The Celebrated Lady Rider and Her
Famous Trained Horses.
The rain of Sunday night left the race
track in such muddy and slippery con-
diuon yesterday morning that Madame
Maranteue, the noted lady rider, was un-
able to give her exhibition in the fore
noon. but did so in the afternoon between
the races.
She first appeared mounted on her
beautiful dappled gray horse Evergreen,
which she rode up and down in front Of
the stand, showing his twelve distinct
galts. She then appeared in a light
buggy drawn by Woodlawn. a handsome
bSy, which showed six different paits.
Both animals are perfectly trained, and
obey every wish Of their mistress at the
word or touch OF the whip.
Following these exhibitions came the

horse OF the world, whose record is seven
feet four aud a half inches. She was ac-
companied by little boy on JuDiter the

at hight Of four feet, which is a oro0d
lump for ordinary horses, but it was onIv
play for Filemaker and his diminutive
companion.
Then additional bars were put up. each
six inches higher than the last, which
both horses leaped with ease until File
maker had cleared the 6-foot s-inch rail
and Jupiter the 5-foot one. Both riders

just like deer, all four feet being on

Mr. W. U. Masters Lectures on the
Postal Service.
Mr.. W. o. Masters spoke before the

and the Post" to an attentive audience.
His paper was an extensive treatise Of
the postal service, giving an interesting
account of this service in many coun-
tries, embracing in his remarks much
statistical information He gave
an elaborate account of the won
derful increase of the postal service
showing by figures that in 1850 the
business OF this department in the
United States was only in the hundred
thousand dollars, while in 1893 the
business amounted to over $4,000, 900.
The number OF employees were num-
bered in 1880 by the hundreds while to-.
day it consists OF an army of 100000.
The amount of money paid the railroads
the past few years reaches the enormous
sum of sos, 100000.
He gave an sccount OF the organiza-
tlon and development Of the railway
mail service, the carrier system, ae also
the various other departments.
An interesting account OF the mania
for the collection of stamps was given,
Mr.. Masters telling of the enormous
and valuable collections in the poeses-
sion of many wealthy persons in this
and other countries, as also the great
sums paid for single stamps and collec-
tions.
Mr.. Masters is 80 we'll known as a
lecturer in this vicinity that it ia only
necessary to state that his paper was
listened to with marked attention,
while his hearers were delighted with
many bright and interesting anecdotes.

THE CASE SUBMITTED.
On the government resting it's case,
defendants counsel announced his will
lingnese to submit the case to the jury
without argument, and counsel for the
government agreed to do 30 on the in
structions of the court alone. The case
WAS then given to the jury, at p. m.
Smith has remained apparently un-
moved during these sensational proceed
ings, except during the reading of his
confession, when he had a ft OF appar-
emily bitter weeping.
THE MURDERED BOY.
George Neale, jr., the murdered boy,
was the son of George Neale who for
many years was official reporter of the
courts in San Bernardino, San Diego and
Arizona. and whose name has become
known throughout the state, by reason
OF his being party to the famous
Sweetwater dam litigation. The de-
ceased boy was the idol of his father and
mother, thorough, manly boy. He
was IN expert in swimming and sailing
and passionately fond of the sea. He
was q twin boy and wss born in San
Diego the 23d of August, 1876. His twin
slater survives him, to whom he was de-
votedly attached. He was practically
enticed from home to go on the voyage
with Captain Smith, both by the offer
of s25 which was the frat money he had
ever engaged to work for and by the
promise of adventure which the trip
might afford. He was brave, generous
and industrious and great things were
expected of him. The poor boy never
received the $25. His father is abso-
lutely certain that he was too conscien-
tious, as we'll as too much of a sailor to
have turned the captains skiff adrift,
which has been suggested, but that it
got adrift by accident having been tied
carelessly.
SAVED FROM LYNCHGNG.
A peculiar feature of the affair oc-
Cured when Smith came ashore with
out the boy. The crowd had gathered
and were wild with desire for revenge.
But all awaited the arrival of the boys
father, who they supposed would give
the word to lynch the murderer. Mr..
Neale was overcome by the loss of his
boy, but would not allow his murderer
to be lynched. He pacified the crowd
and thereby saved Smith from the moose
on that occasion.
FOUND NOT GUILTY.
The jury at 10 80 last night brought
in a verdict of not guilty, and the de-
feudant was discharged.
At the request of j. Marion Brooks
the defendant was taken by Deputy
United States Marshal Goodrich back to
the county Jail to spend the night, and
today will send him to his relatives in
the east, who will hereafter care for
him.
Mr.. Brooks manner of conducting
the case has been marked with ability
and adds much to his success as an

A SMOOTH P|CKPOCKET'S WORK
Mrs. James Bree Robbed While
Out Shopping.
She Got Mixed Up in the ThrOng
and Lost Her Money.
Two Men Jostlod Against Her, but She
Cannot Identify the Thief,
Who Made His
Escape.

Mrs. James Bree OF IA Mesnager
street, whose husband is lying at the
point of death at the Soldiers home,
was robbed of purse containing S22
last Monday afternoon.
The robbery was the work OF smooth
pickpocket, who is unknown. The
worst feature OF the affair is that the
poor woman was left pennilees.
Like most women of poor circum-
stances, Mrs. Bree took the last cent
with her when she went out shopping,
not necessarily to spend but as guard
against fire or thieving.
She boarded cable car at San Fer
nando and Mesnsger streets and alighted
at the Peoples store on Spring street.
She had her PURGE in an open eide pocket.
AS ia usually the case on Mondays, the
street was crowded and the throng in
front of the brilliantly decorated
windows was great. Mrs. Bree, with
that curiosity which belongs to women
only. nudged her way into the crowd to
view the gorgeous display.
Presently che was roughly showed
along by an elderly gentleman, as she
supposed, by accident. 1t was only a
few minutes until she was again jostled
in the crowd by another man. This
put the lady to wondering, and che i'm
mediately reached for her purse. She
found that it had been stolen.
II told policeman OF the case as soon
as it happened" eaid Mrs. Bree to q
friend yesterday, land he asked me if [
had any money to have the man arrested.
| told him | had not another cent.
pointed out the man who, | am almost
| positive, took the puree from my pocket.
| The policeman said that he could not
arrest the man unless / was sure he was
the right one. The officer made 40 at
tempt to see If the person | suspected
had stolen my money. l do not know
the officers name."
Mrs. Bree was almost heart-broken
at her loss, as it was the last cent she
had. The condition OF her husband !,
who is dying with consumption. made
the loss doubly hard. The family is
almost destitute. Mrs. Bree has lived
in this city for the last 25 years. The
| case is one which the charitable should
look into at once.
Later it was learned that Officers
Rico and Shannon and Detectives Ben
son and Marsh were upon the scene
soon after the robbery occurred, but
the woman was 80 excited over her loss
that she could give no definite informa-
ton as to who picked her pocket. The
fellow escaped in the crowd.
