RICH, BUT STOLE A SAUSAGE.
A Queer Case of keptomania Re-
Gently Brought to Light in Paris.

We all have heard in our lives OF kleptOma-
MIA; but do not think that any one ever really
believed in it. We know vaguely that a m IN
who steals whole railroads aud dies a million
aire is a great tinancler, and we also know that
man VINO steals loaf of bread 10 save his
family from starvation is a thief ard goes TO
jail, bur II Is hard 10 realize that there are peO-
ple who steal trifes simply from species of
insanity. Yet a shining example of this kind
has just come TO light In Paris. The lady,
whose name for obvious reasons ii is as well
not 10 mention, Is a welI-knOwn figure In Paris
society.
She is extremely handsome and dresses su-
perbly, but is never seen in public alone Some
member OF h-r family always accompanies her
and never leaves her side for an instant, al
though married woman over so does not
usually require such minute chaperOnage. She
Is a very charming woman and very brilliant
cOnverSatlonalist, and Is most deservedly pOpu-
lar here. The horror of her friends may
be guessed when she was arrested
yesterday on the FaubOurg MOntmar-
tire for stealing a sausage, valued at s
cents. from the front Of grocery. The grocer
promptly had her arrested, and on searching
her they found some potatoes. some eggs, an
opera glass. photograph of CarnOt coffee
cup and saucer and spoon, and also, unhap.
PLY, her cardcase, giving her full name and
address, The only thing that was legally her
property, as the other articles were claimed by
their rightful owners, from whom she had an-
nexed them. The family were sent for and by
paying for the stolen objects were able TO release
their poor relative, who sat weeping bitterly
Ii seems that this irresistible impulse TO appro-
pirate other peoples goods is periodic. She is
perfectly sane In other respects, but one never
knows when this mania Will seize her, aud that
is the reason of Der being constantly watched.
This is the first time she has ever been taken
into custody, and the family feel the disgrace
so keeDly that society bids fair to be deprived
OF the poor cuiprips presence this winter, as
they mean TO take her into the country until
the whole affair has blown Over.-Philadelpnia

The girl did not continue. She could not al

asked her TO be his wife. she had promised 10

George did not care 10 do IL himself. He said
that ii be broke it 10 the old man the old man
would break him. George was poor and the old
man did not like poor men, even In the abstract
what would he say TO such concrete thing as a
poor SON. in-law? George preferred to hear
what he would say by proxy.
Hence the scene. The girl had promised TO
post her dad. and being a girl of her word she
determined TO do II, though the heavens should
fall (cplum ruaO.
Bracfng herself, she resumed:

you-something l fear that you will not like.

Involuntarily she closed her eyes, expecting
every moment that her stern parent would
empty the walls OF his hot wrath upon her head.
The next moment she asked herself II she
were dreaming. Her fathers voice Came TO her
cast in its usual pitch and brought 10 her half
daZed brain these words:

PREPARING PLANS
Progressive Methods of
Street Cleaning.
The Merchants Association Will
Push the Work-Why Some Will
Not Subscribe.

No time is being lost blythe memb ers OF the
Merchants Association having in charge
the street cleaning work in carrying out
certain arrangements which have been
made upon a systematic plan. Some of
these arrangements have not been COM
pleted, and therefore the committee will
not make them public just yei. About
the middle of the coming week. however,
1t Is Intended to Law their plans before the
public for approval and support.
1t was stated by members of the commit
tee yesterday that these plans would not
only include method Of cleaning all the
city streets upon systematic scale, but
would also include a mode of saving labor
by having receptaces placed throughout
the streets at convenient distances apart
so that rubbish could be deposited therein
and thereby kept off the streets.
The collections for carrying on the good
work are giving the committee some bother
as some people who should take an inter-
est in the ID after do not. One of the COM
mittee said last evening IN speaking upon
this subject:
There are some firms which are liberal
in the eau Sc of charity and in other WAYS
when the public good is at stake, but they
will not look al this movement OF ours 10
the proper spirit. They say TO us. 'Wbv
should we pay for what the city has TO
dop Acting upon this they will not
assist US.
Now. the point we want to make is
this: Work has never been prop ,rly
done; there has never been an effort made
10 prove how clean the streets can be
kept, nor what it will cost to carry out the
work. This is the problem we are going
to solve.
I'VE do not propose to keep on making
the merchants and business men paw for
this work all the time. We will get the
experience in our work, and when our
system is perfected the city must adopt il
and see that it is carried out by responsi-
bic parties. The city really gets the benefit
of our experience. On the other hand
there are many Of our subscribers who fall
right in with our ideas.
To-day / bed an interview with Park
Commissioner Stow regarding the dirt.
and he said the Commissioners would
gladly cooperate with us In getting it out
to the park. As Tor labor we now have
$50 men with families employed, and we
hope soon to have $50 at work. If our
efforts meet with success and we get the
funds hardly any able-bodie man in town
will have an excuse for not working If
we could only have the assistance of the
charllably inclined and let them under
stand that this is really the best means of
dispensing charity! Practical relief is the
best kind. Our books and plans will be
ready for public inspection next week.
The public should understand that we are
only the trustees in the handling Of these

Playing was resumed after short delay.
"Brck" and Captain Prick began to test
u. C.'s ends, and found them weak.
Good gains of ten and fifteen yardsswere
easily made by Reliance's backs. The
ball was again carried over the U. c. goal
line for the second touchdown. White

Sherman started the kick oft this time

the fly and trot;ed back fifteen yards,
where he was downed by Hockheimer.
Whtehouse, by clever duck, lodged
through the lines for ten yards, and Ed
wards five more. This concluded the
gamey little halfback's part in the game.
The man of many injuries was laid up
for good. His place was taken by Captain
Ffick, and Wyckoff was ordered from the
side lines TO look after the duties of full
back.
The loss of Edwards did not affect the
progressive playing of Reliance at all

The second half was almost an exact
repetition of the first. Berkeley began the
kicking. The ball rolled over the goal
line and Whitehouse brought it out TO the
twenty-fve-yard line. where he had the
privilege of free kick. which he exc
cuted in fine style.
The ball reverted to Reliance on a foul.

Berkeley's line, played a terrific game. At
times 1t would seem that the whole eleven
were in state OF frenzy. They made all
sorts of holes in Berkeley's line. and then
a WhirehOuse, Mcmillan or Walton was
certain to bound through these gaps for a
gain of ten or fifteen yards. 1t is difficult
10 say whether Reliance played better
game than 1t did against Stanford last Sat-
urday or not, since the university eleven
offered such paltry resistance against a
majority of their plays.
Captain Frick, as usual, put I'D a gilt
edged game as long as be was in the strug-
gle. Toward the last part of the second
half he received shock which obliged
him to retire from the field and make way
for Felton-Taylor. "FelC' did not detract
any luster from Oakland's style of playing.
He fully kept up his end Of the game.
Whitehouse played the star game. His
goal-kicking was the best ever seen on the
grounds. His all-Tound playing was GER
tainly one of the features OF the contest.

looked as If the red stockings would make
touch without a struggle. But the
Berkeley boys all of a sudden took a brace
aud held Reliance up on their five yards

accomplished in game.
Hockheimer was called upon to use his

u
Fifteen hundred chrysanthemums of
all lines, shapes and colors, together with
not quite so many football enthusiasts,
were present at the third pigskin contest
between Berkeley and Reliance at the
Haight-street grounds yesterday after
noon.
1t had been heralded throughout the
city that the game was going to be corker,
and many people doubtless visited the
grounds with the expectation of witness
Ing remarkable display of football tao
tics. but they were terribly disappointed.
Berkeley tackled with defeat for the first
time this season, and was frightfully
downed. The oakland boys were too
much for theif adversaries. They out
elias sed them at every point.
AS the sun was hiding away behind the
western hills last night Buck Whitehouse
was kicking he last goal hich netted the
RelaDces thirty points. II was a hard
blow for the Tn iversity boys. They were
not only dele ated, hut whitewasheG. No
time during the struggle were their kickers
within stones throw of Relance's goal.
The Berkeley boys came TO the game
accompanied by the prettiest lasseS that
the old univ ersity could turn out. They
were all in h uge glee before The game was
called and open ly declared that they had a
cinch contest on their hands. Although
the claim was made that their eleven was
largely made up of substitutes. still in
accordance with true collegiate spirit they
were very confident of winning out easily.
The Oakland people said very little, but
when 1t came down 10 putting up their
hard coin TO back their silent opinions they
were at no time found wanting. They
were well aware that Captain Frick, Oak
lands popular eXpOnnder of Blackstone,
was out after the cham piOnship of the
coast and that he had ten able bodied
athletes back If him who were just as de-
Iermined to plant the penDant of "a over
in the precincts of Oakland as was Mr..
FIR OK.
The game turned out to be very one
sided affair. The overtime bay people
simply toyed with the schoIdsIics. At no
time during the scramblng did the latter
nave the least idea of capturing the cham
pionship.
They made it a point either to keep the
score down or else tally a touchdown, but
they succeeded in neither.
