| did not have any kind of a weapon
on my person, except a pocket knife

short Stevens pistol, and only one
cartridge. The reason that | did have
this small arm on my person was that
| was working nights and had about
mile to walk through an Italian
quarter, on the road that led TO my
work. There had been several hold
ups in that neighborhood during the
winter and | carried the small pistol
mentioned for self protection for such
as it could give. Ir any one doubts

in his possession. | will also say this

best of treatment from him while EN-
route from California. He learned /

some would make believe.

l do the fact that l remain in Wayne

vince some people that / am not the

trouble is over I shall go back to
California. Whoever It may be that
brought all this undeserved trouble on
me can have the satisfaction of know
ing that they have brought sorrow
and pain to a faithful little woman
and two little innocent children for
the time being. Otherwise | think
that the satisfaction they hoped to
gain by prosecuting me will be very
short. There are always two sides to
a story and the truth will always
come out best in the end. 1t is not
necessary for me to go into details
about this case here, but | want to
ask the people of Wayne County a
question. Did they ever take into con-
sideration what class of people it was
that gave testimony that caused me
to be indicted? Look up their record
and class and / think you will all
change your opinion on a great many
things. Il am not trying to show here
that I have always walked in the
straight and narrow path, few people
in this world have, but l want to say
that I am accused of many things
that I am perfectly innocent of or

conclusion l wish to say that l will
give bail not 1:.cr than Thursday.

Decided To Raise a Fund As
Well as Collect Bedding
and Clothing.
THE COLLECTING STATIONS
IN EVERY WARD IN THE CITY
CONTRIBUTIONS WILL BE IA
KEN UP TODAY AND TOMOR-
RoW-To FORWARD AT ONCE.

At a meeting of the Woman's
League, held Saturday afternoon at the
East Main Street Friends Church,
plans were laid for raising a fund and
securing clothing and bedding for the
suffering re sidents OF San Francisco.
Over $3.50 in cash was collected at the
meeting and much more was pledged.
In addition to this, arrangements were
made whereby special contributions
were to be asked at the churches, to
be turned over to the cause.
The members of the Womans
League have been working Industrious
ly and have secured much money and
many promises of food, clothing and
bedding. A list of stations where con-
tributions of clothing and bedding are
to be received, has been prepared. and
the first part of this week will be spent
in collecting and sorting out the Al IL
cles which will be sent west. The
Pennsylvania Railroad company has
consented to transport free Of charge
all provisions for the San Francisco
collected will have to be spent for
freight
To Make Purchases Here.
During the week, all money contri-
buttons should be sent to either Mrs
George H. Knollenberg, Mrs w. Is.
Bradbury or Mrs. James Morrison. The
money will probably be spent here,
purchasing articles of clothing and
bedding, which can be obtained here at
a cheaper price than they COULD in the
west.
On Monday afternoon and Tues day
morning, clothing and bedding will be
ceived in the following places:
First Ward, st. Andrews church.
Second Ward, Morrisson-ReeVes Ii

Eat and Lean Men.

Modern scientific investigation In
medical way declares that the plump
man Is not necessarily the ''healthiest"
or the best able to resist disease. The
lean man not only enjoys greater re-
sistance to weakness and debility, but
he Is stronger IN the performance Of a
given task. In other words, a large
fat deposit In the general tissue is no

Stone GOnRs.

A recent English traveller In China
describes some remarkable examples
Of sounding stones, or "stone gongs,"
which he saw at Chufu, the birthplace
and burial place Of Confucius. One Of
the stones, which are composed of a
grayish oolitic limestone, has been
shaped into cover for an incense dish
placed In front Of the tomb of the
grandson Of Confucius. When struck
with stick or with TIE knuckles 1t
rings like bronze, and the sound Is so
distinct that 1t is difficult to believe
without inspection that the object is
not really composed of metal. A cor.

bridge at Corick, In County Mayo. Ire

Taking No Chances.

A Glasgow steamer was laboring In a
heavy sea, the waves sometimes sweep
Ing her decks, but the officers had as
sured the passengers that there was no
danger, and all seemed reasonably
calm with the exception of one meek
appearing little man, who every few
minutes would approach an officer and
anxiously inquire IL he thought the ship
would founder.
"No, tell your one of them finally
exclaimed, with impotence. what is
the matter with your Look at those
other people-they are not scared to
death"
"Oh, I'm not scared" the man re-
piled. But, IL the ship was going to
founder, I wanted to know a little
ahead Of time"

goodby and all thatT
"Well, not exactly" the man said
hesitatingly. '"The fact is, my mother
in-law is along with me, and If the ship
was quite sure to sink l wanted to say a
