Making Up for Appomattox.

Senator Hoar in the tariff debate: The
gentleman from Texas, who had made a
pilgrimage to the North to urge the people
of New England to vote the Democratic
ticket that they might get free coal and
free iron, had discovered the necessity of
a tariff on coal and a tariff on iron. My
anxiety for the nascent industry of the
South was dissipated when the report
came in. But l found that these doctors
had a different regime for the North.
Free rad and ad valorem were their

stupid doctor who takes his own pills.
The three shrewd gentlemen of the sub
committee had fallen into no such mis-
take. Their medicine is Intended wholly

II reminds me of a good story which is
told in Lockhart's Life of Scott: He was
travelling in the north of England near
Flodden, where the English defeated the
Scotch with great slaughter, in the time
OF James V.
1T happened at a small country town
that Scott suddenly required medical adj
vice for one of his servants, and, on
inquiring If there was any decor at the
place, was told that there were two-one
long established, and the other a new
conner. The latter gentleman, being luck

Jews Flocking TO Palestine.

The restoration of the Jews to the Holy
Land was regarded, only a few years ago,
as the idle dream of a few Christian en-
thusiasts. IL would now appear to be
merely a question of time. The London
Times published a letter from Bishop
Blythe, of Jerusalem, in which he states
that about 100000 Jews have entered Pal
estine within the last seven years, and
that no one can possibly forecast the next
seven years of Jewish immigration. The
London Spectator remarks that already
the railways are opening up the coast and
Jerusalem and Damascus, and, if there
should be a Hebrew immigration on a
large scale, Syria may once mor become
one of the most important places in the
East.

MUSICAL NOTES.
Farland, the Banjo SoIoist, Scores a


Success.
No concert that has been held in Metro
politan Temple in many weeks past has
been the occasion of such enthusiasm as
was displayed last night at the debut in
this city of alfred A. Farland, the ban 10
virtuoso.
The attendance was unusually large,
and the reception which was accorded the
artist was demoustratiye of the fact that
the instrument OF plantation fame is rap
idlv losing its unpopularity and making
Its way to the front to keep pace with the
ting of the mandolin.
MIR. Farland understands the handing
OF mis- instrument perfectly, and performs
some OF the most difficult selections, such
as the final allegro from Rossini's ''Wil-
lam Ielr overture, with comparative
ease. His execution is marked with much
expression and finish, thus relieving the
agony of ordinary baujo solos.
His support was good, with the possible
excep ion of Mrs. Cadenasso, mezzo-
sOpTanO, whose Ineffective attempts 10

from pleasing to the ear. Otherwise she
created favorable impression and sang

SHATTERED FAITH.
How an Old Rancher Was
Hoodwinked.
A Brother and Sister Betray His
Confidence by Stealing $4,000
From His Trunk.

Nettie Howk, so years of age. and john
Howk. % years of age, sister and brother,
were booked at the City Prison yesterday
morning by Detectives Coffey and Gibson
on the charge of grand larceny. The CON-
flaming witness is Charles Perry, over 20
years of age, a rancher at Sierraville,
Sierra County. The defendants are
charged with stealing a sack containing
$4,000 from the old man.
According TO the old mans story the de-
PENDANTS belong 10 Loyaltou, Sierra
County, and he has known them from the
time they were babies. He always took
great interest 10 them, and before the close
of the Midwinter Fair he brought them to
the city and they spent q few days taking
in the sights at the fair.
Two months ago he again visited the
city with the HoWks, and at that time de-
posted S5114 in Wells, Fargo & Co.'s bank.
The HOwks went with him to the bank
and Netiie got him persuaded to deposit
the money in her name. But he b d sense
enough to keep the certificate Of deposit in
his own possession. He returned TO Sierra
vile and the HOwkS remained in the city.
About fortnight ago they brought him
back 10 the city to talk over scheme
whereby they could make money. He
$5114 out of the bank and the three would
go to Alaska and run saloon. Nettie was
TO play the piano and the old man the VIC
lin so as to attract custom, and John was
to be the bartender
Although the old rancher has a wife in
Sierraville the scheme pleased him, and on
September he drew the money from the
bank and took II 10 a lodging house on
Third and Mission streets, where the
HOwks were living. The steamer was to
sail for Alaska that afternoon, and the
Howks packed his trunk, Perry giving
them particular Instructions to be careful
in packing the sack containing the $50O0
The two Howks were to follow Oh the
next steamer They saw the old man
safely off on his trip and everything was
going On just as they wished. When he
reached Seat lie be bad occasion TO open
his trunk, and found to his surprise that
the sack was not 10 it. So, instead of con-
tinulng his journey he returned to the
city and told his story at police headQuar-
tiers.
Detectives Coffey and Gibson were de-
tailed Cd the case, and they arrested Nettie
and John HOwk on Fourth street on Sum-
day afternoon. They had previously as
certaned that $4,000 of the N oney had been
deposited In NetIie's name in WelLFargo's
bank.
The Howks, acting under the advice of
ex-Judge Ferral, whom they have re-
tanned, declined TO say anything for pub
LEGATION. The eX-Judge said it was all a
mistake; that the old man was drunk
when he made the charge against his
clients, and it would all come out right

EZETA AT PEACE.
Waiting for Judge Nor
rows Decision.
Thinks So Well of San Francisco
That He Will Educate His
Children Here.

Every one appeared 70 be In very
happy frame of mind at General EZeta's
headquarters at the California Hotel yes
terday afternoon. The general was pal
ticularly jOcOse and jolly. He was well
pleased with his trial. His attorneys. he
thought, had presented the evidence in the
case in a manner that would vindicate him
before the public. There is not a shadow
of doubt in General Ezea's mind that the
decision will be otherwise than favorable
10 him.
Attorneys Reubens and Quesada seemed
TO be highly elated over the completion of
the tedious ordeal. They have been in
the cliv since August 6, looking after Gen
eral EZeta's Interests. They will remain
In San francisco until they hear from
Judge Morrow, which will probably be on
Saturday, and then they will leave imme-
diately for New York. where thew have an
extensive law practice. Both MIR. Reubens
and Mr.. Quesada expressed themselves as
being very confident that they would get
favorable decision. Mr.. ReubenS re-
marked that In case of an adj
verse opinion the evidence would
be laid before Secretary Gresham,
and should the Secretary of State
coincide with Judge Morrow the case
would then be taken into the Supreme
Court. 1t will take over year to carry
out this programme, said Mr.. Reubens,
and by that time peace wilt be restored in
Central America.
General Ezeta will at Once go East,
should the court deliver him from the
clutches of Marshal Baldwin. He will
visit Washington. New York and Phila-
delphla. He is immensely delighted over
The reception that the Californians have
rendered him, and he is very anxious to

Last Sunday evening Sergeant Buckley
OF the Bennington called on Ezata. The
general. since he has been in San Fran
cisco, has presented every officer and pri-
vate on the Bennington with his photo
graph. Sergeant Buckley, when he ap-
peared at the California Hotel Sunday
evening, wore his on his breast He re-
ported that the entire crew took a very
deep interest in General EZeta's trial
Sailors who were never known before to
buy newspaper hailed every newsboy
for the morning and evening papers.

Sergeant Buckley, sis an admirer ard
friend of General EZeta.
The educational advantages that this
country afford Lave so fOTcibly impressed
the Salvadoran exile that he has decided
to send his two little girls to San Fran
cisco to be educated. The governess who
supervised the instruction of Carlos
children is now in the city, and the little
girls will be given into her care.
The general intends to have printed in
book form the evidence presented at his
trial, together with the press comments
which have appeared in the papers from
time to time. He has heard from General
Colocho, who was given his release at the
beginning of tile trial he LETT here for
