The showering clouds of Saturday had
cleared away long before the sun arose
on the Sabbath morn, and as if to atone
for the gloominess Of the previous hours
everything was clearer and brighter than

the days of the past week, and this had
the desired effect of bringing down a
huge multitude from town, many of
whom were doubtless attracted by the
announcements regarding the Japanese

About week ago Poncet Seraphin, a
saloon-keeper on Macy street, com.
planned to Chief Glass that some one
had stolen his watch, which he had left
in his vest in the barroom at his place.
The force was instructed to keep look
out for the missing time piece, but could
find no trace of it until Friday last, when
MIR. Seraphin came to the Station and
said his watch was hanging in the
window of jewelry store on North
Main street. Detective Bowler was de-
tailed on the case, and upon going to the
jewelers. was informed that the watch
bad been left for repairs by man who
claimed to be railroad brakeman. The
jeweler was told that the watch had been
stolen, and when the man who
left the watch called for it
on Saturday evening he was told
TO come Sunday morning, as the
repairs had not been completed, The
police were informed of this arrange
ment and Detective Bowler was on hand
yesterday morning prepared to capture
bis man, who did not turn up until after
IL O'Clock. The officer entered the store
and wanted to make trade, but the man
evidently recognized him, for he ran
from the store and turned up Main street.
The officer gave chase, and captured him
on Requena street after hard run. The
prisoner was brought to the station,
where he gave the name Of A. Belassich.

Aoyx a Boston Rat utilized His
Tail.

A waiter at the Metropolitan hotel on
Washington street says that there is a
rat of unusual intelligence which haunts
the hotel kitchen, and when occasion
offers steals food from the cook. He
says this rat ought to be caught and ex
hib;ted as marvel at the dime mu-
seums. Several stories of ssgscity are
told about this rodent. of which the fol-
lowing is one:
"a few evenings ago." said the waiter,

kitchen. 1t was dusky when l arrived,
and as soon as my eyes would permit me
to get used to the light saw large rat
walk deliberately up to dish OF dough-
nuts and begin to take them out one by
one and string them on his tail as you
would string beads. When he had put
on five and loaded his tail all up he
turned around, took the end of his tail
between his teeth and walked off as if he

The wealth Of France.

During the debate on the French
budget NJ. Rouvier, the Minister of FL
nance, adduced facts to show that France
was by no means on the verge of ruin.
Public wealth and prosperity, he said,
had grown as well as the budget. De-
posits at the banks amounted to 9l0, 900,
600 francs, and the capital embarked in
shares and other French industrial under.
takngs showed since 1876 an increase of
1000, ,000, 900 francs. The deposits in
the savings banks amounted to 228, 8,O00,-
900 francs, belonging to G, 6,492 900 deposit
tors. That was sufficient answer to the
gloomy picture that had been drawn Of

But He Regretted 1t, and Added n False
hood mt Last,
We had n man named Burrows in our min
ing camp, and he was without doubt the most
notorious liar Nevada will ever shelter. His
fame as a liar spread for a hundred miles
around, and men used to stop at our camp to
get a look ut him. He wasn't a wicked man,
and he had no malice about him, but he was q
natural born liar. He lied about his father,
his mother, his wife, brothers, sisters, and
everybody else, and for every hour in the day
he had a new falsehood. He mad a claim of
his own and was fairly Industrious, and so We
had no excuse to drive him out, although his
lies were continually kicking up ill feeling
among the men Ono day u lot of earth and
rock caved in on him and inflicted fatal inju-
ries, and a number of us knocked of work to
be with him in his last moments. You would
have thought the shadow of death would have
brought a change of sentiment, but it did not.
Lying there with only an hour of life left to
him, he told US that he had been a pirate
on the Pacific and where he had buried a large
amount Of plumber. We all knew that he was
from Ohio and had never seen any ocean, but
he stuck to it. Ono of the men finally felt it
his duty to say;
Burrows, you nave only a short time to
live. You had best spend that in preparing
for eternity"
"pve allus been good" he quietly replied.
"Yes, but you are an awful liar, you
know"

He went of soon after that, and we said to

Latest News From Samoa.
arighted by the Associated Press.

49,
APIA, Samoa, May !, via San Fran
cisco. Admiral Kimberly has received a
letter from Mataafa a few days after he
had issued his proclamation advising the
natives to give up the war, in which
Mataafa expressed his pleasure at the pro-
clamation and at the kindness of United
States government, and said all desire for
furtherwar with their. countrymen is ended.
He declares war to be ended because he
earnestly desires that Samoans should find
a state of prosperity, and also desires to
have Admiral Kimberly act as arbitrator.
lie expressed the opinion that Samoa
would escape danger, If the United
States alone were to protect and give sup
port to it without the interference of any
other power. He is sure that u re-estab-
lishment of the three nations, system
would be useless, as in part 1t has resulted
in the loss OF many lives and In the coun-
try being constantly 10 a ferment.
Admiral Kimberly replied, expressing
his pleasure that Mataofa was willing
to declare the war at an end. He said
Tamaseses still had nothing to say OF peace
except on conditions of his submission.
He assured Matoafa that the efforts of
the United States government in the Der
lin conference will be directed to obtain
concessions that will advance and promote
the interests of Samoa in every re-
spect, and adjures him to be of good
heart. Admiral Kimberly declines to
have the correspondence between himself
and Tamascses made public, stating that
it must first go before the department at
Washington. German Consul Knappe
does not think Admiral Kimberly's proc
lamation will amount to anything. Herr
Stubel, the new German representative
arrived April 2S.
An Associated Press correspondent had
an interview a few days ago with Mataafa,
in which the latter said his people felt
very grateful for the interest the Ameri-
cans had taken in their cause and that he
had no desire to fight Tamasese or the
Germans; he would like to see the United
States declare a protectorate over Samoa.
He thought that was the best way to
avoid trouble, as the natives were contin-
ually fighting among themselves.

CHICAGO, May 2O.-Thc most horrible
revelation made in the investigation of
the Chicago public insane asylum was that
reached to-day in the testimony of George
Hill, a locomotive engineer now employed
on the Lake Shore & Michigan Southern
railway. lie wa admitted to the institu-
ton in January. 1883, suffering from a
slight mental arrangement, and was dis
charged as cured in May. When he went
to the asylum an attendant named Lott
asked him if he was insane. lie said he
was not. We'll" replied Lott, I'VE will
make you a id sight insaner than you
are now" Another attendant named
Julian ordered Hill to sweep out the
room, and on his saying he had not come
there for that purpose, knocked him
down and kicked him in the body and
mouth. knocking two teeth out.
Hill tried to cover his face by getting
his head beneath a bench, when Julian
turned the bench over. breaking Hills
arm. Hill rolled up his coat sleeve in
court and showed a huge lump where the
ends OF the broken bones, badly joined,
are exposed. They knocked him down
again, he SAID, and broke one of his ribs.
His arm caused him great pain and he
could not get proper treatment. He tried
to see the doctor, but j ulian told him if
he dared to speak to the doctor he would
kill him right there. One day Hill had
an opportunity of conversing with
Supervisor Jones and told HIM that he
was badly treated. Afterwards the two
attendants knocked him down and held
him, while Julian repeatedly knocked him
in the head and breast. On getting up
with blood running from his face, Hill
said he would have Justice some day,
w]hereupon Julian cursed him aud
knocked him down and kicked him again.
Hill said a new patient named Levi was
brought in one day. He did not know
enough to go to the dining room and
attendants Julian and Lott knocked him
down and jumped on his stomach until he
was unable to move. Then they picked
him up and threw him on a bed. Lew
died that night. The courtroom was
still as death during this awful recital.
Judge Pendergast instructed the witness
to bring in his wife to curroborate his
story, and a physician was detailed to ex.
amino Hills arm and ribs.
Several other witnesses testified to the
brutality of attendants, the miserable
quality of food, etc. County Physician
Todd testified that Robert Burns. whose
death resulted in this investigation, had
not died of consumption, as was stated by
Superintendent Herman in the certificate
of death.

New YORK, May 2O.-The sensation
caused by the corner in Oregon Transcon-
t|incntal last wrek appeared to be gradu-
ally dying out to-day, but both parties to
the contest for control kept the interest
alive by manipulation for the purpose of
liquidation. There is a rumor of a com
promise by which the Union Pacific will
continne to pay 6 per cent. dividends on
Oregon Navigation stock and retain con-
troll. This would eliminate all bitterness
from the election and leave nothing for
the Willard party to fight tor.
In the afternoon the stock was decid-
edly heavy, and selling forced the price
down to 80, a decline of 6 per cent. from
the opening. Henry Willard was offered
5000 shares, with proxies, by Gov.
Arncs, of Mass, but declined buying,
While the Oregon Transcontlnental stock
was being sold, brokers identified with
Willard bought Northern Pacific heavily
and caused an advance of q per cent.

Tho effect of the habitnal use of tobacco on
the health is the subject of an interesting and
significant paper by DIR. i. II. Bosunth, pub
lished in The Medical Record of this city.
The writer calls attention TO the fact that the
Anglo-Saxon races have been using tobacco
for smoking and chewing purposes during
the past four centuries. They contracted tho
habit from n race which, as far as history
and tradition teach us, were remarkable for
their vigor of body and mind as well, and as
far as 70 know, were an unusually long lived
people. In the time that we have been using
the weed there is no evidence to show that
the race has in any way deteriorntcd; but
on tho contrary, it Is ~abundantly shown that
tho average duration of lifo has increased
nearly 80 per cent.
There is no evidence TO show that In this
time tho race has been more subject to dis
case, but rather that they are less so. There
is no evidence TO show that the race has lost
anything In its intellectual activity; but, on
the contrary, 1t has been a time of most mar
velous fecundity in all that is great in litera-
ture. DR.. Bosunth, while not advocating the
use of tobacco, is opposed TO the wholesale
dcnunciation of "the weed" maintained by
some extremists, his experience showing that
as u general thing it is innocuous, and In cases
where its use is Mt all baneful the sufferer is
himself conscious of the fact, and controls
the remedy. Briefly, the object of the essay
is not u plea for tho use of tobacco, but sim
ply TO suggest whether we had not best ADAM
don the idea that it is q drug whose use Is
pernicious in every way to body, mind and
morals, and rather to take tho view that it Is
one of Gods good gifts to man.--Amcrican
