THE ANGEL STILL THERE,
Mr.. Wells Debts Could Not
Accomplish the Removal
of the Plaster.
The City Hall Dome Piece Belongs
to p. Degan and Is at Present
Engaged.

The City Hall angel is in state of un-
certainty as to her standing on earth. The
cruel fact was yesterday disclosed that she
is not the child of her creator. When this
sad tiding reached her she bore it heroicaliy.
No sign of grief could be discovered on her
handsome face. There was not tremor in
her pose, nor was there flicker of the torch
which she carries for the future purpose of
blazing the trail of rectitude for the weary
feet of the Solid Eight.
But so far as her future is concerned the
City Hall angel lets not wave of trouble
roll across her peaceful breast. Her proud
position on the dome of the City Hall is
assured regardless of the humiliation to
which she has been subjected, for the work
of transformation has begun and cannot
be retarded. Not even the relentless col
lector nor the persistent deputy sheriff can
undo nor hinder her evolution to higher
sphere.
The good angel was yesterday morning
relieved of the presence of the officer who
was holding her in custody for the benefit
OF the Patriotic Assurance Company, who
had agreed with her creator, +. Marion
Wells, to protect her during the transition
The angel is still with Kriemer Bros. 40
jessie street, undergoing transformation.
But the deputy is gone and he will not re-
turn, since he has learned that the object
OF his tender watching had been some time
since transferred from the possession of
her creator to the ownership of P. began.
The long, weary chase on the trail of
Sculptor Wells awaited his creditors
naught. To be sure, they seized the angel
and held her where she was. But what of
that? They couldn't take her away and
put her on the auction block like help
less, shackled slave-not for her creator s
debts.
This angel is all right" said the elder
OF the Kriemer brothers yesterday as he
patted Trilbyish foot with pride, "she
has an engagement here and she will stay
with us until we have fitted her to wear
the robes of peace. She doesn't belong to
F.. Marion Wells, and they can't collect
this plaster of paris beauty for his debts.
II she is insured the premium ought to
be paid. Ii it were her present owner s
debt and the Sheriff should come for her
with that proposition, then she would
have to pass. Otherwise the transforma-
ton continues"
And the worker in zinc turned to his
task on the foot, remarking, "there is only
one other like it in all San Francisco and
there 1t ls"-touohing reverently its mate.
Then he fell to humming, don't you
remember sweet Alice, Ben BoltP"

Fined for Shipping Salmon.

The California Fish Commissioners are
greatly pleased over the conviction of Stephen
Gordon, who was fined 800 recently in Stock
ton for shipping salmon from Bouldin Island
during the closed season. The deputy Com
missioners have great difficulty in convicting
those who make a business OF violating the
game laws, owing to the way in which the
friends OF the accused stretch the truth in tes-
tifying.

A glance at the bent frame and broken
glass lying in the bright light Of the

the lever of the powerful locomotive,
when back with jump, stream of sand
was pouring down on the rails beneath
the big driving wheels, and the little

The engineer knew when to stop now,

or two after him, but when the party
searched the woods in the bottom there
were none of the wreckers to ps found.
In the tim bers of the bridge, firmly fixed

all that its name implies. One of its laws
is that on all runs bloomers or knicker-
bockers shall be worn. and two mem bers
who disobeyed this rule recently met with
a punishment that they will net soon
forget.
Union park was the rendezvous for the
last run, and fifty members turned out.
The president, Mrs. Langdon, and the
captain, Miss Bunker observed two wo-
men wearing short skirts over their
bloomers.
Take the skirts off," ordered Captain
Bunker.
"Indeed we won't"
A crowd of about two hundred had col
lected to see the start. The r esident and
the captain held consultation, and then.
taking several strong g-armed members
with them, fell on the skirt wearers and
stripped tnem down to their bloom ers. \
''It was done in all seriousness" said
Mrs. Langdon. "The clubs rules are
made to be kept and not to be broken:
Why did we take the skirts off IN publtcf

''Where are you going. my pretty maid?"
II am not maiden, sill" he said;
For he was youth. with whiskers new,
Silken as e'er the wind blew through,
But he wore the bloomers, just the same,
That the wheeling girl has given fame
So the man who had asked the question
bold
Leaned his head against lamp post cold,
And he wondered, with his brain a-whirl,
How he should know boy or girl
In these forward tin-de-s steele days
OF trousered maids and youths with stays.
OF sudden lamp flashed in his eyes
Look out young fellow!'' he wildly cries,
AS he leaps to avoid the wheel.
''I'm not young fellow '' he heard her
squeal.
And then the man who again was sold
Leaned his head against the lamp post
cold.
