it. Start at once by

this rental would buy a farm here.

Don't delay this until next year, as

PAID HER BILL.
The Countess Remembered
the Palace.
But She Forgot to Settle a Little
Jewelry Account Before Leaving
San Francisco.

The newspaper notoriety which the fair
and fascinating Viscountess d'Henrlot,
otherwise Miss Vesta D. Hastings, has
gained during the last week or so has evil
IDENTIFY palled upon her.
She decided to start 10 afresh elsewhere.
and if for no other purpose than that of
giving some Eastern journalistic sleuthhound
chance to discover her and unfold her
deep laid schemes to the cold glare of the
world. she concluded to honor the Eastern
States with her distinguished presence.
A lot has been said about this young
woman. although the major part remains
yet to be proved. STILL up TO date, the most
bitter OF those who devoted their energies
to bounding her down could not show that
she had swindled any starving tradesmen or
skipped out without paying her bills In
fact the whole evidence went to show that
she had cash In plenty and spent it right
royalty about town, buying none but the
best anu paying the most extravagant prices
Some time ago she purchased from
well-known stoEe some articles OF jewelry,
and directed thai the bill be sent in the
usual manner TO her apartments in the
Palace.
She seems to have overlooked such a
trlhlng amount as Sl29, and forgot 10 send
the cash.
The firm put the bill into the hands of

be received no reply, and, when he effected
an entrance, found that the Countess had
gone and, like the baseless fabric of
dream" left not trace behind The rooms
were as empty as the day she entered them.
Miss Hastings had paid her bill in full al
the Office early in the morning. and LETT the
hotel without owing cent, as she has done
there on previous occasions.
1t Is not known that she has left ary ont
side bills owing and it is scarcely probable
that her sudden departure is made to escape
payment OF comparatively trifiing amount.
Her jewels alone which she wears are
worth probably fifty times the amount of
the account in question, and it has been
SHOWN that she has been receiving large and
regular remttances from abroad.
The Countess left town by the early train.

THE MEXICO BACK.
Panama Docks Are Full to
Overlooking.
ENCOURAGING COMPETITION.
The Isthmus Railroad Not Able to
Handle All the Freight
Foreign Goods This Way.

Two steamers arrived from Panama yes
terday-the Mexico and Acapulco.
One brought all that she could possibly
carry, while the other was 700 tons short of
her registered capacity.
The Mexico of the North American Navi-
cation Company was delayed at Panama on
account of the immense amount of freight
piled on that city's docks, which caused
one of these structures to sink.
The Acapulco OF the Pacific Mail line
brought two or three hundred tons more
than the San Bias of the same company.
which arrived day before yesterday, and
the two vessels together did not bring as
much as the steamer Mexico, notwithstand-
ing that the Pacific Mail steamers stopped
at way ports and the Mexico did not
This is an object-lesson which speaks VOL
umes for the success of the opposition COM
pany.
The coffee season Is at It's height, and
there. is no reason why the Mail Com
pany's boats should not have come in
loaded to the water-line. But no; the crop
Is being saved for the new company to
carry. and it will make immediate prepara-
tlons to do so by putting on some more and
larger steamers.
The Panama Railroad could not carry all
the freight that was offering, consequently
are hIled to overfiowing.
AL nrst 1t was intended that the Mexico
would stop at way ports. but when it was
discovered that SO much freight was on
hand at Panama for transportation this
idea had to be abandoned.
The Acapulco sailed four DAYS ahead OF
the Mexico and stopped at all Central
American ports, but in spite of the fact
that coffee fairly loaded the piers at her
different stopping places she did not get
full cargo, for the reason that it was
thought the North AmericSn Navigation
Company,s steamer was soon to follow in
the AcapulcO's wake.
The Mexico made the run In 13 days and
hours. and would have accomplished the
trip in less time had she not been delayed
by head winds. which caused her to lay to
Tor some time off Cape st. Lucas.
At the office of the new steamship line
everything Is moving along smoothly.
one oil the eompany's employees said a
leading shipper stepped into the office the
other day and remarked, IL am not going
to ask you people for any more rates."
WHY" questioned the clerk, thinking a
ton.
Because | am going to ship via your
line without regard to rates made by the
railroad or Pacific Mall" answered the
dealer.
One significant showing is the number of
pany which have been received at the new
lines office with the North American Navi-
CATION Company substituted.
The best news which the Mexico brings is
tnat foreign goods are coming in quantities
via Panama, which shows that competition
and low rates are giving American vessels
chance TO carry what has heretofore been
transported in foreign bottoms.
The Mexico Will probably be substituted
by the Mackinaw.

Attorney Britton Arrested and Ac-
CuSed of Ingratitude.

w. W. Briton. attorney-at-law, was ar.
rested yesterday on two warrants charging
him with forgery, and both at the instance
of John T. Hill. capitalist. of 16 Geary
street.
Mr.. Hill states that he has had endless
trouble with Brittun. Possessed of large
means, Mr.. Hull had entrusted Britson with
the man agemeDt of a considerable amount
OF his real estate property. He has trusted
him implicitly and Brtton had had full
sway.
In June of last year Mr.. Hill states that
he discovered an amount of ST4 to be miss
ing from his accounts, which sum had been
duly collected by Britton. On taxing him
with misapproprlatng that sum Britton
confessed his wrong doing.
Then" says Mr.. Hill, II asked him SIS
that all? Brtton replied, 'On my honor.
yes. that is ALL And yet ! have positive
proof that five days afterward he COM
menced to steal again.

his trial until to-day, when the case was

covered that he has committed forgery in
that he has wilfully raised vouchers fnr
bills paid on my behalf. Hence the charges
/ have made"
Mr.. Hill states further that he has desirad
to give the young man every show possible
but that In spite OF repeated warnings he
has insisted on doing wrong He computes
the amount due him now a. several thou-
sand dollars
