Down and Property Recovered.


Down and Property Recovered.
Thomas Wilson and Andrew Roberts,
the men who burglarized the hardware
house of the Huntington-Hopkins Com
pany on Saturday night, were landed in
the city prison yesterday morning, having
been captured at New Hope by Constable
G. G. Cogswell, of Gait. The capture is a
credit to the police force of the city as well
as to the energetic constable who accom-
plished it. The robbery was not reported
to the Chief of Police until Sunday morn
ing. Telegrams were sent out at once to
Gait and various other places. The thieves
had passed through Gait before Cogswell
received the telegram, but he soon learned
were new shotgun had been sold and got
on track of the parties who disposed of it.
He followed them to New Hope and ar
rested them in a hotel, where they were
both asleep, at o'clock yesterday morn
ing. Two of the shot-guns had been sold,
but he recovered them. and as he found
the money on the prisoners he refunded
it to the parties who had purchased the
guns. All of the revolvers were found in
the possession of the thieves, who have
made clean breast of the burglary. They
state that they only arrived heIe last
Friday but that they had met two crooks
at Vallejo who told them how to get in,
the place. They went in through the sky
light, using short ladder to gain the roof

HIS LIFE SPARtD.

Governor Waterman Commutes the Sen
tence of a Chinsman.
Governor Waterman has commuted to
imprisonment the sentence of All Jake, a
Chinaman convicted of murder in Sierra
county in October, 1887, and sentenced to
be hanged The Governor says: 1 find
that the act committed by Ah Jake was, 10
a certain extent in self-defense which
phase of the case has clearly been set forth
in letter written by j. A. Vaughn. editor
of the Downieville Messenger, q journal of
character and standing. The person killed
by All Jake was fellow countryman, who,
from the surrounding circumstances, met
his death in all attempt to rob All Jake,
but the perjury of the witnesses and the
defense in not having his case properly
presented to the Court, resulted in no de-
fense at all. Judge Seward has written me
a very strong appeal in favor of committing
the sentence of All Jake, TO one of i'm
prisonment for hfe and presents incontro
vertible reasons why it would be a simple
act of Justice. A petition signed by many
of the leading presidents of the county unite
in appealing for favor to this Chinaman.
Among the names are those of J. w. Orear
7. D. CalkiIs, of the Sierra Tribune, d. T.
Cole, H. Spaulding, Meroux Bros, S. f.
Purdy, J. 7. Mooney, Thomas Brennan, II.
w, Orear, P. r. Gardner, Conrad Wagner
and many others. Six of the jurors also
petition for the commutation."

At the funeral of General Riley, of Ro-
chester, the veteran temperance worker,
his pastor said: "1e has stood in four
great public relations to the community
First, as a business man, marked not only
by integrity and uplightness, but, better
low greed for gain to choke out liberality
and generous helpfulness toward Others
Secondly, as 4 philanthropist, who in the
noblest ways, freely, nnfinehingly, i'm
refcrmer, he was ready with heart, with
hand, with purse to help on every good
cause for the benefit of his fellow men.
Opposition did not dauat, obloqny did not
deter him, and in his work Of reform ap-
peared again his intrinsic unselfishness.
He did not champion good causes that he
might be lifted into public offices. Am l
wrong in saying that no man in this COM
munity has done more to fight the drink
demon and to oppose the rum curse than
did General Riley Fourthly, as a Christ
ian he was faithful and true Though
very earnest and resolutc in his principles,
never heard him utter one bitter word,
| never saw him manifest any acerbty of
spirit. Until his feet could bear him along
our streets no more he sought regularly
the house OF God. Well did General
Riley's life illustrate the words of the wise
man Of ancient Scripture, who. in Proverbs,
says of the man who makes wisdom his
counsellor and gnisie, that for him, IN her
right hand is length of days, and in her
left hand riches and honor. General
Riley was ninety-four years of age when
he died. and had been sesenty-two years a
resident of Rochcs ter.

JEWS rnEEDon FROM 1sERHlErY.

Says Dr. Norman Kerr, the well known
writer on physiological aspects of inebri-
ETY.; The temperance of the Jews is pro-
verbal. Extensive as my professional in
tercourse has been with them, have never
been consulted for inebriety in the person
Of Jew, while my advice has been sought
for this complaint by very large number
Of Christians. In my opinion their general
freedom from inebrety in almost every
cline and under almost all conditions
(there are very few exceptions to this rule1
is as much due to racial as to hygienic,
and more to racial than to religious in
fiuences.

Will He hold yoa guiltless Of using your
ballot to help party that abets system

Have you moral right to uphold a
party that upholds trade that is crowd
ing hell with lost spirits?
Is it right To preach salvation u men
and vote damnatiou to theme
Can you conscentously use your polit-
ical self-your ballot--to serve sinful
system and then plead ''my party before
God as an excuse for the wrong il does?
When God called you into His service
did lie tell you to use your tongue to,
praise Him and your ballot to cruelty Him9
II you vote with either of the old par
ties, all hell will hurrah every time you
are found preaching the funeral sermon
over the remains of the drunken or rum

Woman's first appearance has been
fruitful subject for the legend
The Phencian myth Of creation is found
in the story Of PYgmalion and Galatea.
There the first woman was carved by the
first man out Of ivory and then endowed
with life by Aphrodite. The Greek theory
of the creation of woman, according to
Hesoid, was that Zeno, as a cruel jest, or
dered Vulcan to make woman ont of clay.
and then induced the various gods and
goddesses to invest the clay doll with all
their worst qualities, the result being
lovely thing, with a witchery of men, re.
fined craft, eager passion, love Of dress,
treacherous manners, and shameless mind.
The Scandinavians say that as Odin, Viii,
and We, three sons Of Bor, were walking
along the seabeach they found two sticks
of woods, one Of ash and one of elm. Sit
ting down, the gods shaped man and wo-
man out Of these sticks, whiting the wo-
man from the elm and calling her Emla
One of the strangest stories touching the
origin of woman is that told by the NADIA
gascarenes In so far as the creation of
man goes the legend is not unlike that
told by Moses only that the fall came be-
fore Eve arrived. After the man had eaten
of the forbidden fruit he became affected
with a boil on the leg, out of which, when
ii burst, came beautiful girl. The mans
first thought was to throw her to the pigs,
buthe wascommanded by messenger from
Heaven to let her play among the diggings
until she was Of marriageble age;
then to make her his wife. He did SO,
called her Bahoura, and she became the
mother of all races of men.
The American Indians myths relative to
Adam and Eve are numerous and enter
tanning. Some traditions trace back our
first parents to red and white Maoze; an
other is that man, searching fora wife, was
given the daughter Of the King of the
Muskrats, who, on being dipped into a
neighboring lake, became a woman.
Poor first mother For untold centu-
ries she has been twitted for her primal
share in the worlds cares and punish
ments. But whether the pro-
duct of pimple or of divinely- -vivified
rib, the paradox remains that she who is
the truest daughter of Eve has never lack
of admiring slaves. San Francisco Chroz-
