth
on the left side of the lower jaw of
the ape was capped with a gold crown,
and an impression of the corresponding
tooth in the upper jaw was taken.
This tooth is in bad shape, and it
will be necessary for the dentist to
treat the molar for a few days before
setting the gold crown in place. The
ape is eight years old, and Barnold
has owned him for\ seven years. He
never whimpered during the operation,
bat he strenuously objected to the napkin

Then, with power reversed and all

and crushed in the back as
though it had been made of papier

with the crash and soared

As Mrs. Putnam flew past Roth
braced himself with his legs wide

the waist, withstood the shock of her
weight and tremendous momentum for
the breadth of a second and was recovering
his balance, while she swung

Mrs. Putnam, refusing medical attendance
on the spot, went home in a

Before that she told her rescuer
