The Fair Alma Herzog Too ruch for Price
and a Constable
The constable's office had a lively
chase yesterday, after Mrs. w. H. Bluett
better known by her stage name of Alma
Herzog, who last week appeared at the
Orpheum in this city as serio-comic.
Mrs. Bluett is the wife of an Oakland
physician, but has hankerings after the
stage, which she gratified by securing
an engagement with Manager Petrich.
She was not an unqualified success and
tried to boom herself by engaging w. l..
Price, better known as Bud" to lift
her to fame by means of flattering press
notices.
Price filled his promises and on Sat-
urday demanded his pay, $50. Alma,
still sore over her fiat failure to please
the public, saidl he had not earned his
money, but finally agreed to pay him
on Tuesday. Yesterday Price learned
that she was on the point of departing
for Frisco, and, rushing off to the con-
stables office, swore out an attachment
on her trunks. Down to the Arcade de-
pot he posted with deputy, but Mrs.
Bluett was too rapid for them, and while
they were looking over pile of trunks
on the outside she was inside the bag
gage room and got her baggage checked.
Then she took q car direct to San Fer
nando street depot and boarded the
train at that point, thereby making good
her escape.
The fair Alma is gone and so is Buds

his money in some manner, no matter
what 1t may cost in the way of lega!

STEPHENS IS DISCHARGED
The Accused Dismissed on Motion of the
District Attorney


On motion of Deputy District Attor-
ney James. Justice Morrison yesterday
morning dismissed the charge of at
tempted burglary against James X.
Stephens, and the only prisoner held for
connection with the tunnel scheme for
robbing the First National bank was
dismissed. because of lack of evidence
showing that he had anything to do with
the Job.
Gen. Johnstone Jones appeared for the
defendant and was prepared to show if
necessary that his client was sick abed
nearly all the time supposed to have
been consumed in digging the tunnel.
and that by no possible means could he
have been a pal of Jones, Stewart or
McCarty, the suspected and hunted men,
There had been two continuances grant
ed the prosecution in which to prepare
their evidence, and nothing to show guilt
forthcoming the justice promptly dis
charged Stephens, who on leaving re-
marked that he would now go and look
at the tunnel, as he had a curiosity to see
what it looked like. He had been in Jail
almost week and felt the effects of the
confinement on a frame weakened by
sickness.

Wages of the World

England stands al the head in Europe
as the best market for labor. Scotland
and France are little behind her. Then
there is heavy drop until Austria, the
Netherlands and Belgium are reached; !;
the scale goes still lower in Germany,
where the rate is the same as in Ireland,
Spain, Sweden, Russia and Italy follow
here in the order given.
According to the table of Bodio. an
italian authority, glassblowers are the
best paid mechanics in Italy and paper
makers the poorest The rate of wages
in Italy, low as 1t is now, was still lower
twenty-five years ago. In England the
increase in the rate Of wages has been
about 20 per cent in twenty-five years.
A French bricklayer now gets so per
cent more wages than were paid for his
work in France forty years ago.
In Colorado the average yearly earn
ings Of an employe of a manufacturing
company is $720; in Montana, $722; in
Nevada, $71S, and in Wyoming $685. In
the states where colored labor Is abun-
dant the total average earnings are
much less. In Alabama the average Is
$685. in Mississippi, s310; in North Caro-
lima, $216; in Georgia, 1907, and in South
Carolina, $267. In New York the aver
age is $3.50; in Pennsylvania, $492. in
Ohio, $479, and In Massachusetts, 49+.
The total wages paid in New York man.

nary years to $500, 900, 0,000.-Exchange.

for the forthcoming celebration. Every
thing is moving along most satisfactor-
lily. The finances are in good condition,

to hold exercises In Hazards pavilion,
but at Simpson tabernacle instead.

about sixty girls to complete the living

at Hazards pavilion, and all wishing to
take part are requested to be on hand
at that time.
