AN INSANE SPIRITUALIST. He Burns His Clothes and Wields Revolvers Most Threateningly. OAKLAND, Dec. 24—T. R. Grimwood, formerly a motorman on the Central avenue street rallway line, is believed t be violently insane, and the police have been searching for him all day. Grimwood has been boarding at the Martin residence, on Fortieth street,.near Shattuck avenue. He called there early this morning, armed with two grim-look ing revolvers, and demanded his clothing. His demand was forthwith respected, when he took the clothes and built a bonfire with them on the lawn. Before the police arrived on the scene Grimwood had departed. He stated to the landlady that he would surely use his guns on any one attempting to arrest him and that he did not intend being taken alive. Grimwood has not been seen since, and the polic€ have been instructed by Chief Fletcher to be cautious in handling on apprehending the fellow, whose mental derangement is believed to be due to his p* studies in the mysteries of spirit- Al e Wanted to Die.

Dean Monahan relates an incident which illustrates the absence of small change in the early days of Kansas. In 1868 he went into the Postoffice at Hays City, threw down a quarter and asked for a nostage stamp. ‘Want ‘only one?’ queried the Postmaster. “Only one,” replied the nov- elist, whereupon the Postmaster handed him a stamp and raken in the quarter. “Don’'t I get any change?” demanded | Monahan. “Change, h—I! replied the Government official. ““We have no change | in these parts smaller than a quarter.” And this was strictly true. In Hays City the smallest coin known was the twenty-five cent piece. A glass of beer sold for a quarter, and the same charge was made for a pound of crackers or a cigar. of the town how the saloon and dance hall keepers held an indignation meeting to take action in the case of a 'W man who advertised to sell beer two glasses for a quarter. The meeting resulted in the departure of the innovator for pastures new. As late as 1872 there was a store in Hays City which never gave any change smallér than the twenty-five cent piece. 1f the customer had, say, 15 cents coming, he was at liberty to help himself to a glass of whisky from a barrel which stood in the corner. but he need not ex- ect his dues ournal, in money.—Kansas City m— e McKinley and Reed. President McKinley will not, it is said, countenance any opposition, in his name, to the re-clection of Speaker Reed. This proves_that the President is a discreet man, desirous of nvoidlng unnecessary political quarrels.

ONLY CALLED ON HIS WIFE HIS STEP-DAUGHTER HAS NO AFFECTION FOR HIM. When He Told His Story in Court He Was at Once Released, as No One Appeared to Prosecute. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Dec. 24. C. B, Mertz of 1506 Broadway says his domestic affairs have been broken up and his life made unpleasant through a mem- ber of what is known as the *Jim Rea | push” of San Jose. All last night Mertz languished in the City Prison, and this | morning those who would prosecute him | thought better of it and did not appear | to make complaint, so he was released. Mertz went to call on his wife last nigat, but there has been trouble between them and the woman refused to admit him. Mrs. Mertz said that she was divorced from him and did not want him to call, whereupon he tried to kick in the door. She was greatly terrified, telephoned for lhfi police and her husband was taken to jail. “This is a despicable little plot,” said Mertz, “and is due to the unhngry mar- riage of my stepdaughter to Elmer E. Cottle, an employe of the Cnunt{l Trea Recently this step- daughter was quietly divorced from her husband, and every effort has been made to keep the affair quiet, for what rea- son I can only guess. Mr. and Mrs. Cottle were never friendly toward me, and now that there* has been a divorce in the family they are trying to make it appear that it is I who have been di- vorced. As a matter of fact, I am not divorced and had a perfect right to 1 on my wife. Her apparent hysterics and expressions of fear when 1 went to the door are all imaginary and were merely assumed for a purpose, and I doubt not at the sufigpsxlon of Mrs. Cottle.”" When Mertz was taken before Judge Moore this morning he explained his trou- ble and declared that no one was de- sirous of prosecuting nim, as they did not wish to hear the story he would tell in his own behalf. His view of things evidently correct, for no one appeared and he was released. As he walked out of court he said, “It is all due to that fellow in the San Jose push.” ECONOMY BY MACHINERY. Penny-in-the-Slot Device to Help Those Who Cannot Keep Their Cash. Early next year the man.who has a penny to put by for a rainy day will not find it necessary either to save up a shilling or to walk around to the Penny Bank. He will be able to drop it into a slot lever, he will be provided with a deposit receipt, upon any nu...ber of which he Mr, Alfred J. Faulding of 13 and 14 Abchurch lane, the promoter of the penny-in-the-slot bank, told a Dalily Mail representative yesterday all about his interesting scheme. “I am convinced,” he said, “that there are thousands of people in London alone who would gladly save a little if they only had a convenient means of putting their odd cop ers into secure and profitable keeping. At present, when one considers how large the popu- lation of London is, but comparatively few people think of taking their pen- nies along to the bank, while the num- ber of those who hoard their pence until they have saved sufficient to constitute a savings bank ceppsit is also very small. “Now, what I propose to do is to es- next year a thousand boxes or banks reception of pennies. These boxes or banks will be placed in the streets, at the railway stations, and in factories and schools. The man. woman, or child who has a penny to spare and wishes to save it will drop the coin through a slot, move a lever, and take the receipt, which will be presented at the bottom of the appa- ratus. These receipts may Dbe taken around to the penny-in-the-slot bank and left on deposit, or, of course, they may be realized upon at any time. The company will pay 2% per cent in- terest, and the scheme of working will be the same as in older banking insti- tutions. “We are making elaborate prepara- tions,” continued Mr. Faulding, “to meet the enterprise of the bogus-coin depositor, and by the time the boxes are out we shall be quite ready for him. The boxes, or banks, will be so constructed that the pennies will fall into a perpendicular tube. By that means we shall be In a position to find out by counting from the bottom just how many pennies had been dropped before the spurious coin arrived. Then. as the receipts will be numbered suc- cessively, we shall, having before us the number of the box and the date of the déposit, be in a position to interview the holder of the receipt when he or she puts in an appearance at the bank. “In the case of depositors who might desire us to invest their money, they would have the right to nominate the stock, and the investment would be made, the depositor giving us a com- plete quittance. Say we had £1000 for investment in a particular stock on be- half of a number of depositors. In that case we should issue fractional certifi- cates and hold the stock in the names of the trustees. “If, on the other hand, depositors should desire us to pay each £1 as it arrived into another bank, we should be willing to do so. I believe that the penny-in-the-slot bank will be a suc- cess for the promoters and a boon to the great want-to-save-a-bit section of the public. “If the penny bank proves profitable, it will be followed by sixpenny and shilling machines.

THE BIBBY - BAKER NUPTIALS THE FAIR ORGANIST NEEDED AN ESCORT. No Action of a Church Board Ever Resultcd as Happily as the . Appointment of Mr, Bibby. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 908 Broadway, Dec. 24. John William Bibby of East Oakland was married this evening to Miss Mary Baker of Fruitvale. This wedding is the sequel to an incident that aroused much comment a few years ago. Miss Baker was the organist of the Tenth-avenue Baptist Church. Her broth- er is George D. Baker, who at that time was State president of the A. P. A. Miss Baker was being considerably annoyed by an infatuated clerk from San Francisco. He sought every means to meet the young organist and even when she went to the | church to practice her unwelcome aa- mirer would intercept her. After bear- ing this annoyance for some time Miss Baker complained to her brother of her tormentor and a thrashing followed. This, however, did not entirely prevent the or- ganist from being annoyed. She com- plained to the church board and that body took the matter in hand. The church board, after a consultation, vpmmed, or perhaps suggested, that iss Baker should be escorted from her home to the church so long as there was any danger of her being annoyed. Wil- liam Bibby, a member of the church, was appointed as her escort, and how faithfully he fulfilled his duty is perhaps best shown by the marriage license issued this afternoon. Three years have passed since Mr. Bib- by was commissioned to his pleasant task and thelr friends are saying jocularly, but with some degree of truth, that the mar- riage is the happy result of a match made and approved by the church. SHE WHIPPED A BULL. A Passing Young Woman Stopsat a Farmyard and Saves a Man’s Life. That Miss Sallie Reifenrath is made of the stuff which constitutes heroines was very plainly demonstrated by a thrilling incident in which she figured conspicuously yesterday. Edward Able is an athletic young farmhand in the employ of Theodore Tinsman, near Bloomsbury, and several times he has had encounters with a flery young bull which seemed to have a specilal grudge against him. Able managed to come out ahead in these scrimmages, for he is a courageous fel- low. Nevertheless, he kept a sharp eve on ‘the beast, which seemed to watch him, too. Able had almost forgotten his enemy while busy about the barnyard yester- day, but the bull's memory was not so bad, for as the farmhand passed’ him with his back turned the bull was upon him in a twinkling. With a low bel- low and eyes ablaze the brute caught Able and threw him high in the air. As the young man came down the bull was at_him again, and with flerce energy threw him violently against the wheel of a wagon. Able’s stomach struck against the hub and he became uncon- scious. . At that instant Miss Reifenrath hap- pened along the road, saw the farm- hand’s peril and acted instantly. She hurried to the barn, got a pitchfork and sprang to the rescue. The bull had backed off for another charge upon the helpless young man, but as he moved forward with lowered head he suddenly encountered the sharp tines of the pitchfork in the hands of the plucky young woman. It was a case of beauty and the beast, and for a brief space it was a question whether the beast would not win the battle and score two lives to his credit. Miss Relfenrath followed up the bull’s hesitation by vigorous prods with the fork, and slowly drove him back into the barn, where he was secured. Then the young heroine summoned help, and the unconscious farmhand was carried into the house. Doctors were called, and they found that, besides a broken collarbone, Able was badly cut and bruised from head to foot. They think he will recover, however. Miss Reifenrath did not seem to re- gard her heroic act as anything out of the ordinary, and went on her way un- concerned.—Philadelphia Record. —_—————— Benevolence in Animals. We have seen a small pig stuck in a paling through which it had tried to squeeze, assisted by an elder one inside, Attracted by its cries it took the small ig's head in its mouth and tried to pull P through, in doing which it almost pulled the sufferer’s h off. In another case a cat deliberately fetched its owner to as- sist another cat which was lying helpless in/a fit. Moreover, domesticated animals are to some extent ‘“progressive,” and have realized the notion of common good a.mo:{:g other creatures than their own stock. There is a good deal of service and be- nevolence among very different domesti- cated animals, especially in the form of protection, sharing of food and forbear- ance. Specialized instances in which dogs or cats have taken food to others could doubtless be authenticated, though the writer has not witnessed a case. But there is the strongest of all evidence that they have a tendency to perform these and other services to other animals, be- cause the domesticated creatures volun- tarily offer these services of benevolence to man, How can one doubt that an- imals (in domestication) are willing to feed each other when there are cats all over England and Scotland which delight in bringing food as presents to their own- ers? We need not go back to the historic cat which caught a pigeon every day and brought it to its master when a prisoner in the Tower.—The Spectator. e g s Bandits in Porto Rico. , - Prompt action by the American com- manders is reported to have had a dis- couraging effect on the bandit industry in Porto Rico. e American_soldiers sent out to hunt down the law-breakers have violated every tradition of the js- land.
