A PRETTY GOOD TRICK.
bat Raymond Man Made One Fatal
Mistake.


John W. Riggs of Raymond came to
the city yesterday and went to Bernstein
pawn shop ON Fore street where he
Thought that he saw a gold filled watch
which was stolen from him during the
month OF April. This is the story that
he told to the police. Officer Hanson
investigated the case and went to the
pawn shop accompanied by Riggs. The
watch was shown and Riggs at once
identified it. But Bernstein was not Will.
ing to give it up, saying that he had had
the watch for over year and that Riggs
was trying to get it under false pretences'
bernstein said that in the morning
Riggs had called at the shop and had
taken the make and number OF the watch.
Riggs denied that he had done any
thing Of the kind. Deputy Marshal
Chenery then searchad the man and
found in pocket slip of paper on
which were written the make and num-
Der of the watch. Riggs was much con-
founded at this disclosure and Deputy
Chenery at once had him locked up.
The case will probably be heard at this
mornings session of the Municipal court.
The police say that this is a new case OF
sickness and are much amused at the
cute continuance which they think Riggs
tried so hard to work.

ter and forcing their shares on the mar
ket In the interest Of the shareholders,
therefore, the law may rightfully require
publicity.
How, 1t may be asked, will this help
the public? The public will then know,
says Professor Clark, what plants they
own, what they gave for them, what they
are worth mt present, for how much they
can be duplicated, what appliances they
contain, whether Anticipated or modern
in short, what Is the substantial basis
for the value of stocks and bonds that are
placed on the market" When all the
facts of the business are made public,
then II the Trusts charge too much for
their products, competition will bs excit
ed, new mills win be built, and prices
Will come down. We understand that
in some Trusts not even the directors are
only the managing officers are admitted
to such knowledge. The first step in the
way of reform must BE- the uncovering of
facts connected with the business.
The next step which Professor Clark
advises Is to abolish customs duties on
all articles manufactured by Trusts. lt
Is true that Trusts exist in free-trade
countries, but their power for harm is
very slight, and their powers here would
be much curtailed if this remedy We're
applied. Professor Clark is not, however,
in favor of general attack on the tariff
system, and he sees difficulties in the
way of this remedy arising from the SOL
idarity of the tariff interests. He consid-
ers the question whether 1t is possible to
regulate by law the prices of goods made
BY Trusts, and thinks that this cannot
be done. He asks also whether the state
may enter the field as manufacturer,
either TO compete with the Trusts or to
take their place, and decides that this
plan must stand or fall with the gener-
al cause of socialism," He has no conti-
dence in that remedy.
There is one other means of curbing
the Trusts, and that Is to open the door
of competition with them, where they
have closed 1t or sought to close 1t. Pro-
lessor Clark would have laws TO prevent
and punish what are called factors
agreements, I" which are in reality boy
colts, by which dealers in their goods ara
required to buy exclusively from them,
they giving certain advantages in re-
turn They should be compelled also To
sell to all persons and to all sections of
the country at the same price. 1t Is their
practice, upon occasion, To crush COM
petitors in one place by lowering their
prices there, while keeping them up or
even arising them in all other places.
This they are enabled to do by their enor-
nous capital and their greater command
of the market. Professor Clark thinks
that this is one of the most crying evils
of the Trust problem, and that it is Il
remediable one. At all events he would
attack It by all the powers of state.

BRYAN'S RUNNING MATE.
Cong. suIzer Wants Nomination Pretty
Badly.

Kansas City, June 2s.-The city
tas begun to put on convention appear
ance though very few delegates have yet
arrived. OF the candidates for Vice Pres
ident, Mr.. Sulzer already has headquar-
tiers opened and some enthusiastic BOOM
ers on the ground. No one here pretends
to explain the talk about ex-senator Hill
and western Democrats say that his an
nounced intention of coming to Kansas
City for the purpose of trying to secure n
modification of the platform Is sufficient
to take him out Of the Vice Presidential
race. Mr.. Hill, 1t was understood by
men coming direct from Lincoln, was far
from satisfactory to Mr.. Bryan. Other
candidates are mentioned, including
ex-Congressman b. A. Shievely Of Indi-
ana, and there Ia some talk about Charles
A. Towne of Minnesota who was nomi-
mated by the Populists with Mr.. Bryan.
There Is no doubt about the earnestness
of MIR. Towne and his friends. He has
headquarters engaged and the silver Re-
publicans will hold convention stimuli
aneously with the Democratic gathering.
Not even the advance guard Of the con-
yention has yet arrived.

The beginning of a Mohammedan boy s

parisoned and flower bedecked donkey.
The new pupils is placed on this little
beast, and with the hodja, or teacher,

To stranger the common Turkish

ly advise any young American with some
knowledge of the language to pay few
visits to some of Cabarets artistiques of
Montmartre; not Aristide Bruants or
Alexandre's, for they are both beneath
contempt, but the Quatz arts, the Conser-
vatoire de Montmartre, the Treteau de Ia
BARN, La Borte a Fursy and others, where
the cleverest Rotations and the wittiest
chausonettes are rendered by their own
authors-men of great talent and fine ar

doubt, trife racy, but it must be remem-
bered that they are sung in Paris and
not in Hackensack.

perhaps. correctly speaking, it should
not be called an Easter celebration as
those who took part were ignorant of the
sacredness of the day. To the central
figure in the deed it was only Sunday
the day set apart by her missionary
friends to the worship of the great Jeho-
yah. 1t was on this memorable Easter
morning that the Princess Kapiolani the
Hawaiian heroine, defed the terrible god
dess Pee. Kapiolani was the daughter
of a chieftain, and the wife of Naihe who
was for a time the Governor of Hawaii.
When the first missionaries went to Ha-
wall she was an inebriate and anything
but promising subject for conversion
but as time went on she embraced the

people should do likewise.
