4 CHEAP GOLD PIECE.
A SHARPER GETS 1T FOR A NICKEL
AND AN ENVELOPE.
A New Swindling Scheme Which Was
Successfully Worked by
Very Smooth Expert
Yesterday. .

Very ingenious schemes are worked
by the light-fngered gentry who make
Los Angeles headquarters at the present
time, and one of the most ingenious was
played yesterday afternoon, at Fowler &
Colwell's book store, No. Ill West Sec
ond street.
An everyday-looking young man en-
tered the store and advancing with an
assured step to the counter, asked Mr..
Fowler if he would kindly give him a
So gold piece for silver. He had an en-
velope in his hand, whice bore the
inscription, "Mrs. Annie Woodward,
Cleveland. Ohio"

ne remarked, with an engaging smile.
ga lady asked me to get the gold piece. Z"
The envelope had a Columbian stamp
upon it, and the young man deposited
some silver upon the counter, indulging
in some general pleasantries in the mean
time, while he still held the envelope in
his hand.
The bookstore man went to the
drawer and took out five-doilar gold
piece, which he gave to the young fell
low, who Immediately proceeded to slip
it into the letter and seal it up, licking
it with considerable JUNCTION.
Mr.. Fowler picked up the silver
money and counted it over. He found
that the money amounted to only $3.50.
There were four silver dollars and come
change. He called the attention of the
man to the shortage, when he displayed
some confusion and said that he thought
he had given him the correct amount.
There was an interchange of a remark
or two, when the fellow said that he
would leave the envelope there and go
across the street, where the lady was
waiting, and get the 20 cents. He put
the envelope on the counter, and,
gathering the money in his hand, walked
out of the store.
The book store man waited and
waited, but his visitor did not return,
finally the fact dawned upon him that
ne had been made the victim OF plaus-
ible scoundrel. He picked up the let
ter and saw that it contained what
seemed to be $5 gold piece, the i'm
preston having been very plainly made
on the envelope. After waiting some
little time longer, he opened the letter,
and found nothing but nickelin inside
and sheet OF blank paper. He notified
the police and they were looking for the
young during the afternoon, but failed
to find him. He secured $5 with very
little trouble, with the expenditure of a
nickel and a Columbian stamp.

There is a great deal OF visiting
amongst the Chinese during the holl-
oay, and they take advantage OF the
opportunity to exchange courtesies In
their peculiar fashion. AS they enter
the houses of neiehbors and acquain-
tances they have what seems to the
civilized man quaint fashion OF clasp
ing both hands and bowling three times,
almost to the ground. These motions
are not observed by the usual run OF
visitors, for the Chinese are somewhat
shy of going through their salaams be-
fore the coldly observant foreigner.

DIVORCE DAY.

Judge Van Dyke Grants Legal separa-
tion to Mr.. and Mrs. Tanzo1a.
Superior Judge Van Dyke yesterday
dismissed the divorce suit which Helen
Russell brought sometime ago against
her husband, Ernest ]. Russell. This
was done by the consent of all parties
and an order was made by the court an
nulling all orders pertaining to costs,
alimony, etc.. that were heretofore
made in the case. Mrs. Kussell's atter-
ney was allowed fee of $50, which the
plaintiff was directed to pay. 1t is un-
derstood that after Mrs. Russell COM
menced this suit for separation from
her husband she concluded she had
made mistake. At least she and Mr..
Russell patched up their differences and
now all is serene.
Judge Van Dyke while he was attend
ing to divorce matters, gave Rosa Tan
zola decree separating her from Zen
nora Tanzola. The ground for the seps-
ration was extreme cruelty, and the
defendant failing to appear in court his
wife got her decree by default.

Little Affair from Pico Heights Set
tied by = Justice.
Mrs. Frank Wilson, resident of Pico
Heights, was yesterday placed under
bonds to keep the peace, in the sum o
500, which she furnished.
1t seems that some of the neighbors
out on Pico Heights have been ind ulg
ing in something of neighborhood
scrap. Alber Froiss, little 6.year-old
lad had bothered Mrs. Wilson by taking
something that belonged to her boys.
The result was that Albert was spanked
by Mrs. Wilson. This made Albert'l
mother mad and she had Mrs. Wilson
arrested.
Justice Bartholomew, after hearing
all the story, placed Mrs. Wilson undei
light bonds to keep the peace, also Civ.

ANOTHER STEAM LINE.
The hessIeeries Maratime Boats
TO Call Here.

Melbourne, Nov. 23.-Comte de
Douville Maillefeu arrived in Bris-
bane on Monday, the object of his
visit being to study the possibilities
of making Brisbane the Australian
terminus of the Messageries Mari
times steamers and connecting them
with a line Of vessels to New Gale
donia and San Francisco. 1t is
understood the company will aban-
don the ports of call in the South
ern colonies, run their steamers via
Torres Straits to Brisbane, and ex-
tend the service from this port
across the Pacific to San Francisco,
calling at Noumea, Honolulu, and
probably Fiji. The Comte's in
quiries so far are altogether favora-
bic to the scheme, as he is much
impressed with the possibilities of
trade between Queensland and
France. 1t is believed that his re-
port cannot fail to have great infu-
ence in the settlement of a question
which has engaged the attention of
the Messageries Company for a con-
siderable time past. The Comte
strongly disfavors transportation,
and believes the practice will come
to an end at an early date.

Deceanber u, 1895.

Last week we published a
testimonial from Mr.. Noall,
regarding the practical work
ing of the Aermotor and it
brought US good fruit. Our
Hendry Breaking Plow has
been so we'll advertised during
the past year that it seems
unnecessary to devote much
space to keep it before the
public; the pillow sells itself.
But when such a recommen-
dation as the following, from
a man as we'll known as Mr..
Halstead of Waialua, comes to
Us, we feel that we can move
our peg up four notches in
giving it publicity. Mr.
Halstead says, under date of
November 90. 1898:
1.-The Hendry Breaker PlOW
which we purchased from you,
has given entire satisfaction
up to date. 1t has been in
constant use now for nearly
six weeks and has seen pretty
rough use. The field in which
we are blowing having heavy
manienie sod and being very
rocky, it has had a good test
as to strength and works won
derfully easy considering the
size of the plow, cutting a
clean smooth furrow and lay
ing the sod we'll over. | can
recommend your pillow as being
fully as good if not better than
other breakers we have ever
had in USE"
lie this was the only letter of
this character we had received,
we might not feel the pride in
our successful efforts to give
the public the best pillow in the
world, but we have a score of
them. Mr.. Halstead has had
a long experience in plows
and has tried many different
makes; if there are managers
who have not tried a Hendry
Breaker, perhaps the letter
printed above will induce him
to purchase one and save both
time and horse flesh. We have
them to cut II, IA and 16
inches, and no matter what
size you use it will require
from two to four horses or
mules less than it requires in
using any other make of break
er. If economy in your horses,
mules or oxen is to be consid-
ed this is a good way to do it.

CONSTITUTION, IDey were
undertaking an impracticable and
fatal measure; If they did not
know it, they were fools; but if
they did know it, and pledged
themselves to her for the sake of
position, intending to prevent her
action, then they were knaves of
more than average magnitude.
They were responsible for her tum-
BILE down the precipice.
An important element in the

she brands as lying knaves the

best acquainted with the actions of
all parties during those days of
January, and so best able to testify
for her. Colburn and Peterson are
the two men who were rushing
back and forth between the Palace,
the Government House, and W. O..
Smiths Office all Saturday after
noon. 1t is their testimony about
the early proceedings of the Com
mittee of Safety that is supposed
to be most damaging to the latter.
1t is they who tell what dishonor-
able proposals were made them by
Thurston. Colburn has figured
largely in American papers rs
clamorous witness in behalf of his
ex-royal mistress. And now she
turns upon her Jealous witness and
denounces him as chief traitor and
liar. There is no occasion to con-
trovert her estimate of her own
man, nor to try to mitigate the
force of her verdict against her own
chief witness. One may be content
to accept her undoubtedly we'll
founded opinion of him, and also
of Peterson, as we'll as of the other
two eminent statesmen, Parker and
Cornwell, who are known to figure
consp:cuously in Mr.. Blount's valu-
able collection of evidence against
Mr.. Stevens.
The whole story is useful as a
disclosure of what kind of timber
this queen was accustomed to build
cabinets out of. and what grade and
style of men she considered good
enough to run the Government of
Hawaii. Here is d set of men whom
she brands as towards, liars and
traitors. Yet they were the men of
her special choice, selected to man
age the affairs of the kingdom at
most critical period and under the
most perilous conditions, as she
herself recognized when she ordered
Wilson and Nowlein to be ready
against outbreak. For the sake of
having such servants she got the
Legislature to fire out the eminent
ly capable ministers who preceded
them. The former Cabinet were
all men of success in business
affairs, and all men thoroughly re-
lied upon in matters of private
trust. In the new Cabinet there
was not a single man to whom any
person of intelligence would confide
any important private trust what
ever. And the ex-queen now brands
them all as above described.
Such was the government by de-
generate Hawaiian royalty, from
which we have emerged. Such is
the monarchy that Mr.. Gresham
has threatened to replace over us.
If it is done it is highly probable
that it will be done only over
very large number of the dead
bodies of patriot Americans.
