The girls in a large department store
says Frank Leslie's, are, as a rule, care
fully watched not only in the store, but

ment knows pretty well the habits Of
his sales ladies; knows how much IL
costs them to live and how they spend
their evenings. 1t is easy for him to
get the information not merely through
the store detective, but in many other
ways.
The buyer is, as a rule, a tolerant
person. who cares only for two things
namely, that the girls deliver the
goods. e., that they make big

Norwegian Cure For Drunkenness.
In Norway drunkenness is punished
by Imprisonment rs soon as a man is
~incarcerated the delinquent has a loaf
and wine morning and evening. The
bread is served in a wooden bowl full
of wine, in which it has been soaking
for an hour. The first day the drunkard
swallows his allowance willingly

pleasing. At the end of eight or ten
days prisoners have been known to alb
stain altogether from the food thus pit
ilessly presented. This ourse of treat
ment finished, the drunkard, except in
rare instances, is radically cured.

ROSS APPEALS
TO GOVERNOR
Murderer in San Quentin
Prison Makes a Final Eff
fort to Escape the GallowS

SACRAMENTO, Dec. 15.-Bert Ross,
who is under sentence to be hanged
at San Quentin prison next Friday, has
made an appeal to Governor Pardee to
save his neck. Ross was convicted of
having murdered Deputy Sheriff Ward
of San Diego by crushing his skull with
a water bottle On a steamer at Port
Hartford.
Ross says he was improperly con-
victed of murder in the first degree as
he only intended to stun the man, there
being no intent to commit murder. Ross
was at the time a prisoner in the GUS
tody of Ward.
Andreas Castro. who testified against
Ross at the trial, has written to the
Governor that he was drunk at the
time he gave his testimony and did not
know what he was saying. Castro is
now in the penitentiary. Ross case
has been fought through the courts Of
California and the United States Su-
preme Court. He has been reprieved
several times.

MENLO PARK DESPERATE
FALLS FOUL OF POLICE
Vincent Wallace, With Formidable Weapon, Is
Found Haunting Dark Places-Harry Howard
Acquits Owens of Completely in Recent Hold-Up

There is still a frontier in this coun-
try notwithstanding Owen Wister and
other Draisers of times past. who be-
wall the passing of the picturesque life
of the outer edges Of civilization. More
over, the frontier is right at the back
dopr of San Francisco, if the story of
Vincent Wallace, told under oath to
Judge Mogan yesterday, may be be-
lieved. Wallace was arrested at an
early hour yesterday morning lettering
on Battery street, just off Market. In
his pocket was found an elongated re-
volver and IS so in money The arrest
ing officers watched him for nearly an
hour in his vigil before they ap-
preached him. When they found him,
accoutered as he was. they concluded
they had a real, original hold-up man.
But Wallace had a different tale to
tell. He said he came from Menlo
Park to this city in search Of employ
ment. In order to economize his slen-
der hoard Of money, he concluded to
seek some dark. quiet neighborhood
and sleep in the angle of a building.
Accordingly he picked out Battery
street near Market as a resting place,
but did not retire at once because he
could find no cozy corner. When ques-
toned as to his reason for carrying
such formidable weapon as that
found on his person, he appeared sur
prised to learn that the act was an
irregular proceeding. Everybody, he
said, in Menlo Park carried a revolver
The practice was as common as carry
ing toothpicks or matches in ones
pocket. He said he had an uncle in
Menlo Park and other witnesses there
who would testify to his good charac-
ter, so the case went over until Fri
day to allow them to be summoned.
Then it will be determined whether
or not Wallace is merely foolish
country boy or that most dangerous
of all criminals, footpad. If 1t shall
turn out to be the latter he will not
have to look for employment until
many moons have waxed and waned.
Harry Howard, alias w. ]. Watson,
exhibited an unexpected amount of
chivalry yesterday when he appeared
before Justice Mogan for a preliminary
hearing on the charge of highway rob-
berry. Howard lis accused of having
held up the saloon of William Little at
7e0 Howard street and forced the pro-
prietor to give him $40. Then he start
ed to run and was pursued by Police
man Skelly, who fired at the fleeing
man. The first bullet from the Off
GERS revolver struck George King, a
fifteen-year-old boy, seriously wound
ing him. Howard then fired at the po-

WILL RESIST DIVERSION
OF THE WATER SUPPLY
san Jose Land Owners Protest Against
Acceptance OF Offer of the Bay
Cities Company.

A number Of land owners and or
chardists Of San Jose. including Z. A.
HAYES. J. r. Lewis. J. Q. A. Ballou.
J. r. Kocher. D. I. Flynt and Paul
II. Cordes. filed a protest yesterday
with the Board Of Supervisors against
the entering into any contract with
the Bay Cities Water Company in
volving the supply Of water 10 San
Francisco from the Coyote, Twas and
Ilagas watersheds. The company
has made an offer TO this city TO fur
llish il an adequate supply Of water.
The protestants say that both the
riparian and percolating rights Of the
watersheds named are the property
and essential water supply Of the land
owners. orchardists and people of San
"a Clara Valley and they intend TO re-
sist by every means in their power
any diversion Of the waters described
as an infringement upon their just
and legal rights and equities as the
owners and users thereof. They fur
ther state that the diversion would
destroy the artesian and underground
water supply and would surely ruin
the magnificent orchards in the valley
which are irrigated thereby.

PRESS CLUBNAN
AS A COMEDIAN
cap" Holliway Takes Max
Dill's Part in Il 0 L" and
Scores Hit With Audience
KEEPS HOUSE IN A ROAR
With the Aid of a Prompt
Book and Stagemates He
Lasts Through Three Acts

When the Press Club of San Fran
cisco consented to accept the net pecu-
MARY proceeds of the performance last
evening at Fischer's Theater it did not
propose TO furnish the stage attrac-
tions. or any considerable portion Of
them, but at the fifty-ninth minute fate
stepped in and decreed that by long
| odds the biggest feature of the show
should be a wearer of the club button.
1t was exactly $3.50 o'clock yesterday
| afternoon when President Tyler and
Vice President LeffingwelI, with tears
of anxiety in their united voice, asked
w. C. Hclliway, the young newspaper
man, who is better known as Cap"
if he would not fill the aching void in
the cast of Il. o. u" created by the
serious illness of Max NJ. Dill. Cap"
hestated but moment.
Il don't know the lines of the part, :"
he said, and 1 have no time to get
up in them. But I'll do anything to
help out the club
Tyler and Lefingwell embraced him
and Herr Fischer smiled gratitude.
Wen all get in and push you
through" said Winfield Blake. "and III
guarantee that you'll make the hit of
the performance"
Cap" at once plunged into the study
of the part of Iney Stuntz, and at $50
o'clock he made his first entrance in
the play with Kolb and Curtis. There
after while he was on the stage the
house-and it was one of the most bril-
liant houses of the season-was his.
Blake's prediction was more than veri-
fed Never did any comedian on any
stage provoke more vociferOus laughter
than rewarded Caps" efforts to
amuse. Every time he said anything,
and numerous times when he was due
to say something and said nothing, the
audience fairly shrieked
1t was not Comedian Holliway's fault
that the lighting arrangements of the
stage made it impossible for him to
fellow the lines of the prompt book he
held, nor would it be fair to accuse
him of negligence because his atten-
ton to the book Drecluded possibility
of his taking up the cues which his
stagemates so generously repeated for
his enlightenment. And if he was US
ually a couple of pages ahead of the
current the OintI dOtOlo liiAeo III
have talked mere rapidly and caught
up with him.
At the close of the second act Kolb
and Curtis. and Blake and Amber, and
O'Ramey and Dillon, and the Althea
twins, and the other principals were
so green with envy of Holliway's hit
that he magnanimously offered to re-
tire from the cast and turn his part
over to a regular understudy who was
familiar with it's lines and business but
did not look the character. Stage Man
ager jones promptly spurned the pro-
posaI. In all other respects the enter
tainment was a triumph.
Many interpretations relating to Press
Club persons. and affairs brought de-
sired appreciation, and the Press Club
Quartet sang popular selections while
the curtain was down. But Cap" Hol-
liway's deput as a Thespian will dwell
green in the memory of those who wit
messed it when all the other features
are forgotten.

REFUSES TO RECOGNIZE
VALIDITY OF PASSPORT
American Consul at NagasaAi Rejects
Credentials Issued by Former
Governor Dole of Hawaii.

HONOLULU, Dec. 15.-The Ameri-
can Consul at Nagasaki has refused
to recognize a passport issued by for
mer Governor Dole to Senator n. Rus
sci on the ground that it did not bear
the seal of the Secretary of State.
More than a year ago the Governor
of Hawaii was authorized to issue
passports owing to the long distance
between Honolulu and Washington
and the delay caused in getting them.
No trouble has arisen heretofore and
the American Consul at Nagasaki has
forgotten or not been informed of the
validity of the Hawaiian passports.

HONOLULU, Dec. s.-The tidal

The waves came like northerly
