Successful Stage Robber.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Nov. 2S.-A
tective in the employ of Wells, Fargo
& Co.'s express is authority for the
statement that the recent series of
stage robberies in Northern California
were the work of "Black Bart" the
famous lone highwayman who robbed
thirty-one stages in this state before
he was finally captured five years ago
and sent to San Quentin. Bart, whose
real name is Bolles, came
from Missouri and began
hi, robberies in 1870, and for
13 years he completely mystitied the
police. His system was to watch the
stage coaches with powerful field
glasses, and when he found no armed
guard was on the stage, he would
mask himself and hold up the stage
without regard to the number of pas
sengers on board. He regularly re-
turned the money and valuables to fe-
male passengers, and it was his GUS
tom to leave Aoggerel verses on the
broken express boxes, making game
of the detectives. He was fin
ally caught in San Francis
co and sent to San Quentine
for seven years. The detective
learned that Black Bart after his re-
lease last January went TO Visilia, in
Kern county, and registered as
Moore. When the stage was robbed
near Reading, last July, the detective
suspected Bart, and investigated. He
found all the familiar methods used
by the lone highwayman, and since
then three other stages have been
robbed in neighboring counties, all
by the same skilled hand.

Advice from the White Caps.

A LITTLE ROMANCE.
How a San Antonio Belle Married
Her Dallas Lover.


Her Dallas Lover.
A few days ago the marriage of q
San Antonio belle in Dallas was an
nOunced, and it was a surprise to her
relatives and intimate friends. There
is u little romance in this instance
that is worthy of relation. The lady
comes of an honored aud wealthy
family and being pretty and rich had
many admirers. Some time ago she
went to Dallas on a visit to married
sister, and there made the acquain-
lance of poor but honestn dry
goods clerk. Cupid was lowering
round and managed to get in his
work. They met, they loved, and ere
long desired matrimonial honors, but
friends objected. Love laughs at all
attempts to out-wit him, and therefore
the San Antonio belle disappeared
and became the wife of her lover.
Later on she returned to her sister,
avowed her marriage, and the sister
brought her home, but her father was
mad and said: Take her back to her
husband, L dond want her here.n
There was little enlargement, but
friends are coming round and are
recognizing the inevitable. A friend
of the family, a rival, yesterday said,
81 don't blame her, nay more / ad-
mire her. The girl who has the grit
to refuse good offers of marriage, and
to leave her friends for the sake of
the man she loves, is treasure, and
while regret that did not get her,
at the same time / honor the girl who
values the love of her husband above
all other consideration

Giles here of late, that Emperor Will
liam is suffering from an acute at
tack of his chronic trouble, swelling
inside the ear, abont which the doc
tors are much alarmed; it keeps him
awake almost continually, and drives
him to constant occupation for relief.
His odd way of turning up at sunrise
drills, and strange activity in rushing
from one function to another all day,
are thus accounted for. On Sunday
the people best informed in England
on the Inner Berlin News, told me
that he had become worse during the
last few days, and yesterday it was
announced, owing to the cold, he will
remain indoors during the week. If
the ear malady should take a serious
turn, there would be immense excite
ment all over Europe.

HIS OPINION.
A Saloon Keepers Practical Views
Upon the Free-Ice Question.

A Saloon Keepers Practical Views
Upon the Free-Ioe Question.
"The local breweries," said prom
nent saloon keeper, "say that the
public have no interest in this no free
ice question because under any cir
Gums tances they will get glass of
beer for "nickel," and that this con-
troversy is simply one in which the
saloon keepers and brewers are alone
interested but this view of the case is
wrong. Independent of the question
of creating monopoly in the ice trade,
it reduces the quantity of beer sold
for the nickel. To pay expenses We
must get certain profit and the
result will be more collar and less
"beer." have been selling II 81
ounce glass for nickel, now l have
changed my glasses, and instead of
ii 3-4 ounces of beer the public are
getting only eight ounces. The
breweries too will loose for am salts
fled that there will be $500 difference
in my account this month which is
lost to the breweries and of course
this means propOrtionate loss to me.
The public loses also: 3 3-4 ounces Of
beer in every glass. This statement
not only applies to me but it applies
to six other saloons doing large
beer trade and l am sat
isfied that the would-be brewery
ice-monopolists will find that they
have dropped the substance" in
grasping at the shadow" The plea
that the breweries cannot afford free
ice is all nonsense. st. Louis and
Milwaukee breweries can bring beer
here, pay freight, expenses, ETC., and
sold with good profit at $3.50 per keg.
Beer is sold in st. Louis at S. per
barrel of four quarter kegs, and at the
most, in small quantities, at Sl.75 per
quarter keg can be got. Here it real
ICES $40 per barrel, or $3.50 per quarter
of "a per barrel for transit and
agency expenses. Now, the local
breweries realize $40 per barrel of four
quarter kegs, have none of the transit
expenses of the foreign breweries and
must make a proportionately larger
profit. They can afford to sell beer at
s. per quarter keg and then make
much larger profit than is made in
any legitimate business in the city.
The free ice question is really one of
self interest, as you stated, and is de-
signed to benefit the ice factories in
which the controllers of the breweries
are all more or less interested. The
local breweries at the end of the month
in balancing their accounts, will find
that they have lost far more than
they have gained by their action and
a the eld Of the year, if contin-
ued, will be all the more sorry for
the action they have taken; but wait
and see.N
