Her Experiences of the Pas Few Years Portrayed in Her Own Words CAMPED ON MOUNTAIN HEIGHTS ALON Two-Sided Lives cf Some Men She Has Met in Metroro Itan Clubrooms. = STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 26 —For a month past one of the arks on McLeods Lake in this city bas been the abiding place of one of the sirangest characters that the local author.ties have ever had to deal with. For some time it was known 1o them that there was a woman living in Stockton in the garbofam t try as they wou!d to locate her their efforts were without avail until ¥ ht, when, as has been heretofore described in THE CaryL, Police Detectives Carroll and Klech overtook Miss Bean masquerading in male attire wi on her way to church to listen to the music. Music this modern Rosa- lind is passionately fond of, and she will go miles to hear anytbing in the musical line. The story of her experience with the cflicers L already been reiated. To them she told very little of her past, but to THE CALL correspondent last night Miss Bean chatied on paper for hov She has not the power of sreech, bu: her hearlug is keen. The police were of the opinion that she was shammin: dumoness, but they are now convinced that the erratic young woman cannot talk. When the in- terviewer intimated that he believed she could tals if she wanted to Miss Bean burst into tears and deciared paver that her loss of speech w n aflliction so keenly felt by her that it wrenched her lheart whenever touched upon. “Babe'’ .Bean, as she calls herself, that she was nearly 20 years old that when but 15 she married a man did not treat her as he siquld, and after a tew months of married life she was s p- arated from him, to drift about the world in the garb of a man. Last night she wrote the following for THE CaLL, and while writing the tears welled up 1n the eves of the pretty girl ana the deep red lips trembled when the writing of some portions of her history recalled incidents of her early life.

From' a tomboy full of ami- bitions I was made into & _sad and thoughtful woman. From that time I grew heartless. I wanted to be out in the airalways. A desire for liberty and freedom took such'a hold upon me that mc nighi, when all were asleep, I would get up and wander about in our imme- diate grounds ns if in search of something I could not teil what, Shortly after tnis I commenced to grow re- beilious—took interest iu nothing save in lis- tening to some caller telling ot the wonders of tae world.

Nothing but & conven: could save me, thonght my mother, and there I re- mained. How I yearned for the irecdom I who | R AN LU .\\\\\\\ \\k\ NN N MISS “BABE” BEAN at the Purap Which Supplies the Arks on McLzods Lake | had dreamed of and how often T wished 1 con'd enjoy the libertv that the wor d sees fit 1o allow wboy!

What joy, to again bs away from all siudy and work and no piay, What plans I haa mapped out for seeing my brother and riend. The day came when I s2w the false friend without the brother. —the friend—was about to go abroad. The cam of my life again awakened with'a vim worthy of a better cause. Wes I doomed to always hear of penple who could travel and go | about the worid? Was I never 1o have my at wish gratiied ? “No,” came the answer ys. ““how can you?

We iraveled some six or eight months, and the separated. What I have snfiered for thatact no one can ever know. Shorily afterward my brother was takeun ill and be, too, died. 1 had seen him but once. With this last blow mother retired, to lead as quiet a life as could be off sred, in a'place away from former scenes of both bright and dark days. She made some | provision for me, and [ wagthen quite alone. From that moment I have beea like driftwond, tossed upon the sea of life. Butin no other wav couid I have been contented. My greatsst misforiune then befe!ll me, and | when able t0 go about sgain I a ways did so, when I could in the guise of a boy.

I had gone | from S1n Jose to Alma—a piace consisting of a handful of houses—and thence footea fit, camping all tha way, twenty miles into the Sania Cruz Mountains. The scenery I can | haraly describe, butit svemed to me like some | grand painting. The night before I reached | my destination, Bights Way, I remained iu a | deserted woodcaopper’s cabin over night. With my inseparable companion, a revolver, I | laid down to rest, with the only thought of | being abie to reach some brook or streamiet | in some sheitered spot that I might induige in the luxury of 8 bath. To these thoughts I at- | tribute a dream that seemed like & prophecy. 1 thought I was standing on the brink of some dark abyss, when I beaeld on the other side the most inviting and pretty miniature | waterfalls with a stream some seven or ten | feet below, Lut how was I to reach this? I | certatuly could not cross this awful black | space. While musing tnus I seemed by sowme | unkoown power to be taken to the spot oppo- | site. For a moment I was almost blinded by the sudden change from darkness into light, but soon recovered sufficiently to notice that I had yet another stream to eross. On.looking l cioser Isaw it was the same one I had noticed a few feet below the falls. Now my dilemma was, how could I reach the falis? What was that I noticed! It looked like a zold bracelet—such as we sce encircling the wrists of women in pictures belonging 1o the midale ages. Well, this must have been the | favorite spot of same fair bather. 1 will try | to reach it, and perchance I might meet with | the one wuo lost the band ; and how glad she | must be, I thought to myself, upon having it restored to her.

The morning was beautiful and all should have made one happy in the thought of belug in such gorgeous surroundings, put I felt de- pressad as though something was going to bapp:n. I'could not shake this fieling off, and after ston fruit and milk, that I me, I wended my w ther up the meuntain. On reaching to mit I stood as one transfixed, for bek: there was the very stream I had been unable 10 cross in my dream! I stood looking down | with mwe into its depths as I beteld the very Eracelet I had dreamed of. Wno can say tnat the hard of fate was uot in this? ; I threw my baggage across (o the other side, intending to jump over. But I was spell- bound, as I seeined 10 know for the first lime in my life wnat fear was. Surely I could not | yet be awake, but a'l showed me plainly that 1 was very much that way. A hurried glance through my dressing-case brought outa look- ing-glnss. Well, will Iever forget the expres- sion face. 1was trembling like a leaf, seareiy d.Ting to move, With a superouman effort I determined to galu the bracelet at all nazards. I used my fishing-pole, which I bad kept with me, a3 & staff nnd touched the golden circlet. It | seemed even more baautiful in reality thaa it did in my dreams. 1 caughtitin such a way thatit seemed safe to draw up the pole. Idid s0 and to my utter amaz:ment and tiorror I found it 1o be's snake in the mouth of & water dog.

One of about the same time occurred between Colfax | and Auburn. 1 had camped out lor seven | | weeks—one of my most pieesant tripi—and | was_close to a viace I thought occupied by good law-abiding woodchoppers.

As » natural outcome of my roaming I have been thrown much in the company of men in all walks ot life. I once attendea rome “jinks” where men who were accustomed to finvier and pay pretty iributes to their lady | scquaintances took advantige of their exclu- | sion to make fun of the ladies and in the { most ungentiemanly manner critic.z: some | one of their failiugs. These socictly beiles | were undergoing the most humiiiating criti- cisms and still were not aware of it. 1 went with one Mr. Myer formerly of Myers & Co., | tobacco importers of St. Louis, Mo. I veuture | | to give his name, though as he has since | passed away, thinking some one of those pres- | ent may recall the affair, which took place on Christmas eve in 1892, I must here contess that, no matter where I have been, I have .aet with good and noble men—the kind you read about. The world is full of tnem, as it is with pure and noble women; but ihile the world goes on we shall hear more of evil than of good. So it will be 1n the case of good men and women; they will not be mentioned while a morsel of tempting scandal is left to serve the ever eager throng of people we call mankind. Were the good ceeds of our true men and women more freely discussed, both around the family circle and by the press, the appetite and craving for what is vulgar, coarse and seusational would soon die ont, or at least become diminished. In a few days Miss Bean will be speed- ing across the continent in search of other scenes, for she much dislikes the notoriety her discovery has brougnt about. The Dem i@ aie Lallway.

The first to enter the building were ithe Veterans, headed by their band and under the command of President Joseph Marshall and Vice- President Bunner. Karly in the day the Veterans sent up their old engine, bur- vle of the firemen’s art, and it was placed in a | conspicuous position near the bandstand. Tins served as a rallying point for ail the firemen in the Pavilion, and a practi- cal exhibition of its workings was given by the firemen. At its conclusion Gustay Pohlmann stood on the machine and sang a song entitied the “Veteran Firemen,” all the members of the company joining in the chorus. Just as he concluded the Exempt Fire- men, with Presiaent George T. Bouen and Vice-President A. J. Jessup at their head, marched in and around the Pavilion. They later gathered around the engine and cheered each other. The old boys were in for a night of fun, and they man- aged to extract it in a very plentiful de- gree on the slightest occasion. They were accompanied by many ladies and made quite a striking appearance in their red shirts and gray coats and fire hats. ' The principal event of the evening to- night will be the grand fantasie, “The Bautle of Gettysburg.” The pupiis of the Denman and Rincon grammar, Hawthorne, Monroe, Moulder and Ocean House primary schools wiil at- tend the fair this afternoon.

The still was concealed in a tun- nelrunning into the mountain and was in complete working order when found, D e—— A CHANGE OF PLANS The Citizens’ Colonization Com= mittee About to Purchase Its Land, The Work Is Steadily Going Forward and Quantities of Supplies Have Been Secured. The work of the citizens’ colonization committee has been somewhat at a stana- still during the past week, causel by the change of the proposed lands upon which to locate the colony. The land kzown as the Sobranos estate was offered by Claus Spreckels with the understand- ing that it was to be plowed auring the month of August, but it was found im- possible to do so, as there has been so much detail work in the organizng of the va- rious committees to raise funds and sup- plies. Hence the commirtee informed Mr. Spreckels that it would be impossible for them to take that particular piece of land at the time stated. The committee waited wupon Mr. Spreckels and had several conferences with him, seeking his advice as to what would be the right course to take under the circumstancss, and Mr. Spreckels, who is greatly interested in the enterprise, offered 1o buy another piece of jand in the vicinity if satisfactory terms could be made. This picc: of land, which com- prises 2000 acres, cannot be secured for the present, as the owner, who lived in Spain, died a few weeks ago and it is now in the hands of the administrators. Hence the committee has taken under consideration C. 7. Romie’s land, near Soledad, which is adjicent to the Sobrancs estate, sep- arated only by a mission ranch. It is exactiy the same kind of soil as the So- branos ranch, and Mr. Romie, who is one of the committee, has offered to sell it for $50 an acre and will give the Salva- tion Army and the colonists ten years in which to pay for it, charging but 3 per cent interest. There is in the neighborhood of 500 acres in M- Romie’s land, and the advan- ta.es of irrigaiion are much greater, as there is one of the largest irrigation pumps in the Stale within stone’s throw of this land, known as the irrigation plant. There are twenty-six acres of fruit trees, which are literaily loaded at the present time. Mr. Romie has signed an agreement to the above, giving the committee sixiy days’ option on this agreement, which wiil give ample time to raise the neces- sary funds. Mr. Romie will arrive in the City to-day and have a conference with the committee Saturday morning. The report oi the sunply and finance committee is very favorable. Nearly all the lumber and all the windmills have been promised, to be paid for on time, while the finance committee reports promises of eeveral thousand dollars, among which Mr. Epreckels has led oif with a handsome subscription. Next week the committee proposes to begin to work and publish the amounts as they are received, so that when Commander Booth-Tucker arrives, about the middle of September, the colony can be properly inaugurated and all the legal arrange ments completed Treasurer Widb:r Took Funds Out of His Own Pocke!. the Missing Thereason why the shortage of Witliam J. Heaney, cashier of the fee department of the Treasurer’s office, did not come to public notice sooner came to light vester- day. It appears that when the discovery was made that all the money which should havs been in the treasury was not there, a few of his friends began to tcurry around to see what could be done to remedy the matter and save the young man and his newiy wedded wife from the disgrace of exposure. Edwara W. Williams, clerk of the Justice Court and oneoi Heany's stanch- est friends, went to a number of relatives of means and induced them to agree to guarantee the amount of the shortage in case the Treasurer would accept the funds and not cause the arrest of his cashier. Mr. Widber seems to have been willing to let the matter drop if he was saved from pecuniary loss and on the guarantee of Williams’ friends and relatives he put the amount of the shortage into the treasury out of his own pocket. 3 The intention was to get Heany a posi- tion where he chuld gradually save the money to repay his friends and where the facts of his hortaze weuld not be k It takes nerve to face an enraged bull and flaunt in his face the color that he hates. It is a foolish and reckless thing for any man to do, but thousands upon thousands of men and women are daily facing a peril before which the bull fighter’s danger fades into insignificance, The bull fighter is armed, trained, and fully prepared for his battle. The thousands who stand face to face with that dread and insidious foe; consumption, are but illy equipped for the struggle. The ‘man or woman who would successfully with- stand the inroads of the deadly germs of consumption needs to have arteries bound- ing with the rich, red, life-giving blood of health. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery is without an equal as a blood- maker and flesh - builder. - It cleanses and strengthens the lungs and cures 98 per cent. of all cases of consumption. Miss Lucy Kloeffler, of Armada, Mich., writes : “When T was about cight years of age I had in. flammation of the lungs, and from that time up T was sick nearly all the time and had a docter nearly all the time. Iwould take cold so easily it would go right to my lungs. At the age of nire- teen I was very bad; there was pain in my lungs, tickling in my throat and my throat was studded with ulcers; there was hoarseness and partial sup- Sr:sulon of voice, and difficulty of breathing. I loctored with one of our best physicians and he said he could not help me and just prescribed cod Liver oil and told my mother I could not live longer than three months. I kept getting weaker every day, when at last a friend n!ficd me why I did not try Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery. I thought there was no use, no more help for me as consumption was in our family. My father and also my sister died with but afler taking the first bottle I seemed to fee! better. My appetite was better and I kept right on taking it, with a bottle of the ‘ Pellets’ once in a while, until I felt real well. Before taking it, I weighed one hun- dred and ten pounds, after taking it, one hundred and thirty.

The Genial Olympic Instructor Comes In for an English Inheritance. Professor Walter Watson, the genial in structor of the O.ympic Club, was the re- cipient of many congratulations from his numerous friends in and about the clu}r rooms yesterday. The rejoicing was ip consequence of the professor having re- ceived a cablegram from his London law yer to the effect that the Lord Chancellor had rendered a decision in his favor,which will pat him in the possession of quite a handsome sum of money. The dispaich did not state tne amount, but it is suffi- cient 1o make the profossor feel as it he had struck a little Klondike pccket al home. The litigation, he was informed, grew out of a contest over the estate of his father, who died about one year ago, leav- ing considerable property to be divided among his children, share and share alike. This division did not please one of hi sons who was in Canada at the time of bis father’s death, and as a consequence he contested the will in the English courts. He lost the contest, much to the joy of the other heirs, including the professor. A trip to old England next spring is now on Professor Watson’s timecard ———— The Dogs Are Matched.
