A GIRL BURGLAR.
Amelia Tierney Admits Breaking In
to a House to Get Money for
Her Lovers.

The preliminary examination of Andrew
Costello, an ex-convict, on the charge of
burglary for breaking into the house of
Mrs Jessie Mcleod, 1414 Kearny street,
was held before Acting Police Judge Barry
yesterday, and an extraordinary state of
affairs was disclosed.
Mrs. Margaret Tierney and her daugh-
ter Amelia, IA years of age, were also
arrested on the same charge, and the
girl admitted on the stand yesterday that
she alone committed the burglary. Co.'S
tello and a companion, Victor Marchand,
were her lovers. and on the day of the
burglary Costello said to her, Say, go
and get me some money" She knew that
Mrs. Mcleod was not at home, so she
went to a rear window, broke the glass
and crawled through the window. She
went to Mrs. McLeod's bedroom and stole
500, a watch three rings, bracelet and
other articles. After committing the
burglary she gave Costello S. and Mar
chand ST. and also gave each one of the
rings she had stolen. Neither Costello
nor Marchand knew where she had got
the money and rings.
The girls mother testified that Mar
chand gave her the ring which was found
in her room. Marchand and Costello both
denied that they knew anything about the
burglary and the Judge came to the con-
clusion that the charge of burglary
against Costello could not stand. He re-
manded the two boys into custody until
tomorrow to see if they could be held
for receiving stolen property, and released
Mrs. Tierney on her own recogniZance
Amelia was sent back to the Magdalen

CRIMINALS RECEIVED
HEAVY SENTENCES
SUPERIOR JUDGES SEND MANY
ACROSS THE BAY.
Burglars, Petty Thieves and Other
Lawbreakers Placed Out Of
Mischief for Years.

The criminal departments of the Su-
perior Court held their monthly sentence

were hastened out of the way of temp
tation.
Judge Carroll Cook occupied the morn
ing by presenting stiff sentences to the
criminals brought before him. James
Murray and Michael Brogan, convicted of
burglary of the first degree were award
ed two and four years, respectively in
San Quentin. Frank Ricardo withdrew
his plea of not guilty, and admitted hav-
ing passed a fictitious instrument on
Goldberg. Bowen & Co. He was given one
year in San Quentin. Ricardo had a thirst
for champagne and he tried to satisfy it
the Cosmos Club to an order calling for
ten bottles of dry wine. He was caught
in his attempt, and now his aristocratic
tastes will have to give way to cold water
within the walls of the famous prison.
John Maloney, charged with an assault
on Charles Calliotos, was sentenced to

captured in the act of breaking into the
residence of John Schumacher, corner of

THE PRESENT TIME.
State, but if So, Warrant
Will Bring Him Back.

An effort was made yesterday to serve
summons on L. s. Megginson in the suit
filed on Friday by ]. F. Turner to recover
$144,600 worth of property, but without
success, and it is thought that he has left
the State.
Turner says he has had the house in
which Megginson lived watched for the
last ten days, and has arrived at the con-
clusion that Megginson has left the city
for parts unknown. Turner says If he
finds that Megginson has departed and
he cannot reach him to serve him he will
next week swear out the warrant on one
of the four charges of perjury he has
against Megginson and will at once ask
the aid of Chief Lees to have him brought
back to this city. He will then be placed
where he can be found when wanted.
Turner says he has been told Meggin-
son was in the State of Nevada the first
day of this week, but upon reading The
Call of the 18th inst. he at once started
East, and it is thought he has gone to
the home of his brother in Ohio.

oBEYED THEIR PARENTS.
Otto E. Won Rhein Files Suit for Di-
vorce Against His Wife, as
Pradicta5

Fred1cted.
AS was predicted in The Call of yester-
day, Otto E. Won Rhein, son of the we'll
known real estate dealer, filed an action
for divorce yesterday against his wife.
Ida A, on the ground of desertion.
A romantic story hinges on the separa-
ton of the young couple, who were Sc
cretly united in marriage The fair de-
fendant was formerly Miss Ida A. Son,
daughter of A. A. Son, the well-known
merchant. When the announcement of
her engagement to Mr.. Won Rhein was
made in October, 1897, her parents showed
a disposition to oppose the match. In
their effort to thwart the young couples
purpose they decided TO send their daugh
ter abroad; but Cupid discovered the plan
and a secret marriage was decided upon,
and within a few weeks after the engage
ment they were clandestinely united.
Mrs. Won Rheims parents believed they
had nipped their daughters hopes when
they sent her to Europe the same month.
but the secret marriage became known.
The parents of the pair met and decided
that a dissolution of the marriage bonds
was the proper thing, AID the filing of the
suit yesterday was the result. Mrs. Won
Rhein came back to this city last Febru-
ary, but did not return to her husband.
1t is said she will not oppose the suit.

ROD AND LINE.
Fishermen on Fishermen's Wharf
Are Selling Small Bass Con-
trarv to Law.

Steelhead fishing on Russian River has
shown no marked Improvement since last
week. A few spent fish are caught occa-
sionally by anglers who are bountifully
supplied with leisure moments.
The large run of fishes which local
anglers had hopes of anticipating when
the bar at the mouth of the river was
opened by employees of the railroad did
not delay on the order of going, but left
in double quick haste when the first heavy
rains swelled the flow of water to old
ocean.
Thousands of fish reached their spawn
ing grounds in good season. and in all
probability the streams that empty into
Russian River will have plethoric. sup
ply of little fish next summer. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful whether anglers will
have an opportunity of enjoying anything
like sport this year-that is, as far as
fresh run steelheads in Russian River are
concerned.
At Point Reyes there are hopes of a
late run of fishes. In fact, quite few
steelheads were seen last Sunday in the
pool near the White House, but they re-
fused to acknowledge all kinds of lures.
Striped bass are also in evidence at Point
Reyes; but, like the steelheads, they are

that may tickle their fancy. nice fat

On Thursday morning, about 10 o'clock,

the drivers deliberately set to work filling
their boxes with small striped bass that
averaged half pound in weight. The
fish were purchased from the net fisher
men, who had also large supply of her
rings in their boats. Bass over three
pounds in weight were not sold. but
thousands of little bass were carted from

IN THE GRIP EPIDEMIC
Special Use Of Hot GrOgs
)r. CYRUS EDISON
Dr.. LIBERMANN.
of New York Health d
Surgeon General of the French Army.

H. Libermann, NJ. D., surgeon gen.
eral of the French army, in an article
on La Grippe" Qnfluenza), recon-
mends the following hot grog: "One-
third goblet of Vim Mariani, with two
thirds boiling water, cloves and cinna-
mon, and with or without sugar, makes
a grog of exquisite flavor. which pro-
duces immediate beneficial effect in Sc
we're cases of cold, attended by convul-
sive coughing and depression. 1t is
best taken at bedtime. In the grip
epidemics in France it was the tonic
absolutely relied upon. and has re-
ceived frequent deserved mention in
the medical press. 1t has been shown
that patients recover very slowly.
There is much general weakness and
lassitude invariably calling for some
thing in nature of a mild tonic stimu-
liant, and it has been found that Ma
riani Wine is unequaled for such
cases."
DR.. Cyrus Edison of the New York
Health Department has made careful
study of the subject in his book on La
Grippe" published by Appleton & Co.
On page SO he writes of Vim Mariani
and calls special attention to it in the
form of hot grog. In speaking of the
complete prostration accompanied by
the depression caused by this disease,
and also during entire convalescence,
his preference for a tonic stimulant is
a hot grog of Vim Mariani. He says it
is excellent for the purpose intended,
and recommends it's use freely. The
remedy is simple and within easy reach
of all who suffer from this dreaded dis
ease.
A book with further explicit details
will be sent by Mariani & Co., 81 West
Fifteenth street, New York, to any one
who will write requesting same. It is
certainly we'll worth writing for.
In addition to the able authorities
quoted, the book offered contains many
more similar and most convincing in
dorsements, thus proving it the most
reliable of all known products of this
character.

Secretary John F. Carrere, of the State
Commission in Lunacy, has addressed a
communication to the Supervisors. calling
their attention to the disposal of money
found on the persons of insane patients
taken to the City Receiving Hospital.
1t has been the custom to deliver 1t to
friends of the unfortunates or to others
on order of court.
Commissioner Carrere quotes an opin-
ion of Attorney General TREY L. Ford, in
which that official says the money should
properly be delivered to the Sheriff and
by him turned over to the State Hospital
authorities. He asks the board to instruct
the superintendent of insane wards TO
comply with the law.

A Pleasant. Simple, but Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for It.
Catarrh of stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable The
usual symptoms are full or boating
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings for
nation of gases, causing pressure on the
heart and lungs and difficult breathing;
headaches, tickle appetite, nervousness
and general played out. languid feeling.
There is often foul taste in the mouth,
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny infiamed condition.
The cure of this common and obstinate
trouble is found in a treatment which
causes the food to be readily, thoroughly
digested before 1T has time to ferment
and irritate the delicate mucous surfaces
Of the stomach To secure a prompt and
healthy digestion is the one necessary
thing to do and when normal digestion is
secured the catarrhal condition will have
disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlanson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each
meal tablet, composed of Diastase, Asep-
tic Pepsin, little Nux, Golden Seal and
fruit acids. These tablets can now be found
at all drugstores under the name of Stu
arts Dyspepsia Tablets, and not being q
patent medicine can be used with perfect
safety and assurance that healthy appe-
tite and thorough digestion will follow
their regular use after meals.
Mr.. N. ]. Booher of 2710 Dearborn st.
Chicago, ILL.,, writes "Catarrh is a local
condition resulting from a neglected cold
