She is Now Confined in the Insane
Asylum at Stockton.
STOCKTON, March IL Sarah Althea
Terry was brought here this morning by
Deputy Sheriff Fiddler of San Francisco
and Mrs. Winkler. matron of the Sheriff's
Office. The trip up was uneventful Mrs.
Terry seemed to be intensely spiteful to-
ward Mrs. Winkler, and when an oppor-
tGnity presented kicked her. When the
train reached here at O'Clock, Mrs. Terry
walked to the platform of the car and
then took firm hold of the hand-railing,
and refused 10 step down. She did not
know that Lathrop, the station dining
room where Judge Terry was killed, had
been destroyed by fire a few weeks ago,
aud when the train stopped here She
thought she was at Lathrop, and from
the car platform she spoke to the large
crowd assembled and said:
Gentlemen, three years ago my hus-
band was shot here. This is a job Of Mann
Iaie PleaSance."
Fielder and officer Welch of this CITY
took hold of her arms, loosened her hold
on the rails and led her to a carriage.
Sae resisted some, but the officers forced
Ter into hack and got inside with her.
hen Mrs. Winkler, the Matron, entered
the carriage, and all of Mrs. Terry's tenn
and struck at her, but was quieted by the
men. Mrs. Terry called for Sheriff Cum
nlngham, but he was not there
On the way TO the asylum she made the
time rather unpleasant for Mrs. Winkler,
and took oil her shoe to strike the Ma
tTon. She then gave the female attendant
\ sharp prod with pin at the door of the
big State institution. MIR. Terry re-
newed her attacks on the Matron, but
was assisted out of the hack. With a
parting kick at the Matron she stepped
into the grounds.
She was led up stairs to the inside door,
and was at once surrounded by dozen
female attendants and the Matron of the
asylum. Turning to the open doorway,
Mrs. Terry asked: Are you satisfied /
suppose you are satisfied now that YOU
have got me in the asylum ?''
The unfortunate woman presented a sad
picture. Her face was pinched and
flushed. and her hair was disheyeled. her
hat being far back on her head. Her
dress was mussed, and the long, dragging
train was dirty, giving the poor woman
the appearance of one who was entirely
careless of her looks.
The attendants seemed to show mo-
mentary fear of the woman, whose life
has been so tragic, but the matron did
not prolong the scene. Advancing to
seat the patient, the nation said quietly,
Now, come with us, Mrs. Terry"
mo, FL sit here" she answered. as
she laid her shoulders back against the
wall, Il want to see Sheriff Cunning
ham,"
You must come with us, Mrs. Terry,'
said the matron with a little more firm
ness, and several attendants took hold OF
the patient and led her back To the re-
ceiving ward, and the big white door
closed on Sarah Althea Terry in the mad
house.

CHICAGO, March 11.-Hon. Henry Wat
terson, in an authorized interview to-
day, virtually called upon Cleveland to
withdraw from the Presidential race
Watterson said the nomination of the ex-
President would be suicidal for the DEM
ocratic party. Hill, too, he believed, had
dug his own political grave in New
York, and he regards the conflict there as
practically irreconcilable. The party, he
says, must go West for a candidate, or
seek him in Massachusetts, Pennsyl-
vania or Maryland.
In practically calling upon Mr.. Cleve-
land to withdraw, Watterson rather
scored that gentleman. Mr.. Watterson
said: 81 never indulge very much in
any hero worship, and any good Demo-
crat who the National Convention may
see fit to nominate will suit me. If had

UNIVERSITY EXTENSION.
The Great Work Of the American So
cietY-ItS Results.

ctety-ItS Results.
The work of the American Society for
the Extension Of University Teaching is
practically and Intentionally OF the ma
ture of an object lesson to the United
States on the successful organization and
conduct of university extension. The
society now carries on extension work in
five States, and two more are organizing
under its direction. These seven States
present almost every conceivable variety
of equipment, culture, financial condi-
ton and local popularity. Out of the or
gani2ation of work under such varying
condition, the society is gathering a ricn
store Of wisdom and experience for the
benefit of any city or locality desiring to
start extension work. From q wide eX-
perience in city, town and village: with
and without the nucleus of some existing
institution; IN Localities ranging in general
culture from the university town to the
simple farming district; with methods OF
financial support, including the gifts of
single individuals, a guarantee fund
formed by several persons or by some
society, popular subscription, or simple
vertisement and self-supporting course
the great fundamental principles under
lying successful organization, are being
slowly evolved.
The results OF its experience the Amer
lean Society places at the disposal of any
college, individual or society desiring to
undertake extension teaching. From the
report Of the first year, and the estimate
for the coming season, it appears that in
carrying on this national experiment, the
American Society in its two years OF ex-
istence viii have expended, including
the expense of local centers, no less than
SAC, 900, nearly all of which, with the ex-
ception of lecturers fees paid by local
centers, has been given by predetermined
citizens of Philadelphia. Another illus

No-License Gains In NTassachusetts.

No-License Gains In Massachusetts.
With the voting yesterday December
18TH in Boston, Worcester, Lynn and
Newburyport, all of the Massachusetts
cities have held their annual elections.
The issue of liquor licenses is voted upon
every year, and the total is quite different
from that of last year. Then twenty of
the twenty-eight cities in the State voted
for license, but this year they are divided.
sixteen for license to twelve for no-li-
cense. Every city which was for no.
license last year stands on the same side
this year, and the no-license people haye
also carried Worcester, New Bedford
Hayerhill and Eitchburg. The aegre-
gate vote in all the twenty-eight cities
leaves the no-license side s,274 ahead.
This is remarkable change. But the
vote in Boston is as surprising as il is
for the State outside. Last year it was
20, l59 yes to 1890 no. This year it was
q, ,63T yes to q $40 no. The yes majority
of is, ,249 was reduced TO 4,327. The re-
markabie fact about this is the temper
ance people did not work as much as
usual, except in two or three wards in
the south part of the city. 1t was the adj
vice of the older heads that the money he
saved to carry as many of the towns as
possible for no-license at their spring
elections. SO experienced an observer as
Henry I'll. Faxon attributes a material
part of the change to the jealousy of un-
successful applicants for liquor licenses.

HOW TO MAKE RAIN.

To the Editor OF the Eagle.
wish to submit to the many readers
of your esteemed paper, plan for the
production of rain. We all acknowledge
the Importance OF this problem, for on
its practical solution depends the pros
perity Of hundreds of thousands of our
people. IL there was lack OF moisture
overhead, it would be beyond human
device to supply rain. As there is al
ways plenty of moisture overhead, even
in summer, when the rainfall is the
least, we can hope for an early discovery
OF some plan to produce rain, that VIII
lie a success.
Many men seem TO think that the
making of rain is something to be left
entirely 10 the Almighty; but in this
matter as in all others, what mankind
can do depends entirely on The amount
of skill and intelligence he brings to
bear on the subject. After thousands of
years, man drove back the sea in Hol-
land, tunneied the Alps. bridged almost

After scientists and students had dis

other valuable inventions.
From past experience, al practical
men expect success of anv undertaking

HISTORY OF SILVER IN AMERICA.

The following brief history Of silver
as a circulating medium in the United
States, taken from the Denver Press,
while containing some points that will
be new to many, will be of interest to
all just now:
Under the act of 1892 free coinage of
gold and silver was first established, the
ratio being 10 grains of silver to l of
gold. This gave silver too high value
and it drove gold out of the country, and
unsettled values. In 1905 President JEFF
ferson suspended the coinage Of the
silver dollar. In 1884 congress changed
the ratio to 16 ounces of silver to l of
gold. This lower valuation Of the in
ferior metal had the effect of driving
silver out of tie country, and in turn
gold became practically the basis OF cir
culatlon. The free coinage of silver
was stopped in 1854, President Franklin
Pierce signing the bill-the first instance
in the history of the country in which
silver was practically demonetized-
the act of 1873 being the second. Less
than $4,000, 600 of silver were coined
from 1892 TO 1878, about the amount
now added every two months to our
circulation

THE BLOODY SHIRT IN THE SOUTH.

Hon. w. j. Stone, who represents the
First district of Kentucky in congress, is
a one-legged Confederate soldier. but the
chief point made against him by the
gentlemen who are running around his
district trying to get delegates Instructed
for them while he is in Washington at
tending to the duties which the people
elected him to attend to, is that lie has
secured the passage Of some thlrtT-odd
special acts granting pensions to disabled
Federal soldiers ia his district. Ii IS
hoped that Mr.. Stone will be renoml-
mated by his party, not particularly be-
cause he secured the passage of these
acts, but because his course in regard
10 them shows that he has the generous
and liberal spirit of true soldier.
In 1886 Captain Stone defeated for re-
election the worst denagogue and po-
litical blatherskite that ever sat in con-
gress, who went in on the granger tide
in 1880 and succeeded in holding it for
three terms. Stone is a real farmer and
is q good and successful one, and Is the
best representative the Gibraltar district
has had for twenty-five years. The dis
trict is hopelessly Democratic.
