The London Spectator has this to
say of M. Loubet: The French presi-
dent is, we fancy, essentially grave
and respectable lawyer, with remin-
iscence of the farmstead from which
he sprang still visible in his char
acter; without genius, but a man of
acumen and of sterling worth. He has
done nothing great, but under him no
one expects disorder, and If he has
not picked out frst-rate administrators
as ministers he has chosen men ca
pable of the most solid work. The
French see their innermost preference
embodied in the president, and even
when it rains epigrams in Paris they
pay him every reverence, crowd to
hear his plain and direct, though brief,
speeches and strive in every village
he passes to display some evidence
of good will"

which, if true, shows that once at
least Grant lost his characteristic i'm

sent her grandson to ask where he
was going. The general answered
grufiy: Tell your grandmother that
am going to Richmond or Peters

came back in half an hour and said
to the federal commander: My
grandmother says you can't go to

Gen. Beauregard is there, and you
can't go to Heaven because Gen. Jack.

YOUNG LOVERS
COME TO GRIEF
Rosie Pimentell ElOpes
With Her Boyish
Admirer.

Rosie Pimenteu, a rancher's daughter
of Pescadero, and Charles Pelletier, who
resides at 1761 Howard street in this city,
were taken into custody and placed in
the city prison by Detective Bell last
evening. Both eloped from San Mateo
County and both are under the legal age,
the girl being seventeen years and three
months and the boy seventeen years and
six months.
The arrest was made at the request of
the girls father, Manuel j. PimenteH. 1t
is alleged that Pelletier met his daughter
two years ago while he was camping in
the neighborhood of the ranch and that
three weeks ago he secured a job about
the place that he might be near his lady
love. On last Saturday Pimentell dis
covered that the boy was in love with his
daughter and discharged him. On Tues
day the persistent lover drove to the
ranch, eloped with the girl and arrived
in this city on Wednesday. The father
followed and the arrest was determined
upon.

daughters to we'd" said Miss Pimentell
last night. II have four sisters and two
of them have run away to be married
like myself. One, Mrs. Belle Enez, was

old, is divorced and is now living in Palo

when he was seventeen years old and is

MY father is severe in his treatment
of us all. We have been required to
work hard and frequently he has threat
ened us and beaten us. Another sister
Mary Pimentell, also ran away from
home.
''Three other brothers, John, Joseph
and Tony, are still at the ranch,'' but,
the girl says, her father is continually
quarreling with them. Pelletier says that
he is willing to wait until his sweetheart
is eighteen years of age and will marry
her then. He says he can gain his
mothers consent.

COUNTERFEITERS
FOUND GUILTY
Convincing Evidence In
troduced Against
Two Chinese.

The final chapter in an interesting
counterfeiting case was closed in Judge
de Haven's department Of the United
States District Court yesterday, when
lee Lung, alias Jim Lee, and Lee FUng.
alias All Wong. were convicted Of max
ing bogus money. The case was a sensa-
tional one and brought to light many
facts concerning the making of counter
felt money by the Chinese.
Last March Detective Ed Gibson no.
ticed the two Chinese acting suspiciously
in a room at 61S Merchant street. in the
rear OF the Hall of Justice Gibson noti-
fled Secret Service Agent Hazen and he
Immediately began an investigation with
startling results.
Hazen and his deputies watched the
place for several days without being OBJ
served, and discovered that the two Chi
namen were going in for the exclusive
making of fifty-cent pieces on an elab-
crate scale. \ complete set of tools was
discovered by the officers, together with
a number of coins, all ready for circula-
ton.
The coins were made Of pure silver and
were nearly perfect in every way. Great
skill and perseverance had been exercized
in their manufacture and they resembled
the Mint output so closely that it was al
most impossible to detect the difference
After several days of waiting the off,
GERS finally surprised the two Chinese and
each one at once tried 10 shift the blame
to the other. In so doing each made
many damaging admissions, which went
against them during the trial
The pair were put on trial soon after
their capture, but the jury disagreed. At
the second trial the evidence was so com
plete and the testimony Of the officers so
damaging that the jury brought in a YER
dict of guilty after fifteen minutes delib-
Grafton. The prisoners will be sentenced
on the 18th.
During the trial many of the most
prominent merchants and citizens of the
Chinese quarter were called upon TO give
their testimony. Many prominent mem
bers of the Six Companies exerted all
their influence to have the accused men
acquitted, but the evidence against them
was too strong.

LEAGUE LEADERS
IN CONFERENCE
Appointment Of Elec-

Discussed.

Thomas D. Riordan, DR. McNutt, A.

League held a conference with closed
doors last night. The representatives of
the organization were together for nearly
two hours. Word was given at the close
of the session that the topic under dis
cussion related to the appointment of
election officers.
The Board of Election Commissioners
will soon be called upon to appoint near
ly 1000 officers of election. On behalf Of
the Republican party the officers of the
United Republican League VIII ask the
commission to give fair representation on
every precinct board to the Republicans.
The request will be presented in proper
form at the meeting of the board next
Monday. It was said last evening that
subjects pertaining to the Mayoralty
were not discussed at the conference and
that matters, connected with the. chair
manship of the convention We're not
broached.
It transpires that several active mem
bers Of the league are not quite satisfied
with the proposed plan of giving to each
district delegation the absolute power to
name one nominee for the Board of Su-
/ pervisors. 1t is hinted that two or three
Of the districts have practically agreed
