Tho chief charm in this scene lies in the fact that Miss Nethersole suggests so wildly the woe of the victim of consuming and unreauited love.

The men are accused running q

cording to +. J. Zeehandelaar, secre-
tary of the Merchants and Manufac-
turers' association, to whom several
letters written by the so-called infor-
nation bureau had been sent, the men
would advertise for statesmen, offering
to give all information necessary in

which they stated are soon to be
opened in Los Angeles, and also in
information necessary in regard to
securing positions for so cents.

principal dry goods stores in the CITY,"
said Mr.. Zeehandelaar. 1.-The location
of the stores were also given, with the
names of the owner or managers.
These sheets were mailed to persons
who answered the advertisements and
sent them so cents.
"He admitted to me that he was not
authorized to send out these lists by
the managers of any Of the stores or
by the owners, and also told me that
his knowledge IN regard to vacancies
existing for statesmen in this city was
very small.

According to Chief Kern it is up to
the postoffce inspectors to stop the two
men from using the mails for this pur-
pose, but if criminal prosecution can
be had the local department will take
