HARD CASE.
A hard looking citizen giving the
name of Carl Acterman, who was ar.
rested last evening by Marshal Buch-
anan, charged with vagrancy, was up
before Recorder Rossiter this morning
Tor trial. The fellow has been frequently
complained of for hanging around build
ings at night and has on divers occa-
sions frightened women by his actions.
When arraigned he pied not guilty
and raised great row when the court
sentenced him to Hpend 80 days at the
county's expense in the Jail on the hill.
The marshal had considerable diff
Guilty in getting him cut OF the court
room rs he declined to move and ierked
away when taken holdof.
Finally be decided that the only wav
out was to behave himself and serenely
submitted to being taken down to the
lookup from where he was afterwards
removed to the county Jail.

WARRANTS SERVED.
United States Deputy Marshal James
d. Faris returned from Los Angeles last
evening with 10 warrants for the arrest
of Cinnamon to be taken before Judge
Ross and sentenced for deportation. The
warrants are returnable next Friday and
as he has out of the 10 under arrest 1t
is more than likely that he will be able
to report the whole of the list to the
court. One Of the warrants is for Moch
Chuck, who rifled safe in Chinatown
of $1,000 in money and about 5000 in
jewelry and made good his escape to
San Diego, where he was arrested today
by Constable West. A serious question
arises in this case. Which would be the
beet, for the state to bring the thiei
back to this city and have the county
stand the expense of trial and then a
term in state prison, or to turn him
over to the federal authorities and have
him deported? The Chinese are seri-
ously disturbed in this city as the ques-
tion is brought home to them. Many
are leaving for the south, probably
Mexico.

Solution OF the Labor Question.
EDITORS HERALD: Through your kind
ness / am enabled to give your readers
q few OF my crude ideas as to q means to
help out the present serious condition
OF the army of unemployed workmen in
your city. think IL would be well to
bureau, q sort of headquarters for the
workingmen, the object OF which would
be as follows:
To furnish employment for those out
OF work and relieve suffering.
To give any statistics or information
OF value to the workingmen.
Also to add many other beneficial
features from time to time after the in
stitution became self-supporting. It is
not intended ga charitable institution
in any sense of the word.
A board of examiners, of prominent
men, to be appointed, whose duty shall
be to examine into the finances and
workings of the institution, at any time
desired or required, that no question
may arise as to the honest disposition of
all funds; also to act as an advisory
board. This work to be given free.
The bureau could be run for some
time at least by two men. One, say. for
secretary and treasurer, and the other
president and general manager.
Subscriptions to be solicited by au-
thorized canvassers principally for work !;
also for some money to meet the few ex-
pefiees accruing for Office fixtures and
salaries. This work to be given free if
possible. A certain amount subscribed
each month in work or funds
entities the donor to one or more
votes, according to the amount,
on all measures coming up for decision
during said month, majority to rule.
In case of any subscription or donation
not being published, the same should
be reported at once to the manager.
All matters pertaining to the bureau
presented and discussed either by per-
son or by letter shall be considered as
public and open to publication and
kept on record. Records of applications
for work and all employment given, as
well as reoeipta and expenses, shall be
kept in books for that purpose, and also
be- published from time to time. Work
also to be solicited for idle men through
the press.
The aim will always be to obtain good
wages, when possible, but scarsely any
offer will be refused, for those out of
means or credit, for their meals and
lodging. Two dollars ($2), if possible,
will be obtained for ten (10) hours
work for all common labor, and the
wages now ruling for work in the
trades. 1t is not the intention to have
trade unions control the bureau in any
sense, though believe the unions do
good work in certain directions. Boy
cots, strikes and all impediments to
business and work to be discouraged,
and settlement by arbitration advised
instead.
Public work to be furnished by
the city, county, state and the United
States to bs encouraged by every honor
able means; said work to be let out by
days work, in lieu of contract, in charge
ola superintendent appointed by the
head Of each department. In this way
we believe the workman will be better
able to obtain his just dues.

About silver.

EDITORS HERALD The other day at
San Francisco asked Frank S. Douty,
one OF the brainiest men, what way he
would suggest to handle silver 90 as to
bring order out Of the present financial
chaos. Douty said substantially: Il
would retire from circulation and cease
to issue all gold coins and paper money
from denomination of $40 and below
that, make silver Subsidiary coin
age to supply this void using
coins of the denomination ~ now
issued, let congress make this subsidiary
coinage legal tender for all debts pub
lie and private, including duties on ex-
ports and imports up to $40. Then put
q heavy import duty on silver 30 we
could not be overrun from abr Dad. 1t
is estimated that this would require
from seven to eight hundred millions OF
silver currency.
1 can't see why this is not just what
we want. Would like to hear from
thinkers on this. A. B. HoTCHKIss.

II is not generally known that in tho
nountairs of eastern Tennessee there lives
class of peculiar looking people whose
origin is wrapped in mystery and who are
called by the whites Melungeons. They re-
sent this appellation and proudly olare
that they are Portuguese
The legend of their history, which thoy
carefully preserve, is this: A great many
years ago these mountains were settled by
O society Of Portuguese advepturers, men
and women, who came from the shore of
Virginia that they might be freed from the
restraints and drawbacks imposed upon
them by any form of government.
They made themselves friendly with the
Indians, and, freed as they were from every
kind Of social government, they uprooted
all conventional forms Of society aud lived
in kind Of delightful Utopia Of their own
creation, despising all forms Of religion and
subsisting upon corn-the only possible
product Of the soil-and the game of the
great forests They intermixed with the
Indians and Subsequently with the negroes,
and thus formed the present race of Melun-
geons.
They are tall, straight, well formed peo-
pie, % "A dark copper color, but with Cir.
caSsian features They were privileged
voters in the old slave days and accredited
citizens. They are brave, but quarrelsome,
and are hospitable to strangers. They have
no preachers among them and are almost
without nny knowledge of a supreme being.

Boyishness In Great Men.

Doctor b was an old minister in Dor
chester while Edward Everett was n child
there. When yeats afterward he was told
of the polished and brilliant orations
which were making Mr.. Everett famous,
be shook his head doubtfully, saying:
mo man ever took lasting hold on the
affections of other men who had not retain
ed something of the boy in his nature. Ned
never was q boy. He was always grown
up"
Whether the old clergyman was just in
his estimate of the scholarly and formal
orator of Massachusetts, or not, he was as
suredly right in the Importance which he
gave to the boyish elements in character.
"The man of genius is always young"
says Bouvier.
Scott" says the most acute Of his crit
les, always saw men and places with the
vivid insight of youth. He laughed and
wept like a child into his old age He Is a
boy to his countrymen still 'Watty,' they
call him affectionately, disregarding all
later honors or titles, ,"-Youth's Compan-
ion.

A countryman who has been endeavor-
ing to obtain some definite ideas about
the royal wedding functions from the
various illustrated papers applies to me
for help and enlightenment. His be-
wilderment is natural. He finds in the
first place that we seem to have new
queen reigning over us, for her majestys
features in the illustrated paper bear no
resemblance to the authorized portraits
Of Queen Victoria. A still more re-
markable fact is that in the course Of
the festivities her majesty seems to have
continually changed her habiliments.
One Of the special artists shows her
with an ermine train. Another repre-
sents her with no train at all. Another
shows her with crown on her head.
Another appears to have seen her only
a few minutes later in bonnet.
One picture represents the queen and
her guests all taking lunch at one table.
Another places them at different tables.
One paper surpasses itself by two views
of the route to the railway station, in
each of which the royal couple are pro-
vided with'a totally different carriage
and different horses and attendants. l
think | can explain how these discrep-
ancies arise. Probably some of the spe-
cial artists dispatched to sketch the we'd
ding made their sketches at Henley.-
