Kenneth, tugging at the pail cover

"You wait an see Any O you fel-

The cover snapped of. The boys

as poor Kenneth's little hungry
stomach! It wasn't his lunch pail at
all. Why hadn't he noticed there
wasn't any small red worsted bow on
the handle? This was mammals milk
pail, and he got it in his hurry. On,
dear!
Of course, the boys-being boys
laughed at him loudly; and, of course,
Kenneth's face reddened angrlly. But
he made big, brave effort and joined
in the laugh. There was great

And, when Kenneth went back to
his desk there was a generous Dime,
spread out on it, waiting for him.
Every boy had shared his choicest

So. you see, Kenneth wasn't hungry
when he got home to mamma at night,
except for his missing kiss. But he
was ever so much wiser.

IT WAS CHURCH MONEY
Pocketful Of Pennies Help to Convict
Henry Lewis Of Burglary

Henry Lewis was tried for burglary in
Judge Smiths court yesterday, and last
evening the jury returned verdict of
guilty.
The family Of ]. T. Musgrove OF 2S21 Mich
igan avenue were all away on May H. and
on returning home in the evening discov-
cred that the house had been robbed of
various sums of money, including 1894,
which belonged to the Junior Epworth
league, of which Master Willie Musgrove
was treasurer, and other larger sums, in
the aggregate about $27.67. The neighbors
had seen strange man about the prem
ises, and on the description given Henry
Lewis was arrested, and when searched at
the police station his pockets were found
to be full Of pennies, nickels and dimes,
with enough gold and greenbacks to make
about $65. The pennies, nickels and dimes
amounted to about the sum taken from the
little iron bank in which the Musgrove boy
kept his Epworth league money.
Lewis commended that he was not in the
house at all, but merely knocked at the
door as a vendor of medicine, which he
carried in a little satchel. But the jury
would not have it that way, and the Of
fender, who is said to have been musician
in this city for number of years, will prob
ably have to serve a sentence in the peni-

plaintiff had no knowledge of Williams
connection with it, cid no. do the work either
for Williams or upon the faith of Williams

the facts above stated partnership existed

Gdnnis were on the contract. by dts terms,
1t is contract on behalf Of La Campania

1.-THE whole agreement between the de-
PENDANTS was one for the advancement of
money and property for the benefit of a
contemplated corporation, which was to be-
come the owner of the premises upon which
the development work was to be done. This
corporation, though actually formed after
ward, never acquired the option nor as
scented to any contracts made in its behalf
by defendants, and therefore no liability
ever accrued against this corporation. hence
the contract signed became the personal
contract of those signing. Admitting all
the testimony in connection with the tran
saction. 1t nowhere appears that Williams
was intended to be bound as an individual
by this contract when 1t was made. The
motion for non-suit on behalf of defendant

NATIVES OF THE ORIENT
Forty Chinese Who Must Show Cause
for Being in the Country

Tor Being IN the country
County Jailer White has his hands full
and overlooking. The new cause of trouble
is a band of forty Chinese who were ar
rested by Inspector Putnam night before
last and are held to show cause why they
should not be shipped back to their native
country.
The prisoners, who constitute a most pic
turesque and interesting array of Oriental
representatives because of the fact that they
are professional Chinese actors, came to this
country in 1895 under the provisions of a
special act of congress which permitted
excluded foreigners to enter our gates for
the purpose of attending the Atlanta expo
sition. Kee Ow Kay of New York, who had
the Chinese theater concession at the expo
sition. was their importer and they came in
by the eastern route. The special act of
congress before referred to permitted them
to remain in the country one year after the
exposition closed, but they have apparently
made no effort to return and have been
playing in the Chinese theater in this city
for the past four months.
Inspector Putnam has been carefully
looking up their records for some time, and
early yesterday morning he had the whole
gang arrested and placed in the county Jail.
There was but one woman In the lot, Kan
Toy, who is the seamstress in the company
and who has once before been hauled UP
on the same charge, but was discharged, as
she probably will be this time.
The Six Companies attorneys, Marble &
Phibbs, and T. A. Riordan of San Francisco,
were at once notified and have taken charge
of the defense. The hearing has been set for
Saturday morning at 10 o'clock before Com
missioner Van Dyke.

HAvANA's MoRRo CASTLE
How a Party of Americans Got Per-
mission to Inspect It

1t has not been given to many American
citizens to inspect thoroughly the famous
Moro castle at Havana, especially since
the time of the Virginius tragedy. For
this reason Henry Allen of Ill North Boyl-
ston street, in this city, looks back with
peculiar pleasure to his visit to that grim
historic fertilization, which now stands for
the defiance Of Spain to the United States,
1t was in 1887. There was in the party
with Mr. Allen, among others, New York
travelling man named Gilmore, who had
the assurance and persistence which men
of his craft find it necessary to cultivate in
large measure in order to achieve success.
The party was sightseeing in Havana,
and one day its members were landed at
the gates of Morre. To their dismay, they
were told that since the Virginius episode
Americans were not allowed to go through
the castle. Coaxing did no good; they
could not make themselves understood
"It was then the genius of Gilmore came
into play" said Mr.. Allen, smiling at the
recollection of the incident "He happened
to remember the name of the surgeon at
the castle, and, taking one of his own
cards from his pocket, he presented it to
the officer of the guard, at the same time
pronouncing the surgeons name. He had
never even seen the man, mind you.
ut was nearly half an hour before the
surgeon could be found, and in the mean
time our party and the Spanish officer
stood there bowling and grinning at each
other, like society people at function.
Finally the surgeon came, and you should
have seen the look of amazement on his
face. But Gilmore was equal to the occa-
sion. The surgeon could not speak more
than half dozen words of English, but
he was finally made to understand that
we wanted to 30 through the castle. He
had his doubts about 1t. We could see that
from the way he looked at Gilmore's card
and then at us. But finally he beckoned to
us to follow him, and he showed us
through the castle from top to bottom,
underground passages and all. There were
no particular features to see just at that
time. but suppose 1t won't be long before
the castle is demolished by the shells Of
the American fleet. am very glad had
the opportunity to see the interior Of the
fertilization, and that pleasure we owed to
the native wit and commercial assurance
of the New York travelling man.

Judge Van Dyke yesterday heard the case
of Mrs. James d. Daniels against S. G.
Baker, in which the plaintiff alleges that
she made defendant deed for house and
lot on which he held a mortgage of $500,
with the understanding that the property
was to be returned to her for the amount
of the mortgage when she was able to pay
1t. She claims to have paid the amount in
small installments, and that the defendant
refuses to deed the property back.
Defendant alleges that the plaintiff has
never paid him cent. excepting rent money
for another house in which she lives. The
case will be finished this morning.

SWAP DIDN'T GO
The Court Was Not Slow in Expressing
His Opinion in the Matter

In the case of Letitia c. Boyce against
Hattie L. Wells, a suit growing out Of a
real estate swap that failed to go through
Judge Van Dyke yesterday ruled for the
defendant without hesitation or considera-
ton, further than that given the matter
during the trial of the case.
The court found that the deeds were
placed in escrow to be acted on Jointly by
the parties to the contract; no delivery and
no title ever passed, and the papers were
surreptitiously taken out of escrow and
placed on record. Judge Van Dyke said fur
Their that 1t was one of the worst cases that
ever came before him, but that the criticism
might not apply to the plaintiff.

Valencia in the Reform school


United States Deputy Marshal w. H.
Cline returned yesterday from Golden, Col,
where he went to place young Valencia,
who was convicted of breaking into post
office in San Luis Obispo county, in the re-
form school Young Valencia is a native son
and this is his first experience of any state
other than his own. He is a descendant 6f
one of the old Spanish families of San
Luis Obispo county but the mother is dead
and the father is a cripple, and he fell into
bad company. He has good manners and
has had some schooling. Mr.. Cline thinks
after three years of restraint and discipline
he will probably make a useful citizen. The
Colorado state reform school is the nearest
institution to this city that has a contract
with the government to receive refractory
youths who have violated the laws Of the.
United States. AS far as Mr.. Cline could
learn in his brief visit, the school is well
managed, the boys being taught some useful
trade that will be. of benefit, to them after
they are released.
