A E-psrsr's Toys.

The recent discovery nj buckingham
Palace Of the dolls which Queen Victoria
dressed a. child has excited wonder
full degree Of interest. The French
especially have been struck with the
idea that this woman Of seventy-three,
covered with glory, Queen OF happy
England and Empress OF a peaceful
india" should again let her eyes rest
upon the toys with which she played
more than sixty years ago.
Curiously enough. Napoleon III, the
last Emperor Of the French, had an
army Of dolls, which. In many respects,
we're Ike those Of the Queen. Instead
OF shepherdcsses and sleeping beauties,
however, the dolls Of Napoleon Ill
were all soldiers, each one representing

Emperor of 1t, and caused a series Of
similar statuettes to be made, each

Napoleon III presently inquired. some.
what to the sculptor's CONSERVATION,
whether the clay models could moi be
colored. They would then, he added,
be quite perfect. After some difficulty,
this, also, was accomplished, and the
miniature regiment was pronounced
quite perfect"
The noble army Of imperial dolls was
not, however, destined to a long life,
and the work which Il had taken the
sculptor over ten years to complete was
almost entirely destroyed in single

Imperial, then child, was playing with

THE NEW COUNTY SCHEME.
Its Promoters Have Secured tho Data
TO Draft q Bill.

TACOMA, Dec. 1L-fSpecial. After a
month spent in going over the county
records. those interested in carving a new
county out Of King and Pierce counties,
have succeeded in obtaining the data
necessary to draft bill to be presented to
the legislature, praying for a new county.
an area the proposed new county will be
larger than what is left to Pierce county.
as fully half of the present county of
Pierce, including every inch of Mount
Rainier, 1t is proposed to place within
the boundaries Of the new county. Besides
about one-quarter of the area of King
county is TO be sliced off for the new
county, which as yet has no name unan-
imously settled upon 1t. Should the legis-
lature create county out of the south
eastern end of Pierce county and an adj
joining strip off King, the christening of
the new county will Immediately follow.
The figures now compiled show that the
proposed district will be self-supporting as
a county; that its value will be s., coo, Ol1:
and that at present the inhabitants Of it
are put to much inconvenience in trans
acting legal and county business either at
Seattle or Tacoma Also that taxes are
paid by said inhabitants for improvements
which benefit them il no way
All the property of the Northern Pacific
railroad now in Pierce county beyond
Alderton, and all of the company's prop
erty in King county would be comprised
within the new county's limits. This.
together with the coal and mineral de-
posits. leads the projectors OF the move
ment 10 believe in time they will have the
richest county in the state, not excepting
Pierce or King.
A fierce fight is anticipated both TO
secure the new county and also 10 prevent
its creation. Should it be created, there
will be several candidates for the county
seat, including orting. South Prairie.
Buckley and Enumclaw.

Mrs. Gen. Stoneman Made Correspond
ent in Brunson Case at Los Angeles.
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 11.-An Examiner
dispatch. referring to the suit for divorce
commenced in the superior court at Los
Angeles yesterday by Mrs. Brunson, wife
of Judge Arson Brunson. of that city,
says that there are three counts in the
complaint upon which the prayer for de-
cree is based. The first two are desertion
and extreme cruelty, while in the third
count Mrs. Mary o. II. Stoneman, wife of
Gen. George SLOVENIAN, ex-governor of
California, is named as correspondent.
Gen. Stoneman has not teen seen at his
residence in Los Angeles for over a year,
and few months ago he LEFT Los Angeles,
presumably for the East The cause of
his departure as we'll as his present where
abouts have been much of mystery.
Judge Brunson is q native of Portage
county, Ohio, and a man OF some wealth.
He came to California in 1864 and served
as Judge of the superior court of Los An
geles county from 1854 10 1887. Mrs.
Stoneman is an intellectual woman, over
40 years OF age. and retains much Of the
beauty that in her youth made her promi-
nent in the society circles of Baltimore.

A Seattle Boy Steals to Buy Food ana
II Sent to San Quentin.
Los ANGELES, Dec. 11.-[Special. l-John
Riley, boy 10 years old, who was raised
in Seattle and whose parents live there,
was sent to the penitentiary at San Quen-
tin few days ago by the criminal court
of this county upon plea Of guilty to q
charge of burglary. Riley was associated
in crime with William Hunter, aged 10,
and Charles Williams. aged 20. The boys
fell into each others company In San
Francisco and started south on tour in
search of work. They traraped along for
some time, finally striking job at 81
day. working on ditch at sumner. They
worked only three days, however, when,
not proving stout enough for the labor,
they were paid of and discharged. Then
they tramped on, picking up an odd job
here and there until they reached Los An
geles, where they still tried to get work.
The clothing of the trio commenced to
look pretty shabby by this time
and they did not present an ap-
pearance that would have made
the application for any other work than
hard labor Of some sort probable OF sue
cess. After wandering about town with
out securing any occupation for several
days, and getting pretty hungry, they
raped on the door of house occupied by
anegro one morning about 9 o'clock. with
the intention of begging come food. No
one was in the house at the time, so they
forced an entrance into the house and
searched for something to eat. They did
not find anything, but they got hold of
some old clothes, which they took off to
sell. Going to another house in the neigh
borhood, Williams and Hunter found that
vacant in the same way, entered it and
took some more clothes. The party was
en- route to dealer in secondhand cloth
ing when they were overhauled by the
police and placed under arrest.
The judge before whom they appeared,
without inquiring into the circumstances
of the rather unusual case before him,
upon their several pleas of guilty sem
fenced the boys to five years imprison-
ment each, Williams and Hunter getting.
a year each additional for the second
escapade.
The sentences are regarded as unduly
severe and the judge has been much
criticised by the press. 1t certainly seems,
in the light of the facts, that after the
boys have served year or so they have
good case for the governor pardon.
