RoRNEO,s HAIR Is BLACK,

This Fact Discovered at the Jail Yes.
terday-An Examination of His
Books show That He Had a Multi.
picity OF Names-His Case Contin.
ued for One Week-Hts Alleged Rec
ommendations From q Number of
Ministers.
The cases against Borneo Maskego,
charged with obtaining money under false
pretenses, were continued in the city court
yesterday until next Monday at his own
request, in order to give him time to pre-
pare defense. Maskego is the Zulu fskir
who was arrested Sunday evening at the
A. NJ. e. church on Foote street.
Maskego was taken to jail yesterday af.
ternoon with the other prisoners from the
city court. On his arrival there his hair
was cropped, but not, however, without
violent protestations from the prisoner.
This imperative order was carried out,
however, and then the reason for
Maskego's objection became apparent. In
other words the color Of his hair became
changed from a fiery red to glossy black.
Maskego finally confessed that he had dyed
his hair red and that black was it's natural
color. He was then placed in cell while
pitifully mourning the loss of his auburn
locks, and the attendant exposure of an
other of his fakes.
Maskego's picturesque vestments are
| still at police headquarters, it being
thought that he would have no use for
! them at the Whalley avenue hotel.
Borneo Maskego is blessed with numer-
l GUS names, almost as many az his robss,
| one of which he uses in every city he
| visits. A more detailed investigation was
made into his record yesterday, and it waf
sscertained from his books that he has
gone under the names since January l of
Tibbu lib, Orlando Gibson, Charles Har-
ris and Borneo Maskego. The authorities
are investigating the case.
| At Agent Preston Office In the Organ
lied Charities building yesterday afternoon
Borneo's ledger was subjected to thor
| ough examination. The ledger contains 6
number of names and addresses and 1t Is
| believed that all of these have been vic
Tins of Borneo's clever schemes.
On the cards which he gives out he
claims to be able to translate the Zulu Ian
guage, and in one of his books is an al
legged translation of that language. TIT
characters of the language itself are made
up of q series of combinations of 411-4.
and look very much like Chinese laundr,
| check.
One of the books contains letters O
recommendation from a number Of negr'
ministers throughout the south, in New
Jersey and in New York. These letter
are from Rev. Mr.. Gaines, pastor of Beth
any Baptist church in Brooklyn; William
D. Lewis, D. D., of Roanoke, Va; Rev. R
Haywood Silt of Brooklyn; Rev. o. D
Robinson, Baltimore, Md; Rev. jaime
Francis, New York city; Rsv. W. R. Gul
linus, Danville, Va; Rev. S. Alexander
Georgetown, D. O.; Rev. Seth W. Smith
Trenton, N. j.; and Rev. R. D. Wynn G
New York city. All of these will be com
inundated with in the hope of ascsrtainin
further particulars in reference to him, bu
the almost universal opinion of the at
thorities Is that all these gentlemen hay
been victimized.

one went driving in the park yesterday.
And it took three policemen and handful
of park guards stationed just in one spot
to keep half hundred foolish people from
being run over and MANNED or killed.
Early in the afternoon Captain Thomp-
son mounted his lively bay saddlehorse
and took stand on the western side of
the entrance to the broad driveway in
front Of the music-stand.
You can go that way, gentlemen" he
kept continually calling out to the mis-
guided foot-passengers who kept trying to
usurp the road reserved for the vehicles.
Once in a while he tried to lasso stray dog,
and failed. and the rest of the time he put
in bowling to the people he knew as they
drove by in their private or hired turn
outs.
The latter were about evenly divided
that is as between the hired and private
vehicles. 1t seemed as though every
livery-stahle in the city that could afford a
real bang-up team and carriage must be
entirely depleted.
OF course the uninitiated could not tell
them apart. the hired from the private
rigs. But this does not apply TO Captain
Thompson. who not only knows every
private turnout in the city that ever comes
to Golden Gate Park. but can tell offhand
what livery stable owns this or that horse
or vehicle.
So you may fool great many people
when you go riding in the park with a
hired rig, but of them Captain Thompson
is not one. No matter how sleek the rig
you get nor how much livery the driver
wears, just remember that one pair of eyes
in the park has siZed you up to the dot be-
fore you get fairly across the parade
ground.
Net that it's ANYTHING to be ashamed Of,
to drive out in hired rig, unless you go
| riding just to make other people believe
you are somebody that you are not, or
have something that you have not.
Unless you're ashamed of it yourself,
nobody else will be. for everybody recog-
nizes that it is a perfectly honorable thing
to hire nice stylish rig. and take your
best girl or your family out to the park
for drive of Sunday afternoon.
You couldn't do anything better. nor
anything that will give you more genuine
pleasure. Even yesterday, windy as it
was, Golden Gate Park was a delightful
spot. The wind didn't blow up much
dust, for the sprinkling-carts had been
busy all morning.
Then. too, there wasn't as much wind in
the park as In some other places, for many
of the drives are sheltered from the west.
And even where the Zephyrs were there
the sunlight was also. and where the sun
shines it is never cold in California, much
