The Entcrprising burglar.

When MaLshal Finn aad officer VIII
liam FurlGng came on duty yesterday
morning and learned of the shooting of
the burglar they Immediately took up
the trail where the night force left off.
By the blood stains they traced the man
to the Charles hotel at the lower end
of Water atreet, through the hallway
and up to his room. On the floor and
bedding was found blood stains and two
men who were occupants of the room
were disturbed from their rest to find
that a man who had been an occupant
OF the room, but who was at that mo-
ment missing, had relieved them OF their
watches which they had placed very
carefully under their pillows or retiring.
One Of the men was the proud possessor
OF two watches and the other had one.
The latter guest had also placed a hun
dred dollars under the pillow which the
thief had overlooked. The pillows were
blood-stained, proving conclusiyely that
the man wounded was also the thief in
this case. The officers continued thciI
search and made inquiry of people com
ing in from the outlying districts. From
milk dealer living out on the Port Dis
coyery road It was learned, that mar

roomer at the Charles was met some dis
tance out on the road. Proceeding to

THE CHINESE CURSE.
What Our City VIII be Afflicted With II
not Prevented in Time.


Ono OF tho first duties of the new city
couLc;! should be the enforcement OF the
ordinance regarding the health OF the
city and particularly the cleaning up OF
the Chinese quarters. We read every
day OF the Chinese nuisance in cities
along TIE coast and elsewhere where
they gained foothoid. Port Townsend
toe, Is afflicted with these stencil cree-
tors, ard the localities where these IN
welcome residents exist, the air is laden
with the foniest odois. The Los Ange-
les Express paints the following true
picture of the Chinese curse:
Strong complaint was made before last
| nights meeting of the boarG o. health
against the Chinese nuisance, The CHI
| mes" are eucroachipg moro and more on
the business portions of the city and
their hIiahting influence is already felt
on North Main street, this eide OF the
Plaza. At The present rate ct progress
they will shortly begin to work south
on that thoFoughfare aud some OF the
best business property in the city will be-
irreparably injured. If one will look at
the once fine business streets of San
Fraucizco that are now lined with deEs-
of filth and immortality as result OF the
spread Of the Chinese plague. he viii bet
ter appreciate the danger. Business
blocks, once handsome and filled with
fine stores, Dow swarm with Chinese as
with rats and yermin. Dozens ct the
heathsn live, eat and sleep in one room
The cellars beneath are hOneycombeG
with little cells, each filled with almost
as many persons as eau lie in 1t, wbiIs'
the foul atmosphere and the filth are ab
most indescribable. Rank and foul
odors rise from tho basement and greet
the passer by.

A Chinese Verdict.

Thirteen Cinnamon at Seattle, Friday,
made their escape from the county jail.
where they had been held for nearly two
years past, for being unlawfuIiy in the
United States. The authorities have
been working hard to return them to
British land where they came from,
without success. And now the cupidity
of the Cinnamon has settled that which

escape. The matter might as we'll be

titled. AS we'll might they look for 4

THE CHAP ON THE CORNER.

Th4 peaceful sIumbers of the residents
OF that PaTt OF the city near DevOe's man
sion wore Turhless!y disturbed Frida,
midnight bv .Iie explosion of a gun foi
lowed by five shots fred in Quick success
sion from pistol. Mr.. revoe's famiI,
understood tue meaning # it but the
nelghbors did not, and in an instant {
dozen windows were thrown up and the
occupants of the dwellings, clad only il
Mother Hubbards, put their heads out
of the windows and asked "Why this
ciatterT' When informed that a bur
giar had been fired Upon they immedI-
ately Withdrew their heads and proceed
ed forthwith to place thei trunks against
the doors, and in oue or two instances
beds were placed agatust the entrance to
rooms and ancient blunderbusses loaded
and the male members of the household
sat up in bed prepared to defend their
corner lnts with their lives.
That an enterPrisIug burglar shouId
baye the audaci;y to return to the scene
of his labors for the deliberate purpose
Of demanding Z reward for that which
he had stolen was Just little bit too
much, and Mr.. Devoe, assisted by Dep
uty Sheriff W. J Jones aud John McIn-
MS, resolved to block his game with the
aid OF few slot guns and Smith & Wes-
son revoIVers. The officers certainly de-
served hetter Success after the manner
IN which they had worked up the case.
Deputy Jones, though young in years.
has proven himself to be a man Of tact
10 his profession as thief-take.. His
sleverncss is backed up by more than
average amount OF nerve. 1t is to be re
GREETED that when Mr.. McInnis fred
that the light was not bright enough foI
him to see his man. Too much credit
cannot be gwen these two young mcr
for the admirable manner in which they
worked up the case. No blame ear
possibly be attached to theif action
IN the mans escape, it was simply ill
uck that beteil them. We think it is a
lesson In experience both to the officers
and burglar; 1t is not at ali probable
that lie will step into another trap of lhs
same description. That he is a Dervy,
bold, bad burglar there is no denying,
and it ia more thar likely be would have
shot tho officers the moment he saw
them.

Strangers are impressed with the fact
that Port Townsend has no idle men,
The street corners are not the resort oi
loafers and idle workmen, as is the case
in most of our neIghboring cities. No
workmen need lie idle here, for there is
work OF nearly every description to bc
had. In fact the demand seems to he
greater than the supply, and good wages
are paid, too. 1t is certainly creditable
showing for our city.

An exchange says that most people
have five senses, To these there should
be added q sixth. which we call common
sense. But an old writer declares that
common sense is the most uncommon Of
ali senses. Even in these days of news
papers and popular education common
sense don't seem to flourish as it shonid.
Masses of men who ought to know bet
ter let crazy or selfish agitation lead
them into all sorts OF foolishness, to cut
off their noses to spite their faces. II
common sense was as common as it's
name implies, the crank and the dema.
gogue would find their occupation gone.

sight, said to the lad: "Son, by the de-
veIopment of the inherent propensity OF
Bachanalian revelry, we involutionize to
the grade of pachyderm. Quem deus
vult pedre prius dementa." This Judi
cious rebuke bad its effect. The good
man passed on. The lad dropped the
bottle, staggered to seat on the cur b.
stone, and spent three hours in medita-
ton, at the end of which time he was
conveyed in hack to the hospital.
