SANDBAGGED AND ROBBED,
Patti Carr Has a Very Costly
Experience.
The Robbers Cleverly Captured in
Short Order.
They Give Their Names as John Nc
Donald and George Oh
sen-Thoir Arraign-
ment.

Patrick Carr, resident at 226 Geary
'street, was sandbagged and relieved of
$40 early yesterday morning. The high
way robbers did their work neatly and
quickly.
They had placed sand in handker.
chief and tied it up. When they struck
Carr on the back of the neck the hand
kerchief tore in shreds and Carr IVES
severely bruised.
On recovering from the shock he noti-
fed the police. In less than three
hours Detective Benson captured the
robbers in the act of spending their i'll
gotten gains.
The night before Carr had met the
men in his rambles about town, and
they were together until late hour.
Carr was evidently "sized up" by the
garroters, for he had hardly gotten
home when he was attacked.
He furnished the officers with good
description OF the men, and still-hunt
was begun. Detective Benson found
where they had purchased some cloth
ing, and followed the clue. He found
his men on Commercial street, and at
once brought them to the police station.
A surprise was in store for the offic-
ers. The men gave their names as
John Mcdonald and George W. Olsen.
On making close search enough evil
dence was secured to send at least one
of the prisoners to the penitentiary for
an ordinary life time.
All but $5 of the stolen money was
found upon the smooth handed gentry.
But the surprise came in when gold
watch was emptied from Olsen's pocket.
The timepiece was stolen from w. r.
Gridley, resident OF Euclid avenue.
Mr.. Gridley is a carpenter. He was
constructing house at Garvanza some
time ago and had placed his vest near
by. On his return it was missing. The
authorities were notified. After several
weeks Olsen was arrested on suspicion
of having committed the theft, but as
the watch was not found upon him he
was released.
Olsen and Mcdonald are smooth look
ing individuals. Detective Benson GER
tainly deserves credit for placing the
crooks where they belong.
Later in the day both men were ar
raigned in Justice Austin's court. and
the date of preliminary examination Set
for tomorrow.

THE TEACHERS WARRANTS.


Condition of the SALARY and Common
School Funds.
The school teachers are not very cheer
full these days.
When they get their warrants there is
no money in the treasury to pay them,
and it is probable will not be for quite a
while.
1t is an i'll wind that blows nobody
any good, however, and the people who
discount the warrants are reaping the
harvest OF the famins in the salary fund.
There has been much talk among the
teachers about the situation of affairs,
and they think there should be some
way to pay their claims.
But the board OF education explain
that it is impossible at present. 1t is
true that the common school fund has q
surplus of $4,000, but if used in paying
teachers salaries it is claimed it will de-
plete that fund for other necessary ex-
penses.
1t is alse fact that there have been
so much discounting of warrants by
teachers that if this amount was trans
fefred to the teachers salary fund they
would not benefit by 1t, because it would
have to be paid out on the registered
warrants in the order they come, and
would all go to the banks and discount
ers for warrants already cashed, and
would do the teachers no good ON their
present warrants.
The teachers salary fund is now over
drawn about $35, 900, and there will not
be any state money in the fund probs-
bly, until next February, unless the state
superintendent apportions the funds to
the counties, which he has not yet done.
The teachers salary fund is made up
from the state epportionment fund and
cannot be used for any other purpose.

THE PARK COMMISSION.
New Plans for the westiake Park Ne
Boat House Examined.

New Plans for the Westiaks Park New
Boat House Examined.
The park commissioners met yesterday
at the mayors Office and had the plans
for new boat house and band stand at
Westlake park again under considera-
tion.
The commissioners have been puzzled
to make the location for the building in
just the right place and called on the
architects for new plans for building
upon the site of the present boat house.
These were presented at the meeting
yesterday by Mr.. Edelman, Mr.. Wilson
and Mr.. Todd and they explained their
designs.
The architects had brought che new
plans down upon q basis to fit the
amount of money in hand closer than
the other plans and they we're all three
very presentable edifices.
No action was taken at the meeting
upon the approval of the plans, but
they were taken under advieement.
Secretary Howard and the Buperin-
tendent were authorized to lease eight
acres OF land in Elysian park, Solano
cafion. to M. Manquez until April next,
for $40.
A shipment Of bulbs from Holland
was ordered shipped by freight instead
OF express from New York, extra care to
be used in shipping.
An old claim for the use of street
roller came up and action was deferred.
The city had rented the roller and it was
broken while in its possession. A former
commission paid the cost OF repairs, but
refused to allow anything for the rental
OF the roller. The claim is three years
old, and it was put over because Com
missioner Hubbell was not present, he
having been on the former commission.

HIS EAR BITTEN.

Two Boys Engage in an Ear Chewing

morning and demanded the arrest OF q
boy who had bitten her small sons ear
nearly off.
Little Horace CHM had been engaged
in CORY contest with neighbor boy,
neither of whom being over 10 years

ting in some very effectual work, for lit
tie Horace's ear was well nigh demol-

Dummer Kiah Trask, member Of the

keting committee, has distinguished
himself.
Yesterday the new demands approved
by the board, for Messrs. Trask, Patty
and Pepper, for their trip to San Fran
cisco and San Bernardino, were sent
down to Auditor Teale.
That gentlomanly city official with the
perpendicular spinality placed the de-
mands to one side and did not send them
back et once, being desirous of submit
ting them to his attorney before doing
/, his usual act of rejection.
These new demands, as Was stated in
yesterdays issue, are designed by the
board to meet the objections raised by
Judge Van Dyke when he sustained
Auditor Teale in his action in refusing
to number and record them.
But most singular disclosure appears
from the demands themselves with ref
erence to MIR. Traek.
Mr.. Patty and Pepper put in the same
items which were included in their or
iginal demands. The total amount Of
each is $4,000, and the items embrace
fare to San Francisco and back, hotel
bills, fare to San Bernardino insane asy-

cisely the same, the following being the

Less than u year has elapsed since the
death of the last French survivor of the
battle of Trafalgar, a triumph of British
naval skill and valor which stultifed the
projects of Napoleon the Great for the sub
jugation of this country and temporarily
obliterated the French navy from the list
of important factors in the problem of Eu-
ropean politics.
OF the many tremendous reverses suffered
on land and sea by the forces of France, un
der the regime of the first empire, four in
particular may be said to have permanently
affected the destinies of civilized mankind.
These were Nelson's supreme victory off
Cape Trafalgar, the Battle of the Nations"
hard by Leipsic, the tragical retreat from
Moscow" and that fateful encounter which
Byron Indignantly stigmatized as "the
crowning carnage, Waterloo"
Our own times have been so rife with
military achievements of the first moment
that those mighty war feats, although per
formed during the current century, seem as
far removed from men of the present day as
Blenheim and Families, or even Poitiers and
Agincourt. Yet there are veterans still Iv-
ing in half dozen European realms who
took part in the campaigns of 1S134-5, and
only few days ago, in a quiet Norfolk town
ship, an old soldier of the grand army
passed peacefully away, who had witnessed

dino to the western frontier of Poland, which
ensued upon the burning of Moscow and the
disastrous evacuation of central Russia by
the Napoleonic hosts.-London Telegraph.

A Story About California Legislature.

"Did you ever hear how the first legisla-
ture Of California came by its title of the
Legislature of Thousand Drinks?'" asked
George Hutton, Sacramento lawyer, at
the Lindell yesterday. I'VE had an old
fellow in the senate from Sacramento coun-
ty named Thomas Jefferson Green. He
liked drop of cognac about as well as any
man that ever lived. He brought with him
demiiohn of the stuff, which he placed
under the stairs of the statehouse, and
whenever he felt his thirst coming, which
was quite often, he would move that tho
senate adjourn and invite its IS members
out to have drink. His motions to ad-
journ always went through without oppo-
sition. After the legislature adjourned the
empty demijohn was found under IKE stairs,
and some wag hoisted it to the top of the
liberty pole, where it hung for nearly two
weeks, a mocking memorial of the 'Legis-
lature Of Thousand Drinks. '"-St. Louis

Hr. Labouchere on Premarital Love Versus
ConjugaI Common Sense.
The marriage Of the Duke Of York and
Princess May Is a very suitable one. As the
direct heir to the crown 1t Is obvious that
the dukes first duty is to have a son, all
the more as, IL he does not. the succession
would go into the Fife family. Princess
May Is pretty, and her manners are pleasing,
and IL is far more reasonable shat thefuture
queen should have been born and brought
up in England as an English girl than that
she should be imported from Germany. As
for her having been betrothed to the late
Duke Of Clarence, which has been urged as
an objection, there is nothing in it, for it
merely shows that it was thought a year
ago that she would be the best selection for
the son Of the Prince of Wales, who stood
In direct succession to the throne, and what
was true then is still true At that time
there was a good deal Of drivel written
about a love match. In the sense that the
two persons concerned liked each other, this
might have been correct. Probably, In this
sense, it Is correct now.
Princes and princesses are much like
most other people. All marriages are very
much matter Of haphazard. They often
commence by an attraction on one side or
the other, and this is termed love. Then
the SO called lovers marry without knowing
much Of each others character. In some
cases the marriage turns out well; in Others
not SO well. This depends rather upon
their feeling to each other after they have
lived some time together and got thor
oughly to know each other than upon the
attraction before marriage
Whether Mr.. Smith had married Mrs
Smith or whether he had married Mrs.
Jones and Mr.. Jones had married Mrs
Smith is mere detail, provided that Mr..

hit 1t off after marriage. This is not the
novelists' view of marriage, know With
them Miss Jones becomes heroine because
she insists upon marrying some Brown or
Robinson in defiance of common sense, in
stead Of Smith, who probably would have
made her far better husband. And this
silly nonsense passes current because the
novel always ends with the marriage and
never lets the reader know how it turns out.
