BUSINESS NOT GOOD.
The Reason Why striT Could Not Pa

The Reason Why Striff Could Not Pay
Alimony.
J. NJ. Strif appeared before Judge
Hinkson yesterday to answer for con-
tempt of court in not paying TO his wife
alimony Of $50 per month and attorneys s
fees. under an order and decree made by
Judge Johnson. He pleaded that his
business was not bringing him sufficient
income to enable him to pay the amount
and keep up his business, and that II ne
had not been cited for contempt he would
have been able 10 pay up all arrears. lie
also had quite a large amount on his
books which he was unable TO collect.
The court. however, held that its order
had not been complied with. and COM
mitted him TO jail until it was paid.
The court read the defendant a lecture;
the money was needed TO support his
crippled child. and it was in arrears for
some time. II must be paid, and until
it was the defendant would stand in con-
tempt of Judge Johnson's decree. After
he was taken into custody, friends offered
to put uD a bond for week for Stritf,
within which time the money should be
paid.
The offer was denied, the court saying
that bond would not do for even an
hour. Shortly after Striff paid the money,
and the court made an order releasing
him from custody.

MRS. WILLIAM MEYER Is DESERTED.
A Sacramento Woman in Distress at
the Bay.
Her Husband Runs Away From Her
the Second Time In the
Big City.

The guests at the international Hotel
in San Francisco were treated to a sensa-
ton yesterday, according to the Bulletin.
That paper says that Mrs. William Meyer
of Sacramento was on the rampage in the
afternoon looking for her husband. Meyer,
the woman alleges, skipped out that
morning from the hotel, taking with him
$500 in coin all of the family wealth, and
left his devoted spouse TO wrestle with the
hotel bill and the cold world without a
cent of money.
Meyer and his wife left Sacramento on
Wednesday night. They were married
six years ago in st. Louis and soon after
the ceremony came to Sacramento. where
they have resided ever since. The couple
bought some property on the installment
plan and paid several hundred dollars
down on it.
Yesterday morning Mrs. Meyer went
out OF her room in the hotel for short
while, and when she returned Meyer had
taken his departure, baggage, money and
all. and Immediately the woman hied
herself to the wharveS to see whether she
could locate her fleeing hubby.
Sergeant Tom Mahoney undertook the
the woman learned that the man had
been expecting TO secure work in Stock
ton and had probably gone in that direc-
ton, or would go by the evening boat
The woman acknowledged that she had
not a cent to her name, and that all of her
worldly goods consist of two trunks now
at the International Hotel. She said that
her husband is not drinking man, nor
is he other than a steady and reliable
person. His only fault seems to be a
mania for running away and leaving his
wife. He took French leave of her once
before when the twain went to San Fran
cisco, and after a search covering several
days she located him in an interior town
and talked him into living with her
again. He promised to remain true to
her forever.
Mrs. Meyer lamented the fact that the
runaway did not leave half of the $500
with her, for then she would go home to
her folks.
"When we left Sacramento" said Mrs.
Meyer, 81 was suspicious of my husband,
for he put all of his clothes in his valise
and did not mix them up with the cloth
ing in the trunks.
Il think he has gone to Chicago, where
his folks live"

Unless course is provided where the

meeting OF the New York Yacht Cluo for

which. with the exception OF the follow
ing regarding Dunraven's protest regard
ing the measurements, has already been
published: ION Saturday September Z.
Lord Dunraven communicated TO the cup
committee his belief that the Defender
had sailed the days race immersed three
or four inches more than when she was
measured. Lord Dunraven stated that he
believed the change had been made With
out the knowledge of the Defenders own
ers, but IL must be corrected, or he would
discontinue racing. The cup committee
ordered a remeasurement On September
the yachts were marked as required by
Lord Dunraven; at the same sine they
were remeasured, with the result Of only
one-eighth OF an inch in low water mark
increase OF the Defender, and one-six4
teenth OF an inch in the ValSyrie As
the result varied the time allowance only
second or two. and in no way affected

Amounted OfficialS.

Chicago. Oct. 2I-Gov. Altgeld recently
appointed seven state mine inspectors, ana
today he summoned them before MN,
gave them their commissions ana then
made the following talk regarding theif
duties. The governor said:
THE mining laws of this state were en-,
acted for the protection of the weak ana
poor. The other, who is strong, can take
care of himself. These coal miners are
sometimes ignorant of their rights, always
poor and dependent. and cannot manllsst
their dissatisfaction with obJecuonable
conditions prevailing around the mines
without risking their jobs. You are, there
fore. appointed by the state TO do Tor them
what they cannot do for themselves. L
therefore insist that in inspecting mines
YOU do so without permitting the operators
or their representatives TO accompany
you Make your inspection thorough ana
Independent, and without their aid. After
YOU have done so, find out from the men
If there is any ground for complaint
among them.
"I further wish to say that there have
been entirely too many accidents, not that
there has been more within the past rev
years than formerly, but l mean to say
there were some accidents that should
have been avoided.

Kerr Hardie on Municipal Corruption.

Chicago, Oct. 24.-Keir Hardie. the Eng
fish socialist, and Frank Smith, NJ. T.,
were rendered a supper last night by the
Chicago socialists prior to their taking
final leave Of this city. 81 like America"
said Hardie. II have been here some
time, and have heard and read much about
the corruption of city councils, yet after
careful study I have come to the conclu-
sion that English and American city coun-
ellis find their way to the same hell. The
English aldermen and councillors work
in quieter way. 1 know a mayor who
turned his concern into a company so that
he could get contracts for municipal work
in England. l know common councilmen
who have relatives who simply represent
themselves when contracts involving
large sums of money are awarded by city
councils. 1t is the same in America,
though it is done more openly here Yet
they both travel the same way, to the loss
of the city they represent" Hardie
said he had found the socialists strong in
the United States, but they lacked organi-
cation. He predicted the downfall of the
Populist party after the coming presiden-
tial campaign
