NICKEL-TN-THE-SLOT.
Boys of Tender Age Who Blow
Their Money In.

John Siege, who conducts shoot
ing gallery at Eighth and K streets,
was arrested by officer Fisher yester-
day and will be charged with violating
City Ordinance No. 400, which specifies
that nickel-in-t -the-slot machines, con-
Quoted on a cash basis are gambling
devices and therefore contrary to the
statutes made and provided.
The ordinance makes no provision for
closing up machines which promise
merchandise, but only for those in
which you drop your nickel and some
times get ten cents out of the little
cup at the bottom, but oftener don't.
officer Fisher says that when he ar
rested Siege a dozen small boys, none
of them over 10 years of age, We're los
ing their nickels as fast as possible.
One little fellow had lost S1.2O and was
crying. Fisher says that when Siege
saw he was liable to be arrested he
offered to return the boy his money.
The ordinance fixes the minimum fine
for the offense charged at $50.

CHARGED WITH BURGLARY.
JAMES DARWIN ARRESTED BY
SHERIFF JOHNSON.
Said to Have Taken Various Arti-
cles OF Furniture From Va
cant Houses.

For some time past vacant houses
have been entered, and in many IN
stances articles of furniture, such as
clothes presses, mantel tops, etc, have
been stolen. From a vacant house on
Third street. on the corner of the alley
between y and O streets, large ward
robe was taken away. From resi-
dence on Fifth street another ward
robe disappeared. These goods were
sold to a local secondhand furniture
store by a man named James Darwin,
who represented to the dealer that they
were the property of his mother, VINO
had broken up housekeeping and was
going away. They were hauled to the
dealers place on an express wagon.
On Saturday last Darwin agaln
called, and this time he brought val
liable mahogany mantel top with fine
mirror. The furniture man, growing
suspicious refused to buy the article,
and Darwin agreed to send for 1t aud
take it away. Sheriff Johnson learned
of the affair, and arrested Darwin on
suspicion of having stolen the mantel.
Detective Max p. Fisher, after con-
siderable difficulty, ascertained that this
article was stolen from the premises Oh
No 1896 O street, the house belonging
to a sister of John Breuner, and not
being occupied at present.
Darwin claims that he met a young
man gathering a sack Of wood in the
alley between Third and Fourth and \
and O streets, who asked him II he
wanted to buy "a glass with fine
frame, sight unseen" for 10 cents and
that upon the representation that the
article was worth considerably more he
bought it from the stranger; that he
paid him the % cents asked for, and
received from the stranger a piece Of
paper with the address on it where the
mantel was to be found; that he then
hired an expressman to go TO this place
and haul the article to a secondhand
furniture store.
Darwin claims that he did not know
the house where the stranger said the
mantel was, and that the first he saw
of the mantel was when the wagon drew
up in front of the furniture store. The
expressman, however, states that Dar-
win came to his stand and minutely de-
scribed the premises, stating that the
1oor would be found open and the man.
tel taken down and put in the hallway.
Darwin is an opium fiend and also an
eX-cOnVict, having served term of one
and one-half years in San Quentin for
burglary committed in Modesto, STAN
islaus County. He is also the man who
served sixty days in the Marysville jail
with Leroy and Searight for opium
smoking, and came to Sacramento with
them When Searight and Leroy were
on trial for having assaulted and robbed
a japanese named l. Honeda IN the al
ley between Second and Third and n
and L streets, on March 18th of this
year, Darwin, having been arrested as
an accOmplice, turned States evidence
and thereby secured his freedom. 1t is
believed that a charge of burglary,
with a prior conviction, will be placed
against him.

IN THE EVENT OF WAR.
The Treasury's Condition Bet
ter Now Than at Any Time in
Eight Years.

The Dingley act, like the original
Morrill, Tariff, was framed to meet
peace conditions. In the extra session
of Congress, which began on July 4th
1861, duties under the Morrill, act were
increased in many cases, and new taxes,
external and int ernal, were devised
Congress will provide new taxes in the
present session if they are needed, for
it will not adjourn until hesCuban issue
is settled or in definite course of settle
men.
In any case, Secretary Gage will
have no problem to meet like that
which confronted Secretary Chase. In
April, 1861. when Sumter was attacked
and the war began, the Treasury was
virtually empty. Moreover, the Gov
ernment's credit was low, and loan
which the Treasury tried to loatin the
latter DAYS Of Buchanan's adminlstra-
ton brought in only o trifing amount
Of money. That part Of the country
which was loyal to the Government
compromised only about fourth OF the
population Of the present united nation
and less than d fifth Of the present na-
ton S wealth. The Treasury Is III bet
ter condition now than at any timesinca
1880. and the Improvement is contl1-
uous. The Governments credit, abroad
as well as at home, was never higher
than it is to-day. 1t is as high in the

The effect of the Dingley law upon
manufacturing may be inferred in part
from the great activity in most lines
which has been observed during the last
few months. A proof of it's bearing up
on industry is found in the fact that
importations of manufactured articles
during the first half year of its existenc
fell off more than twenty per ceet from
the importations of the corresponding
months under the Wilson law. AS to
the character of the act, however, there
never has been any question in the
minds of the mass of voters. Thus far
the Republican party has every reason
