LOCATE PRISONER

THIRSTY MAN ENJOYS SPREE
ON STOLEN COIN
Detectives Finally Trace James Nlch-
OILS to Jail, Where Inordlnate
Thirst Had Landed
Him

After searching for James Nichols at
his former haunts, detectives who
wanted the man on charge of rob-
berry finally located him in Jail, serving
sentence for drunkenness.
Mrs. A. O'Neil, living at 334 South
Hill street, informed the police the
other day that she told Nichols, a
lodger in the house, to take some
money out of her bureau drawer and
purchase medicine for her.
He returned with the medicine and
then went out again.
When Mrs. O'Neil searched the
drawer yesterday she found that
Nichols had taken her gold watch and
about $12.
Detectives Sam Mckenzie and Ritch
were detailed on the case and searched
high and low for their man.
AT last they found a barkeeper who
Saturday night and had displayed con-
siderable money.
This furnished a clew to the sleuths,
and by searching through the list of
men arrested for intoxication they
found the name of James Nichols
Among his effects was found the watch
claimed by Mrs. O'Neil, but the money
had evidently been squandered, as
Nichols had but 20 cents to his credit.
A complaint was issued, charging rob-
berry, and Nichols will probably regret
his inordinate thirst that led him
straight to the jail. where he will be
held ON a serious charge.

ARRAY Has Chance to
i've

F. B. Perkins, the victim of the
shooting affray at the New Orleans
rooming house, 712h East First street,
early yesterday morning, was taken to
the Pacific hospital at noon and ply
sicians say that he will probably re-
cover.
His assailant, Perry Horner. is being
held in the city Jail until it is certain
that Perkins will recover. In that
event he will be charged with assault
with intent to commit murder.
According to information received by
the police, Horner applied for room
but had no money to pay for 1t. He
was intoxicated, and when Perkins, the
proprietor, attempted to eject him from
the house he drew knife and stabbed
the other in the abdomen.

WASHINGTON, April 17.-Secretary
Bonaparte has received from an octo-
genarian in Oneonta, N. Y, an anxious
query as to whether John Paul Jones
was picked in alcohol, and, if so, did
he keep WELL The letter has been
answered to the effect that Jones kept
well considering the lapse of years,
but that the department cannot go into
discussion on the relative merits of
cremation and picking in alcohol, the
question which the writer Is really wor-
ried about. The letter reads as fol-

"Please tell me, was Paul Jones found
in lead casket filled with alcohol and
was his body in a good state of pres
ervation?

MUSIC AND

YIddish Players Fail to Appear

The Mason opera house was dark
again last night despite the fact that
the public was invited to see "A Gold
ell Country as interpreted by the Yid-
dish players.
AS late as yesterday morning the
Yiddish players were advertised and
later than that seats were sold for
the performance last night, but the
Yiddish players came not.
When asked why, the manager of
the Broadway house said that the
players had changed their minds about
coming to Los Angeles.
"They heard about the other opera
company coming here and they wired
me to say they did not want to come
until later" said he last evening. "Of
course L objected and wired them to
come, but they would not and so we
had no performance"
The seat holders who appeared last
night and saw only the dark house
went away in anything but the best
of humor.

Captain Cake volunteered the infor-
nation that from his past knowledge

be no use in trying to induce the editor
to satisfy himself with one plate. But

Luxury and Crime.

A recent English robbery case
which reads almost like one of the
Sherlock Holmes stories related to the
detection of a thief through his fond
ness for flowers.
The only clew left by the robbers
of a house near Northampton was a
fragment of a flower, whose petals
were scattered over the floor No
flowers of the same sort were grown
in the garden of the house robbed or
by the neighbors, but an investigation
of the floral shops in the nearby town
showed that a flower of that sort had
been purchased the evening before by
a man who was recognized from the
description given to be a well known
burglar.
At the trial it was shown that, al
though the night had been warm, the
thief, who was of delicate health, had
worn a light overcoat, which crushed
the petals of the flower beneath, and
these had fallen to the carpet when
he had opened his coat to stow away
the Jewels which constituted the great
er part of the spoils.
Although the clew was a slight one
il was correct and the luxury loving
crook will have no need of flowers
to decorate his broad arrow suit for
some time to come.

Paris is unusually gay in the early
fall, and her boulevards are thronged
with people, many of whom come from
various parts of the world to enjoy
the whirl Of revelry experienced here
as in no other city on earth.
The gardens of the Closerie des
Lilas, known also as the Jardin Bull
ller, are profusely illuminated, and as
night advances those who promenade
or dance increase in number. 1t is
one of the sights of Paris, not who'll
ly fashionable or hardly a respecta-
able place, but thousands annually
visit it, for to do Paris and neglect
the Jardins Mabille or Butler would
be a mistake, since their notoriety has
become worldwide.
About ten o'clock on the night in
question, two men, undoubtedly
Americans, saunter into the Jardin
Butler. Their dress and general APP
pearance would attract attention al
most anywhere in Paris, for both

early spring and autumn" says a
writer, when the thermometer often
falls 80 degrees in a few hours, when
the roads are ankle deep in snow
broth, or mud, when the winds blow
raw and cold from every quarter of
the compass and the quickmoving
droskies shower the denominations of
the roads impartially upon noble and
peasant. 1t is no consolation to the
visitor to know that the Neva is seal
ed by ice early in November or late
in October. Long indeed before the
frost king has talked down to the
latitude of st. Petersburg the lordly
river is completely blocked. Great
ice sheets from stormy Ladoga float
down the current; they crash against
the mighty buttresses of the bridges
cling to the banks and gradually ac-
cumulate until the whole length Of the
river, which unites the greatest lake
in Europe with the gulf of Finland, is
completely choked. The ice is rear

ceivable angle. II is strange sight
