At the hearing of the crim- inal charge yesterday the defendant told of ill-health, so that he was not le to make any money out of his rea estate business, and said that he was compelled to borrow money to pay his | own expenses. The attorney for his wife, the complaining witness, told the court that when the defendant was in Petaluma he wore diamonds, but when he came to San Francisco he hid his jewels. 3 »unsel for the defendant branded this statement as maliciously false and intimated that the uttere: of it was notorious liar, any way. ‘Where did you get those clothes?" »d the special prosecutor of the de- Hargreaves explained that acquisition antedated the begin- of matrimonial difficuities. eye happened to catch 1ew overcoat left on a chair endant. “Where did vou get 0at?” The defendant admit- ted that it was a recent purchase which cost him $5. “Your Honor,” said the special prosecutor, “this man to buy overcoats for him- keep his has money self, but he says he cannot little girl from going hungry. Why, on his real estate circulars he has the words printed ‘Money to loan. Why doesn’t he Lorrow gome money from himself and give it to his little girl for proper clothing and food?” The argu- ment struck Judge Mogan as conclus- jve and he ordered the father to pungle before Christmas on pain of going to a dungeon cell for the holiday season. Mary Hannon came down Howard street Monday evening in an independ- ent frame of mind. In crescendo tones she declared that she did not care for the laws, the police, the public, the heavens or the earth or the waters that are under the earth. She said she had a job. At the corner of Fourth street the observant gaze of a policeman rest- ed on Mary. He had only been on the force fourteen years, but even to him it was apparent that she had been lap- ping up more liquid incentive to crime than was consistent with the peace and dignity of the city. So he halted Mary in the mmiddle of an apostrophe and gave her a ride in a nice blue wagon. When she appeared before Judge Mo- gan yesterday she had lost in a large measure her spirit of independence, but ghe still maintained that she had a job, and offered several newspaper clippings as documentary evidence of the fact. She said she was a stenographer. Some delver into days that are gone pro- duced from the police records the fact that Mary had formerly served two terms in the County Jail for outbreaks similar to that of Wednesday night, so Judge Mogan sentenced her to another three months in the same resort. Mary now has a job on the square, Julius Isaacs spent Wednesday night in the City Prison on a misdemeanor charge. When he arose in the morning he was pained to discover that a new hat which he had when brought to the prison was missing. It was embarrass- | ing, because it was the only one he had | with him, and nothing is more impair- | |ing to a man’s dignity than to be | obliged to tread the streets without any headgear. He spoke to the jailer, and a thorough search for the hat was | made. It was finally found, tucked snugly away under the waistcoat of Herbert Wood, who had sought the shelter of the prison as a lodger. Both men were before Judge Cabaniss ‘yes- terday. Wood said he had no intention of stealing Tsaacs’ hat. He was merely {introducing a varistion on the old game, ‘“Thimble, thimble, who's got the thimble.” He will sleep for the next fifteen nights in jail, but not as a vol- untary lodger. Joseph McKay, who tried to hide his dentity under the name nof Joseph Murphy, came before Judge Mogan yes- | terday on the charge of malicious mis- | chief. He was accused of having tried [ to batter down the door of a lodging- | house at 256 Minna street, cwned by Mrs. Whitted. Failing in this purpose | he took a club and mashed half a dozen windows. There was no ap- | parent reason for his action, as the landlady did not know him. He told Judge Mogan that he had no recollec- tion of the occurrence and believed he was temporarily deranged. Judge Mo- | gan concluded that a rest cure wouid | do his mind good and will senténce him to-day. Mc y belongs to a4 famous family of crooks and he and his brother are now being held to thes Superior Court on the charge of highway rob- bery. Both of them have been arrested half a dozen times on felony charges, but have managed to escape cenviction. Judge Conlan picked out four dis- reputable looking hobos from among the nks brought up before him yes- terday and sentenced them to six months’ terms in the County Jail. The Judge is a student of criminal char- actepistics and during the winter sea- son he makes it a rule to give long terms to all those coming before him who app likely to be footpads, on the theory that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Edward Smith has spent the last four nights on Market street trying to dis- pose of “phony” rings to pa>destrians. His industry was rewarded by his be- ing arrested for vagrancy. He told Judge Mogan yesterday that he was a miner from Keswick and had reached the city with $40, which he spent. In addition to a debilitated stomach and a throbbing head he secured, in return for his money, the ring whicl: he was accused of trying to barter. He was found guilty of vagrancy and will be given a sentence to-day. William Conley and Edward Terry went out for a ride in ths Ashbury Park-district the other day. They had an empty delivery wagon and appar- ently had no definite idea of what they were going to flll it with. A policeman watched them long and earnestly, but they saw him first and drove along without attempting to securs a cargo. Finally the policeman placed them un- der arrest. Thelr record was looked into and it was discovered that Gon- ley had served a long term at San Quentin for burglary. Both men had been convicted several times of mis- demeanors and served terms in the County Jail. Judge Mogan told them | plainly yesterday that he was satisfied they were thieves and that they took the wagon out to Ashbury Park for the purpose of oarrying away any plunder they might’secure. He instructed the police to ascertain if any depredations had been committed in that section of the city and if there have been any he will give the two prisoners the limit in the County Jail. ——— Jim Jeffries, the heavy-weight cham- pion, is being urged to give Corbett an- other chance at him, the bout to take place at the World's Fair, St. Louis.

The trials were eminently sat- {sfactory in every particular, and bar- ring a little fog the weather was good. Yesterday morning Major Todd, Cap- tain Burgess and Lieutenant Covington superintended the work. The weather was perfect and all conditions were of the most favorable order. All the rapid- firing guns were put into practice, and the results meet the approval of all con- cerned. The next practice will probably take place early in March. Arrangements have been made by the quartermaster’'s department of the army to take from New York and San Francisco all Christmas boxes intended for members of either the army or the navy serving in the Philippine Islands. A transport will sail from New York for Manila about December 20, and the Thomas is scheduled to sail from San Francisco for the Philippines on the 1st of January. Either of thesé boats will take Christinas hoxes free of charge if they are for officers or enlisted men of the army, navy or marine corps. Each box should be vlainly addressed to the individual for whom it is intended, giv- ing his ship if he be in the navy, or his regiment if he be in the army. All boxes should be sent care of the depot quartermaster in either New York or San Francisco, and plainly marked, “Christmas bex: please forward to Phil- ippine Islands.” The Fifteenth Infantry baseball teant crossed bats yesterday afternoon with the Thirteenth. Infantry, the former winning by a score of 6 to 5. The play- ing was good from start to finish, and the excellent work of the visiting team was highly commented upon. Up to the seventh inning the score was 4 to 1 in favor of the Thirteenth Infantry, but in the next two innings the Fifteenth Infantry got in and hatted out enough runs to win by a score of 6 to 5. TEAM DOES GOOD WORK. Beron, the left flelder of the Fifteenth Infantry, in the first of the seventh made long throws from deep left to the home plate. Bennett on third played an errorless game, getting two put-outs on very hard throws. The work of Bankston and Henderson was first class all through. The work of Banks- ton in critical times was all that couid be asked of any one, although the ball was damp at times. Lieutenant Elliott, who {s manager for the team, was so pleased with the work that he took them as his guests to the Alcazar Theater last night to witness the military play, “The Girl I Left Behind Me.” At 10 o'clock this morning the Fif- teenth will play the Tenth Infantry, with Gillesple and Beron as the bat- tery, and in the afternoon at 2 o'clock the great event of the week will be on, when the visitors will cross bats with the crack Presidio post team. Maupin and Dosgle will be the battery for, the Fifteenth. Manager Joe Wagner of the post team says that as both teams are In the best of conditicn he expects.to see a very hot game and probably one of the most exciting that has been seen at the post. He, however, expresses himself as confident that his team will win. The Thirtieth Infantry are now com- fortably settled and thoroughly enjoy- ing themselves. Colonel O'Connell says his regiment is being equipped as fast as possible so as to be prepared for the rigorous winter climate into which they are about'to go. The colonel is having a fine time visiting his old friends and comrades, and at the game yesterday was one of the most enthu- giastic officers on the field. . BAND WILL PLAY TO-DAY.

Owing to the lack of funds and the high price of birds, turkey was not served at the Thanksgiving dinner at the asylum in this year of grace. The patients and the help noted the defi- ciency in the dinner. The comment took on the form of remonstrance and there was a disposition to hold the State ad- ministration responsible for the failure. The subject was discussed at a meet- ing of the State Commission in Lunacy day before yesterday, and the Commis- sioners advised Dr. Eimer E. Stone, superintendent of the Napa Asylum. to go ahead, regardless of expense, and provide a bountecus supply of turkeys for Christmas dinner at the asylum. Dr. Stone, now having authority to ex- ceed the regular allowance in this spe- cial instance, proposes to go ahead with preéparations for the Christmas feast. will capture them, dead or alive. some surprise that the ng dinner at that institu- noted with Thanksgiv! ranged from 24 to 20 cents a pound. peal to the board's sense of piety or patriotism.
