And He Gave Up His Fare to the
Man Who Touched Him.

Stubbs is really not very absent
minded, but when he is riding on q
street car he makes it a point not to
look at the conductor. 1t often saves
car fare, for there is something about
Stubbs that makes him lucky enough
to pe overlooked two cases in ten when
he boards a loaded car.
One morning he was absorbed in his
paper, and when he felt a touch on
his arm he mechanically passed out
his nickel and went on with his reading.
Later the conductor stood beside him
and murlnured Fare, please" but re-
ceived no attention-Stubbs had paid
his fare! Then the abominable nui-
sance OF a conductor seized him by the
shoulder and held out his hand, say
ing, sternly: Fare, please!"
II paid you before, said Stubs, as
affably as he could.
mo; you did not. Come, pass out
car fare!"
Man l paid my fare when you were
around before and Stubbs thought
for an adjective he might use when
there were ladies about. "You-you-
infernal-idiot, you are drunk or asleep,
for when you touched me on the arm
I passed out nickel, and you must
have taken it, for it was the only one
had" fumbIing in his change pocket.
With q red face the conductor rang
the bell to stop the car, roaring: You
will have to pay your fare or get off the
car" in a tone that startled every
one. II did not get your nickel, and
you know itl'
At that minute the man who had
nudged Stubbs to move over in the
seat he occupied with him dropped
off the car and walked the other block
to his office.
The next time Stubs rode in a
crowded car he gently touched the arm
of an acquaintance and got even for
the five cents he had lost and for the
chagrin he had suffered.-Chicago

No New Light Thrown on the San
Jose Case.
The Three Persons Under Arrest Placed In
a Bad Light,
Authorities Confident of Holding
Them to Answer for the Crime
The Wife of the Murdered
Man Warned by Her Attorney
to Cease Talking.

SAN JOSE, Aug. 13.-Sheriff Lyndon
returned from Santa Cruz County this
afternoon. At his office it is stated that
his trip has thrown no new light on
the Schofeld case, although the au-
thorfties say that they feel confident
of holding the three prisoners to an
swer.
The statement of DR.. Higgins is ex-
eeedingly damaging to their story Of
Schofeld's death at $50 Saturday
morning 1t is known that Friday
night was unusually cool for the sea-
son, yet when the body of Schofield was
found by those who first reached the
ranch the odor of decomposition was
exceedingly offensive. Several repu-
table people say that the flesh was
turning black, and that rigor mortis
was certainly passing off before noon.
Medical men say that relaxation from
the rigor of death does not come until
the tissues are beginning to be much
affected by decomposition. They also
state that the condition Of the body
as described would not occur under
eighteen to twenty-four hours after
death, depending on the state Of
health of the deceased, the temperature
and climatic conditions.
Mrs. Schofield is growing exceedingly
nervous. Her attorney his visited her
and notified her that she must cease
talking, under threats of abandoning
the case.
While all the prisoners tell practically
the same story originally given out, It
is generally believed that Irving Mann
has only such knowledge as might
come to him after the fact and that
butcher and Mrs. Schofield, if any,
have knowledge prior to Schofield's 8
death. Opinion differs as to whether
they committed the deed or We're the
accomplices of the party who did.

that you'll have to sponge out, and

you button this blamed collar for me?

a Shin,s Log.

Before the patent log came into ex-
istence the old-fashioned ship log was
the only means Of measuring a ships
rate Of sailing. 1t has one advantage
over the former, inasmuch as a vessels
speed can be told by it at any given
instant while the patent log is mainly
useful for recording considerable dis
tance run The o1d-fashioned log con-
sists OF four pieces, namely, the log

The log-chin is a fiat piece of thin
board, loaded with lead on the circular
side so that it viii float upright on the

fastened in the same way that a bow
kite is rugged to receive the string. The

line is 100 fathoms or more in length,
and is divided into certain spaces called
knots. The reel is made to turn freely,
so that it will offer no resistance when
the log-chip is thrown overheard. The
sand-glass contains just enough grains
to pass from one bulb to the other in
half a minute of time. This practice
of measuring a ships rate of sailing is
quite simple. The idea is that the
length between each knot is the same
part of a mile as half a minute is Of an
hour. Therefore the knots are placed
fifty-One feet apart What is called
heaving the log is thus performed: One
man holds the reel, another the half
minute glass; the officer throws the
log-chip over the stern, and waits a
moment, until enough line has run out
to carry the chip out of the eddy of
the ships wake, then calls Turn"
The man holding the glass reverses it,
and watches until the sand has run
through, when he cries, "Stopi" The
officer Immediately stops the line and
notes the number of knots run off,
which number represents the rate OK
