THE MOON AT NANTUCKET.
John Paul Prefers Her Old Style t
the Modern Electric Light.

Oh. moon! this Is rough
Wasn't your light enough2
BY it we often thought
Folks saw more than they ought.
But whate'er they might think
You knew when to wink;
And when two people walked
Together and talked
Not obtrusively loud,
And three were a crowd
If there were a small cloud.
Behind it you'd glide
DlScreetly. and hide.
And, moon, we all knew
Things We're quite safe with you,
That howe'er you might peep
Still secrets you'd keep.
And what lovers might say
Meier disclose to the day.
But TINS cold -blooded light
Is so dreadfully bright,
Outshining the sun,
Showing more than is done,
With its radiance new
Loves young dream dyeing blue.
Making all seem askew;
And lending nc veil
When one whispers the tale
From the skies that was told
When the heavens unrolled;
That in Eden was sung
When its morning w,ts young
BY birds on the trees
Before men on their knees
Came maidens to tease
Now as we'll our desire
Might be told from some spire
BY the. horrid town crier.
And maidens no more
Sit and wait on the shore.
Yes. moon, it Is true
That we better liked you:
You were quite quantum suff,
Your light was enough
And we can but feel gruff,
For. oh moon, this is rough.

BURNED IN HIS CABIN.
A Mexican Perishes i'm the Flames
Near San Jose.

SAN JOSE. Feb. u.-Joseph Malino. a.
Mexican woodchopper, was burned to
death in his hut Saturday night on the
ranch of Louis Mann, five miles beyond
CupertinO. MallnO's remains were found
this morning and Coroner Secord at once
went to the scene and held an inquest
The testimony showed that Malino was
drunk on Saturday night, and retired to
his cabin with a COMPANION, Augustine
Casino, who was also drunk. During The
night the fire occurred and Malino was
frlghtfully burned. and in his frenzy tore
portions of the skin from his arms. Cas-
tino. who was not badly burned, succeeded
in escaping from the place, but was too
drunk to remember anything that hap
pened. Mrs. Mann saw the fire during the
night and looked out and asked what was
the matter. Maino replied that everything
was all right, so ii is supposed that he
must have gone back into the burning
cabin after that time and received the
burns. and in q frenzy dashed down the
gulch to the place where the mutiIa ed
body was found. The Coroner's jury found
a verdict of accidental death.

ANOTHER DEACON BROKE.
Amos Virgin of Del Monte Arrested
for Various BurgIarieS.

for Various BurgIaries.
Sheriff j. +. Matthews of Monterey
County called at the City Prison last even
ing with Amos Virgin, who is wanted in
Monterey for assault to murder. He was
arrested in Petaluma on Saturday after
noon.
Sheriff Matthews has evidence in the
shape of money and property of the fact
that Virgin committed the numerous re-
cent burglaries in Monterey County.
He is contractor in Del Monte Grove
and is highly connected. AS he was prom.
inently identified with church work no one
had the slightest suspicion that he was
daring criminal. What led TO the disrov-
cry of bis crimes was a wound he received
In one of his burglaries.
About week or so ago the residence Of
George d. Carless, Del Monte Grove, was
entered during the night MIR. Carless
surprised the burglar and both used their
revolvers. Mr.. Carless was shot twice,
and he insisted that he wounded the
burglar. The day after it was noticed
that Virgin walked with limp, and he
explained that he had fallen from lad
der. On Friday he visited doctor and
slated that he had run a pitchfork through
his leg and wanted the wound dressed.
The doctor discovered that the wound was
inflicted by bullet and not ty a pitch
fork, aid this soon became known. Of
ficers went 10 Virgins house to arrest
him, but he had fad. On searching his
house they found pair of underdrawers
with a bullet hole through them and
that be had gone to Petaluma and his ar
rest followed.
Sheriff Matthews will leave with his
prisoner this morning.
