WOMEN ARE FORGIVING.
Osculatory Scene at the City Prison
Last Night.

The saying that women are forgiving was ex-
emplfed in an emphatic manner in the CITY
Prison last night.
a week ago Lincoln Potter OF La Crosse,
Wis, was arrested by private detective and
booked at the City Prison, felony embezzle-
ment, en- route 10 Wisconsin" He married a
woman who intrusted HIM with $500 of her
money, with which he skipped. He made his
way TO this city and purchased the coed Will of
a saloon with his wifes money.
The VILE, on being notified of his arrest
started Immediately for this city, and called
upon Chief CTowley yesterday. She asked for
her husbands release. positively refusing to
make complaint against him, ana the chief
mad to consent, as he had no charge against
him.
Last night Mrs. Potter called at the Civ
Prison. and her truant hubby was taken from
his cell 10 the waitng-roOm in front of the
seTgeantS desk, where his wife was seated As
soon As she saw him she rushed at him. threw
her arms around his neck, and kissed him again
and again.

thence. Work of this nature cannot be
done instantly. Four years ago you re-
member how slowly the work moved then,
and you must remem Der that 1t Is not only
San Francisco that is suffering; it is all
the country. Some merchants here have
been barely making expenses, but L have
confidence in the business men of San
Francisco, and the point for US is to be pa
tent. No mistakes must be made. There
are many families in San Francisco who
would willingly give man meal Do
not go in too great numbers. And the po-
lice will not prevent you unless forced by
some crank. About the work: The first
thing is to get ii, no matter what it is.
The park belongs TO the public. and any
way of identifying the park would be a
boon to the city and the poor. One Of the
papers said there was enough work in San
Francisco to keep all the unemployed busy
for twenty years. We want to do this
work properly. Tomorrow there will be
meeting of the business men at the
Chamber of Commerce at P. n. There
some practical resolution will be taken.

Rev. DIR. Gibson SAID that tie preceding
speakers had stolen his thunder and

San Francisco should feel proud of its

hopelessness OF their lot. in spite of their
fruitless tramping after work for months
to be met only by rebuff after rebuff,

Apropos of the bank runa and the
foolishness of the masses n pretty
good story is told about the ingenu-
ity of a cashier in checking a run.
1t was in an iron mill town and the
depositOrs were in line and being
paid in silver dollars. The cashier
was a young Irishman. He sert the
janitor with bushel of silver dol
lars into 4 rear room where there was
Il stove, with instructions to cheat
them silver dollars red hot" They
were heated. and in that condition
handed out with ladle. The depos-
itors first grabbed the coin. then
kicked. But you'll have to take
them that way" said the cashier.

we can melt them, and if YOU won't
wait till they cool you'll have to take
them hot" The run was stopped.
