HOT Oven FOR GRAY
DETECTIVE PINKERTON De
SCRIBES THE PROMOTER
Sold Programs for Colonel Jack
Haverly-Shady Business
in Paris

The San Francisco Call prints the follow
ing dispatch from Chicago-William \.
Pinkerton Of the Pinkerton Detective Bu-
reau had this to say regarding Charles DE
Garmo Gray, whose wife committed suicide
in Los Angeles:
Charles p De Garmo, alias Colonel
Charles ?. de Garmo, alias Count De Garmo,
alias c. p Gray, was well known around
Chicago, and in fact all principal cities in the
east. He started in life as an usher or pro-
gram seller for Colonel Jack Havery, who
had a number OF amusement companies on
the road and he probably derived the title
Colonel from the fact that Colonel llav-
erly used to dress him up in uniform while
he distributed programs on the street.
Later he returned to Chicago, and il The
days OF the old Chicago Driving Park asso-
citation OF the West Side he was program
seller on the race track. lie was always
cheeky and was fantastic in his dress, and
his associates were all among people from
the half-world. For a while in Chicago he
thrived of the earnings OF Il noted woman
named Bessie Melville. When she drove
him away he wrote letters threatening to
commit suicide if she did not send him GER
tain sums OF money The woman paid no
attention to him and he driited away to
the Pacific coast, posing as IA promoter of
theatricals. etc.
In San Francisco he became acquainted
with lrma Stewart Stanley, an actress OF
the burlesque type. She was large fine,
stoutly built woman; he was small stunt
ed looking fellow, his height being only
about five feet three inches, and they made
a queer looking couple He brought her
through Chicago fooled the newspapers re-
garding his intentions Of marriage, and
then they went to New York, where he
lived by his wits. Eventually, with his
wife, he started for the Paris exposition in
1887.
In Paris he picked up precarious living
as 'procurer' for young Americans who
were on their first visit to the city. He
also acted as a courier for parties who could
stand his cheek and nerve. His wife separ-
ated from him in Europe and remained
there. De Garmo returned to Chicago dur
ing the Worlds Fair year and engaged in
an advertising business in company with a
man named Boyle.
His advertising scheme was called the
Little Worlds FAIR The whole transac-
ton was bunco scheme and Mr.. Boyle
soon found that De Garmo was doing moth
ing but eating up his money, so he broke
away from him.
The next heard Of him was in New York,
where it is said he was employed
as 'stool-pigeon' for the police
department. From there he drifted
out to South Africa. While in
South Africa he was the cause of exposing
Charles William, alias White, as being the
man who married Mrs. Nagle in Cheyenne,
Wyo., and attempted to decamp with $780,
600 of her money. De Galmo remained in
South Africa for about Il YEAR, and then
drifted back to this country to introduce
his pule-food shows.
The last heard of De Garmo was in San
Francisco, where he attempted to get up d
pure-food show at Oakland, Cal.

MEETING AT ISLETON.
A Strong Speech by Hon. William
Johnston

The people of Isleton last night lis
tened to one of the best political ad-
dresses of the campaign by Hon. Will
lam Johnston, Republican candidate
for the Assembly in the Twenty second
District
Mr.. Johnston was not in Isleton for
the purpose of making a speech. Like
many others he went there to hear
Judge A. P. Van Duzer expose the fal-
lacies of Single Tax Mcguire but the
Judge failed to connect The people
were there, however, and they had
brought their Republican enthusiasm
with them, and were not to be denied.
The most natural thing in the world
was to call on Mr.. Johnston for an ad-
dress.
meeting was organized, with D. H.
Marvin, Sr., as presiding officer and J.
W. Cox, A. r. Harvie P H Gardner,
Hugh Vance, Ed Date and William
Steele as Vice Presidents. Mr.. Johnston
delivered an address that consumed
most of the evening, and if Judge Van

sition which he holds
My friends, the eyes of this whole
country are on California. Her close
relation to the Philippines makes her
the great factor in the questions that
are being considered, and I want to say
to you that if you cast your vote
against the Republican nominee it will
be accepted by this country and by Eu-
| rope as a repudiation of the course of
the Administration through this war.
That is the real issue.
They have voted against every
| measure that would help this State, in
this war, in the matter of Hawaiian an
nexation and in everything else. Are
You going to vote for men thus handi-
| capped by objectionable transgres-
sions?
Why, to excuse themselves for vot-
ing against that $200,000,000 war bond
issue they are saying that they thought
! there was enough in the treasury, and
more might not be needed. And in te-
| sponse to that call, for which they lid
not vote. there came an offer of 81, 400
| 100000 instead of $500, 100000: and
that offer by our own people showed
| Europe and every other country on
earth that they wanted no trouble with
us. 1t was worth more than 100000
soldiers in the field.
And yet they cast their votes against
it. They placed paltry dollars higher IN
the scale than the blood of thousands
of our soldiers, and that sort of patriot
! ism is not of the American kind"

On the 9TH and 9th inst, at the Or
pheum. the popular drama 1.-The Span
of Life" will be produced by as good
a company and with the same attention
to detail characterizing the first pro-
duction of the play here. The action of
the piece takes place in England and
Africa The first scenes are on the
coats of Devonshire. At the opening
of the play an Intellectual effort is made
to blight the existence of Richard
Blunt who, with his wife, goes to the
diamond fields of Africa. There he is
bounded by an old enemy, Dunstan
Leech, who has taken up the calling
of a slave trader. Aided by Arabs
Leech seizes Bluns's wife and child, but
they are set at liberty by Blunt. In
the effort to escape the mother f1eeS
through an African wilderness; reach
ing a gorge, finding the bridge gone,
she resolves to slay her child and COM
nit suicide. From this appalling situ-
alton she is freed by there appearing
on the opposite side of the chasm three
followers of her husband who hit upon
the device of intertwining themselves
lengthwise. then flinging their inter-
locked bodies across the chasm for a
living bridge for the imperiled mother
and her child to safety Blunt, with
reinforcements, is able to bring his per-
secutor to justice. and having acquired
wealth returns to England with those
dearest to him.

VICIOUS LUNATICS.
Proposed Law Governing Their In
carceration.

Some of the members of the State
Commission in Lunacy have had sew
eral consultations with the Code Com
missioners relative to the preparation
of a bill for presentation to the Legisla-
| ture, defining the course to be pursued
in cases where lunatics violate the law
prior to their commitment to State asy-
lums.
1t is the custom to arrange lunatics
who have violated the law, call a jury
and then notify the Superintendent of
the hospital to which they are commit
ted to deliver them-in case they re-
cover-to the Sheriff of the county from
which their commitment issued, but as
there is no statute regulating the mat
ter the custom is not always followed.
In speaking of the matter yesterday,
a member of the commission cited the
case of Ferdinand w Uhl, who in De-
| cember, 1897, shot and killed Patrick
Murphy while the latter was walking
along the streets in Oakland. Suisse
quent to the murder Uhl attempted to
shoot Constable, but missed his aim
Uhl, the Commissioner stated. had
been released from one of the State
asylums as cured a short time before
TIE LHuFueF. lie was arrested, exam
ined by two of the Lunacy Examiners
of Oakland, declared insane on the
sworn statements of relatives, who tes-
titled that he imagined he could see the
Virgin Mary and the twelve apostles,
and was committed to an insane asy-
lum by one of the Superior Judges Of
Alameda County.
The danger of allowing such commit
mentS without a formal trial, the Com
missioner said, was obvious. He had
no fear that the present Superintendent
of the asylum would discharge UhI
without notifying the authorities, but
said he might be succeeded by a corrupt
official who for consideration would
discharge the patient as cured, and al
low him to roam around a menace 20
society. until he killed somebody else.
He said that in cases Of commitments
similar 10 that of Uhl there was moth
ing to prohibit an unscrupulous Super
intendent from releasing the patient
whenever he saw fit.
1t is probable that a bill covering the
ground and closing up the loophole of
escape for lunatics with criminal or
violent proclivities will soon be drawn.

Service of the Holly.

A picturesque shrub, especially use
full at this time of the year, is the holly,
with its tough and shining spinous
leaves and its pretty little full round
berries. 1t is the only plant appro-
pirate to this happy period that re-
lieyes the dead green and monotonous
white of the non Towering plants and
vines supposed to belong to Christmas
and the days that follow until Epiph-
any. Like the mistletoe, most of the
holly exposed for sale in American
marts comes from Great Britain,
although some species of the plant
grow in the Southern States. The
commercial holly, however, is cut in
Scotland aud sent here in bags. 1t is
most valuable to work up in combina-
ton with laurel, ivy and mistletoe to
wreaths, anchors, stars and other de-
signs, while for running decorations,
that is, long festoons and great sweeps
of green, few of the bright red ber-
ries wound in at regular intervals
heighten the effect and relieve the eye.
The favorite manner of arranging holly
for sale is to make it up into some one
of the numerous designs appropriate
to the day and the season, and thus
most of the plant offered this year is
fashioned. Holly is not SO expensive
as the mistletoe and is more hardy and
lasting.

and grew and became hard and took
the form of just what the children had
been talking about.
But the Princess was getting very
tired. They stopped finally in little
room where there was big bed and q
little crib. There was sweet-faced
woman putting little girl to bed. The
child said her prayers, then lay down
aud closed her eyes. She opened
them again and said softly: Mamma,
do you think Santa Claus will bring
me q doll? 1 don't want big one,
just wee little one" and the mother,
who was dressed all in black, said: 'I
hope so, darling" Then silence came
upon the room. The clocks tolled mid
night and the mother fell asleep. The
Princess turned to her guide and said:
"Santa Claus, if you please, think
I'll stay here" Santa Claus nodded,
but said not word. Then the Prin
cess climbed into the crib, although
she had on her ballroom dress, her
bracelets, her fan and her gloves. She
got under the bedclothes and put her
head upon the child's arm and her arm
around the child's neck. Then she
closed her eyes and fell sound asleep.
And she was still sound asleep in
the morning when the child awoke and
found the Princess in her arms.
