Foibles of Great G.sn

The weakness of great man IS often
that feature which contains the most in
terest for the student of human nature
1t may be of interest to know that Napo-
leon set aside $4,000 year for dress.
Unfortunately, he had weakness for
white breeches. and often, while wholly
absorbed in state affairs, he would spill ink
or coffee on those delicate trousers, which
he would hasten to change on discovering
the spots. This circumstance cost the
blameless but timid Comte de Remusat
his place as master of the robes. The en-
peror spoiled his clothes so frequently that
the imperial tailor was constantly receiv-
ing fresh orders, and $4,000 became insuffi-
cient to meet the bills. The master of robes
was foolishly afraid to mention the subject
to Napoleon, and continued to give unsat-
fsfactory replies to the insistent tailor who
became pressing in his demands. At length
becoming exasperated, the tailor took the
bold step of complaining to Napoleon, who
learned with astonishment and anger that
he owed his tailor $1,000; he paid the bill
and at the same time dismissed the fright
ened Comte de Remusat.

frowning at the same time at his newly ap-
pointed master of robes. "that you will not
expose me to the disgrace of being dunned

A STRANGE DEATH
An Ex-Convict Expires Suddenly at
Santa Ana


SANTA ANA, March 2S.-An unknown
man died suddenly in this city at about
o'clock Saturday evening at the Sycamore
lodging house on Third street. He arrived
In town Saturday morning and stated that
he came from Riverside, thinking that the
lower altitude here would benefit his health.
He wandered around town all day, talking
to several different parties and telling
them a pathetic story of his past life
how he had lost his wife and property, etc.
At about o'clock in the afternoon he was
found lying near blacksmith shop, on the
corner of Third and Sycamore streets, in a
dying condition. He was carried to the
lodging house, where he died in short
time. BY some marks on his underclothing,
his name was thought to be G. Prince, un-
til Sheriff Nichols looked at the remains,
when he noticed a strong resemblance to
O photograph Of an ex-convict named j..
w. Scott, who was recently released from

almost identical. Scott had been sentenced

oner Mills held an inquest yesterday, and
the jury found that heart disease was the
cause of his death. kilograms have been
sent to Los Angeles and Riverside, in hope
that some friends or relatives might be
found, but all efforts proved futile, and the
remains will be buried this evening at the
expense of the county.

Winning Their Way in New York

for themselves in New York and manag-

comfortable proportions and promises to
increase. They have attracted the sort Of
attention that is very likely to prove Of
the strongest assistance to them. Mrs.
Astor has given them the seal of her ap-
proval, and that fact Is already well en-
ough known to have its results. They are
decorating dinner and luncheon tables, a
field that has by no means been LETT unex-
plored by young women who are trying to
support themselves. But these two young
Westerners are trying the plan in a new
way. They are florists as we'll as decorat-
ors, and when they undertake the work 1t
is only on the condition that they shall
|supply the flowers. Then they do the dec
Grating for nothing. In the West they
were at one time in possession of large
greenhouses, and became as expert in the
management of them as If they were pro-
fessbnals. That knowledge demonstrated
its utility to them today, and they have
now become enrolled in that army of out
of-town women who have found success in
New York. Several well-known young wo-
men in New York have become florists, but

Trouble in Temecula

RIVERSIDE, March 2s.-Robert Hatha-
way, o resident Of Temecula, Is locked up
in the county jail, with charge of resist
ing and assaulting an officer placed against
his name. 1t is charged by Deputy Sher-
III McConville Of Temecula that when he
went to arrest Hathaway last Saturday
the latter set upon him and beat him Sc
verely. Hathaway was drunk at the time
and was creating a disturbance of the
peace. Hathaway is the same person who,
last New Years day. set upon Justice
Welty of Temecula. At that time guns
were drawn and a very nasty row resulted.
At irst It was the intention to prosecute
Hathaway to the full extent of the law for
that fight and assault. but the charge was
reduced to simple assault and the defend
ant was nominally fined. An information
has been filed by the district attorney in the
superior court against Hathaway, and this
time he will be prosecuted to the full ex-

SAN BERNARDINO. March 2S-There
pearance Of Olive Tragear. daughter OF
Mrs. Annie Tragear Of Cotton. A gambler
named Al Castro is under arrest as con-
nected with the affair. The girl. who is II
years OF age, came over to the theater Fri
day evening, passing the night with friends
since which time no trace of her has been
discovered.
As she did not return home Saturday, as
expected, her parents began to make in
Quiries. the result being that the case was
reported to City Marshal Reeves Sunday
afternoon. The marshal at once began to
look for the suspected man who was sup
posed to be the cause Of the girls disap-
pearance.
Suspicion fastened on AL Castro. owing to
the mother finding several letters from him
to her daughter while looking over her
effects. These showed that they were ac-
Quaintances and as he is not a very desir-
able friend for any young girl, the sus-
picions OF the mother were aroused and she
hurried over to place the case in the hands
Of the officers.
AL Castro rooms in the White House, Just
across the street from police headquarters,
but did not show up at his room Sunday
night. This morning he was seen to enter
the store of Al Mettler. friend who has
known the family for eight years. and the
arrest soon followed. The accused was
held until a complaint could be sworn out
at the office of the district attorney when
he was turned over to the county officials
and brought before Justice Soule. who
held him under $1,000 bonds for his appear
ance for preliminary hearing. He secured
AL Mettler and James Murray as bondsmen
and was set at liberty.
There is no clue to the girl as yet, but 1t
is thought she is concealed In Los Angeles.
Castro, who is said to come from promi-
nent family In the northern part Of the
state, states that he is slightly acquainted
with the girl and that she came to him and
borrowed $40. which he gave her and knows
no more of her subsequent movements.
The police and officers are making a
thorough search Of the lodging houses in
this city, believing that the girl is con-
cealed here and that the story of the $40
told by Castro is for the purpose of throw
ing the officers Off the track.
