SON LOY'S BRIBE.
An Attempt Made to Save His
Seized Tobacco.

Son 10y, a dealer in opium, who holds
forth in an elegant establishment at 70e
jackson street, is in mourning The cause
is his loss by confscation OF about $500
worth Of unstamped tobacco and cigarettes
For several days the Internal Revenue
inspectors have noticed that wen shee''
was being taken into the place, and a raid
was organized for yesterday afternoon. In
spectOr B. II. Thomas and Deputy Collec-
tors Jones and Borland. the latter of Mar
tinez, made up the raiding party. They de-
scended on the place like the swoop of an
eagle, and more surprised party Of Chi
nese was never seen.
On the ground floor. stored away under
counters, we're found 10000 unstamped
cigarettes, and hidden in room farther in
the rear thousand pounds of tobacco
upon which the revenue tax mad not been
paid. But the mares nest had not yet been

Approaching inspector Thomas Son 10y
offered him the drinks, then 81 which
sum he gradually raised until he had
reached $40. Thomas read the Chinese
the not act, telling them how they had
made themselves liable. They were then
profuse in their apologies. The Inspectors
by that time had penetrated the rooms
above, and found paraphernalia of all
kinds. There were in stock 100 tobacco
knives. The Chinese were not willing to
lose even the time it would take to sharpen
the knives, and kept large quantity in
stock There were also presses and costly
cutters, all of which, with the cigarettes
and tobacco, were seiZei.
Besides the payment of taxes, which had
been eyaded, the Chinese proprietor should
have had at least 5000 bonds, $1,000 of
which would be to guard against violation
OF the requirement of law that ensures the
cutting OF stamped tobacco for cigarettes
and 5000 each on the two cutting ma
chimes. There were no arrests

MISS BOLTE CONVICTED.
She Was Cruel to a Little Girl in Her
Private school.

Private School
The trial Of Miss Jeanne Bolte, charged
with cruelty to child, was concluded in
Department of the Police Court yester-
day. Miss Bolte keeps school for the care
of children at 2422 Buchanan street, and she
was arrested for beating little Cece Daniels,
aged years.
She took the stand and testified in her
own behalf. saying that she was strict with
the child, but had never beaten her so as to
bruse her. All the bruises on the girls
body had been caused by falling from a
tricycle. which she had furnished for the
scholars TO ride upon.
a cut on Cecile's face, the teacher ex-
planned, was the result of her having been
thrown down while riding around in the
bus used to send around the city daily to
collect the pupils. During her cross-exami-
nation Miss Bolte admitted that she had
slapped the child several times with the
back OF wire hair brush
Several teachers and pupils at the school
testified that the defendant had always been
very kind TO the scholars, and had been seen
to slap Cecile once; but Judge Worley did
not take kindly to the defendants story and
SAID that the charge against her had been
sustained. He ordered her to appear for
sentence TODAY.

Become Delinquent.
lax Collector O'Brien is again bestirring
himself to prevent the poorer classes of tax,
payers from becoming delinquent aud being
obliged to suffer the very heavy penalty of
10 per cent imposed by the new revenue law.
The taxes now remaining unpaid are mostly

James ID. Phelan's Experience in the Ma
tional Guard.
Apropos Of James d. Phelan's hopes for
advancement in the National Guard it is
related that at Camp Waterman in 1890, Mr..
Phelan, who was Major on General CUT
ting's staff, was on one occasion detailed as
Officer of the Day. Lieutenant Evans of
the Signal Corps hurried up, saluted and
said: Major, we want the key of the can
non at once to fire the morning gun"
The Major peremptorily summoned his
orderly. Where is that key Of the cannon
| gave you?" he inquired.
The orderly tumbled at once to the practi-
cal joke. which is only played on very
fresh recruits, and replied that he had re-
turned the key to the Major.
Thereupon Major Phelan hastily turned
out the contents of his pockets, and not find
ing the object of his search repaired to his
tent to see if the misplaced key was in his
kit. He was still looking for 1t when the
gun was fired.
After the joke had been carefully. ex-
planned to him the Major opened champagne
for the crowd. He has been a civilian ever
since

WHO WE'RE THE WOMEN g?
Curious Story About a Shooting ARRAY
Near the Park.

Near the Park.
Policeman Thomas Langford says that
there was a shooting ARRAY on Monday
night at the corner of Clay street and First
avenue. He was ascending the steps of his
residence when he heard five shots fired in
rapid succession. From a witness to the
shooting he learned that a woman and
small boy were coming from the park in a
buggy when they met man and woman
In another buggy coming from the Pre-
sidio reservation. The woman with the
boy fired five shots, and the woman in the
other buggy jumped out and ran to the
sidewalk. Langf0rd says he PURSUED the
shooter, but she escaped by driving into the
reservation. When he returned he could
find no trace of the occupants of the other
vehicle. Although 1t is thought that the
object Of the fusilade was wounded, no
trace Of her has yet been discovered.

THOUGHTS THAT ERE rHuSK.


I have Just been n thinking
Aud wondering how 10 could he,
over across the waters.
Where seemingly things are not 30 free.
or why the royal family
Would try to ch. Ht 80 plain,
And then kick up great big fuss,
over their title game.
OR how u l. where royalty II all the 90,
And W herr the strides of the people,
Seem - uull and very slow.
or Why they squirm and squeal,
And howl and want To feel
Our nation aud her brain,
The line Of our cast,
Our seals aud our Blaine.
or how 10 IL they don't
Drown themselves In the sea.
Bow their heads and bend their knee,
And save themselves from shame.
Or learn the way OF broad gagged men,
Their nation and It's worth;
Or play their game In Jack pot style,
And hold up their royal birth;
or strike In a way that will gain the day,
And carry on the whole big earth.
or why they don't make play,
Where somebody else don't have the say.
And do up things ia be ter style.
or WHY they don't get enough
And take down the stuff,
Aud not get of
On n great big blum.
