PEOPLE HUMBUGGED,

Two Sharpers Do Up q Number of
san Jose Citizens.
SAN JOSE, March 17.-During the past
three weeks two sharpers claiming to be
agents for the Metropolitan Art School of
San Francisco have been bilking the peo-
pie of San Jose and the suburban dis
tricts. 1t has been their practice to
solicit trade for the above-named school,
which does not exist. They would guar
antee to enlarge photograph in crayon,
pastel or water colors for 80 cents, and a
handsome gilt frame would accompany
the photograph, making the total cost 81.
Their office was at room 81, Letitia build
ing, and the pictures were all to be COM
pleted in a week of the order.
Fifty residents of Berry essa paid the
necessary 80 cents, and as the pictures
were never enlarged they began to sus-
pect that they had been bilked. Late last
evening j. b. Thompson of that place
swore TO complaint before Justice q oss.
charging the men with obtaining money
under false pretenses, ana this morning
officers arrested Olaf Swenson, the man
who engaged them. The other men
could not be found. Several hundred
photographs which the men had OBJ
tained were found in a waste basket in
SWeuson's room. Swenson claimed he
was not responsible for the promises of
his agents, and was released on parole.

effort on the part of the State and city is
to have this title declared void. The rail-

Its title, and also sets up that there was

the city in 1864.
Referring to this statement, Senator
Stewart, who appears for the company,
says 1t was entirely satisfactory TO the

a much worse condition than at the be-

tory and scattered fashion, but the forces

are now fully 5000 Insurgents under
arms. They are in dozen or more de-
tachments, but are giving the Govern
ment no end of trouble. In many cases
the Spanish troops have been beaten back
with heavy loss. The most deplorable
feature OF the war is the pillaging and
burning. The insurgents have gained
confidence since the beginning of the
trouble, and matters in The eastern dis
triCt are in almost as bad condition as
during the war of 1868.
New leaders are springing up and by

BLUE SUNDAY AT ST. LOUIS.

lhe sabbath Association Creates Ter
ror In the Missouri Metropolis.
ST. LOUIS, March 17.-To-day was the
bluest Sunday St. Louis has ever had
within the memory OF the Oldest inhab-
liant. The Sabbath Association has had
many committees at work, and they
made many purchases in all saloons,
groceries, dry goods stores and haber-
dasher establishments that were open and
ready to sell. The work of the Sabbath
Association has put terror in the hearts
OF men who have hitherto scarcely
thought there is Sunday closing law on
the statute books. In consequence many
stores heretofore kept open on the Sab
bath day were closed. The sudden break
OF the butchers, grOcers, cigar dealers and
saloon keepers TO keep hoIy.the sabbath
drove many absent-minded persons to
their wits ends to secure the necessities
and IuXurles usually purchased on Sun
day. OfncerS OF the association say they
are making no aggressive crusade, in
spite OF the efforts OF some influential
men TO thWart their efforts. The result
OF the days work will be seen in the
number of warrants applied for by the
associations OF this place. Arrests and
convictions will follow in every case
where witnesses are able to prove an in
traction of the law.
