HIS BENEFACTOR'S WIDOW.
Matt Mcdonald Charged With Trying
to Wrong Her.
lie Is Arrested for Embezzlement.
Trouble About Nursery on
Hampshire Street.

Matt Mcdonald, nurseryman at Twenty
fourth and Hampshire streets, appeared in
Judge Campbell's court yesterday to an
swer to the charge of misdemeanor embez-
element.
The complaining witness is Mrs. George
Long, the widow of McDonald's s former
partner. 1t came out in the evidence and
in the argument of counsel that something
of more Importance was involved than the
charge of embezzling $40 against the de-
fendant.
Mrs. Longs husband about three years
ago invested $500 in starting the nursery.
Mcdonald joined him in the enterprise,
but as he had no money it was agreed that
he should get his board and 81 80 per week,
and the balance for his labor would be
placed to his credit till it amounted to
$500, to make him share equally in the
partnership.
The business was carried on in this way
for two years, when Mr.. Long died Nc
Donald at once assumed entire control of
the business, and when the widow sug-
&c geestssd tn the necessity of applying for letters
her he would attend to all that.
The widow was forced to support her.
self; and as she could not get any money
or satisfaction from Mcdonald, she applied
for letters of administration of her hus-
bands estate two or three weeks ago.
She followed this step by having Nc
Donald arrested for embezzling $40 belong
ing to her husband. She declares that $500
is unaccounted for, and there will probably
be more, which Mcdonald must have used
for his own benefit
There was a heated argument between
the attorneys, in which Mcdonald s attor-
ney asserted that the prosecution was at
tempting to force his client to settlement
by dragging him into the Police Court.
Prosecuting Attorney Enos took hand
in the argument. He said although the
prosecution was represented by an attorney
he could not keep silent. He said there
was palpable attempt on the part of the
defendant to do wrong to the widow of his
benefactor, and he could not find words
strong enough to condemn such conduct
when it had been shown that she was not
in the best of health.
The Judge decided to continue the case
till Friday, when he would render his de-
cision.

WATERS In OPEN REVOLT.
Strike in the Kitchen Of the Mirabeau
Hotel.
The Police Sent For, but Their Services
We're Not Required-IIungry
Guests Kept Waiting.

The colored walters at the Hotel Mira
beau, corner of Ellis and Leavenworth
streets, performed what they considered a
mastery stroke of diplomacy last evening,
but they were outwitted and had to beat a
hasty retreat.
Mrs. Shockin has been for the past three
or four months the lessee of the hotel and
it has recently been rumored that there
would be change. The wages due certain
walters were not forthcoming at the usual
time, and fearing that if the hotel changed
hands they might not be paid their wages,
they decided upon doing something des-
perate to force the landlady to pay up.
The plot, for such it was, was carried
into effect between 6 and o'clock last
night. The guests had all assembled in
the dining-room and patiently waited for
the soup, but no soup came-at least not
for considerable time.
The walters, twelve in number, waited
till the cook had all his dishes ready, and
when he told them to hurry up with the
soup they with one voice refused and de-
clared themselves on strike. The cook
stormed and raved but the walters were in
exorable. UNLESS we get our wages" they
said, 1--WE will not wait on the tables and
won't allow any one else to do So"
The cook summoned Manager Terry and
the walters delivered their ultimatum.
Mr. Terry sent off messenger in hot haste
to the Central police station for assistance,
and before his request could be complied
with two other messengers hurried into the
station imploring haste, as the walters were
lnslstent and the guests were getting mad
with hunger.
Policemen Coleman, Smith and De Blois
were detailed to go to the hotel and throw
out any intruder pointed out by the mana
ger. When they got there they found that
the mutinous walters had beaten mastery
retreat and were nowhere to be seen. So
they returned to the station.
The hungry guests had the pangs of hum
ger appeased after waiting for over an hour,
wondering all the time what caused the
unusual delay
The trouble has been cansed by two
men, said Mr.. Terry last night, whose
wages were few days overdue, and they
induced the others to go on strike with
them tonight. The inconvenience was
trifling.'

THE ENGINEERS TROUBLE.
They Are Designing a Solution of the
Difficulty.

D1fncuIty.
The troubles between the engineers and
the Southern Pacific Company have finally
assumed phase which promises peace at
least. The various conferences held during
the past two weeks between the men and
the officers of the company have at no time
developed sentiment among the former
which would indicate a disposition to
strike. At least this is the statement of
one of the engineers who is in position to
know.
While these meetings were in progress
proposition was made to the engineers
that was finally accepted by them. 1t was,
briefly stated, that they should formulate
plan by which certain things required by
the company should be complied with, and
this the officials stated they were ready to
accept. This is the work upon which the
engineers are now engaged.
In their complaints they stated that by
the read iustment proposed by the COM
pany some of the men were affected to a
harsh degree. The company's officials
responded that specific retrenchment in
expenses was required in the operation of
the system, and that it was not the desire
of the company in putting this retrench-
ment into effect that the burden should be
unevenly distributed, or that it should
bear too heavily upon few. 1t was sug-
gested that the men themselves, being
familiar with the work, could achieve the
desired result in a manner more acceptable
to them than the plan proposed by the
company, and as both sides agreed to this
the plan is now being perfected.
The utmost good feeling has character
lied all the meetings, and there has been a
disposition on both sides to make all posi-
BILE concessions.

The Peculiar Results Which Follow
New York Child's Indulgence.
Emma Zinoerman, 4-year-old
girl of Bath Beach, which is now q
part of the city of Brooklyn, has one
of the strangest Affections on record.
The little one cannot eat anything
sweet like a piece of candy, or pie,
or fruit without becoming blind for
three days. Her remarkable CON-
plant. it is said, has so far baffied the
skill of the physicians She is now
under the care of New York special
ist, but he has not been able as yet
to give her any relief. While play
ing with some of her little compan-
ions three days ago Emma ate piece
OF candy, and as a result spell of
blindness was brought on, from which
she has not fully recovered. 1t was
about year ago that Emma's disease
first manifested itself. She became
suddenly blind, and then, after three
days, as mysteriously recovered her
sight. Over her eyes came flmy
white covering that gradually in
total blindness after which it began
to grow more transparent, and finally
went away.
After the girl had been afflicted
with several of these spells special
ist was engaged. He was at first ut
terly at loss to account for the dis
appearance of sight but by a series
1t
strated that sweetmeats were the ex-
citing cause of the blindness. Since
then, al though great care is exercised,
Emma once in while forgets the
dire results that follow the eating of
forbidden dainties, and pays the
penalty of her rash thoughtlessness
by losing her sight for seventy two

All Sorts OF System, Have Been i'm Use
From Time Immemoriai.
The art of rendering artificial aid
to the IN emory by ass ocia ting in the
minds things difficult to remember
with those which are easy of recollec-
ton is said to have originated with
the Egyptians. The first person to
reduce it to a system was, accord
ing to Cicero, the poet Simonides,
who lived 500 b. C. HIS plan is known
as the topical. or locality plan, and
was in substance as follows: Choose
large house, with a number of diff
ferently furnished apartments in it.
Impress upon the m ind carefully all
that is noticeable in the house, so
that the mind can readily go over all
its parts. Then place a series of ideas
in the house; the first in the hall, the
next in the 81 tting-room, and so on
with the rest
Now when one wishes to recall
these ideas in their proper success
sion. commence going through the
house, and the idea placed in each de-
partment will be found to readily re-
cur to the mind in connection with il.
1t is related that the mnemonic
plan was first suggested to the poet
by tragic occurrence. Having been
called from banquet just before the
roof of the house fe III and crushed all
the rest of the comp any, he found on
returning that the bodies were so mu-
tilated that no individual could be
recognized; but by remembering the
places which they had severally oc-
cupied at the table. he was able to
identify them. He was thus led to
notice that the order of places may
by association suggest the order of
things.
