ALL ABOUT A CALICO DRESS,
Hew Il Was Made the Basis of
a Chinese Row.
A Mongolian Serio-Comedy Yester-
day Before Justice Seaman.
Iacidents Noted Yesterday in the Jus
tices' Courts-Crimtnals and I'm
fortunates who Were Be-
fore the Bar.

A Chinese society serio-comedy occu.
pied the attention of Justice Sesman't
court yesterday; also, that of a jury and
two lawyers. The complaining witness
was represented by Mr.. ]. M. Donovan,
and the defendant by Mr.. George
Phibbs.
The plot, or cause of action, is that oi
two rival companies who wish to settle
a quarrel in the 'Melican court and at
the expense of the 'Melican man. Ah
Hing runs a laundry. 1t is against the
rules OF his company to employ China
men who are not members of that COM
pany, under the pain and penalty OF a
exchequer. 1t is charged that Hing
violated this rule, and in order to get
the evidence Lou Foo visited the laun-
dry in company with another China
man on the orders of the company.
The ''foreign" Chinaman, who is not a
member of that company, was engaged
in sprinkling a calico dress by spurt-
ing water out of his mouth onto the
garment. Loo Foo seized the dress and
took it away in triumph as evidence to
be used against Ah Hing for employing
"washee-man" not belonging to their
set.
But Hing had Foo arrested on the
charge OF stealing the dress.
The trial lasted about three hours,
after which the jury deliberated for an
hour. and returned a verdict of guilty.
The dress is valued at about 81, when
washed.
MINOR CASES.
Frank Harris and III. R. Welch were
fined $40 each yesterday by Justice
Austin for disturbing the peace in
mutual knock down.
The case against Mrs. Tiscbarger,
charged with threats, was partly heard
yesterday by Justice Austin, who will
listen to the remainder of the details OF
the neighborhood quarrel this morning.
August Busch, who was before Justice
Seaman yesterday on the charge OF
vagrancy, in begging, was committed
for examination as to his sanity.
R. S. Ward was arrested yesterday by
Officers Goodman and Stevenson on the
charge of carrying concealed weapons,
in the shape of an ugly-looking bowie
knife.
John Doe Penn was yesterday released
from the county jail on what is known
as "fioater"-that is to float away
from the vicinity of his crime. He was
taken to Santa Monica and tried before
justice on the charge of conspiracy,
and sentenced to 80 days imprisonment (;
but the sentence was suspended pro-
vided he would leave town. He left.

CARE YE THERE MoRIARITYp"

Whether that distinguished British
humorist, Mr.. Gilbert, had ever been "on
the foorce" or not has never yet been
sufficiently explained to the satisfaction
of the English speaking public. But he
evidently struck a very tender, sym
pathetic chord in the hearts of the con-
servative and long established family Of
Jonbool & Co. when he wrote:
Our feelings we with difficulty smother
When consta abulary duty's to be done;
Taking one consideration with another,
A policemans lot is not happy one.
Taking one consideration with an
other, "the policeman's lot is not a
happy one." Yet in spite of these
timely warnings on the part OF the great
est of modern British philosophers, there
were at the last meeting of our local
board of police commissioners no less
than 68 applications for appointments on
the regular force, to say nothing of 16
other applications. for appointments as
specials. Then it was that the sublime
craftsmanship of Mr.. Weldon (who had
probably friend awaiting for him
around the corner) showed itself in the
introduction of motion to pass all
these over to the next meeting OF the
board. 1t is not the first time that we
have heard of this generous and self
sacrificing spirit. Even McPhee of
Dublin was willing to "hand it over to
Reilly"
Several years ago we attended a min

night of the 18th of June. Billy Emer-
son was on the end and Jim Norcross
was the intarlocutor. The latter gen.
tleman said:
"Well, William, this has been very
fine day."
Eyes, great day." replied Emerson.
'Do you know what day this is 2"
asked Norcross.
"Yes, sir, this is Wednesday,"
''No. but of what day is this the an
niversary7"
Dunno replied Emerson.
swell, sir, this is the anniversary of
the battle of Waterloo. On that day
the greatest man Of the century, Napo-
leon Bonaparte, was hurled from power,
never to rise again."
"Yes, he was a great man," replied
Emerson.
"Yes, sir" continued Norcross, she
was not only great soldier but philos-
opher. Some of his epigrammatic say
ings have become proverbs. For in
stance, he said "If you scratch Rus
sian you will catch Tartar"
"Yes, that was all we'll enough in his
day." said Emerson, ''but it wouldn't
answer here in San Francisco" "Well,
now, William" said Mr.. Norcross, 'il
Napoleon Bonaparte were in San Fran
cisco, what would he say?" "He would
say, If you scratch an:Ir;shman you'll
find policeman"

for police honors referred to above does
not quite realize the truth OF Mr.. Emer-
sons aphorism. There are but 81 out

TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE.

A Fruit Tree Purchased in Which a
Check Played Part.
Another check swindle has come to
the surface. A wise young man from
the east found man who wanted to sell
a ranch near the city. He did not want
to buy the ranch, but only the fruit
trees which could be dug up
and transplanted. The trees were
sold at $500. The confidence opera
tor drew check upon an eastern bank.
These fellows invariably have their
money in the east-when they do have
any.
The purchaser then asked the seller
for the loan of $50, stating he had
drawn upon his eastern banker. The
$50 was forthcoming. But the eastern
draft did not work. The case was re-
ported to Chief OF Police Glass. The
sharper returned S65, and the man with
the orchard charged the other SIS to ex-
