ROBBED BY MASKED HIGHWAYMEN.

A Midnight Raid on an Outlying Brew
ery-Quinn's Hat Store
Entered.

The gang of burglars and footpads who
have beeu operating so lively in this city
for some weeks past are still with us, and
evidently expect to do business during
the State Fair.
Early last evening the family of d. FL.
| Quinn, who reside in the rear of the lat
ter's store at Fourth and j streets, locked
up the premises and went for walk.
Returning shortly afterward they entered
their rooms, and Miss Quinn went on
through into the hat store.
| When she entered the store she was
surprised to find a strange man there
occupying chair, and demanded to
know what he was doing there. The
fellow replied that he had been locked in.
The young lady told him that could not
be So as just then she noticed the front
door ajar. She gave an alarm, and the
visitor jumped up and dashed through
the door to the street, where he struck
out on brisk run.

A BREWERY HELD UP.
Shortly before midnight last night two
men. who wore linen busters, and with
their faces masked, walked into the bar

the bar.
He got $40 20 from the cash register.
Then he went through Windmiller and
got about So more, after which the men

Windmiller was entirely alone when
the robbers called, and they had no

officers Fisher and Taylor responded

robbers, who had about a half-hour's s

These are undoubtedly the same men
who robbed a man on o street, near
Ninth, on Saturday night, and also the
proprietor of the saloon at Thirty first

POPULIST BUNCOMBE.
A Party Which Stands for No Princi-
pIes Whatevar
from the San Diego Union

From the San Diego Union.l
There are we'll meaning people in this
country who are inclined to vote the Pop
ulist ticket. Do they know what the
POpullst party stands for? Do the lead
ers of the party know? Is that party
founded for the 1urtherance OF any great
principle? viii votes cast for that party
help better the Government? These are
some of the questions arising in the
minds of sensible voters to whom Popu-
list orators appeal. Usually voters de-
mand logical, weil-grounded reasons in
order to be influenced. If the Populists
can present scheme for government
better than that now in force the people
will accept 1t. Comparatively few people
believe that the Populists can do this.
Popullst orators assume the position to-
ward the two great political parties akin
/ to that assumed by Robsrt q. Ingersoll
toward religion. They sneer and pirate
about the weaknesses OF the system, aud
attract crowds OF cynical listeners to ap-
plaud cheap jokes and stump orato1y,
but never do they propose better sys-
tenn.
Their leader in the Senate was unable
to propose better system. He did man
age to cover himself with ridicule and
reap the scorn of the nation by proposing
to abolish both houses of Congress at a
time when the nation was imperiled by
the violent actions of anarchists parading
as The partisans of labor. Never has he
proposed or carried through single law
OF benefit to the people. Intelligent
voters observe this record. Hasty voters
will do we'll to notice the wide discrep-
ancy between Popuiist arguments on the
stump and Populist actions in Congress.
Every voter in the land, except members
OF the sugar trust, has lost money be-
cause lnefhcient legislators have been put
in power. Shrinkage of the pocketboolx
is palpable fact. No stump speeches are
necessary to prove that. Consequently
every voter is likely to be cautious in ac-
cepting harum-scarum arguments uttered
by new parties handicapped by such an
attempt at a record as is the so-called
Peoples party.

making it stronger than usual. 1t is bet
ter not TO sweeten until you have learned
the taste of the guests. Strain and pour
into a stone jug or glass bottle and place
in the ice chest until ready to serve. Pour
it in g6 bletS and never use cream. Serve
the ice cracked on plates garnished with
| well-washed fruit leaves. a way to make
tea other than by sleeping in boiling
water is to cover the tea leaves with cold
water and let them stand six or eight
hours. The infusion will possess a diff
ferent flavor. Though tea made in this
way is often preferred. it is not economic
cal, as double the amount ot tea is re-
quired to make the drink.
Russian tea is made by placing slice
of lemon in each cup before pouring the
boiling hot tea. In serving. use tiny
! tumblers instead of teacups. This is
quite as palatable when cold.
| Beverages concocted by the use of
syrups are the most popular, and the
! syrups that should ever be kept on hand
are spiced black berry, raspberry, orange,
| ounce, apple and peach, syrup of orange
| peel, strawberry, pineapple, pear, cherry,
! lemon, essence OF lemon or orange, and
mixed syrup. This latter syrup. of ex-
| cellent flavor, may be made by mixing
| two different fruits together, as rasp-
berry, red or black, aud currants, or
raspberry with cherries. Lemon juice
may be added to apple, and pineapple is
/ a fine addition to any OF the fruits, but is
rather expensive for liberal use.
Temperance punch is lemonade with
crushed raspberries or Strawberries to
give it color. Serve in punchbowls.
Cream soda can be made by boiling to-
gether for five minutes two ounces OF tar
/ taric acid, two pounds of white sugar, the
| juice of one lemon, and three pints of
water. When the syrup is almost cold
add the whites of three eggs, half cup
| ful of flour, and half an ounce of essence
of wintergreen. Beat these together
| thoroughly, then bottle and keep in a
cool place. Two tablespoonfuls of the
| syrup to each glass of water, and add a
fourth of a teaspoonful of bicarbonate of
soda. This drink should be taken quickly.
1t is pleasantly effervescent and thought
| by many superior to soda water.
Root beer must not be forgotten. The
extracts of the root obtainable in the drug
stores are inexpensive and quite satisfac-
| tory. Use fourteen quarts of water, two
quarts of sugar, one bottle Ofextract, one
scant pint of bakers or one square of
compressed yeast, three tablespoonfuls of
extract OF ginger. Put all these together
in an earthen jar, stir until the sugar IS

the opportunity did not present itself.

in The dock few minutes before court opened,
when there were not many people in the court
room.

ADIEU TO CHENEY.
Banquet by the Guild of
Arts and Crafts.
Some Very Pleasant Things Said to
the Departing Librarian
and SOnneteer.

Members of the Guild of Arts and Crafts
rendered banquet TO Mr.. John Vance Cheney
at the California Hotel last evening, previous
10 his departure for Chicago TO assume charge
of the Newberly Library. There were not as
many present as there might have been, but
they made up in worth and good fellowship
what they CHANGED TO lack in numbers.
The tables were arranged in an ellpse in the
coy cafe. with covers laid for thirty. Professor
Bernard Moses was installed at the head of the
table under crayOn of the assembled arts and
crafts, with Mr.. Cheney, the guest OF honor on
his right, and MIR. Irving NJ. Scott on his left.
The banquet Itself was an elaborate affair,
sparkling throughout with wit and the wines OF
California and of la belle France, so that when
the cigars were lighted the esprit du corps, or
something like y, had been raised 10 such a
pitch that the intellectual Efforts following
were, of necessity, brilliant in the extreme.
Professor Moses opened he Symposium with
short but very catching address. He was
sorry, as was all San Francisco. at the coming
departure OF Mr.. Cheney, but congratulated
the latter that he was about to Toll in a city
where art was to be born, where men pushed
and held together.
AS Professor Moses concluded all rose at
given signal and drank the health of the guest
of the evening In flowing burners.
Mr.. Cheney thanked tn guild for the f1atteT-
ing testimonial. and ontinuing, concerning the
guild and arts, stated that he considered that
at the foundation all the arts are one and the
same. They are all doing he same thing, SerV-
ing the same divine mistress, beauty.S
Mr.. Cheney resumed his seat amid the most
enthusiastic applause and Professor Moses in
troduced Mr.. Irving NJ. Scout. The latter was
in fine form and took Guild, Without the ., I"
for his subject, going into a humorous ana in
StructiVe dissertation, which was highly appre-
ciated.
President Horace G. Plat of the Bohemian
Club was next called upon, and made one of
the Eeatest responses of the evening. He re-
called once reading one of collection of
poems on books entitled Books eeping," and
he could not help thinking that in losing Mr..
Cheney San Francisco was losing her best
boOkke eper.
Page Brown was very happy in the few re.
marks he saw fit 10 make on the occasion, and
at his suggestion the company again toasted
the health of MI Cheney standing

The Mariposa's passengers brought a
few letters from persons who were pres
ent at the Union Steamship Company's
pier when the Argyle arrived with the sur
vivors. People by hundeds crowded the
wharf anxiously inquiring for friends and
relatives. Children huddled together in
the depot, some having been made or
phans, some having lost a mother, a
father, sister or brother. The memory
of that awful calamity will never be for
gotten in all Australia.
On the list of officers of the WairaraDa
is tne name of turser Penwin. Mr.. PEN
win was at one time on the Monowai. He
was saved from the wreck by the second

wrecked steamer Wairarapa, which went
down near Barrier Island on the night of
October %. The Mariposa. by mail ad-

which is the most horrible that has oc-
Cured for years in any part Of the world.
1t Will go Oh record as one Of the great
shipwrecks of the nineteenth century.
Among the Mariposa's Storage passengers
from Auckland vera Thomas Cox, E.

cabin was Walter Rich from the same
city. The news had been published in the
columns of the daily press before the Mar
