Last Man Accepted is Samuel F. Dutton. q

Difficulties Iuvolved-Southern Pacific
searchers Find Another Cache of Gold.

have Themselves Been Robbed-TroubIes
Thicker in the Case of j. c. Davis.
San Francisco. Aug. 29.-The work of
completing jury to try Theodore Dur
rant. was ended today by the accept
ance Of Samuel F. Dutton, a wholesale
stationer. Both sides joined in a re-
quest for an adjournment until Mon
day. The court granted the request.
Monday morning the case will be open
ed by District Attorney Barnes. His
address is expected TO cover the entire
case. He had at first intended to ask
for two extra jurymen as a reserve,
but this idea was abandoned owing 10
the difficulty of obtaining twelve ju-
rors and the uncertainty of the law.
Another cache of gold stolen from
the Southern Pacific train near Swingle
last October was unearthed today. To-
days discovery of coin was sc. $50 which
makes the total amount recovered SIS
600. The money was found at some dis
lance from the spot where Bandit
browning said it was buried. 1t had
evidently been hidden in a new spot
by those who first found the stolen
treasure The searchers now believe
that they will find the greater portion
or the amount originally stolen which
was $4,000. 1t is thought that the two
tramps or others who found the treas
ure were unable to carry IL all AWAY.
The attorneys for J. c. Davis. the
young forger of Rochester, arrested for
passing fraudulent New York drafts
on local merchants, today presented
a four thousand dollar bond in the SUI
perior court and an order for the re-
lease of Davis was signed The police
heard of the proceedings and arrested
Davis upon new charge. They main
tain that the bond was insufficient.
Marie Burroughs, the actress, was
today granted divorce in the superior
court from her usband, Louis F. Mas
sen. on account of the latter's unfaith-
fulneSS.

RED TABBY CATS IN LONDON.
Described by "A Milwaukee Lady Who
saw Them.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel
A Milwaukee lady who has recently re-
turned from abroad says that one Of the
most interesting exhibits which she saw
in Europe was the National Cat Show OF
England. which was held at the Crystal
palace London, in which about seven hum
dred cats were shown. "The decided fea-
ture Of the exhibition" she said, was
the number Of superb red tabbies. togeth-
er with a fine assortment Of pure blacks,
smolle-colored cats. and cats with that
peculiar tone of glossy coat known as cat
blue. The efforts of the English cat breed
ers this past year have been blue and
black cats. In the opinion Of many ex-
perts, a black cat without any markings
whatever Of white Is the most perfect va
riety that rs known, and IL Is proof OF tbs
appreciation OF this that certain dishonest
people pluck the white hairs out OF a cat,

evolution of trousers from the tunic Of
the ancients but the attempt must be UNI
successful for the two garments are abb
solutely distinct in kind. Miss Celia Lo-
gan holds that the fig leaf developed sue
cessively into the bearskin, tunic, tights,
knee breeches and trousers. The truth IS
that trousers probably were first intro
duced as a brilliant discovery by some
ancient. In fact ii is almost certain that
trousers we're first worn as a special form
of costume by persons who rode horse
back. When they got off their horses they
resumed their flowing robes. it was soon
found that trousers were better adapted
than togas for quick movements of the
legs, and when the barbarians overran
Rome their legs were encased in trous-
ers. In the pictures by Roman artists
of these conquerers lin which there is
probably no effort at fiattery the trousers
are represented as most unbecoming gar
ments, being very wide about the knees
and gathering at the ankles. The rest of
their clothing was also ungainly, and con-
sisted of shirts, easy bots and perhaps
a scanty mantle on the shoulders. 1t is
difficult to understand why such a hid
eous costume was worn. Even that Of
Robinson Crusoe, whose opportunities for
was elegant in comparison. His clothing
consisted almost entirely of furs-fur coat,
trousers and cap.
The trousers used by the ancents for
horseback riding probably closely resem-
bled the divided skirts that women now
aspire to wear when riding on horseback
civilization the circumference of the trou-
sers legs diminished steadily, until a few
years ago III was the fashion for men to
wear two cylinders so tight that they
could only be put on with the assistance
of a second person. For this reason they
were worn only by young men who could
afford Wallets. Since then the style has
eased up a bit, and man may now be
fashionable without the aid of valet.
Men have tried over and over again
to make trousers beautiful, but always
without success. Large legs or small legs.
creases or no creases, stripes of every
size and hue, all these devices have been
equally Intellectual. Trousers are ire
trievably unbeautiful.
One chief objection Is the fact that they
insist on bagging at the knees. Men have
tried to avoid this by employing contriv-
ances designed to keep the trousers
stretched when not in use but this reme-
dy was only a partial one, for II may be
laid down as an axiom regarding trousers
that once bagged always bagged. Men
have also tried to prevent bagging by
hitching their trousers up when they sit
down. or by not sitting down at all. but,
excellent as these methods may have been
in theory, their practice was defeated In
each instance by forgetfuiness.
1t would, OF course. be impossible to
represent or describe IN a small compass
every variety OF trousers that have been
worn by mankind. Enough has been said
TO give the reader to understand that
fiokleness in respect Is not confined 10
women.
