HIS WORK WAS CLEVER
Capture of a Mail Thief
Who Worked a Novel
System.
For Months He Has Been Filching
Large Sums From Various
Postoffices.

CHICAGO, ILL, April IL. - William
Hanson, truckman at the Dearborn street
railway station, who has been playing one
of the most clever games the postal inspec-
tors were ever called upon to unravl, was
detected and arrested at Elgin to-day.
Hanson's night duties consisted of hand
ling the mail-pouches. He would take
handful of letters from pouch, and es-
pecially those addressed to postmasters,
and extract the money-order advices.
He would then search the pouch for all
letters addressed to parties whose names
were found. Taking these, he would wash
off in chemicals the amount named in the
advices and the orders, fill in a higher
figure, make the money order payable to
some one else and have Identification
waived. The advices he would renal to
the postofices.
In order to supply the proper margins
on the money orders Hanson would go to
the Chicago postoffice and buy an order for
as many cents as there were dollars in his
first order. He would then tear ofislge
cent margin and paste in the dollar mark
in the raised order. Hanson would not
say how many orders he had altered, but
the number is large. The work of his
chemical solution in washing off the ink
was beyond detection. The inspectors de-
clared his work the best they have ever
seen

FLOWERS IN PROPULSION
Wonderful Varieties That Cause Great
Attraction in the Pavilion
Exhibit.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, April 17.-At
8 o'clock on Wednesday morning there
was not flower in the new pavilion. A
mischievous shower which descended and
a fitful breeze which played about the
town on Sunday and Monday delayed
the decorators in their work, and the
building was not turned over to exhib-
itors until Wednesday. A few hours of
brisk work directed by skill and taste
wrought wonders, and it was upon min
iature fairyland that the doors opened a
few hours later.
Arranged upon circular stand in the
center of the pavilion was the exhibit of
the Southern California Acclimatizing As
sociaUion, a regularly incorporated body
having its headquarters in Montecito This
organization has gone to work so quietly
and modestly that few even among it's own
neighbors realize the magnitude and i'm
portance Of the work undertaken by it or
the amount it has achieved in less than
two years of existence.

and trees and Towering shrubs are being
brought, with a view to ascertaining what
will thrive in the mild climate of this re-

A CARNIVAL WEDDING.
Rather Romantic Marriage of Miss de La
Guerra, the Granddaughter Of
a Noted Grandee.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, April IT,
The floral festival this year was accentu-
ated by a peculiarly interesting wedding
which took place to-day. 1t was emphat-
ically a love match specially characteristic
In its scene and uniting representatives of
two diverse races. The bride was Miss
Herminia de la Guerra, granddaughter of
Governor de la Guerra and sister of Mrs.
Thomas Dibblee Of San Francisco, and
the groom was Lewis G. Lee, native of
Rochester, n. Y, and now an orchardist at
Riverside
The ceremony was performed at the
historic old De Ia Guerra house on De la
Guerra street in this city. The house &C.
cupies about half block, and is built of
adobe Of one story around three sides of a
square, the tiled roof sloping down to make
broad verandah. 1t was the fourteenth
wedding celebrated here, the famous union
of Anita de la Guerra to Alfred Robinson
of Boston, SO wildly portrayed in Dana's
1.-TWO Years Before the Mast" having &C.
CURED in this house in a long, low, cool
room beneath the rather grim look of old
Governor de la Guerra portrayed on the
wall
The bride was married by Rev. Father
Ramon Ferrar. She looked charming in
her rich robe, trimmed with real orange
blossoms from Mr.. Lees orchard. She is
a fine Castilian demi-blonde, and her
friends credit her with great popularity
and a sunny disposition. Mr.. Thomas
Dibblee gave her away. The best man was
Carlos de la Guerra, the brides brother,
and the bridesmaids, who wore white
Swiss, were Miss Elisa Bouton, Miss PAN
chita Dibblee, Miss Josephine de la Guerra,
and Miss Acascia Orena of San Francisco.
The maid OF honor was Miss Deltina de la
Guerra. Very few people knew of the
happy event, the only guests besides the
two families being Mrs. Robert Pitcairn,
Miss Pitcairn, Mrs. Charles Taylor and
Miss Street, all of Pittsburg, who are rela-
lives of the bride and happened to be visit
Ing Santa Barbara.
The decorations were peculiarly tasteful
the designer being Miss Whelan. After
the wedding festivities and toasts the
couple left for Los Angeles. BY general
consent the De la Guerra family stands at

SACRAMENTO MYSTERY.
1t Is limited That the Shooting of Mrs.
Hopp Wos Not accidental.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 1.-THE
body of Sophia Hopp was sent to San Fran
cisco on this mornings train without an
inquest.
About three weeks ago Mrs. Hopp, while
in her room, was shot. She said she did it
accidentally. On the 14th inst. she died
The Bee contained last night an interview
with the Deputy Coroner, in which he
stated that the most thorough investiga-
ton showed that the woman was alone in
the room when shot, and had declared it
an accident, so that it could not have been
more than suicide at the worst.
A reporter has ascertained that Mr.. and
Mrs Frank G. Wager, at whose house the
Hops roomed, went into the room imme-
diately after the pistol shot was fred and
Mrs. Hopp's scream was heard, and they
found Hopp in front of the bureau with his
wife's arms around his neck. His left arm
was around her body and pistol in his
right hand. They had quarreled often
about money. The wife had money in the
bank, and whenever she drew any out he
would demand it and spend it in gambling.

PLEADING FOR A MURDERER.
Governor Budd Asked to Alter the Sem
tence of Detectira Hnaris, SLGNer.

Gorernor Budd Asked to liter the Sem
tence of Defective Harris Slayer.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, April 17.-There
has been strong appeal for mercy in the
case of Anthony Azoff, the reputed muir
derer of Detective Len Harris, presented
to Governor Budd. The appeal is based
on the grounds of newly discovered evil
dence, and that he was tried in a commu-
nifty laboring under tremendous excite
ment.
There has also been petition presented
in his favor, which is signed by two OF the
leading men of the county in which the
shooting took place. The fireman and
two members of the jury which tried him
have signed a paper to the effect that had
AZoff made ais statement before the YER
dict they would never have voted for the
extreme penalty.
Among the papers laid before the Gov
ernor is one that states that there is a
strong feeling in the community that
George Sprange, anxious to obtain renown
as a detective, inveigled Azoff into the
crime.
The strongest document is one which
states that Frank E. Watson of Santa
Cruz will make an affidavit to the effect
that Sprange at one time wanted him to
assist in robbing place in Oakland.
The inducements held out to him were
very great and at first he agreed to assist,
but eventually backed out.

glon. SO this really means the founding
of botanical gardens which shall be the
depot of the Pacific and the scene of ex-
pertinent in the cultivation of rare growths
from the Orient and from Central and
South America.
So great has been the success already
achieved in this direction that inquiries
and requests for plants are constantly COM
ing from the great botanical gardens of the
world. DR.. F. Francischi, the superinten-
dent, comes from Italy's great botanical
gardens.
The exhibit made by this association in
cluded interesting plants from Siberia,
India, Mexico, Chile, Brazil, China, Japan
and Central and South Africa. And it
proved an altogether new theory, Wis. !:
That trees and shrubs from the harsh
Arctic regions as well as those accustomed
to the burning rays of tropical sun,
thrive Justify in this friendly cline. The
most interesting exhibit at this stand was
tiny pot containing a delicate fern-ike
plant.
This dainty Seeding is the result of the
first attempt ever made to cultivate the
paloferro or ironwood tree found by the
Spanish on Santa Cruz Island, magnifi-
cent tree which grows to the height of
fifty feet and has been decided by
botanists to be an entirely unique genus,
having no relative on the globe, it's scien-
tific name being the lyon othamnus
asptenifolius. A number of rare growths
from Guadalupe Island also attracted
attention.
Next in interest came the collectionsof
fresh wildfowers from the hills and
canyons and seashore made by the Agassiz
Association, comprising more than eighty
species of flowers at their best notable
exhibit when it is understood that these
wild blossoms are for the most part short
of season and every month brings new
varieties.
DR.. Yates collection of rare cacti and
ferns and other exotics was constantly
thronged. Mrs. Wade of Montecito, whose
grounds are rich in choice plants, filled a
long table with some of her choicest fow-
ers. Her exhibit of ranunculi and of
Roman anemones were especially notice

HOLLISTER, CAL, April 17.-Ex-Super-
visor Luis Raggio died at his home near
San Juan last evening, at the age 76 years.
Raggio was native of Italy, and came
to Memphis, Tenn, in 1841. He served as
pilot on the Mississippi River for three
years, and then went to San Francisco, via
Mexico, arriving July 81, 1S47. He started
the first sawmill at Monterey, and then re-
moved to Visalia and established freight
ing line from that place to Stockton.
While at Visalia he built the first brick
house there. In 1865 he came to San
Benito County, where he has since been
engaged in ranching. He served as Deputy

the desperate members of Vasquez's band.

who was one of the parties to the transfer
of the ranch to Sanders and the virtual
purchaser of it. Knausch was claimed by
Sanders as friend of over thirty years
acquaintance. In stating why Knausch
and Mrs. Sanders had never met the pro-
fessor said that Knausch had been preju-
diced against his wife by the tale told him
by a woman from Oregon, and had de-
clared that he never wished to see her face.
The witness was closely cross-examined
by Attorney Kinds, but did not break
down, though he was frequently compelled
to plead ignorance of facts, names and
dates

Martin of Mountain View telephoned to the

armed and was well tanned by the sun,
and his clothes were torn and dirty.
The Sheriff telephoned to the officers at
Redwood City to look out for the man.
Martin says he talked with the man, and
that every time that he tried to get in a
position to arrest him the man would put
his hand on his revolver. He rode off in

of superb form and size. Mrs. Buell., Mrs
Charles Edwards, Mrs. Neal and others had
notable exhibits.
The one flower which attracted the most
attention in the pavilion was the new
seeding rose, bred by John Spence, local
florist, which is destined to rank as the
great floral sensation of the day. In form
and size it is like a Cherokee rose, but 1t is
of deep pink color and the long golden
stamins are whirled about the open center
like the wild rose stamins.

CAPITAL and LABOR BANQUET.
The Stokes Family Open a NelO Era for
the WOrkinQnlun.


NEW YORK, N. Y, April Thames
Stokes, brother of w. E. D. Stokes and An
son Phelps Stokes, entertained at dinner
last night nearly 200 artisans that had been
employed in the construction of the house
on the northwest corner of Park avenue
and Thirtyeighth street. Bishop Potter,
who sat at the hosts right, and Fulton
Cutting, who sat at the left, declared the
dinner was without precedent and marked
the dawn of new era when the workman
and the employer would properly under
stand one another.
The affair occurred in the Industrial
building, Lexington avenue and Forty
third street. Gathered around the board
were the mixer of mortar and the carrier
of the same, the bricklayer, the plumber,
the plasterer, the mason, the electrician,
the painter of woodwork and the decorator,
who met on terms of equality with the con-
tractor, the society man and the church
dignitary.
The whole tone of the dinner can be
gathered from the fact that the wealthy
host addressed his guests as fellow-work-
men. There was no caste recognized, and
the bricklayer and the man of means broke
bread at the same table.
Mr.. Stokes is student of sociology, and
came to the conclusion that the solution
of the question of capital and labor lay in
both extending the hearty hand of fellow
ship to one another. The other reason for
the gathering was because of promise
that the host had made himself, years ago,
that when he built house those who
erected it should dine with him.
