They had been profuse in expression of sympathy and generous in voicing hope that she would recover the missing treasure, and they reasonably assumed that their interest in the matter would thus be permitted to lapse. But, i deprivation constantly taxing their atten- tion, not to say good nature. Regardless of what else was In process of discussion, she introduced the mysterious disappear- ance of her cash and thus deralled many & much more savory topic. “It's the strangest thing,” she would abruptly and irrelevantly break In, “what became of that money of mine. How it could vanish as it did and nobody here know anything about where it went to is what puzzles me.” It was useless for the other ladies to re- sume the gossip thus interrupted, for if they had done so it would immediately have been knocked out again by Miss | Voigt ventijgting her uppermost thought. | Mrs. Minnie Leberberg was the pioneer | expostulator, and the venture led to her | arrest on the charge of having battered | Miss Volgt by knocking her off a chair | and then roughly disarranging her coif- | fure. “I wish to goodness,” Mrs. Lebenberg sharply ejaculated after one of Miss Volgt's intrusions hid shelved a morsel of small talk which all present except that person keenly relished, *“‘you'd stop your everlasting chatter about that | money you say you lost.” | A murmur of applause greeted the pro- test, and it inspired Mrs, Lebenberg to further reproof. “We can't speak of a blessed thing,” she pursued, “without you chipping in about your money. You make me tired.” A repetition of the approving murmur was nipped in its incipleney by Miss Volght's retort. “Maybe,” she sweetly sald, “certain pec- ple who get tired hearing about a thing have good reason for not wanting to hear about it.” : When the significance of the sentence had thoroughly flitered through Mrs. Lebenberg’s intellect she sharply demand- ed: “Do you mean to insinuate?” To which Miss Voight responded with the mossgrown implication, “Whoever the shoe fits is welcome to wear it."”" Ambigfious as the speech was, it in- stantly fired Mrs. Lebenberg to fury, with the result hereinbefore announced. Police Judge Mogan will endeavor to hear all the testimony to-morrow morn- ing. P Two colored infantrymen bought as many bottles of beer at the municipally unlicensed saloon of Adif Rehfeld, Greenwich and Lyon streets, and he was arrested and booked on the charge -of having allowed the tipple to be consumed on. the premises. Judge Shortall, how- ever, dismissed the case after varlous witnesses had convinced him that the botties were wrapped in a newspaper and that the soldiers did not drink their con- tents in the store. L4 R No sooner were John Howard, James Donnelly and Thomas More, long-time assoclates in vagabondage, released from serving a three months’' term in the County Jail than their ears were assailed by the din of the Chinese new year celebration and into the Celestial quarter they Iimmediately piunged. Three hours later they were soddenly inebriated and under arrest. “Naw,” said Mr. Moore, serving as spokesman for the trio to Judge Con- lan, “we wuzn't sfllybratin’ no heathen festyval an’ spongin’ booze frum de Chinks.

He clalmed Victoria, B.

J « s e ‘When she got her marriage to Hd Haas annulled by order of gourt, Viola Brooks of 368 Haight street naturally imagined she was freed from domestic proquinquity to him who had been her husband, but he disillusioned her. In- stead of packing his personal belong- ings and conveying them forth, as she had expected he would do, and as a law-respecting citizen would have done, Mr. Haas just stayed where he was ere his marital tie was severed, nor could he be either oled or threatened into removing the blight that his presence cast athwart his for- mer helpmeet's hearthstone. Indeed, she averred when filing complaint against him for vagrancy, he loafed with more energy after divorce than prior to«t. Judge Mogan has the case in hand, and will give it full hearing to-morrow. .« . Pessimism alone did not predict un- happiriess for Albert Castignet when he married a mother of five. His pro- fesslon of embalming bodles induced even the optimistic among hjs friends ln' the French colony to shake their heads and shrug their shoulders ominously when his betrothal to the plump and petite widow was announced. “Ah, heaven,” they sald, “Albert is making the one great mistake in his selection of a wife. What he needs is the young and vivacious fille, not the veuve with the mischievous garcons five to care for. Albert has the pro- fession solemn and depressing, and he should have the home life bright and sparkling instead’ of the paternal cares many. Sacre! Trouble will come to the Albert.” That the foregoing prophecy failed not of fulfillment was- demonstrated + : ey .

BETTER SERVICE , STILL ONLY AIM Policy of United Roads to Remain the Same Under just what the recent changes in the or- ganization of the United Rajlroads meant. The public understands that there is & chairman of the board, a president, an as- sistant to the president, a vice president, a secretary and a treasurer, but there Is not a clear notion as to just what some of these officers are to do. This seems particularly true regarding the office of assistant to the president, recently cre- ated and to which Thornwell Mullally was elected a few days ago. General Counsel Ford was asked to ex- plain the recent changes in the company’s official staff, which he did as follows: “The changes have been neither radical nor many. The only new offices created were those of chairman of the board and assistant to the president. Charles Hol- brook was elected to the former and Thornwell Mullally to the latter. The chairman of the board is the official head of the company and, as his title would in- dicate, presides at all meetings of the board of directors. “The assistant to the president in the absence of the president is the manage- rial head, with all the power of’the pres- ident, and has the immediate control and supervision of the affajrs of the company. All heads of departments report to and receive thelr instructions from him. The position/s one of great responsibility, and 1 may add that the company deems itself fortunate in having induced Mr. Mullally to accept.” When asked if the new arrangement would affect his department General Ford answered: “Not at all. 1 will simply re- port to Mr. Mullally instead of to Mr. Holland, the same as other heads of de- partments.” Concerning the company’s plans for the future, General Ford sald he could scarce- ly speak with authority on that subject, but that he could say that he knew it was the company’s intention to put its severai lines of rallway in the best possible shape and to bring the service up to the nighest standard of efficlency. He said the company’s engineers had “estimated that this would require an outlay of some 8,000,000, and that the company was ready to expend this sum. “The fact is,” sald Mr. Ford, “the com- pany is determined that San Francisco shall have the best street railway service that money and engineering skill can provide.” —_——e———— ‘WILL CHANGE LOCATION OF WINFIELD SCOTT SCHOOL or interrupting your work | 5.z Board of Education to Have Building Erected on Greenwich Street, Be- tween Webster and Fillmore.

Thomas J. Duffy was arraigned In the United States District Court yes- terday before Judge de Haven on an indictment charging him with perjury. He not being represented by counsel, Judge de Haven offered to appoint an attorney for hffi, but Duffy preferred ! to attend to his defense himself. The indictment accuses him of having sworn falsely in the United States Cir- cuit Court on December 7 when he de- nied his signature to a receipt for $20,000 and to a deed for a mining clalm near Nome, Alaska. The suit was for $1,500,000 damages, the esti- mated value of gold taken out of a placer mine claimed by Duffy and ap- propriated by Jafet Lindeberg and other defendants. . Duffy conducted his case against 1 Campbell & Metson and was worsted.
