tramp his round IL he have but a single

Regardless of differing physical orga MIA

paid less adequately than any other class of

SUICIDED THROUGH SORROW
A Compact Between Two Girls Ia San
Francisco
One Killed Herself In January and the Other
Took Paris Green on the Eve Of
Her Harriage

NEW YORK, March 3O.-Mary Handel
81 years of age, Bohemian cigar maker,
committed suicide ct her home last night
by taking Paris green. 1t is thought that
the girl killed herself to fulfil the COM
pact which she had made with Barbara
Svec, who lived next door.
Barbara Svec committed suicide on jan
uary % last. Ever since the girl died
Mary Handel has been more or less de-
spondent. She was engaged to be married
to Joseph Svec. brother Of the dead girl,
and the date for the wedding had been
set for the coming Easter. Last Monday
her lover sent her money to buy her trous-
seau. She refused to take it and said :
What is the use Of getting. married?
We will postpone it for awhile"
Mary Handel went last night to the
cigar factory where she worked, and re-
ceived the money which was due her, and
also paid some due to other OF her friends.
She went to the house of one OF these
friends and gave her the money. Mary
Handel at that time seemed to be in good
spirits, but soon after that she became
sick and her mother inquired what was
the matter. She evaded the question. but
soon after became so Ill that her mother
called in DR.. Vamilleck. He found she
had taken Paris green. He also asked the
girl why she had taken the poison, and
she told him she was tired OF fife. Further
than this she would not talk. An ainbu-
lance was called from the Presbyterian
hospital. She was taken there and died
at 10 80 O'Clock.
Frank Handel. brother OF the dead
girl, knew of the intimacy which had ex-
listed between the two suicides. and said
last night that he believed his sister had
killed herself because OF compact she
made with the Svec girl.

Holcomb sent in his veto to the sugar

Legislature passed the bill over his head.
The Governor sent in long message in
which he discussed money taken by taxa
tion for such purposes. The following
sentences express the substance of his
message:
IL am unable to approve of this act for
the reason that, in my judgment. it is in
the nature of class legislation and of
doubtful constitutionality. Through it
under the form, of taxation, the sacred
rights of property of the many are in
!. vaded and their means taken to advance
the welfare of those only who are engaged
lin this industry"
-. The House took prompt action. and by
% vote of 6S to % passed the bill over the
ecveto. In the Senate the vote was equally
j. emphatic and the bill was passed over the

ARE THEY KLEPTOMANIACS?
Well Known Sacramento Women
Arrested for Shoplifting
Trunksful Of Bonnets and Hats Found In
Their Homes-A Prize Paris Bonnet
Brought Them to Grief

SACRAMENTO, March 30.-Mrs. How
ell Bdwell and Mrs. J. +. Farmer, two
well-known women, have been arrested
and charged with petty larceny, there
being four complaints lodged against
Mrs. Farmer and two against Mrs. Bid
well, with numerous Others to be heard
from. The discovery was made that these
women have been following a systematic
practice of shop-lfting for long period
of time and that their pecuations amount
to thousands OF dollars worth of almost
every Imaginable kind of valuable prop
erty. The matter has created an i'm
mense excitement in all quarters of the
city and is the talk of the town.
Last evening Mrs. M. M. Parkinson,
who conducts a millinery store. hearing
apprentices to open the door. The girl
did SO and informed her mistress that
Mrs. Farmer and Mrs. Bidwell we're in
the store and had called to procure hat
which one OF the ladies had left to be
pressed few days previous. Mrs. Park
inson directed the girl to give the article
to the ladies and collect so cents for the
work done. The girl was handed 81 in
payment and was compelled to leave the
ladies alone in the store while she pro
cured the change from Mrs. Parkinson.
While the latter was making the change
she heard noise In the store as though
something had been dropped into paper
bag. Her suspicious were aroused, and
after the ladies had departed she found
that one of her most valuable imported
I Paris bonnets had disappeared. Mrs.
Parkinson visited City Attorney J. Frank
Brown and related the story and askt
his advice. The official issued a sealcu
warrant and an officer was ordered to
serve it, In short time the policeman
returned and wanted to know what kind
of hat was wanted. and stated that there
was nearly hundred hats to pick from,
of all shapes and sizes.
This aroused the suspicious of the chief
detective and he made personal inspec-
ton of the premises and discovered per-
feet bonanza OF silverware, cutlery. valu-
able silk dress patterns, handsome purses
decorated with pure silver, twenty pairs
of ladies kid gloves. pieces of valuable
lace, bolts of silks and satins. fine shoes,
ribbons, hat plumes worth S. apiece. in
fact almost every conceivable article of
value that could be carried from store
without creating suspicion.
