FOUND HIS FRIEND
BY BOTTLED NOTE

San Francisco, Feb. 17-Through
the instrumentality of a bottled mes
sage that drifted in from the sea, Will
liam Owens, life convict at San
Quentin prison, has made a friend
who is trying to induce Governor Gill
lett to issue a pardon.
On the Fourth of July outing in
1908 William F. Ahern, editor of the
Coast State Reporter, wrote on his
card: Good luck to the finder" and
placed the card in a bottle, which he
tossed into the ocean. A short time
ago this bottle after two years among
the waves, was washed on the prison
beach where Owens was working. He
opened it and wrote to Ahern.
Impressed by the circumstances,
Ahern is now trying to obtain a par
don for Owens, who was senteced
from Mendicino county for completely
in murder. He says the jury disa-
greed on his first trial and he then &C
cepted suggestion to plead guilty
and take light sentence. Instead of
light sentence he was given a life
term.

made it regular practice to receive
visitors who sought spiritual advise

for a fee of s. an hour, would give
them private seances and advise them

before the court, the prisoner admit
ed that his advice TO his clients, TO
speculate in certain stock was not
based upon communications from

Some Gossip Gathered From
The Gay American Metropolis

New York, Feb. 17.-How easy ii is
strated by the experience of a young
woman in this city. Miss Hanlon. a
singer and musician was the possessor
OF fine StradivariouS violin which
had been presented to her some years
ago by Mr.. f. H. Hartman. the late
railroad king. She valued the instru-
ment highly and never parted with it
until last July, when the violin need
ed certain minor repairs. She en-
trusted the instrument to friend,
who was to take it to certain music
house for repairs. The violin was
not returned to her and when she in
auired at the music house she was in
formed that the instrument had been
returned to the man who had brought
it.
Miss Hanlon then went to the police
and reported her loss. She was refer
red TO the Harlem Detective Bureau
and made her complaint there. She
was told to return in a few weeks
which she did, and was then informed
that no trace had been found of the
violin or the man who was supposed
to have it, Miss Hanlon called again
on several occasions and finally went
to headquarters and reported the case
there. To her amaZement she was
arrested and sent to the psychopathic
ward at Bellevue for observation. Ii
was fortunate for Miss Hanlon that
he was able 10 convine DR.. Gregory
the doctor who examined. her at Bel
leyue, that her mental faculties were
by no means impaired. She was
brought to the Yorkville court and
upon the report of DR.. Gregory, dis
charged as sane. The young woman
has many friends and they intend tC
make it rather unpleasant for the pc
lice official who was responsible fol-
the inexcusabie treatment which Miss
Hanlon had to suffer.
During the last few weeks the DO
lice have made one of their semi-oc
casional raids upon fortune-tellers
palmists. mediums. and other fakirs
in the city. Most of those who were
caught in the dragnet of the police
were small-fry, but the other day a
big fish was caught. The man arrest
ed is the pastor of a Spiritualist

TOWNSHIP TEACHERS.

All the township teachers were
present at the meeting Saturday, No
vember 25. The great number of
tardy pupils was one of the features
which the monthly reports for No
vember showed. This, together with
irregular attendance, was a subject
for discussion. The value of the
habit of promptness and regularity
in business was brought out, hence
the Importance of establishing those
habits in school days. The teacher
attitude was shown to be most I'M
portant in securing both "on-time-
ness" and regularity.
"How pupils can spend the noon
hour" was incidentally subject on
which some good suggestions were
made. Some OF these were in the
line of practical agriculture-making
( models and performing simple eX-
periments; also some domestic sci
ence-practica work with the needle
in repairs, etc.
The subject of soil-its making,
its transportation, its drainage, Its
enriching, it's cultivation, it's ele-
ments, etc., were instructively dis
cussed by the teachers.
BY action of the township board OF
education there will be but one meet
ing each month for the rest of the
school year, but the time of the
meeting was fixed for 1890 p. m
