A PICKPOCKET CAUGHT
RELIEVED A WOMAN OF HER
PURSE ON SPRING STREET
And Is Followed by Her Son Through
the Crowd Until an Officer Is
Found to Make the Arrest

vitaliano Salo, an italian, was locked
lin the city Jail yesterday afternoon on
charge of grand larceny. He was de-
, tected in the act of picking woman's
pocket on Spring street and arrested
while attempting to escape.
About o'clock Mrs. Emma Miller of
22O South Water street, who had come up
town to do some shopping, was standing
in front of the Peoples Store, on North
Spring street, talking to her son, w. II.
Miller, and Mrs. Rushton. OF a sudden
her son asked her If she had her pocket
book. He had just noticed man crowd
Ing up very close to his mother and the
fellows actions had excited his suspi-
cions.
Mrs. Miller felt in her pocket and then
exclaimed, why, no; my purse is gone.
I've lost it"
NO. it's been stolen." replied Mr..
Miller, "and yonder goes the man who
took it," he added, pointing to the Ital-
ian. who was making his way rapidly
down the crowded thoroughfare toward
First street. At the same time he started
to keep the fellow in sight.
AT First street Mr.. Miller found Police
man Richards, and pointing out the Ital-
ian. asked him to arrest the fellow Rich
ards grappled with the man and escorted
him to the police station. He was
searched, and the stolen purse. contain
ing s72O. was found in his pocket. He
gave his name as Vitaliano Salo.
Mrs. Miller swore to a complaint charg-
ing the Italian with grand larceny. He
was arraigned before Justice Owens, and
he will appear for pleading tomorrow.

CURRENT EVENTS CLUB
DR.. Moore's Instructive Talk on Pub
lie Ownership

The Current Events club grows to
larger proportions with each meeting,
the interest keeping pace with the in
crease in numbers. Thursday evening
DR.. Moore of Santa Barbara gave an
informal talk on public ownership that
was highly instructive and entertaining.
The speaker opened his remarks by de-
fining the meaning of public ownership.
which is substantially peoples owner
ship. It means not only freedom of
use. but freedom of the right use, OF
which the streets are good examples.
The advocates of public ownership do
not advise putting the power and privi
leges of public utilities. as streets. gas
and electric lighting. street railways,
water, etc. into the hands of rings, but
in the hands of people. DR.. Moore gave
an account of what has been accom-
plished in this direction in Glasgow
Birmingham and other British cities
In the first named the increase of reve-
nue. under public ownership has been so
great that no city taxes were levied last
year.
Aside from the economical gain, an
other important phase of the subject is.
that it will cultivate better civic spirit,
and when people are prepared for public
positions by civil service it will be cor
sidered the highest honor to be conferred
on the citizen.
Among the benefits that will accrue to
The herald., 1897-12-05

Here are twenty-five feet of house and
fifty feet of lot frontage'which are hard
to equal for comfort, convenience and
beauty with a small limit of cost.
The house sits back from the street
line about thirty feet, giving room for
grass and flowers, both of which are
more effective in that part of the lot than
in any other The height of this lot
above the level of the sidewalk permits
of a low terrace which adds greatly to
the general appearance.
If home builders generally realized
how much more homelike and attractive
a place became when so treated there
would be fewer hard lines, and rented
tached residences in those sections Of
towns and cities where room can be had
for such building. 1t does seem that
there would be enough instructive taste
if not educated knowledge to prompt
the adornment of homes with natures
ready means, and, if looked at only in
the light of dollars and cents, the en-
hanced value, the better selling price,
ought to be an incentive.
There is plenty of room on the front
veranda of this model home for the
whole family to air themselves on sum-
mer evening; where pa" may smoke
the pipe of peace while ma and the
girls" discuss the latest ideas in MILL
merry or the coming church social.
There is direct slap at the hardware
interests in this design, for there is no
front gate upon which daughter and

her young man" may hang upon each
others words-to the injury of the pa
tient hinges. Instead, their good nights
may be indefinitely delayed under the
protecting roof of the low gossiping We
randa.
Entering this house through the front
door, we find ourselves in well planned
hall, which, though not of great dimeu-
sions, is symmetrical, and by the use of
artistic drapings over the parlor and
dining room doors, an air of elegance
quite in keeping with the other arrange
ments of the house may be secured. The
stairway is so arranged with its double
landings as to be a very elegant feature
in an inexpensive home.
The library is retired, that is, in such
n position as to secure it's privacy, yet
with the wide sliding doors may become
part of a very handsome dining room
whenever occasion calls for it's use in
that way. Where the family is large
this room will be much used as sitting
room, but on evenings when the young
man" is helping to increase the coal and
gas bills, the wide door leading into the
parlor may be closely sealed-to avoid
drafts.
This floor is a model of compact con-
venience, not the least of these being the
back stairs, and pantry with sink.
The china closet in the dining room is
designed to be in cabinet work, with
double doors above and below, the lower
part with paneled DOORS the upper ones

understood that all persons representing

statement is made because complaints
have come in from some of the old resi-

soliciting orders for portraits of the pi-

have not the credentials above allud-
ed to.

THE TIMES NEW PRESS
Complicated and Interesting Machine
on View Yesterday

quadruple stereotype printing machine.
just constructed for the Times, was set
in motion yesterday afternoon for the
first time; and from o'clock. when the
invited guests began to arrive. and later.
when the press room was thrown open to
the public. steady stream of people
came and went and watched with alb
sorbed interest the smooth sheet of
white paper disappearing between the
cylinders at the end Of the press.
After winding in and around complex
maze of cylinders entirely beyond the
ken of the ordinary human biped the
same paper emerged from the other end
of the press twenty -eight-page pam
phlet, printed on both sides, illustrated
on almost every page. and enclosed in
colored covers which were printed with
brown ink on the outside and with green
ink within.
While the pressmen were adjusting
the various parts of the huge machine,
which Colonel Otis aptly likened to
woman's new bonnet-"had to be tried
several times to see if it would fit"-the
supplement Of the regular Sunday edi-
ton was run through the two other
presses-''The Old Guard" and "Colum-
bia I'-thereby furnishing continuous
entertainment for the crowds of guests.
Above the new press was suspended
its name plate, an interesting device.

on black background studded with
stars. Below, on gold ground, is a
double shield, under which is the Times
Well-knOWn crest of an acorn sword and
pen. and the motto, "Frangas non

ed by an effective frame of the national
colors: and back of the new press was
draped handsome American flag.

NEW YORK CITY. Nov. 21.-Al-
though promptly and emphatically de-
MED by people alleged to be concerned
in it at this end of the line. the story
of the combination of Coleman, Yost,

has been the absorbing topic of discus

the announcement of the Western

the price of its highest grade chain
wheel had been fixed at $50, to say moth

every one to the indisputab BILE realization
that the trade was on the eve of great

his intention to fight the pioneer chain

say.
Mr.. Coleman" said he. denies most
emphatically that there Is one iota OF
truth or foundation to the story that
comes from Toledo. where all such wild
rumors seem to arise as to big trade
deals. that he has entered into any such
combination or will enter into any such
combination for any such purpose. Mr..
Coleman has always acted by himself
in all matters pertaining to his business,
and will continue to do so. He will con-
tinue to mind his own business and saw
wood by himself. as he has done in the
past Yes, 1t Is true that the Western
Wheel Works will put a SIS chainless
wheel on the market No, Mr. Coleman
Is not looking for fight with any one,
and, as / said before. will simply saw
wood and say nothing. We have listed
our high grade chain wheels at $50, and
will sell them at that figure. We said
that high grade wheel could be made
and sold at $75. and we made 1t and sold
1t at that figure. We now announce that
n high-grade chain wheel can be made
and sold for $50. and we will make 1t and
