enue?" said worn and dred-looking
young woman of two fortunate-appear-
ing youths al the city ball corDer.

"Oh, yes, 1 will" replied the other,

ABLE TO BEAT ANY NATION.
Says II Fighting a Great Power We
"a Would Lose st FIRST But Win.

Lord Wolseley, the commander in
chief OF the British army, in conversa-
tion with an American said:
1.-The United States would make mis-
take in attempting 10 invade Cuba with
volunteer who are not fully drilled and
disciplined. If that was done the Unit
ed States might expect heavy reverses
when those troops encountered the
trained Spanish troops on the island.
"It would be a grave error TO un-
derestimate the strength of the adver-
saries of the American troops. Iwould
regret TO see the Americans even tenn
porarily beaten, as all my sympathies
are with them.
''It is fortunate" Lord Wolse!ey con-
tinueG, "for the United States that this
war is not with irst-class power, for
it is evident that in such an encounter
they would be badly beaten at the be-
ginning, though believe the Americans
able to defeat any nation in the long
run"

The prisoner was taken before JUS

who could have drained the fountain of

there as at some other places. The
angry bride insisted upon attending the
trial, and in the midst OF it she so far
forgot herself as to level pair of opera
glasses upon the court, whose big head
bore striking resemblance to brush
heap. 1t was new one on the justice
and too much for him. He swiftly
ducked under the table and shouted:
deputy, disarm that woman" After
getting the drop on her the officer Sc
cured the glasses and laid them ginger

roared that the woman was fined ST. ,00C

Alfred Overend of ID Franklin street was adjudged guilty of contempt of court by Judge Wallace yesterday afternoon, fined $500 and sentenced to be imprisoned in the County Jail until 10 o'clock this morning. Overend is the man who a short time ago manifested his confidence In Minnie Campbell, woman of the ten- derloin district by loaning her $220O to be used as bail money for the release of her father, who, she said, was charged with murder in Los Angeles. Investigation proved that her story was false, and in consequence Overend caused the arrest of the woman and her accomplice, William Lewis.
 Overend relented later and when the case came up for trial before the Superior Court he refused to testify on the ground that he might incriminate himself Prose- cutor Black interrogated the prisoner at length, but he refused to respond to any question. The court was appealed to and Overend was ordered to answer the uues- tions He refused and Judge Wallace ad- judged him guilty of contempt When court convenes this morning he will be again questioned, and in the event of a refusal on his part to answer he will in all probability be sent back to the cell he occupied last night

Best Time to Sleep.

In view of the many changes which
have been rung on the early to bed,
early to rise idea, the following opinion
from an eminent medical authority
ought to be of interest. He takes up tho
old statement that an hour before mid
night is worth two hours after and
gives his opinion us follows: II had an
opportunity to make somo study of this
subject Ill my naval service during the
late war. On shipboard, as is undoubt-
edly known to most of you, the ships
officers and men aiike-stand
four hour watches day and night, and
to get the required amount of rest are
Obliged to get their sleep irregularly.
10 so arrange it that the Same man
shall not be obliged to take early or late
watches continually, the dog watch
of two hours is interpolated, thus add
ing to the irregularity. In watching
the results for over two years could
never discover that the watch, officers
and men, were not as fully refreshed
by their sleep rs were the medical and
pay officers, who stand no watch and
have hours as regular as those of any
householder. 1t seems to make but
little difference to those who have Civ
en- careful attention to this subject
whether people sleep at one time or an
other, so that they get sufficient
amount of sleep. New York Ledger.
