Arrest of an Insane Man Whose Thoughts
Run to Incendiarism.
Yesterday word was sent to town that a
crazy man was causing great deal of an
noyance, and no little alarm, among resi-
dents on the Riverside road in the vicinity
of Sutterville.
Deputy Constable Swift went down there,
and with the assistance of ar. Aschnauer
arrested and brought the unfortunate man
to the city. He was very reticent, and re-
fused to give his name, beyond saying that
it was Tom" He was locked up in the
County Jail for examination.
Ali that is known of the poor fellow is
that he has followed the occupation of
herding sheep. He sees nothing but sheep,
and talks about nothing but sheep. He
said he had been herdIng them on Califor-
mia street.
About 2 o'clock yesterday morning he
tried to get into house at Sutterville, and
when Mr. Aschnauer found him yesterday
he was about to make fire in bis barn
to do some cooking, he said. The barn
was filled with hay from top to bottom,
and had he got his fire started there would
have been lively and destructive blaze.
The probability is that ii was this crazy
man who set fire to Martyrs barn on Sun
day morning.

LIABILITY OF LANDLORDS.

Are They Responsible for Money Given
Their Clerks for safe-Keeping?
An interesting point came up in a case
tried before Judge Henry yesterday, in
volving the liability of landlords of hotels
for moneys deposited with them (or their
agents. for safe-keeping. On the 1st of
August last S. G. Pelton arrived from
Shingle Springs about 3 o'clock in the
morning, and put up at the State House,
where he had been accustomed to stop.
He had $125 in his purse, and this he gave
to the clerk behind the desk for safe-keep
ing until morning. He saw the clerk
place the money in an envelope, indorse
the latter and putt in the money-till. The
clerk then escorted him to his room.
The next morning neither the clerk nor
the money could be found and the propri-
etors of the hotel-Messrs. Kinney & VIII
son-denied any knowledge of the trans
action or responsibility for the alleged loss.
Pelton then sued them for the money, and
the case was heard yesterday. The plain
tiff was represented by S. S. Holl and the
defendants by W. Matthews and A. J.
Bruner.
The defense held that, under strict
construction of the Civil Code, the propri-
etors of the hotel were not liable; that the
law provided that landlords were not re-
sponsible for any losses of money or valu-
ables when the same were not deposited in
the hotel safe; that in this case the money
was not so deposited, and the plaintiff was
aware of the fact as he had testified; that
it was incumbent on him to see that the
money was deposited in the safe before he
could legally demand its repayment by the
proprietcsr.
Justice Henry did not take this view of
the matter, however, and awarded judg-
ment in favor of the plaintiff for Sl25 aud
costs. He said that travellers were not ex-
pected to carry in their pockets the com.
binatons of hotel safes, and that when
Pelton deposited his money with the clerk
for safe keeping he did all that was re.
quired of him, and naturally supposed il
would be placed in the safe.
The case will probably be appealed.

Death of a PROMINENT LADY.

The death is announced of Mrs. Mar
garet Whitley, who has lived for so many
years at the well-known Whitley Place"
on the river bank about six miles below
the city. Deceased had been a resident
of this county since 1851, and in early days
the members of the family were very
prominent in leading society circles.
Those who survive Mrs Whitley are her
three daughters, Mrs II. A. Dunbar, of
New York, Margaret S. and Laura J..
Whitley, and one son, William Whitley,
a clerk in the Custom. house at San Fran
cisco. The interment will be private, but
friends are invited to the funeral ceremon-

A LIVELY MOLLUsK.
Half Crazed from Liquor, a Hack-Driver
Creates a Sensation.

Half Crazed from Liquor, Hack-Driver
Creates a Sensation.
Yesterday the hackman known as Mol
lusk' made things howl up town. Armed
with q case-knife, he went about seeking
an opportunity to carve somebody. Billy
Hall, the ebonized slogger, was the only
person who did not seem to fear Mollusk's
knife-nothing short OF razor would
scare him-and and while the liquor
crazed hackman was making desperate
efforts to slash Hall, the latter laid him
out with blow of his powerful left arm.
At this point officer Carroll came up, and
despite the wild mans frantic thrusts with
his knife. as he lay on the ground, got
pair of handouts on him. Aided by officer
Stafford, Carroll succeeded in landing his
prisoner in iail.

A GOOD IDEA.
Proposed Consolidation of the Two Local
Bands for the Last Concert.

Proposed Consolidation of the Two Local
Bands for the Last Concert.
The members of the Open. air Concert
Committee are making arrangements to
give grand double concert by the Artillery
and Hussar Bands some evening next
week in Capitol Park. Instead of each
band playing separately, they will be con.
solidated into one body, thus making in all
about forty-fve musicians playing at the
same time.
choice programme is to be selected,
and as it is to be the closing concert of the
season the committee propose to make il
one to be remembered. The exact date
will not be fixed for two or three days yet.
This affair suggests the advisability OF
the two local bands occasionally appearing
in public as one, while still preserving their
separate organizations. On great occasions,
when it is desired to make strong impress
sion, and yet but one band be necessary
they could consolidate. There would be
few bands that would have any advantage
over them

Shortly after II o'clock yesterday fore

Scroggs building, on the northeast corner
of Tenth and X streets. The upper portion
of the place is maintained as cheap lodg-

TO the roof, and it was hard to get at
Moreover. the fremen were hampered by
lack of water for some time, and also by
the frequent bursting of the hose.
On the whole the fire was well handled,
and was extinguished before any great
damage was done The loss will amount
to several hundred dollars, as the interior
of the place was pretty thoroughly drenched
with muddy water.
Engine No. 3 was delayed in getting to

GOODYEAR WELT SHOES FOR MEN, So.

The advantage of the Goodyear Welt over the
ordinary machine sewing is that it is the nearest
approach to hand work yet made by machinery.
The stitches come on the outside of the sole as
in hand-sewed work, and thus give a smooth inside
sole, free from rough seams nails to hurt the
feet It also makes a more flexible shoe than
ordinary machine-sewed work.
The line of Goodyear Wets which have
just placed in stock at s. consists of hook and
lace and elastic sides, in what is known half
French and St. Louis toes. The Shoes are made
of wellseected calf, with seamless Sides and are
well made throughout. Price, S..

STRUGGLE OF THE RACES.
Which Win Gain Mastery In Africs, Black
or White

South Africa Is the only country
where, in a temperate climate admir-
ably suited to both, the European and
the negro are engaged In struggle
for mastery and for occupation Of the
land, not by force of arms, but by the
silent process of natural selection. The
conflict Is going on, and the result is
not so certain as those who belong to
the superior race could wish IL to be.
In the West Indies the negro has
won, but there the climate was against
the Europeans.
In the southern states of America
the same battle is going on, but there
60,OO0,OOO of Europeans surround T.
0O0,0OO.of negroes, and yet even under
these conditions the question Is full of
difficulty.
In south Africa, says the Eortaightlv
RerieU, half a million of Europeans
live in the midst of 3,OO0,O0) black
folks, who are backed up by a great
reservoir of barbarism. from which re-
inforcements In the shape of laborcrs
are constantly being pushed down to
the south to share the means of SUBJ
sistcnce with the black, white and
brown races already on the soil. The
natives, under the peace kept by the
Europeans, increase, apart from the
immigration mentioned above, ac-
cording to the evidence of statistics
far more rapidly than does the white
population.
They drift into and I'll up the coun-
try in a silent way that can only be
compared to the flowing of the tide.
Fifty years ago Natal and tho territory
now known as the Transvaal Republic
were wildernesses, depopulated by tho
Zulus, who had destroyed man, wo-
man and child in their ruthless forays.
Now there arc 100000 natives In Natal,
ani at least a million in the Transvaal,
outnumbering the whites by ten to
one. In Cape Colony the struggle Is
better maintained, but even there the
increase OF the black and the brown
races is very marked.

The talk of making friends is mis-
use Of language. Friends are found
not made. They are a discovery, not
creation, says the London Saturday
Rerie'c. ANY friendship worth the
name Is predcstiBed and foreordain-
ed affair. Ii is not matter of ration
al choice but rather of magnetism and
temperament. We make pleasant ac-
quaintances by exercising sclf-control,
generosity and courtesy; but friend
Is found, not made. Friendship is un-
changing and eternal in It's very es-
scncc. 1t can bear friction. annoyance
or pain and yet spring up again with
even new vitality. Such friendship Is
a gift Of the gods and ii Is not COM
monty found. People talk lightly aud
carelessly enough of their friends,
when they do not know the meaning
Of the word, when they are not them
solves the stuff that friends are made
Of, and know not the strength and de-
votion aud sacrifice that the word COM
prehends. To exchange calls to be
members of the same church; or to
have views in common regarding the
Wagner operas and Ibsen dramas, Is
by no means friendship. There are
plenty of people, fitted out with sub
stantial qualities and pleasing attrib-
utes, who dill well the place Of acquaIn-
tcnces. OF friends, In any genuine
sense, one can inevitably have but few.
Even one Is quite enough to make life
beautiful aud redeem It from materi-
alism. And even one is moro than,
perhaps, the majority Of people
possess. That life is rich which holds
one perfect friendship, in which mu-
tual sympathy is almost mutual clair
voyance, and in which sacrifice would
be a personal luxury, IL done for the
good Of one another. Trust and ten
derness arc the two factors OF this
finest and most sweet of social rela-
tions. It's strength Is the one great
stimulus Of life; IL is inspiration. We
can do for our friends that which we
could not do for ourselves; we can
rise with him, or for him, to heights
otherwise unknown.
