Oakland the Scen9 Of Another Romantic
LeVe Story as Told by the
Happy Groom

OAKLAND, April IS Sunday evening
Miss Sadie Raymond, tbe daughter OF a
wealthy rancher OF PENIS Grove. near
Oakland, eloped with L,G. Alves, a clerk
of this city. The young husband said
last EVENING" ee..t
Yes, l suppose that there is great of
comment over our action. Sadie and /
have been in love for some time. and as
we could not be married any other way
we decided to run Off We will leave
Oakland for Los Angeles in the morning,
and expect to have delightful honey
MOON
Miss Raymond has been the object of
Alves' burning heart throbs for some
little time, but as he was only q clerk in
San Francisco clothing establishment
and she the heiress of several broad acres
of Contra Costa county real estate, the
said throbs had to be suppressed except
on several occasions. These events, how
ever, grew so frequent until the pater
familias became aware of the visits and
forbade him the house.
Sunday afternoon Alves paid visit to
PENIS Grove, and the clopement was the
result The father was close behind
them. however, when they arrived at the
depot. Defiant at first, the lovers at last
concluded to listen to his commands, and
the prospective bride was escorted to her
home. Later, the eager Alves returned
with horse and buggy. and, like young
Lochinvar, carried the dalnsel off. AS
there was no train at this hour of the
night. they were forced to drive to Oak
land, and spent the night with Il friend
living at Berkeley. Early Monday morn
ing they were married by the Rev. Mr..
Jones OF the Baptist Church. and are now
en- route to the sunny south.

TOLD in HER DELIRIUM
Tragic Utterances of a Mad Woman
In Denver
Murders In the Half World at Denver to Be
Investigated by a Jury.
Sad Story

DENVER, Colo, April 16.-The 1iend-
ish crimes of the Market street stranger
will be rehearsed in the Criminal Court,
beginning tomorrow
Richard DeAIady will be placed on trial
for the murder of Lena Taper. Whether
or not this Frenchman is guilty of the
murders will be decided by jury.
The series of murders of fallen women
and the successful manner in which the
stranger eluded capture has made the
case celebrated. The District Attorney S
Office claims to have startling evidence
that will prve as conclusively rs is posi-
b e by circumstaatial evidence that De-
Mady at least straneled the first victim.
A tragic feature OF the, case that may
play an important figure in the trial is
| the information gathered from the rawlings
of De Mady's beautiful sister, Madame
Fouchette, who suddenly became a
maniac several weeks ago. 1t is claimed
that she lost her mind brooding over her
brother arrest. She was taken to the
county hospital and detectives have spent
hours listening to her demented talks.
At times she would stand for hours,
her hands grasping the bars of her room,
and her long golden hair streaming al
most to the floor, and then she would
often break out in denunciations OF De-
Mady's accusers and talk of the crimes.
At other times the ghost of one OF the
strangled women would seem to appear
TO her and she would suffer the widest
delirium Whether or not the detectives
have learned anything tangible from her
is not known.
The trial will probably occupy about

the inky darkness with terrible rapidty,

A SINGER IN TROUBLE
The Charge Of Grand Larceny Awaits q
Professional

Profess ional
SANFRANCISCO, April 16.-A war
rant, which charges grand larceny, is
waiting here for Frank Whitney. pro-
fessionai singer. Whitney has had bad
luck, both on the opera and variety
stage, but has proven himself an artist in
other lines. Two.women are looking for
him more earnestly than the police, one
of them being Mrs. A. S. Berger and the
other Miss Laura Hull. The charge is
that Whitney stole enough from each OF
these women to make presents to the
other. One day he moved out of
Mrs. Berger's house, during her alb
sence, and left note saying he could not
be back until midnight. That was week
ago. but he has not yet returned. Whit
ney has been giving Mrs. Berger presents.
Miss Hull identified in these presents
articles she has lost, while Mrs. Berger
recognized in the presents that had been
given Miss Hull, her property stolen from
her house.

CHICAGO, April l6.N it is police
men on bicycles. Tile old-fashioned
horse will be relegated to his stall for
while, and the non-eating, simpler bicy :
Gle will be used by number of Lincoln
Park officers. That much was settled by
the commissioners, but the grave ques-
tion as to whether the up-to-date police
men should appear in knickerbockers or
tie down the fiappingN bottoms of his old
fashioned trousers was left on open ques-
ton. Long stockings and short trousers
were evidently in favor. and the startling
innovation of full-rigged bicycling police
men seems likely to be all accomplished
fact. The bicycles WERE ordered to be
bought and the cycling officers will begin
practicing at once.

CHICAGO TO THE PRESIDENT.

The list of names of the business men
of Chicago who wish Mr.. Cleveland to
come to Chicago that they may thank
him for his enmity to the silver dollar
is a curious mixture, says the Far
merS' Voice.
OF cours the list contains the
names of prominent bank presidents,
of the editors of gold organs, of men
who belong to the creditor class and
of a number of respectable nobodies
who do not know enough about the
financial question to occupy their
minds two seconds. 1t is notable,
however, that there is a total absence
of the names of merchants who do a
cash business. They have no interest
in compelling people to pay a n dol
lar debt with a two dollar dollar. They
sell their goods for what they are
worth, take current money for them,
and that ends the matter with them.
But the large wholesale houses that
have debtors all over the country and
the retail houses that have debtors all
over the city want 200 cent gold dol
lars and are anxious to fatter MI.
Cleveland for his efforts to limit our
currency to that kind of a dollar. In
the list, however, we notice the names
of some prominent railroad men. The
railroads are head over heels in debt,
and it would at first thought seem
absurd that a representative of a debt
enslaved corporation should wish a
dollar that is worth more than 100
cents. But it will not seem so strange
when we remember that these roads
are owned by Wall Street and that
Wall Street is madly in love with the
dishonest, high price dollar. But
representative business men of Chicago
who once thought that the demone-
tization of silver was the proper thing,
are not among those who invited MI
Cleveland to Chicago. They have
learned two things: One is that fin
ancial legislation hurts business inn
mensely and the other is that the ma
jority of the people want silver. The
leaven is working.

pounds of coffee, 50, and went home
happy with So. rs in my pocket for the

sold it for $22 so; paid my taxes,
$22 25, and have a quarter left. They
tell me I can get -four and frock and
sugar and shoes for half I paid then,
but it pears to me I haint got the half.
I've about made up my mind to invest
this quarter in United States bonds and

WHERE THE MONEY KINGS LIVE

According to a statistical article in
Chambers Journal, we have in this
country seventy citizens whose aggre-
gate wealth amounts to nearly So ,O00,-
OOe, 900, giving an average Of 81, 500. 600
to each person. One estate is returned
at $3.50. 600, 600. Five individuals are
rated at 800, 600, 600; six at$5O, 600, 600;
six at $40, OOO, 600; four at $35, 600, 600;
thirteen at $50. 600, 600; ten at $25, OOO,-
600; four at $22. OOO, 900 and fifteen at
$50, 600, 900.
Besides these seventy big fortunes,
there are fifty other persons in the
eastern States worth over $40, OOO, 600
each. Pennsylvania has sixty, three
millionaires, worth in the aggregate
$500, 600 $1,000. Sixty persons in three
New York villages are worth $780,
600, 600. Boston alone has fifty families
whose wealth amounts to SO, 600, 900
each. Chambers Journal says:
We have nothing to compare with
such individual cases of wealth in
Great Britain. Baron Rothschild and
Lord Overton each left about $17, OOO,-
900; the late Lord Dudley left $40, OOO,-
600; the late Duke of Buccleugh, esti-
mated to be the richest ScOtchman.
left estates valued at $50, 900, 900. One
living English duke is valued at $50.
600, 600 and another at $40, 900, 900, but
not many names could be added to
these to place against the above list of
American fortunes in the United King
dom whose incomes from business
profits were returned as over $3.50, 900
a year. In 1886 there were only seven
teen estates which paid probate duty
on 81, 25O.DOO each.
These hre bewildering figures. IF
wealth Continues to concentrate in the
hands of a few in the East for another
generation as it has done in the past
the southern. and western States will
be mere provinces, and the politics.
legislation, commerce, Industry and
society of the entire country will be-
dominated by afew' hundred families
IN several of the New England and
middle States. Are we soon to reach
a point where a few money kings will
elect Presidents and Congress and
shape the destinies' of the nation with
all the absolute power of a despotism2
But will this concentration of wealth
continued We cannot believe it. Con
dltions have changed in the past and
future.

appointed by the legislature would END

''Thus it is clear that the Legislature
of 1885, repealed the law of 1883 for
the express purpose to make justices

flying the time in which justices may

that every man appointed or elected
