SUBURBAN FOOlPADO.
Two Masked Men Operating Out on
Twenty-First Street.
Last Night They stopped Frank Hover
ton, But Ran Away When He
Drew His Pistol.

The men who few weeks ago did
such a land Office business in holding up
people in the suburbs, are again at their
work.
About 7:30 o'clock last evening, as
Frank Howerton, who lives near High
land Park, was on his way home in a
buggy, he met two men on Twenty first
street, near x, who stepped into the
roadway and commanded him to halt.
They both wore long black masks over
their faces.
Howe1'ton had his pistol small self
cooking weapon, under the cushion of
his seat, and he dug for it at once. The
highwayrnen saw what he was UP to-,
and with bound they sprang to one
side and escaped in the darkness.
Howerton did not risk a shot at them
then, as he could barely see the outline
of their forms, and as he had seen the
gleam of weapon in the hands of one
of them he feared they might turn loose
at him, as he presented a conspicuous
mark.
Fastening home he got out his shot
gun, however, and returned to the spot
and searched for the rascals, but could
not find them. From the Buffalo Brewery
he telephoned. to the police station. and
telephoned to the police station and
Officers Talbot and Fisher, who had
just reported on duty, were sent out
there, but their search for the footpads
was fruitleSS.

C. H HUBBARD, Mayor.
The charges stated that on February
9th Chief Drew had assigned the day
and some of the nightmen to duty on
beats between Twelfth and Thirty-firsf
streets, with orders to stay upon their
assigned beats; that on the following
night Officer Logue was absent from his
beat, being at Tenth and streets, on
his way to Q street, contrary to a di
rection given that night that all Off
GERS should stay on their beats.
The Police Committee recommended
that a special meeting be called for
Thursday evening to consider the
charges against Captain Greene and
Officer Logue, and that the Corporation
Counsel be instructed to prepare the
evidence and be present at that time;
and further, that Logues case be taken
up at Z pm.
The board finally decided to take up
both cases on Wednesday evening.

He VIII Lecture in This City on
Thursday Evening.
The Lecture Association is constantly
springing pleasant surprises on the peo-
pie. This time it announces that on
Thursday evening next David Starr
Jordan, President of the Stanford Uni
versity and one of the brightest intel
lectual lights of the coast, will deliver
an address before the association at the
Congregational Church.
The subject chosen by Professor Jor
dan for the occasion, judging by its
title, '"The Mission of the Fool-Killer,"
should be very entertaining one. The
fool-killer has been Sinking his duty
most shamefully, and deserves shak
ing up. Professor Jordan will doubtless
give him one in great shape.

MINER AND FIFTY CENT DOLLAR.

The constant iteration and reitera-
ton by the entire gold press and all
the oddities in Christendom, that
with free coinage of silver the silver
d, liar would be worth only fifty cents,
if true, rerutes the assertion that free
coinage is for the benefit of the mine
owner, because the mine owner can
now get Il little over fifty cents in
gold for 37lIl grains Of pure silver.
If he could get no more under free
coinage, how would he be benefited?
If the mints were opened to free coin
age he could get Il dollar at the mint
for 4l2l2 grams in standardsIlver and
everybody else could do the same.
How would he have any special adj
vantage owe others to whom the four
thousand millions of silver in exist
encc is accessible for purchase and
conversion into dollars? 1t is easy to
sec how the free coinage of silver
would make more standard money
and increase the Volume and decrease
the purchasing power of money and
thereby benefit debtors, taxpayers
and Ill others having fixed charges to
meet, and also stop falling prices,
which, az" death tulrntcrprise; but the
silver ann -, as such. could get no
more benefit from free coinage than
the enhanced purchasing power of
silver would give. If it were not en-
HANGED at all. they would get no prof.
it; if it were enhanced enough to
BRING silver on II par with gold, they
would get all the profit resulting
from the increased purchasing power
OF silver, and none of the profit re-
sulting from the diminished purchas
ing power Of gold; but all debtors
and taxpayers would he benefited by
the diminished purchasing power of
gold, and production would be re
heyed from the baneful effect of fall
ing priccs.-SlIver Knight.

A GLIMPSE OF ROYALTY.
An American Who Was Not at All Over
awed by Mobiles.

oWeu oy NODlee.
An American, after n late breakfast
in n Paris hotel, sauntered to the n
trance and stood on the sidewalk in
front of the door enjoying his morning
cigar. y young woman attired in n rid
ing habit came out OF the hotel ard
stood beside him for u few minutes,
looking eagerly up and down the
venue. The American glanced at her
and turned to other objects in the street
before him.
Soon Il groom brought two horses and
held them by the brides. The lady
glanced at her watch and then bowed
to Il gentleman, who drove up in Il
barouche from the side street. He
jumped out of the carriage, dismissed
the driver and bcckoncd TO the lady,
who joined him at the curbstonc. After
Il brief pause the lady vas put on her
horse, and the gentleman mounted the
ether horse. The groom dropped the
brides, and the two riders started for
their morning cantcr without an at
lcndant.
This scene was idly watched by the
American at the hotel door. The hotel
ploll lSiol, IL ltIu SUOOU Dtlllllu ulIu

"lou 10 not appear to know who
those people are"

The mattel proprietor, who considered
it Il great privilege to have royalty un.
der his roof, expected the disclosure
would create Il marked impression upon
his American guest; but he was mis-
taken. The American betrayed neither
curiosity nor interest.
