A NEW REMBRANDT.

Cornelius ClaasZ Ansloo, which merits special
attention owing to Its heretofore unknown ex-
istence. The general public will take little
interest in the portrait OF the celebrated
preacher OF the Mennonite sect in Amsterdam,
as the majority who wander through the gal.
leries search for pictures with familiar sub
jects; for instance, as are most of the principal
paintings in the Dresden Gallery. But all
lovers OF art and connoisseurs will be attracted
to this picture and acknowledge It's beauty.
The fine collection of Rembrandts paintings
which the Berlin Gallery has possessed for
many years Will be greatly embellished by this
important work.
Rembrandt has painted the preacher, wear.
ing fur-lrmmed coat and wide. brmmed
hat, sitting by his books, receiving the visit OF
a lady dressed in mourning. By the pIaintve
features OF The woman and the friendly express
sion Of Ansloo, we imagine that this grieved
woman is SET King consolation from the
preacher, who Is comforting her with his whole
heart. The manner In which this touching
incident is repr. sented is extraordinary. The

GreenWald's Fate Left to
the Jury.
Close of the Evidence in the Trial of
ScaIper for the Forgery of
Railroad Checks.

Contrary to custom Judge Daingerfeld
and Jury sat all day yesterday in an en-
deavor to bring the trial OF Ticket-scalper
a. B. Greenwald to a close. As 1t was,
the evidence was all gathered in and the
case will be argued on tomorrow morning.
Mr.. Greenwald, brother of the accused.
was the first witness examined yesterday
He was a partner with his brother in the
purchasing of tickets, and was at first ar
rested on the forgery charge with his
brother, Whiteside and Andros. But as
1t Was represented that be was not the
prime mover in the scheme, the charge
against him was dismissed and yesterday
he appeared in court as a witness on be-
half of his brother.
Young Greenwald confessed on the
stand that he had made the first purchase
of the forged tickets from Andross and
Whiteside. He said there was nothing
whatever about them To excite suspicion,
the tickets were genuine. In answer 10
Ques tons of counsel Greenwad said that
be knew Andr0ss only by the assumed
name OF Ames.
In cross-examination Greenwald contra
dicted the testimony OF Detective Callun-
dan, who stated that when first the wit
ness was arrested his brother, the de-
fendant in this case, said: Don't take
my brother. I'm the man you want"
He said that nothing of the sort was said,
and that all that was asked of the de 'ec-
tive was that buth brothers should not be
arrested together, as their business would
be seriously impeded thereby.
Assistant District Attorney Hosmer
caused quito cOmmotloD in court by the
vigorous way in which he objected to the
witness manner of answering his ques-
tions. ''He is evading them" shouted
Hosmer. There was quite row over this,
but by and by things quieted do u; land the
case was resumed.
w. j. Mclaughlin and E. J. Morris, two
railroad clerks, testified that A b. Greene
valid had always borne good reputation,
and then the defendant took the stand in
his own behalf. He merely denied all
knowledge of any fraud, said he bought
the tickets from Whteside and Andross
in good faith and that he was no party to
their schemes. He said that the state
meuts made by Whiteside and Andross to
the effect that he had once requested them
TO ''fx up" some tickets for him for the
return Journey from Los Angeles to San
Francisco and also from this city to Port
land, Or. were all lies.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
judgment of the court below sustain ing
the demurrer of Jacob Liebes to the SUIT
brought against Liebes Brothers & Co.
by the London and Lancashire Fire In

The action dates from November, 1890,
when Liebes Brothers store was par

sum of S2500, add with fifteen other COM
paDies as well. making a total insurance
carried of $50, 800. The proofs of loss as
sworn to by Jacob Liebes, as represent
ing the firm. claimed loss of $65, 705 60
by the fire. In support of this claim /:
was represented that on January /, 1890.
the firms stock of merchandise on hand
was of the value of $92.442 81; that be-
tween January l and the date of the fire
they had purchased cigars and mer-
between the same dates their sales
amounted TO $780, 481 49, of which
$44, 432 Is represented the profits.
In accordance with this showing the in
surance company paid up the $500 due on
the policy as the full amount thereof. But
afterward the company accused liebes
Brothers of making fraudulent statements
of their loss, charging by an elaborate
process of mathematical calculation that
the loss amounted to only $40. 451 rs; that
they received from the plaintiff ana other
insurance companies S59, sou. or $780, %
more than they were entitled to. 1t was
alleged that the loss was not total, but par
tlal, and the insurance company brought
suit against Liebes Brothers, alleging
fraud, and seeking TO recover all but a
pro rata of the insurance money paid over.
A demurrer to the complaint was inter-
posed and sustained by the lower court

SKIPPED THE TOWN.
The Boy Burglars of the Richards
Store Have Left.

Patrolman Walter Daniels success
fully worked out theory of his own
in regard to the burglary of the Rich
ards grocery on South Front street on
Sunday night.
All that was taken by the thieves
were half dozen packages of cocoa
nut, which showed the work of
novices. The officer discovered,
after considerable hard work, that the
burglars were couple of youths
whose regulations for some time have
been bad, but who exhibited good
deal of cunning in the commission of
the crime. They stood behind high
board fence and threw stones at the
windows until they had broken three,
then they crouched down to await the
effect of their work. Not seeing
any one about they wrenched out the
thin sash and easily crawled inside.
Officer Daniels found cave on the
banks of the Minnesota river where
all sorts of plumber had been secreted.
The boy burglars became alarmed,
however, and left town Monday after
noon.

COAL Fur THE SCHOOLS.
1t Should be Let by Contract to the
Lowest Bidder.

At the last meeting of the board of
education the matter of adopting
some system of purchasing and weigh
ing the coal for the public schools
was discussed but no definite action
taken.
A business man who attended the
meeting and heard the propositions
submitted, yesterday offered the fol-
lowing solution of the difficulty:
The work of supplying coal for the
school buildings should be let annually
to the lowest bidders, and each load
should be weighed before delivery
upon authorized scales and certified
ticket returned for each and every
load. This would insure cheap and
uniform price as well as honest
weights. There would then be no
doubt when the bills come ia that
everything is all straight.

BACTERIA WEATHER.
What Health Physician Jacoby Says
of Contagion.

"There are no new cases of diph-
liberia reported today" said Health
Officer Jacoby this morning. "All
the cases now under quarantine are
coming on nicely, and there is no i'm
mediate danger of any fatalities.
'There is no accounting for the
spontaniety of scarlatina. 1t seems
to spring up without warning and
without exposure to any person
afflicted. We have case of an old
lady residing in the outskirts who
came down with it few days ago.
She was not, to my certain knowledge,
exposed by contact with anyone else
who had it, and had not been out of
the house for some time. Yet she has
every symptom of the disease.
"The only solution to the question
is that the weather is favorable to the
propagation of bacteria, which -four
ishes and spreads, and apparently
rides like sound waves in the air.
"We shall draw the quarantine
lines as closely as we can, and shall
insist upon their due observance"
Another physician suggested the
free use of disinfectants. Powdered
sulphur taken internally is good
preventive, while crystallized iodine
dropped on a very hot fire-shovel until
the fumes make thick smoke about
the room is good disinfectant. 1t is
well, he says, to vacate Immediately
after the experiment, and close the
doors, for the fumes are very aggra-
waiting upon the lungs. "It is a
strong disinfectant, said the physi-
clan, ssbut it paralyzes the bacteria"

SHAKESPERiAN RECITAL.
A Fine Entertainment and a Fine
Audience at the High School
Assembly Room Last Night.

A large audience greeted Mr.. Geo.
B. Williams at the High school assem-
bly, room last evening to enjoy his
rendering of one of Shakespeare's
finest plays, ''King Henry the
Fourth Our professors, teachers
and scholars were there in force, and
our best citizens as well.
Mr.. Williams opened with a brief
synopsis of the peculiar traits of each
of Prince Halls boon companions.
Then followed with representations in
inimitable style of Falstatf, Poins,
Earl of WestmOreland, and all the
rest who followed the fortunes of
Prince Hal in his many escapades.
Mr.. Williams seems to have made a
life study of the immortal bard, and
to watch his quick transition from
one character to another and COM
plete impersonation Of each, was in
tensely interesting
For two hours the audience reyeled
in Falstaffian wit and humOr, in plots
and counter-plOtS, in mimic battles.
Hotspur, Glendower, and all the rest
passed across the stage at intervals,
and had new conceptiotionS of
Shakespeare'S numerous characters.
Mr.. Williams most taking feature is
perhaps the fact that he is perfectly
natural in the impersonatiOn Of each
character. Nothing was overdrawn.
The entertainment was closed with
Howells farce, "The Sleeping Car"
which was mirth-provoking, though
long-drawn out, as such things often
are. But it was well recited. and
sent the audience away in most
happy mood
