"A LESSON FROM JAY GOULD.
His Method of Teaching Favor
ite Official to Paw His Debts.

AT the risk of running reputation for
veracity as yet in a fair state of repair,
the writer must recall an anecdOte of
Jay Gould. Mr.. GOuld'S personal charac-
teristics, in the language of Wall street,

home and conSiderate employer.
A favorite general officer of one of
Gould'S Western railroads was called to
New York few years ago and jumped
on by the Little Wizard as follows:
"They tell me you are broke and
don't pay your debts. What is the mat

The officer sputtered and stammered.

replied My family is large. rents are

''l'll see," SAID Gould, handing out
check for 81, 900. Take this over to
Connor and tell HIM to put it in the
market as he sees fit. Come back here
when he tells you"
The man obeyed. 1t was all exciting
day in Wabash, and he returned to
Gould with $4,000.

claimed Gould. "Don't do it again.
That's what alls you fellows who don't

"Where's that $1,000 lent you this
morning? 1t seems to be true that you

Detroit Tribune.
Two unusually pretty girls were they,
lazlly swinging in the hammock and gos
siping idly. A bright-featured oriole
swayed to and fro upon the topmost
bough above them, with now and then
a soft liquid note. An invisible katydid
emitted its rasping noise at loug inter-
walls. Otherwise it was perfectly still.
The girl with red shoes yawned.

she sighed, half petulantly.
The girl with green suspenders pom

The girl with green suspenders ele-

one of the CUiIiS ItobDerS Gets
Justice.
FRESNO, Cal. Oct 30.-Late last night
the jury in the case of George Sontag,
charged with robbery, brought i'll ver-
dict of guilty. Sontag is the brother of
John Sontag, who. with Chris Evans, is
fugitive from justice. who at various
times has killed three men and wounded
several i'll resisting the officers. George
Sontag is suspected of being the leader
i'll the robbery of the Southern PactIc
train at Coils last summer, and was
arrested on suspicion few days
after the robbery. He made no
resistance, but his brother John. and
Chris Evans, who were wanted on the
same charge, made the desperate fight,
and they are still at large. The state
legislature made train robbery capital
otfenSe, but the officers are afraid the
law might Ue declared unconstitutional,
and the jury only charged Sontag with
robbery. After the jury had returned a
verdict of guilty, Clark Moore, a friend
of Evans and SOntag, who was a wit
ness in the trial, was arrested on a
charge of being an accessory to murder.
He is accused of furnishing Evans and
John Sontag with firearms and with
food and giving the robbers information
about the movements of the pursuers
which led to the ambush at Sampson
flats and the killing of Marshal Wilson
and Deputy Sheriff McGanneSs.

FLOUR CITY CROOKS.
They Relieve Two Farmers, but
Get Very Little Money.

Get Very Little Money.
James FitZslmmonS is a farmer who
came to town Saturday to spend the
money he had accumulated by working
in the harvest fields of Minnesota. He
spent some of it in getting DRINK, and
while in that condition he became an OBJ
ject of interest to a number of young
thieves. Early yesterday morning they
lured him into an alley between Second
and Third avenues south. After hit
ting him on the head with some blunt
instrument and cutting a deep cash
over his left optic, they proceeded to go
through his pockets in search of silver.
They found little, but not enough TO
satisfy them, so they hit Fitzsimmons
again in order to force him to reveal
where he kept the bulk of his money.
The arrival of the police frightened
the thieves and they ran away leaving
FitZSimmons lying IN the alley. He
was taken to the central station and
placed in a cell to sober up. Later.
Officers Collins. Fleming and John
Ryan arrested three young fellows who
are supposed to be the ones who as
saulted FitZsimmons. They gave their
names at the station as Harry Moen, NJ.

about to secure his pocketbook, which
contained $3.50 in cash, when they dis
covered Officer Joe Ryan coming around
the corner. A chase ensued in which
the officer was distanced. In running

WOULDN'T BE CROSS.

Wouldn't be cross, dear, it's never worth
while;
Disarm the vexation by wearing smile.
Let hapa disaster, trouble, loss,
just meet the thing boldly and never be
cross.
I wouldn't be cross. dear, with people at
home;
They love you so fondly, whatever may come.
You may count on the kinsfolk around you
to stand
Oh, loyalty true in brotherly band!
SO, since the fine gold far exceedeth the
dross,
I wouldn't be cross dear, wouldn't be cross
l Wouldn't be cross with stranger. ah, no?
To the pilgrims we meet on the life path we
owe
This kindness, to give them good cheer as
they pass,
To clear out The flint stones and plant the
soft grass.
No. dear, with a stranger in trial OF loss
perchance might be silent, L wouldn't be
cross.
No bitterness sweetens. no sharpness may
heal,
The wound which the soul is too proud to
reveal,
No envy hath peace; by fret and jar
The beautiful work of your hands we may
mar.
Let happen what may, dear, of trouble and
loss
Iwouldn't be cross, lowell wouldn't be cross.

ADJUSTMENTS. A

The usual overflow house last night,
and good audience yesterday after
noon, greeted "Jerry'' at the Bijou.
This is the first production of the piece
in this city. In many particulars the
play is most creditable. 1t is entirely
made up of the conventional ideas
of the drama. The contrasts nec-
essary to interest stand out in bold
reliet, the villain is punished, the prop
erty is saved, and the lovers marry.
That which is unusual. however, is the
treatment givin the leading role by a
most able and conscientious actor, j. W.
Summers. In his hands the best Iegiti-
mate comedy productions need not
suffer. He possesses the rare power of
delicate shading. His present play
will never approach classic. though

DESPERATE METHODS.
President and Secretary Consti-
tute the Anti-Todd Club.

tIlte the Anti 1 OQu CluD.
The Republicans of the Ninth. ward
are resorting to desperate measures.
They are like drowning men who cling
to straws. One Of the latest lodges is
to organize club called the Ant-Todd
clab. This club consists of presi-
dent and secretary. SO far as known
there are no ordinary members.
j. ). Todd is tie regular Democratic
nominee for alderman in the Ninth
WIId. and is pitted against the solicitor
for the 500 road for seat in the
council. Last Thursday the Anti-Todd
cluu Held IA meeting. There were pres
ent the president and secretary. and
these two unanimously decided 10 sup
port Bradish as against MI. Iodd. 1eS-
terday the German Democratic Haynes
Club of the Ninth Ward held meeting
in Kort's hall, corner of Spring and JET
ferson streets. There were 100 German
voters present. and the meeting was
very enthusiastic.
The adermanic situation was dis
cuSSed from all points, and 1t was unan-
imously decided not to support the
solicitor for the 500" road. A set of
resolutions was drawn up and signed
bv all present. The sentiment of these
resolutions was entirely in favor OF the
Democratic nominee, Mr.. Todd. Ihe
meeting went on record as being in IA
vor of Mr.. Todd for alderman, and
none other. Next Tuesday evening the
club will meet again at the same hall.
How do, the Minneapolis Republicans
who are firm believers in President
Harrison like the idea. of having Will
lam Henry Eustis get UP before them as
the ideal Republican. After harrison
was nominated last summer the Union
Leaguers thought the city where he
secured his nomination should ratify the
action of the convention. Eustls openly
fought that proposition. Ills enmlty Tor
and opposition to Harrison were so pro-
nounced that it was a question at one
time whether he would not bolt the
nomination of Harrison.
TheFlambeauclub members boast that
they nominated their president, Clayton
r. Cooley, for county auditor and die
tated nearly all the nominations on the
Republican county ticket. How does it
strike the oId-line Republicans to be
bossed by the boys who run the Flam-
beau club?
All the Democratic candidates on the
city county and congressional tickets
will meet this afternoon at Democratic
headquarters.
Wednesday will be the last day to
register. The last opportunity should
not be lost.
