POPULAR EXCITEMENT.

Excitement aud notoriety-sensa
tionalism,-spread evil quicker than
any other cause,-makeS it contag-
ions through the newspapers the
same as the germs of disease are
transmitted by the air or personal
contact. The White Cap outrages
have spread all over the country,
and many innocent victims have snf
fered aud others met their death in
attempting to have a little fun out
of thoughtless scare. Barn burn.
ing has spread through great por.
ton of Maryland and Pennsylvania,
famed into flame more by fear aud
excitement, through the papers and
by the talk among the people, than
by explosive, torch or combustion.
1t might be called combustion Of
the imagination. A number have
been arrested at Hanover and York,
showing that the barn.burning cpl
demic was not by any gang OF orga.
nized incendiaries, not to vent spite
or in;ure insurance companies. but
pure deviltry, inspired by reading,
hearing and talking, and working
OH the Imagination and nervous ex.
element of those whose minds might
be called not we'll balanced in ser.
iousness and comprehension OF the
gravity and dangerous nature OF
such offences. One arrest was of
girl, 16 years old, who confessed to
burning the barn OF Ter own people,
but could give no reason. Another
is of q plain and hard working man,
with whom there can hardly be n
cause or motive and whom we believe
is the victim of excitement and fear.
Still another arrest was for sending
warnings through the mail, Just for
fun. OF course it will 60 hard at the
trial with these victims of popular
wrath and excitement, and they will
suffer the penalty for crimes they
are not entirely to blame, and for
which there exists no really crimi.
nal motive.
A little more calmness, sternness,
prudence and watchiulness on the
part OF the press and the people
would have saved much unnecessary
fear and excitement, and perhaps
prevented a great deal of the dan
ger, loss and suffering.
AS it is, the press, the lawyers and
detectives reap certain harvest, for
which the public and the authorities
pay the hire, and a few deluded per
sons suffer double penalty, and
agonies of mind and body inside the
bars and out. aN

CONSOLATION.

When Molly came home from the party
tonight
The party was out at nine, -s
There were traces Of tears in her bright
blue eyes
That looked mournfully up to mine.
For some one had said, she whispered to
me,
With her face ON my shoulder hid
Some one had said there were sobs in
her voice.
That they didn't like something she did.
So l took my little girl up on my knee
am old and exceedingly wise,-
nd said, my dear, now listen to me;
Just listen and dry your eyes.
s'This world is difficult world, indeed,
And people are hard to suit.
And the man who plays on the violin
Is bore to the man with the flute.
"And myself have often thought,
How much better twould be sHa
If every one of the folks that know
Would only agree with me.
"But since they will not, the very best
way
To make this world look bright
Is, never to mind what people say
But to do what you think is right

GRAY HORSES.

Experience, ] think, viii prove
that while a good horse may be OF
any color,n gray horses are strongest,
hardest, hcaltlliest and most valua.
BILE. The crack regiment of the Brit.
ish army has always been one OF
cavalry, consisting Of gray horses
only. This regiment Of Scot Grays
made charge at the battle OF Wa.
terlo which decided the fate OF the
Great Napoleon, as the unfortunate
Emperor afterward declared. The
French stage horses are nearly all
gray. This is the prevailing color of
the horses of the country known as
Percherons; also Of the gigantic
horses of Normandy which formed
the cavalry Of William the Norman,
who subdued England 900 years ago
by the aid OF these stoHt horses.
Gray horses are rarely unsound in
leet or joints. The omnibus (orstage)
horses of Paris are mostly Of this
color, and endure the constant tray
ell over the stone paved streets Of
that city for an average period Of
ten years. There is an old adage
that /" the gray mare is the better
horse y and although this has been
distorted in Its meaning into an in.
situation that the woman overpow-
ers the man and makes Of him her
slave, thisls only modern misuse
Of the proverb which is like most Of
such sayings, the result of common
experience.-Ne,c York 1rtbaR.

minutes one of the women came into the
place and said he was dead.
Officer Stewart, who lives at New
High and Alpine streets, testified that he
was called by Msude Preston, and on
going to her house found Woods bathing
the deceased with water. They said
they did not know what was the matter
with the man. The officer telephoned
for the patrol wagon at 10 AS.
On cross-examination, witness said he
had seen deceased about, but had never
known him to enter disreputable place
before.
Officer Bosqui testified that he
had known the deceased foi
two years past and never
knew Of him frequenting houses
OF prostitution, or places where opium or
morphine was sold On investigation
he found that deceased left his wife al
about O'Clock on Wednesday evening
and came over to the city, but could find
nothing in regard to his movements from
that time until he went into the saloon.

man on Main street about o'clock, with
whom he took drink and said he was
going home. He was in good health ap-
parently, and as far as witness knew,
had no cause to be dependent. He had
been married about four years and had
one child.
The jury found that the deceased
came to his death by morphine poison
ing.
1t is strange case, and those who
have investigated it are of the opinion
that the man was given an injection of
morphine by the Preston woman, which
proved fatal. His domestic life, as far
as could be learned, was happy, and as
there does not seem to be any reason for
him to take his life, the above men,

He is Arrested Here, and will BE
Sent North.
Chief of Police Glass and Detective
Mccarthy, of the Los Angeles Detective
Bureau, arrested Frank L. Bailey, the
missing San Francisco stock broker, vino
is wanted in that city for forgery. For a
long time Bailey was the manager of
General Bidwell's ranch at Chico, where
he was also engaged in a general store.
He went to San Francisco and started in
the brokerage business. He had cus-
toners in Chico, and made habit of
running between the two places. One of
his customers in San Francisco was A,
Sweeney, bartender in the Lick House.
Bailey held a block of stock of Sweeney's
which amounted to $4,000, and wanting
some money he forged his customers
name for that amount. Fearing arrest
and conviction for his crime, he wrote a
letter to Sweeney, in which he stated
that it would be useless to look for him,
as before the epistle would be delivered
he would be at the bottom of the bay,
where two weights would hold his
body beyond the reach of graphing. irons
and fishes. The letter was published in
the HERALD, and for a time the affair
caueed quite sensation. Bailey had no
intention of committing suicide, and in
stead of going to the bottom of the bay,
skipped out and remained in places
where he was unknown. The fact that
he was living soon leaked out, and the
detectives set to work to find him. De-
scriptions were sent out and he was
located in Southern California, and
was known to be in this city
during the past week. Detective
Mccarthy learned this fact, and
started out to look him up, finally locat-
ing him at the United States Hotel,
where he had registered under the name
OF j. F. Bromley on Monday last. Chief
Glass was consulted, and at 2 O'Clock
Yesterday afternoon he was arrested at
the hotel. He was taken to the station,
and telegram sent to San Francisco an
nounclng HE capture and asking for in
structions. No reply having been re-
csived at midnight he was locked up ia
the City Prison. Bailey appeared en-
tirely at his ease, and said he was not
afraid to stand trial, but said be had
been foolish in trying to make people
believe he had committed suicide, as he
had adopted no disguise, and had not
taken any great precautions to avoid
arrest.

be direct, as was shown by the accident OF
Friday, the touching of the ordinarily inno'
cent telegraph or telephone wire when 1t is
in contact with an electric light wire is as
fatal as the touching of the electric 1ght
wire itself. 1t is within the range of posi-
bility, and not very remote one, that man
with his ear to telephone trumpet may be
shocked to death.
But the danger is not confined to the wires
admitted to be poorly insulated Mr.. Edi-
son and several other electrical experts de-
clare that it is simply impossible to so thor
oughly insulate the wires carrying the high
tension currents which oms of the electric
light companies are using in the metropolis
so as to make them safe. And Mr.. Edison
further declares that the situation would not
be improved were the wires placed under
ground. There, he says, the insulation
would burn off, and the electricity would
creep up into houses and through the man
holes in the streets. There is only one way
by which they can be made safe, and that is
by reducing the intensity Of the current 90
low that 1t will not have power sufficient TO
destroy life. This can be done at the sacri-
nee OF some of the arc lights aud the substi-
tuition OF the incandescents. That would
probably reduce the light somewhat, but
little loss of light is a trifllng price to pay
Tor immunity from such horrible catastrophes
as those of last week.
The Portland daily press., 1889-10-15
Electric LIGHT Wires.

1t appears that since the first of Septem
Der not less than twenty-five persons have
been killed in New York by electric light
wires. Some of the deaths were no doubt
due In part to the carelessness of the victims
and could have been avoided had reasonable
precautions been taken. Others have been
due entirely to the badly insulated wires.
This was notably the case with the lineman
who met his death in New York city last
Friday night. The pole which he assembled
and from which he was lowered down
corpse, with hands, feet and face terribly
burned, did not have upon 1t a single cleo
trlc light wire. All the wires were either
telegraph or telephone wires. which, it is
we'll known, carry current too feeble to do
any harm. He had no reason to suspect
danger when he grasped the wires that
shocked him to death. The explanation of
the catastrophe is that an electric light wire
perhaps miles away from the scene of the
disaster, had fallen across one of the tele-
graph wires that was attached to this pole.
ana the high potential current of that wire
was sent through the ordinarily harmless
Telegraph wire. These numerous deaths
anu especially the last one, which was wit
messed by thousands of people, have served
to call attention to the condition of the cleo
trio light wires in the metropolis, and the 70.
suit of such investigation as has been made
is far from reassuring. 1t is admitted that
there are more than fifty miles Of electric
light wires that are poorly insulated, and
pretty certain to kill anybody who comes in
contact with them. The contact need not
