TRICKY POSIhASI[RS.
How They Swell Their Incomes at The
Governments Expense.
THE PEOPLE ARE VERY CUTE TOO.
They Indulge to some Extent In Petty
scheming to Curtaii Their Postal Ex-

Appointed.

WASHINGTON, July 12.-The postmaster
general has been obliged to call the atten-
tion of postmasters everywhere to the rules
of the department about underpaid letters.
The practice OF sending heavy letters
stamped with only one unit Of postage has
increased among the general public very
largely within few years. The rule in
such cases is that the letter shall be for
warded, but the postmaster at whose Of
flee 1t il mailed is expected to note the
overweight and rate It up''--thatis, mark
the amount due on IL so that the postmas-
ter at the receiving Office, who Is not ex-
pected to scrutinize with great care the
mail matter he distributes. will discover
the shortage promptly and collect it of
the addressed
Not few patrons Of the mails, who pass
large packets back and forth regularly,
take advantage of the chance which always
exists that the postmasters at both ends OF
the line will not notice the deficit and put
on a single letter stamp. IL they are COM
PEELED to pay the balance, no harm In done;
II not, they are so much the richer.

SOMETHING FOR NOTHING

Should anybody come to you and
whisper "I've scheme
For getting cash, hand over fist, an
endless, golden stream"
And add, "I'll let you in on this"'
why, then, if you are wise,
You'll spurn the bait and never try TO
grab the golden prize;
For he's got string tied to 1t,
Or, of course, he wouldn't do 1T;
He il sure to work the raZZle-daZZle
after a while;
So distrust the souls who offer,
Cause it's you, to fill your Golfer,
For the men with gold to give away
have all gone out of style.
When anybody smiles on you and
warmly shakes your hand,
And shows depth of friendship 1t Is
hard to understand,
And doesn't seem to have JOY but
what he'd have you share;
Now. such heart may be all right,
but-iust the same, beware!
For he's got string tied to IT.,
OR, perchance, he wouldn't do it.
Won have got to pay the price-aught
else is a delusive hope;
And here's thought to ponder;
AS about the world you wander
that's worth the having's
always anchored to rope.

demeanor Charge. -
John Grogan, the young man who was
charged with an assault with deadly
weapon with intent to murder, upon the
person of one Tim Maioney. at Billy
Young 9 saloon, in this city, was brought
into Judge Seaman's court yesterday for
examination. He was accompanied by
his attorney Walter Ferral, the same
attorney who defended Carrie Jones, who
was charged with grand larceny and had
her discharged on Thursday last. Mr..
FerrRl had all the witnesses sworn and
placed under the rule, and then had
them excluded from the court room
The prosecution then put in their case,
and each witness was put through a
rapid and rigid cross-examination by
the prisoner'e counsel. Then when
court convened again at O'Clock, the
deputy district attorney stated that he
doubted the sufficiency Of the evidence
to sustain the charge Of assault with q
deadly weapon with intent to commit
murder, and withdrew the complaint,
filing new one charging simple mis-.
demeanor. battery. To this charge
Grogan pleaded guilty and the court
will pass sentence on Monday morning

HIS JAG WAS TOO LARGE.
THE DOWNFALL or A CORONADO
JUSTICE OF THE PEACE.
Edgar Fleming, the AIcalds OF the
Island Resort, Charged with
Passing Bogus checks
for watches.

1t appears that Edgar Fleming, who
WAC arrested in this city last week for
obtaining two watches from second
hand goods dealer named Myer, by
means Of false representations, ia q jus.
tice Of the peace at Coronado Beach.
Fleming gave Myer three checks which
proved TO be worthless. The justice has
not confined his operations to Los An
geles. Inquiries concerning him have
been received from Chief of Police
Brenning OF San Diego, who states that
he passed two worthless checks on mer-
chants Of that city. One of the docu-
ments was given to a gentleman named
j. 8. Mum ford, and was for the sum
OF 500.
The San Diego people, however, have
decided not to prosecute and Fleming
will only have to answer for ofenses
committed in this city.
Mrs. DR.. Fleming is heartbroken over
the affair. She Gays that at times her
husband will drink until he becomes
crazy and not responsible for bis actions.
When Fleming was arrested he told a
deputy sheriff that he had been in q
state OF intoxication bordering upon
madness, and had no idea OF what he
had been doing. The three checks he
indorsed were given him by other par
ties. Myer asked him to buy the
watches, and he did so, giving him the
checks in exchange. The amount called
for by the checks was in excess of the
cost OF the watches, and he told Myer to
keep it for him until he called for it, as
he was afraid he might lose it. Myer
kept the money, and when he called for
it few days afterwards Myer had him
arrested.
Fleming said that ii he had not been
80 drunk he would never have bought
the watches, which he had no use for.
The defendant's examination hss been
set for June 2Sth by Justice Seaman.
