perinte ndent OF Schools, on the subject of
the school census recently taken. The
Auditor. it appears, informed the jury
that the demands for the service per-
formed by the deputies were excessive.
The cost of the work last year and the
sum charged for similar work this season
did not differ widely, so the jurors were
inclined 10 the belief that rot great deal
of public money had been wasted. Some
of the demands indicated more days
charged for than the calendar mum ber OF
days from the beginning to the closing OF
the census, but this discrepancy was ae.
counted for by the allowance of over
time. For example, eight hours service
was reckoned as days work and when a
deputy worked sixteen hours a day be
presented demand for two days work.

A HAMMAM NIGHT
AND THE SEQUEL
The Grand Jury Presents
an Indictment Against
Charles ]. Whelan.
Witnesses Tell H W E. w. Shaw
Lost 5000 in Coin and a
Diamond Ring.
Reginald H. Webster. Superin tendent
of Schools, Explains the Cast and
Methods of Census Taking.

The Grand Jury yesterday heard the tes-
timony of witnesses regarding the robbery
of e. w. Shaw in the Hammam Baths on
Post street one night about two weeks ago.
According to the story told to the jury
Shaw, who keeps a place on Market street,
opposite the Palace Hotel, went to the
baths along with c. ]. WheIan, railroad
broker. The articles of value belonging to
each were deposited. Shaw receiving key
to the box containing his diamonds and
money and Whelan a key to box in
which his own belongings were stored.
The Jury seems to have been convinced
that Wheian went in without anything OF
value and came out $500 ahead, while
Shaw went in with coin and diamonds
and left the esta blishment without either
cash or iewelrv.
The Grand Jury heard the testimony of
M. Caro-, the day clerk, and NJ. Marks, the
night clerk at the establishment. Mr..
Shaw, the man who lost the money, also
testified. At o'clock the jury went into
Judge SeawelIs court and presented an
indictm ent charging Whelan with grand
larceny. The indictment was placed on
the secret file.
From what can be ascertained regard
ing the testimony submitted to the jury it
does not appear that any witness testified

Manuel" "Ml so soy muchacho; mi so
hombre," he adds to Ribas, who forth
with translates the lovers sent ments in
this wise: Il am no longer a boy; | am a
man." Although possibly this entirely
unnecessary statement is the result of
sheer effusiveness.
And now for the future Barillas pic
tured it in radiant colors. There would
be an extended honeymoon trip TO Eu-
rope, after which everybody would go to
Central America and the family hacienda.
MISS Lille must take lessons in Spanish.
Both she and her sister must proceed to
'give up their jobs at once" as cashiers in
cigar-stores, for no scion or relative of the
naughty Barillas must work for living
The heart and possessions of this cavalier
were capacious enough to make all happy.
Miss Blair had been earning Sc a week,
but Barillas shuddered at such thoug hts
of poverty He orders the faithful Ribas
to give the family unlimited credit, and
when Miss Lille modestly purchases a
sealskin sack and some few silk dresses he
upbraids her for her economy.
Miss Blair told me she could have
spent thousands of dollars" said Dimono.
Some weeks of unalloyed bliss followed.
BariIlas was constant caller at the
house and flowers and candy presents
flowed in profusion. His ardor never
waned. For hours he would talk of his
home in Central America and draw maps
of his coffee plantations. He was worth
many millions, but oh! so lonely. He
called Lille my life, my sister, my fair
white flower" The younger sister
Emily, he asked to be his "littIe sister, "
and showered on her all manner OF pet
names in Spanish. They would never

Ribas was commissioned to order expeIl-
sive dinners from the Palace Hotel. To
Mrs. Phelps he declared in his enthusiasm
one day that Lillian was ''the fairest
flower man ever had for bride"
All this was related by Dlmond by
means of the introduction OF certain type
written documents, which the attorney
said he drew up at the time Miss Blair
had engaged him to prosecute the Guate-
malan Don Juan for breach of promise.
Copies of these documents, which were
declared to contain in substance the
stories OF Barillas wooing as the lawyer
heard it from different members of the
Blair family.
But there arrived time when a change
came over the spirit of the aged suitor.
Dinners at the Palace and Delmonico,
drives to Peralta where Barillas had paid
for years schooling for Miss Biair's
brother gave way to the final parting, and
then one evil day the lover made his ap-
pearance to say good-by. He had re-
ceived a telegram from his partner in
Europe which necessitated his immediate
presence in Paris.
Happiness gave way to weeping. for
never lover. according to Dimond, had q
more ready command of his tear valves.
In his anguish he almost fell down the
front steps of the Blair residence. But be
would come back. 1t was only a matter
OF SIX weeks or so until ne would clasp
again "his white flower" and 500 was
left as sort of surcease with the sorrow
ing ones behind.
The following day the Guatemalan and
Ribas left for Europe. He wrote letter
from Port Costa, and almost daily Miss
Blair received letters or telegrams from
him until he arrived in London. Then il
was she began to pine. Days passed into
weeks and still no word from the recreant.
In December she wired for $1,000, but a,
this time Barllas was frolicking about
Europe with another girl, May Taber.
Miss Blair sorrowed until advised to seeH
the services of DR.. Z. F. Perrault, who,
on learning the true nature of her NJ alady,
struck her love dream to the ground with
the news that there was very lively and
estimable lady in Guatemala who pre-
sided over the house and fortunes ol
| Barillas.
Never until that time, said Attorney
! Dimond, did he believe Miss Blair knew
of the deception that had been practiced
upon her. He believed that the whole
family had been basely wronged and that
was the reason why he entertained suit
| for breach of promise.

vas shameful enough to picture him play
fully IIttering the carpets OF a prospective
mother-in-Iaw at time when she, dazzled
by his title and the stories OF his coffee
plantations. feared to demonstrate. Now
they are picturing Don Juan, not as a
tuneful cavalier at all. but as singing
faulty metaphors in bad Spanish and
worse English. And those fifteen million
pesos that helped open the heart OF Miss
Lille Blair are going in the shuttle with
rapidity that threatens bankruptcy, for it
appears now that the legal sharps have
discovered that at most there was not
much over half million as an available
balm for tie wrencheo affections OF his
many admirers.
. But this detraction must cease. Barillas
made love like an old time knight, even
il he had recourse to dictionaries and in
terpreters to push along his cause. At
torney Dimond still declares that the
whole Blair family fell before the Central
Americans effusiveness. He gathered
them into the pockets OF his capaclons
heart. this gay old deceiver, and in their
con fdence they forgot TO make Inquiries
about the wife and family who awaited
his coming to Central America.

mond's metaphor. They were poor and

Attorney Eisner, however, insisted thar
MISS Blair had told him from the begin
ming of her acquaintance she knew Bar
illas was married. Dimond was positive
in the contrary of this. Eisner said ii
was remarkable the Central American
had never taken the woman he claimed 8
iancee to any pu blic functions Dimond
saw only in this the craftiness OF the
millionaire in providing against possible
EN- barraasments. Barillas had avoided
being seen in the theaters for the reason,
Dimond said, given to Miss Blair that he
did not understand English.
Eisner-Did it strike you that Barillas,
man of much experience, would not
ave written such letters as he sent to
Miss Blair with any serious intentions?
Attorney Thornton objected to the as
sumptiof that Barillas was man of ex-
periences
Eisnef-Didn't you realize that these
letters Were mere Spanish effusions?
Achs-sBecauSe man comes from .
Spanish country he cannot be said to be .
Spaniard when he acts as Rarillas did.
Attorney Eisner did you think that it
was necessary to win Miss Blair that
Barillas wrote those letters?
And Attorney Thornton dropped q re-
mark that every man who writes love
letter is more or less OF fool.
1t was TO vindicate himself and his
friends, Drs. Perrault and Cranz, Dimond
said. he had instituted suit to recover
$4,000 for legal services against Miss
Blair. He learned that she, her sisters
and her mother had made affidavits de-
