Up on the Omaha reservation , the birds are being literally exterminated before they are half grown. Cnnlitit your society take some steps wlihMi will put u stop to this unlawiul practice.

The principal charadtor just at present is Mrs. Ashcroft , moihor of Florence Blytho , the latest claimant for the millionaire's monoy. Although sulTor- inp from sickness , Mrs * Anhvroft was on the stand for sovorul days last week anil rotieatod the story of her lifo her meeting in London with Thomas Blytbo , his promises of marriage and llnal desertion , followed by the birth of Floroncu , and thu subsequent marriage to Joe Asheroft. The story of Mrs. Ashcroft loses none of its interest in the tlotails. Grief was her portionand sel dom was it dispelled by joy. Ilor sea son of happitioss was short with Thomas H. Blytho ; the shame that came of it was so great that her filth or was not told of it. Then her marriage with Ashcroft ban-on qf everything but tears and bitterness and remorse. She concealed from her hus band the address of. Blytho , fearing Asheroft would attempt to blackmail the man who had caused her so much sorrow. The father of Florence seemed to have forgotten his little girl and her mother , and for two tyoars nothing was heard of him. At the o.n"d of that tlmo the witness wudordorcd toTwrlto him by her husband , and eompliotl only when "Joo" Asheroft stood ever her with a bludgeon and dictated the words that she should set down. The cross-exami nation shown that the defense is not sat- isliod with Mr. Blytho as a father for Floronco. A largo crowd listened to her story , moro could not get iuto'the court room. The pioneers have prominent places in tlio room , and many ladies listen with eagerness to every detail of the case. The hearing of this case is notable for many things ; ono mattoVin particular strikes the observer. Th6 usual court room frequenters have "been replaced by n bettor element , and interest more than curiosity draws tbb audionco. There are , however u number of tough characters seen in the court room daily , and the impression has gone abroad that an attq'mpt is to be made to abduct the girl plaintilT , and thus end the proceedings. To prevent anything of the kind detectives have been engaged to watph Florence and accompany her wherever she goesnight and day. A will is said to be ill exis tence giving all the prdporty to Florence once , but so far the much sought after document has not boon found , although it is believed to bo -possossion of at torneys at Ix > s Angeles } . . - v. . . - . - TAGI1T lif CIlfsJAXOVJJi. .

"Dr. " James A. Hodges , who gained BO much notoriety in February , 1887 , by his attempt to throw a bomb at Adollna Pattl during u performance at the Grand opera houeo , attempted to end his lifo by cutting his throat in this city recently. Fortunately , ho did not cut quite deep enough , nnd with the aid of a few stitches and a good constitution the old doctor will bo spared to add'a few moro years to the three score and ton which have already passed ever him. The act which" made Hodges no torious is ono which will not bo forgot ten in a hurry by any ono who attended the last performance given by Adnlina Pattl in the Grand opera house in Feb ruary , 1887 , and saw the bomb thrown by Hedges como flaming through the air in the direction of the stage. The excitement raised by the action was something Intense , nnd the only thing that pi evented a panic was the coolness of the famous songbird. Ilodgos. was talcon , burned and bleeding from the theater , and after a trial , was sent to prison for two years. Ho was released last December , nnd cnmo back to San Francisco to llnd that his wife of forty years had died the month before , aim that his daughter had fol lowed her soon after. Whonho | hoard of this the old man , who had always acted quocrly , Bcemed to lese his senses en tirely , and lie accused every ono of con spiring to do him an injury. By his wife's will everything she had was loft to her son-in-law , Albert T. Warron. Hodges contested the will , but , after a long and acrimonious contest , it was sustained. Since then Hodges made bovornl visits to Warren's residence , 20 Derby place , and made demands upon him. When refused ho would organ ize a street mooting and denounce hia son-in-law as a murderer. After his at tempt at suicldo Hedges said ho wanted to die , and objected to having the wound sowed up. Ho must have spent considerable time preparing for his death , for ho had bovoral letters , written in iv rambling way , in his vest pocket. IjAND MONOl'OIA"S CUUSIJ. The curse of land monopoly has ever boon ono of the most gigantic oviln of the century and of the country. It is making giant strides here in California. It is opposing itself as a barrier to pro gress. It is a stumbling block placed on the road to improvement , for the purpose of wrecking the traiils of ontor- prise. Its vicious work is to bo seen on every hand. The Norris grant in Sac ramento county is ono of the most glar ing examples of the baneful results of land monopoly. It seems ns though hero hundreds of homes might bo dot ting the landscape ; a thousand children basking in the sunshine ; the music of the church boll nnd the voices of happy bcholars making melody whore now the rolling plain echoes only to the low of the cow , the bleat of the sheep , and the neigh of the horse ; orchard , and vine yard , and farm standing as silent wit nesses to the growth and prosperity of the county. Yet no such picture pre sents itbolf. But a few houses can bo soon and dozens of herds and Hocks. All this tair land is the property of ono man. Not content with hoarding to Jiimsolf those vast acres , the owner thereof has barb-wired Ihom all in , until only the county road is loft. For ever thirty years this vast area has been the rendezvous of pleasure parties. It was one of the few places in the county where a pleasant Sunday could be spoilt. Now it is locked up , and its boundless acres , untillcd. have naught but cattle , sheep and horses for Iho bock.ground.to the landscape , wliilo -aver and anon. The ini'rri ; brown liurcs come leaping Over the crest of the bill. And as they leap the Duke of Sacra mento and the love of the Rancho del Paso glances hoardingly ever the union , "millions of hands want acres ; millions of acres want hands. " THE CITY LICKNbK KKVUNUR. The annual report of the city license inspector shows the total collections for the past year to have been $510,677,40 , as against $480,128.35 , last year , an in- increuse of S21,455. ! ) : ! The classifica tion of the revenues is as follows : Mer chandise , $94,192 ; bankers , $22,150 ; liquor dealers , $235,800 ; municipal li cense , insurance , laundries , solicitors , $52,713 ; dog Inga , $7,257 , stock certifi cate tax , $7,71 ! ) , of which $0,810 was paid to the state treasurer ; one-half proceeds from permits for the sale of lire-crackers , $705 , the other half hav ing been paid into the lire relief fund ; vehicle licenses , including street cars , $22,929 ; pawn brokers , $0,000 ; theatres , $7.108 ; Chinese nnd other bnskot ped dlers , $11,010. The expenses oi the li cense olllce for the year are about $28,500.THE THE UNION LEAGUK CLU1I. The organization of the Union League club in this city has been a matter of great surprise to the politicians of both parties , most especially that class which depends largely upon the general apathy of the bettor class of citi/ons for success. The club is thoroughly repub lican , nnd will advance that cause at all times. The idea developed during the last campaign in the organization of the conference convention of republi can clubs was that of concerted and continuous action. The practical illus tration of that principle was the bring ing of the young men prominently to the front and they assisted materially by united action in making a brilliant victory. The present organization will not bo restricted to ago nnd will bo thoroughly independent in its move ments. The formation of the league is largely duo to Colonel William H. Chamberlain , the active president of the Dirigo club. KcUpatli anil iTon DnvlH. The acquaintances of Mr. James Rod- path who know that ho was ono of John Brown's men in Kansas are surprised Dr. J.
