THEY ARE NOT YET MARRIED
AIdie Critics and Nellie Decker In San
Francisco
Where q Cruel License Clerk Shakes His
Head and Says Them Nay-tioms
for tho Wedding

A dispatch was received from San
Francisco last night, which read as fol-
lows:
Aldie Critics. the 19-year-old youth VIII o
eloped with 15-year-old Nellie Decker
from Los Angeles. and came to this city
on the steamer Mexico. went to the mar.
riage department at the city hall today
and asked for sense. The girl was in
charge of tie stewardess of the Mexico.
who had telegram from Chief Glass Of
Los Angeles. saying that the parents Of
both had given their consent to the mar
riage.
The license clerk refused to issue the
license on the telegram, rs both were un-
der age. and in that case the law requires
the formal consent of the parents. either
personally or by affidavit. He advised the
couple to return to theii home and get
married as soon as possible
In view of the fact that the license has
been refused It is very probable that
the young couple will take the advice OF
County Clerk Curry and return to Los
Angeles and have the ceremony per-
formed.
As the parents of both are willing that
they should be- married the ceremony will
occur shortly after their arrival here.
1t was stated in the telegram to
Captain Hull that if the pair could not
be married to send the girl home and her
parents would defray all the expenses. so
this request will be complied with.
While Adde'S name was not mentioned in
the dispatch, he will not he far behind and
come marching home with his Nellie.

a clause in the charter by which the m u
nicipality reserved the right to buy the
roads at its discretion. In 1891 the citi-
zens concluded that it would be to their
advantage to make a new street railway
deal. Tne purchase price OF the system
was left to arbitration and 81. 500. 600 fixed
as the figures. However, instead OF buy
ing and operating the roads, the city set
about to make a deal with a new COM
pany. The city resold the franchise to
wealthy syndicate. requiring the pur-
chaser to pay the amount awarded by the
arbltIators to the old company, to sub.
stitute electric power for horses, to ex-
tend the lines under supervision OF the
city engineer, who in effect is made super
intendent of the roads. The new COM
pany pays into the city treasury per
cent on all gross receipts up to $l.000.-
600 year, 10 per cent between 81, 900. 600
and 81. 100000 Is per cont between 81. 500,
600 and 81, 900, 900 and % per cent on all
gross receipts above $3,0U0 600. In addi.
zion to this it pays an annual rental of
$500 mile for every mile of sing,e track
and $1,000 a mile for double trackage.
The company also gives twenty-five
tickets for 81, or six for 25 cents. while
eight tickets for % cents are available be-
tween $50 and 8 in the morning and 5
and $3.50 in the afternoon. School chill.
dren's tickets are ten for p cents. The
single fare is good all over the city.
This is running system of street rail-
roads on a little different basis tina in
practice in Los Angeles or aim ost any
other city in the United States. In
Toronto subsequent events have proved
that the new deal has proved both ad-
vantageous to the city and profitable to
the street railway company.
The one feature which the company
most strenuously objected to was tn low
fares, yet the adoption of this proved to
be their financial salvation. 1t was not
until the low rates went into effect that
the company began to roll up big profit.
An instance of the effect of low rates
on street car lines was exemplitieu on the
roads of New York. For a long
time the Manhattan Elevated Railroad
protested against the demand of
the people of an allday-rate of cents.
1t was claimed that 10-cent rate between
the hours of 8 a. m. and 8 p. III. was all
that saved the company from bankruptcy.
However, the will of the people pre-
vailed. and ''Manhattan'' was never a
sure divideno-paying stock until then.
Toronto method to our street railways |
and water system. particularly the latter, |
might be looked into with good results.

A YOUTHFUL BURGLAR

He Is Arrested at Santa nonica by Detective
Steele
Garfield Bedney, colored boy, about
12years Of age. was arrested at Santa
Monica yesterday for burglary by Detect
i've Steele. Bedney. another colored boy
named Will Alexander, and a white boy.
ne me unknown, broke into the barn of
Dan Mcfarland about four mouths ago
and stole valuable saddle. They dis
posed of it to man in the western part
of the city and went to Santa Monica.
Alexander was arrested recently on sew
eral charges of burglary and bound over
for trial in the superior court, and is now
in the county Jail.
The Bsdney boy has lived with his
mother at the beach. When arrested by
MIR. Steele he confessed having taken the
saddle. AS Alexander was already ar
rested the officers could not touch hi M
and had to return with but the one. Mr..
Mcfarland will probably prosecute the

A LESSON FROn TORONTO

II is not often that we have to go across
the line and learn thing or two from
our Canadian neighbors. For the most
part the situation is reversed, and we
play the part Of schoolmaster and the
Canadian the apt pupil. In one instance,
however, they offer an object lesson which
might be learned by heart by the city
fathers of every American city.
a" The case in view is that of the street
railways of the city OF Toronto. The
original charter of its street railway was
granted in 1861 and for a term OF thirty
years. AT that time, like every other city
seeking such Improvements. almost any
concession could be obtained by the com.
pany seeking the charter.
We have seen the same situation in al
most every city in the United States.
Particularly is this true of street RAILWAYS
and electric lighting plants. The am
bilious young city feels the need of such
improvements. the people demand them
and the advantages thereof are full set
forth. While the clamoI is on and the
people are worked up to the proper pitch
a company steps in and makes an offer.
Of course the company asks n charter on
most favorable terms; in fret, they make
it a point 10 ask more than they expect
to receive. A few of the more cautions
citizens noint out the Objectionable fea-
lures in the charter as asked. Sometimes
compromise is made. but IN nearly
every instance the people, in their anxiety
70 secure an improvement which will
tend to boom their city, grant fran
chises on most favorable terms to the
projectors Of the scheme.
Perhaps Toronto was quite as anxious
to secure a system of street railways as
would be any American city under the
same conditions. However, the Toronto
ty fathers were shrewd enough to insert

romance: it might equally we'll be called
a whimsical conceit. An English noble
woman, to whom Heaven has denied a
son, has raised her three daughters as
nearly after the manner of boys a might
be; and when ut home and in their own
park (where the scenes are laid), they
always wear mems attire. AS the play
begins about the time these young wo-
men arrive at marriageabe age, and as
they have recently become acquainted
with some young noblemen while visiting
'in their frocks" at country house, the
possibilities may he seen to bs particu-
larly promising. In the hands of a less
capable and gifted company, however,
the Amazons would not be brilliantly
glttering success. 1t suffers distinctly in
contrast to either of the other plays given
