HINES MEEK LOOK
And Brig. Gen. Williams Little Talk
Helped an Arrant Thief

When Thos. j. Hines was called up for
arraignment on the charge of burglary
yesterday in Department one of the su-
perior court a meek and sanctimonious-
looking young man, who folded his hands
in regular Pecksnifian style in front of his
sweater-covered breast when the court
addressed him, stood up. He was accused of
having entered the room of one Edwards
in lodging house during his absence and
to have distracted 4 mandolin which he
Soaked"
Assistant District Attorney Williams,
who was present for the people, said to the
judge that he had investigated the case
and that he thought the prisoner was a fit
subject for the leniency of the court.
Judge Smith then asked Hines to give an
account of himself, and the sanctimonious
young man told in the kind of voice that
the "horrid example" uses at sanctifica-
tion meeting how he had expected his
trunk and money from San Francisco, and
when his belongings failed to show up
he had said to himself that he would just
borrow the mandolin and pawn it. When
his money came he would return 1t to Ed
wards, who wouldn't say very much about
1t. He did not say, however, that his ac-
quaintance with Edwards was so slight
as to make the borrowing of the mandolin
without the knowledge of its owner a GRIM
inal piece of presumption.
AS the burglary, according to the pris-
oners own statement took place in the
daytime, Judge Smith made it burglary in
the second degree and let Hines off with
one year in San Quentin.
To show how little the fellow was en-
titled to the leniency of the court, as As
sis.ant District Attorney Williams wanted
the court to believe, the criminal career Of
this convict is here given. On April 9Th of
last year he was arrested, being then Just
81 years old, on Broadway, by Detectives
Auble and Hawley, on two charges of
petty larceny for stealing couple of BIZ
cycles. He pleaded guilty in each case
and for the first offense was sentenced to
the chain gang for six months straight
On the other charge he got fine of 800 or
100 days, both sentences being imposed by
Police Judge Morrison Hines served his
full time, being released on January 14th
of this year. He was made trusty while
in the city Jail and edited the Holiness
Band by the way in which he read his Bible
constantly. Upon his release he prom
ised reform and went home to his people
IN San Francisco, who are prominent. He
soon came back here and it was not long
before he was at his old tricks again as
his sentence shows

The Arrival of tho Millennium

The date of the advent of this happy pe-
riod has so often been fixed by prophets of
many creeds, and there have been so many
disappointments that a grave doubt of its
reality has gotten in the minds even of the
credulous. It's arrival would be welcome
especially In our larger cities where crime
seems rampant But those acquainted
with the facts-and their name is legion
including many physicians of eminence,
are aware from personal observation and
experience that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is an admirable means of preventing
and remedying kidney and bladder COM
plants. Liver and malarial trouble, con-
stipation, sick headache, nervousness and
nausea are all overcome by this beneficent
regulator and tonic. When appetite Is
impaired and sleep broken or unrefreshing
wineglassful shortly before meals and
before retiring will do much to remedy
the difficulty. Use with regularity.

HOLIDAYS OLD SUIT
THE SUPREME COURT ORDERS A
NEW TRIAL
DAMAGES OVER A FAMILY ROW
The Troubles of a Baseball Player
With His Sister-in-Law May Be
Revived in Court

The supreme court has reversed the ver-
dict of jury which tried the suit of Fam
ME L. Holiday agains. Ed f. and Mrs. M.
+. T. Holiday in Department three of the
superior court, and remanded the cause tor
a new trial. Ed F. Holiday is better known
as bug" Holiday. baseball player
of renown. Mrs. M. P. 7. Hol-
liday, his wife. was a daughter of
the late Senator Thurman, and the
plaintiff Fannie L. is sister-in-law of the
defendants. In 1895 the whole gang man
aged to keep itself prominently before the
public by reason of family dissensions and
squabbles which were ventilated in the
courts, and Bug Holiday became quite
well known in the police court for disturb
ing the peace or getting drunk. The de-
PENDANTS are now supposed to live in Ohio
bug" and his wife, on August 10th.
1895, charged Fannie before Justice Young
with having threatened to burn their resi-
dence and kill them. She was arrested
and kept in the county Jail eight days, and
then ordered to give a peace bond in the
sum of $1,000, but was released from GUS
tody under a writ of habeas corpus by
Judge Shaw. She was Immediately re-
arrested on the same charge but released
on her own recognizance after having suf-
fered few hours detention, and on the
31st following was finally discharged on
motion of the district attorney and the
case dismissed.
Thereupon Fannie commenced an action
against her relatives by marriage for ma
licious prosecution and false imprison-
ment. When the case was tried the Jury
rendered verdict in favor of the plaintiff
for $500. and Judge York refused to grant
the defendants new trial, who then ap-
pealed to the supreme court, alleging that
some of the instructions given to the jury
were erroneous and that the superior court
also erred in refusing to give certain in
structions asked by them. 1t is on these
grounds that the new trial is ordered.

FRIDAY MORNING CLUB
Suggested Improvements in Proposed
New City Charter

The paper of the day at the Friday Morn
ing club was read by Mrs. Charlotte Wills,
on the new charter. Her paper was sug-
gestive of improvements that might be
made in the proposed new city charter.
among which were the following: Each
city or borough can make its own laws In
local and municipal matters. Thus the
proposition to amend the charter of the
city brings to women the opportunity to
ask for and insist upon the reform of CIV
ing to the female citizens municipal or
civil suffrage. especially to those who pay
taxes We in California seem to be be-
hind most of the states in the matter Of
even partial suffrage. The great middle
west, especially the northern belt, is the
progressive, liberal section of our nation.
Colorado and Wyoming have adopted full
suffrage and in Utah 1t is constitutional.
Arizona, Connecticut, Delaware, Idaho,
Illinois, Iowa, kentucky, Massachusetts,
Michigan and fifteen other states woman
suffrage exists in a limited way.
In the charter amendments improve
ments can be made in relation to the
school department. Section GO says: The
government of the scnool department shall
be vested in a board of education consist
ing of seven persons to be elected from the
city at large who shall serve without com
pensation. At present 1t consists of one
person from each ward, making nine per-
sons. The proposed change of choosing
members from the city at large will make
it possible and advisable to select for these
positions men or women who understand
school matters, persons of experience and
training as we'll as business habits, and
who are willing to devote their time and
energies to the best interests of educa-
ton. Heretofore 1t has been considered
chiefly as to what party and from which
ward each proposed member is from.
Section II says: "The board of education
shall have sole power to establish and
maintain public and high schools, to estab-
lish school districts. to employ and dis
miss teachers pay all salaries. to build
alter, rent and provide schoolhouses,' ETC.
three or four long columns Of duties for
the members of the board, to serve without
compensation. This seems unjust and un-
reasonable. Honest and competent men
and women cannot afford to hold such
position for any length of time. Those not
competent or honest are tempted to make
money out of the position in some way and
thus compensate themselves
Another amendment would be to change
the date of electing the members of the
school board so that certain number
should commence their term at one time,
another part two years later, leaving
always onc-half or two-thirds of the old
members in office. Still another change
proposed is to make the election of city
officers come in the spring instead of the
autumn, and part of the general state
and general elections as 1t Is now held.
At that time people are excited and ar
rayed on party lines and do not use calm
The herald., 1898-04-30

Judgment in the selection Of responsible
city officers. The board of education
should have women as at least one>half of
its members. No one will dispute the
statement that women are well qualified
to serve on school boards. They are al
lowed to act and vote in school matters all
over the civilized world, even where they
are not given any other similar duties Or
positions. We could find among our edu-
Gated and responsible women those who
would be willing to accept the office and
who would discharge its duties with credit
to themselves.

him set aside. She claims that he deceived
her on March 29th and persuaded her to
sign the deed, which he represented to her
to be merely a power of attorney authoriz-

benefit. AS Mrs. Rodriguez cannot read

THE HIGH RoLLERSTHIS WEEK

Possibly a personal description of
i he High Rollers, that is, the female
portion OF the combination, will be
more interesting to our masculine
readers who dote on burlesque per-
formanceS and the enchantresS of the
Vaudeville Stage, than any reference
to the real work of the Company dur
ing the performance; but all reports
as to the show given bv The High
Rollers, agree that it is the best road
the stationary New York productions
at any of the leading Burlesque or
Vaudeville theatres. This is very
unique, almost startling, for the majo
part of them are OF such SameneSs and
tamenesS, that they seem the pro-
jeCtS of managers whose craniums are
absolutely unfur nished with any cere-
bral furniture, but we pass this part
and describe the Girls, for upon their
appearance and beauty hangs all the
fame and halo OF BurlcSque. A neat
head, petiteneSs of feature, winSome,
/ intelligent expression, luminous eyes,
! rIppling mass of dark velvet halr
! (all A he High Rollers are brunettes)
ears like poems, teeth as pebbles,
whitened by the sea, lips that rhymes
terS compare TO coraline, and all that
sort of thing, with buSts and figures OF
Venus perfection, surmounted on d
pair of shapely legs, with a cham
pagne effervescence of manner as vi
vacious as Gvette Guilbert, and as
full of bottled up chic as Anna Held.
This is description of and the differ
ence between the Girls Of the High
Rollers and the usual run of bovine
damsels we are accustomed to see
with this class of attractions. See the
saucy Lydies, the bevy of humorous
young men, who are SO diametrically
different to the common lot They

a chance at such show But Society
has scarcely ever tried to initiate them
TO such degree as it is doing now.
There are already invitations out for a

quite the event of the season. The
Judge of the walkers is to have his
face blackened, and will be dressed
as a regular down-South negro. 7 hen,
seated on a table, he will pass jucg-
ment upon the different guests as they
file past him, two by two, man and
a girl. The standard of merit will be
the comical way in which they walk
along. Their costumes are TO be as
they wish. not necessarily comics. The

the most ridiculous fashion will re-
ceive the cake.-FrOm " >0cfety FddS' :
