5000, 900, 600 AND SEVENTY TITLES
Fortunes of Golden Girls Who Mar
ried Noblemen.

That new impetus has been given
the fashionable fad of marrying a
title has clearly been shown by recent
events. Miss Anna Gould is now a
French countess, and Miss Mary Lei
ter, the far-famed Chicago beauty,
will soon become the wife of the Hon.
G. Cu1zon, M. p, prospective heir to
the title of Lord Sarsdale. Miss
Letters father is millionaire several
times over, and it is not improbable
that as the Hon. Mrs. Curzon Miss
Letter will take with her to England
something like three millions Of good
American dollars. Anna Gould's for
tune is estimated to be fifteen Millions
These facts bring up the question
with startling emphasis-How much
money have titled American girls
taken away with them to foreign
shores? A laboriously compiled list
Of all the marriages of Ameii an
women to titled men for the u st
thirty-five years shows that at le.;
two hundred millions have gone ava,
from these shores in the period.
Eighty per cent of this is represented
in the marriages OF the past six years.
This shows how the habit is growing

ELECTRIC TANNING.

The capabilities of that marvellous
fluid, energy, or condition, whichever
it may be, which we use so freely and
know so little about, seems absolutely
infinite. 1t is now employed for tan
ming leather. 1t is more especially
valuable in coloring leather, which,
by its aid is accomplished with won
derful rapidity and effectiveness. The
skin is stretched over a metal slab,
and the coloring mixture is then
poured over it. A current of low pow
er is sent through the metal. The
pores of the leather are relaxed and
opened, and the dye is absorbed into
them by capillary attraction. A thin
hide is colored completely through it's
substance in a very short space, a
thicker hide requiring a proportionate-
ly longer time

until the train has reached trestle
in the darkness; then they crawl over
the tender, cover the engineer and
fireman and compel them to stop the
train. This done, they return to the
express-car and either terrify the mes
senger into opening the door, or blow
it open with dynamite, when the
booty is at their mercy. The occu-
pants Of the passenger-cars are un-
aware of what is happening until the
affair is over.
Lieutenant knight suggests that
the makeup of trains should be
altered by placing the engine and the
express car at the two ends of the
train. If this were done, the robbers
would have to traverse the whole
length of the train after they had
stopped the locomotive before they
could reach the plunder they sought,
and in that long journey they would
run no small risk of resistance by the
train crew. And if they let the loco
motive run ON, and attacked and
uncoupled the express car at the rear
end Of the train, an automatic alarm
bell would Immediately apprise every
person on the train of their enter
prise The tocsin would be a signal
for the engineer to back down his
train, and by the time it reached the
cutoff express car there would be a
force of armed men on the rear plat
form ready to do battle. Lieutenant
Knight supplements his plan with the
suggestion that every car on the train
should be provided with two repeating
shotguns, each magazine containing
five buckshOt cartridges.
The plan is worth the attention OF
railroad managers and express com.
panies. If the chances of death IN
train robberies is made greater than
the possible prospect of gain, the
business will be abandoned. 1t is
only because train robbers generally
|escape scot free that the race con

HOW. TO PREVENT TRAIN ROB-
Berries.

Lieutenant Knight of the third cav
airy contributes to the North Amer
lean Review an article on a subject
which is of much interest to the tray
cling public, towit: the prevention of
train robberies.
i He says that the makeup of trains
in the Western country facilitates
such robberies. These trains are
made up in the following order: En-
gine, tender, express or baggage
cars, second-class coaches, first-class
coaches and sleeping-cars. The rob-
bers board the forward platform of
the car nearest the tender at some
small stopping-pl and lie quiet

A FATAL SUMMONS
1T WILL RESULT IN THE DEATH
OF EX-SENATOR BUCK.
Suspected of Having knowledge of the
Murder of Miss Harrington-The Case
Creates Intense Excitement.

San Francisco, June 2.-The police is
still looking for the murderer of Miss
Harrington, whose mutilated body was
found in her house on Ellis street yes
terday. In the murdered woman's
room was found a photograph of ex-
State Senator L. w. Buck, one of the
most prominent fruit growers of the
state People of the house identified
the picture as that of a man who called
to see Miss Harrington. The police
sent to Senator Bucks house in Oak
land and requested him to come to San
Francisco and tell what he knew OF
the case. Buck started to drive to the
station, but on the way was thrown
from the buggy and seriously injured.
He is suffering from concussion of the
brain and may not recover. Senator
Buck was at his home in Oakland yes
terday between the hours of IL and 3
O'Clock, and IT is known the murder
was committed between IL and l
o'clock A young japanese who had
engaged a room in the house has been
detained pending investigation, but it
is not believed he had anything to do
with the murder.
Ex-senator Bucks physicians said to-
night the injured man could not posi-
bly, survive and his death is only a
question of a few hours. When pitched
out of the buggy Buck struck the
ground on his head. fracturing his
skull. While the police will not say
definitely that they suspect Senator
Buck of the murder, their actions lead
to the belief that they think he knows
something about it. 1t has been proved
that Buck was a constant caller on
Miss Harrington and had taken her
driving and TO various resorts. The po-
lice say the murder was committed by
some one intimately acquainted with
Miss Harrington and her habits. The
police searched through the papers
found in Miss Harrington's room in
the hope of finding some clew. When
asked what the result Of the search
had been, Captain Lees said he had
found certain evidence which he could
not make public at this time. Then a
conference of detectives was held. and
at its close Chief of Police Crowley,
accompanied by a detective, went to
Oakland, where Senator Buck resides.
Detectives have investigated the state
merlt made by Senator Bucks family
that he was at home at the time the
murder was committed. When ques-
toned as to the accuracy of this state
ment. the detective who made the in
vestigation avoided the question. Owing
to Bucks prominence and the tragic
fate that befell him before he had an
opportunity to clear himself of the sus-
picions which have grown up against
him, the murder has created an amount
of interest. only exceeded by the
Emanuel church murders Of a few
months ago

ONE OF THE CAUSES
IT'S ALLEGED THE COLIMA WAS
NOT PROPERLY LOADED.
substantiated Reports That the Steamer
Was Top Heavy - Instructions
to Captains of Ports.

San Francisco, June 2-The condition
of the cargo of the Colima when she
left Mazatlan is an important one. in
view of the telegrams printed yester-
day. In these dispatches, from three
different sources. come the statements
fhatthe cargo OF the Colima shifted and
that the steamer was top heavy be-
cause OF her deck load. These state
ments came from survivors. who re-
lated them on the San Juan and at
Mazatlan and from Manzanillo. where
some of the survivors remain. and
from information given to George Her
bert, manager of the Manzanillo & Co
lima railroad. which has sent much
news of the wreck by way of the City
OF Mexico. The question is. was the
wreck of the Colima due to the bad
slowing of the cargo. and was the deck
Il cad too great for the steamer to bear
in heavy weather?
Alexander Center. general agent of
the Pacific Mail steamship company in
this city. said positively that he does
not believe the statement that the
cargo had shifted during the gale. and
he declared that the Colima was loaded
in the best possible manner and was
anything but overloaded when she

carried dynamite. as reported. but said
that there was a quantity of gun pow
der on board. which was stored in the
magazine.

cause the spendthrift would quickly
blow in his portion the first day, and
then there would have to be another
division the next day. The socialist
says the remedy is to put everything
in the hands of the state and make
the government the great proprietor
Of all things, and to deal out the sub
stance according to the needs or
wants of each. That would also be an
Impractical remedy. because when a
man understood that he had but a
one-sixty-five millionth part Of the ma
tion's products he would hardly be
stimulated into giving his best efforts
towards that production. 1t would, be-
sides. be a strike at our liberties. and
could only be carried out under an alb
solute despotism. The opportunities
for corruption under a government
ownership Of everything would be so
great that the people would be for
ever in helpless bondage"
Mr.. Streator said that he did not
even believe in the government owner

that the railroads would not own the
government. The people now complain
OF trusts. yet they believe 1t would be
a good way TO get rid Of them by COM
bining them all in one supreme trust.

people IL you want to remain free"
The lecturer read Christ's parable
about the unjust steward and applied
Il to the theme of his discourse, con-
cluding that a Christian stewardship
was the proper remedy. OF course, If
the remedy were applied there would
be no ill-gotten millions on one hand
and beggary on the other, and conse-
quently no anarchy and nothing OF
that sort. AS an incident to his lee
ture, Mr.. Streator spoke about silver,
and said 1t had been in use as stand

down to 1873. and he believed that the
people would soon rise up in their right
and secure it's restoration.
