Miss Aileene Hill putative daughter
OF Melpomene, scored one when she
caused the arrest and detention of
Tomaso Felepedas on the charge of
vagrancy. She was accused of having
stolen diamond ring from Romeo
Hale and giving it to Tomaso as a
token of her undivided affection, and
Tomaso sWore that he had never seen
the bauble. Then she swore to a re-
taliative complaint, alleging that
Tomaso was Vagrant and soon after
ward it was whispered to the detec-
tive that another search of the apart
ment which had been jointly occupied
by Aileene and Tomaso in the 500
block of Howard street might result
more successfully than the former
quest of the ring. The hint was acted
upon and the ring found in a bureau
drawer. Romeo will recover his prop
erty, of course, and it will remain with
Judge Mogan to decide whether
Aileene is a thief and Tomaso va
grant.
Aileene says that although she re-
ceived a thorough training for the
dramatic stage, the short-Sighted
managerial policy of the Frohmans
and the Belascos and the Moroscos has
compelled her to conf1ne her his
whose stars are not featured" as they
would be in more pretentious houses.
That and not any lack of acting ability
oil her part is the cause of her COM
parative obscurity in the profession.
But she has hopes.
Patrolman Maloney, whose special
official function Is to prevent human
somnolence in Union Square, bagged
no less than five sleepers in a bunch
last Friday afternoon. When he en-
tered the square at its southeast cor
ner, he averred his ears were assailed
by dissonant chorus of snores and
following the sound it led him to the
northwest corner, where he found the
quintet in unconscious operation. His
catch embraced one jockey, one deck
hand, one horse trainer. one paper
hanger and one hotel steward-or, at
least those were the vocations claim ed
respectively by the defendants. Each
OF the men entered the same plea
that he sat down to rest and was lured
to the hug of Morpheus by the sight
of another person wrapped in slum-
Der. Judge Mogan vainly endeavored
to ascertain who was the first of the
five to fall asleep and start the infec-
ton and then dismissed them all with
a warning.

year -olds, were arrested as suspicious
characters, but the police failed to con-
meet them with any offense more seri-
Gus than that of arriving here as
brakebeam tramps and having neither
employment nor money, and suggest
ed to Judge Mogan that he order them
TO leave the. city. After interrogating
the lads the Judge declined to adopt
the suggestion.

be compelled to resume tramping." he

Accused of PoolselIing.

Chief Whitman has issued instruc-
tions to all officers to arrest any per-
son or persons violating the ordi-
nance prohibiting poolselling outside
of the race track. Yesterday seven
arrests were made and the defendants
were booked at the City Prison. They
were William Smith, Union Square
avenue; John Brown, Montgomery
street Harry Thorn, Leidesdorff
street; Joseph Meyers. O'Farrell
street; Charles Rupert, Sutter street;
L. Allen, Ellis street, and William
Bell, O'Farrell street. They were re-
leased on bail.

stole pair of shoes from a wagon on

Tom DAILY not only denied that he
threw rocks at the windows of his
Uncle Patrick residence on the $500
block of Folsom street, but averred
that said windows were broken sew
eral years ago by Uncle Patrick him
self. TO which Uncle Patrick retorted
by displaying a number of large
stones, which, he declared, had been
cast into his house through glass that
had been unfractured until that mo-
ment. Then the defendants wife
stood up in court and exclaimed that
if any window smashing was done she
was the person who did it, but the
gospel truth was that Uncle Patrick
had trified with truth. In her opin-
ion Uncle Patrick's penchant for pre-
varication was a gift, as ii was too
strong to have been acquired. 1t
must have been born with him, she
declared, and thank goodness, it did
not aff1ict any of his relatives, either
by blood or marriage. The lady was
still speaking when Judge Fritz re-
moved a supporting hand from his
forehead and told all the Days to go
home.

Miss May Adams proved that she
did not participate in the robbery of
John, Collins by Miss Nettie Mason
one night last week on Sixth street,
but ere she could leave Judge Mogan's
courtroom a year-old bench warrant
was Haunted in her face and to-mor-
row she will be sentenced on the Vag-
rancy charge which she eluded a
twelvemonth ago by forfeiting her $40
bail and fleeing to Seattle.
We'll, wouldn't that jar anybody p
she exclaimed when the bailiff showed
her the antique order of arrest. "Mer-
cy, l think you folks might let by

stayed away hundred years I'd be

She was still conversing with her

Of them, Prunelle, was passing be-

Prunelle stopped instantly and held

RUeelsH IN THE STREETS.

Attention is being called to the care
lessness OF our citizens I'm the manner
OF disposing Of waste-paper and sim
liar rubbish. and it is suggested that
the authorities take some more effec-
tive measures to abate the nuisance.
We are in full sympathy with the
movement for cleaner streets, and we
are certain that the first move should
be to prevent the scattering Of waste
paper, but we are not certain that a
requirement that each household shall
destroy lts own rubbish is the best
solution. It occurs 10 us that If the
city wishes to institute reform IN
this matter IL must be prepared to do
its part in making it easy for house
holders TO dispose OF their refuse
We are told that the waste paper
which is now tied In bundles and
placed on the ash receptacle for col
lection is tampered with by boys, and
the winds scatter the paper in the
streets. This is undoubtedly true, but
the delay of the collectors is partly re-
sponsible. II is no uncommon thing
for a row OF ash barrels with stacks Of
waste paper and rubbish, to stand on
the sidewalks for several days before
being removed. II householders were
kept informed Of the time the colec-
tors would come and II they We're
prompt we should avoid this unslghtli-
ness, and much Of this scattering Of
waste materials.
But whatever the solution, the mat
ter requires attention. 1t is as de-
sirable for city to have neat and
cleanly habits as for an individual.
Householders take little pride in keep
Ing their premises clean when the first
strong wind piles UP an sorts Of light
rubbish on their lawns and sidewalks.
The only sure way is to create a strong
public sentiment This may be done
by ordinances and ~ discussion. A
few years ago every public place was
contaminated by the tobacco-user. The
street cars railroad stations and other
public places were made filthy almost
beyond endurance. Yet an aroused and
determined public opinion, supplement-
ed by ordinances, has done away with
this nuisance. The problem of keep
ing our streets free from paper and
other waste material can be solved as
easily.
