FERNALD is VERY FOXY.
HIS RECORD IN THE EAST Is
DISCLOSED.
In Boston He Elopsd with His Aunt.
Something About His Other
Female vIctIms-A va
rled Career.

Captain Lees yesterday received in
formation from the east, says the San
Francisco Chronicle, which throws light
on the past career of Walter Guy Fer
nald, who is now jointly held with Mrs.
X. @. Garner and her son, Harry Earl.
on charge of stealing $40 900 worth OF
diamonds from Simon Jacobson at 1427
Howard street. Fernsld has played
ehort engagements in Boston, Hot
Syringe, Ark, and New Orleans, and
left each place at the request OF the
authorities.
Fernald went to Boston in 1890 and
secured position as night clerk at the
Parker hotel, which Was conducted by
his uncle, George Mann. After he had
been there few months he made the
acquaintance OF a wealthy young lady
from the west, who was q guest OF the
house, and proceeded to apply his
Establishments to ner. He was success
full in his suit, and eventually became
80 intimate with the young woman that
ehe was compelled to return to her home
to save her reputation.
After the young woman left Boston
she wrote to Fernald requesting the
the return of number of COM
promising letters that ahe had written
him. Fernald then tried to blackma all
her by writing that the letters had
been stolen from him and that the
holder demanded $1,000 for the return Of
each. Fernald was gu bsequently forced
to give DIP the letters.
Before the excitement caused by his
first adventure in Boston had iairly
died away, Fernald startled the COM
munity with another sensation. One
morning his indulgent uncle awoke to
find that his wife and his night clerk
were missing. The simultaneous dis
appearance of the two was reported to
the police. with the result that it was
discovered that they had sailed for
Europe.
Fernald spenta few months travelling
on the continent with his companion
and then returned 10 the United States.
He was next heard of at Hot Springs,
Ark, where he obtained q position 90
night clerk in one OF the leading hotels.
His soiourn there was short, however,
as the police made it 80 uncomfortable
for him that he left the city and went
to New York.
Fernsld landed in the Crescent City
in November, 1891. His genteel man
ners and dignifed bearing made him
popular, and it was not long until he
was introduced into one of the leading
social clubs OF the city. AS soon as he
has cultivated the acquaintance of the
members sufficiently he asked one of
them to cash check for a few hundred
dollars on the New Hampshire Trust
company OF Manchester, N. H.. Stimuli
taneously Herewith he passed forged
letter of credit for 1900 francs, purport-
ing to have been issued by Monroe &
Co., bankers of Paris.
Fernald was arrested on charge OF
vagrancy, and an effort was made to
hold him on two charges of forgery, but
evidence was hard to get, and at last he
was released.

Is 1t Ignorance or Malice?

The following statement, born of either
gross ignorance or malice, was made in
congress ON the 5th inst. by Mr.. Hep
burn of Iowa and 1t was clinched and
sent out by the endorsement of the
Evening Express. Falsehoods which
are patent on their face, seldom need q
refutation, but as this comes from a Re.
publican congressman and is accentuated
by local Republican editor it deserves
notice. Here follows the congress.
mans deliverance:
Hepburn (Rep.) of Iowa declared that
the confederate states contributed not
81 to the payment of pensions of the
$3.50, 600, 600 internal revenue taxes the
south paid less than IS, 900, 900: of S177,-
600 900 customs receipts the eouth paid
but 81 900. 900; of miscellaneous receipts
less than $2,000,000. "So," said he, ad-
dressing the southern members, ''you
contribute less than SIS .000,U0U to the
revenues of the government. How do
you get that back? Nine millions re-
turns as sugar bounty, $4,000, 900 in pen.
eions and 100000 as the deficit in
postal receipts. You, therefore, receive
back $3,000,000 more than you contrib.
ute. You contribute not cent to north
ern pensions. What difference does it
make to you what we do with our own
money!" Republican applause.
There is hardly schoolboy that does
not know that the above ia absolutely
false.
In the year 1892 the confederate states
exported to Europe. in the articles OF
cotton and tobacco, $2S3, 200, 664. They
certainly received from Europe an
equivalent in coin or goods. This coin
or those goods came through the United
States custom house and paid the tariff,
and this tariff pays the pensions as we'll
as other government expenses.
Without neing able to give the exact
dollars and cents we will say that the
southern states furnish one-third of our
entire volume Of exports, and hence fur
nish one-third otour imports. The fact
that the great bulk of those imports
comes through northern custom houses
does not alter the fact that southern
products paid for-one-third of them.
10 say the south pays no part of the
pensions, because only small part of
our tariff is collected in southern ports,
would rule out Indiana and all other
northern states which have within their
limits no ports Of entry, from any con-
tribution towards footing the $l62, ,OOO,-
600 to be paid this year for pensions.
Ii the south paid no part of the PEN
sion appropriation she would be so gem
erous and liberal as to say to the north
ern states, go ahead and pension every
man who wore the blue, even if he had
only smelt gunpowder while shooting
rabbit in the land of Dixie during the
war. JOHN SHIRLEY WARD.

Psychology.

The new science of psychology will
determine the mental laws exactly-the
laws of the individual and of society
the laws of aesthetics, of education, Of
ethics and of every human faculty.
1t will compel men to live by these
laws, because it will make them plain
to all men-as plain as the law of gray
ity. The world will then go forward
because it will see how. We shall then
have a higher manhood, because its
type will be clear to US. We shall
have new art and new literature, be.
cause we shall know the secrets of beau
ty. Its standards shall be broader in
proportion as they shall be truer. We
may then efficiently love our unfortu-
nate brother by knowing how to make
him lovable, and how to make life low
able to. him. Psychology will secure
to man wealth and art, wisdom and
happiness, by making man capable of
them. Psychology will make education

| Weather Bureau.
The local weather bureau furnisheI
the following crop bulletin for the week
ending Monday:
General rain fell the latter part of the
week, but heavier in the southern and
eastern districts than elsewhere The
precipitation fell in the best possible
manner to do the most good, as it came
in slow, steady form, where every drop
told and penetrated the ground to a
much greater depth than had occurred
before this season; it was not followed
by drying northerly winds. The rain
fall was sufficient in most of the die-
trictH7 to be of material good, and the
prospects have improved accordingly
and with more rain and warmer weather
in the course of the next few weeks,
farmers feel that crops will be made.
The temperature continued to range be-
low the averages, especially between
March 1st and 4th, and on the I'd hail
and light snow fell in several places,
but without doing damage.
SAN LUIS oBIsPo COUNTY.

desired. This snowstorm was the first
in 16 years.
SAN BERNARDINo COUNTY.
Chino-Forty-seve hundredths of an
inch of rain fell on the I'd and Sd, but
a good soaking rain is much needed by
the beet ranchers. Beet planting is GO
ing on steadily.
RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
Riverside-The rainfall for the storm
just over amounted to three-quartera OF
an inch, enough to give grain splendid
start; more in two or three weeks will
ensure abundant crops.
South Riveraide-The weather ia
somewhat warmer and grain shows the
effects of even the recent light rains.
Winchester-Tree planting and other
Improvements are going ON in all parts
of the valley.
ORANGE COUNTY.
Anaheim-The long expected rain
yielded so of an inch, enough at pres-
ent to put beet lands in good condition
for planting. 1t also helped barley ma

two good crops may be expected,
SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
Escondido-The rainfall Of one inch
came in the best possible way, falling
gently for several days with short inter
missions, which allowed it to soak thor
oughly into the ground. The prospects
are bright for large crops.
Dernardo-The rainfall of one inch on
the I'd and Sd was great help to crops
and relieved the anxiety felt by many as
to the probability of a dry season.
