The Man With Pretty Hands.
But, Poor Fellow, He Got One of Them
a Tight Place.

But, Poor Fellow, He Got One of Them I'm
Tight Place.
Tie last car on a bridge train the other
day was just comfortably filled and moving
from the Brooklyn side when / noticed
good looking, well dressed chap, but his
hands were the main feature. They were
long and slender, like real born lady's, and
he must have spent great deal of time on
his finger nails. .. aa ...IE.ff.a.
was still looking at his hands and think
ing how many women had envied him their
possession, when he gave his spring overcoat,
which he was carrying on his, arm, a flirt to
bring it partly across the legs of the man on
his right, and at the same time one of those
pretty hands was lost sight Of His neighbor
was big, sturdy citizen of middle age, who
had on eyeglasses and was reading paper,
and appeared oblivious of what was going on.
Was the young man with the pretty hands q
Pickpocket? He had an envelope in his left
hand and seemed to be trying hard to deciph-
er the address on it, but just the same saw
his right hand carefully moving under the
overcoat. / was certain now, but who OF us
is going to raise a row in such public place
unless to save his own watch or wallet?
wondered that the big man held his paper go
stitfly, and kept his eyes SO long on one spot,
and 1 half felt he ought to pay the penalty of
his carelessness. --F
We had just passed the piers on the New
York side when the big man dropped his left
hand, quietly seized upon something, and l
knew by the way he shut his teeth and flush
ed up that he was using all the muscles of his
hand and arm to grip something. Then
heard a cracking, crunchiDg sound, and
looked into the young mans face to find it
as white as flour, while he was biting his
lips as if to repress scream of pain. He
was lying back in half faint when the train
stopped, and the big man turned his head
and gave him one brief glance and passed
out
"Shall help you out Pr asked of the pref.
ty handed man.
"If you please" he quietly answered. =,

Likeness of Married Complies.

Resemblance between husband and wife
have often been noted, and have been ascrib-
ed to the influence exerted by each on the
other during many years of life together.
This explanation, however, does not satisfy
M. Hermann Fol- q careful French observer,
who is convinced that in q large number of
cases there is more or less striking similar
ity from the beginning, and who concludes
that in such cases marriageis due to qualities
possessed by the couple 10 common, not to
those in which they differ. The resemblance
in the many newly-marr:ed people visiting
Nice first drew his attention to the subject.
The curious phenomenon SO impressed him
that he obtained the photographs of 25l
couples for comparison, and he found re-
semblance between husband and wife in 132

SELFIS HNESs.

The utter selfshness of De Young Of the

the different newspapers Of the State that
one would naturally suppose his effort to
place one OF his crOnies-MaxWell-i sit

no person would support his preten-
sions. There are. however, two classes
Of persons who do not care to show

willing to swallow what De Young says we

De Young Is always after money, no matter
how dearly this money NAV cost the inhab-
itants of the State. In this Worlds Fair
business De Young was willing, provided
he could be well paid with patronage, to be-
tray the great interests Of the State. The

clincher regarding Walter 5. MaXwelPs Monte

JUSTICE FIELD HERE.
He VIII Organize the New Court of APP
peals on Tuesday.

Justice Field OF the United States SUI
preme Court arrived in this city from
Oregon yesterday and went to the Palace.
where he received large number of callers
during the afternoon.
To CALL reporter he said: ''My errand
here at this time is to establish the new
Court of Appeals, which was provided for
in all circuits by the recent Congress. The
object of this court, as you already know, is
TO relieve the Supreme Court. which is now
completely oYerburdened with work, and
under the new law the number of cases that
will reach the latter tribunal win be ex-
tremely limited. During the last term,
for instance, there were 1898 cases on
The calendar, and we disposed of
610 only. This great increase has
been caused by the changes which have
taken place in litigation, owing to the fact
that railroad and telegraph lines now extend
from State to State. These cases are now
clearly classified. and the Supreme Court,
which is fully three years behind, will be
given chance to catch up"
The Justice declined to enter into any ex-
tended discussion of the political outlook,
but expressed the opinion that MIR. CleYe-
lands attitude on the silver question seemed
to promise to create antagOnlsms that might
defeat him for the nomination. German Of
Maryland, he thought, was gaining in
strength and would be formidable candi-
date.
Justice Field will sit upon a case with
Judge Sawyer tomorrow and on Tuesday
will organize the new court

PooL-EoOIs IN OAKLAND.

Tomorrow evening the solid eight of the
Oakland City Council will decide whether
the pool-rooms which have been kicked out
of San Francisco are to find home in the
city across the bay. Gamblers are confident
that they will pass the ordinance over the
Mayors veto, and they may be right. The
pOol-rOom interest is large, and can afford to
pay literally for accommodation.
But it will be pretty serious matter for
property-owners in Oakland if that quiet,
welI-behaved city becomes hereafter a
gambling-hell for San Fran cisco. Oakland
has been built up by residents of this city
who have crossed the bay in search of a
quiet place to live in and orderly surrounds
ings. Under the influence of their demand
for homes real estate has risen in value,
neat cottages, handsome mansions and efe
CANT country houses have sprung up in
every direction, and the city has come to be
the resting place of some Of the best people
OF the State. In obedience to a general law,
San Francisco, the metropolis of the Coast,
has to house the bad with the good, the
knave with the honest man, the promoter OF
vice with the apostle of virtue. But Oak
land is under no such obligation. 1t can
drive vice out OF its borders and across the
bay. 1t can do as Brooklyn, n. Y, did
some years ago when it refused to listen to
the apologists for social evils ana babe
them cross the East River to a city where
they were perforce endured, for Brooklyn
would have none Of them.
The solid eight in the Oakland Council
now propose to reverse the action of the
Brooklyn Council and to give shelter TO re-
sorts Of vice which San Francisco will no
longer tolerate. If they succeed the char
acter Of the population of the sister city will
change. Gambling-hOuses will follow the
pool-rOOms and other haunts of vice and
crime will follow the gambling houses.
Oakland will become to San Francisco what
Baden used to be to Paris and Frankfort
the resort Of the deprayed. the diSsolute, the
knaYe and the cheat. It will become place
where no one WIN can help it will bring up
his children. No school will thrive there,
nor church, nor library, nor literary nor ar
tistic Institution. When the gambler lays
hands on a city he mOnopOliZes it. lie
elbows every one else out, for no one can
endure his proximity. lie makes his title
good by defling the spot where he pitches
his tent.
II is for the owners of property in Oak
laad to decide whether this future for their
city suits their purposes. 1t is idle to say
that they are powerless to defeat the solid
eight. They are, on the contrary, omnipo-
tent. No man in Office dares to destroy his
neighbours property for a personal bride /;
the reins of justice hang too loosely for that.
1t is the conviction of the gamblers that
at the bottom the citizens of Oakland are
Indifferent on the pool-room question which
emboldens the solid eight to hold their pres
ent position. Ii they were satisfied that the
conviction is erroneous they would Tecede
from its consequence quickly enough.

SELLING SOCIAL POSITION.

The Scottish Leader says that Arthur
Wilson, at whose house the famous games
Of baccarat were played, recently loaned
the Prince of Wales S1,OO0.OO0. The Wilson
family are new people. 1t was said during
the trial that eight years ago Mr.. Wilson
was engaged in selling Government stamps.
How family so new should be favored by
a visit from the Prince of Wales may posi-
bly, be surmised in view of the relations the
necessities Of the Prince compelled him to
form with the head of the house. This is
not the first time the Prince has been
charged with exchanging social position for
money. The exchange can be justified on
commercial principles. The Prince was
parting with something he had a surplus of
for something he much needed. How the
people who have given him such an exalted
place in the social world win relish the use
he makes OF it remains to be seen.

THE CONGO TREATY.

The European powers have renewed their
appeal to the Government at Washington
on behalf of the Congo treaty. This treaty,
Cd the face Of il, appears harmless instru-
ment. 1t binds the powers which sign it to
help suppress the slave trade, and not to sell
breecE loading firearms or spirituous liquors
TO the inhabitants OF Congo State. There is
no reason in the world why the United
States should not agree to place these Iimita-
tons upon the free action of their citizens.
But the treaty inferentially and coIateT-
ally recognizes a number of territorial az
rangements in Africa as to which it is not
best that the United States Government
should commit itself The whole of that
great continent is being parceled out between
Great Britain, France. Germany. Portugal
Italy and Belgium. The title Of the parcel
ing powers rests simply on force. Not one
OF them has a right, under the rules of mod
ern international law. to a foot Of African
land Il is no part Of our business to pro-
test against their action; we have no more
right in Africa than they. But it is going
out OF our proper province for US. even i'm
pliedly, TO indOTSe the course they see fit to
pursue, o. to say or do anything which might
be construed as a recognition on our part Of
the territorial claims which they are assert
ing. 1t is not our fight and We had best
keep out Of it.
The occupation by a civilized power
of territory which is uninbabited or which
is inhabited by a mOribund race is one
thing, the occupation by the same
power OF territory which is fully in
habited by races With every prospect of
vitality is quite another. The former
operation adds to the productive area OF the
world, and extends civilization and CON-
nlerce. The latter is bound 10 lead sooner
or later 10 contest for domination between
the original occupants of the country and
the invaders, with normal chances in favor
Of the success Of the natives. 1t may be-
come the United States to welcome the
colon iZation of desert islands by Germany OF
Great Britain. No bad results may flow
from such operations, and they may be gen.
orally beneficial. Bat when those powers
invade densely peopled continent like
Africa, and proceed to establish satr apies
on the ruins Of native governments, it is
easy TO fOresee trouble in the future, possibly
eliminating IN bloody wars.
The course Of these enterprises is simple
and uniform. A civilized power with modern
weapons and scientific skill asSails horde

RUvaH ON DE YOUNG.

The local directory Of the Worlds Fair
evidently does not hold NJ. II. de Young in
high esteem. The directory appointed a
committee to examine charges that had been
made against De Young's candidate, Max
well, and accepted the committees report
sslat there was ne truth in them. But when
- }lreCtVI7 GaIuv ~ vOUe on MAXWELL
continuation they decided against him by
q vote Of p to S. Then, as if to convince
the public that there was DO truth in Com
missioner de IOung's assertion that Max
we'll was opposed because he is a Califur-
MAN, the DirectOr-General nominated Gen
eral y 2. Chapman to the Office MaxwelFs
rejection had made vacant General Chapman
was at once confirmed by the directory,
but it is said that the Board of Control,
which had accepted Maxwell, will search
for some cause for the rejection Of Chip
man. The Chicago directory in effect de-
clared Maxwell a fit man for the position,
and in tie same breath withheld the position
from bin. Their object in so doing can
only be surmised. Maxwell was known
there as here as De Young's candidate. 1t
was apparently assumed that De Young had
an object in pushing his man into the place
for which General Chapman had been recon-
mended, ana that the object was one the
managers could not afford to promote,
Their action was in effect a declaration that
while Maxwell himself was not objection
able his principal hacker was.
We trust the Chronicle will now lend its
cheerful support to General Chapman.
While it is not probable that that journal
can effect anything either way it is well not
to Try. The people perceive plainly that the
course Of the Chronicle proprietor came
near losing the headshiD of the Horticult-
uTal Department to the State and are be-
coming impatient of such instances of self
seeking. The rul,-Or-ruln policy soon plays
itself cut. When a mans influence rests
upon apprehension Of the mischief he may
do if he is not allowed to have his own way,
the period Of decay may be said to have
already set in.
