A BIC WALLER" DIAMOND
Ernest Hogan Sported II When
Last in Butte.
SHINES FOR HIM NO MORE
1t Was Worth Small Fortune and
Was Taken From His Dressing
Room While He Was Doing a
Turn on the Stage.

When Ernest Hogan was last in
Butte he sported great big "yaller'
diamond, which he valued at a small
fortune and which formerly belonged
TO the late w. j. Seaman.
Hogan has 1t no more and the San
Francisco Chronicle of Feb. q tells
| about its loss as follows:
Ernest Hogan, the composer of rag
time songs. who is travelling with the
Black Patti operate combination now
holding the boards at the California
theatef, yesterday caused the arrest of
Tom Lansing, the prize fighter and
Sandy Sanborn, negro, upon the sus-
picion that they had stolen from him
a diamond stud which, he claims, cost
him $3.50. Lansing and Sanborn were
taken TO the California street police
station, where they We're searched in
the hope that their clothes would yield
up the treasured gem, but nothing in
the way Of jewels was found on them
They We're transferred to the city
prison, where they will be detained
pending an investigation of the matter
by the police.
According to the story told by Ho-
gan, he was relieved of his solitaire
while doing turn on the stage at the
matinee yesterday afternoon. Shortly
before Hogan went on, Lansing and
Sanborn. he says, entered his dressing
room to ask him for a couple of seats.
Tom Trice, negro and old time friend
of Hogan, was then in the dressing
room with him. Hogan arranged for
the seats, and then went on for his
turn. When he left the room his shirt
was hanging up, and the alleged $50
stud was in it, On his return to the
dressing room Lansing and Sanborn
had been shown to their seats and the
diamond had disappeared from the
shirt on the wall
Hogan questioned Trice about the
matter, and was told that while he
was on the stage Trice had left the
dressing room for a few moments,
Lansing and Sanborn remaining in
side. Upon the strength of this Hogan
sought d policeman and had the two
ticket seekers taken into custody.
Each of them denied his guilt and in
timated that Trice was the guilty
man, as he was in the dressing room
when they left. Hogan. however, re-
fused to believe that Trice had any
thing to do with the matter as he
had been a lifelong friend to him and
he had great confidence in his honesty.
AS Hogan tells it. the missing dia-
mond was bought by him from the
widow of the late w. ]. Seaman, the
Irish comedian, at cost of $3.50, and
was one of a number of rare gems that
he had purchased from her at the ag-
gregate cost of $4,000
After being detained at the police
station for several hours Lansing and
Sanborn were released. Detectives Glib
son, Wren and Oman finding that they
had not sufficient evidence to hold
them.

THE CURFEW ORDINANCE.
Correspondents insists That 1t Is Not
Being Obeyed.

The following letter from corre-
spondent in Butte is self-explanatory:
Editor Anaconda Standard:
! have once before called the atten-
tion of the press to the eurfew law or
ordinance and the fact that it is being
obeyed i'm the breach rather than i'm the
observance. If we make laws we do so
because we think there is occasion for
them. In the case of the curfew ordi-
nance there was, at the time of its
passage, occasion for its creation. To-
day, with largely increased popula-
ton, there is more occasion for the law
and its enforcement than there was at
the time OF its passage. and yet it is a
dead law. it is not being enforced in the
slightest degree. If the city fathers
would wander about the city at any
hour from to II p. m. they could find
hundreds of children. mostly boys up to
all sorts of boyish tricks. The language
that | have heard many of them use
would cause young native of the
Whitechapel district in London to turn
green with envy. He would have con-

THE TRIUMPH OF oDANNY."

Several years before the discovery of
oil at Pithole an Irishman named Nc
Carthy and his son Dan came to this
country from the Emerald Isle. Dan
was a young man of twenty, but his
father looked upon him as a mere boy,
and seemed to take delight in ridiculing
him before people.
"Yis, Dan is a good by" he would
say sarcastically, but, Danny, me
by, Yell niver set the river on fire."
This was his stock witticism, and it
annoyed Dan very much, but he did
his best, and soon surprised the old
gentleman by securing a lucrative
job.
"Yis, Danny has job all right" he
said: 'it's a dollar and a half a day,
but the b'y'll niver set the river on fire.
Not he.'
When oil was found at Pithole, Dan
hurried to the scene, and was soon
earning unusually large wages as a
teamster. All the petroleum was
drawn in barrels and teams were in
great demand. He saved his money,
bought an acre of land, and soon had a
well drilled that was producing one
Ilullureu UttIIelS VI Oll per udy at SlU
per barrel. The elder Mccarthy Joined
him, saw the well, received liberal
Gift of money and then shook his head
ominously.
TITS a good thing, Danny" he
croaked; 'yere dom well; but mark
me worruds, Yell niver set the river
on fire, by"
| A few days later flood wrecked one
| of Dams small wooden tanks, the oil
ran down the river, and there was
great excitement. As Dan and his
father stood on the bank watching the
oil float away, Dan drew a match and

newspaper find an account Of one
James Briggs, noted Rhode Island
rascal. The writer says that Briggs
had been convicted and punished for
various crimes, such as forgery, count
erfeiting, etc, in Rhode Island, under
the ferocious penal code of that anti
quated little republic; both Of his ears
had been cropped, and his face has
been branded several times; his head
now looked MANNED, disfigured and hid
eous. To conceal his deformity in part
he has cultivated to full maturity a
vigorous growth of whiskers so that
neither the loss of his ears, nor the
wounds on his cheeks are observed by
strangers" The Briggs family of that
time furnished many subjects for the
courts here. At a little later period the
Hicks family supplied the greatest
number of great criminals, these were
chiefly murderers; Albert Hicks the pi-
rate, who was hanged in New York,
was the latest specimen.
AS late as January, 1885, the statute
of Rhode Island provided the death
penalty for six crimes, to wit, murder,
arson, rape, robbery, burglary and petit
treason last crime, under the En-
glish law, consisting of the killing of a
master by his servant, a husband by
his wife. superior religieuse by Sec
ular, or by a religious man. These
crimes were then, and have always in
the United States been regarded in law
like any other murder, and punished
accordingly. Hence the absurdity OF
the Rhode Island statute. If man
killed, with malice, his wife, his crime
was only murder. But if a woman
killed her husband, it was petit treas
on. The statutes were filled with the
most contradictory or incongruous pro-
visions. The law of 1922, and until the
revision of the code, provided fine

and Imprisonment for ''unlawfully"
cutting another with intention to
MAIN or disflgure a person." but law
fully, cheeks could be branded with hot
irons, ears cropt, and backs lacerated.
Blasphemy was crime, but the laws
do not state what blasphemy was. To
swear profanely was q crime, costing
the swearer so cents; it was cheap
enough. Until January. 1888, the pun
ishment for stealing horse, which was
made specific offense, was a fine not
more than $1,000, and Imprisonment not
more than three years, and whipping
not exceeding 100 stripes.
1t required 40 years of agitation to
force the General Assembly to change
these things; the people were ready for
the change in 1896, and urged it's being
done, but the Assembly resisted, and
the people could not overthrow the
General Assembly until 1912, when all
these things were changed.
The consideration of these matters
leads Book Notes to recall sentence
imposed upon boy by Judge Wilbur.
Two boys, brothers, 16 and Is years of
age, We're on indicted and sentenced
without trial, one for three years, the
other for four years in the state prison.
1 quote from the Evening Bulletin, LIST
| October, 1896: 1.-THE court sentenced
! Marshall (Carter) to four years and
Arthur, to three years in prison. The
| former receiving the greater sentence
| because of his having passed signifi-
cant glance at the other prisoners"
The boy, addicted to evil practices,
made an Involuntary contortion of the
facial muscles at his sentence and it
cost him year in the state prison. He
was powerless either to prevent or to
help himself. Where in the Rhode Is
land statutes is the power given to a
judge to impose such a sentence for
such an offense-which was not an Of
Tense. This incident is a sufficient rea-
son for considering the measure OF
punishment for crime in Rhode Island.

The Stock Market.

New York, March 2.--The net result
of to-day's trading in stocks is the
practical wiping out of yesterdays
gains in prices. This was done on a
diminished volume of business. The
decline was not accompanied by any
development Of general conditions
which could account for it, and there
was no reflection of any news Of the
day in the movement, unless in the
slightly increased selling movement in
the final hour. This was started on
rumors attaching Importance to the
sending of two warships to Cuban wa
tiers with provisions for the reconcen-
trados. But to-day's decline for she
most part was technical and marked
the elimination of the recovery from
last weeks sharp fall. This short rail-
ly invariably follows heavy decline
and the professional traders were vigil
lantly alert for its end this morning.
Dealings in the first hour were large.
and the movement of prices very mar
row. The commission house buying in
yited by yesterdays strong market
was sufficient to absorb realizing offers
for time, but the market became
overweighted and commenced to sag.
A period of intense dullness interviewed
and then the bears opened an attack
on number of the specialties, nota-
bly, Sugar Manhattan, Peoples Gas
and Metropolitan Street railway The
grangers were also under pressure and
New York Central was heavily sold.
Most of the days business was done
in these stocks and all suffered marked
net losses running from / to over
points. The movement in Metropolitan
was very erratic, the opening transact
lions carrying it to 1875, the high point
of the day London was both buyer
and seller here, but the sales predomi-
mated, although the tone of American
securities ON foreign exchanges was
rather better and Spanish bonds were
also higher. The money market con-
tinued firm to-day without any very
active pressure to borrow There was
a good supply, however, of commercial
paper and the rates were fractionally
higher There was a payment of ST.
100000 to the government to-day on ac-
count of the Kansas Pacific sales SO
that the sub-treasury was creditor
at the clearing house in the sum of
$s1s,725. This had its effect on the
money market and took the place of the
regular weekly withdrawal of an in
stalment of the governments deposits
on account of Union Pacific sale, which
has been discontinued for the present.
Sterling exchange hardened an addi-
| tional fraction in response to the firm

RHODE ISLAND CRIME PENAL
TIES.

Harlxing Back to Ancient Days-An
Examination Of the Measure of Pun
ishment for Crime in Rhode Island.
The measure of punishment for crime
is question which has engaged the at
tention of some Of the ablest men and
women of modern times. How much,
and how administered, for certain
crimes is the question; first the meas
ure, second the method of punishment.
The theory of punishment is not that
of retribution, but rather from the sup
posed deterrent quality to be derived;
men are punished in order to induce
other men to refrain from falling into
the same courses as were followed by
the person punished. The efforts of
John Howard, and at a later period, of
Elizabeth Fry, to ameliorate the sever
tiles of barbarities inflicted upon pris-
oners century ago, both in England
and in. this country, are trite to English
readers, but the efforts Of those who
