JUST LIKE A BROTHER.
Mrs. Pearson Denies That She
EIOped From Tnlare.
She Merely Fled From Brutal Husband
and Asked Young Higgins, Brother
salvationist, to Protect Her

BY virtue of a telegram from Deputy
Sheriff Murray Of Tulare, Detective Dan
Coffey went to the American Exchange
Hotel yesterday afternoon and arrested
runaway couple. They were Henry c.
Higgins, aged IS years, and Mrs. Jessie
Pearson, who is his seSSSE hy q rsaEs
Jessie and her SiX-year-Old girl were given
quarters in the City Prison Hospital. while
Henry was put in CELL What makes the
story more interesting is the fact that the
alleged clippers were members Of the Saliva
ton Army of Tulare.
Both give very plausible explanations for
coming to this city together, but they could
not explain away the fact that they were
registered at the American Exchange as
I'll. C. Higgins, wife and child"
Higgins is a cook, and joined the Salvation
Army year ago, about the same time that
Mrs. Pearson and her husband enlisted in
the ranks. II was coming to San Fran

and concertna, and told all my friends
that would be back in Tulare by Satur-
day. | was wanted there that day to cook
for a banquet. On the train | met Mrs
Pearson, and she asked me 10 go with her
and take care Of her during her stay IN this
city. She was on the way 10 her mother, In
Texas, and was to keep her company until
she received enough money to leave the
city. | thought nothing of going to the
hotel with her, because we were old friends,
aud l had frequently stopped at her house
in Tulare. After we arrived here she tuld
me she was leaving her husband because he
treated her cruelty and had threatened to
kill her.
Mrs. Pearson is very small woman, with
sharp, tlOrid features and sandy hair. When
questioned she denied having had any in
tention to elope with young Higgins.
with my husband" said she, II joined the
Salvation Army a year ago. Recently he
was so brutal to me that l decided to take
my little girl and go to my mothers home
in Alonz0, Tex. My departure from
Tulare was no secret. | told the cap

my intention. If my husband desired
to stop ne lie had ample opportunity
Of doing so before l reached this city. AS
for Higgins have always regarded him as
brother aud nothing more. He was
good friend Of mine and that is why APP
pealed to him for protection on the train.
They may compel me to return to Tulare, but
/ shall never live with my husband again.
He has been too unkind and harsh to ever
expect my forgiveness"
Mrs. Pearson did not appear - think for
a moment that she might be the ono TO ask
for forgiveness.
Inquiry at the Salvation Army head
quarters asst night elected the fact that
neither Higgins nor Mrs. Pearson were
known as members of the army and they
could not give any information about them.

toward the top Of the incline plane, GER
tainly q very curious spectacle so FAR as the
laws of gravltati0n are concerned, which,
however, is explained by the fact that
through The gradual widening OF the angle
the double cone passes over boards at a
gradual decreasing distance from its ends,
whereby the center of gravity is abased,
which conforms perfectly with the laws Of
gravity.
This seeming departure from the ordinary
laws OF gravity has caused pretty little
parior game to be constructed, which is
sort of roulette, or wheel Of fortune. The
TWO side boards form certain angle and
the double cone is provided at Its common
base with set Of notches resembling
waterwheel. Each notch corresponds with
a number painted on the surface plane Of
the cone in red or black color, and corre-
spending also with the numbers on tue cards
held by the players.
AS soon as the cards are distributed the
wheel is started at the bottom of the In
clined plane and, left to Itself, it ascends
rapidly. The nOtches oscillate over the
little wire trapeZe suspended from two
vertical poles, and the wheel will not cease
to rotate until the horizontal bar Of the
tTapeZe has securely fallen into the groove
between the notches. The number is then
read off, and the winner is he who holds
the corresponding card. Either the numbers
or the colors can be played.
@Ibe wheels rolls UP 10 the top with sufii-
Gent rapidly to cause a shock as II meets
the trapeze. Thus shock after shock is i'm
parted to the wheel by the trapeZe. causing
the former to rotate until the horizontal bar
drops into the slot Just as it happens 10
present Itself to the latter in the act Of
rotating. There is no possibility OF trick
cry, as is the case with so many games Of
hazard of this character

at the Metropolftan Temnle.


There was rair-sized audience in the
Metropolitan Temple last night, the occa-
sion being testimonial benefit rendered to
DR.. n. f. Ravin by the Society Of Progress
siYe SprituaIists. President Dodge was in
the chair and opened the proceedings by
briefly referring to the object of the gather
ing and introducing a young lady who
played selection of Scotch airs on the
piano. Mrs. Whitehead, secretary of the
society, then stepped on the platform and
gracefully unrolled q handsomely covered
parchment which contained series of COM
plimentary resolutions passed by the society
to DR.. Raylin on the occasion of his depart
ure from the city.
At this stage an incident occurred that did
not form part Of the programme. A gentle
man stood uD In the body of the hall and
moved that the resolutions be adopted. He
announced that he was rot member or the
society. and caused round OF applause by
expressing his opinion that it was ''the only
true faith" DR.. Ravlin made suitable re-
ply to the resolutions and the proceedings
closed with vocal and instrumental selec-
lions.

Electric Light on BattiefieIds.

The ubiquity of electricity is becoming
almost proverbial. From the brightest
spot on earth" to the blood stained battle
fields is rather far cry. but there is no
end to the application Of electricity. A
recent telegram from Austria described
some experiments Of great interest
which have recently been carried out
successfully there. The difficulty Of
searching for the wounded on the night
after great battle has been one which
has long occupied the attention of mill
tary reformers. and the army medical
service in Austria has been endeavorins
to determine how far the electric light
may be utilized for this humane end
The value of powerful search lights
with refiectors has been proved in naval
affairs, and at Suakim and elsewhere
soldiers have found them very effective
on open ground. They would be equal
ly effective under similar conditions for
assisting in picking up the wounded,
but when the battle has ragged over a
wide extent of country, or when the
fighting has occurred amid woods and
brushwood, the use Of this class Of light

this respect. The knowledge they
would gain would not in any sense inn
pair their womanliness, while their
participation in politics would tend to
increase the amenities OF partisan war
fare and would accomplish valuable re-
suits in enabling them to judge intelli'
gently in regard to matters that are OF
vital Importance to all citizens OF the
United States, regardless Of sex.
1t is natural that the sympathies OF
the best portion OF American woman
hood should be with the Republican
patry. In the prosperity of the home
and the school every true woman is in
tensely interested; and the Republi.
can party is emphatically the party OF
the home and the school. The policy
of that party, carried out in the face Of
bitter Democratic opposition, threw
open the west to settlement on the
most favorable terms to the pioneer,
and established throughout that grea,
region new empire OF homes
Wherever. the Republican party ID
strong school houses abound. Republic
canism and popular education go hand
in hand. As the especial champion Of
order, morality and enlightenment the
Republican party demands the support
of the good women of America.
In its economic policy the Republic
can party appeals no less strongly to
women. IL is cardinal principle OF
Republicanism that the wages of every
American workman should be main
tanned at a point which will enable
him to house his family well, to make
ample provision for the education OF
his children and surround his loved
ones with comforts unknown among the
oiling masses OF Europe. Republi.
canism would make every man king
in his own house, every woman queen
in her own home. That is why so
many women are hoping and working
today for Republican success.

Ancestors Of the Horse.

Some interesting facts about the geo.
logical ancestors Of the horse have been
made known by Professor Marsh. Vari-
Gus forms of horselike animals that lived
in America in those remote times known
to the biologists as the eocene, miocene
and pliocene epochs, and which may
have occurred millions Of years ago,
have been unearthed, and science has
not shrunk from the task of reconstruct
ing these animals from their fragment
airy remains.
The curiously interesting statement is
made by Professor Marsh that "the old
est ancestor of the horse-as yet undis-
covered-undoubted had five toes on
each foot and probably was not larger
than a rabbit, perhaps much smaller"
He even ventures to predict in which of
the geological strata this animal will
probably be found and suggests that it
be named "Hippops."
In modern times horse is occasion
ally seen which possesses extra toes,
thus showing the existence Of a slight
tendency, under certain conditions, to
revert to the peculiarities of its remote
ancestors.
This tendency is one of the proofs
which science has to offer that the noble
and beautiful animal, whose services
add so much to the powers and the en-
joyments of man, has really been devel-
oped from those queer beasts of ancient
times to which the biologists have given
such names as eohippus, orohippus, pro-
tohippus, miohippus and pliohippus.-
