A Hero WOrshipor.

Hero is an instance of a touching, al.
though unbusinesslike, form of hero
worship: A distinguished landscape
painter once left his carpet slippers
behind him in the humble village lodg-
ing where for three months he had
lived and worked, and ''won the secret
Of moor, and hill. and dale" and per-
betuated it on canvas. His careful wife
at once sent for her husbands slippers.
His whilom landlady-fond. foolish
woman!-sent one slipper, begging, at
the same time, to keep the other as q
memento.-Pall Mall Budget.

Preparations for the Christening of
the Oregon and for the Accom-
modations of Guests.

All is In readiness at the Union Iron
Works for the launch of the great battle
ship Oregon, and at II :46 this morning. the
moment when the tide is the highest, the
mass Of iron and steel that comprises the
hull will slide from the ways into the
Pacific. A triumvirate of beauty Will assist
in launching and christening the ship, for

maiden would not be enough for this
momentous event, has sent three repre-
sentatives of the fair sex.

The steamer Ukiah and several other

SAILORS HARSHLY TREATED.
Third Mate of the Rontenburn Found
GUILTY. of Battery.

Thomas Moore, third mate of the British
ship Ronten burn, was before Judge Low
yesterday TO answer 10 a charge of battery
upon Julius Schloscher, one of the crew.
The vessel arrived here from Shields,
England, after a trip of 162 days. The
crew, sixteen in number. were shipped at
Shields for the round trip and would not
receive their pay until after the return trip
was made.
The testimony of some of the crew and
apprentices showed horrible treatment of
the crew by the officers. They were often
subjected to the effects OF Delaying pin
upon their heads, were kept at hard work
during the long voyage and had poor food
supplied to them, with the result that most
Of them suffered from scnrvy.
Since the vessels arrival in port most of
the men had deserted, in fact. it was said
that Schloseher was the only able-bodied
seaman left The evidence showed that
he was brutally bealen over the head with
a belaying-pin by Moore and he reported
the assault TO the British Consul on Mon
day last, but rs he could get no satisfac-
ton there be had a warrant sworn out for
M6ore's arrest.
The Judge found Moore guilty and re-
served his sentence until to-day.

FOUND THE DUST.
1t Was a POstOffiCe Porter
Who Had 1t.
Benjamin Cleveland Charged With
Stealing the Package-HIs Ex-
pIanation After Arrest.

The gold dust which was stolen from
has been found ST last, and the discovery
has led to the arrest of cOlored porter of
the Postoffice, calling himself Benjamin
Cleveland.
The suspected man was followed from
the Postoffice by Inspectors Irwin and
Thrall when be quit work, yesterday
afternoon. at o'clock, and his pursuers
did not stop until they saw him in his
room, at 267 Minna street. There they
also found about $500 worth of the missing
gold dust. and Cleveland was accordingly
taken in charge and locked up in the City
Prison.
Inspectors Irwin and 1hran have been
carefully working upon the case since the
matter was first reported, and have traced
the theft step by step. About S102 worth
of the dust had been disposed Of at the
Mint by cOlored woman named, as near
as can be ascertained, Susan Worrell. and
through that circumstance the suspicion
was fastened upon Cleveland.
Cleveland had made q number of at
tempts to sell the dust to pawnbrokerS,
and by that another clew was furnished.
When arrested yesterday it developed that
he had bank account Of about $50. He
is Georgia negro, and has been employed
about the PosIoffice for two years. part of
his duties being to clean up the registry de-
partment
Virtually Cleveland confessed to the In
spectOrs; that is, he told them he had
found the package of gold dust in the
"waste" when cleaning up.
The package was worth about 500. It
came from Hamburg, in this State, and
was consigned to the Selby Smelling
Works, on Montgomery street, reaching
the PostOffice here about A. n. Saturday,
September 80.
Clerk George S. Hayman, whose duty 1t
was to receive all such packages coming
through the mails and to afterward dis
tribute them to the carriers, remembered
receipting for it. but did not discover its
disappearance until he balanced up on the
following Tuesday. Monday having been
a holiday.
To the best of his recollection he re-
/ ceipted for it about IL A. NJ. on the day it
| came, and when he went to lunch Clerk
! Milton G. Sawyer, who takes the local
! packages at the counter, was left in
charge. The time-card showed that Su-
perintendent ID. c. Owen relieved Mr..
Sawyer al 1920 P. NJ.
AS soon as young Hayman became aware
/ of the loss of the package he reported it.
He is a Kentuckian. and had been clerk in
| the registry division for about year.
! The matter was turned over 10 acting
| Chief Inspector Irwin, and Mr.. Hayman
was temporarily relieved from duty, pend
ing an investigation. Subsequently he was
transferred to Station B at the new City
Hall.
For time Mr.. Hayman was placed in a
most painful position, and general odium
seemed to be thrown upon the entire regis
try division. but Inspector Irwin says that
from the very first the inspectors had no
suspicion of anybody connected with that
division. Mr.. Sawyer's absence from his
desk, when the matter was made public.
was accounted for by the explanation thai
he was enjoying a vacation. The arrest

Indeed Merrew is regarded as the very

PLEADING FOR CLARKE.

Selor as Anxious Curi9.
Counselor Alfred Clarke was once more
before the Superior Court yesterday.
Early in the morning he appeared before
Judge Sanderson and applied for writ of
habeas corpus. Judge Sanderson gave him
a hearing forthwith. but afterward de-
clined to pass upon his motion. Il think
you had better go before Judge Murphy of
Del Norte, MIR. Clarke" said the Judge.
"He originally committed you to jail for
contempt Of court and he will now hear
what you have to say in the matter" Ac-
cordingly the proceedings were reassigned
to Department 10.
The worthy counselor appeared before
Judge Murphy with his pride completely
humbled. He made 10 facetious remarks,
but implOred the court to remember that
he meant no disrespect, implied no con-
tempt. But his case was before tie Fed
eral courts, and, according to his view of
the law, such a proceeding tied the hands
of the Superior Court pendente lite.
Attorney A. j. Clunie appeared as ami
Gus curie and made an appeal to the court
in Clarke's behalf. He said that no doubt
the counselor had been hard pressed and
there we're reasons why he had not yet
filed the schedule of his assets and LA
biites. He was understood TO be paying
off his debts, and Clunie suggested that
the court should allow Clarke a little
further time to file his schedule and mean
time discharge the proceedings in con-
tempt.
Judge Murphy listened patiently, and
then promised 70 take the matter under
advisement. He ordered Clarke to appear
before him this morning at 10 o'clock.
mo, no. Mr.. Clarke" hastily exclaimed
the Judge as he saw the counselor getting
out his lawbooks again, "Pll hear no more
law. Come here tomorrow and I'll de-
eide yonI case. Meanwhile until then you
are remandsd to the custody of the Sheriff" F."
So the counselor went back to jail again.

ABOUT OATS,
Nine BushcI. Of Seed Oats nm Acre,


Press.
Most farmers would say that the
man who sowed nine bushels of seed
oats per acre had lost his head. But
still an Upper Oxford farmer, who
story. had an acre OF his field sowed
last week at that rate. He has here
tofore sown 9 to bushels per acre OF
oats and barley mixed and has had C
good yield-one year Y6 bushels per
acre. His field was in order for SOW
ing the fore part Of last week and he
gave directions to his sower-whose
services he secured for the work, hay
ing confidence in him as q good broad
cast man,-to put it on pretty thick
and went to attend to something else.
On returning to the field and viewing
tho ground he was impressed with the
Thought that the grain lay pretty tar
ma" thick and In examining the bag
found that the grain had been scat.
tered at the rate OF about nine bushels
on the acre that the sower had gone
over.
The farmer called halt and directed
that a bushel or two less DO sown. He
gives as n reason that no had not pre-
pared the ground for such heavy seed
Ing, but Is Of the belief that 1t is not
too much ON strongly fertllized
ground. He SONS barley with oats
and holds that when tho grain grows
up thick the barley, heading out first
and growing about two-thlrue the
height Of the oat. forms a kiud OF

liable to lodge as thinly sown grain.

August.
