MAY GO INTO CAHOOTS. Interesting Decision by the Supreme Court on Advertising Rates. jKibllsliers Can rix Tlielr Own Rates, and the County Must Advertise —Another Decision. The Supreme Court yesterday decided an important point in relation to county advertising rates. The point involved is discovered in the case of Winn vs. Shaw. The latter is the Auditor of San Benito County, and he ap pealed to the Supreme Court from a judg ment of the Superior Court of the county, ■which enjoined him from drawing a war rant in favor of a man named Hodges, who sold a piece of property to the county. The lower court found that the Super visors in purchasing the property had di rected that the ilotice of their intention be published as required by law. There were two newspapers c^' general circula * tion in San Benito county at the time, but the notice was not published as directed. The Supervisors went ahead and pur chased the property, and directed Au ditor Shaw to draw his warrant upon the County Treasurer for the sum due Hod ges. BOYCOTTED THE COUNTY. In January, IKOO, the Supervisors of San Benito County fixed the price of all county advertising for the ensuing year at 75 cents per square for the first inser tion and 25 cents for each subsequent in sertion. This rate, however, was not in accord ance with the views of the proprietors of the two newspapers of the county, one of whom w:is Winn, the plaintiff in this case. Winn and the other newspaper man had a conference, and they entered into an agreement, adopting a uniform schedule of prices to be charged by them for ad vertising, and stipulating that the same "should extend to all county work, and where possible said county work shall be divided as equally between the two offices as possible, each receiving a profit proportionate to the work done." By the terms of this agreement t!>e two papers were to charge for count y printing ?1 50 per square for the first insertion and 75 cents for each subsequent inser tion. The lower court found that neither of the newspapers was "willing" to publish the notice of the Supervisors' intention to purchase Hodgi s' property for the price fixed by the Superv&ero, trat they were at all times willing and able to publish it at the rate fixed by their agreement. The court issued the injunction against the Auditor. JUDGMENT AFFIRMED. The Supreme Court, in reviewing the case, quotes Section 25 of the County Gov ernment Act, which provides that lioards of Supervisors have jurisdiction to pur chase property for the use of the cotmty, but they must advertise their intention, ■with a description of the property, the price to tie paid, fixing the time for con summating the purchase, for at least three weeks in some newspaper of general cir culation published, in the county? or if none be published in the county, then by postiisg such notice, etc. "This provision." says the Supreme Court, "cannot be construed as simply directory, but it operates as a limitation upon the power of the Supervisors to make any purchase of real property, and unless the publication is made as directed, the- board lias no jurisdiction to act at all. The manifest design of the law is that notice shall be given to the tax-payers, so that by remonstrance or petition they may bo able to prevent it, or at least be afforded aa opportunity to be heard in tin nitttter; and we have no doubt that a compliance with the statute in this respect is essential to the validity of any such contract of purchase. It is urged, how ever, that to hold this provision of the statute mandatory is to place it in the FOWEIS OF NEWSI'AVKR PUBLISHERS To enter into combinations which will, in etl'ect, deprive the Supervisors of any voice in determining what shall be paid by the county for such publications * * and that a county may be subjected to the payment of exorbitant charges, or else cease to perform such governmental func tions as, in order to be legally exercised, require published notice at some stage of the proceeding. This is an argument, however, which could more properly be addressed to the Legislature. The'lan guage of the statute under consideration Is plain, and the court must give etl'ect to It as it is written, and if the evils sug gested are likely to flow from this con struction the remedy must bo by legisla-: tive action. "It is further urged," continues the court, "that the county, or plaintilf, will Hot sutler any damage if the land of Hodges is accepted and paid for. But the question here is not whether the county will profit or loose by the transac tion. If the law forbids • • • that must be the end of the matter. "The question as to the validity of the contract made between the proprietors of the newspapers, is not involved in this ease. Judgment is affirmed." The decision is written by Justice De Haven, all the others concurring. ANOTHER DECISION. An opinion was also rendered yester day in Exparte Clark on Habeas Corpus. The petitioner is the mother of Charles Henry Clark, a minor, and the respon dents, who are husband and wife, claim that has become their child by adoption. They base their claim on an order made in November 1888, by John P. Finn, one of the Judges of the Superior Court of 8«u Francisco. Attached to the order was a written consent signed by James P. Clark and Annie E. Clark, the parents of the child, consenting that their son be adopted by "Jacob" Keulein. Following this was a written agreement and consent Stoned by "David" Ueulein and Mrs. Kate Reulein, in which the latter consented that "David" Keuleiu might adopt the child, and in which be agreed to adopt the boy and treat him thereafter in all rosjH its as his own lawful child. The order of the Judge recited that James P. and Annie E. Clark, and "Jacob" Reulein and Katie Reulein, appeared before him. bringing with them Charles Henry ('lark, aged '1 years and 11 months; that alter questioning the several per sons he found "Jacob" Keulein was de sirous of adopting the boy; that his wife consented to such adoption, and that it was for the best interests of the child that the adoption should take place;, that the parents having signed the necessary con sent, and "Jacob" Kculein having exe cuted the proper agreement, it was therefore ordered that the boy should thenceforth be regarded as tho child of "Jacob" Reulein. TKi: NAMES MIXED. In the habeas corpus proceeding before the Superior Court, the real mother of the child, Mrs. Clark, alleges thatjhe is de tuned and restrained of his liberty by "John" D. Reulein and Katie Ren lem. The writ was addressed to them and an answer was filed signed by "John" D. Renlein and Katie Reulein. admitting that they, hold the custody of the child and claiming the right to do so under the order of the Su perior Court. In rendering the opinion of the ques tion, the Supn-m? Court says: "It Will be observed that the parents consented to the adoption of their child by "Jacob" Reulein and that tho agreement to adopt is signed by "David Roulein. and the or der ot the court gives the child to "Jacob" Reulein. There is nothing in the record of the proceedings^ show that the names of "Jacob" Reulein, "David" Reulein aud "John" D. Reulein indicate ONE AND THE SAME PERSON. And in our opinion the order is void, and affords the respondents no warrant for detaining the child. It confers no right upon them, and is manifestly too uncer tain when read in connection with the agreements upon which it was based, to render anyone liable as the parent by adoption—especially one whose name SACBAHEKTO DAILY RECORD-TOTTON, WEDNESDAY, FEBRTTABY 11, 1891.—SIX PAGES. does not appear in the record at all. An other objection, which is fatal to tho va lidity of the proceeding, is. the fact that there is nothing in the order showing that Jacob Reulein or David Reulein was a resident of San Francisco. It is doubtless true that a parent is not entitled to the custody of a child who is old enough to work and care for himself, after consenting to emancipation, but there is no basis for any such claim in this case. The minor is a young child incapable of caring for himself, and there is no pretense that the respondents have any authority over him other than such as is conferred by the order referred to. It is ordered that the respondents John D. Reulein and Katie Reulein, forthwith restore to the petitioner herein the care, custody and control of said Charles Henry Clark. A BIG BLAZE. A Section of Chinatown Destroyed by Fire Lust Evening. The New Year's celebration of the Chinese in this city was appropriately capped by a large-sized fire last night, which centered in and consumed several shanties on the north side of I street, be tween Second and Third. An alarm was turned in from box 34, at Third and J streets, and when the de partment arrived the llames were shoot ing out from the rear and front of the bouses. The porches and lattice work in the rear of the shanties burned like fuses, and inside was a mass of llHine. Six lines of hose were stretched, and the fire men rushed into the doorways in front and rear with streams of water. A second alarfu was turned in by Chief Engineer (iuthrie, and No. :{'s engine and cart came down to lend assistance. All three engines were set to work pumping, and two of the carts exhausted their sup ply of hose. The firemen worked well, and despite the fact that the structures were all of the frailest character and burned like kindling, the men had the fire under con trol in half an hour after their arrival. The large brick building om the north east corner, owned by Mrs. Gregory, was not injured, but the "structures adjoining it for about fifty feet on the cast were gutted. They wore the property of Jacob Tate and B. IT.l T. Steinman, and were oc cupied by Chinese exclusively. A number of Chinamen \w;ro in the cellar smoking opium when the li:<> broke out, and for a time during its progress dozens of tbcnj rushed about frantically declaring to their eonntrymeo that seven or eight Chinamen were in bed in the opium dens and would be burned to death. < nicer Goods broke into a section of the sidewalk and with the assistance oi a young man pulled five men out of the cellar, while the dense volumes of smoke were rolling out of the doorways and windows. At 7:50 o'clock the whistles announced that the fire was out, but for some time afterward a stream of water was kept playing on the sniokk'iimr coals in the cellar. About 5,000 people gathered on the the scene, and the Streets and sidewalks in the vicinity were thronged. While running out of the burning building two firemen fell through an aperture in the sidewalk into a cellar. They wore rescued immediately and found to be but slightly injured. The fire stai-tol in the renf of the build ings where some firecrackers were being exploded. Chief (iuthrie says he will not allow any other than brick buildings con structed in place of tho burned houses, Unless the City Trustees give the prop erty-owners special permission to iio so. TWO BAD BOYS. Judgro Cravens Sends Them to a Re form School In San Francisco. A fair-sized Tuesday calendar was dis posed of yesterday by Judge Cravens. Ah You and Ah Sing, two Chinamen who were arrested by the officers for promiscuously discharging all kinds of fireworks, bombshells, etc., on I street, were lined §5 each. The case of Fred Brown, charged with a criminal assault on a Mrs. Furber, was continued until Saturday. Bob Tethcrton and Ed Jordan, two boys who have been causing the police much trouble by their petty thefts, were sent to the Boys' and Uirls.' Aid Society's School at San Francisco, for two months. S. W. Butler was lined §ii 50 for mis demeanor, and the charge of battery against; Al Sherman was dismissed on the payment of costs. Board of The State Board of Equalization con sisting of Controller E. P. Colgan, J. R. Hebbron of Monterey County, R. H. Beamer of Yolo County, L. C. Morehouse of Alameda County, and J. >S. Swan of San Francisco, met yesterday but trans acted no business. The revenue law was examined with a view to presenting amendments to tho same for the Legisla ture's action. The board will meet to-day, when a vote will probably be taken on the selec tion of a Secretary. Xot Enough Evidence. A. S. Pago was examined before Justice of the Peace Devine yesterday on a charge of attempting to rob Edward Thompson in a J-street saloon Sunday. There was only the uncorroborated testimony of Constable Martin, who arrested Page, mid Jndge l)ev-ine decided that he would not bo justified in holding the defendant to answer, so he discharged him. Attacked by His Wife. A man named Carroll called at the Po lice Station last night with his face be smeared with blood. He said his wife, : formerly Mrs. Anderson, who lives on I Sixth aud M streets, became enraged at i him and hurled a stick of wood at his j head. It struck him in the face and cut a I deep gash below his eye. Officer Stafford I dressed the wound and sent Carroll to his j home again. Meeting: of Clerks. At a meeting of the Clerks' Early Clos ing Union last evening at the Court house J. C. Moore, S. H. Thompson and i:. E.

Pointed Reply to the Rev. Dr. Thom son's Sermon. Criticism of the Proposed Sunday Law and Its Provisions—The Real Fight. Eds. Record-Union: I have noticed your report of Rev. Dr. Thomson's lect ure on the proposed Sunday law. I ask a little of your space for comment on a few points. Your report quotes him as pleading for such a Sabbath as "our I lathers made as one of the original Amer | can institutions." If our fathers made I any Sabbath as an original American in stitution, it was that "Puritan Sabbath" which Mr. Thomson claims not to want. The fathers of the Federal Constitution did not make any Sabbath at all. They left every man free to have for himself just such a Sabbath as he may choose, and to have it just when he chooses. Ab solute liberty in matters of religion is tho boon left to us by our fathers. Every ! member of the American Sabbath Union has an undisputed right to any kind of a I Sabbath he may desire, without any ap peal whatever vo the California Legisla- \ Cere. This Mr. Thomson we'll knows, i and tho fact that his Union is taking an I appeal to the Legislature is prhna j'ueic \ evidence that something more is wanted than the privileges guaraiitce.,l by the fathers of our republic. The appeal fox a Sunday law shows that this Sabbath Union wants to saddle upon the people I such a Salibath as tfieydo noi wain—at. j least that :i majority of them do not want. | Tiie Sunday law proposes to enforce uSab i bath dpun the people whether th^y want it or not. Such was not the intent of the ' | fathers of our republic, nor is it the spirit I oi' our Constitution. Mr. Thomson says that "some people uo not understand (nat precedent is law." i The proposition that precedent is law, is I one that has many exceptions. It is oor where accepted arbitrarily. But if we grant the proposition in its fullness, then toe reverend gentleman is surely one i who does not understand the precedent. ; li is illustration is decidedly wide of the mark, lie says, "if we concede to the President the right to a day of rest, why not concede it to every lnsui?" The speaker has been echoing through this State for many months-thai old hob by promulgated by Mr. Crafts, that ex empting Sunday from the ten days al lowed the President. in which to* sign bills passed by Congress is a precedent for a Sunday law. But the granting of that privilege to the President has noth ing compulsory about it. The President is ! not prohibited from signing bills on Sun- ! day. Ho may aign every bill that comes I to his hand on thai day if ho so desire. The intimation that every other man I has not the same privilege conceded to | tho President is entirely nullified by the very next proposition ofthe.speaker" He says, "lv the judicial department no le g;ii process can issue on Sunday." Very true, and why? Simply because it is de- ; signed that every man shall have the same right as the President to exorcise his conscientious scruples regarding the observance of the day. But the Judges iii-e not forbidden to work every Sunday if they choose upon matters under ad visement or upon any work pertaining to their offices other than holding sessions I of court or issuing processes. And this \ arrangement is a protection to every man outside of the courts against infringe ment of his right to use the day as he pleases, just as the President does. Again, "General Washington went so ! far as to deny himself to visitors on Sun j day, and himself and family—as have all ! Presidents since—attended church regu larly on Sunday." Well, what if he did ? lie did so because he chose to of his own free will. There was no Sunday law to compel him to do so. So with all the other Presidents. The precedent set by Geueral Washington did not operate as a law to compel succeeding Presidents to follow his example. If "precedent is law," as Dr. Thompson argues, then every President would bo compelled to refuse audience to visitors on Sunday and to go to church regularly, because his predecessors did. But the Presidents have not the monop oly of such privilege, nor have tho Judges of courts. Any man in California can do so, if he lives near enough to a church. If he voluntarily accepts a position where he knows that ho will have to work on Sunday, that is his own fault. The Sab bath Union employes have been very zealous in trying to create the impression that yoimg men are forced to work on Sunday or go without employment. But while they have reiterated the standing arguments of Mr. Crafts, there is one point which he makes in his book, "The Sabbath for Man," which they overlook in appealing for a Sunday law. He argues strongly, and cites illustrations in proof of his position, that those employes who conscientiously and persistently <le cline to work on Sunday Invariably gain cither better places or the stronger confi dence of their employers. So we see they have two classes of Sun day arguments—one to use in jirging young men to a strict observance of the day, and the other in working up senti ment favorable to a Sunday law. The position of tho young man varies accord ing to the turn of the kaleidoscope. The number of laboring men out of employ ment is rather against the argument that they are a badly overworked class. ■\\ hich is better for a laboring man out of employment, or a mechanic on half-time, to have a day's work on Sunday or to be compelled to lie idle? If he has no scruples about the religious observance of the day, would ho not much prefer a day's work? Mr. Thomson expects the Sunday law to do much greater wonders in California thau it has ever done anywhere else, in the way of reform. He proposes that it will relorm the gambling clerks* although the saloons and gambling places be open six days and nights in the week. He pro poses that a one-day-in-the-week law for bad boys will be a protection against their I "going to t!ie ba.i." There are already several laws for this purpose covering seven days in the week, but the boys go to tho bad nevertheless. The expectations ' for tho Sunday law are far too sanguine. I There are Sunday laws in all the States excepting Idaho and California, and the boys are "going to the bad" in all of them. Their is plenty of evidence that California boys are not at all ahead in the nice, Mr. Thomson to the contrary not withstanding. In short, nearly all the evils of our State are attributed to the lack of a Sun day law; but there is abundant evidence that in all the States the same evils exist, ami in about an equal degree. The Sun day law has not proved, in all its history of fifteen centuries, a panacea fur the tem poral or spiritual ailments of the people in any country. But in this connection, a word in regard to the bill now being urged by the Sab bath Union and its auxiliary forces. There have been loud appeals for the week ly rest of the laborers in places usually operated seven days in the week. But the bill now before the Legislature ex empts nearly all these.. It exempts hotels, boarding houses, baker shops, baths, markets, restaurants, livery stables, retail drug stores and "stfch manufacturing es tablishments as are neeessarilj- and usually kept in continued operation." This includes the whole list of employes in whoso behalf the appeal is made, ex cepting bar-keepers. And a loop-hole is left big enough for evnry saloon-keeper in the State to jump through, in the exemp tion of hotels and restaurants. Every body knows that it is a common dodge for saloon-keepers to make restaurants of their places of business when the saloons are closed and restaurants are allowed to sell liquors. In fact, many of the restau rants are little better than saloons at any time. This wholesale exemption shows that the "civil rest dny" plea is only a screen to cover up a religious movement. It is made apparently easy in order to get something called a Sunday law—an enter ing wedge, a foundation upon which to build a more strenuous structure at 3 more opportune time, when the Ameri can Sabbath Union shall have secured the backing of a national law, which is the eventual aim and original purpose of the organization.

Pat Fay was on tire in the little town of Washington on Monday, and although no alarm was turned in, there was more ex citement than if the bridge had collapsed. Jim Glenn and Pat were on a drunk, and Jim got mad and accused Pat of painting him. Pat denied the charge, and raddling to a corner fell all In a heap. Jim waited until his companion fell asleep, and then stealing up to him he poured about a pint of coal-oil on Pat's head. He had plenty of matches on hand, and reading the directions on the box, "You scratch, and we do the rest," he obeyed, and in an instant Pat's head resembled a huge torch. There was a howl of pain from the victim, and parties rushed to his rescue. Fay was badly burned about the head and face before the fire was smothered. Glenn has been arrested. BALL-PLAYERS ON DECK.

The Signal Service temperature at 5 a. leafed sps m. yesterday was : JA° and 52°, while the highest und lowest temperature was o:)° and 30°, with light and variable winds, and adoudedsky. The barometri cal readings at S a. m. and 5 p. m. were 30.1G and 29.90 inches, respectively. The highest and lowest temperature one year ago yesterday was ;'>» J and 4-I°, and one year ago to-day 60° and 3.S°. On the l'Jth and 2(i;h of February one year ago, says Sergeant Barwick, there was one of the heaviest storms that was ever experienced in California in that month, there being over two and a half inches of rain precipitated. The barometer yesterday fell more rapidly than it has done before in a long time, and the prospects are good for rain, and a good one, too, notwithstanding ihe Sergeant's dry theory, promulgated on the 9th inst.
