VIII Hiring hack Collins.

Lawrence Parker. who with John Col
Inns and Tim McGrath. is accused OF rob
bling the First National bank OF 5000, was
yesterday arraigned before Judge Cam
on a charge OF grand larceny. Parker
was not ready TO proceed with a prelmi-
nary examination. and the case was con-
tinued until Thursday.
At the request Of Deputy Prosecuting
Attorney Hart Judge Cam fixed Parker =
bail at $4,000. The fixing OF the bail in
such a large sum caused many Of the vet
Grams in the police court audience to open
their eyes.
Deputy sheriff j w Mcleod. accom-
panied by a Pinkerton detective, left yes
terday for San Francisco for the purpose
OF bringing back John Collins, who has
confessed that he was implicated In the
robbery. The police do not anticipate
that anything will result from the habeas

stituted.
The efforts Of the police TO locate Tim
McGrath, the third alleged thief. have
not yet been successful

had been arrested Monday night under
the orders OF chief Reed to lock up every
man who could not give good account

cure honest employment or leave town.
but those whom the court looked upon rs
hopeless were sent TO the chain gang for
various terms. During the session Of the
court some Of the prisoners managed to
get the outside door leading to the pri-

He then discovered he had drawn It
on the wrong bank. He expressed regret
for the trouble he had caused and forth
with produced $3.50 in gold in payment For
the ring and was given back the check.
Later IN the afternoon he presented the
same check, bearing the Endorsement Of

GAME LAWS IN FRANCE.
Rights of the Farmer Are Considered
and His Interests Protected.

In France the protection of crops and
farm stock is among the chief objects Of
the game laws. so much so, indeed. that a
French landowner is not only prohibited
from encouraging on his estate such
noxiOus animals as the fox, badger, otter.
boar. roebuck and rabbit. but is even
compelled TO organize for the suppression
of such scheduled ''vermn'' by periodic
drives; and neglect of either obligation is
likely to land him in costly claims for
agricultural damage
All manner of interesting legal bubbles
are common whenever the question crops
up of practical application of the laws
Thus, whereas in French law the prohib-
ton of night shooting covers only the
period of darkness, similar restriction
applied to fishing applies tc the entire
period between sunset and SUNRISE very
different matter in the summer months.
Again, very proper consideration Of
the extent to which intense cold may de-
prive birds of their wild instincts and
their powers of flight has prompted a pro-
hibition in France of shooting in the
snow; but here again, before prosecu-
ton can be established. it must be shown
that the snow was thick enough at the
time Of the Offense to enable anyone to
follow the footprints of the beast or bird.

Penny. The dog was left behind. ana

eat nothing and stood looking out of the
window for hours at time, whining and
moaning pitifully. The dog was vast.

Those who knew him said he was dy-
ing of a broken heart. When it was seen
that he would die if he could not see his
mistress he was taken to her. His Joy
at seeing her was extravagant. and he
at once got better His mistress soon af-
ter came to town for a two-weeks' visit
and left the dog with the servants in the
country. When she returned she found
him dead, .ying on one OF her garments
The poor brute, thinking himself again
deserted, lay down to die, and could not
be driven or coaXed from his place.
neither would he eat nor drink.
A horse belonging to a brewery had
been driven for years by a man TO whom
he had become much attached. One day
the driver failed to appear at the stable,
and another man was put on the wagon
The horse, however, refused to be driven
by any one excepting his old friend, and
after many trials he was put back in the
stable and another horse took his place
The horse continually watched the sta

fused to eat the hay and oats placed be-
fore him. Day by day he grew thinner
and weaker At last he fell down ana
could not rise, and died before his friend

mary surgeon who attended him said he
died of a ''brOken heart"

to work on an equal footing just as we
were at the beginning of time.
The story Of Adam and Eve should

THE SIGNAL CORPS.
Americans Had the First Wire Work
ing from Tien Tsin to Pekin.


Washington, D. c., Oct "a private
letter has been received by an officer in
the war department from Lieut.. Stan
ford of the Signal corps, which gives a
brief but interesting account of the work
of the Signal corps on the way from
Tien Tsn to Pekin. The weather was
so hot that men who We're accustomed
to excessive heat suffered severely. One
day two laborers with his party dropped
dead from the heat
Notwithstanding many difficulties the
signal corps pushed along, and though
Gen. Chaffee was in advance sometimes

ford's party consisted of himself and
twelve men of the corps. The Japa

carts for transportation, but it was deter

Pekin and they did not. The first wire
there was ours at the American minis

ing was ours. And after that our wire
was carrying messages not only for our

Austrian governments, besides the press"

"BRYAN" CLAUSES ARE HERE.
Manufacturers Are Protecting Them
selves from Disaster.

Manufacturers Are Protecting Them
selves from Disaster.
Manufacturers and their immediate
customers are beginning to get them
selves in shape for the dull times that
they know would ensue in the event of
the election Of Mr.. Bryan. Reports
from all over the country indicate that
Bryan clauses are soon to be the rule
in signing new contracts. The latest
is contract entered into between the
New Haven Carriage Co. and the J.
Curley Co. OF Brooklyn. The contract
specifies that the New Haven Company
shall furnish the Curley Company with
a certain number of carriages at a GER
tain price until November Is, 1901.
With the contract received by the Cur
ley Company was the following letter
from the New Haven Company:
1--WE enclose herein agreements
signed. You will notice that we have
made an Endorsement at the bottom
VIII you please indorse this yourself !?
1t is just as good policy for you to in
dorse it as it is for us, for you do not
wish to be bound down by anything in
case of such adverse circumstances as
would occur in the event of Bryan's
election
The Endorsement reads:
This agreement to be null and void
in case William J. Bryan is elected

Savings in National Banks,

No surer proof of the present pros
perity of the people of the United
States can be found than in the increas
ing deposits in the savings, State and
National banks. The latest available
data have just been published by the
Comptroller of the Currency, and cover
only a comparatively small portion of
the deposits in the national banks. but
they are sufficient to afford an indica-
ton of the whole.
The growth in twenty-six of the cities
of the country is as follows:
1896 .................. I39,604, 800
Increase .............. $685., 4S4, 096
The prosperity of the people is the
best reason why the election of Presi-
dent Mckinley for another term seems
certain.

Polling Favors Mckinley.

Judging by the results of the polls be-
ing taken in the big office buildings in
Chicago, an immense vote will be piled
up for Mckinley and Roosevelt in the
Republican wards of the city. That
this will be true has become evident by
the result of the poll in Marshall Field
& Co.'S big store, in the Marquette
building where the vote is five to one,
and in the Monadnock building where
it is six to one in favor Of the admins
tration. The Rookery, one of the
largest Office buildings, shows a still
larger Mckinley percentage, the ratio

THE YELLOW GARDEN.

In ring of emerald hills.
Where the sapphire Of the skiea
Overflows in lakes and rills,
There the yellow garden lies.
Every inch of fertile earth.
Every patch Of teeming sod,
In the sun has given birth
To spray of golden-rod.
There a square Of cavalry
Fell in battle, sword and plume;
And their gorgeous ghosts you see
When the acre bursts in bloom.
SOrcery has worked a spell
AS it did in days of old.
And has changed a common dell
To a field of cloth-of- gold.
