A CRUEL CAPTAIN.
He Refused to Unite a Loving
Couple on a Ferry.BOat.

Captain Wilson of the Southern Pacific
Company is regarded as the most hard
hearted man on the bay of San Francisco.
On the last trip of the ferry steamer Pied
mont on Tuesday night a loving young
couple boarded the steamer to Oakland
after having purchased return tickets.
Neither of the loving pair had seen more
than sixteen summers, but that did not pre-
vent billing aud coolng like pair of turtle
doves all the way across, much TO the
amusement of the large crowd of passengers.
The couple went ashore at the Oakland
pier and walked around until the boat was
ready to return to this side, when the young
people again boarded the steamer. The
young man had evidently read glowing
accounts In the newspapers of love-lorn
couples Outwitting cruel parents and being
united IN matrinony by bold sea captain
on the brny dep. So this pair decided to
embrace the present opportunity and do
likewise, though 1t took the young woman
some time to pluck up enough courage to
ascend to the door of the pilot-house, where
Captain Wilson was standing steering the
big steamer across the baY
The captain grinned as the pair entered
| the pilot-house. but when the youth, who
| had no sign of hair on his face, presented
| his blushng sweetheart to the captain and
| requested that he anchor the steamer long
enough to marry them, Wilson was so
| taken aback that he almost ran the Pied
| mont ashore on Goat Island. The old sea-
dog recovered sufficiently to tell the lovesick
! pair to sit down, and then inquired their
names. The would-be bridegroom said his
name was Thomas McCaffery and that he
| had worked Mt the fruit stand in the depot
! for Mr.. Davis. She said her name was Ada.
! but would not give either surname or resi-
| dence, declaring that she Is IS years old,
although she did not appear to be more
| than Is.
| Captain Wilson asked them if they had
| their parents permission in writing, which
| the young man confessed they did not have,
| and the hard-hearted sailor refused to ac-
cede to their request, in spite of her earnest
entreaty that she be united to Tom without
further ceremony. When the boat reached
this side of the bay the captain took the
pair ashore and giving them nickel each.

permission. at the same time advising the

The Boycott Question Discussed by the
Council.
Some five weeks ago the Federated Coun-
Gil at the request Of the delegates Of the
Shoemakers' League ordered boycott
against a boot and shoe factory. There
IS provision in the councils consti-
tuition that requires every boycott ordered
TO be Endorsed by tlTee-fourths vote of the
body asking for such action. The league
members were not unanimous on the sub
iect, as some Of them we're employees of the
factory, and al each league meeting for
three weeks the necessary Endorsement was
refused. Last night the Executive Com
mittee OF the council met the Shoemakers'
League 10 come to final solution of the

A Confession:-One of our Sunday pa
papers contains what was evidently in
tended to be, revelation of some of the
things which happened in connection
with the burglary at ThompsoD's store
several nights ago. The writer signs
himself ben There and from the
tenor of his communication, he must
have had hand in the turkey steal
ing in certain quarters just before and
after Thanksgiving. Only one who was
present when the store was broken open,
could have known the several things
which this man communicates, through
the newspapers. No doubt Thompson's
''cheese" had much to do in quickening
his conscience, so that he should dis
close what before had been involved in
mystery. We have heard of the purging
qualities of this cheese" before, and be-
sides its effect upon the physical man,
its salutary power may be able to in
tluence his spiritual constitution so as to
make thief confess his sins. Keep that
cheese Thompson "on draught." What
that in connection with Whipple's old
price MARKS" are unable to do, be as
sured no States prison or other re-
formatory institution in the world will
accomplish our County Jail a
means of reform ?-One who lately was
sent there, from certain neighborhood
in town, for few days, on account of
some alleged misdemeanor, returns
mach improved in appearance, and af
firms that his reform is entirely due to
the fact that his associations in Jail were
much better than those to which he had
been accustomed at home. AS soon as
he can adjust his somewhat complicated
affairs, he contemplates moving from
the State. After all, if our county Jail
serve no other purpose, it may be a
ms dSinOrum for some of our would-be
formers.
