A YOUTHFUL SINNER
Now in Jail for Theft--He Stole
Costly Goods.

SSSNAJ OSSNS'
Detective James Bowen yestcr-
terday arrested Quincy Lang
worthy and James Abbott, two lit
tie white boys, aged l. years each,
and lodged them in the City pris-
on, on the charge of theft. This
morning the boys were questioned
and it was learned that Quincy
was the guilty one, and in COnse-
Quence, he was arraigned before
Justice Anton Adam, and Abbott
was the main witness for the state.
About one month ago Mrs. Fisk,
at the Emporium Millinery Par
lors, employed young Langworthy
to run errands and do little odds
and ends around her store. Since
that time she has been missing a
number Of articles, such as hats
and cloaks. She notified the city
detectives, who began to investi-
gate the case. Suspecting Lang
worthy, she discharged him three
days ago. The result Of the
investigation developed the
fact that Langworthy had
stolen six costly has. the
cheapest valued at S12, and two
cloaks. He would steal the articles
one by one and give them to little
boys on the street, who would sell
them at any price.
Langworthy is Of a good family,
but is one of the toughest char
acters in the city. He has been ar
rested on suspicion several times
and released on account of his age.

ROMANTIC WEDDING.
They Loved Since Childhood-Now
Happily Married.

| 1EeY Loved since CnllunOOu-NOW
Happily Married.
\ romantic marriage occurred
at the Alamo Baptist church Sun
day evening at O'clock. The pas
tor, Rev. r. P. Lucado, officiating.
The bride and groom were reared
in Bedford, Iowa, and had
been lovers from childhood.
About six years ago Mr..
James Dalison babe farewell
to his lady-love, and came out
west to seek his fortune, promising
her that he would return in few
years. He drifted from place to
place until about three years ago
he came to San Antonio, where he
has labOred hard at his trade,
stimulated by visions of the fair
one whom he had left behind, and
the thoughts of the happy day
when he should return to claim
her as his bride.
This fall was set as the time when
he should return, but the money
stringency came on, and it seemed
for awhile that he would have to
postpone it until another year, but
after studying over the matter and
being so grieved at the thought of
further delaying the marriage.
The happy idea of having her come
to him, came to his mind which
idea he fastened to make known
to her. She was delighted with
the plan and Immediately babe
adieu to loved ones at home and
started on the long journey all
alone to Join the man who through
all these years had never ceased to
love her. She arrived safe in this
city and was soon happily married.
The bride, nee Miss Rita Shind-
man, is quite handsome and has a
very sweet, intelligent face. The
groom is an industrious skilled
and will likely be sue
cessful.
The attendants were Mr.. Harry
Phelps and Miss Phillip, Mr.. Nc
Pharland and Miss Meisner, Mr.. |
Obaun and Miss Meisner, Mr.. |

Attempt to work an Ancient swindle
ON . Ticket Seller.
It has just leaked out that an attempt
was made few days ago to work the old
''flim-ham" game on Hiram p. Nadeau,
ticket agent at tho Onion depot, foot of
Columbia street, by two of the bunko gang.
About the time there was q rush of
people through the depot . thickset man
with heavy mustache came in and stood
near the ticket window a. if watching for
some one. In q few moments . young
man with boyish face and q small mus
tache walked rapidly up to the window
where Mr.. Nadeau stood, and, putting
down q $40 gold piece, asked for change in
silver. Mr.. Nadeau let the gold piece lay
in front of him while he took out the
silver, but no sooner did he put the $40 in
silver on the counter than the young man
with the boyish face swept in the gold
piece and pushed it with the silver back,
saying that he guessed he would take $50
gold piece if it was convenient.
Mr.. Nadeau looked at him in cool as
constituent and then remarked: "Young
man, that is . very ancient game; you had
better try it somewhere else"
As the young man went out his confed-
crate with the heavy mustache followed,
and serious conversation took place on
the corner. The last that was seen of
them at that time was when they were
consulting time table to see when tho
Vashon island boat came in.

Tennyson's "Crossing the Bar"
The Spectator.

Tennyson's 'Crossing the Barr
The Spectator.
There is phrase in the late Lord Ten
nyson's Crossing the Bar" the meaning
of which seems capable Of illustration
from another Of his poems. It is this:
Sunset and evening star,
And one clear call for met
What is this calf Now. II We turn to
the close of ''Enoch Arden" We find the
following passage:
Then the third night after this,
While Enoch slumber'd motionless and pale.
And Miriam watch'd and dosed at interysle
There c0ne % loud calling Of the SEQ
That eli the houses IN the haven rang.
He woke, he rose, he spread his arms abroad.
Crying with q loud voice. "A sail? sail!
/ am savedr and 90 fell back and spoke no
more.
In my edition ofthis poem for Macmil.
lan's English Classics' the meaning of
the italicized portion above is thus given,
and, may add, on the authority if not in
the words of Lord Tennyson himself:
A calling Of the sea-A term used in some
ports OF England for ground-swell. When
this occurs on Q MINDLESS night, the sound
not only echoes through the houses standiu0
near the beach, but IL often heard many miles
inland.
Enoch Arden is lying at the point of
death, and to the dying sailor comes the
zone clear call'' which Tennyson. looking
forward to his own death hour, represents.
in Crossing the Bar" as coming to him.
self. This explanation of the phrase is
obviously in harmony with the whole
imagery of the poem, and appears to me
to give point and significance to an other
wise somewhat vague expression.

NORTHERN PACIFIC TIME CARD

Important Changes and Improvements
In Passenger Train Schedules.
The new passenger train schedule of the
Northern Pacific railroad which goes into
effect on May l, make some important
changes in the service Of that line.
There will be two overland trains
each way daily. three each way between
Portland and Seattle and seven each way
between Seattle and Tacoma. Additional
trains will also be put on both branches of
the Lake Shore road.
The exact schedule has not vet been
fully elaborated, but enough is known to
make the times of leaving and arriving
about - follows: One Of the overland
trains will be . fast eight-car train,
making the run to St. Paul in about
sixty hours. and to Chicago in about
seventy-two hours, and will only stop at
the principal points en- route. A through
sleeper will be attached for Seattle. The
other transcontinental train will be . 49,
car train, stopping at all stations. The
fast train will leave Seattle about 5 .. m,
and the slower train about 10 p. M. and
both trains will also arrive in tbs evening
from s to II p. m.
The trains for Portland will leave at Ills
q. m. p. m. and 10 p. m, and arrive at
els p. m. 1880 2. m. and / a m. The
train leaving at Sis a. m. is q slow train,
which runs without change to Portland
via Olympia. and connects with tho
Southern Pacific. The other two con-
meet at Tacoma with the transconti-
mental trains for Portland, which do
not connect with the Southern Pacific.
The train from Portland, which connects
with the Southern Pacific will leave there
at $50 a. m. and arrive here at 6:l5 p. m.
The one which arrives here at 7:3O D. M.

.. m. and a. m. The running time of
two of the trains each way will be reduced
to one hour and twenty-five minutes.
The Lake Shore schedule will give a
double daily service to all points on the
Sumas branch As far north as Sedro. and
to all points on the Snoqualmie branch.
Trains will leave in the morning
for Sumas and North Bend and
arrive in the evening from these points.
Two other trains will leave in the evening
for Sedro and North Bend and ar
rive from those places in the fore
noon. This will enable people living
along the Lake Shore to come to Seattle in
the morning. do their shopping and re-
turn in the evening. or 10 come down in
the evening and go home mex; morning.

A Yssne wenan EnAs Her LIE q The
Fourth DolihoPato AtHampG

4 Young woman EnAs Her Life - the
Fourth Deliberate Attempt.
Lcrs Cohn, aged y years, committed
suicide in her room at her fathers resi-
dence, 907 Main street, last night about
midnight by taking strychnine. She had
mental disorder which produced
chronic desire to kill herself
During the evening Miss Cohn said that
she Was not feeling we'll and was going to
the drug store to get some medicine. She
returned In . while. and, bidding her
parents and sisters goodnight, retired
to her room. In . little while all were
startled to hear shrieks coming
from her room, and those who reached
there first heard her sobbing: Il have
taken poison; have taken poisonl"
She was still conscious. and her sister
Anna Immediately went for DR.. Titus and
then for DR.. johnson. but the latter de-
clined TO have anything 70 do with the
case.
She then went to the Windsor drug
store, at the corner of Jackson and South
Sixth streets. and learned that her sister
had bought the strychnine there.
She hurried home and found
DR.. Titus working to save her sisters life.
The poison had taken such effect, how
ever. that she died without showing any
sign of recovery.
Miss Cohn had q remarkable history for
attempted suicides. Two years ago last
May she took q dose of strychnine while
living on Rollin street, North Seattle, but
spilled more on the floor than she got
in her mouth, and thus gave the
doctor . chance to save her. Several
weeks ago she tried to kill herself at the
Abbott house. on Pike street. DR.. William
Jenner saved her, but subsequently gave
his opinion that her mental condition
would lead to another attempt. This
statement came true last Thursday even
ing. when she jumped off the dock at the
foot of Main street at low water and was
saved by Officer Sam Corbett.
Miss Cohn was q blonde rather good
looking, but has always been subject to
fits of dependency since childhood. She
came here with her parents three years
ago from California.
The coroner was notified at II O'Clock
and took charge of the remains. He fin
ished his investigation of the case at 2
O'Clock this morning, and officially an
nounced death due to strychnine taken
with suicidal intent. When asked about the
rumor that Miss Cohn killed herself be-
cause of unrequited love. he replied that
30 far as his opinion and information went
tho cause was an unbalanced mind.
