The Anchor saloon. owned by George Roberts in this city, was rob bed of a sum of money yesterday morning amounting to about $500 The theft was perpetrated in broad day light, and in ful view of Roberts. who was in the place al the time.
 While the name of the man who is supposed to have done the job is un- known to Roberts He has been in t-s place frequently for the past few days, and became thoroughly acquainted with the place before attempting to get away with the money which he knew to be in the little safe under the writing desk. in the front of the saloon.
 It was about 9:3o .yesterday when this stranger asked Roberts if ne might be permitted to write letter. This was E; anted- While Roberts was busy at the roulette wheel which is in en advantage of his opportunity to urn the combination on the safe throwing it open and extracting 'herefrom a roll of bills and some sil- yer.
 It has been customary with Roberts 10 open his safe when coming on shift in the morning. never locking it throughout the day. but simply turning the combination a trifie. This fact was evidently observed by the strang- O., who must have been a smooth op- orator, and he soon evolved plan to get possession of the ready cash which he knew to be within easy reach.
 As soon as he had finished his let ter, the supposed thief borrowed a half dollar from Roberts. saving that he wished to get breakfast and a shave. Roberts readily gave him the money. and it was while he was at breakfast that the theft was discover cd On his return to the saloon Rob erts confronted him with an accusa- ton at which the stranger affected an air of injured innocence, and permitted search of his person to be made. N. course nothing was found on him. the natural conclusion at which Roberte arrived being that he had secreted the money while out at breakfast. While the mans name is not known 70 Roberts, he is well acquainted with his appearance. It is presumed that he left town shortly after beine searched. as he has not been seer about the stree. since that tune There is little chance to appreheno he thief unless he should appear at some nearby town with a surplus amount of cash. Nothing has .een done to effect his arrest.

Just twenty months ago Los Angeles bought it's water plant The Los Angeles water com pany laid great stress upon the point that the value of it's plant and the cost of operation placed ii whore the com pany could not earn any money upon it's investment. A lard fight was made when the city proposed to buy it. and this was settled by the pGr- chase Of the plant for the sum of S2,- O0o,O00, and bonds were issued for the amount bearing interest at the rate of 3-4 per cent per annum. r1- naliy. after much litigation, during which the company allowed the plant to deteriorate in value and use. re- quiring heavy expenditures to repair the commission nevertheless reduced  the general water rates 10 per cent, and meter rates nearly 59 per cent.

A WOMAN
 IN THE CASE.

'ss SHS6.
 And now it is said that there was a woman in the case, which caused the smash in the great ship-building trust concerning which Mr. Schwab. Mir. Dresser. Nj. Pam and MT. Nixon are busy answering to the world. The story has its beginning back in the tenderloin district of New York. It would appear rhet one morning a woman of the under world was found dead, having been found murdered by the hand of her lover, who two days later was caught and the network of the crime woven about him. AS the investigation proceeded. it was found that he was the son of the prominent Mormon, John W. Young. At first the story was not given credence, as the father absolutely denied any knowledge of the boy, but later was compelled to acknowledge him. This occurred at a time that the elder Young was in Paris arranging for the sale of S3,000,000 worth of the bonds of the ship-building trust to French capitalists. The sudden identlfica- tion with such a criminal decided them to delay the negotiations, ana later @ GeclinaJion of entering into deal at all. This action threw the bonds back on the America promoters of the scheme, which embarrassed them, and finally brought the Trust company dealing in the transaction to the verge of ruin.
 The poor maniac who committed the deed in the first place raves in his cell of a lunatic asylum, ranting over the mistress whom he shot; she hes in the potter's field, while financial corpses are strewn throughout the moneyed community.
 Had it not been for the tragedy that marked that morning. wlen the deau body of a courtezan was found un- known with a bullet mark to tell the story of her death, there would hke- ly have been no failure in the organ ization of the United States Snlp- building Trust, or in the sale of id stock to the public, the goods would have been delivered, and the promot- CTS of the deal would have pocketed millions as their profits, and the dear ana unsuspecting public would now be mourning the bss of their money instead Of the gang of interruptions promoters who were working the deal
 This exemplifes still more Of now the unsophisticated public had better take a chance at the gaming tables than trust their funds and confidence to those princes of bunco steerers n Wall Street.

Those who have patience for statis-
tics may calculate how much truth to
fact there is in this piece of loyal eIo-
quence on the part of an Australian
schoolmaster: "King Edward" he told
his class, sis now sovereign over con-
tinent, 100 peninsulas, 500 promontories,
100 lakes, 1900 rivers and 10000 islands.
He waves his hand, and 100000 war
riors march to battle to conquer or to
die. He bends his head, and 900 ships
of war and 100000 sailors perform his
bidding on the ocean. He walks upon
the earth, and 100000 900 human beings
feel the least pressure Of his foot. The
Assyrian empire was not so populOus.
The Persian,empire was not SO power
full. The Carthaginian empire was not
so much dreaded. The Spanish empire
was not so widely diffused. The Ro-
man empire was weak in comparison,
and Greece was small village"

Bisber Standard Required.

Certain substances which are deadly
in their effect upon men can be taken
by the brute creation with impunity.
Horses can take large doses of anti
mony, dogs of mercury, goats of tobac-
CO, mice of heml0ck and rabbits Of bel
ladonna, without injury. On the other
hand, dogs and cats are much more
susceptible to the influence of chloro-
form than man, and are much sooner
killed by it. If this invaluable an@s-
thetic had been first tried upon animals
we should probably have never enjoyed
its blessings, as It would have been
found to be so fatal that its discover
ers would have been afraid to test its
effect upon human beings. It is evi-
dent, then that an experiment upon an
animal can never be the means of any
certain deductions so far as man il
concerned. Family Doctor.

Eeve che gsnauerer.

Oh love, if life should end tonight,
How short our life would seem!
One little flash of Summer light;
One brief and passionate dream:
One glimpse of roses on the wall,
Or blue-bells In the lane,
Then, love- the end, the end of all
Aye, buds might swell, and leaves might fall,
But not for us again!
The stream we used to watch and love
Would ever onward flow;
From the dark pines the grey wood-dove
Would call-we shall not know,
All! not for us the pines would wave.
For us no stream would run;
We should be silent in the grave,
Unable even to hoard and save
One little glimpse of sun!
Yet is not this sOmbre view
OF life and all 1t brings?
Thank Heaven, the bright waves still are blues
And still the thrOstle sings!
And oh, before loves conquering song
Deaths voice sinks quite away;
For life is short, but love is long,
And death is fierce, but love is strong,
And love shall win the day!
From the pageant of life-G. Barlow.

che Ones We Cannot Please.

The robin that sings in the morning glow
A song that is full of glee
May be fretting some sad soul here below
With the song that is sweet to me:
The roisterer who, care free, last night
Went reveling late and long,
May rail at the robin that gives delight
To me with his matin song.
But little, think, does the robin care
For the hate of the one who lies
With Il heavy heart on hts bed up there
And rubs at his bloodshOt eyes.
And why should you, as you strive away,
Be chilled by the sneering few?
We can't please all with the things we say
Or the things that We sing or do.

bition from the start was to be leaders
and not followers. If you wish to
make both ends meet, you must decide
whether it is more profitable to lead or

making both ends meet in life's strug-

Oldest Roman Burial.

One of the most remarkable finds yet
made in Rome has recently been brought
to light. Workmen restoring the foun-
dations of the Temple of Faustinia, on
the site of the forum, came upon a
tomb or burial vase which is considered
to be of extraordinary archaeological
value from the fact that it is the first
grave which can be reasonably connect
ed with the primitive dweilers on Pala-
tine Hill.
In short, it contains the remains Of
one of the founders of Rome who, ac-
cording to Professor Lanciani, was
buried here three thousand years ago.
Consequently, the rough piece of earth
enware is relic centuries older than
any other existing remanent OF the
early city thus far discovered.
The dead man, supposed to be trib-
al chieftain, lived at or near the tradi-
tional foundation of Rome-that is to
say, at the time when colony of shep-
herds first settled on the Palentine
and lived in huts made of boughs,
covered with sheepskins, and when the
Valley of the Forum was in the shape
of morass or swamp.
The earthen vessel was about two
feet high, and covered with fiat stone.
The urn was full of ashes and splinters
of bones, and was sealed BY q cover
shaped like the roof of prehistoric
round hut. The tomb lay fifty-three
feet below the present street and twelve
feet below the level of the street OF the
early empire, and about two feet below
the level Of the soil at the time OF tho
foundation of Rome.-Ex.

and has introduced new matter
into the argument, much of
which is entirely foreign to the letter
and spirit of my article on said subject,
1 assume that 1 am entitled to re-
buttal.
His first statement is irrelevant.
History proves that it is beyond the
powers of government Ito make a
religious or sober people against their
inclination" We have his authority
that history has proven this to be a
fact, which in itself we might question,
did 1T pertain in any way to the subject.
Yet be that as it may, was not aware
that my recent article touched on the
subject of religion, or the temperance
question, or that these branches were
taught in our night school.
Then, by way of changing the subject,
he says: Neither can you force edu-
cation upon them." He refers to our
compulsory education laws as applic-
able to children merely as means to
force the parent to allow their children
school rights. We again have but his
authority as to these matters, yet we
have all known many students MAIN
tanning good scholarship who have
been driven to school by their parents
almost every day-much against their
inclination. And many more who will
play truant every chance they get. AS
to the same rule being applied to adults
with success, is proven by the success
of the existing compulsory education
system as applied to reformatory pris-
oners. The lack of q unanimous at
tendance at our Night School is possibly
entirely due to thoughtlessness on the
part of those who do not attend, or in
some cases wanton pride which for
bids them to enter low class. And
were such rule existing, it would be
promptly obeyed as are all other rules.
S. d. might as we'll argue that it would
be impossible to force prisoners to
work, a matter in which they have alb
solutely no personal interest, yet l
have failed to observe single instance
where a man has failed to work hard
and faithfully. Much more easily
could he be compelled to occupy his
time at that which would be entirely
for his own personal benefit.
AS reason why compulsory educa-
tion is unnecessary here, he states that
IS per cent of the prisoners know their
three Rs. I cannot help but admire
his lofty idea of education, and from
his following remarks we are Led to
believe that when we get beyond our
three RS we strike danger point, and
one to be carefully avoided. Taking
his own per cent, if there are 25 pei
cent of the inmates here who do not
know their three RS, there would be
IA good sized school in the primary
grade, if all attended.
Here he warns to his subject and
comes forth with "clincher," in these
words: "I have yet to learn" mot 9
