PHYSICAL Efforts on Morals.

One of the signs of process in this

cal reform of the criminal. HeiS more

the community must be protected for
a specified time. He is Il human being
whose fall is due to outside influences

ment are responsible. The Intelligent
outside world recognizes how lnp"sSl-
bic it is for such inheritances, how such
nuture, to produce Il different factor III
the social economy. How, even at this
late date, shall the work of reformation
be begun? Confinement for given

By implanting in them a seed which
shall root out the evil tendency BY

for crime: ignorance of head and hands

implant a knowledge of that necessity

the way has been opened, a path cut

good of all. If every child were taught
obedience and self.contrOl, if it were
taught the interdependence of every
human life, how the happiness Of the
race depends on the character of its in-
dividuals, a new day would dawn on

COFFMAN'S HIDING PLACE.

He Says He Left Sacramento for Self
Protection-More Abuse
of His Family.

Sheriff Stanley has heard from fugitive
Franklyn III. Coffman, but as yet he has
been unable to lay hands on him.

ist who refused to obey the order of Su-
perior Judge Van Fleet to support his
children. Coffman's wife sued him for
divorce, and he fought the case bitterly.
succeeding i'll preventing the separation.
Still he would not live with his wife, nor
would he contribute anything toward
her support or that of the children.
When this condition of affairs was pre-
sented to Judge Van Fleet, that official
gave Cofman five days in which to paw
what he had been ordered to pay for the
support of the children, with the alterna-
tive of going to Jail.
When the time was up and Coffman
had not obeyed the order, Sheriff Stanley
went after him, only to learn that his in
tended prisoner had gone to parts un-
known.
On Saturday the Sheriff received a let
ter from Coifman. The machinfst had
cunningly forwarded the letter to some
friend here, who mailed it to the Sheriff
from the Sacramento Postolfice. In this
way the officer was prevented from ascer-
tanning Coifman's whereabouts.
In the letter Cofl'man renews his abuse
of his wife and children, the court. the
newspapers and everybody in general.
Among other things he says: 81 am the
fourth husband in her family that has
passed through the same mill. One of
her sisters had such severe breaking up
with her second husband that she landed
in the insane asylum at Lincoln, Neb."
He says he simply left Sacramento for
'selfprotection, but says nothing about
when he intends TO come back again.u

Programme in the Senate and House
for the Coming Week.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-There are in
dications that this week will be notable
in Congressional annals as one in which
political issues will be made up. In the
House there may be an alignment of
members on the silver question, and it is
probable in the Senate will be defined the
economical policy of the Democrats as a
sequence Of the programme adopted by
the majority in the house.
The bill providing for public printing
and binding, which is the pending busi-
ness III the senate, will probably be at
tackled in the section creating the office of
uperintendent of Public Documents.
and indeed, the Democratic Senators are
disposed TO question the statements made
by the majority of the committee to the
effect that the entire bill is in the interest
Of economy. The measure is expected to
occupy several days.
The bill to prevent the adulteration and
misbranding of food and drugs stands
next in order of measures to be con-
sidered, but it is possible it may be an
tagoniZed by the contest case of Clagett
VS.. Du Bois.
Mr.. Vest may call up his bill providing
for the erection OF public buildings for
postoffices in towns and cities where the
receipts exceed $1,000 annually. The
urgent deficiency bill will also be called
up at the first opportunity.
1t is probable the subject of appropria-
tions will be the principal topic of discus
sion in the House during the week, un-
less the silver question is forced to the
front. Tomorrow Will be suspension"
day, and there are several bills on the
calendar which their friends believe can
secure the two-thirds vote necessary for
their passage.
Chairman Wise of the Committee on
Interstate Commerce will endeavor to
pass the bill to permit the railways to
give special rates to commercial travellers
1t is the intention of the Indian Affairs
Committee to call up the Indian appro-
priation bill early in the week Friday
will be devoted to private claims, unless
the subject of appropriations should in
terfere with the ordinary procedure.
The Rules Committee has several reso-
lutions before it, and the proceedings of
the committee will be of special interest,
in view of the fact that one resolution is
that introduced by Bland, making the
silver bill the special continuing order in
the House. The silver men are striving
to have the order reported at an
early day. Should there ssbe much
delay in the Rules Committee.
the fight will be precipitated. without
awaiting the action by the Rules Com
mittee, on request to make the silver
bill special order.

STOCKTON, Feb. 14.-Constable Hawes
and County Assessor Luddy of Calaveras
County paid this city visit yesterday
and while driving into the city Hawes saw
the man who is supposed to be the stage
robber so badly wanted by the Calaveras
officers. The man, whose name is Felix
McClelland, saw the officer at the same
time and attempted to get away by going
through a saloon near by, but Hawes
overhauled him and placed him under
arrest. The Constable went with the
prisoner to Sheriff Cunningham's office
and there McClelland was closely ques-
toned, but he declared he was not the
robber and could prove an alibi.
Hawes feels certain that he has arrested
the right man, for he has seen him before
and since the first meeting has been Sc
curing evidence in the case.
The Mokelumne Hill and Valley
Springs stage was stopped on the 7th of
January at point about three miles
from MOkelumne Hill. The robber had
a shotgun and was dressed so he could be
easily identified, with long overcoat and
stripped pants. A week after HaWeS and
Z. W. Getchell of San Andreas and a
party Of Stockton hunters ran across Nc
CleIland m the brush a few miles from
the scene of the robbery. The stranger
had an old shotgun, and said he was out
quail-hunting, but he had no ammuni-
tion. Hawes and Getchell took the gun
and carried it home with them, as they
had no evidence that McClelland was the
highwaynlan.

berry the stage was again stopped at the

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 14.-Many news
papers IN the East have commented on
young Fairs death, and the general con-
clusion is that his treatment under the
Kelley system was the direct cause of his
death. The Ad0ertise7 says: 1t has been
shown in scores of instances that the So
called keeley cure is a fraud. a number
of deaths have been directly traced TO it,
and no case of the permanent cure of a
drunkard has been shown; that Kelley
has sobered up number of dip
somaniacs is true. The same thing is
done in our hospitals every day
SO long as Kelley keeps his patent
remedy a close secret, he must be branded
as a quack, and as long as he fails to
show good results from his mysterious
and weird remedy he must be regarded
as a shameless cheat and swindler.
