PR A * | | Mrs. Clara Schimpf, widow of a po-| liceman who was killed while discharg- | ing his duty, has been sent to the; Magdalen Asylum and will be detained | there six months. Then, if she does not | amend her general conduct, a jail term will be prescribed for her. Friends of the woman and her chil- dren suggested her incarceration, as she seems to be an incurable inebriate. She squandered in dissipation the $2000 surance on her husband's life, and [the widow’s pension of $0 a month rded her by the Police Department also been spent in riotous living, while she has neglected her two young and pretty children. She is a member | of an old and respectable family in this | city and was a very pretty girl when | she married. | { | | _Patrolman Winzler was on duty last | Friday evening at Fourth and Mission | streets when Walter K. Brown accost- ; €d him with a request to be locked up. “What do you want to break into jail r?" the policeman inquired. “Because I'm a desperate man and may kill myself or some one else if I'm not placed under restraint,” was the | earnestly delivered answer. - “You don’t look the part,” was Winz- ler's comment as he surveyed the un-| warlike tout ensemble of Mr. Brown, | “but T guess you know more about yourself than I do. May I ask for an explanation of your vearning to slay?” “Certainly. I have a beloved sister, and just now the thought occurred to me that she might have committed sui- cide. That's enough to make me blood- thirsty, ain’t it?"” ““Well, I should say it is,”” acquiesced the diplomat in uniform. ““And jail is the best place for me, ain’t it?” “Net only the best place, but the only place. While we await the patrol wagon'’s arrival you might as well kill time by telling me how you intended to kill some one. Let's see your weapon?” Holding forth a pair of gnarled and soiled hands Mr. Brown said: | | 1 | “Them’s | my weapon. I wasn't going to hit with ‘em—just to choke.” “And it was very considerate of you | to decide to do your killing in a way | that wouldn’t leave a muss for some- | hody else to clean up. But here's the | wagon." | In the court of Judge Cabaniss all| recollection of having met Patrolman | Winzler was disclaimed by Mr. Brown. | “I have been hitting the booze'pre".y{ hard for a week,” he said, “and I never | had a sister.” Then he promised to shun “booze” and the court liberated | him. i e iy | Arguments were submitted to Judge Mogan by contending counsel in the case of Howard A. Tennyson, dentist, charged with having betrayed Desta Wilson under promise of marriage. The defense depicted the girl as an experi- enced harpie seeking whom she might blackmail, and deplored the lack of protection afforded by law to thirty- | eight-year-old men of the world who ! are beset by sixteen-year-old sirens. ! The prosecution declared that one of | the opposition witnesses, a woman, had | lies so inextricably woven in her teeth | that even the acknowledged dental art | of the defendant could not remove them. Then the Judge promised to| have something to say next Saturday. . s . David Kiein, alleged to be a merchant | Diego, was accused of having obtained goods by false pretense from Morrie Mitau, whose millinery estab- lishment occupies 1076 Market street. The defendant, it was claimed, pur- chased about $1000 worth of goods from the complainant, to be delivered in San Diego, the shipper to draw payment through a bank in that town. When | the stuff was packed and ready for forwarding the defendant suggested that he be allowed to take some of it | with him to dispose of while en route ' to his sunny southern home, so the packages were opened and $130 worth of their contents Intrusted to his custody, the remainder being shipped as per prior agreement. But the San Diego bank declined to settle, disclaiming cognizance of Mr. Klein, and the con- | signment, minus the $180 worth taken | by him, was returned to Mr. Mitau. The arrest of Mr. Klein was effected | through Mr. Mitau seeing him on Mar- | ket street last Friday afternoon. Judge | Mogan ordered that Mr. Klein be de- | tained in custody until to-morrow, by | which time the prosecution may have ! decided under just what section of the Penal Code it will undertake his con- viction. « o John Bulltvan has been given until next Tueeday to make up his mind as to whether it would be wiser for him to plead gufity than to combat the charge that he stole tools from a chest in a building in course of construetion at! Jessie and Annie streets. He is for- mally accused of burglary. s s e Joseph Miller must answer before a jury in the Superfor Court to the charge that on April 1 he “held up” at pistol point a bartender in the Cape Nome saloon on Pacific street.

The latest accounts show that the earthquake was even more | disastrous than at first believed. Of a total population of nearly 5000 in the town of Kangra it is believed that only 500 are left alive. Many of these have fled. Of the police only a deputy inspector and four sergeants are alive. Many people are still imprisoned in the ruins. Dharmsala, Kangra, Dhwana, Pal- anpur and all the neighboring villages were completely wrecked. Scarcely a building remains standing. Not much damage was done at Haripur, Derago- pipur, Nadaum or Hamirpur, but Su- janpur, having a population of about 6000 souls, 18 reported to be in ruins. The shocks continue. There is no news from the Kulu Valley, but’ac- cording to native rumors a great amount of damage has been done. An official dispatch from Dharmsala says the place is a scene of complete desolation. labor great difficulty is experienced in excavating the ruins, but the Ghurkas are doing excellent work. SIMLA, India, April 8.—The vice re- gal lodge here has been declared un- safe as a result of the earthquakes, and Lady Curzon, wife of the Viceroy, and her children and the vice regal staff have moved Into houses situated within the lodge grounds. Lady Curzon's bed- room was considerably damaged. The shocks have ceased and the resi- dents of Simla are reassured. An investigation shows that the dam- age to the vice regal lodge is so exten- sive that the repairs will take several Lord and Lady Curzon, how- «..A DAY OF...

LIFE NOT 1ARD RACIOPPL 10T IN THE BASTILE AN ANARGHST NEW YORK, April 8.—Michael An- stale,” was Weill's reply, and the words were hardly out of his mouth when the lady threw the fish in his face. Heine only laughed. “It is a proof,” he assured Weill, “of Mathilde’s af- fection for you. If I did not know you so well I should be jealous, for these demonstrations are, as a rule, reserved for me.” RUSSIAN BOOKS IN JAPAN. Special Dispatch to The Call PARIS, April 8—“The Bastile!” | Heretofore these have been words to be | pronounced with a shiver. They will be | 80 no longer, however, if we believe M. | Funk-Brentano, the French historian. i For after years spent in pouring over ! ; the ancient archives, moldy parchments {and tattered records of this famous | fortress and prison M. Funk-Brentano | has come to the conclusion that much | sympathy has been wasted on those | who are confined there. The Bastile was not, he declares in effect, a place of terrors, but more a pleasant retreat, | where overactive citizens might ru- minate in peace, and even in luxury, on | their duties to the King! . | _There are those, however, who accuse | the historian of attempting to “white- : wash” the Bastile at the instan f | the powers that be. Most of the prison documents were scattered and torn by the mob that stormed the fortress in 1789. The remnants were gathered up and tossed haphazard into a cellgr. Ten years ago M. Brentano was commis- . sloned by the French Government to ! classify and catalogue these papers. There proved to be more than 70,000 of ! them, and the task of scrutinizing them has had a serious effect upon M. Bren- tano's sight—in fact, he is nearly blind. Besides having come to the conclusion ‘that the Bastile has been grossiy ma- ligned, the historian claims to have elu- cidated many mysteries, including that as to_the identity of “The Man in the Iron Mask,” whom he declares to have been Count Mattioli, an Italian diplo- mat. We shall see what Andrew Lang has to say about that! By arder of the French Government, too, another of the historic houses in France is to be saved from destruction and turned Into a literary shrine. This is the mansion “Les Charmette,” at Chambery, where Madame de Warens, Claude Anet and Jean Jacques Rous- seau had their curious ‘“menage of i three,”” of which the great reformer wrote 8o captivatingly in his “Confes- sions.” The French Government has voted 85000 for the purchase of the ! house, which will be added to the “his- | torical monuments” of the country and probably will be open by the time American travelers begin to arrive this | vear.

One of these has for its hero a politi- cal criminal who, converted to true Christianity in prison, in his hands. fold with the gospel As most reaedrs know, Heinrich Heine and his wife, Mathilde, did not exactly recall Darby and Joan. An | echo of thelr frequent squabbles comes | | i | goes to the scaf- in Maurice Bloch’s new monograph o Alexandre Weill, who was an lnt?r:nt: of the family. Weill used to boast that neither the poet nor his wife stood on ceremony with him, and ome day he received a conclusive proof of this. He was dining with them and a pike was : le. “What set n the table. s your mndm of this pike?” Heine demanded. o In connection with the Cervantes commemoration ceremonies, which will be held in Spain from May 7 to 9, the Spanish Academy has decided to distribute free among the people 60,000 copies of a specially prepared popular edition of “Don Quixote.” Some uncommonly interesting statis- tics regarding the importation of for- eign books into Japan have just been given out by the French Minister to the Mikado's court, M. Harmand. It seemg that in 1901 Germany supplied the greatest number of books to Japan, 96,394; Great Britain being second with 87,608. The next year, however, the importations of English books al- most doubled, while the German sup- ply fell off a little. In 1903 the im- ports of English works nearly doubled again, the number being 315,518— more than all the other countries put together. A significant thing about the figures is the rapid rise that took place in the demand for Russian books by the Japanese in 1903. In 1902 Japan only baought 123 books from Russia, the next year the number rose to 1139, which is interesting in view of subsequent events. Although France has about as many important women writers as any other country, it is a rather surprising fact that the national language contains no feminine of the native word “auteur.” A Parislan journal has been getting the opinions of eminent men of letters as to how this deficiency should be remedied and these opinions differ &elo Racloppi of Union Hill, N. J., who came to America ten years ago, is be- Ing held on Ellis Island because of a letter recently received by the Police Department denouncing him as an an- archist. He arrived a few days ago from a visit to Italy, and, having be- come an American citizen two years ago, had no trouble in landing. Mean- time the letter to the police had been forwarded to the authorities at Wash- ington. A warrant for the arrest of Racioppi was sent to New York and Thursday a detective found him at his home in Union Hill. He was enticed to Ellis Island on the excuse that there was a trunk there for him and was examined by a board of special in- quiry. News of his arrest spread through the Italian quarter of Union Hill and there came near being a riot when it was said that the good-natured Ra- cioppi had been taken as an anarchist. The board quickly found that Ra- tioppl was not an anarchist and never dreamed of killing any one. He will, it 1s expected. be released when the board’s report reaches Washington. — _—a widely. Messrs. Breal and Havet are in favor of “authoress,” MM. Antoine Thomas and Salmon Reinach prefer “autrice,” while M. Remy de Gour- mont votes for “auteresse.” Meanwhile Paul Meyer asserts that the best French authoresses are quite satisfled to be described as “auteurs” and would regret any change.
