TO SAVE HIS MOTHERS HOME.
why WitrOck Committed the Great
Express RObbery-FOtheringh Iln-
pliCated.
LEAvENwORTH, KAN, Dec. 30.-Mrs. Witrock,
the mother of "Jim Cummins," was seen at her
residence last night. She was very unwilling to
say anything about the arrest Of her son, but was
anxious that the public should know the real
cause OF the robbery. She said that she had Won
dered from the first what prompted the robbery,
and the first question she asked her son after he
had been brought to his home by the detectives
was: "Why did you take the money!" She says
the time was growing SO short when the mortgage
on her home to secure 81, 700 that she had bOr-
rOwed and loaned to him would become due, and
he was not making money enough out OF his bust
stead to go to sale he made up his mind to make a
desperate effort TO save 1t, and finally decided
upon the plan OF rObbing the express car.
FOTHERINGHAM WAS AN ACCoNPLICE.
Specials from Kansas City state that oscar
Cook made confession yesterday in which he
stated that Fothertngham, the express messenger,
who is now in Jail charged with completely in the
robbery, knew all about the plan to rob his car,
and was willing victim to the attack of the
the amount stolen as his share Of the booty, and
that sum was part OF the money which Fred
Witrock sent to his mother for safe keeping.
Another special from Kansas City states that it
was the intention OF the cOnspirators to rob the
car on the night OF October ed and that the first
''Jim Cummings letter was written before that
time and dated on that day. On that night, how
ever, there was not enough money in the car to
pay the robbers for their trouble and their plan
Was not finally carried out until the 25th. Should
these statements be borne out by the facts in the
case FOtheringham will doubtless accompany his
fellOW-cOnspiratorS to the penitenttary.

fering with the opportunities of the
worthy poor to earn wages. 1t would be
public economy for each county to set
apart fund for the express purpose of
putting at disagreeable and underpaid
work-yet yielding food and shelter
every able-bodied beggar, every member OF
the tramp family. Such system would
free the people from what is now an intol
cradle nuisance.
The momentous questions of the pre-
vention of crime the legsening of vicious
influences, and the decreasing of the char
ity wards of the State, now over 1000 in
number in various State institutions. are
before She conference, and we shall expect
wise expression after mature elaboration.
More than that, we have I. right to expect
something to be put afoot looking to APP
plieations of remedies and the removal of
causes. The rapid growth of mendicancy
and crime, and dependency upon State and
community charity, are becoming more
and more menacing, and are not to be
cured by resolution. They cannot be
longer ignored by this people. Our legis-
Iation on the subjects is at fault. We
have had too much of it in some direc-
tions, not enough in Others, and in no case
the statute book discloses, has there been
the best and most economic legislation
upon charities. Really there is grave
matter enough to engage the attention of
the conference day and night for month.
But all the deliberations and reports of
facts must be crowded into few days, and
the fear is therefore reasonable that
scarcely more will be accomplished than
the passage of resolutions, as expressions
sound enough, but not having ex-
ecutory power, or backed by definite, active
movement to make them eventually
effective.

Ingenious Smuggling.

A New York correspondent of the hide
pendent Statesman, referring to the SNUG
Cling of precious stones into that port,
says: The recent sale of smpggled dia-
monds was the largest in the Custom House
record, and shows the audacity with which
this fraud is practiced. The method is
very ingenious. and the system has been so
well arranged that our officials have been
compelled to employ spies in foreign ports,
who telegraph the departure of suspected
persons. As soon as the latter arrive they
are taken to the searcher bureau in the
Custom House where clothing is searched
even to the seam, and sometimes the heel
of the boots are removed to see if they be
not hollow. Even the hair is combed, and
if a wig be worn it is thoroughly examined.
In one instance passenger by one of the
Cunard steamers had $4,000 worth OF
precious stones concealed in the lining of
his boots which were discovered and con-
fiScated. This man was dealer in these
articles, and was determined to continue
in the traffic. In short time he went
again to London, and soon returned, On
this occasion he was closely searched, but
nothing was found. AS soon as he was
released he went back to the steamer and
carried off large quantity of diamonds he
had secreted in his room.
Some time ago the authorities received
notice of the departure of a notorious dia-
mond smuggler from Europe for this port
On his arrival he was taken to the search
er's bureau and thoroughly examined. In
his pocket book was an invoice of eighteen
precious stones, and his clothes were exam
ined, each garment by itself. The officers
were gratified to discover the precious num-
Der mentioned in the invoice, and allowed
the man to depart. When he went home
be removed plaster from his back. in the
ridges of which he had concealed the true
diamonds, those discovered being merely
imitation, placed there in order to deceive.
The ingenuity with which these frauds
have been practiced has aroused still closer
search, and one of the results is the seizure
of the last mentioned invoice.

Natural science and the supernatural.

One of the latest phases of the religious
thought of the times seems to be desire
to get rid of, or to explain away, the super
natural-at least to reclaim and domesti
cate it and convince mankind that it is not
the irresponsible outlaw we have so long
been led to suppose desire nearly as
marked in the theology as in the science of
the day. Thus, the Bishop of Exeter Or
Temple), in his hampton Lectures of 1884
on the Relations between Religion and
Science" upholds the belief in miracles,
without calling to his aid the belief in the
supernatural as the word is commonly
used. A miracle, he urges, may be only
some phase of the natural not yet under
stood; the turning of water into wine by
word of command, or the miracle of the
loaves and fishes, may have been accom-
plished by the exercise of some power over
Nature which is perfectly scientific, but of
which man as yet has imperfect control.
And the Duke of Argyll, in his Reign
of Law" cautions US against assigning an
event or phenomenon to the agency of
the supernatural until we are quite sure we
understand the limits of the natural-the
natural may reach far enough to include
all that we have commonly called the SUI
pernaturdl. Thelatest considerable attempt
in this direction is furnished by the work
of Professor Henry Drummond on "Natu-
raj Law in the Spiritual World" work
which undertakes to demonstrate the nat
uralness of the supernatural, or the oneness
of religion and biology.
Butler, in his Analogy" says that there
is no absurdity In supposing that there
may be beings in the universe whose ca
pacity and knowledge and views may be
so extensive as that the whole Christian dis
pensation may to them appear natural ;
that is, analogous or conformable to Gods
dealings with other parts of his creation ;
as natural as the visible known course of
things appears to US"
Such being seems actually to have APP
peared in the person of this Scotch profess
sor. The whole Christian dispensation'
is to him little more than question of ex-
perimental science; the conversion of Paul
is as natural and applicable process to
him as the Matching of an egg, or the
sproutipg of a kernel of corn. Religion
he says, :" is no dishelved mass of aspira-
ton, prayer and faith. There is no more
mystery in religion as to its process than in
biology. "-Joha Burroughs IN Popular Sci
euce

Are Monkeys BIimicso

The authority of scripture Il Kings, X,
22l warrants the belief that monkeys
formed an article of commerce as much as
twenty-eight centuries ago, so that no lack
of time can have prevented us from study
ing the habits of our four-handed relatives;
yet it would hardly be an over-estimate to
say that 500 of l 900 men persist in the
belief that monkeys have a passion for inl-
itating the actions of their twohanded
kinsmen; that, for instance an ape, seeing
his master shave himself, would take the
first opportunity to get hold of razor and
Grape or cut his own throat How could
that idea ever survive this age of geological
gardens? Marcus Aurelius held that the
sum of all ethics was the rule TO love
truth and justice, and live without anger,
in the midst of anger and unjust men,"
Yet the occupation of monkey-trainer
would put that tolerance to a severe test.
With an intelligence surprising that of
the most intelligent dog, monkey COM
bines an ultra-mulish degree of obstinacy,
and, rather than initiate the demonstrative
manipulations of the kindest instructor, he
will sham fear, sham lameness, sham heart
disease, and generally wind up by falling
down in sham fit of epileptic commissions.
l have owned monkeys of at least twenty
different species, and have never been able
10 discover lDe slightest traces Oh tldI sup
posed pcllchant for mimicry. A boy may
take off his hat and turn a thousand
somersets, JACKIE will watch the phenome-
non only with view to getting his fingers
into the pockets of the unguarded coat.
Lift up your hand hundred times, Jacko
will witness the proceeding with calm in
difference, unless more emphatic repeti-
ton of the maneuyer should make him
duck his head to dodge an anticipated blow.
He has no desire to follow any human pre-,
cedents whatever, and the apparent excep-
tons from that rule are, on his part, wholly
unintentional and merely natural result
of anatomical analogies. An angry hama
dryas baboon, for instance. will strike
the ground with his fist, not be-
cause any Christian visitors have ever
set him that bad example, but because
his forefathers have thus for ages vented
their wrath on the rocks of the Nubian
highlands. A capuchin monkey will pick
huckleberries with his fingers, not in def
erence to civilized custoa,s, but because his
fingers are def and long, and his jaws very
short. Nay, that same capuchin monkey
admitted to a seat at the breakfast table of
punctilious family, would be apt to show
his contempt of Court by sticking his head
in the pudding dish. The compulsive
methods of professional trainers may mod
ify that peryersity, but during recess the re-
deemed four-hander is sure to drop his
mask, and unlike trained dog, will never
volunteer the performance of a popular
trick.-Dr. FeliI L. OslCatd.

SAN FRANCISCO AND VICINITY.

Another disastrous break in the stock
market occurred yesterday.
The arguments in the habeas corpus case
of James Hope, the celebrated burglar,
were yesterday submitted and taken under
advisement.
The new United States District Attorney,
John T. Carey, has reappointed Thomas NJ.
Jewett as Chief Clerk in his office, which
position Mr.. Jewett has held for the past
twenty-nine years.
John F. Osborn, an Englshman, 40 years
of age, was found dead in his bed Tuesday
morning at Tubbs' Hotel, Oakland. An au-
topsy showed that the cause OF death was
fatty degeneration of the heart.
The special proceedings commenced in
the Superior Court at the instance of John
D. Siebe, for recounting of the vote cast
for Assessor at the late election, were
opened yesterday in Department Five,
Judge Wilson presiding.
The mother of the long-lost Artie Fraser
made another examination of the skeleton
which was found by some boys last Sunday
partly buried in the mud on the Potrero
flats near Long Bridge, and has come to the
conclusion that the remains are those of
her lost boy.
The case of Alexander Goldenson came
up again yesterday before Judge Murphy,
on the motion made by defendants coun-
sci, last week, for a change of venue and
for the appointment of a commission 10
take testimony as to the sanity of relatives
of the prisoner in Russia, New York and
Colorado. The motion was denied.
A. Stetfanoni, jeweler of Oakland, re-
Gently exhibited in his window some neck
laces and earrings made of muskmelon
seeds and steel beads. One morning a
necklace was missing. The next morning
three earrings and another necklace were
missing. The jeweler searched the window
and found rat hole in one corner. Under
meath the window shelf was a pile of steel
beads and cracked melon seeds. Near this
pile were the tags to show the value of the
trinkets the rat had destroyed.
A sailor, George Burchell, fell into the
bay off Spear-street wharf, Tuesday even
ing, while intoxicated. He fell just astern
of the British ship fairfield. When the
cries of the man were heard from the cabin
of the fairfield Captain Thomson went on
deck, and seeing the man in precarious
position. took rope, jumped overheard,
and finally saved the mans life. Burchell
was taken to the Receiving Hospital and
thoroughly resuscitated by vigorous work.
Captain Thomson ruined suit of clothes
and gold watch, but bravery, like virtue.
has its own reward.
