Rich and Kacy Romance.

A Charge of Petty Larceny Develops a
Rich and Racy Romance.
On its face a case which will soon come
before Justice Glennon is one of petty lar
ceny. but back of this comparatively trifiing
charge is a story of love, romance and the
sale OF wife.
William Baum, clerk in q State-Street
restaurant, married his pretty wife of %
years in 1890, and took her to fiat in the
Florence Building. at $50 Thirty-eighth
street, where they are still living.
Not long aGterward his cousin, Arthur
Walter. came TO live with them. Walter
was impressionable, and soon fell in love
with his cousins wife. She finally con-
cluded that she had made mistake in her
choice Of hns band, and transferred her af-
fections to Walter. Baum objected strongly
to this, and the affair reached crisis on
July 18th, when Walter offered Baum SIS
for his wife. Baum considered moment
and then accepted. Mrs. Baum sat down
and drew up the contract, which was signed
by all three.
But the trouble did not end there. for
Walter did not have the SIS. 1t was, how
ever, agreed to carry out the original con-
tract on the installment plan. Baum took
all the money Walter had, and finally re-
ceived the last payment. He then entered
his objection to the whole proceeding. and
demanded the return of his wife. The other
parties to the contract, however, objected,
and Baum had Walter arrested on charge
OF disorderly conduct
The case was set for July 18th, but was
dismissed. Baum was then arrested on
complaint of Walter on a similar charge.
and that case was dismissed. Baum was
again arrested on charge of larceuy.-Chi-

CITY RALL WORK.
Neglected Machinery-Improved
Appliances.

The City Hall Commissioners held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to hear the re-
ports of Government Inspector Harrington
and Expert McAfee on the condition of the
four large boilers in the basement of the
City Hall.
In the main the reports agreed. except
that Mr.. Harrington totally condemned
boiler No. 2, while Mr.. McAfee thinks it can
be patched and repaired so as to do for
year or two more. Both agreed that all the
boilers and machinery had been badly used
and shamefully neglected. The machinery
throughout has been simply allowed to 60
to rot.
Another investigation is to be made by
Mr.. McAfee on Saturday, so that he CAN eS-
innate the probable cost of repairs and
new boiler.
:, One ofthe import ant questions now before
Iie commission is the introduction into the
recorders office and three or four other de-
partnentS OF some patent device for keep
ing and holding the large volumes of rec
ords, So that they will net be injured so
easily by constant use. Such device has
been submitted for examination and test,
ana as 1t has been adopted by the San
Joaquin authorities for the Hall of Records
at Stockton Mayor Sanderson, Auditor
Smiley and Recorder Reed will take a trip
up there on Saturday to study its workings.
considerable time was spent hearing the
many competitors who desire to supply the
County Clerks Office with metallic files, and
the Commissioners will announce their
cnolce and award the contract on Friday next.

Judge Hanford Of Seattle InteFpretS the
Chinese Exclusion Let.

SEATTLE, Aug. 1S.-United States Dis
trict Judge Hanford to-day made an i'm
portant Interpretation of the Chinese Ex-
clusion Act, requiring the deportation of the
Chinese who have come into this country in
violation of the Exclusion Act. Heretofore
all Chinese who have entered this country
unlawfully and who have been captured
have been sent to China. Judge Hanford
decides that they shall hereafter be sent to
the country from which they came This
will send all Chinese who come in
hereafter from British Columbia back to
that country.
The case in which the Judge made the
decision was that of Lee Hem Bow, one of
the Cinnamon recently brought over the line
by "Cowbery" Terry, apd over whom Dep
uty Sheriff Poor was killed. Lees resi-
dence in British Columbia was clearly
established. The United States Commits
sioner had ordered his deportation to China.
The Judge decided to hold Lee as q wit
ness in the Baird-Poor shooting case, and
he was placed under $500 bonds and
allowed to return to British Columbia. In
summing up the case Judge Hanford stated
that in future he would interpret the
phrase ito the country from whence they
came" with the greatest latitude. ''In the
present case" said the Judge, 81 think
British Columbia is the place meant by the
phrase, and | will Issue a writ of deporta-
tion to that place when the witness is no
longer wanted, and will hereafter do the
same with other similar cases which come
before me-"

Inquiry at Mount Calvary Cemetery elic-
tied the statement that no new monuments
are going up there. The reason is that most
of the interments of members of the Catholic
Church are now being made in Holy Cross
Cemetery, San MateO County, and as the
removal of Calvary Cemetery is merely
question of time, the church naturally dis
cUurages the erection OF tributes which must
soon be removed, and which, in any case,
VIII be source of greatly increased ex-
pense. 1t is on this account that, with the
single exception of Laurel Hill, all the city
cemeteries are going through an era of stag
nation in the monument line.
Even in the Odd Fellows Cemetery very
few new monuments have been put up
within the past year. and in the City Gene
terry proper, on the heights above Bakers
Beach, the agitation at the last Legislature
for the condemnation of the property has
prevented the erection of any more of those
tributes which, as Shelley wrote, Stand

LINCOLN'S GENEROSITY.
He Provides an Impecunious Soldier
With Money for Tobacco.


With Money for Tobacco.
In the latter part of 1862 the One Hundred
ana Fifty-seventh Pennsylvania Volunteers
were stationed at Washington preparatory
to moving toward Richmond. For some
unknown reason their salaries had been de-
layed for two months, and the boys found
themselves strapped pretty closely for
money.
Among the members of Company D was
wild, harum-scatum sort of fellow, hailing
from Lancaster County. For about week
he had been without an ounce of tobacco.
From everybody he questioned he received
the same answer: Haven't an ounce.
Money all went a month ago."
The poor fellow endured the agony for a
while, but finally, become desperate, he got
leave Of absence from camp one morning
and started off up q street in the direction
of the White House. Arriving there he
stopped for while looking over the fence
into the grounds surrounding the Executive
Mansion. and presently caught sight of the
President walking along the path in front
OF the house. Just then bright idea struck
him. Mastering up his courage he stalked
into the. garden, and presently reared the
President.
Good morning, Mr.. President" he said,
touching his cap.
GOOD morning, nv man." replied 'Old
Abe; what can l do for you?'
The soldier hesitated for a while, but
noticing the Presidents kindly look finally
said:
THE fact of the matter is, Mr.. President,
we haven't had any money for two months
now, and every one of US is dead broke; and
I'm almost dead for chew of tobacco"
A smile lit up the face of the great war
President as lie received this information,
and then his hand went down into his noe,
ket. Drawing forth silver dollar. he
handed it to the broken" volunteer and
said:
1T shan't be said that one of my soldiers
died for the want Of some tobacco. 1 need
his services too much for that. Buy some
tobacco with this and think by the time it
is gone you will have received all the money
that is due you"
With gratfied "Thank you, MIR. Presi-
dent" the soldier lifted his cap and passed
quickly out of the grounds. The back salary
was paid shortly after the conference.-the
