The ASe or Consent.

Assemblyman Beck's rape and
seduction bill was defeated in
the Senate, only eight Senators vot-
ing for it. These were Boyle,
Comins, Dunlop, Forbes, Gala
gler, Millett, Sproule and Will
liams. The Elko Independent ex-
presses the sentiments of the best
people of the State by saying:
"The age of consent should be
raised from y to at least Is years,
and we are at loss to know how
any man who has a daughter or a
sister could object to any such a
measure"

SUNDAY AT SALTWATER.
A Young Cincinnati Girl Arrested for
Stealing.
SHE ADMITS HER GUILT
And Is Locked Up in the County JAIL.
General News of thu
Day.

A young German girl named Kate
Aliens, employed as a domestic in the
the family of l.. A. Deragisch, SOB South
Fourth street, was taken into custody
yesterday charged with the theft of S55
in money from her employer. She had
informed the family that she was going
to attend early mass at the church, but
it being learned that she had
not visited the sanctuary. MIR. Der
agisch's suspicious over her alb
sence resulted In an investigation
which showed $50 of his money to be
missing from his drawer in the dressing
case. The girl had proceeded from the
house direct to the union station, in
tending to take the $3.50 a. m. train, but
being too late. inquired as to the fare to
Cincinnati, and arranged to take the
next train for the East, afterward going
to the Chicago house, OH Main street,
where she was traced and arrested. She
acknowledged the theft, and returned
all the money except about dollar,
which she had spent. The girl had been
at Deragisch's but about week. She
is under seventeen years of age, an Or
phan. and has but one relative, sister
living in Cincinnati. 1t was to go to this
sister that she says she took the money.
Beyond this affair she appears to be all
honest girl. The prisoner was locked
up in the county Jail, where she passed
the day in violent weeping.

and his home is almost overrun with
art treasures, each of which is worth
SMALL FORTUNE.
His country home at Larchmont is
perhaps one of the finest suburban
houses in the state. 1t is situated-on a
long peninsula which projects three
quarters of mile out in the sound and
forms the eastern boundary to Larch-
mont harbor The peninsula is called
Flagler'S Point, and through the cour-
tesy of its owner residents of the sur
rounding country are allowed to drive
over its macadamiZed roads in every
direction.
Mr.. Flagler has two daughters, both
of whom are very pretty. Two months
ago his elder daughter. who was mar
ried to Fred Benedict, son Of the Wall
street banker. died in the latter'S steam
yacht Oneida, while on her way to the
South.
Although Mr.. Flagler owns two
yachts, q steamer and SlOOp, he cares
but little for the sport. Neither does
he care for horses or dogs. although his
city and country stables are both filled
with the choicest breeds of both. His
one hobby is hotels. He never con-
quered his youthful ambition, and when
he found his millions growing so large
that they were becoming something OF a
white elephant he determined to indulge
the hope of his bOyh0od to an extent it
never dreamed of. He is now the pos
SCISSOR of three
MAGNIFICENT HOTELS
in Florida, where the general public
can be accommodated at prices ranging
from almost nothing up to $50 day.
His last venture in this line was so eX-
traordinary that it can almost be called
caprice.
1t grew out of fancy to build hotel
at Fernan0ina, Fla. He decided upon
a certain plot of ground Oh which stood
a church. He offered the congregation
50. 400 if they would have the building
moved, which was agreed to-. Shortly
after a meeting was held to raise funds
to liQuidate a debt of $500 hanging
over the church. Mr.. Flagler was pres
ent, and when the collection was taken
up 1t was found to amount to $500. Mr..
Flagler asked how much more was
needed, and he was told the amount.
He wrote out q check, gave it to COM
mittee. and left the building without
saying word.
The hotel he erected cost Sl,500.000.
1t is built of sea-shells and a peculiar
cement, combination which becomes
in short time after exposure to the ele-
ments as solid as rock.
The people Of Fernandlna regard MIR.
Flagier with reverent awe that almost
amounts to superstition. He has done
more for the place than all the rest Of
its population together, and the people
appreciate it.
They say he may be a grinding mon
opolist when he is in his Office On Broad
way. but in Fernandina he is just the
reverse.
