Their Arrival Creates a Panic in

the pair of fur seals presented to the
Golden Gate Park were put into their new
quarters in the deer park night before last.
Their arrival was the cause of great commo-
lion among the deer and elk and other in
habitants of the inclOsure. and from their
actions it was evident they regarded the in
vasion as an intrusion upon their rights.
The seals at first seemed lost and wan
dered aimlessly about, their melancholy
bellowinss filling the night air with dismal
sounds.
Large crowds saw the strangers yester-
day, and as the seals wobbled about on the
land or disported in the water, a fine op-
portunity was afforded for observing them.

Captured Because he Went to Sleep on
a Coal Car.
F. S. Milligan, the slippery forger who
has defed all efforts to capture him
since last August, was brought to this
city, yesterday, to answer to the charge
against him, and in default of $1,000 bail
spent last night behind the bars.
Milligan passed check on Hugh ].
Smith, to which was signed the name
of j. B. Lankershim. A warrant was
issued by Justice Stanton, for his arrest,
but the sheriff's officers could get no
trace of him until Friday last, when a
telegram was received from Flagstaff,
Arizona, announcing his capture by the
authorities at that place.
Sheriff Gibson left for Flagstaff but
when he reached there the bird had
flown, and Mr.. Gibson returned to this
city. Milligan had been shackled to
another prisoner, and their irons fasten-
ed to the wall. lie obtained possession
OF ~chisel and freed himself without
difficulty from the shackles, and also
succeeded in making his way out of the

on coal car, where he fell asleep, and
when the train pulled up at Gallup an

He was brought to this city by Deputy
SherihlClark, of Flagstaff.
AS was stated in the HERALD few
days since, Milligan was arrested in this
city three or four months ago for an Of
fense committed at Visalia, and was
tried and sentenced to long term in
Jail, but Governor Markham pardoned
him shortly after his incarceration.
He Immediately came here and passed
the check on Mr.. Smith and then started
east, but was intercepted at Winslow by
Sheriff Francis, of Coconimo county, and
taken to the jail at Flagstaff, from which
he made his escape as detailed above.

when products are low, and their ad
vancement, when products are high, is 6
correct business principle.
"The cost of doing business is the
rule, certainly as a business PROPOSE.
ton, that we have to apply to this ques-
tion, and [ trust you will inform Mr..
German that in all of the time we have
been in Southern California, and with
all our lines in that section, including
the Atlantic and Pacific, the business
has never been profitable; but, on the
contrary, it has cost us several hundred
thousand dollars over the total amount
we have been able to receive for carry
ing the traffic offered, to maintain and
operate those lines, without giving back
one cent to the people who have in
vested in those securities"
President Marvel then says: "This
has so strongly impressed itself on my
mind that feel the only remedy for us
is to have a considerably larger produc-
tion of grain, fruits, vegetables, etc., to
enable us to maintain even the rates we
now have. This is the reason for my
agitation of the immigration question,
and every prominent citizen of Southern
California will, think, concur in the
statement that what is needed is larger
number of people. The cities are too
large for the country"
After referring to losses of tie road by
water, and the mountainous country it
traverses, the latter continues: "While
it is true there ia no greater cost to the
railroad company in handling carload
OF mixed vegetables than a carload of
potatoes, 1t might with equal truth be
said that we can haul carload of or
anges as cheaply as Car of coal; but
the endeavor of our, tariffs is to place
the figures in such relative positions
that the burdens, such as they are, shall
be relative to the profit on the article
itself. If the prices of fruits
are low this season, or if they were high
last season, it comes from causes en-
tirely beyond our control, and we are
not able, even if the prices are low, to
do our business at less cost than q year
ago. do not like the idea of making
an experiment for one year, as Mr. Ger
main suggests"

The Festive Ben Must Answer the

The Ben Hunsaker embezzlement ex-
animation came to a close yesterday
morning before Judge Owens. During
the morning the prosecution introduced
one witness in rebuttal, Mr.. Schark, Of
San Francisco, who contradicted a state
ment by the three Hunsakers that Mrs,
Clark was in the old gentleman's office
in San Francisco on the afternoon OF
August 18th, and made all the arrange.
ments for the saloon purchase. He tes.
titled that the complainant was at his
house, the Oakland house, that after
noon from | to 6 O'Clock.
There were brief arguments, and Judge
Owens held Hunsaker to answer to the
charge, and fixed his bail at $4,000. He
had been unable to furnish the bail up
to late hour last evening.

An EnjoyabIe way to Take Tea.


There are people who get more out Of
life than others by a sort of philosophy
of contrast or change The listener,
being invited to tea not long since, found
the table set under the apple trees just q
few steps from the kitchen door. There
We're several children seated about the
table, expressing by their demure manner
that it was not a novel thing at all. 'Oh,
nor said the hostess; ''we've hardly eaten
dinner or supper in the house for three
weeks. If it's possible thing we set the
table out here or on the piazza at least.
There is only one disadvantage, it makes
it harder on the girls, but we all take
hold and help, so that they are as pleased
as we are"
1t was delightful to sit under the trees
that fecked the table cloth with moving
shadows and seemed to add new flavor to
the simple food. The house stood back
from the street of course, and yet if it
had been near the street there might
have been great gain for the passerby.
1t would have given touch of sociabil-
ity to the street, like that so character
istic of the French, who eat in public so
gracefully.
1t formed sort of daily picnic, with
out the toll and bugs and depressing
after effects of that great American in
stitution. 1t added charm and relish to
the meal, and made the summer more
distinctly time for vacations and out
of door impressions. 1t seemed GUS
tom that could be proftably followed by
many suburban dwellers and it would
be distinct lengthening of the play
time Of midsummer.-Bos Transcript.
