JAILED FOR FORGERY.

Geo. w. Beck Works the Charitable
Widow Racket and is Detected.
George w. Beck, railroad man,
is now in the county Jail on the
charge of forgery, having been ar
rested by Detective James Bowen
this morning in police court, where
he was fined 81 for being drunk on
the street. His bond has been
fixed at 5000 by Justice Anton
Adam, which there is little pros
pect of his securing. For some time
past Beck has been selling tickets
for the rattle of gold watch, for 80
cents each, supposed to have been
for the aid Of Mrs.W. +. Bovd, Mrs.
Robert w. White and Mrs. w.
K. Ford, whom Beck claimed were
the widows of brakemen, and in
destitute circumstances A number
Of citizens purchased tickets will
lingly, with charity in their minds.
After Mrs. Boyd's alleged rattle
had taken place, these citizens were
again asked to aid Mrs. White,
which they did. Mrs. Whites rattle
had cl osed and Beck circulated
tickets for the benefit of Mrs. Ford.
Suspicion was then aroused which
led to an investigation, and later
the imprisonment of the victim
above named.
For each rifle Beck displayed to
the charitable citizens, a letter
supposed to have been signed by
NJ. J. Mulligan, yard master at the
Southern Pacific, but when the
facts were stated to Mr.. Mulligan,
he denied ever having signed such
documents. This led to the charge
of forgery which was preferred.
Beck is a railroad man and is a
member Of the Brotherhood of
SWitChmen.

NEGROES AS MECHANICS.
They Would Tse Successful If Their High Notions of Liberty Did Not Interfere.

They Would Be Successful If Their High
 Notions of Liberty Did Not Interfere.
 Can the negro be trained as me- chanic, or is he by nature adapted to other work than that of an unskilled laborer? The question may confidently be answered in the affirmative, says ex- Gov. Lowry, of Mississippi, in the North American Review. While this answer cannot be successfully contro- verted, and while it may have ma terial bearing on the prosperity of the southern states, yet it involves grave questions, the successful solution of which would tend to better under standing of the two sections of this great nation. The negro was held in bondage in all the colonies save one be- fore the adoption of the federal consti- tuition, and whether or not he was the prime cause of the greatest war of mod ern times it is unquestionably true that he regards his liberation as the result of that struggle. Prior to the war there were large number of negro me chanics in the southern states; many of them were expert blacksmiths, wheel wrights, wagonmalzers, brick masons, carpenters, plasterers, painters and shoemakers. They became masters of their respective trades by reason of sufficiently long service under the con- trol and direction of expert white me chanics. During the existence of slavery the contract for qualifying the negro as a mechanic was made between his owner and the master workman. Now the negro being, in his own words, a freed man." will not consent to re- straints. He cannot divest himself of the idea that apprenticeship in its most modified form is a species of slavery for a term of years. He may be assured of the relation of master and apprentice as it exists in almost every civilized coun- try; still he is slow to embrace it. He appreciates the advantages of superior skill, yet his teachings of liberty are to his mind inconsistent with the exer- cises of absolute and continued author itV over him.

4 Clever Countess.

Countess Tolstoi is an extremely clever woman intellectually, and one who is more than match for her hus- band in his arguments, writes Marya Menchil1of in the Ladies' Home Journal. She transcribes his books as they are written, as frequently as they are altered and revised, and in the case of the ''Kreutzer Sonata copied it four times before the book was finally completed. The countess, who is of necessity the financial manager of the family, has taken possession of the estate, which she administers for the good of her husband and children. She it was who issued, a few years ago, the cheap edition of Count Tolstoi's novels, on the royalties of which the house hold has been supported. To her firm ness and determination the credit for the home in which the family resides, as well as the blame-if such it be called-for her husbands failure to practice the doctrine of a community of goods, which he so earnestly advocates, must be given; and her realization that a home must be provided for the nine children who have lived of the sixteen born to them must be her excuse.

PERSIAN POETRY.
The Knowledge of That Language Pos
 sessed by British Officials.

| The Knowledge of That Language Pos
 sessed by British Officials.
 Sir Edward Strachey, in recent paper On Persian Poetry in the At lantic, speaks of the knowledge of that | language and literature required by an earlier generation of English officials in India:
 With the other institutions of the moguls we took over the use of Persian in all official business, and the munshi, or Persian secretary and interpreter, became a part of the staff of the Eng fish official in charge of political. rev enue and judicial business. The lan- guage of business was soon discovered to be tIle language of a new and fine literature; and volumes illustrate the enthusiasm which the magistrates, judges and collectors in OUT older provinces, and our administrators in those newly annexed, our political agents and residents in the native courts, and our military officers threw into these studies from the time when Warren Hastings set the example.
 But then a generation of speculative reformers arose, who asked why we should not act in the spirit of the mo- guls, and, instead of carrying On their method with literal servility, make English the official language, and so bring the several nations of India into a new and more intimate connection with our own literature and civiliza- ton. A retired Bengal judge expressed the general opinion of practical men when he said that you might as well make Sanscrit the official language in the courts of Westminster as Eng fish in the administration of justice in India.
 ''He, indeed, though a man of ability and eminence in the company's service, could see no inconvenience in the en- ployment of Persian in the administra- tion of justice; and such is the force of habit that when he had occasion to take notes of an important trial at the Somersetshire assizes he actually wrote them in Persian rather than in the Eng l;sh words in which the evidence was given, just as had done many years be- fore when trying dal1oits at Jessore.
 But though the general opinion of the native as well as the English off, cials was against any change, Lord Auckland, by the advice of Sir Charles Metcalfe, took what probably now seems to every one the obviously reason able course, and by his orders in 1887, finally confirmed in 1868 by the home government, all official business was to be carried on in the vernacular lan- guage of the country.
 Persian remained, and remains. the language of diplomacy. It is not re- quired in any other branch of the pub lie service; and it is not possible that men so hardworlzed as our Indian civil ians and soldiers now are should find time and energy for 8 purely literary study. They all fall back on their Homer and Horace; or, yet better, on their Shakespeare and Tennyson."

THE HEARING OF OWLS.
It Is Much Better Than Their Sense cz
 SmeIi.


 Smell.
 The hearing of all species of owls known to me is marvelously keen. says writer in the Popular Science Month | ly. so keen, in fact, that I know of no way of testing it, since it is much moro acute than that of man. If owls have the sense of smell am unable to find satisfactory evidence of it. have tired various experiments with them, hoping to prove that they could smell, but the results are all negative. They dislike putrid meat, but they bite it to ascertain it's condition. They will not eat toads or frogs which yield an un- pleasant odor, but they did not reject these species until they had tested them by tasting. They may be ever so hun gry, yet they do not suspect the pres ence of food if it is carefully covered so that they cannot see it. This test have applied with the utmost care to the great-horned, snowy and barred owls. The latter are shrewd enough to learn my ways of hiding their food, and when they suspect it's presence they will search in the places where have pre- viously hidden it, bouncing upon pieces of wrapping paper and pol1ing under feathers and excelsior with amusing cunning. I tested them with the fumes of camphor, ammonia and other disa- greeable and unusual smells, but they failed to show that they perceived them unless the fumes were strong enough to affect their breathing or to irritate their eyes. Finally I put a eat in basket and placed the basket between the two owls. They were utterly indif- ferent to it until the eat made the bas- ket rock, when both of them fled pre- cipitately and could not be induced to go near the basket again. Although Puffy will put cat to flight when on his mettle, Puffy is frightened al- most out of his wits by them. A Jap anese toy bird, made of piece of wood and few scarlet feathers, was eagerly seized by Puffy, indicating not only a lack of power of smell, but the pres ence of an appreciation of color. have fancied that an appreciation of color is also shown by barred owls in their ire quent selection of beech trees for nest ing places, by great-horned owls in their choice of brown trunked trees and by snowy owls in an apparent prefer ence for gray backgrounds.
