PRISON DIRECTORS MEET.
Warden Hale Authorized to Sell One Million Convict-Made Grain
 Sacks

A special meeting of the Board of Pris. on Directors was held yesterday, and, af- ter lengthy discussion. 1t was decided to authorize Warden Hale of San Quentin Prison to advertise the sale of 1000, ,OO( grain sacks
 Warden Hale appeared before the com- mission and stated that he had about two million and a half sacks on hand and that he believed it advisable to dispose of a part of them.
 Under the law regulating the sale of grain bags manufactured at the peni- tent1ary, no purchaser can obtain more that 5000 sacks unless by consent of the Prison Directors. In view of the fact that the output has far exceeded the demand the commission decided to place one mil lion sacks in the field, the limitation as to number bought being for the present withdrawn. The price of the sacks was set at previous meeting at $5 30 per hundred.
 The directors also authorized an ex- penditure of s175 to build corrugated iron building at San Quentin, where the waste corder' will be placed. The "cor- der" is at present in the jute mills. and catches fire on an average of three times a week. Fortunately for the State, the fires have always been discovered in time and quickly distinguished. Should fire occur in the jute mill much valuable ma- chinery would be ruined, so the directors thought it better to have the waste cor der' isolated.

After few years of life with his sec ond wife domestic trouble commenced and a divorce was secured by Mrs. White. The cattle king was ordered to pay alimony by the court, but he re- fused to pay 1t and a suit was the re- suit. Judgment was secured against him, but he would not recognize it and he was thrown into jail for contempt of court. That was nearly three years ago. He, however, settled the griev- ance against him, and ever since he has been looking for another wife. He made love to many, but he could find none to suit him. He consulted the spirits on his matrimonial aspirations, and they told him to watch the col umns of marriage paper published in this city, and in that way he was made acquainted with the young lady he made his third wife.

As White has the means to pay if anything goes wrong he stands his losses with reasonable grace and praises the ghosts when things come his way.
 The spirits advised him to make his third matrimonial venture, and the wedding of yesterday was the result
 The bride was Miss Louise Began, a pretty young lady living at BIO Tehama street. She had known her aged suitor but short time when the wedding was arranged. He was an ardent lover and an energetic man for his years. His beard was kept a shining black with a liberal use of dye, and in the fire of his love he strutted about with all the vigor of youth His blazing diamonds and frequent and costly presents cap- tivated the young lady. When a we'd ding rousseau was suggested the aged lover looked to it, and the bride stood beside him before the minister in rustling white silk gown which showed off her pretty figure to an ad- vantage the happy groom admiringly appreciated. Rev. Dr. Cryor, the pas tor of the Westminster Presbyterian Church, performed the ceremony Miss Anna Hannon was the bridesmaid and the maid of honor was Miss Kate FL phinston. John P. Began, a brother of the bride, supported the groom Only few of the friends of the bride were present at the ceremony. There was a breakfast after the marriage had been performed, and then the newly married couple took the train for Los Angeles They will remain there for a short time, then take a trip through the southern part of the State and prob ably go to Mexico.

The Bartender Was in Front of the Place When the Robbery
 Took Place

Sneak thieves succeeded in robbing the cash register in the store of George Buz- zinf, liquor merchant at Eighth and Minna streets, few days ago.
 While Bartender J. G. Marks was en- gagged in conversation with a customer in front of the store, the thieves quietly entered at the side door, and while one kept a lookout, the other ransacked the cash register. Marks did not discover that the place was robbed until he went to the register to make change. Not cent greeted his eyes and he could not ac- count for it's disappearance Further search showed that two revolvers and a pocket knife that usually reposed in the drawer were missing
 Marks said that the reason why he did not hear the bell of the register when 1t was opened was due to the noise of heavy traffic passing the store

MCPHERSON SUSPECTED.
Federal Officers Are Looking for a New Opium Ring Now at Work.

There were rumors on the water front and in Federal circles yesterday to the effect that A. W. McPherson is suspected of being the leader of a new opium ring. An old Federal inspector, who has had his eye on the movements of McPherson and his followers for some weeks. said yesterday:
 Tt is hard to say just how the new gang is operating, but it may be safely said that Government officers are on their trail and that it will be impossible for the detection. McPhersons conduct relative to Cuban matters has also excited con- siderable suspicion, and it is thought he has something under way in aid of the insurgents, possibly in connection with Captain Mahoney."

It was decided to have a 2 per cent reserve fund. to be collected from all the games to be played, and this is to form consolation purse to be played for at the end of the season between the three leading clubs, and is to be divided in the ratio of 50, 30 and 20 per cent. Governor Budd has promised that when the season is over that he will give to the winning club a handsome banner, to be known as the champion ship flag. When the regular season Is ended there will be a series of games played here between the champion club of this league and the champion club of some other Coast league to be selected later.
 It was currently reported that the or ganiZation of the Pacific States League was nothing more or less than a re- vival of the malodorous carnival that was held here last year. Upon this sub- ject T. F. Robinson, the manager of the Recreation Park, at the corner of Eighth and Harrison streets, expressed himself in no uncertain terms.
 He said: "The California League will run again this season and it will show the Examiner that baseball can be successfully operated here without it's support This new league is being fathered by the Examiner, and it wants to get in and glorify itself some where you can rest assured on that. understand that it is offering the clubs less money to go with this league, with the understanding that if they do they will receive the support of the paper. The league cannot hold all of the clubs that it claims are going with it. As for the Reliance Club, for instance, the California League controls the park there and the club will play with our league. Some of the other clubs that are claimed will not be with the new league.
