I STOCKTON EVENING MAIL, MONDAY, MARCH 10, 1902. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. WAS P. CROWTBER WICKED OR GREER? n. and turrirg to a clerk he asked whether was tne Fifty-exth tvssion.

The clak told him it was the Fifty-seventh. "If I were a monitor of Congress." said the oman, I would know in what I rv eh "Tr.ut is just wh'n you would foiget it, and many othtr tning.3, re. plied the tk-nator, as hi did her the card ar.d waiktu away. were Judge Minor. Attorney ilnilin and J.

II. Wilkinson. The do sum was unanimous. The argument of the Stockton debaters was consistent and well-sustained and their delivery was much -liji. to that of the Modesto team.

1 pt iiest i tiam was not weak, by any and the argument advanced by mimi Kvai.s was tine in every way. He no. well suj ported, however, there being a lack of it am work. The Stock-Mi I 'i vs Were well treated at Modesto aid report having i a delightful tarn. 1 he audience was most impartial, aid toe applause was unstinted when ociJsion warranted it.

"Well, I wont bid any more, because Captain Brooks is a friend of mint', and he might get mad: hes bound to have the boat, anyway, and Jd only be running the price up on him. Say. Captain, why dont you give me 25 ee'nts to go home?" "Why dont you pay me to go? "Ill give you $1) if ou will.

was the retort. Sinai bid as high as $6925, P. S. Marshall of San Francisco $6650. and A.

Cohn, the junk dealer. $6000. After the sale someone remarked to Mr. Gillis that he did not appear to have had anyone bidding in his interest. "No." was the response, "1 decided to part with the boat, and so I gave the boys fair show." "1 suppose, remarked the questioner, "that she brought enough to leave quite a sum after paying the expenses of raising her.

"Just about enough to cover the expenses. was the reply. It is said that one of the companys objects in auctioning the boat off was to lix definitely the value of the wreck, as a factor to he used in a damage suit which will probably be brought against the Navigation Company, owner of the boat that sunk the Dauntless. The original value of the latter is said to have been about $75,000. and.

the sale of the wreck for the price at which she was knocked down opens the way for the Inion people to bring suit for over $63,000 damages. 4 ijj pure, 8yearoId me-dicioal whisky. Sixty cents a bottle. IN Ht- Ti THE HOLDEN DRUG GO. 'iff Cor.

Pollard Crowther is out on bail and tells a tale of miH'laotd confidence. Crowther is the young man wncm Landlord J. A. Robinson ol the Kniekerboe ker hotel, on Van Ness avenue, charges with having part'd upon him a lkuriuus check for $100, drawn upon the Wells-Fargo Lank r.f this city, in payment of a bill which included ret only the ordinary items of lodging and sustenance, but at leari one entertainment given, in most approved form, to some of the city's fa. rest and st exclusive daughters.

I'ruwther states that he rectiwd the check in good faith fiom p- r-sn: and gaw it to lL.bun-'-n in the belief that it was genuine. A. far as they have gene, the polne have vended tins stuy t-veiy par tvulai He has Ken detected in no missiat n.eiits of tact.

Morgan Smith, who has pos-ed in the past as a nephtvv of J. IMerpont Morgan, and is the hvio of a whaling voyage lo the Arctic in the capaciiv ot a foransth-hand. According to Crow ther, Smith is the Cause of his piestnt Double. Amoi-Png to Smith. Crow ther is tne v.etim of a Jiuge joke.

Roth asriee that they had known licit other but a short time. Th substance of luvvthei's stuw is ae follows: One night, ovt a v.oik ago. while I was dining a little Bohemian party at a Meviotii restaurant on Rreadway. I saw Snnih in.iovmg a similar time. We saw e.mh other siv- ral t.ntes afti that.

Finally, last Wednesday, when 1 was very much worried over the of ex-pt etv-il finals, and after the episode at the Knh kerbocki-r hotel, in which i had told them 1 ws going give up my room that day. 1 met Smith again at a saloon. We got into conversation, during whkh it developed thit he was very well acquainted with a fra nd of mine named Dudley, a Princeton man like Smith. We found that we also had other common acquaintances. Ho had some fr.ends with him.

ami i. view of my shortage ol finals, frankly called him aside ami told him that 1 really could mu afford to remain and buy drinks, as I was short of money. "Whv, don't let that worry you." he replied. "I have a friend who will let you have a hundred lor a few days, if you are a friend of old Dudley." He took me to the Palace hotel, where he left me for awhile, and came back with the check payable to my order for $kn. He gave it to me: 1 offered him a receipt, which he refused, and 1 thought he was simply a thoroughly good fellow who was willing to help me out of a temporary difficulty.

I had told lum w'nat my hotel bill was. and that 1 would have some dollars in change coming from the check after it was paid He tid that he felt just lke going aronm town a bit that night, and that if 1 would del him have out of the change we would roam about for awhile. I gladly agreed to Ft him have it. Robinson, though, did not have enough cash for ail the change. He went to a store near the hotel to try to get it.

tint could not. so he at last gave me $5 cash and his check for the difference. I went downtown ami tried to get the check cached, but could not. After several attempts, which failed because I did not find anyone who knew me. 1 went after Smith again, but he had gone.

ARE SATISFIED WITH OILED ROADS. What Supervisors of Yolo Couoty Thisk of Highways They Inspected here. From the Woodland Democrat. Supervisor Hoppin returned from Par Joaquin county this morning. He and Supervisor Kussell went over there on Thursday to examine a section of public road upon which uil has been applied and both of them are pretty well convinced that the time is coming when oil sprinkling will be geneialiy substituted for water sprinkhrg.

They saw a mile of oil-sprinkled road between Ftocktnn and Woodbridge, th base of which is a sandy loam. The nad was properly giaded before the oil was applied. It is now in line condition, shds water readily, and with proper care is nut so likely to cut up as a water-sprinkled road. Supervisor Hoppin also viewed another section of road over an adobe soil This road was not properly prepated. The oil was applied on a llat suiface, con sequently there is a tendency to cut through.

Nevertheless the mad is in fair condition, and practically flee fiom mud. Both Supervisor and Supervisor Hoppin are so Well satisfied with thf oil treatment that each wiil enter int contract to have oil applied to five or six miles of road in his respective district.

From Ellis island the immigiunts were sent over to the Bargo ollic- lots of from three to five bundled.
