SEEKS MISSING SISTER;
ASKS HERALD TO AID

Two sisters are searching Los Ange-

whereabouts. The search has lasted

appeal to The Herald.
The sister she seeks is Lizzie Far

Angeles unexpectedly, and when she
called at the home in which her sister
was a visitor she discovered the latter
had gone to Redlands. Alice Farnam
has learned of several inquiries having
been made for her by her sister, but sc
far has been unable to locate her. She

BOOKED AS DRUNK
HAVING LARGE SUM
IN His POSSESSION
NOTED ATTORNEY FROM EAST
PROSTATE IN GUTTER
Search at Police Station DiscIoses
Money Belt on His Person Com
tanning $222e.65 in Drafts
and Bills

Unconscious, presumably from the
effects Of liquor, and unable to care
for himself or seek aid, A. E. De Lano,
one of the best known attorneys of
New York and a resident of Batavia,
n. Y, was dragged from q gutter on
East Fifth street near the Arcade depot
by Patrolman Smith yesterday after
noon. He was taken to the central
police station, where it was found that
he had in money belt drafts and bills
amounting to $2229.65.
When taken to the station De Lano
was so drunk that he had to be carried
in by two policemen. His tailor-m
clothes and linen were covered with
mud. He was laid on the floor while
the officer examined him. A search of
the pockets failed to disclose anything
that would lead to Identification, and
only few dollars were found.
AS the man wore good clothing and
had an appearance of refinement the
officer made a thorough search, strip
ping the prisoner to the skin. He was
rewarded by discovering a money belt
containing the drafts and bills. The
belt also contained an envelope on
which was printed "a. E. De Lano,
attorney, over 5S Jackson street, Ba-
tavia, N. Y" The amounts of the
drafts ranged from $50 to 5000, and
were OraWn on II. b. De LanO.
A stamp bearing the figure 1, which
is used to identify persons who are too
intoxicated to tell their names, had
been stamped on De Lanos forehead
and hands before the officers found the
papers that revealed his identity
De Lano was placed in the drunk
tank with common drunks, vagrants
and petty thieves, and unless he puts
up bail he will be arraigned in police
court this morning.
A quart bottle of whisky, three
quarters empty, was bulging out of
De Lano's coat pocket when he was
arrested. 1t will be used as evidence
against him should he fight the charge

New York, November 2s-(Special.) -Eu-
ropean advices continue to be most dis
appointing in failing to respond to the
firm markets here and the light re-
ceipts. Today we all looked for an adj
vance of to points. but were greeted
with decline of points in Liverpool.
Our cablegrams give various reasons,
such as absence of buying power at this
price, Manchester selling against cotton
on hand as no demand for goods, etc.
The opening was steady. with a good de-
mand from the bulls, which carried the
market to within few points of last
evening, but when they ceased to buy a
few selling orders carried the market
down some 20 points, which was about re-
covered on buying from the Mississippi
valley, based on a small crop estimate
Then another GLOW decline followed Iiqui-
dalton from Wall street houses. rather
better short demand is reported at the de-
cline from American spinners. The gov
eminent report Is so light that Liver
pool is not expected to break tomorrow
the points which 1t is due.
