Angeles. do not mean to say that these
ladies exclusively come under that cate
CORY; on the contrary, there are scores of
others who could occupy the throne with
dignity and with credit to this city. Yet
can imagine these ladies sitting on the
pedestal of honor, surrounded by gor-
geously attired ladies and gentlemen, and
being able to say, She is Queen in
deed
''The idea of The Herald to inaugurate a
voting system was met with the hearty
approval of the people of the city," the
lady continued. "There is some satisfac-
ton if one can show ones esteem for a
friend, and even if the Fiesta committee
should ignore the wish Of the citizens as
expressed by the ballots the ladies who
have received the votes can always look
back to the event as a high compliment
paid them by their friends and fellow cit
liens.
"They should not be dissatisfied if some
other lady should be crowned, and no
jealous feelings should possess them be-
cause another has been selected, for these
ladies have been favored above all others
in having received public expression of
confidence and admiration"
The views expressed by that lady are
shared by majority of the people. The
list OF votes proves that fact. Daily
the number of coupons received by The
Herald increases, and the nearer the solu-
ton of the contest is reached, the greater
will become the interest in the voting.

This communication was pleasant sur
prise to the merchants, as it proves that
San Francisco will not only be represented

Fire Rages.
Twelve Thousand Acres Are
Already Burned Over.
THREE LIVES LOST.
A Herd of 2,7OO Fat Cattle Are
in Danger.
If No Rain Comes $4,000 Acres
Will Burn Over.
THREE LIVES LOST.

Crown POINT, Ind, Oct. 28.-Should
no rain fall in the next twenty four hours
and the high winds continue today, the
southern portion of Porter county and
part of Jasper, consisting of $4,000 acres,
will be heap of ashes. Near Koutz,
three lives are reported lost and one man,
Jonah Hole, was fatally burned. The
names of the dead are unknown.
Already $4,000 acres have been burned
over, and the fire is spreading rapidly.
People living at Baum's Bridge. four
miles from the flames, are preparing to
move.
Thousands upon thousands of tons of
hay were consumed last night and this
morning, and $150,0OO worth of fatted
cattle, owned by Nelson Morris of Chi
cago, are in great danger. The herd of
2,700 is now being driven south.
Bridges over the river near Sandy
Hook were burned like paper. No esti-
mate of the damage can be made but it
will roach easily $4,000 to $4,000 if not
much more.
Five miles east of Koutz another fire
is raging, but not of SO much importance.
Farmers for ten miles around are form
ing parties TO protect their homes. The
fire was caused by sparks from an engine.

Saturday night at the close of business

by Miss Kate Adams as her successor in

Miss Cook had no political ''pull"

them as my counsel"
''You cannot discharge them, Mr.
Holmes" answered Judge Arnold: "That
is for the court, aud if they withdraw
from this case, they will be punished. :"
"If' continued Holmes, his tones trem-
ulous, 'if your honor will give me until
tomorrow to secure additional counsel
we will have no more debate, Mr..
Holmes; the matter is decided"
The examination of jurors was about to
be proceeded with when Shoemaker
again arose and stated that the prisoner
absolutely forbade them from represent
ing him in the case, and said he
(Holmes) would examine the jurors and
witnesses himself.
Judge Holmes said he would permit
Holmes to question the jurors if he so
desired while counsel considered the
question of their proceeding.
Holmes armed himself with pencil
and paper and Enoch Turner, the
first juror, was turned over
to him for examination. He
had already stated in answer to Dir.
Graham that he had formed an opinion
in the case but that he could neverthe-
less try it according to the evidence
Holmes began with the surprising
queries: "Mr. Turner are you married
msn? Are you physically we'll? Are
you in condition to serve in this case
without delaying it?"
After several more questions, Holmes
challenged the juror peremptorily.
Messrs. Rotan and Shoemaker then de-
clared they felt obliged TO withdraw
from the case regardless of consequences
and left the room.
Holmes asked for a continuance until
tomorrow, but the judge wouldn't grant
it. Holmes wanted TO consult with Law
yer Moon.
At Las p. N. the twelve jurors had
been selected, and the court then took
recess until p. u. Lawyer Moon de-
clined to participate in the case unless
continuance was granted, and as Judge
Arnold declined to do this, Holmes will
have to act as his own lawyer.

But Thieves Got Money.
There was much excitement in society
circles for a while Sunday morning,
when the startling rumor went round
that Mr.. Walter Burgess, president of
the Sans Pareil dancing club had
been robbed of his dress
coEt by a bold and especially bad
burglar.
This, however, somewhat subsided as
anxious inquirers learned it was only his
overcoat and a sacque coat which he
wears or did wear about StansfieId's
drug store
People who had feared that without
the presidents dress coat, the first Sans
Paren party could not be opened with
the proper eciaf, felt much relieved
when Mr.. Burgess assured them that his
dress suit was carefully put away in the
safe
Beside Mr.. Burgess two coats, neither
of which, by the way, were his best
ones. the burglars got about $50 in
stamps and money
Tne burglars got in (if they had taken
the dress coat it would have been per-
fectly proper for onco to say an entrance
was effected, but they just got I'M through
the rear window of the front room, near
the prescription case, the pane of the
lower sash of the window having been
cut so as to admit a hand sufficiently to
slip the catch and let the upper sash
down from the top.
The glass does hot show whether
the cut was made with a
twenty-four carat diamond or an
ordinary glass cutter, but with Bertillon
like discernment the police have discov-
cred that II must have been a boys hand
which let down the sash, because the
hole was small. As a matter of fact
probably some of the police tried to put
their own hands through the aperture in
the glass.
The burglar or burglars replaced the
window sash as they found it and went
out at the door in most respectable
manner.
They may have been even eligible to
wear dress suits, since no liquors are
missing and the packages which they
must have overturned in getting in had
all been replaced.
