BROWN ACQUITTED.
He Was Entitled to the Money He
Had Collected.

J. H Brown, recently arrested on
complaint of j. Rudell and charged
with misdemeanor embezzlement, was
tried and acquitted in the City Jus
tees Court yesterday.
Browns testimony showed that he
was acting as wharfnger and agent III
this city for the Merchants Dispatch
Company He worked for month
and a half, but received no salary
therefor. The purser of the company's :
boat gave him a bill of $500 to col
lect, and after he had done so he con :
suited with Attorneys White & Sey~
mour as to the advisability of attach
ing the money for his salary.
He was advised that attachment pro.
ceedings were unnecessary, and was
told to keep the money. Accordingly
Brown sent a bill to the agent of the
company in San Francisco, showing
that he had applied the money col
lected to his salary, and that $1OSO
was still due.
The company ordered him to forward
the money collected, telling him that
his salary bill would be settled later.
This he declined to do, and the suit
followed.
Attorneys White & Seymour ap-
peared for Brown, while City Attorney
De Ligne and Attorney Driver ap-
peared for the people.

LOOK OUT FOR HIM.
How a Fakir Manages to Swindle
the Women.

There is fakir in town who has
been working the gullible portion of
the community Chiefly women, how
ever) and has, it is said, done a good
business. Several of his victims have
discovered that they were buncoed, and
if they could lay hands on him he
would get his face decorated with
scratches.
The fellow made his appearance in
this city about four days ago, and
probably is here yet. The following
from paper published in a neigh5or-
ing town explains his method of swind-
ling people:

for patent medicine man who seems
to be a fake of the worst kind. He has
a medicine, which he claims will re-
move freckles, corns, make the hair
grow and do many other marvellous
things, but the great medicine man
could not be found; at least the Off
GERS had not located at IL o'clock.
This man is rather good looking
and he has an oily tongue. His stock
in trade consists of some kind of a
lotion done up in small bottles, which
in turn are encased in a neat box.

4 BuG-HUNTING EXPEDITION.
AFTER ENEMIES OF FRUIT
TREE PESTS.
Expert George Compere Starts To-
Day for Hawaii and Ori-
entail Countries.

The late Legislature appropriated
$500 to send an expert bugologist to
Australia and other foreign countries
to collect and ship to California para
site and predaceous insects to prey up
on scale and other insect life. which
preys upon California orchards and
fruits.
Governor Gage vetoed the first bill,
which called for an appropriation of
$4,000, but seeing that the Legislature
was bound to provide for bug
hunter he finally consented to sign a
bill appropriating $500 and did so.
And the bug hunter will start for for
eign parts to-day. His name is George
Compere, and he halls from Los An
geleS.
At the April meeting of the State
Board of Horticulture the matter of
sending an expert entomologist to Aus
traIla, New Zealand, ETC., to collect
and import into the State for general
distribution parasitical and predaceous
insects was considered.
Governor Gage, who was consulted in
the matter, suggested that Professor
Albert koebele be sent, or if possible,
to have the investigation made jointly
with the Hawaiian Government, under
his direction
The Hawaiian officials passed a reso-
luton rendering to the board all pos
sible assistance, but declined to do a
portion of the work.
AT the meeting George Compere of
Los Angeles was chosen to undertake
the journey and attend to the shipment
of the bugs, and he was instructed to
leave about July Goth for Honolulu;
thence on August 9th for the Fiji ISL
ands; thence on October 9TH to Aus
tralla; thence in February, 1900, to
Java and Singapore, to return to San
Francisco in about ten months, when, if
deemed desirable, he will be sent to the
south of Europe.
Mr.. Compere sails from San Fran
cisco for Honolulu this morning, and
takes with him for his guidance the
1olloWlng instructions from the State
Board OF Horticulture, advanced to him
by Its Secretary, B. M. Lelong.
1t is the desire of the board that the
investigation shall be extended over as
long period of time as possible, and
Tor this reason the funds at our COM
mand must be economically expended.
we do not wish to curtail or hinder
the work in any way, or strictly bind
you to the fulfillment of these instruc-
tlons, SO you are to use your best
judgment, but we believe that the ex-
penditures should not exceed at any
time $500 per month, so please try and
keep within that amount if possible.
"All insects are to be sent to Alex
ander Craw, Clay-street dock, San
francisco, who will care for the same
and attend to their distribution All
vouchers and matters relating to
finances are to be sent to the Secretary
at Sacramento, as we'll as anything
relating to further search or instruc-
tions.
You will report to the Secretary
from time to time as to your where
abouts, and such recommendations as
you may see fit or any information
that may be of particular interest in
this regard
While travelling, present your COM
mission to all railroads owned or
operated by their respective Govern
ments, for passes, acknowledging the

RIVER FRONT STRIKE.
It Has Practically Petered Out
Men Resuming Work,

Everything was quiet on the river
front yesterday morning, and the
strike of the deckhands of the boats
of the Sacramento Transportation Com
pany was believed to be practically
over.
A deputation of strikers waited upon
Captain Roberts, President of the com
pany, and offered to compromise by
returning to work for $40 a month
per man. The reply was straight from
the shoulder-$40 or nothing.
Many of the strikers We're evidently
weary Of the strike, and the company
had no trouble in taking on a crew
for the steamer Dover Stevedores
were busy all the morning loading the
boat, and load after load of merchan-
dize was landed at the wharf by local
merchants for shipment to up-river
points.
1t was openly asserted that only four
or five men who had some influence
with the strikers were holding out, and
that they were losing prestige No ef-
forts were made to keep the steamer
from loading and the crowd of strikers
had dwindled to less than half it's orig
inal size.
The Dover, having received it's load
of merchandise, left during the after
noon with full crew. Those of the
strikers who had not returned to work
made no demonstration whatever The
strike seems to be over, and the trans
portation company believes that the
boats will all be running to-day with
full crews.
While the police officers were quar-
tered at Front and " streets yester-
day. they had little work to do. Money
was evidently becoming a scarce arti-
Gle with the crowd, and there was
much less drinking than on Monday
and Tuesday.
