WANTED TO LIVE TOO FAST.
This Causes Young Man TO BE Sent
TO jail.


J. w Snow. a young man who came TO
Richmond from Northumberland county
few months ago and was employed as q
clerk by Messrs. Kaufman & Co. was a
prisoner in the Police Court yesterday
morning. charged with stealing four Cos
samers from his employers.
The young man had been arrested by
Detective Gibson without the knowledge
OF Mr.. Kaufman. who was entirely igno-
rant OF the fact that he had. been robped.
Detective Gibson testified that he had
ascortalned that four gassamers had been
left in a store at Second and Broad. IN
curing at the store led him TO suspect
that they had been left there by snow.
lie went TO the store and interviewed
Snow. The young man admitted that he
had taken the articles and tried TO pawn
them He was refused an advance on
the goods because the pawnbroker feared
that they had been stolen. Snow told the
detective that ne hdd taken the gossa-
mcrs 10 raise money TO pay his boafd-bili.
Shows attorney. Mr.. George ". Wise,
made an earnest appeal for the prisoner.
but Il availed nothing, as the young man
was given sixty days In Jail. from which
decision an appeal was taken.
The cause Of the whole affair seems 10
have been that Snow. after reaching the
city. tried TO move in too fast circle.
He dressed lavishly on a small salary.
and had pawned nearly all of his personal
effects TO enable him to pay his board
bin. But still he could not make ends
meet. and hence his deed. When the
pawnbroker refused 10 accept the articles,
believing them TO be stolen. Snow had
nothing 10 do but leave Them for the time
being at a store. promising 10 call later.
Through this means the case reached the
police.
Snow is a nice-lookng young man, and
has anything but the appearance of a
thief.
The case of T.. p. Boston (colored).
charged with stealing IS cents from Fan
ME Gatewood, was continued until August
18th.

CENTRAL AMERICAN COLLEGES
Professor Caruth Gives Interesting
 Figures.

CHICAGO, Jan. 3.-Professors of the modern languages departments in representative educational institutions of the west assem bled for a three days conference at University of Chicago last evening. This is the first annual meeting of the Central Modern Lan- guage conference, which is the result of a meeting of a meeting of modern language instructors held in Chicago last June, when it was decided that the universities and colleges of the west would be further advanced by a separate organization.
 Professor Carruth of the University of Kansas, president of the conference, delivered the annual address. He said: 'Of the 370 colleges and uni versailles of this country 24O are situ- ated between the Alieghenies and the Rocky mountains. I estimate the number of college instructors in mod ern languages within the territory of this conference at 1000, while there are probably half as many more fairly well trained college graduates teaching in academies and high schools. If the personal contact, which I take to be among the chief benefits derived from such an organization, is not to be largely lost, a western society is in- evitable. So it has seemed to us. So, believe, it will seem more and more to the teachers of this great valley.
 Following the address the confer ence adjourned for a reception to the visitors.
 The conference today will hear the. reports of secretary and treasurer and will appoint committees for the com. ing year. discussion of plan of or. ganization will also take place.

CARNIVAL MASS MEETING
The Good Work Gets a
 Fresh Impetus.
Business Men Raise their Sub-
 sCriptions.
Director General Hatch Gives Resume of the Work Bone by
 the Association.

Last night at the opera house was held mass meeting called by the fol- lowing committee, who were appointed by the director-general for that pur- pose: B. Heyman, B. IN. Pratt, L. H. Goodrich, J. M. Ford, E. F. Kellner, Jas. A. Fleming, H. B. Kemp, Charles Goldman, Aaron Goldberg, Ben Butler, Gus Hirschfeld, G. H. N Ltihrs, M. Jacobs, F. c. Hatch.
 The crowd that gathered was not very large, but the business element of the city was well represented. Di- rector General Hatch gave resume of the work done by the carnival associ- alton and also the mean items of ex- pense that will be necessary for the success of the venture. For decorating he figured would cost $500. A like sum for music and $500 for the main tenance of the Indians that will be brought to the city during the fiesta. He also said that the two railroad lines running into Phoenix had made liberal inducements and that the connecting lines had agreed to make one fare for round trip with fifty days limit from all eastern and western points. He
 
 be devised to raise the sum of $5 900, which would be absolutely necessary that the carnival will be a thorough success. Col. Hatch then announced that Dr. J. M. Ford would take the chair for the evening.
 Dr. Ford came forward and made a few remarks and said that he would follow Col Hatch and raise his sub scription $50 in order that the funds might be raised.
 The following gentlemen made brief speeches and likewise raised their subscriptions from $1O to $50: Aaron Goldberg, Dr. Goodrich, B. Heyman, Gus Hirschfeld, Ben Butler Geo. H. N. Luhrs.
 The following promised that they would raise their subscriptions to a good sum: M. Jacobs, John Dennis, Walter Talbot.
 Col. Hatch suggested that the com mittee of business men that called the mass meeting be appointed perma- nent finance committee. The gugges- tion was acted upon by unanimous vote.
 General Sampson and Wade Rulings suggested that Col. Hatch be rendered vote of thanks for the excellent work done by him as head of the Carnival association and that he remain as pres ident of the association, all of which met with the hearty approval of the audience.
 The committee will wait on the ba,- ance of the business people and en- deavor to get them to raise their sub scriptions and from the promp!ness that some of the people responded last night they will not have much trouble in raising the money.

BRITAIN IS PBRTURBBD. Wants Peace in South
 Africa. A RumOr of JamIeSon'S ExeCu-
 ton.
British Troops Ordered to Repel at Arms Any Further Armed
 Advances.

LONDON, Jan. 3.-Cable advices from south Africa are contradictory and yet all are alarming.
 It appears, however, that Jamieson, leader of the British South Africa company's force, has been tried at Jo- hannesburg by drumhead court mar tial and a dispatch to The Standard states that he has been already shot, in accordance with the decree of Ihe summary court.
 Almost all of the expeditionary force have been released, anly a num- Der of the more prominent officers be- ing retained in custody by the Boers. The spoil in the way of rifles and am intuition and camp supplies was i'm mense.
 The cablegram relative to Dr.. Jamieson's execution is not believed here. It is not believed it would have been permitted at Johannesburg, where the main population, outside of Kafirs, is composed of Englishmen. Residents of the Transvaal now in London are especially sure that such could not have been the case. Dr. Herse, editor of the South Africa Crltlc, says: IT Johannesburg is the same town I knew the city has risen and either succeeded or failed in an at tempt to liberate Dr. Jamieson. I am satisfied all foreigners there, including Americans, would help the English. There are practically no Boers at Jo- hannesburg except the armed burghers who are parading the streets"
 The government is extremely per turbed by the turn events have taken On learning that a second column ot the troops of the British South Africa company had started for the Trans vaal, it has been ordered that the Black Watch of Highlanders, now posted at Cape Town, shall start a once for the border line and stop by force, if necessary, the contemplated raid.
