YESTERDAYS CAUCUSES.
Wallis for state Librarian-The Demo-
Gratis Not Ready to Name Their Choice
for Senator.

\ Joint caucus of the Republican members of
the Legislature was held i'll the supreme Court
room Yesterday afternoon after the adjournment
of the Assembly, TOR the purpose of selecting
five candidates for State Library Trustees to sue
coed the present Board one year hence.
Senator Me- lure presided, and +. d. Ryan,
Chief Clerk OF the Assembly, acted as Secre-
tary.
There were but two tickets in the field, one of
which was in the interest of T. II. Wallis, the
present Librarian, and the other in the interest
of Albert Hart, each of which was placed in
nomination. They are as follows:
Wallis ticket. S. Bclcher, of Yuba; Henry
Edgcrton, of Sacramento: a. q. Booth Of san
Francisco; w. II. Beatty and A. c. Freeman, of
Sacramento.
Hart ticket. T. Reed. of Golo; \ P Catlin
s. 5 Holl aud :. G. benson, of Sacramento and
William Simpson, of Santa Clara.
The supporters of Hart seemed to favora post
ponement of the caucus, and nineteen futile at
telnpts were made to adjourn Finally the eau
Gus got 10 .balotlng. and when ali but thirteen
names on the roll were called the Wallis ticket
had received IL votes, and the Hart ticket 10.
The former having already received a clear ma
jority of all the votes, the rol-csll was, on mo-
ton, discontinued, and the nomination of the
Wallis ticket made unanimous
THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Pursuant to notice given the Democrats held
| a joint caucus in the Supreme Court apartments
last evening, presumably for the purpose of
selecting the candidate who is to receive the
empty honor of having his name go before the
of Ex-Governor Leland Stanford for the United
States SenatorShip But there must have been
other matters of great partisan import brought
before the caucus, for-although it remained in
session nearly three hourS-the matter of the
Senutorship was not reached at all. Exactly
what did transpire at the caucus was divulged
to but a few of the faithful on the outside. The
fact learned however that the evening
was spent in an informal, rambling dis
cusSon OF various matters, including that
Of the present standing of the two
Senators Creighton and Drumm who,
although previously acting with the stalwarts.
deserted their colors last week and voted for
Knight for President pro TEN. As n result of
the consideration OF their case, they are, it is
said, to be taken back into the fold-possibly on
probation. 1t was limited that at times the pro
ceedings were OF a somewhat caloric nature.
The caucus decided to meet again this evening,
when il is expected somebody will be honored
with the Senatorial nomination. From remarks
made by prominent Democrats last evening 1t
would seem that Congressman Henley has the
best Of the fight, although: Flourloy and others
are here working zealously in the interest of
George Hearst. Chris. Buckley is also ON hand
again accompanied by {, small body-guard of
his TAI hful adherentS, presumably to take a
hand in the affair.

The Sohn Murder Case at vacaville.
NAcAvILLE, January 21st.-The examina-
ton of j. W. Gilmor and George l.. Taylor,
charged with killing Louis Sohn. on the
evening of December 18th, was finished at
3 p. NJ. to-day. The State proved the kill
ing of Sohn by Gilmor. Evidence was in
troduced by the defense showing that Sohn
had threatened to kill Gilmor at sight
These threats preceded the homicide but a
few days. Against Taylor no evidence was
introduced to warrant his being held,
simply that he was present at the time of
the shooting and did not express disap-
proval after it was done. Taylor had one
bullet pass through his overcoat and under
coat. After holding the matter under con-
sideration one hour Judge Ward, the COM

Taylor to answer without bail sympathy
is strong with Gilmor and Taylor, particu-

of bail will be settled by higher Court on

Heel and Toe.

In view of the uncertainty that per-
Yades the minds of athletes on this
coast as to what is and what is not a
square walk, it might perhaps be well
to give short account OF the history,
nature, and distinguishing characters
tics of heel-and toe walking. In En-
gland. some years ago, Mr.. Perkins
walked the fastest mile ever recorded
in the remarkable time of six minutes
and twenty-three seconds. His gait
was what is popularity known as heel
and toe-walking. In the early history
of walking in this country MIR. Stern
made mile on New York track in
seven minutes, at that time considered
very fast. His style was not heel and
toe, and form quite contrast to that
of Mr.. Mullen, who afterward in mile
competition, open to all corners,
walked MIR. Stern off his feet, and on
the last lap spurted him out of sight.
The square planting of Mr.. Mullen's
legs and heels was remarked and ap-
preciated, and thereafter heel and toe
walking became the standard gait of
New York athletic clubs. Rules were
made regulating the walking gait, and
hat-footed shutfiing was relegated to
the shades of the past.
In 1876, in this country, Mr.. Arm
strong walked seven mile race in
very fast time, and thereafter won the
amateur championship of the United
States and held it for some years, al
though hard pressed by MIR. Holske.
No better example of the two styles of
heel-and-toe walking can be found
than those of MIR. Armstrong and MIR.
Holske. Mr.. Armstrong employed the
| gait of Mr.. Perkins, high knee action,
with Il strong swing of the hips and
mechanical, enormous stride. MIR.
Holske's style was more natural, with
very little action of the knee and a
quicker movement of hip and leg.
Both walked heel and toe-that is, the
action of the knee Strengthened the leg
! Just before the heel touched the ground,
| throwing the toe up and necessarily
lengthening the stride. The advanta-
ges of this gait are evident, and if it
should be asked why it is accepted as
standard and others rejected, it may
be answered that the Strengthened limb
is without a question of beauty,
strength and skill, whereas the bent
knee is the sign of weakness and the
refuge of hitchers and shippers, mon
grel-gaited pedestrians, and all such.
In a race, if the pace be too stiff or
the man tired, he naturally comes
down to a flat-footed gait. The ballet
dancer uses the stiffened knee and
pointed toe, and the principle of heel
and-toe walking is exactly the same.
The actor and orator use the extended,
full sweep of the arm; the eagle and
the king vulture maintain the power of
their graceful flight by the wide ex-
tended pinion. The athlete lifts his one
hundred pound bell to the extremity
of his reach and if he did not, his per-
formance could hardly be called feat
of strength. By instantaneous photo
graphs we find that the foreleg of the
racing trotter at full speed is straight
ened just before the hoof touches the
ground. In fact, if man is cut out to
be walker, he takes to this straight
eneC-knee, heel-and-toe gait naturally.

Precautions Against Thieving.

In the matter of pay for services the
general assumption in the business of
New York City has come to be that
all men are thieves. That seems harsh
and hard, but experience has taught
that safety against robbery lies in treat
ing every handler of ones money as
possibly dishonest. 1t is only ten years
ago that the street-car conductors were
indignant because the bell-punch was
introduced; but some of them soon
proved, by ingenious devices to beat it,
that they deserved the precaution.
Mechanical guards against stealing
have multiplied, until now a machine
for registering receipts is conspicuous
on half of the cashiers desks in town.
Bartenders in the bigger groggeries
have to hand all the money to a chap
behind an apparatus that stamps the
amount of every sale on strip of pa
per, and drops clipped bit into
locked receptacle. There is a man
who owns thirteen large bar-rooms, all
extravagantly fitted up. and located in
places of fashionable thronging. He
says that he would be ruined in a year,
instead of enriched by his extensive
business, if he did not take such meas
ures against pilfering. Every horse
car company uses complicated and
effective system of bell-ringing and
registry for fares. Retail stores of all
kinds are similarly outiitted. Even the
more prosperous soda water and cigar
stands are provided with checks and
clock-work to enforce honesty. On
the Brooklyn elevated railroad the
ticket-sellers do not so much as touch
the tickets, but jigger them out through
the spout of registering machine,
from which the passengers carry them
to the drop boxes at the gates. Thus
nobody employed in the stations ever
handles a ticket. and there is no chance
for collusion. Resentment over these
things has worn away, and shouldn' {
be much surprised at the early intro
duction of patent, self-registering con-
tribution baskets in churches. The
good Deacon Huyler, noted for piety
and fresh-every-ho candy. and warm
ly eulogized after his recent death for
having insisted that the girls in his
store should all belong to his Sunday
school class, did not allow religion to
be their only shield against temptation.
What makes you use checks and 8
punching box on your counters, Broth
er Huyler?" a fellow churchman asked
"Are not your young ladies honestP''
Perfectly" was the bland reply, .'anC
l mean to make it easy for them tt
keep so" IN r Cor. Albany journal
