Senator Perkins, Dilemma.

A Washington gossiper tells how Sen ator Perkins of California Is in heap of trouble, owing to certain rash prom ises that he once made. Fifteen or six teen years ago he was elected governor of California, and a remarkably popu- lar sort of governor he proved to be. So popular, in fact, that bouncing baby boys were called by his name in each county. Governor Perkins heard of ev- cry one of these incidents. The fond fa- thers and mothers imagined the rich young governor was generously giving up hundreds of dollars in recognition of all these compliments. But instead of settling on the spot, Mir. Perkins wrote letters to every pair of proud parents, in which he s>id all manner of nice things, and ended with a flourish of promises as follows: "When George Perkins Smith is grown. let me know, and I will send him to college" He never imagined that he was going to be senator from California, with ambi- tions for reelection, 15 or Is years la ter. But there he is, and those letters are coming home to roost. Already four young men named George Perkins Smith, Jones or something else have put in their claims for a college educa- tion at the expense of the former govern or. 'I expect there are 20 or 80 more of them," says the senator, land I'll have to honor their drafts, even if it bankrupts ne.

Confederate Produced a Handful of ChAngs
 Instead of a Marked Dollar.
 Carl Hertz, the illusionist, was talk ing of some of the accidents that some times spoil the art of the conjuror.
 Ut was in Nashville, he said, "that I experienced real knock down blow. I was performing the well known trick of passing marked coin into the center of an uncut orange; at least that's what a good many people thought I was do- ing. I used silver dollar, and empha- sized the trick by passing the coin into the pocket of some boy whom had en- ticed on to the stage.
 II will openly confess that the boy had to be a confederate, and that the marked dollar had its fellow in one pre- viously prepared by me. One night, as I was entering the theater. looked around for likely youth to aid me in my dou- ble dealing. I picked boy and prom ised to pass him in if he would follow my instructions.
 I am conjurer,' I said. T want you to put this dollar in your right hand trousers pocket. I'll get you a seat in the front TOW. When I ask for some body to come on the stage, you must come. Then will ask you to produce the dollar.
 1.-The boy promised everything, and, after making arrangements for him at the door, left him. When was ready for the dollar trick, saw my young confederate sitting open mouthed in the front row. had prevailed upon another member of the audience to lend me a dollar marked exactly as was that had given to the boy.
 1T passed that borrowed dollar into the orange, cut the fruit open, and out dropped the coin. Then went on:
 "'And now. ladies and gentlemen, will perform a still more difficult feat. I have passed that dollar into an orange. Now will ask some member of the au- dience to step on the stage, and, without going anywhere near him, will pass the same dollar, marked, as you have seen, into his right hand trousers pocket. '
 True to his bargain, the boy stepped to the stage Istepped opposite him and asked:
 "'Now, sir, have you ever seen me beforei'
 "'No, sir, was the answer.

 "'Now. said to my assistant, put your hand into your right hand trousers pocket and give me the dollar.

Surprising Experience In . Car of . Boy
 Who Was Headstronr.
 A poorly dressed woman with boy about g years old boarded one of the Union Trolley company's cars in White Plains avenue recently. There was no vacant seat, and she grabbed a strap in front of young man and prepared to hang on. The young man got up and tipped his hat to her. Quick as a flash the boy dropped her hand and leaped in to the seat on his knees, taking care to wipe his muddy feet on the clothing of the passengers on either side. The young man looked first at the woman, for whom he intended the seat, and then at the boy. The woman shook her head and said:
 "Poor boyl Iguess he's tired. He can have it, sir"
 The young man looked from one to the other again. He shifted about un- easily for moment The other passen. gers in the car giggled. That decided him. Holding to strap with one hand, he reached for the boy with the other and got him by the nape of the neck. He lifted him clear of the seat and held him dangling and kicking in the air. The woman was about to protest. Then she thought better of it and sat down in the vacant seat.
 Madam" said the young man, throwing the boy at her, there is your boy.
 Thank you, sir" she said. He is bit headstrong, it's true, sir"
 The boy looked astonisbed He whim. pered little. The woman patted him on the head, and there wasn't peep heard from him from that time until the Harlem bridge was reached and the crowd got out.-New York Sun.

slightly changed by the insertion, at his

Mrs. Dalton was arrested, and when
brought before Justice Withe-ow her in-
dignation was much enhanced when the
defend ant told her there was no malice in
his heart and that he would go on her
bail bond. She preferred the unpleasant
alternative and suffered incarceration in
the county Jail for three days, when she
was taken back to Redondo for trial. with
the result that the charge was dismissed.
The plaintiff claimed that the miscella-

Mrs. Mary Jane Dalton Claims $40, 900 for
Malicious Prosecution
w. A. Field, the capitalist who has

street. is defendant in suit now being
tried in department six, before Judge Nc
Kinley and jury.
Mrs Mary Jane Dalton. who figures as
The plaintiff, is lady of comely proper
tons. who claims that she has been in
jured in her good name and reputation to
the extent of $4,000, and for this sum
she prays judgment and costs of suit.
1t seems that Mr.. Ficld was so ungallant
as to have Mrs. Dalton arrested at Re.
dOndO upon the charge of larceny, wh ich
was afterwards dismissed upon the motion
of the district attorney. 1t all came about
in this way:
Mrs. Dalton last summer rented the
lower floor of a building at Redondo from
the defendant for the purpose of carrying
on restaurant. A Mr.. Lancaster had pre-
viously occupied the premises for similar
purpose and some of his effects were still
there when Mrs. Dalton moved in and were
included in the rental of the premises.
For some ndefinable reason landlord and
tenant did not get on together very we'll
and Mr.. Field asked her to move out. Mrs.
Dalton had been contemplating some such
action herself. but did not feel particularly
pleased at her landlords way of putting it,
SO she declined to go. The defendant tried
to change the mind of his tenant by
shutting off the water, and then Mrs. Dali
ton seemed 10 realize that discretion is ever
the better part of valor, and she decided to
pack the family lares and penates and
move out.
All her effects were boxed up prepara-
tory 10 having them moved from the build
ing, and then Mr.. Field put in claim for
S34 rent. Mrs. Dalton denied owing any
such sum. upon which the landlord in
voked the good offices of Justice Witheron,
who issued an attachment upon the boxes
of goods. which We're levied upon. When
tile matter came up for hearing Mrs. Dali
ton claimed the property levied upon was
exempt from execution, and thereupon,
within the hoIr, Mr. Field proceeded to
make complaint before the same justice
that had issued the attachment, that some
spoons, forks and kitchen utensils, the
aggregate value of which was $5, which
were the property of Mr.. Lancaster, had
been packed away by Mrs. Dalton with
her own effects.

the suit instituted by the city 70 condemn a
portion of the lands of the Providencia
rancho is being tried.
Yesterday the department was filled all
day, and the technicalties of the case were
followed with apparent interest.
L. G. Fuiclle, the civil engineer of San
Bernardino, who is also engineer for one of
the irrigation districts, was on the witness
stand almost the whole day. He testified
that, according TO his estimates, 5000
inches of water would be developed by the
plan proposed by the city, at cost of
100000. The tunnels would cost $12 per
foot and the open cuts about ~ per foot.
The water power approximated to 4 horse
power and could be utilized for pumping
purposes, in which event 900 inches of
water could be raised from the lower plane
of the river in addition to the 5000 inches
of water before mentioned as dependent
on the gravity flow. The pumping works
would cost about $4,000, and the 5000
inches of water would be in excess of the
surface flow in the river.

be worth from $500 to $500 per inch on
