In very suspicious manner at the depot
Upon searching them he found that they
were in possession of large quaatity of IN.
stamped matches. He immediately informed
Internal Revenue Collector A. L. Frost of
the fact, and the latter had them arrested for
violation Of Section 3430 of the revised
statutes. Upon being arrested they gave
their names as g. Lsvison and VIM. Wilson
Both are boys about seventeen years of age
hnd are strangers in this city. Lsvison says
he lives IN San Francisco with his mother
and the other claims that he resides
10 the same city with an aunt
They were examined yesterday afternoon
before Deputy United States Court Com
missioner Edward Cadwalader, and held
to answer before the United States Grand
Jury at San Francisco They will be taken
to the Bay this morning by United States
Marshal NJ. NJ. Drew. They were asked
from whom they obtained their matches, and
both told the same story. They claimed
that In San Francisco there was no kind of
labor that boy could get to do by which he
could make an honest living. That in this
business they were making from sixty cents
TO one dollar per day. They did not know
whereabouts in San Francisco the matches
were manufactured, bat thought it was done
IN the Chinese quarters. They stated that a
great many Chinese and white boys were in
the same business thai they bought their
stock of very dark.complexiOned Jew, who
was known among his customers as the
Niger" This man would bring the
matches to them on the street, and never
disclosed where his mandatory was stu
ated. They gave dollar to this individual
Tor an amount of matches that required
stamps to the amount of 81 So The boys
were selling the matches at ten cents per
bunch, and were making their way 40 coun.
try when detected by special officer Brissell.
Our ON BAIL &C. J. Howard, one of the
managers Of tie ciIcus, who was arrested last
Sunday, charged with an attempt to murder
Thomas Burns, was released from custody
yesterday on his giving bond in the sum of
$4,000. His sureties are a. j. Rhoads and
G. K. Rider. Mr.. Howard has been held in
custody for three days, the Court refusing to
allow him to have an examination until the
extent of young Burns wounds were more
definitely ascertained. The doctor in attend
ance states that his injuries, though very
serious, are not necessarily fatal Since the
arrest of Howard, it has been ascertained
that the gang of hoodlums, of which it is
alleged that Burns was one of the number,
cut the ropes that held the center
pole of the main tent, and it is only won
der that the whole tent was not precipitated
upon the heads of the audience during the
time of the performance. Those assembled
to witness the performance were mostly
women and children. If the tent had been
thrown down conhagration would have GER
tainlY ensusd, and there being no escape
many lives would have been lost. No person
wishes to hear of boys having their craniums
mashed In with clubs, but good, sound
thrashiDg administered TO those lawless
youngsters, who are the terror of the out
skirts of this city, would be applauded by
every good citizen.

or Feast of Weeks of the Jews, began last
evening at shutdown and viii continue for
forty-eight hours. Il is one of the three
great festivals first observed by the Jews, the

Egypt. 1t was called Feast of Weeks be-
cause it was celebrated seven weeks after the
second day Of the Passover. The sacrifice
j burnt Offering of lambs and the first
..snts of the harvest marked it anciently q
feast instituted in commemaration of the CIV
ipg of the Law to Moses on Mount Sinai,
prizes, y legislation shortly after the begin !
ming o, the Christian era making it religious |
observance. 10 modern times, until quite |
recently, it was merely observed by devo- |
tional exercises. At present, in most of the |
synagogues on this day the ceremony of con- |
frmation takes place, consisting of the i'm |
parting of the laws and principles of Judaism |
to the youth, with a confession of faith. 1t |
WAS only in the early part of the present cen
