LONDON, March 1.-THE latest An
glo-American bride is the former Mrs.
Blanche de Pinto. She was married a
fortnight ago TO Samuel T Evans,
member Of Parliament and Kings
Counsel. Prior 10 her marriage with
the late Herbert de Pinto. Mrs. Evans
was d Cincinnati girl, the youngest
daughter Of the late Charles Rule of
thar city.
It is natural enough that Evans
should have taken an American wife,
for he himself is Of a type much more
American than British. AS matter
of fact he is Welshman and sits in
Parliament as Liberal member for Mid
Glamorganshire, which he won at the
last general election by the goodly ma
5ority Of nearly 5OO0 He is hustler,
as his possession at IS Of the titles

at the law business in Wales, got
on fast. and when he came to London
fifteen years or more ago was already
famous as q cross-examiner. He has
energy to burn No member of the
House Of Commons stands all night
sittings better than he, and his friends
ssy he becomes positively jubilant to-
ward in the morning.
AS an instance Of the way in which
he manages TO combine legal and po-
litical work. it is told that he once left
the House Of Commons in the early
morning and drove straight to the sta
ton TO catch $50 train to Swansea.

something to eat at a station. Unfortu-

he had finished and he only just had
time to slip into the guards compart-

train stopped at Swansea he ran to

passenger. who thought Evans had
missed the train, had thrown it out
on the platform Of the station where
he had eaten. However, he managed

STOLE WHEEL AND RAN.

One of the men stole bicycle in
order to elude the watchman ana the
next day Richards appeared in the
town and tried to dispose of a wheel.
II was identified as the one stolen the
night before. Richards pleaded gull
ty to stealing the bicycle and was SEN
fenced TO two years in San Quent n.
1t is believed beyond a doubt that
Richards was one of the men who
blew open the safe, but as no direct
evidence was gathered against him he
as not prosecuted on that charga
The rest of the gang escaped and the
southern police say that they proba-
bly, lay in waiting for Richards when
lie jumped off the train vest ted Y

The police can do nothing in the
matter till they are notified of Ri>h-
ards escape. 1t is believed that The
crook will stand an excellent chance
of eluding the southern Sheriff if the
latter does not call for assistance He
is not familiar with this part of the
country, while Richards probably
knows il like q book.

CROOK ESCAPES
FROM SHERIFF
Harry Richards Eludes the
Vigilance of Officer and
Jumps From Moving Train
CITIZENS GIVE CHASE
Criminal Believed to Have
Received Aid From Pals
Who Followed From South

The passengers on the coast line linn
/ tied train which arrived in this city
shortly after II o'clock yesterday morn
ing had the experience of witnessing a
daring crook make his escape from
Sheriff. The man who performed the
clever act was Harry Richards, sup
posed to be a notorious safe blower.
! The man from whom he escaped was
Sheriff Coburn of Riverside County.
The scene was enacted just before the
I train pulled into the station at Twenty
sixth and Valencia streets. Coburn and
his prisoner We're on their way to San
Quentin, to which Richards had been
sentenced for two years for stealing
bicycle. Richards caught the officer
mapping and made run for the plat
form of the car.
He fell off without difficulty, as the
train was going slow. Coburn followed
closely after his man, shouting at the
top of his voice for aid. These yells
only served to stimulate the f1eet-foof-
ed crook, for he developed a sudden
burst of speed and was soon well on
his way toward the San Bruno wilds.
OFFICER SLOW SPLINTER.
Coburn was not as apt a sprinter as
his prisoner, so he saw that something
must be done. He quickly rounded up
a posse of citizens and vagrant dogs
The eavalcade soon set off on the trail
of Richards. The last seen of them
they were still doing the best they
could to develop top speed and over
take the criminal
Strange to say, Coburn did not notify
the local Police Department of his ex-.
perience. 1t may be that he has not
yet returned from the chase. 1t is very.
improbable that the criminal was over;
hauled, for in that event some of the
officials would have heard the news.
Richards is believed to be mem

Whereupon the other ten ladies who
underwent the narrowing ordeal of
being arrested waxed indignant and

questioned by Captain Duke, McNa-
mara denied that he ever had pris-
oner, but finally admitted having been
overgallant.

Compare thsoutput Of this coun-
try's gold and silver with our cot

States produced gold valued at
$50, 1876, 64S, the largest in our his
tory. OF silver we produced a
value Of s32, 035,37S. From both
sources we have sl12, s71, 026 worth
of precious metals. The South
exported sS72,049,264 worth Of
cotton to foreign countries in 1904.
The total value Of her cotton
crop was 1928, 000,000-more than
four times the output OF gold and
silver. Cotton is precious.
Compare cotton with wheat. Set
up our great breadstuff against our
great fibre. America stands first
in the production Of both. The
wheat crop Of 1904 was $50, 399,.
5l7 bushels, worth s5l0,4S9, 874.
Here is more than one hundred
million dollars difference in favor
of cotton grown in thirteen states
as against wheat produced in
forty.three states.
