A Costly VIsIT.-A man named Frank
Silva, recently from Kern county, drew
some money from one of the banks on Sat
urday and after night he went out to see
the Sacramento elephant. By a sort of
intuition that the menagerie was in that
quarter, he soon found himself among the
cribs on L street, between Second and
Third. One of these he entered, and hav-
ing prosecuted his search so vigorously as
to become overheated, he dotfed his coat
and hung it up on the floor near by door,
while he engaged in conversation with one
of the inmates. In one of the pockets of
the coat was 500 tied up in a handller-
chief. When he had concluded his inter-
view and again sought the street he met
friend who cautioned him against going
into such a neighborhood with money on
his person. This prompted him to ex-
anime his wealth, and he found it just 800
short. He sought the advice Of the police
yesterday, and officers Woods and Rider
and special Cat1erty arrested Rose Higgins,
the prOprietrcSs of the place, on a charge OF
grand larceny, and She will be examined
to-day in the Police Court. Cases Of this
kind are becoming monotonously frequent,
yet it seems almost impossible to secure
the conviction of one of these women on
charge of larceny. How would it do,
under the circumstances, to prosecute a
few Of them under the vagrancy law?
A CHANCE TO HEDGE" "A day or two
ago a lady,whose only wealth consisted of a
81 600 Government bond, went to one ofthe
moneyed institutions of this city and asked
the manager if he believed there would be
any serious decline in the value of her Sc
curity in case Cleveland should be declared
elected. Well, no. said the banker, "a |
don't think the Government paper will be
seriously injured in that event" But"
she replied, " they say that if Cleveland
should be President the Confederate debt
will be paid, and that surely would hurt
the Government credit" MY dear
madam - said the suiliup man of money
" if YOU have any such fear as this my ad-
vice to You is to hold on to ycur bond I'M
til after the official count of ballots in New
y ork, and then, if Cleveland should havea
plurality. you might sell it and invest the
money in Confederate bonds. 1t would
purchase you cart-load of them, and in
that way you might hedge out" The lady
walked out without indicating what course
she would pursue.
