Epecial Dispatch to The Call SACRAMENTO, June 27.—John Win- ters, the man who stole $287,000 of the Selby Smelting Company's gold two years ago and then confessed and aided the officers in its recovery, chafes under his confinement. He has applied to Gov- ernor Pardee for executive clemency and has been refused. The Governdr this afternoon informed Winters that the Jjudgment of the Superior Court of Con- tra Costa County sending him to Fol- som prison for the crime must stand so far as the executive is concerned. The plea which Winters made to the Governor was a strong one. He said he humbly appealed to him as a Governor and as a man to reduce the sentence to something within reason. Winters pro- tested that the sentence was excessive; that although he had stolen the $287,000 worth of bullien, he had confessed the crime and had aided the officers to se- cure the plunder and restore it to the 2 owners. He said that he had been made promises of leniency by the officers of | the Selby Company and by the detec- tives, but these promises had been dis- regarded by the Superior Court, which imposed on him a sentence of fifteen years. The Governor, in whose hands the application had b days, decided to refuse i Winters pleaded guilty n for several to the charge | of robbery and when he was sentenced pleaded for mercy. At that time Su- perintendent Von Der Ropp of the Selby Company arose and said that he wanted to redeem a promise he made to Winters when he confessed He said he told ‘Winters that one-third of the stock the company was held by employes and that they could ill afford to lose the amount taken. He informed the court that he believed it was on this count that Winters confessed. | The court in imposing sentence set! aside the pleas for mercy, remarking that any man who enter: building for | the purpose of stealing is no better than from the country east ssissippi River, which are received at Grand Army | parters, indicate th organi- c srnia ex- number of Vil campment may even ex- the railway com- s Aligust estir transpor t ex Orders b: 10r passengers. stration a t work per- com- nstant the guidance an of veterans.

One day her in the hall. Two days later she « at my apartment. | ‘I am in an awful pickle,’ she said, ‘and /I am going to ask you to help me out. There are two women downstairs who want some dresses made, but before they give me the order they want to see some amples of my work. With the exception | of my own clothes—and you couid put all | the woman. 1 had | of them in a bandbox—I have nothing to show them. 1 find it awfully hard to drum up trade nere. I haven't had a customer since I moved into this house, and 1 will lose those two women if I can- not make the raise of a few nice gowns to show them. Would you mind letting | me have three or four of yours for a few | minutes? I will return them as soon as | the women go away.’ “The pure nerve of the girl staggered me. ‘But you don't make my gowns,’ I gald, ‘They were made by a dressmaker who runs very fashionable shop.’ “150 1 supposed,’ said my neighbor. “Are they marked with her name?’ * *No, id I, ‘that woman's style is her trademark, and 1 ought not to give another the benefit of 4t.’ “The girl just stood there and looked at me, and the pitiful drooping of her eyes and mouth appealed to me more effectu- atly than any words. The upshot of the | matter was I loaned her five of my new- | est, best gowns. Naturally the callers were delighted with them, and gave the girl a large order for summer clothes. I worried myself sick over the affair. « *What will you do,’ I said, ‘if you turn out poorly made garments? How will you square yourself? “+1 shall not need to square myself,’ she said, confldently. “And she did not need to. Her work, instead of being botchy, as T had expect- ed it to be, was beautiful. All she needed was an introduction, and after she got that, through gowns made by a swell dressmaker, her reputation and a good in- come were easily made”—New York Times. The One Inland Lighthouse. There is at least one lighthouse in the world that is not placed on any mariner's chart. It is away out on the Arizona Desert, and marks the spot where a well supplies pure, fresh water to travelers. It is the only place where water may be had for at least thirty miles in any direc- tion. The “house” consists of a tall cot- tonwood pole, to the top of which a lan- tern is hoisted every night. The light can be scen for miles across the plain in every direetion.—New York Tribune. ALL-WOOL NOVA SCOTIA - SOCKS FOR SAILORS The Good, Old-Fashioned Thick Make Are Still Worn at Sea. On a little placard in the window of an outfitting store down South street, where the ships come in, this appears: 'All-Wool Nova Scotia Socks.” & Nova Scotia is a name applied to a par- ticular kind of socks that, as a matter of fact, is made in the United States and knitted by machines, but that looks, nevertheless, for all the world just like the socks ‘‘that mother used to make,” with knitting needles, in the days before knitting machines had been heard of, thick, woolen socks such as once were far more commonly worn than they are now. Nova Scotia socks are bought by sailor- men, who, sailing in all sorts of latitudes, and abroad in all kinds of weather, want stockings that keep the feet warm. They are made in various grades, the best of them of fine, soft wool, and made with double feet, thick, warm, comfort- able stockings, indeed, selling for as much as half a dollar a pair. So while Jack may not pay as much for his boots and shoes, he does pay, very likely, more for his stockings than does the average citizen ashore. These thick woolen stockings that the sailorman buys are mostly in quiet colors, in grays and browns gnd blues or in mix- tures of some one of these several colors with white. Anybody old enough to re- member such stockings when they were more commonly worn will see some here looking strangely familiar, as, for exam- ple, the socks in clouded effects, knitted of yarn, dyed in stretches of some color alternating with white; as a yarn with a stretch of brown, gray and a stretch. of white, producing the clouded effect when knitted into'a sock. There will be seen in the stock a few reds and red mixtures, but not many, and the dealer says there is little call for such. Some people, he says, have an idea that sailors go in for gaudy things, but it you were to take down, for instance, any box of shirts in the store you would find the pinks and the bright colors al- ways among those that were left, the darker or more sober colors being invari- ably taken first. Ttalian sailors and the men from some other southern countries may prefer bright colored things, but the Americans, the Englishmen, the Swedes and the Nor- wegians go in for things in quiet colors. Hence the colors prevailing among the socks. “But what does a man do," asked the reporter, “‘when he gets a hole in his thick stockings? Suppose he's off Cape Horn, or somewhere, a thousand miles away, where he can’t get anybody to darn them? “Why, he darns them himself,”” sald the dealer. “Every sailorman carries in his kit darning needles and a supply of darn- ing yarn; and when his stockings need darning he darns them. And while they may not all be good darners, there are sailors who can darn stockings as well as anybody living."—New York Sun. EMBROIDERY IN STRAW IS NOW ALL THE RAGE Another Novelty in the Department of Needlework for & omen. Embroidery in straw is a new depart- ment of needlework in which both ama- teurs and business workers are practic- ing. Fancy puffed crowns for the hats of small girls, panels for screens and for workbags, music and paper racks, pho- tograph frames, trinket holders and catchalls for desk and table are among the things turned out. Women who like to be their own mil- liners, and there are many such, get a hat frame made by a designer and apply the straw gimps according to fancy. Very dainty ornaments of straw intermixed with beads and with silk or horsehair pendants are contrived to end oft the corners and give elegance to the hand- made knicknacks. Tinted arabesques and bugles are brought out for this purpose, and also ready finished rosettes and algrettes, ail of straw, but pretty and graceful. Some of the more expensive gimps have the gleam of crystal, yet are as pliant and manageable as a cloth fabric would be. Others have the soft, shaggy appear- ance of a fibrous woolly braiding. Im- ported braids are in’ the intermixed brown, green and terra cotta tints that suggest rug designs, and others are in open work patterns. A young mother lately made a baby hamper out of pretty blue straw, sewn to a web-and-wire foundation and lined with silk of a slightly darker hue. She wrought out a pretty design in crystal white straw for one side panel and con- trived similar ornamentation on the cover. America makes only the simpler pat- terns of fancy straw braids. The best are made abroad, though at the instance of American dealers. The finest is made in Florence and in the German and Swiss towns. Paris dictates what sorts are most wanted and New York originates uses for the same. Since the dyers learned how to color straw in almost as great a vari- ety as wool or silk textures, innovations in the straw trade have been many. The process of preparing most of the raw ma- terial used is long and tedious. In chip, the peelings or shavings got from that part of the tree just under the bark are buried for twelve months before the sap is sufficlently out of them to allow of their being dyed. The peelings of a tree common in Cuba and the West India Isl- ands have to be subjected to the same treatment. Then the crude substance has to be sent to Switzerland to be made into braids. —_—————— Henry Roso, the wealthy Cuban plant- er, who, it is said, gave the greater part of his fortune in aid of the Cuban revo- lutionists, is confined in. the Blooming:- dale asylum for the insane. Mr. Roso's estate, which at one time was in the millions, has dwindled, it is said, to $50,000. Desert Tin Mines. In 1889 a hunter in the northwest of New South Wales wounded a kangaroo. The animal went off through the mulga and the salt bush at a pace too fast for the hunter to follow, and soon was out of ‘ght. The hunter was a bushman, and d not despair. He followed the blood trail, hopeful of a short search and a speedy bag. At one point of the pursuit it may be that the trail grew faint, and necessitated a closer inspection. Anyway, the hunter stooped and picked up a piece of stone. This he examined. The red spot was not on it. It was in it. It was not blood that he saw. It was opal. Such was the beginning of the White Cliffs opal fields.—London Globe. Snow Blindness. According to the statements of a for- mer resident in the Klondyke, the inhabi- tants of that region suffer much from snow blindness. Dark glasses seem to be of no value in the way of prophylaxis. That which afforded the most protection was wooden goggles, the patterns for which were taken from those worn by the Indians. These gvere whittled out of a piece of wood, fitting closely around the eyes, and with no glasses at all; but in the place of glasses were very small openings to see through, the inside being colored black. A projection like the vis- or of a cap extended over them, which was also colored black on the under side to shade the eyes.—Washingto~ Star.
