10 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY FEBRUARY 28, 1898. A BIG BILL THAT DWINDLED Judge Campbell’s Ready Signature to a Treas- ury Demand. Indorsed as Correct Bills for Two Amounts for the Same Service. Fat Jobs of Court Stenographers Who Have Free Access to the City’s Vaults. Police Judge Campbell and his sten- ographer, Howard Vernon, may be asked by the Grand Jury to explain the enormous fees charged for the transcription of the evidence of preliminary examination of the Figel case. The stenographer’s bill was, for six days’ attendance in court at $10 a day, and 22,553 follos of transcript at 15 cents a follo and 2200 additional folios at 10 cents, making a total charge of $3662 95. That bill was paid on an order of Police Court 1 and in- dorsed as correct by Judge Campbell. The money was drawn direct from the treasury on the order, without the serutiny of any of the officials who guard the city vaults, as to its correct- ness. The bill might have been a cor- rect one, but no one but the stenog- | rapher knows whether it was or not. Suspicion was first directed toward the bill when an order was presented to the Treasurer for the transcript of the testimony in the Figel case two days after the case was closed in the Police the | DAKOTA WAS A SURPRISE The “Crack” Eastern Dog | Disappointed the Crowd at Ingleside. Mystic Maid Ran a Clever Course, Lowering the Colors of Nellie B. | The Great Ambition of Widow Bro- phy of Fresno Created a Small Sensation. Although the rain poured down in torrents at Ingleside Coursing Park yesterday morning a large crowd was present when the clouds cleared away | and allowed the game called coursing to open. Unusually strong hares and | ambitious dogs participated, and not- | withstanding the dampness of the early part of the day not a disappoint- ed spectator was among the many. | Two Eastern dogs, Dakota and Mys- | tic Maid. for the first time in the com- | bat of a course on this coast were | slipped yesterday, and although the | | former proved a surprise in lacking | | qualities, the latter, a dainty, spunky‘ hound, manifested the fact by her per- formance that when she becomes ac- climated only the best performers can be safely pitted against her. Dakota was up against Magnet in the run down, but there he died. Speed was lacking as well as cleverness, and it Is safe to say that Dakota will not run agin for some time, at least not until | his lungs become accustomed to West- | the runs for the three purses which had been hung up. Although the hounds ran well and the hares were exceptionally good, much . dissatisfac- tion was expressed at the work done by Slipper R. L. Taylor, and the decision rendered by Judge E. J. Bull on the result between Master Jack and O'Grady in the second ties of the Union Park Derby. In the go between Royal Buck and Blackette the slips were carried away by Royal Buck, which ruined his chances, and In other slips the dogs were not started on an even footing. What caused the most trouble, how- ever, was the decision giving the hound O'Grady the course over Master Jack. It seemed for a time as though a free fight would ensue, but fortunately the disturbance was quelled and the sport proceeded. Many hard words passed between a number of spectators and Slip Steward C. C. Griswold from the fact thatthesteward was curt in reply- ing toordinary questions concerning the decision given by the judge. It was claimed by Judge Bull that O'Grady won from the fact that he had led to the hare, which entitled him to four points, but the majority of those pres- ent claimed that Master Jack had been wrongfully decided against. However, taken all in all, the day proved a pleas- ant and exciting one. Next Saturday and Sunday an open stake, with $500 added, $2 50 entry, will be run off. The draw will be held at Pythian Castle Wednesday night. n the John Grace challenge cup Stm- mons & Donahue’s Rusty Gold beat E. V. Sullivan’s Pretender, J. Dean's Conne- mara beat R. L.

PERMANENT ZOO. Building Nearly Complét_ed===0pen to the Public Saturday. - e = FRANK C. BOSTOCK. FRENCH CHURCH PLUNDERED An Unknown Thief Robs the Edifice of Sacred Vases. Three Robberies Committed in the Church in the Past Two Weeks. The Last Pilfering Was Perpetrated on the Eve of a Holy Feast. The French Church on Bush street was desecrated last Friday evening by an unknown thief who stole from the sacred shrine two vases which had been dedicated to the sacred effigy on the St. Joseph altar. This is the third crime of a like nature which has been perpetrated within the church during the past two weeks, nota single traceof the thief having been detected. The first time the sacrilegious ma- rauder began operating his nefarious trade in the edifice was about two weeks ago, when he robbed the Sodal- ity rooms in the basement of the church of all the games and various articles of pastime which Father Du- bois provided for the members dur- ing their social gatherings there. How he gained access to this portion of the building is not definitely known, but it is presumed that he picked the lock of one of the windows on the Stockton-street side of the church, thereby gaining entrance into the So- dality rooms. The robbery was not reported at the time and no mention made of it by the pastor of the church except to the members of the clergy. It was not until the 'disappearance o two vases from the Virgin's altar a few nights later and two more from the altar of St. Joseph the following week (last Friday night) that the clergy con- cluded to take the matter under advise- ment. Who the thief is and what di posal he makes of his plunder is a mys- tery that they are entirely unable to solve. The only possible theory that the priests are able to advance is that the crimes must have been committed dur- ing the mid-day lunch hour or at 6 o’clock, when the church is compara- tively empty, there being few if any worshipers in the church at this time and no priests. Considerable sorrow is expressed by the clergy, as the last theft was com- mitted almost upon the eve of their an- nual celebration c¢f the Forty Hours’ Adoration. ‘When Father Guibert entered the church yesterday morning to solemnize the mass which was to be celebrated in honor of the commencement of the service little did the hundreds and hun- dreds of devout worshipers think that but a few hours before the same shrine where they now offered up their pray- ers was visited and plundered by an outcast who had lost all respect and every vestige of honor and religious respect and fear. All day the devotees assembled before the sacred tabernacle to offer up their devotions for the reward of the prom- ised indulgence for their faithfulness. The ceremony will continue to-day, concluding to-morrow morning with a solemn high mass. —_———— Headache Quickly Cured. Dr. Davis’ Anti-Headache never falls. 25¢.¢ —_———— UNIAO PORTUGUEZA.

All the bills of the stenographers pass to the treasury without being vised as to correctness, and the city has no knowiedge of the number of gold bricks it has purchased by cashing the orders. The judges claim that the bill in- dorsed by them should be paid direct | by the Treasurer without question. They claim that the law gives them that right. Auditor Broderick says there is no such law in existence, and that no test has yet been made of any laws | under which the judges act. Cases gomewhat similar have been carried to the courts, and decisions have been giv- en by the Supreme Court to the effect that the Boards of Supervisors have no right to vise the bills of the judges, but there is silence as to the Auditor's right to judge whether the bills are just or not. According to the law as it is interpreted by the Auditor, that official cannot deny a warrant on an order of the court if it be legal. the court in making an order on the treasury quote the law on which it is based it bars the Auditor (if the law be constitutional) from refusing a war- rant on the treasury. If, however, he should find that the court is imposed upon to the extent that there is a non- delivery of the material or service for which the order is issued, then he would have the ability to notify the court so that a revgcation of the order might be made, It | beat Deegan & Hemingway's Not Much; James Byrne's Silkwood beat B.

The Pugillst Carries His Mouth in a Sling and Says His Partner Bit Him. A man would give all other bliss, And all his worldly worth for this, To waste his whole heart in one kiss Upon her pertect lips. These lines appeal less strongly to “Young Griffo,” the pusgillst, than they did a few days ago. His sense of poetry has been somewhat blunted—and, in- cidentally, he has been compelled to carry his mouth in a sling ever since he tried to carry out the bard’s in- Junction. Because of his gallantry, Griffo yield- ed a kiss to a smitten maiden, and in her ardour she broke away with a piece of his lip, and now Griffo says he was hit too hard by his sparring part- ner. It was lack of money, primarily, that caused the loss of Griffo’s most neces- sary feature. He and a friend wanted a drink, and his friend was broke. Griffo had 20 cents and a friendship for a bartender in the Brighton saljon, and thither he and his friend went. The much-needed beverages had not been prepared when they were Jjoined by a young lady. Dispensing with the formality of an introduction, she an- nounced a consuming thirst, and asked to be included in the Griffo treat. It was hard, but Griffo assured the young lady that his worldly possessions. were all included in the drinks already con- tracted for, and he had not enough to buy her a drink at Lotta’s fountain. It was an unfortunate situation—very unfortunate—but the lady was equal to it. Since Griffo could not buy her a drink, he could give her a Kkiss—and they would be just as good friends as if bound by the tles of John Barley- corn—so would the penniless pugilist make amends in that way—and this was before he had his drink, too. Griffo's gallantry would brook no re- treat—and he leaned toward the thirsty danmsel and—kissed her fair and square as damsel could desire, but for- getting for a moment the Dresden china texture of Griffo’s features, the young lady went too far, and though he got the kiss, Griffo lost the where- withal for future successful efforts. She had bitten off a plece of his face— and Griffo has no face to spare. The too affectionate maiden was hor- rified at what she had done. She of- fered gold until the thirsty Griffo and | a score of friends need never thirst again, but this the pugilist refused. | It was an accident, he said, plainly an accident, and then he revived the maiden with the drink he had pur-| chased for himself. But he had the kiss, and his friends say it doesn’t make so much difference, anyhow. KNIGHTS OF PYTHIAS. Grand Chancellor W. H.
