CP.&T A GILDED YOUTH OF 'FRISCO Ohat with a Oalifornian on the Youne Mil- lionaires of the Coast, CHARLEY FAIR AND HIS IMPATIENCE Story ot a Young Man Who Desires to oount A Fortune that Will Some Day Overtake Him—An Interrupted Wedding Tour. H. Burko of San Francisco, who was in the city yesterday, gave the following inter- esting interview cerning the young milisnaires of the Pacific coast in general and Charley Fair in particul “Charles L. Fair, whose impatience to realize on his prospective millions has brought him vefore the public quite fre- quently of late, does not belong to the first grade of the gilded youth of San Fraucisco. "I'he only social distinction he ever acquired was gained at the head of the table in the Home of Inebriates. In that iustivution he long been recognized as a relgn- avorite. An engagement At Dwight, treutment was _ administered, a subsequent _ visit to an ‘institute’ in New York for reinforcement called him away from the San Francisco home for an unusual length of time and caused the rumor to spread_that he was re- formed, but all doubts in this regard were dispelled o few months since when nis father, ex-Senator James G, Fair, had him sent from the Occidental hotel to the old “home for Jags’ on Stockton street. “During his temporary lapse from inobri- oty the young man possibly comprehended thut his father had not accorded to him that onerous treatment which the possessor of 20,000,000 could bestow. Morcover, he must have been grieved when he reflected that his share of his mother's estate, which, of itself, is sufficient to mako him as rich s prince, would not be availuble until he should attain a certain age some years yet to come. “To his mental vision it was hardship enough to wait until he was old for his for- tune, but to wait until he was both old and sober was equal to disinheritance. With miliions in prospect his weekly allowance was absorbed in a single dinner at the Maison Riche, and as a result ho frequently cut up high capers and made scenes in the family to get his income increased. Sprees of Continental Renown, “If Charley’s sprees were local in their in- ception they gained continental renown by their intensity and diversified quality. After the marriage of the eldest daughter of the family to Mr. Herman Olerichs of New York, the death of Mrs, Fair and the son, James, the ex-senator grew more indulgent with his only surviving son. The boy was allowed a string of horses, but the string was not long and the horses were not fast. In comparison with Tom Williams® racers the Fair stable was not to be mentioned on the turf, and besides there was no money to maintain a yacht, to say nothing of funds to shelter a pretty actress from vhe stress of a bad season. All of these troubles coming on top of despondency be. tween jags rendered the young fellow des- perate. In his desperation he demanded of his father an advance of $50,000. When the demand was not honored allusion was made by Charley toa London money lender who stood ready to advance $250,000, provided an assignment of his legacy was executed. The youngster in his wrath made instant prep- arations for atrip to London, but as he was about to leave San Francisco he was beguiled into a carriage and conveyed to the Home of the Inebriates—the scene of his earliest social triumphs. The ex-senator was the guiding spirit which changed the destina- tion of the young man’s journey and doubt- less enjoyed the triumph, inasmuch as the British betrayer of young American million- aires would uot get a hold on the Fair estate if diplomacy could avert it. An Interrupted Bridal Tour, “The young man's sojourn at the home was briof. Ho escaped some way, and obyi- ously before the conclusion of his spree, for he managed to get marriod to Maude Nel- son, convey all liis property to her, and get as far as Port Costa on his_wedding trip be- fore the old man could law fully corrall him, The young man and his brido are now in the hands of the courts, the lawyers and the de- tectives. The case may become celebrated, but the chances are that ‘Uncle Jimmy,’ as the ex-senator is callad, will bring into play his proverbial resources of business sagacity and individual tact and adjust the difficulty out of court. The ex-senator keeps a keon eyo on the Fair millions, even if domes irials confront him. After his own divor which was seoured by his wife some fifteen years ago, he has guarded her allowance of ' $4,000,000. In large business transactions he was her adviser, and whatever opinion she may have enter- tained of himas a husband, she had un- bounded faith in his ability as a manager of business affairs. She was not toucked by the Brander wheat deal, which cost Flood so many millions and ultimately broke kis heart. “‘James G. Fair is one of the rich men of the Pacific coast whose weulth is not over- estimated. He is richer than Bonanza Mackey, and his purchases of water front property which have been made on a fast scale during the last five years promise to give him the largest individual fortune in San Francisco. In the natural orderof events his property will go to his two daugh- ters and his son Charles. The ex-senator is not troubled with any sentimental notions, philanthropy or benevolence. What he gives will be given from day to day. By Fair the money was mado, and to the ¥airs it will be given. Ttisd family custom to hold fast to all ‘the coin in the family, and young Charley’s departure from it doubtless raised the presumption of insanity. Even the little charities within the limits of tho church which Mrs, Fair instituted i her lifetime. have been ‘turned down’ since her demise. Desorving and needy women, who formerly received assistance from her bounty, are no longer on the list, Young Milllonaires of the Const. “As a class the young millionaires of San Francisco differ widely from young Fair and John Luming. Most of the rich young men are industrious gontlemen, Somo of them are highly educated and possess business tralts of a superior character. Colouel ¥'red Crocier and his brothers, Geovge and Will Crocker, hold high rank. Kqually vrogressive and worthy as business men are Jobn D., Adolph B. and C. A.

Heurst, the proprietor of the Examiver, hus demonstrated his ability to successfully conduct a great daily news- paper. James L. Flood, whose early per- formances promised a great record - for speed, is now regarded as a conservative and prudent business man. Joseph D, Graut is a cautious merchant, 4 good traveler and a churming companion. “Young Poter Donahue is a popular mil- lionaire, but feels it incumbent upon himselt 10 pass a good deal of his time in Europe. James D, Phelan, vice president of the Cali: fornis World's Fair commission, has evinced a fondness for public life. If ho keeps his health and lets go of his money he may some day go to the United States senate from California, Married and Settled Down, “Some 0f these young millionaives have married and, 80 to speak, are seitled down. They maintain superbly equipped city and suburban residences and are fond of music, pictures and books. Many of them belong to the Bohemian club and several are staunch supporters of the San Francisco Art association. For recreation John D. and Adolph Spreckels fancy yachting and with the Lurline have won m.“fi prizes on the bay and outside. Will Crocker's taste for pictures is recognized. In his collection of rare and valuable paintings a Millet is prominent. “All fn all, the rich young men of San Francisco rauk as high wtellectually and in ihe general attribates of manliness as their contemporaries of New York and Boston. One with & fancy for studying the traits and inclinations of the rich young people of both sexes would reach the conclusion that the boys of San Francisco have displayed more business sense than the girls of the city in the management of inberited wealth. ~ The latier, io mapy instances, exohan thelr wiches for foreign Wtles and howes abroad, while the young memmarry sensible Amer- joan girls and toaoh gheir childron that the flag of the United S waves over the best country in the wonlfli" —————— CLEAR CASE OF NEGLEOT.

This time it is the Omaha View schoel building that causes the trouble. Recently Health Inspector Holmes made an examination of' the plumbing in the school, concerning which much complaint has been made of late, and he submitted a report showing that the closets in the build- ing were in most horrible shape for daily use by scores of children, Tha basins were out of repair, and everything, in fact, con- nected with the system was out of order.

According to the opinton of the police the day of big diamond or jewelry robberies secms to be a thing of the past and the pro- fession of being a diamond thief will soon be classed among the lost arts. There wasa time when an expert diamond thiet ranked high among the crooks and his profession required greater skill and gave larger profits than the most daring bank robber or safo blower could hope to secure after a series of successful hauls. There may be several reasons for this condition of affairs, but the principal one is an organization known as the Jewelcrs Protective union, The object of this union is made apparent from the following oxtract of its constitu- tion: For the mutnal protection ot its menibers in case of the robbery of nny merchandise whilo in the custody of any of its membors or their salosmen uway from their respectivo. places of business, and for the purpose of employing detectives or uny other parties or means that may be ned advisable, undor the direction of the executive committes for that purpose, to prosecute the thieves and endeavor to re- store the property. Unrelenting Foe to Thieves. This organization 1s_as bitter & fos asa thief ever had, Once having offended against a member of the umon he will be followed, if need be, to the ends of the earth, until ultimately he is lodged in prisos The unijon 1s relentless. Its foundation principle is that there can be no compromise with thieves. If a member of the union has been robbed a proposition for 4he return of the booty on condition that the robber be not prosecuted will not ve entertained under any circumstances, be the stolen property ever 80 valuable, The union does not guarantee the return of stolen jewels, but it gives its members the assurance that as soon as a robbery has been committed everything possible will be done to secure the thieves ana prosecute them, and then no stone will be left unturned to recover possession of the property. Tae thieves are followed unflinchingly to a con- viction, and in no case since the formation of the union has a member been robbed with- out at least one and usually more of the criminals concerned peing captured and brought to justice. In nearly every in- stance also has most of the property been re- covered. Its Moral Influence. Thus it has come to pass that profeasional thieves fully understand that if they rob a jewelry saleswan who has the protection of the union they avo certain to be arrested and punished for it. They have come to compre- hend that a large capital is available and will b used in persistently following them up to a conviction. Beforo the Jewelers Protective union was founded, in 1576, there was an average of from six to ten robberies of traveling sales- men each year. Since its formation, or rather during the fifteen years from 1878 to 1893, there have been only twenty robberies in all, The formation of the union was largely due to the robbery of a sulesman of William R. Alling & Co. of 170 Brondway, New York. This salesman haa been selling jewelry in Boston, where his movements had been watched by a gang of professional thioves. The sales- man had his diamonds and jowelry n a truni, and when he left Boston for Spring- flold this trunk was checked as ordinary baggage. Story of a Famous Arrest. When he arrived at Springfield he found that his check called only for a valise,which he found to be filled with fruit and waste paper. The thieves had changed the checks n the trunk and valise in Boston and the trunk went with them to Hartford and thence to Now York, whero they emptied it of its valuable contents. Instead, howeve: of destroying it, they reshipped it' to Bali more, where it was found. Superintendent 1 Police Murray of New York tock hold of the case and discovered a hackman who had conveyed the trunk from the Grand Central station to a neighboring hotel. He furnished descriptions of the thieves and their arre: followed, and “Kid” Briggs and ‘‘Gussi Raymond wero convicted. Part of the plun- der was recovered, Mr. Alling became so interested in this case that hé got a number of wholesale jew- clers together and they formed a union for mutual protection. He is now its president, and has always been 1ts primo mover. The first time the workings ot the Pro- tective union were brought to public notice in the western country was when G. W. Pollack, a traveling salesman for a New York wholesale diamond house, was shot and robbed of a valuabie case of diamon on the Northwestern train not far from Cali- fornia Junction, Ia. Although the robbery was committed by a crook known in Omaha and Salt Lake, he made good his escape and it seemed as if he never would be appre- hended. Pollack’s Celebrated Case. Pollack and his firm were members of the union and President Alling immediately put the best detective talent that money could secure at work on the case, After an almost tireless chase over hundreds of miles of ground and covering a period of more than ten months, occasioning an outlay of several thousand dollars, James Burke, alias “Kid"” McCoy, was arrested in a small mining camp near Leadville,Colo. Therobber was brought back to the scene of the robbery. He was tried, convicted and is now serving a sever teen year sentence in the penitentiary at Fort Madison, Ia. All this work was accomplished under the dfrection of the union, ‘The prospects of capture and conviction, ending with a long sentence to penal servitude has had such a uraging effect upon this class of crooks that they are seeking less hazardous methods of gaining a hving. As a general thing most of these thieves were shrewd, well dressed, daring men who thoroughly understand their business, and, as they were always amply supplied with funds, it was hard to convict them. Among some of the famous thefts of jewels are the cases at St. Paul and Kansuas City where thieves drove up to the leading jewelry store at the noon hour and stole gems valued at many thousands of dollars, They made thelr ape in the crowded streets, but were captured later on and are now doing time in prison. Tn one instance, however, the union and its detectives were not able to catch a thief. This was in the case of a bold robbery at Dayton, O., in 1891, where & salesman for Keek & Co. was robbed of $15,000 worth of dismonds by & man named Fred Dhein, who followed the same tactics as were adopted by McCoy in the Pollack robbery with the excoption that he was able to steal the sales- man's valise and did not have to resort to violence. 7The thief escaped to Europe and has escaped arrest. of Labor, gave its first annual ball last night at Morand's dancing academy on Harney street, The friends of the "‘congealed water brigade” were: out 1n force, and until the l early morning participated in the program ouildings. ¥ rtey ions og Hombs—4 ICE'S akme% #; No Alum, the Standard 9 f twenty-five numbers.

Bosro: Jot. 25.—[Correspondence of Trnr Ber |—Have you ever visited Boston Com- mons on Sunday afternoon when the weather permitted outdoor gatherings? If you have not you have missed one of the sights of quaint old Boston. I took this in one afternoon and found it a sort of a free- for-all, 80 to speak, where all sorts of people gather in bunches at differont points on the ground to listen to the uncorkings of pent-up feelings on almost every subject imagin- able. At one pownt I stopped and listened to a colored man with a hoarse, badly broken up voice telling those around him what a lot of sinners they were, and pointing the way to a botter land. Just a little way beyond another crowd w thered around a paint- ing, showing the wicked ways of man and a route that might be taken to a hetter life, A young man who predxed his re- marks with the sad story that he had spent five years of his early manhood behind the bars of the New York peniten- tiary—he seemed to swell with pride when ho referred to this—calied attention to the fact that there was still a great work for Christians to do and that a great many well meaning men found their way into peni- teutiaries simply because they had gone wrong in their youth. Wandering on a little further an old gentleman was surrounded by a sympathetic audience. He was using the recent railroad accident as an illustration to show that Christians must live a Christian life and when taken off suddenly will be ready to go. In another small gathering a very oid gentleman—nearly 100, I should judge-—was doing his best to convert a lot of young urchins who had gathered around him. Up on the side hill Iran into a political gathering. At least the fellow who was doing the talking was lavoring with the problem, *Snall We Abolish Private Capital.” It a4 grave question, and it was amusing to see, or rather hear, the agi- tator handle it. Going on a littlo further I found an old acquaintance in the person of Charlotte Smith, a woman who goes about the country revolutionizing things generally. She had her banner—the *‘half-holiday”—nailed to a tree and was pouring hot shot into the Chinese, the bad men and women—and o good miny other things too numerous to mention, Near tho entrance gate was still anotter crowd listening to a man who was trying to prove that a man was his own master, and that he could go about in the world and do almost as he pleased just so long as he aid not interfers with other people’s business, The “‘root” of his “‘evil” was not apparent, although I remained quite long enough to see that the fellow did not know what he was talking about. I notlc a number of other gatherings, but I saw quite enough to get the impression that the old Boston Commons evidently has be:n dedicated to all sorts of crowds, and that there was apparently no restrictions or restramnt. But all was orderly, and nothing was said or done that was particularly shocking. 1sometimes wonder if any «ood comes from these gatherings. In any event, they appear to do little or no harm. It tukes all sorts of people to makea world, These gatherings more than ever impressed me of this fact. W. B. T. P S Commercial Club Notes. The club has lost interest in the traders’ trains.
