A Strange Bird Story.

l.. Page and son, cutting wood near
San Jose, noticed for several days that
a number of birds remained constantly
upon tree near them. some going and
coming from time to time. Upon cut
ting down the tree. they discovered a
limb with a hollow cavity, some two feet
in length and three or four inches in
diameter, in which were two full-grown
birds of some goodly-sized species.
There was small aperture through
which the birds were supplied with food
from their mates. The limb was cut
and the birds liberated. They were
neither of them able to fly, having evil
IDENTIFY never been out of their imprison-
ment. How they came inside is ques-
ton. 1t is probable that the mother
bird was small, and though able to make
her nest in the hollow of the tree and
rear her young, could no. extricate
them, and they did not gain strength
enough to help themselves until the hol-
low had so closed that escape was i'm
possible. Those who examined the
birds think they are about two wears
old They had been fed from their birth
by their bird-fellows through the aper-
ture in the limb of the tree. A nobier
instance of devotion, even the human
family never exhibited.-SdnJose (Cai.)
Mercury.

its recital. The subsequent steps were
all taken in desperation, despair, and,
finally, in utter abandonment. The

tradition, as the streets you traverse as
you go to your stations or places of

ruin of what might have been an hon
orable and creditable career. l have
written to my family statement of
what have done, and hope and expect
that all the money have taken in these
various ways will eventually be restored
to those to whom it belongs. l have
promised and pledged myself that such

The prisoner was visibly affected while
reading this statement, and upon the
conclusion handed the document to the
Court and retired to the room where he
is kept closely guarded. After he had
retired the courtroom was cleared, and
the Court proceeded to deliberate upon
the case. The proceedings can not be
divulged except by the proper authori-
ties after the approval Of the findings of
the Court. The statute renders it obi
gatory upon the Court to sentence the
prisoner to the Penitentiary, and allows
the imposing of fine. The Court may
sentence for life, but it is probable that
Jennings term of Imprisonment will be
about ten years, although nothing can
be authoritatively stated. The approved
sentence will not be returned from
Washington for a month at least, and in
the meantime Fleming will remain in
confinement at Alcatraz. His poor
wife, who deeply feels the disgrace
brought upon her unfortunate husband,
has remained with him as much us pos
sible, but as she would be obliged to
part from him soon at best, she will re-
turn to her home in the East in few
days-Sdn Francisco Call.

The Gamblers Fatal Passi0n...A Sad

beZzlement of public funds, conduct UNI

violation of the Articles of War, took
place at Alcatraz Island, near San Fran
cisco, on May 80 The prisoner plead
ed guilty to all the charges, but intro
duced several brother officers as wit
nesses to testify to his former good char
acter in mitigation of his Otiense.
The Judge Advocate said the prOsecu-
ton had no testimony to offer in rebuttal
of testimony as to Jennings good char
acter. On the contrary, the Court adj
mitted that his character was as stated
previous to the occurrences mentioned.
Fleming then read the following state
ment to the Court:

The English Black Book.

II
enormous volume contains the names
and aliases of more than twelve thou
sand professional offenders, and is stored
with valuable information relating to the
criminal classes Of Great Britain.
In accordance with law passed some
years ago, vast criminal encyclopaedia
was compiled by governors of prisons
throughout the United Kingdom. Up
to the beginning of last year nearly one
hundred and eighty thousand indiyfd
uals, men and women, had been inserib-
ed on this general list and a summary
of their biographies recorded. This
work had the capital fault of being too
elaborate, and the Home Secretary was
authorized at the last session of Parlia-
ment to prepare an abstract of it. The
new volume, which will henceforth be
known as the Black Book, describes
only those who have been found guilty
of felonies, or who have been repeatedly
convicted of misdemeanOrs. 1t is, in
short, dictionary of professional GRIM
inals, and as such will be distributed to
inspectors of police throughout Great
Britain, as well as to the governors of
prisons We need not point out its use
fulness to the former, as means of fix
ing identity and determining the inn
portance of given arrest, or to the lat
ter as an aid to gauging the sincerity of
the repentance professed by given
prisoner.
1t is understood that the catalogue
will be forwarded to the police of the
sarara1 Cart.nauta1 Gfafa, anH Of this
country, andvery properly, since it COM
prises the names of more than hum
bred individuals of foreign birth. Among
these cosmopolitan criminals we find a
notice of Augustus Winterhalter, who
escaped one day from Jail in CONSTANT
nople, and turned up "a few months af-
terward as forger in New York. 1t is
stated by Lieut.-Col. Du Cane. who su-
pervised the publication, that this is the
first time mass of information at once.
so complete and so accessible has been
furnished to the police OF any country.
The records of The French police are
justly celebrated for their range and
minuteness, but the volumes holding
them are too numerous and bulky to be
readily consulted or transported from
place to place.
To sum up the contents of this book,
it appears that there were last year in
England twelve thousand dangerous
persons, thieves, burglars, or murderers
by vocation, who were temporarily him
dered by Imprisonment from preying
upon society. If now we de-
compose this total with a view to the
birthplace of criminals, we obtain some
singular results. 1t might have been
supposed that almost all could be traced
to the refuse population of great cities.
The contrary proves to be the fact, for
London, if we bear in mind the ratio Of
professional offenders TO the whole body

active business career, and furnishes
many curious anecdotes illustrative
of his miserly habits and his cynical
disposition.
The story that Messrs. Gillespie
& Wolfe, of the executors, have to
tell is something very different from
the foregoing. 1t is that many
years ago a certain Mr.. Levy emf
grated from England to Jamaica,
where he never married, but had a
quadroon house-keeper, who bore
him son and a daughter. Success
full in business he lived in elegant
style, and his daughter became the
wife of an English officer of
the garrison. The George Cath
cart now on his way to this city as
nephew of the decedent, is, it is
claimed, the sole issue of this mar
riage and the sole surviving blood
relative of the millionaire, but as
both Mr.. Lewis and Mrs. Cathcart
were illegitimate, there are, it is
alleged, no legitimate and recogniz-
able heirs to be contended with.
The officer took his beautiful wife
to Belfast, Ireland, where he set
tied. Mr.. Lewis, or the boy, Jos.
L. Levy, dropped his name when
he came to New York, being
ashamed of his illegitimacy, and
adopted the name of Lewis. Under
the latter name he amassed the for
tune which is the subject of the
contest about to be opened. The
story, it will be observed, is at vari
ance with NJ. Lewis own state
ment that he was one of six, which
presumes a host of nephew claim
ants to be developed hereafter.
So far considerable evidence has
been accumulated in favor of Mr..
Lewis, and the counsel for the ex-
ecutors have consequently decided
not to offer the will for probate
until the case is ready for argument
So the curtain has not yet risen on
one of the most romantic dramas
of modern society. The executor;
are little wary as to the widows
claims, but profess to treat the no
ton of a legitimate blood heir with
contempt.
Mr.. Cathcart, it may be added,
writes very confidently to his coun
sci: 81 always expected to be Mr.
Lewis heir, and can furnish abun,
dant proofs of my relationship and
legitimacy"
