How the California National Qua
Has Been Lied About.

How the California National Guard
Has Been Lied About.
The Los Angeles Times says editorially
of the 4th of July incident at Sacramento:
Marshal Baldwin is busy trying to
explain his connection with the affair,
which certainly appears to need great
deal of explanation The entire business
appears to have beer horribly misnan-
aged from the start. After the affair al
the depot two companies of militia were
sent 10 guard the bridges across the
American River about l o'clock in the
afternoon. The officers forgot all about
them. The men might have starved to
death 1t the strikers had not supplied
them with bread and coffee. The strikers
even went so far as to help the soldiers
drag Gatiing gun TO its position. The
men complain that they had had no regu-
lar meals, and were faint from hunger
when they marched to the depot. It ap-
pears that there is no money in the State
Treasury to pay TOR keeping the men in
Sacramento, the Southern Pacific will not
provide for them, and the hotels refuse to
give the men credit unless some RESPONSE
bile person will guarantee the pay. 1t is
further stated by the Escoma1aer that most
Of the rifles in the hands of the National
Guard are not fit for use"
PURE AND SIMPLE ROT.
There is no truth in the above. 1t is
pure fiction. the spasm Of some sensa-
| tional reports of more sensational press
The bridge guards We're not forgotten;
they were not starved; they had plenty
of supplies. tents and comforts; they were
not fed by the strikers; the troops did not
allow strikers to draw the Gatling guns
1t is not true that the National Guard is
or has been refused food or credit. On
the contrary, every man of them has
been and now is boarded at the best
hotels and restaurants III the city and
| have the best the market affords They
| have never been refused anything in the
way of comforts. Their rifles are not
inefficient, but of latest pattern and in
| fine condition. If the Times doubts this
denial, let it wire to any National Guards
man it may select out of the LOCO aud ask
for his testimony or that OF any mum ber
OF the guard. Truth is, the guard has
been grossly lieu about and misrepre-
sented along the whole line OF the strik o
period. 1t is to-day doing the heaviest,
hardest work of the campaign and occu-
pying the most dangerous and trying po-
sitions and manfully and without mur-
muir doing duty at various points, escort
and post, under the most uncomfortable
conditions, for escorting trains is hard
work. sleepless, dirty and nerve-trying.

STOLE A COIL OF WIRE.
And Then Tried to Brain the Owner
With q Rock.

Yester day evening ateIephone message
from Twentieth and 81 streets came to
the Sheriffs Office, asking that an officer
be sent out there Immediately.
Constables J. p. Brissel and Ferris re-
sponded. They found that large gang
OF toughs had invaded the neigh borhood
and some of them had stolen coil of
wire from James Popert, the groceryman.
Popert pursued them, but they sur
rounded him and knocked him down
with cobhle, injnring him considerably.
The constables arrested Bert Bradley,
w. T. Gray and Thomas German and
brought them down to the Jail. They
state that the gang is one OF the toughest
they ever saw. A charge of assault to
murder, as we'll as one of larceny, will
probably be placed against them.

spomING TIRE SHADE TREES.
Telephone Wires Arc Doing Damage
40 the Honolulu Atgarobas.

From the Honolulu Commercial Advertiser.
The deadly telephone is at its work Of de-
struction again, the fine old algarobas in
the Kawaiahao Church yard being now the
object of attack. The Bell Telephone COM
pany is putting in some new poles on King
street at the point indicated and is raising
its wires. The result is that all the over
harging branches. which afford some shade
to the street must be sacrificed. This is
only a specimen Of the work Of desolstion
in which the telephone companies have
been engaged for ten years or more Hard
ly a street is TO be found which does not
show in long lines OF shadeless streets the
foliage the cottony cushion scale 10 simply
not TO be compared with the tele-hone.
is there no remedy for this state OF
things? Our hostility to the telephone COM
panies If only skin deep. and any little
stab at them is nothing but the faithful
wound of friend. The telephone has run
through the stages OF luxury and comfort
and become one of those necessities with
out which life would be a barren wilder
ness. In other countries the wires have
been put under ground. Is there anything
in the character of Hawaiian soil TO pre-
vent the same thing being done hereg IL
the telephone companies would compound
their differences subscribers might have TO
pay a slightly higher rate for Instruments
but the stockholders might get larger
dividend. and there would, IL is 10 be hoped,
be coin enough in the strong box to enable
them to get under ground with their wires.
The indifference OF the government and
apparently Of the public also TO this matter
of street shading is astonishing. 1t could
hardly be worse IL the city were controlled
by the hack drivers. The unfortunate pc
destrian is poor and without influence.
When Walter Murray Gibson was pre-
mier in the good old days of the monarchy.
when his mind was not occupied with
dreams of conquest in the South Seas. he
conceived the idea OF planting trees along
the sidewalks all over the city. Most OF
the trees did not live long enough 90 get
their heads above the barrels which encir-
cled them, but some Of them are throwing
broad masses of friendly shade over the
dusty thorcughfares. Mr. .Gibson's idea was
a good one, and it ought to be revived. A
comprehensive plan OF street shading ought
to be sketched in and carried out, and IL
ought to have an absolute right OF way
something with which no telephone wires
can interfere.

Coaching Horses Die OF the Heat
A big coaching picnic given on Saturday


by Ogden Mills and J. J. Van Allen at New
rort, r. l., was marred by the deaths OF
two Of the horses on the country road. Mr..
Mills left his cottage with a coach fun in
side and out. The temperature was 90 de-
grees, and the horses were sent along rap
idly without delay. The distance was seven
miles. When four miles had been accom-
plished a bay leader dropped. almost with
out warning. Fine driving averted SER
ious accident.
The harness OF the poor herse was loosen
ed and all was done for IL that would have
been done for human being. but he soon
died at the side of the road. and the party
went en- behind three horses. When the
ground was reached, one Of Oliver Bel
monts horses showed the effects Of tbs
trip. and soon laid down, began TO breathe
hard. and when the picnicker were re-
turning, the horse was about dying MI.
Mills horse was worth $1,000. and Mr.. Bel.

DRESS SUITS TO RENT.
Facts About the Business, the Prices, and
the Men who Hire Them.

More men than ever buy dress suits nowadays,
and more dress suits than ever are hired also.
There are in New York probably fifty or sixty
places where dress suits can be hired. The cost
varies from fifty cents to So a night. depending
on locality and the character OF the suit. The
wearers of hired dress suits include guests in
hotels and visitors in the city who have unex-
pectedly found need OF "A dress suit. Dress suits
are sent daily in the season from this city to
Brooklyn and Long Island, Hoboken. Jersey
City, and Staten Island, and frequently to places
further away.
There is one establishment whose sole bust
ness is renting dress suits. GENERALLY the busi-
ness Is carried on in connection with some other
trade. Some men hire II dress SUIT once IA sea-
son, others two or three times, and others again
hire them season after season, thus avoiding the
trouble of keeping dress suits of their own in or
der. At the establishment devoted exclusively
TO the business there are kept In stock from 80
10 $50 suits. The suits are Of good quality ana
fashi0nably cut. The charge runs from 81 to
81. The latter price might be charged for a suit
or fifteen men hiring together would get them
at Sl.5O each. Sometimes entire clubs, perhaps
nifty or sixty men, hire dress suits TOR "A ball or
reception. In such cases they get them at per-

sold to walters for 500 or 81. such coats may
be in good order, and not much worn, but not in

business: but there II something doing the year

A WOMAN JAIL BREI HER.
Ars. Young shows that Men DO Not Have
Monopoly OF this Art.

ffOm me hiHnruDofts LUNGS.
One OF the most unique attempts at iail break
ing in the record of Hennepin county's Jail was
made shortly after l o'clock yesterday morning
by Mrs. Seiger Young. who was confined there
awaiting trial for stealing 81 800 worth of Jewell
ry from the rcsidenceOf ii. X. HalvOrsen, l,429
Ninth street :. while employed as a domestic in
the family. Mrs. Young escaped from the Jail
about l o'clock, and but for a cousin to whom
she applied for aid, and Inspector Stavio. she
would be still at large, for the fact that she was
gone was not known at the county jail until this
morning, when II man came from the central
station and notified Sheriff Ege and tine jailer.
Mrs. Young was locked up in "a room on the
second floor OF the jail. This room is a first-class
cell for high.toned prisoners, but, unfortunately
u has a skylight In the ceiling, which opens out

big closet. and according TO the story told by
a chair and a box ON IL, and by sheer mus

When she reached the ground, she was stopped
by a passer-by, but tripped him up, and after
quite "A chase got away from HIM and went to
the residence OF her cousin, IA man named Lund-
berg, near Fifteenth avenue and Ninth street,
She demanded that her cousin furnish her with
clothes, but he refused, and went to the resi-
dence OF Inspector StaviO, not far away, and
told him. Stavio jumped out OF bed, dressed
himself, and after u hunt OF two or three hours,
located the woman about $40 o'clock on
seventh street. between sixteenth and Seven
teenth avenues =. Mrs. Young. having got thus
far, wasn't TO be taken so easily, however, and
gathering her light dTapery up around her
waist, she started of at n 2:Olla gait, and led
the big Inspector a chase OF four blocks before
she was caught, and even then she made a des-
perate fight.
She was brought to the Central police station
at 4 O'Clock yesterday morning. and when
searched two knives were found in "A tobacco
sack tied around her waist. she begged that
the officers leave her one of the knives. as she
said she intended TO kill herself il her attempt
at escaping were unsuccessful. IL she had cs-
capped she said she would have gone to her son
in Wisconsin.
Mrs. Young was taken 10 the county jail
again yesterday afternoon and placed in the
same cell, this time, however, in company of the
matron. Hereafter Mrs. Young Will he con
stantly watched TO prevent any further attempt
at escaping.
