THE EPPINGERS
CLEAN STEAL
HAD ALMOST EMPrIED THEIR
WAREHOUSES THOUGH THEY
HAD THOUSANDS IN RECEIPTS.

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-The
Grand Jury will meet this evening in
special session to resume it's investiga-
ton of the criminal features of the
Eppinger insolvency case. Among the
witnesses to be examined are Alfred G.
Plat, certified accountant, and j. F.
Fields, who has been associated with
him in the investigation of the books
and Bookkeeper Mitchell, who was with
Eppnger & Co. for twelve years.
In the evidence that it is said will be
presented to the Grand Jury is the
showing that some wheat shipped by
Mrs. Stanford to the warehouses at
Crockett was put in a lot with other
grain and pledged to the Colusa Bank
and Wells-Fargo's Bank at the same
time, and also sold to a third party
while the warehouse receipts were held
by the two banks for the money ad-
vanced.
That any wheat was left in the ware
houses was an accident as it evidently
was the intention of the Eppingers to
leave nothing at Crockett for the Gre
ditors save the walls of the ware
houses. The German ship Christine,
which arrived here some days before
the failure was announced. was to have
taken the last 1000 sacks of wheat bar
ley and middlings out Of the Warehouses
The Captain of the Christine had some
dispute over the stevedore tolls and de-
layed going to Crockett for nine days.
When he had effected his arrangement
with the stevedores it was found that
the firm had suspended.

ANARCHISTS BARRED.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The State
Department has given notice that it has
construed the naturalization law passed
by the last Congress, requiring it to re-
ject all certificates of naturalization
issued after July 8, 1903, which fail to
set forth the fact that the person ma
turalized is not opposed to all or
ganized government and likewise is
not affiliated with any organization so
opposed, also that he does not ad-
vocate the killing of officers of the
Government.

from the evidence, that the defendant

the Harm slang Does.

The use of slang tends to limit the
vocabulary of him who uses it. Now,
a limited vocabulary is almost as in
convenient at times as limited purse,
and it is far more inelegant. II there
was practically limitless wealth within
the reach of him who was minded to
take 1t, it would argue a certain stu
ptdity in any one who declined to avail
himself of the supply. The same as
sertion holds true with regard to him
who is willing to limit his choice of
words. There is even more to be said
than that. There is a limitless wealth
of words at our disposal, but the most
Of us are too stupid to make use Of
them.
There are about 100000 words in the
English language. The average edu-
Gated person is able in reading to IN
derstand perhaps $4,000 words, but
most of us who write and speak limit
ourselves to about 500 or 600. Indeed,
there is vast number of fairly intelli-
gent people, or people who pass as
fairly intelligent, whose working yo-
cabularies do not comprise more than
800 or 400 words each.-Household.

rhe Word "starvation.o

The word starvation was introduc.

count Melville. 1t was originally used
by him in speech in parliament on

Immediately caught up and applied to

resented the state of starvation.
Although this word has now an es-
tabdished place in our vocabulary, it
was at first vigorously opposed by
many, and on just grounds, as of n.y.

A Pack OF Cards.

The ordinary playing cards of today
are derived from stick game sup
posed to have originated in this coun-
try. Fifty small sticks are pack. The
game was originally for the player
to divide this sticks rapidly with his
two hands, the opponent guessing
which hand held the larger number.
Owners of sticks spent rainy days in
carving them. The Asiatics borrowed
the game and carved more elaborate
counters out of ivory. Those with diff
ferent carvings grew to have different
values. Arranging them in groups of
tours made 1t necessary to add two to
the original number. Then thin slabs
OF ivory began to be used.
For centuries after this all playing
cards we're hand painted, at first on
ivory or metal. afterward on card
board. The pictures, at first legendary
heroes and ladies', gradually became the
fixed. wood faced cn1dcatures we now
know, and these, coming back to Amer
lea In their westward journey around
the world, find our Pacific coast Indi-
ans still Juggling the same kind Of
sticks their forefathers used. = New

Ais weight In COLD For the POOR.

"a Hindoo stood in a scale, and his
weight was measured in goldpieces.
That" said traveller, was the strange
spectacle that l once beheld in India.
There was great crowd looking on,
and it took a great many goldpieces to
equal the Hindoo's weight, for he was
fat Finally, though, the big scale bal
anced, and then everybody began to
shout: 'Tulnbhara! Tulabhara! Tu-
labhara.'' The fat man got out Of the
scale. He and his friends took the
gold, and, going through all the poorer
quarters of the town, they distributed
1t among the destitute. This, was in
formed, was kind of religious cere-
mony among certain sect. Every
male at the time in his life when it
was thought his weight would be
greatest was put in scale, and gold to
equal him in bulk was measured out
and distributed in aims. AS rule,
each man was forty-seyen when his
weight was taken. They hold in India
that at forty-seven man is at his
latest. Philadelphia Record

Dishonest croupiers.

Each roulette table in Monte Carlo
has chief, an underchief and seven
croupiers. The roulette croupiers are
ordered to keep their hands spread
out open upon the table between the
turns. This is designed not only to
give confidence to the players, but to
protect the bank against its own en-
ployees. Once it was found that a
croupier who seemed Unfortunately fond
of snuff had a spring bottom snuffbox.
Every now and then he would set it
down on a gold piece, and when he took
1t up the gold piece was inside. An
other croupier was discovered to have
sort of funnel under his collar,
which ran down to a money belt. Ev-
cry now and then he would scratch his
neck, and every time he did SO the
bank lost 20 francs. -Argonaut

The Untamable Tiger,

OF all wild animals trained for men,
agerle and show purposes not one is as
hard to conquer as the tiger. Com
pared to the training of lions and ele-
plants the training of tiger is as the
breaking in of vicious boarhound to
the first lessons in etiquette of club
by Newfoundland puppy. Even the
most expert wild animal trainers balk
at an assignment to 'brealA" a tiger.
Not more than one in ten professional
lion trainers has the nerve to try his
hand at the great, ferocious, striped
cats
As matter of fact, there is no such
thing as tanned tiger" Few and far
between there are instances where the
animals are shown as trained and
broken in, but the friendship Of the
animal for the trainer who may have
befriended 1t for years hangs at the
end of the mans black snake whip.
From the day the acquaintance is
made to the day man and beast are
separated there is a stea1thy warfare
between them, the catlike slyness of
the ponderous brute directed toward
the one aim of killing the man and the
vigilance of the master ever alert to
Illustrate that plan.-New York Com

The independent Boy.

The nonchalance of boys who are
sure Of dinner, and would disdain as
much as a lord to do or say aught to
conciliate one, is the healthy attitude
master Of society! Independent, ire
sponsible, looking out from his corner
on such people and facts as pass by,
he tries and sentences them on their
merits, in the swift summary ways Of
boys, as good, bad, interesting, silly,
eloquent, troublesome. He cumbers
himself never about consequences,
about interests; he gives an independ-
ent, genuine verdict. You must court
him; he does not court you.-Emerson.

A scotchmnn VINO Smoked In Church.

Sir Walter Scott in his "Heart of

Knockdunder, an important parsonage,
who smoked during the whole of the
sermon from an iron pipe tobacco bor
rowed from other worshipers. We are
told that at the end of the discourse
he knocked the ashes out of his pipe,
replaced it in his sporran, returned the
tobacco pouch to its owner and joined
in the prayer with decency and atten-
ton.

q merchant whose wealth grew out of

enness. An uncomfortable desire for
drink cost him position after position,
and he drifted down to Mexico and be-
came news agent. He sold lottery
tickets. He had to report on drawing
day what unsold tickets he had and
forward them. He got drunk the day
before one OF the big drawings. Two
days later he sebered up and found
himself in possession of several hun
dred dollars worth of unsold tickets.
He did not possess $40 in the world
He examined the list and found that
q number of the unsold tickets had
drawn prizes aggregating $4,000 in

for the unsold tickets and took an oath

Cheerful Announcement Made to kisch
eneff Jews by Russians.

Berlin. May 21.-The singular state of
mind of the townspeople of Kischineff
is recovered in letter from Jewish
German of Odessa, received by the relief
committee here. He said:
The leaders of the bands on enter
ing Jewish dwellings,, often addressed
the occupants, good naturally, saying:
Poor brethren; we must kill you; ii
is so ordered!'
"Monstrous things were not done I'M
til robbers began to participate and
when with Christian Zealots become in
toXicatcd."
The statc of terror Of the Jews at
kischineff. the letter adds, continues
A fresh massacre is expected there and
the Jews of Odessa and of all the large
towns of Bcssarabia are living in hour
ly dread of death. The whole province
seems to be in a state of fanaticaI fury
against the Jews. ., "....
The writer of the letter then says:
THE excitement is intensified through
procla nations distributed in the streets
and the tone of the bitterly anti-Semitic
newspapers. The Russians say to their
educated and tolerant cOuntrymen VINO
urge keeping peace, it is the Cars will

opinions. Their behavior almost with
out exception has been excellent. I'M
less the st. Petersburg government de-
velops a more energetic policy the
events at Kischineff will undoubtedly

eating the complete disapproval of the
