The Af171itU Craze

The affinity Craze.
FERDINAND PINNEY EARLE, the man who some
time ago created an international sensation by dis
carding his wife and marrying his affinity has beer
arrested and lodged in Jail for beating his wife, Mr.
Earle is artist and evidently has the artistic tenn
permanent but he is very unfortunate in the selection
of his afinities. The trouble with Ferdinand seems
to be enlarged ego of self-importance which, by
few days of confinement in vulgar Jail, might be
reduced to it's normal size.
Artist Earle is the gentleman who gave impetus
to the sensational affinity that swept over the
country short time ago. craze that was the means
of wrecking many happy homes Perhaps his ex.
perience will have dampening effect on those who
possess vivid but cratic Imagination. Instead Of
Mrs. Earle finding her true affinity, she found man
who beat and cursed her for trivial things which
gentleman would be guilty of. This incident is
bound to take the romance out of the affinity craze
and rob it of it's chief charm. No doubt the world
breathed sigh of relief it read the closing chap
ter in the disgusting romance; and Mr.. Earle as he
medtated in his CELL added several impressive adjec
tives to his vocabulary.

II Friends BETRAYAL.

II TTIHILCU 5 -DEUTIyLC.
DURING the past week there occurred sensa-
tiona tragedy the participants of whom prom
inent in society and clubdom. It is alleged that
the who was killed committed one of the gravest
breaches of hospitality that man commit. In the
guise of intimate friend this representative of cu
ture and arstocraic breeding took advantage of his
friends absence by alternating the affections of his
wife. Such betrayal of confidence is not becoming
to one who posed the symbol of the highest type
of manhood, but is the characteristics of the Shiny
creatures of the swamps and forests. Such
must be without honor, decency and all the noble
attributes which are the hall marks of gentleman.
So long there are such unprincipled in this
world, SO long will there bs such tragedies occurred
at the Bayside Yacht club.

LAW has just been passed and put into effect
which makes it felony for bucket shops to operate
in New York. This law went into effect last week,
and the maximum penalty provides for fine of S., 900
five years in prison. or both. In case the offender
is a corporation, fine of $1,000 can be assessed.
This law will evidently prove great boone to the
stock exchange but it is difficult for the average man
to understand why egslated out of existence

is difference between them, but the members of the

The people Of Springfield are beginning to realize
the enormity Of their offense and are sincerely
ashamed Of their conduct. The grand jury has
brought in indictments against nearly hundred of
the active participants in the riots and it is very
likely that many of them will be given long sentences

citizens INDUCED in is going to prove very expensive

prosecution intends to spare none, to make an ex-

There was a living picture at the
Potrero hospital yesterday-a small bed
in hospital room and, smuggling in It,
two small boys aged Z and s, with the
chubbiest of cheeks, the softest and
clearest of eyes and two pairs of red
lips opening over rows of teeth like
kernels of white corn. Brown and
golden heads nestled shyly into the
same pillow, while childish tongues
told their tale.

That was matter which the hospital
authorities decided by keeping the boys
all night. The lads had been picked
up earlier in the day and taken to the
hospital by a passerby who had found
them on the edge of the channel after
both had fallen into the water. They
had played truant from school and In
the course of their rambles went to the
edge Of the channel and had a narrow

Facing the hardships of camp life
in the luxurious Peninsula hotel, eight
of Uncle Sans officers rested easily

day morning. and riding through the
park and down the beach arrived at
Burlingame at 2 o'clock. Here tents
for the enlisted men were pitched and
the horses stabbed in the open field.
It happened at a convenient point. as
Lieutenant A. J. Lynch, with Company
T. of the Fourteenth cavalry, who is
making a monthly ride through this
section, had already gone into camp
at that point and was we'll supplied
with forage for the horses.
From Burlingame the officers took

W.P. WATCHED BY
RAILROAD WIZARD
Experts Inspecting New Line
Are Believed to Be Harri-
mans Representatives

The presence in this city of A. A.
Robinson; Joseph o. Osgood, chief en-
gineer of the Central railroad of New
Jersey: ]. G. Gwyn, acting chief engi-
neer of the Denver and Rio Grande and
Arthur Ridgway, acting engineer of
bridges and buildings, also of the Dem
yer and Rio Grande, Is creating con-
siderable interest.
Those who think they are in posi-
ton to know smile at the explanation
that they are here simply for the pur-
pose Of inspecting the Western Pacific
in the interest of the bond holders.
Many insist there is deeper signif1-
canoe in the visit, and coming so short
ly after the recent deal between Har-
riman and Gould those familiar with
the situation are inclined to believe
that Robinson and Osgood, who are
credited with being the greatest rail-
road engineers in the United States,
have been sent here to make a report
on what has been spent and how much
money will be required to complete the
road
Robinson is recognized as one Of the
greatest railroad builders in the coun-
try. He practically built the Santa
Fe and at one time was its president
He went from the Santa Fe to the Mex
lean Central as president and short
time ago retired from active railroad
work. His temperance In railroad
affairs has naturally created a stir.
With him is Joseph o. Osgood, who
Is said to be also one of the best ex-
perts this country has as a railroad
builder He is a close personal friend
of Robinson. and was sent for by him
to report on the Tampico terminals of
the Mexican Central The other two
men are in Gould's employ. Both men
have made a careful inspection of the
terminals in this city and also of those
across the bay.
Rumor persistently connects their
visit here in some obscure way with
Hartman. There is also the rumor
that Robinson and Osgood are here for
the express purpose Of determining
whether the Western Pacific has paid
dearly for its holdings.
No one can say that this is due to
Hartman. They do say, however, that
the recent shakeup In the Gould prop
critics, and the fact that Hartman will
have say in the management of the
Gould roads make this sudden investi-
cation into the Western Pacific appear
as IL the little giant OF Wall street
was taking deeper interest than what
appears on the surface.
