A Realism.

"At last we are alone!"
1t was the man who spoke.
The woman trembied and lifted her
eyes to his face.
They were beautiful eyes, but they
we're tremulous eyes-eyes which
look out from q heart which is irreso-
lutte, fearful.
The echoes brought back. in
their invisible arms the sound, and
let it ripple out again until it struck
the walls once more and fell into the
vast void of silence.
A bat, disturbed by the unusual
activity, darted from a corner and
blindly dashed in eccentric convul-
sions about the dusty building.
Great ropes of cobwebs hung down
from the ceiling, and across the corner
of the room dead flies swung lightly
in the hammocks the spiders had fas.
tened there.
The dust rose in listless clouds from
the shock Of the heavy football, and
sank again, overcome by its own in
ertia.
Even the air was resting.
The spirit Of the desola.ion of d-s
olation seemed to pervade the place.
The woman looked fnr,ively around
upon her dim surroundings aud shiv
cred.
:Alone, I said" he erowled.
"Yes," she murmured.
A faint light struggled in through
the great windows in front, thick witt
dust.
sWhere are we?" she whispered
and shiv, red as the bat dashed int
her hair.
Listen" he replied foa se!y; wv

two national conventions next year.
Leading California politicians have
been in correspondence with the
committee men of other states

replies received are encouraging, and it
is now thought at least one can be Sc
cured for this city. Many of the dele
gates from beyond the Rocky mountains

tunity to visit California. Lead

that round-trip fare of $50 can be
secured, to include all points east. On
Saturday a conference was held between
Mayor Sanderson, M. H. De Young and
Edward Curtis, and it was decided that
the mayor should issue invitations to
leading Republicans and Democrats for a
meeting to be held on Wednesday eve.

SAN RAFAEL, CAL, Nov. 1.-Charles
Schmidt, confederate OF the notorious
Sidney Bell, was found dead in his cell
at San Quentin prison this morning.
Schmidt was brought to the prison
yesterday. Just before being photo
graphed he placed piece of folded
paper in his mouth, and then
took drink of water. 1t is
now believed the paper contained
morphine. He was then locked in a
cell and became unconscious. His cell
mates called the attention of Captain
Mclean to his condition, but he paid
no attention to them. They heard
Schmidt moaning throughout the night,
but could do nothing for him. In the
morning he was dead. The coroner's
jury met today, but adjourned to await
an analysis of the stomach.
The crime for which Schmidt was i'm
prisoned was a mysterious one. Over q
year ago Samuel Jacobson, prominent
young Hebrew, was shot late at night,
and killed. Before he died he claimed
he was attacked by two highwaymen
near his house, and resisting them,
the tall one shot him. Jacobson's g
story was disbelieved, however, and
number of sensational accounts have
been published, all agreeing, however,
that he was shot inside his house, either
by member of his family or by man
who was visiting one of his female rela-
tives.
After awhile three men were arrested,
Sidney Bell, Edward Campbell and
Charles Schmidt. 1t was abundantly
proved that they had all been
holding up belated pedestrians in the
city, and the first two agreed we'll with
Jacobson's description OF his murderers.
Campbell finally turned states evil
dence, and confessed that he and Bell
had held up Jacobson, who resisted, and
was shot by Bell. Schmidt was not
present at the shooting, but he testified
to many corroborative details.
Bell was convicted of murder in the
first degree and Campbell was set free.
Schmidt, however, was tried for other
robberies, convicted and sentenced
to San Quentin for fifteen years.
He then claimed that he had
been induced to swear against
Bell by the police, who promised to re-
ease him, and declared his testi-
nony all false, and that Bell was inno-
,ent. This brought out new crop of
romances in regard to Jacobson's MUIR
Ter. Bell has rich friends in the east
who are working hard to save his life.
The authorities disbelieved Schmidt's
confession OF perjury, and he was sent
70 San Quentin yesterday. He had
often said he would never remain there
alive, and has kept his word.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
Business Property at Beverly, Mass,
Consumed by Flames.

BEVERLY, Mass, Nov. 1.-The most
disastrous fire which ever gained head
way in this town today caused total
loss of nearly $200,000. 1t started in
large box factory on River street, owned
by Geo. II. Allen, of Lynn. The building
was seventy-ive feet square, set on piles
over the Danvers river. A high wind
prevailed. Salem, Peabody, Lynn and
Marblehead were called on for aid. The
flames leaped from the Allen building
to four-story wooden shoe factory
owned by Woodbury. Bros, and the
building was soon doomed. The fire
then caught a two-story wooden
dwelling across the street. Adjoin-
ing was three-story building
occupied by Woodbury. Bros. for the
storage of shoes and sole leather. This
building shared the fate of the others.
Showers of sparks fell on the freight
house and car shed of the Boston and
Maine railroad, and it was totally con-
sumed, together with five parlor cars.
At one time twenty tenement houses
and barns in the vicinity were on fire,
caused by sparks. The insurance is

told that unless she and her betrayer

They were escorted to the residence of a
