Gordon was rrested at Pasadena last week on a charge | of imitating United States postage-stamps, \d his plant, stamps and circulars were | zed by Marshal Botello. The local of- | fice was formally notified of the capture, but the true facts in the case did rot come | to light until yesterday. Gordon’s scheme was one of magnificent possibilities, in that it proposed to recover | for an insignificant sum everything that mortals are liable to lose except, possibly, their reputation. The thing was to be| done by a system of ‘‘waif offices,” estab- | lished throughout the United States, the postmaster being made the waifmaster. In a general circular to the public Gordon, who signs himself *United States Waif- niaster General,”” sets forth the ‘‘manner | of procedure to find all kinds of lost prop- | erty, including children, persons, etc.” | The circular reads as follows: | 1. When a person loses anything he writes | on & United States postal card with paia reply | or in & letter, full particnlars of his loss— when, where, name. address, etc., having a | 20-cent wail stamp printed, penned, pasted or | pinned thereon, bearing the name of the waif | office and the waifmaster’s running number of | the lost waif, and delivers or mails the same | to the appointed local waifmester. | 2. When a peréon finds anything he writes | on & United States postal card or in a letter s€ The 20-Cent Waif Stamp, as Printed by ‘Y Craigie Gordon, particulars as above and delivers or mails the same to the appointed local waifmaster. 3. When the waifmaster finds the lost and found descriptions to correspond he informs | the loser jon the United States reply postal | card o= in a letter the particulars sent to him | by the finder. i 4. All'lost and found descriptions not corre- | sponding in local postoffices will be sent seven | days after date to Los Angeles waif office for | Southern California, and to San Francisco waif | office for Northern California, also to the gen- eral walf office at Washington, D. C., to un- dergo a second and third search, for an addi- tional 20-cent waif stamp tor each search. 5. First, second and third-class Postmasters, on receipt of this circular, will appoint the waifmaster subject to confirmation, but fourthe class Postmasters will, unless otherwise ap- pointed, be ordinarily the waifmasters as well. CRATGIE GORDON, United States Waifmaster-General. Los Angeles, o Pranciago,| €l | All that a person has to do under Gor- don’s Utopian idea is to report the loss of a $20 piece to the waif office’ and it will be returned by the lucky finder in the belief and hope that if he shoula ever be placed in a similar position equal favor will be shown him. All this can be done for the | comparatively small sum of 20 cents. If, however, the first attempt should fail the loser is given an opportunity o makea | tended to extend not only throughout our United States, but to all the nationsof the earth in due time, we inclose you herewith > 20-cent waif stamps for immediate use, ation, writing thereon the name of your office and running number, commencing with Nos. 1,2, 3 and so on. As the United States Postoffice does not yet permit the afiixing of our waif stamps on postal cards, you can imitate one by four cross lines, returning to us the canceled stamp with your report of business on the first day of | every month. Before the twelve waif stamps are entirely used up, send to the address below for a new | supply, together with remittance for the orig- inal twelve at the rate of 10 cents per stamp, thus leaving you 10 cents for each 20-cent waif used. When rewards are offered and not claimed by the finder, one-half goesto the local waif- master and one-half to the waif-office servi | The same from the sale of articles left in waif- offices when not claimed. CRAIGIE GORDON, Waifmaster-General. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Cal. In getting out his stamps Gordon made one fatal mistake. On the margin he placed the words, *U. 8. mail.” As soon as the local postal authorities heard of the scheme they investigatea the stamp, and were not long in discovering that the waifmaster-general had laid himself liable to the United States laws. Without further ado they arrested Gor- don, seizing his plant and all the stamps on hand. The success or failure of the “waif’’ system will now probably never be known, for if Gordon escapes punishment it will probably be under the promise to “'go and sin no more.” WHITE IS UNDER ARREST, The Cattle King Locked Up Yesterday for Contempt of Court, Would Not Pay His Wife's Counsel Fees and Went to the County Jail. George E. White, the Round Valley *‘cattle king, whose domestic and finan- cial difficulties have made him well known through the medium of the courts, took | uphis abode at the County Jail last even- ing, where he will remain until this morn- ing and perhaps longer if the Supreme Court refuses to intervene in his behalf. ‘When White's wife began an action for divorce some time ago she obtained a par- tial victory in an allowance of $500 for counsel fees. White neglected to pay the sum, though admonished by the court that its man- date must be obeyed, and stated that he would go to jail first. Thena warrant was issned for his arrest on a charge of con- tempt of court, but for some reason the Deputy Sheriffs who were charged with taking him into custody failed tofind him. Recently he took up his residence with a spiritualist colony, and hearing of his change of address the Sheriff's deputy lay in wait for him and finally served the warrant. He was taken to the County Jail and his attorney hurried to the Supreme Court, where he sued out a writ of haheas corpus returnable this morning at 10 o’clock, If the writ is not granted White will stay in jail until the $500 awarded Mrs. ‘White by Judge Hebbard is forthcoming. e Has Millions in His Mind. Peter Zimmerman of San Jose, who imagines he is possessed of millions of dollars, was yes- terday committed to the Napa Insane Asylum by Judge Hebbard. The Lavin Estate. John Lavin was yesterday appointed ex- ecutor of the estate of Thomas Lavin, and filed bonds in the amount of $24,000. . —————— LoAxs on watches, jewelry, silverware, at Uncle Harrig', 15 Grant avenue, THEY ALL WANT 0 SEE THE FIGHT, Members of the Four Hun- dred Get the Pugilistic Craze. CORBETT - SHARKEY GO. Olympic Club Lads Will Attend the Contest in a Body. BETTING NOW ON THE RESULT. Pools to Be Sold on the Four-Rouad Contest and the Dixon-Flaherty Fight. Not until to-night, when vool-selling will begin, will it be known how the public regard the two men in the Corbett-Shar- key four-round go. There has already been some betting, in- cited either by like or dislike, friendship or something else, but not much. Strong Sharkey men have notrun against enthusi- astic Corbett backers, although one can en- ter almost any public vplace in the City and hear adherents of either one or the other offer to wager large sums of money on their respective favorites. - But this kind of betting does not count. It is done through sentiment and not judgment. The immutable law of supply and demand will regulate affairs, the odds being given where the money is the most plentiful. The chief points on which the betting must be done and on which the pools will be sold are: Whether Corbett will “‘stop” Sharkey within four rounds; whether Sharkey will “stop”” Corbett within that time, or which of the two will get a favor- able decision at the close of the contest, both being on their feet ready to continue the bout. Of these propositions the one whether or not Corbett will *‘stop’’ Sharkey is cal- culated to cdll for the heaviest betting. The others are generally conceded, that Sharkey will neither get a decision in his favor, nor will he be able to ‘‘stop” the champion, hence odds of “crazy’”’ magni- tude would have to be given to bring about a wager. Sharkey’s friends are sanguine on the point that he can neither be knocked out nor stopped in four rounds. They look back to his prowess ashipboard, when for amusement he exposed his jaw to the punches of his mates. They also con- sider the bulldog fashion he went at Joe Choynskiand came out unharmed after eight hard rounds. They consider him in the light of one who may not prove a vic- tor, but who cannot possibly be van- | quished. There is where the sentimental part of | the business comes in, and it is possibie that many thousands of dollars may be lostin that line by the sailors of the sev- eral war vessels in these waters. The old-timers who will look back will remember poor Clarence Whistler. He was a wrestler of as fine physique as was ever seen in this State. Built like Sharkey, only on a little larger mold, he knew how to handle himself at least as well as does the sailor. He was the man who, in this City, invited John L. Sullivan to go into a back room, lock the door and throw away the key so as to have no interference in fighting it out their own way. Sullivan did not accept. ‘Whistler, like Sharkey, was muscle- bound, and could make a terrific battle at | rough-and-tumble, but was hardly able to | stand for a clever fighter. In those days Jack Brady, a big man, { himself. champion of this State, who was only half scienced as compared with Corbett,Ter_— Whistler at the old Wigwam. FAS S Whistler, in the estimation of every- body, was to annihilate him. The fight lasted less than a minute. Brady landed on the strong man’s jaw and ‘knocked him out most completely. No- bady was more astonished than Brady He did not believe when he en- tered the ring that he could knock out his man in a week’s punching, but he believed he could eventually *'stop’ him. Such is the case with Corbett and Sharkey. Corbett is satisfied he will eventually get a favorable decision, but he does not quite see where he is going to knock Sharkey out. do this, and there are four rounds in which one of the cleverest boxers in the world has time to find the proper place to land it. There will be heavy odds offered against Corbett finishing bis man in the first, second or third rounds. In connection with the betting on the contest there are to be pools sold on the feather-weight contest between Georze Dixon and Martin Flaherty in Boston to- night. Dixon is champion of the world in his class, but according to Jim Corbett, who has seen Flaherty at work, the latter has at least an even chance, in this twenty- round go, for a decision. The sale of seats for the coming event at the Pavilion opened yesterday morning. The Olympic Club members took a block of 200 tickets and reserved 100 seats more. The Bohemian Club reserved fifty seats, and forty more were taken up by the Pacific-Union Club. These tickets do not include private purchases, but have been secured by the respective clubs as in- stitutions. The Pavilion has been blocked off into boxes surrounding the platform where the contest is to take place, and further away | ars tne benches. /The galleries are also tixed with bench seats. Inall there will be seating capacity for 3900 people down- stairs and 3000 upstairs, with prices rang- ing from $2 to $5. ‘I expect 10,000 people will be in the | Pavilion on the night of the contest,’”* said Corbett yesterday. Extra precautions have been taken to see that all people properly entitled to witness the mill get their due. Incident- ally precautions are being taken that the principals get all that is coming to them. P. D. Linville, the special policeman, who used to manage the old California Athletic Clab contests, has been placed in | charge of this one. He will bave fifty spe- cial policemen under him. Twelve will be stationed on and will patrol the roof of the Pavilion, while the others will care for the | inside and outside of the building. Yesterday Corbett went through his usual exercise punching the bag and spar- ring with George Green, and he also had some handball practice. Neither he nor Sharkey diets very much. Each eats pretty much what his fancy calls for, and while Sharkey refrains from drinking intoxicants Corbett does not hesitate to take a glass of beer, ale or champagne. Bluffing a Bishop. Bishop Thorburn, the great Methodist Episcopalian, on the Sunday evening after the steamer Caledonia left Bombay on her last voyage, preached on sin. In showing that sin was simply the generic term for many eviis, he pointed out that charcoal | and diamond were composed of the same elements differently combined, and said that if you were to place a chunk of char- coal on the deck and leave 1t there till the ship reached Suez it would be found to have depreciated 25 per cent, whereas a diamond similarly treated wonld be found as pure, as bright and as valuable as when first deposited in its position. The pro- mulgation of this theory had the effect of raising an excited controversy on board, and Mr. Archer, described as a great Yankee authority on *‘books,” offered the Bishop to place a piece of charcoal on the deck on condition that his opponent sup- plied the diamond, and he would bet Rs. 5000 that when the boat reached Suez there would be more charcoal and less diamond visible. The Bishop shirked the ordeal.— Westminster Gazette. ——— The Cocopah volcanoes. seventy-five miles southwest of Yuma, Ariz., have recently been in violent eruption. The larger ones emitted great volumes of smoke and some flames, and the smaller ones threw out quantities of water, stones and mud. The roar of the eruptions could be heard twenty miles or more.

The Washtenaw Is Now Being Got Ready at the Fulton Iron Works. IS FAST AND A BIG CARRIER. i Johnson-Locke Company Will Proba- bly Manage the New Concern. The Southern Pacific is not going to have it all its own way with Eastern | freight. A new rival is in the field and the merchants of San Francisco will have a chance to patronize it. | When Collis P. Huntineton made his arrangements with the Panama Railroad he evidently expected that everything would be plain sailing and that the oppo- sition was dead. His steamers between | New York and Aspinwall were withdrawn and sent around the Horn to augment his fleet running between San Francisco and Panama, and the Central American Com- pany retired frcm this end of the business. Soon after the change rates went up and the only relief importers had was from the sailing vessels. According to stories told on the iront yesterday Mr. Huntington will have another and a determined oppo- sition to fight. Fast steamers have been chartered, and they will make the run be- tween New York and San Francisco via the straits of Magellan. One of the ves- sels 1s now in this port, and it is said that | Frank 8. Johnson of the Johnson-Locke Company has secured two more in New York. The steamer here and one of the vessels now in the East will load simultaneously, and it will be a trial of speed between them from port to port. It is expected that the new line will make almost as good time as the Panama route, and th { saving in cost will be very great. All the | steamers will be good freight-carriers. and there is enough business in sight to keep them going for at least twelve months, The vessel that has been secured on this | side of the continent is the Washtenaw. | 8he is a splendid vessel and very fast. | She arrived here on the 4th inst. with 4200 | tons of coal from Tacoma for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, and made the | round trip in the remarkably smart time | of seven days. Since her arrival and dis- | charge she has been lying in Oakland | Creek awaiting a charter. | Her ime came yesterday when one of | the red-stack company’s boats went across | the bay for her. She was taken to the | Fulton Iron Works, where she will be given a thorough overhauling, after which she will be ready for the fray. When everything is in readiness she will prob- ably dock at Lombard-street wharf and take aboard a cargo of California merchan- dise. Mr. Johnson, wbo is said to have engi- neered the new deal, is expected home from New York to-night. Until his return no one in the company will either affirm or deny the story. It is known to many prominent men on the water front that such a scheme is on foot, and they say that the Washtenaw will be on her way before July is very old, and that a steamer from New York may be expected here early | in September. The old name of “The North American Navigation Company’’ may be used, and ) the Johnson-LockeCompany will be the | agents. | | JACKET We begin at 8 A. M. to.
