By those not informed they We're believed
to be twin brothers. They are of the same
height. their build is similar, their dress
alike, the style of the hirsute adornment OF
their faces is Identical and there is but
two years difference in their ages, Koerber
being the older man.
For the remainder of his stay OFT found
no greater pleasure than in visiting the
localities where Koerber is well known and
being mistaken for him. his greatest enjoy
ment arising from the popularity which he
enjoyed among the lady friends of Koerber
in his vicarious capacity.
Last month there was public installa-
ton of officers of the San Diego Lodge OF
Hermann's Sons, and Grand President OFT
went down to participate in the work. He
made an able address on that occasion,
but few knew whether he or Koerber was
the eloquent speaker. Koerber, in fact,
came in for the lions share of the honor
and congratulations, and this in part
played even on OFT for the latter's enjoy
ment of the friendship of Koerber's lady
friends and acquaintance during his pre-
vious sojourn.
During the last visit OFT and Koerber
were more together than ever and derived
much amusement from the mild sensation
which they created wherever they ap-
peared in company, their striking SINH
1arity being certain to attract immediate
attention.
Both entered fully into the spirit of the
dromio-like phase of the situation, and as
souvenirs of the Jolly times they had to-
gether they had themselves photographed
in various styles, each change serving to
more greatly emphasize their resemblance
to one another. One picture was taken in

During twenty-five years the several

597 90; burial expenses, 500, S04 95, and for
other assistance $6307, making a total of
S16S, 700 As. The aggregate of money on

house with revolver, and when that di-
version became monotonous he would lock
her out in the middle of dark night and
leave her to find shelter and succor at her
leisure and convenience.
Once during their visit to the Worlds
Fair at Chicago Mr.. Handley was suffering
from a severe attack OF cramps in the
stomach. His wife was dutifuliy applying
poultices, and when the hot filling thereof
happened to burn him he, according to the
wife's statements, rose up in bed and
struck her brutal and telling blow in the
breast. At other times he would curse her
and indulge in blood-curd]ing threats.
In the cross-complaint defendant charged
his wife with using vile language to him,
but his attorneys took occasion yesterday
to say that the allegations therein con-
tanned were false.
Since their marriage Mrs. Handley has
come into several thousand dollars worth
OF property, which the court YESTERDAY set
aside to her in lieu of alimony. Other
causes for domestic infelicity existed
which the attorneys very considerably for
bore bringing out.

discoursed sweet music while the guests
satisfied the demands of appetite. The
guests in goodly mum bers sat about a
horseshoe table, at the head of which sat
A. r. Morrison, who acted as POSTMASTER.
The menu served was a choice one, and
all did it full justice. After the needs OF
the inner man had been satisfied speeches
and toasts were in order.
Of these there were few set numbers, but
the impromptu speeches and sparkles of
wit which scintillated about the board
more than made up for any possible def
cheney.
J. Richard Freud of the class of rs spoke
earnestly on Higher Education and
Higher Politics." George G. Pardee of the
class of 70 responded to. the toast, 1T he
Alumnus in Politics." Frank M. Powers
of the class of 'S5 told of the duties of a
citizen in response. to "The University

''The Class of '75'' was responded to by

Suits Against the Police Begun in tho
United States Circuit Court.
The Chinese and the police are to have a
pitched battle in the Federal courts.
Hitherto the police have had all the best
of the argument and houses in Chinatown
have been entered and searched for lottery
games and gambling dens.
The Mongolians have come to the con-
clusion that they have a few rights on
their side, so yesterday Lee Vow, mer-
chant on Washington street, brought suit
in the United States Circuit Court agains t
Officers Cook. Joy, Cullinan, Hennesy,
Cooney and Fraber, the Chinatown SQUAD,
for breaking into his store in search of a
lottery game. He asks for $1,000 damages.
Wong Fling Jong is another merchant,
who resides at 1877 Jackson street. His
premises were broken into, as the police
thought gambling den was in full blast
there. Nothing was found and now the
Chine Sc wants the Circuit Court to award
him 5000 damages.

AS he was leaving the depot after his ar
rival at San Diego he was puzzled and sur
prised to have a perfect stranger accost
him in familiar way and ask him if he
was still in the same business. He sus-
pected the agreeable individual of being a
bunko-steerer, but readily responded in
the affirmative. as he has been engaged in
the jewelry business in San Francisco for
the past twenty three years.
Further conversation. however, con-
WINGED him that his cordial acquaintance
had mistaken him for resident of San
Diego, who bore remarkable resemblance
to himself. His first surprise was then
changed to one of curiosity regarding his
rival in good looks. What, then, was his
establishment when he came to install the
officers of the new lodge to find that one of
them, Hermann Koerber, was his counter
part, fact that had already led to much
confusion and amusement among the other
visitors from San Francisco He was
promptly introduced to his fraternal rela-

being alike not only in their physical

SCHNEIDER, THE "rENoE."

He Is Held to Answer Before the
Superior Court.
The preliminary examination of Jake
Schneider, the fence for the five boy
burglars who were held to answer before
the Superior Court by Judge Low on Tues
day, was held yesterday.
The boys were witnesses for the prose-
cution, and they made out strong case
against Schneider. Eddie McQuaid tes-
tilted that he gave Schneider gold watch,
which was stolen from house on Van
Ness avenue, to pawn. Schneider got SIS
on the watch, but told the boy he only got
50 so. Eddie out of the 81 SO gave Schnei-
der 80 cents, SO that the fence gained So
by the transaction. When the other bows
heard this testimony they became angry,
and each told story of articles they had
handed to him to pawn.
Judge Low held Schneider to answer
before the Superior Court in $4,000 bonds on
charge of receiving stolen goods.

!. His wife, Leonora Handley, was granted
a divorce yesterday afternoon, on the
ground of extreme cruelty, and her attor-

division of property, which is more than
equivalent to an alimony.
Detective Handley has been on the force
for ten years or more, and for some time
his special detail was to look after the lot
teries. He was looked on as good and
efficient officer, but those who knew him
best asserted that his domestic relations
did not reflect creditably on him. The. tes-
ti1nony in the divorce suit vindicated the
truth of that assertion.
