drawing long sigh Of relief, when the
door flew open with jerk, and Irene

Miss Merritt opened her eyes.
.sWhy, Irene, thought you must be

Irene was tall and shapely, with large
blue eyes, black hair growing low on her
brows. and very red cheeks. Her calico

on her coarse straw hat were faded in the

"Have you anything TO say why sentence
should not be passed upon you?" asked
acting Police Judge Campbell yesterday
morning of Mary Jane McAIlster, a gray
haired woman. who had been convicted of
vaGrancy.
For twenty years has Mary Jane been an
inmate of the City Prison. So she is quite
conversant with the law and its intricate
ways, more particularly its ways in the
Police Court.
Have l anything to say? Well. should

Handsome Clerk Charles H. J. Mcdonald

Mary Jane had more to say, but she was
not allowed to say it. Judge Campbell SEN
fenced her to six months imprisonment IN
the House of Correction.

Track Of Him Il Lost

Antoine Lorber, a well-known resident Of
Alameda and prominent Native Son, is
missing, and fears are entertained that he
his fallen victim to foul play
He resided in Alameda but had business
interests Ia Fresno. He travelled for the
Murietta Vineyard Company of that place.
and departed for Montreal last June to in
trOduce this years raisin crop in the mar
kets of Canada.
The last heard from him was on the 2Sth
Of July. He was then in Montreal and in
tended 10 leave for Hamilton, Ontario, and
was then going to Toronto. He CORE
spOnded regularly every week with his
father In Alameda and made daily reports
70 ID. W. Parkhurst. the manager of the
CONF any by which he was employed.
Since the 18th of July the father of the
missing man and ID. W. Parkhurst have
Hooded the East with telegraph queries con-
corning LOrbeTs Whereabouts, but no one
has seen or heard Of him. He left Montreal
on the day he said he would, and there all
trace Of rim was lost.
The only solution that has been made so
lar to the problem OF his mysterious dsap-
pearance ie that he has been murdered for
his vauables.
He had considerable money with him and
wore some costly jewelry.
There still remains a copsidera BILE deposit
to his credit In the Alameda Bank, and he
has some valuable property interests In
that city as we'll as in Fresno.
Several OF the leading Eastern and Cana
dian detective agencies have been directed
10 search for him, and il is probable thar a
large reward will be offered for him.
His accounts with the Murietia Vineyard
Company are all correct, in fact there is a
fair-siZed balance laid away TO his credit.
Lorber is prominent in Native Son circles
and was liked by every one.

hand now more than eighty sets Of dies
used in making this money.
The idea that the law exempliies is just
this: No one has right to do anything for
his own qualification which is going to cost
you or me dollar. Now, you or / or any
one might be deceived by one of these
tokens and accept it for genuine money. So
the law says that it shall not be made. 1t
does not seem likely that any one might be
deceived by the representation OF half
dollar in O newspaper cut But to make
that cut the newspapers must stereotype an
engraving and make in metal repr0duc-
sion of the coin. That would come under
the prohibition against the making of die

cation of the picture Is distinctly for

under the ban of the law. Among them

made in very good imitation of the money
of the United States. There was a dollar

Here is representation of a Cancelled post

to make that print the publisher had TO ell
grave the stamp and then the canceling de-
sign and print them separately on the card
in the two colors; so the stamp was printed
on the card in exact imitation of the United

CREDITORS WANT TO KNOW.
Searching for a Diminished
Estate.
Mrs. Reb,cca Mcmillan Isaves Property Worth
$4,000, but 1t Undergoes a ShriEkage
When 1t Appears in Court.

There are number of creditors who are
anxious to know where the estate of the
late Re becca Monihan has gone to-
During her lifetime she paid taxes on
several thousand dollars worth of personal
property. and her Insurance which was car
ried by prominent company, amounted to
$3.50.
Now all this estate has disappeared, and
Joseph MonihaD, the husband of the dead
woman, swears that her property amounts
to only $780,
There has been something very peculiar
in the handling of the entire case and Judge
Levy. before whom it comes for adjudica-
ton, will be requested to hold an investiga-
ton.
1t appears that Mrs. Monihan died June
9, 1891.
She conducted a saloon on the Ocean
road and another on Folsom street. near
Spear
After her death her husband continued
the business without going through the for
malty OF submitting the matter to the Pro-
bate Court
In December. 1891. he was brought to a
sense OF his duty in the matter upon
learning that the Public Administrator had
made application for letters OF administra-
ton in the matter.
+. Hirschler, wholesale wine-dealer,
had previously made application for the
same authority, but upon the Public Ad-
| ministrator making an appearance he
| yielded the right to MIN.
Both Hiischler and the Administrator In
| their applications claimed that the estate
| was valued at $4,000
Joseph Norman. the husband of the de-
ceased, then made his appearance. and laid
claim to the position Of administrator OF the
property.
He astonished the creditors of the estate
by alleging that the deceased woman's prop
eTty was worth only 500.
The creditors then set to work to investi-
gate what caused the vanishing of so much
property.
They claim now TO have discovered the
leak. and suits will be at once instituted to
have the property returned TO the estate so
the creditors can get their dues. A ID.
d'Ancona, the attorney at 402 Montgomery
street, has the matter in charge, and will
begin suit ON Monday on behalf of the cred
itors whom he represents.

Managing an Emperor.

Prince Bismarck told story the other
day of the battlefield of Koniggratz, says
the Pail Mall Gazette. The old Emperor
then King of Prussia, had exposed himself
and his staff to the enemy's FIRE, and would
not hear of retreating to safe distance
AT last Prince Bismarck rode up to him,
saying: las respon sible Minister | must
insist upon your Majssty's retreat 10 a safe
distance. If your Majesty were to be killed
the victory would he of no use to u.s." The
King saw the force of this and slowly re-
treated, but in his zeal returned again and
again to the front. when | noticed it."
Prince Bismarck went on. II only rose in
my saddle and looked at him. He under
stood perfectly and called out rather
angrily, Yes, am coming But we did not
get on fast enough, and at last l rode up
close to the King, took my foot out of the

energetic kick. Such a thing had never
before happened to the fat mare, but the
move was successful for she shot off in

Washington special to Pittsburg Dispatch
The attention of Chief Drummond of the
Secret Service of the Treasury Department
was directed few days ago to the pub
lished pictures in the Chicago newspapers
OF the design for the Columbian half dollars
He has taken under Amusement the ques-
ton whether the publication of these pic
lures Is a violation of the law against coun-
terfeiting In the case Of any of the ordi-
nary coins of the United States there would
be no doubt; but Mr. Drummond wanted
to give the law relating to the Columbian
coin spe cial examination.
At the time the new design for subsidiary
coins was adopted by the mint newspapers
were warned not to print pictures of them.
Many OF them did print these D ictures, and
the Chief OF the Secret Service simply gave
warning to them not to repeat the offense.
Ihere was no attempt TO prosecute them.
But some day test case will have to be
made as an example to other publishers.
The law Is broad enough to cover anything
almost. AT the time it was passed Senator
Edmunds said that the spirit Of the law
covered anything that would suggest coin
or piece of currency to the mind
People have no idea how easy it is to de-
ceive by counterfeit representations of coins
