It was seen that he spent large amounts of money in lavish entertainment of friends of both sexes, but as he was get- | ting paid beyond the income of the aver- | ge salesman it was supposed that h ay came from a lezitimate source. alas for the continuance of this silent copartnership, the green-eyed monster made its appeara among his fellow- clerks wiio were compelled to gnaw their hearts out in bitter envy because the more favored salesman’s blandishments at-| tracted to bim the hosts of the fair sex | who either desired to purchase sheet | music because of their love of the con- | cordance of sweet sounds or their pleas- ures in the company of the accomplished aspirant to Rialto fame and society leac- ership. ce It was this that brought about the| young man’s undoing, for one envious | confrere behind the countor just gave the suspicion of a hint to the proprietors of not well with the | cash turned in by the favorite salesman. A walch was set and it was learned with grief that the returns were inadequate to | the amount of goods that went out of the | store. | How long the vartnership had contin- ued and how much the silent member ot | the firm had received could not be told, | but in order to bring matters io a focus it was determined to call 1n the aid of the | astute mer of the city’s detective | force, and to this end a visit was paid to | Chief Lees, who detailed De and Sienograpker Heynemann, who at | s leaves the grind of the typewrit relaxation in the line of Hawkshaw , to see what they couli discover that | wrong. | lady friends made their appearance in the store, and it was found that while they vaid fuli rates for all the bought, the cash drawer received but a portion of the amount.

Tbe return to thecash drawer was sgain short, nd the minions of the law held a short ion with the indignant voung man, who loudy protested against the outrage of arrest and search. Ne inusic se The search was made, however, and in his pockts was found the balance of the | marked coin, and then indignation gave way to regret and a full confession was made—at least the young man said it was fuil; but he admitted to the sequestration of but $50 aund offered to muake full and | complete restitution. There was a discrepancy between the money taken as confessed by Eilis and as believed to have been taken the firm.

They, too, were slow. and just as the firm had lost patience and was about to take decisive measures there was a dis- appearance, and it was learned that the Mikado would soon entertain a stranger in his kingdom. With the departure more facts came out, and it was learned that in addition to the sums of money taken quantities of music that now adorn the pianos of the tendericin districts was never paid for at all, but was presented by Eilis to bis fa- vorites in those sections of the city. But as there were reasons for suppress- ing the peculation when the young man was still in the city, so are there reasons why it should be hushed up after his de- parture, and the firm took its loss to its own bosom and the world was to be kent in the dark about the whoie affair. But the sudden departure and the mystery surrounding the enforced vacation the interested parties to the transaction. One of the members of the firm of Sher- man, Clay & Co. was seen last evening relative to the embezzlements of his clerk. It was with the greatest reticence that he wculd discuss the matter at all. In the first place he declared the total sum of money the young fellow had stolen was a mere trifle, and tha® the firm had not even asked the family to make the loss good, and he declared that it was a shame that the trouble should leak out, taereby plac- ing the brand ot a criminal upon the salesman. The gentleman said that the amount of the peculations had been exag- gerated, and added that it was not worth talking about. Inthe interview the facts were revealed that young Ellis bad been in the employ of Sherman, Clay & Co. for something like a year, and that nis salary amounted to about from $80 to $1€0 a month.

Butin spite of the glare and the flurry and he new ruler, society these days is divided. There are those who know Howard Adams, and there are those who do not. Scholars who make & study of the infinitesi- mal distinctions that divide the smert set from just plain society maintain that if one wishes to decide the exact standing of a per- son of either sex the following test is indis- putable. The varty to the problem has but to submit to one interrogation, “Do you know Howard Adams If the aftirmative reply come with raging spontatueity, then one may safely s or her name to the list marked Butif, on the contrary, the query in icy tone with accompanying gestures, suggestive of Christmasat ine ctic, tabulate his or her name in the column oted to the “Smart Set.”” ealmost worthy of not anobler but a greater cause the fest was suc- cessiully applied.

Mrs. Keilogg was arrested at the ir- stance of her husband, who is at present confined by disease in St. Luke's Hospi- tal. Why he filed the information against her she nor none of her friends can tell, but these facts will come to light during her examination before the Commission- ers of lusanity. This 1s the second time Mrs. Kellozg has been charged with insanity by her husband. On February 17, 1888, she was adjudged insane and was sentto the Napa Asylum for tieatment.

He is a little chap. His pale, insignificant face is lit up by a pair of smoldering dark eyes that veer from under dark brows. His straight, black hair stered willy-boy fashion on flat head, is pl the narrow During the day dress is as unlike unlike the when he dances not his a society leader's as he is picturesque personification of a matinee girl's bean ideal. A deep red sweater incases his mauly form and falis far beneath his waistcoat in the full ruffies suggestive of the fashionable blouses from the home of the White Czar. Checked trousers clothe the agile iimbs and a navy blua diagonal coat and vest complete the fetching costume. The new leader is a confiding little chap, After & dancing-school hour he took the in- terviewer into his confidencs “I'm frightfuily sensitive,” he declared. “Please quote me correctly.” Adams traces all his greatness to the marvels he has accom- plished for his Saturday nightclass. “Three vears ago we had but 400 members, and now we number 600.” he said. The incongruity of the acceptea 400and 600 members to & fashionablé class is glibly ex- plained by Adams. “Money can’t buy in my class,” he emphatically declared. “Character is the thing. If your character can pass the commitiee you may euter; otherwise amount of goid can purckase no the covetea right. Herman Powers, Donald Smith, Jack Twed- dule and myself constitute the admission committee. I have retained for myself, as cbiel exccutive, unusuai privileges.

Poor, pretty bud; she is quite the daintiest of them all. But she made a great mistake. She did not apply to me for membership to the Saturday Nights and the committee blackballed her.

I've grown up witn this hall.

In the meantime he comes down every afiernoon to Lunt's Hall and out of pure good-nature sirums dance music 50 his girl friends can have a dance. ““They like dancing so much,” he naively ex- plains. The new leader composes all his own music and lies awake nights thinking out new cotillon fizures. With pardonable pr.de he explains how on Saturday night Iast ali the chaperons applauded and how he was genu- inely pleased, although he expected the greet- ing and felt he certainly deserved it. Accord- ing to Howard Adams Miss Agnes Simpson &nd Miss Ethel Dickson are to be the belles of this season. It was with no litile trepidation that the man whose friends toid him he was & leader prociaimed this fact. “For [admire all girls,” he sententiously explained, “all girls are pretty, but some are prettier than others.” 5 Iy W f ey [} Ab] “Snr rle ¢ the very beginning of his reign Adams | tained in the Receiving | | Was Taken by Deputy Manifests No Signs of Derangement. 2 | Mre.

Since Mrs. | Kellogg leit the French Hospita! she has i not seen her husband, and in consequence is ata loss to know how he reached the conclusion that she wasinsane and had her arrested on that charge, Mrs. Kellogg was extremely rational in the hospital last evening and manifested no signs of mental derangement. She was nervous over her arrest, but took 1t philosophically, saying that she would ow have an opportunity to right the in- ju-tice done her by her husbhand when he was instrumental in sending her to the | madhouse in 1838, She is very pitter against him, and at- tributes all her d ficulties to his idiosyn- crasies.

Rines, a carpenter living in the Potrero, armed himsell with two | day night, and started out with nodefinite | purpose in mind. | Shortly after 10 o’clock he passed Mrs. Anna Wood, 132 Sixth street, her husband and two sisters, who were talking on Howard street, near Harriet. He looked fixedly at them but did not say a word. | He returned in a few minutes and walk ing up to them said in a jovial tone: | “Hello, sissies!” \ Wood angrily told him to go about his usiness and not annoy them. Rines bad his hands in his overcoat ockets, and as Wocd finished speaking, | he pulled out a revolver with each hand, and presenting them at the quartet said: “I'il show you what my business is. I | bave got you at last, and you wiil have to come along with me.” The quartet scat tered in different direc- | tions. Mrs. Wood's sisters ran into a doorway, Wood foillowed them, while Mrs. Wood ran across to the corner of Sixth street, where Policeman Conlin was standing. She hurriedly told Conlin what had happened and pointed across tue street to Conlin crossed the street, and when Rines saw him he walked round the corner of Harriet street and then started to run. Conlin chased him all the time, wondering when he would turn | round and take a shot at him. After running a vlock and a half Cou- lin made a sudden rush on tiptoe and struck Rines a resounding whack on the back with his club that sent him up against a fence, dazing him. Conlin quickly relieved him of the two revolvers and clapped the handeuffs over bis wrists. Rines was charged with assanlt with a deadly weavon and carrying concealed weapons and spent the nignt in the City Prison. Yesterday morning he appeared in Judge Campbell’s court presenting a crestfallen look. Mrs. Wood was present with one of her sisters and she swore to a complaint charging Rines with assault with a deadly weapon. She has not yet got over the scare. Tne defendant declined to give any reason for his conduct, but said he would explair everything to-morrow and the case was continued tiil then. He ad- mitted that he d:d not know Mrs. Wood and had never seen her or her sisters prior to Monday night. James P. Rines, coutractor, Potrero, the young man's father, got him released on bonds. He :aid his son had recently lost a good job and since then he had been drinking heavily and was scarcely responsible for his actions. Monday night when his son took the revolvers, one of which belonged to him, he asked him what be intended doing, and he said he was going outside to fire them off. - Iospectors Mean Business. Dockery, with his many tities, and faot- racer sdded, was out again last night un- til the ‘‘wee sma’’* hours c.asing milk- peddlers. He was ably assisted by Chief Meat Inspector Davis and Mr. Gibney. Nineteen dairymen were hauled up and questioned, besides having their milk tested. Much of the cow product was dumped into the gutters, but some was tound so bad that it was carried to the city dumps, where Dockery recently reigned supreme. It was discovered that the “stuff” would burn, so it was decided that there was no water in it, and the question is agita:- ingthe Board of Health, What was it? The Board of Healih evidently means business, for the permits of H. Lhttman, K. Marble and J. J. Townes will be re- voked on the strength of tne tests made | by Dockery and assistants last evening. Without doubt the milkmen will again app-eciate the fact that Dockery is still on deck, and the public will receive good milk for a while, at least until the garbage question again comes up, and then it is only natural that the man of uniform and titles wiil be called eisewhere. Then all will again drink what is thought by the milkmen to be the best for them. Where will it all end? is the question asked by the general public, but ockery smiles and says, “Watch me.” = e it WE bave just purchased for our leather goods depariment a large lot of Mexican ceryed leather novelties—beits, pockeibooks and chateiaine bags.

Slight Fear That All Followersj of Spiritualism Were to | Be Confined. The confinement of theosophical and | spiritual Mrs. Lillian Wimble to an in- sane asvlum has caused a great deal of alarm among the foliowers of the spiritual- | istic belief. It may ke stated that the | lady was sent to be confined by the mem- | bers o: her own family, yet that does not seem to stay their fear. Itis claimed by | her friends that she was committed be- | cause she showed symptcms of spiritual inspiration, and that thousands of people, | including Confucius, might have been | confined on the same grounds. A movement isnow on footto secure the instant release of Mrs. Wimble but it is thought she will remain in her present quarters until the physicians thinks she is prepared to act in a sane manner while on the outside of the walls. It is not claimed that spiritualism is the cause of her derangement, but that natural causes slightiy assisted by attention to spiritual meetings have caused her present trouble. At the Oakland Psychical Socieiv last evening ber cass was made a special fea- ture and wailings loud and long flitted out upon the night air. Mada m Montague was the speaker and askea tnuu the com- munity be awakened to a sense of its re- sponsibility upon a question of justice. A long hist of the names of prominent | people was read, and they were compared | with the condition of Mrs. Wimble; | among them were Pericles and Socrates, Buddha and Confucius.
