his eyes, portion of his nose, and half of
his mouth are visible.
He was brought 10 the police station

Armstrong and Welch-both of whom
are white men-were each, ii appears, jeal-
GUS of the others attentions to the girl
and when they met in Rossa's saloon, early
yesterday morning, they began to quarrel
about her. Loud talk and foul language
were INDUCED in, and in the midst of the
hostility Armstrong whipped out razor
and slsshed it across the left side of
WEIGHS face, producing horrible cut that
extended from under the nose to the base
of the neck, below the left ear. The cut
was fully twelve inches long, and the
cheek was laid wide open.
No vital spot was reached, however, and
there is strong probability thet Welch

When Emma Abbott brought out "Er-

of people anxious to hear the production

was filed in the theater. 1t was estimated
that at least 500 people were outside,

While the proprietors of the late Sacra-

and apparently waiting patiently for
some rich baseball enthusiast to make
proposal for the purchase of the Capital
City franchise, the managers in the other
cities which will be represented in the
California League next season are quietly
signing players and picking out the best
material that can be found in the State.
The San Jose Herald says:
yesterday Manager Finn, of the new

He has signed six players. Little Speer

play left field with the nine.

Two Kinds of Girls.

estly, to his wife, Il am half sfraid to have
Agnes come to Us on an extended visit?
why ?'' asked Mis-. Troy, smiling.
Because of her influence on cur daugh-
ter Bertha. l am afraid Agnes has not
been brought up right. She is a girl who
is fond of parties, rides, visits and all kinds
gives a thought to anything except her own
pleasure"
And Bertha" said Mrs. Troy, lis
girl who appears best at home. She
hardly cares to go out at all, and then only
to a little social gathering of intimate
friends Are you afraid that Bertha will
be spoiled by her Cousin Agnes exam
pie ?''
THAT is what / was thinking of. 1t
may render her dissatisfied with her home
life"
"That," said Mrs. Troy, with another
smile, ''is exactly what l had in mind
when l invited Agnes to stay with US all
winter"
81 am surprised to hear you say SO" re-
Piled Mrs. Troy, gravely. II thought you
would wish to guard Bertha from any bad
influence"
$50 l will" replied Mrs. Troy, earnestly;
shut / am quite certain Agnes will not
spoil her. On the contrary, expect her
10 do Bertha great deal of good"
SIN what way
"In several ways. Bertha is becoming
an old woman before she is ont of her girl
hood. We must not let her stagnate.
There is danger that she will become dull
aud moping if she does not associate more
with girls of her own age; and when
Agnes is here, Bertha will be obliged to
accompany her to entertainments, pay
visits with her, and in various other ways
enjoy life. There is no danger of her be-
coming infatuated with mere pleasure
She has too much sense for thai; but it
will certainly brighten her up. Then their
association will do Agnes good.p
do you think SOP
Yes. Agnes is giddy moth. but she
he's plenty of common sense, and Bertha is
certain to influence her character, give her
more serious view OF life, and make her a
quieter girl
THAT is, you hope that each girl will
supply what the other lacks-acting as
mutual balance-wheels, as it were?'
Exactly! They are both good girls, but
of different kinds, and ] hope to modify
both and unite their good qualities into
one"
1T is certainly an experiment worth try
ing" said Mr.. Troy.

The inccrTigible boy thief, Harry Kagee,
together with two of his young compan-
ions, Harry Jordan and a lad named Tith-
erton, have been caught again at their old
tricks Of petit thieving, and now occupy
cells at the police station.
1t Yves only couple of weeks ago that
the youngsters were allowed their liberty
by Judge Buckley. after they had promised
to lead better lives.
Kagee, at least, seems to be afflicted with
kleptomania. His latest adventure con-
sisted of making away with box of
raisins from grocery store at Tenth and K
streets. The facts are best expressed in
Kagee's statement to Captain Lee, as fol-
lows:
''Me and Jordan was standin' on the cor

ROSA INDIGNANT.
He Claimed That the Police Trampled
On his Rights as Citizen.

He Claimed That the Police Trampled
On his Rights as Citizen.
Had it not been for the loose policy that
prevails in this city of issuing licenses to
nearly all sorts of disreputable persons who
apply therefor, the affair above described
would not probably have disgraced the
Christmas Eve of even that low-down
locality-the Barbary Coast of the Capital
City.
Rosa, as is well-known, runs one of the
worst dens in the State. There are other
dives in the city that occasionally make
spasmodic efforts to rival it, but they sell
dom succeed. The most digraceful scenes
of rowdyism, debauehery and robbery are of
frequent occurrence there, where the worst
of the criminal classes in the city nightly
congregate.
1t is almost as much as mans life is
worth 10 venture beyond its portals, espe-
cially if he be stranger and happens to
have any money about him. The ex con-
victs, prostitutes and local thieves and
thugs that rendesyouz there are of the very
worst and most desperate sort. They sell
dom fall out among themselves, but are
always on the lookout for easy victims.
The usual disgraceful orgies that are en-
acted there did not quite come up TO Ros-
sa's idea of what an Lstreet Christmas Eve
blowout should be- so he applied for and
obtained a special license to have dances
in his den on that and Christmas might.
After the ArDstrong-Welch atfray the
police officers on that beat put stop to the
Bacchanalian festivities, which materially
leAened the attraction at the Rosa dive.
whereat the holder of the license waved
wroth. He put in an appearance at the
police station last evening, in the absence
of Chief Drew, and, furnishing his two
night license. demanded to know if an
American citizen was TO be deprived of
his rights in the high handed manner
manifested by the police He said he had
paid for his license to have Christmas
Eve and Christmas night dance a. his
place; that his musicians were engaged and
were there ready to go on with their music,
and that it was all important that he
should know then and there whether or
not he was TO be allowed 10 resume the
festivities.
Officer Frank White, who was in charge
of the office, told Rosa he had no author
ity to set aside the order under which the
dance had been stopped on the preceding
night, and that he must see the Chief of
Police. Rosa departed with the air of one
who felt that his rights had been trampled
on By the minions of the law, saying that
he would return later.
Later in the evening Chief Drew was
communicated with by telephone, and
when asked in regard to the matter, re-
piled that he had concluded that, inasmuch
as Rosa had been given license to con-
duct dance in his place last night he had
no right to prevent 1t so long as it was con.
Quoted lawfully.
