WANTED, SOME BURGLARS.
They Were Requested to Call and Steal
Valuable HeirloOms.

They Were Requested to Call and Steal
Valuable Heirlooms.
A man rushed into the business Office
of one of the daily papers and stopped
at the advertising window. There he
secured pad of paper and a pencil with
a string to it. He wrote and erased, and
then tore up what he had written, chew
ing the fragments savagely while he
made another copy.
"There," he sal at last, as he
thrust the paper into the hand of the
advertising clerk. count the words and
tell me what they will cost for one in
sertion. I reckon that will fetch them.
This was the advertisement:
Burglars are requested to call some
night this week on Mr.. and Mrs. Eras-
tus Brown, Ash court. A door and win
dow will be left open and every facility
offered for removing the spoils."
"But this is very unusual form Of
advertisement, y said the clerk, with a
troubled look. II don't know whether
to put it under the head of personal or
educational What is your motive, may
I ask?''
my motive?" said the advertiser,
sis to get rid Of an awful incubus Of
inherited truck without any RESPONSE
bility fastened upon me. I might burn
the house down, but in that case l
would be expected to save the heirlooms
or perish with them. Say, young man,
were you ever the vicl.nl Of legacy?"
"'No,'' said the clerk with friend
ly grin. what funny question. =
No old maid aunt ever dis and left
you dozen battered silver teaspoons
that had come down from Oliver Crom-
well?'
"Neverr'
lucky chapl Never had eolil ill

bibulous old uncle who was disgrace
to the family while he lived, but prom-
ised to return and haunt you il yen
didn't entertain his comrades once a
year out IF that bowl?"
IT should say not.
"Nor great grandmothe who left
you silver soup ladle with coat of
arms of some unknown dead and gone
ancestor which must be placed under
your pillow every night for safe keep
ing?"
mo- said the clerk. IT belong to
plain, everyday people, and we haven't
a coat Of arms to our backs. -
Be thankful, young man. You little
realize what d blessed lot is yours. To
crown our misfortunes, another relative
died in Paris last week and left us hor
diamonds. But / draw the line at dia-
monds, and SO does my wife. We take
turns now sitting up with the silver.
After the burglars come and clean ns
out we shall begin to live. Put that adj
vertisement in a good place, and I'll let
you know if we hear from it. S'long.

cost more in tips to the servants than a

he could not afford it. "R you will

You can talk freely to woman when

Women suffering from any form OF

women only. A woman can freely
talk of her private illness to a woman.
Thus has been established the eternal

the women of America which has never
been brolsen. Out of the vast volume
of experience which she has to draw

YALE'S FOOTBALL TEAM
Is BADLY WEAKENED
Cadwallader, Its Famous Center
Rush, Enters the University
of California.

NEW YORK, Sept. ia New Haven
Comm special to the Herald says: News
was received in this city to-day that G..
L. Cadwallader, the big freshman who
played center rush in the Yale University
football team last year, will not return
to Yale this year. Cadwallader has en-
tered the University of California at
Berkeley, Cal. His loss to the Yale
eleven Will be irreparable. He was not
only a clever center rush, but his great
impregnable in line.
The reason for Cadwallader's not re-
turning to Yale is that he failed to main
tain an average Of over 2:25 in his studies
and the faculty refused to allow him
to return to college If he played football.
Rather than give up football he decided
to go to another college where faculty
Yale are greatly disturbed by the loss
Of Cadwallader and at present do not ex-
pect to be able to replace him.

PERSON REINFORCED.
Friends Hasten to the Bolinas Mining
Mans Assistance.

BOLINAS, Sept. 16-The excitement
over the collision between young Don
Pierson and his opponents is still at
fever heat, and is augmented by the fact
that additions to the Pierson forces are
constantly arriving here. Several friends
of the mining man have come from San
Rafael and other points. To-day Her
bert Murray, a Stanford graduate and
warm friend Of Pierson, arrived in re-
Spouse to an urgent call from his friend.
Don said he was afraid Madsen and
Longley would secure their release On
bail" asserted Murray, "and In that case
there would in all probability be, more
trouble. He thought, in view of the set
tied sentiment against him, he would
need all the friends possible"
Since Murray's arrival, Persons predic-
ton proved true, 50 far as the release
of the men is concerned They were
taken before Justice Pepper by Sheriff
Harrison and released in the sum of $500
bail each. All those interested in the af-
fair are armed to the teeth and If
there is another meeting Of the opposing
forces it Is feared loss of life will result.
Young Pierson is disliked here on ac-
count Of the claim that he Is 'too much
Of a dude" The sentiment against him
is really because Of the unpopularity of
his father, J; W; Pierson sr; In the
present trouble the respectable element
Of the community sides with the mining
man, as it is clear that the others were
the aggressors.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. 16.-It was quiet
at the track after the immense throng OF
yesterday and but little coin changed
hands. Five trotting and pacing events
were decided, of which favorites took two.
In the running events a favorite and
second choice were successful.
Toggles, the sturdy little Fresno horse,
driven by Charles Clark, was the star
performer of the day in one respect. He
was favorite in the opening betting for
the free-for-all trot, and in drive
downed the fast-coming Monterey a half
length in 2:1015, a new track record for
trotters. Then he was done, for Monterey
gathered in the succeeding two heats and
the purse.
The mile dash for 2:16 class trotters APP
peared to fit Prince Gift, and in the books
he was a prohibitive l to faYorite. 1t
was only an eIsrGise Jog for him. R s. ne
Donation, behind Lou, took second money
from May b, with a little to spare.
The two-mile dash for 2:20 class trotters
resulted in a grand dump for bettors. The
event was looked upon as little oil from
the big can for the southern horse, Ned
books. Farmer" owen of Joe Wheeler
fame fancied the chances of Nellie Bly,,
and few checks were strung that way
at odds of and TO l. From the manner
in which Driver Hellman and Ned Thorn
ratified off the first mile with DR.. be-
hind his bike it looked all over. After the
next three-quarters had been covered,
though Ned tired perceptibly, and was
passed at the head of the stretch by Nelly
Bly,. The mare then won as she pleased
in 4:47, and Farmer Owen acknowledged
the applause from the stand by doffng
his hat.
1t looked as though one had been
