The shooting of Miss Jennie Lewis has
brought into prominence question that
has long been discussed sub rosa in Oak
land. but which Chief of Police Lloyd will
do well to look after. Miss Lewis be-
longed to that class of young women who
number many hundreds in Oakland and
who find in this city all the quasi-moral
entertainment they desire. The murder
of the young girl is not the sacrifice of vir-
tue to yiciousness, but is rather the ineyi-
table result OF a manner of living that
exists in Oakland more literally than in
most places, and in saying this I am
quoting from a conversation with one of
the Oldest captains Of police. He also said
that at the. particular ball at Germania
Hall attended by Miss Lewis the Satur-
day night, or rather the Sunday morn
ing before she was shot he saw a
young girl, not 16 years of age. carried off
the floor, drunk. Now that the excitement
of the murder is over and the Characters of
all parties have been INQUIRED info II
would appear that Muhlner was far mora
reputable and had far better claim ON the
young woman's attention than had Charles
Miller. - "AieS
Miller is known as freouenter of
low saloons, and in investigating TO-
day 1t was discovered that his as

THE MANATEE.

in tropical ATTITUDES, and while it does
not object to salt water, it is most at
home in water that is either brackish
or else quite fresh; and the latter is
preferred because of its aquatic yege-
tation. Unlike the seal, it is quite un-
able to come out on land.
l am glad to be able to say that even
to-day this remarkable animal is an in
habitant of one portion of our strange
ly diversified United States.
For some particular reason, probably
the abundance of good food combined
with good depth of water, number
of manatees have chosen to inhabit the
st. Lucie river, Brevard county, Fla,
which flows into Indian river, is miles
above Jupiter inlet. Their presence
there has been well known for 20 years
or SO; but, fortunately for them, they
possess neither the checkered-leather
hide of the sad-eyed alligator, the spun
glass plumes of the unhappy egret, or
the delicious flesh of the wild turkey;
and SO as yet they have not been entire
ly exterminated. w. L. Hornaday.

A STRANGE CREATURE

The Manatee One of the Most Peculiar
Animals Native to America.
OF all the large animals of the Ameri-
can continent, none is more remarkable
in form than the manatee.
Although this strange creature is of
goodly size. often reaching weight of
several hundred pounds, and sometimes
attaining length Of 10 feet, yet ven
ture to say that not more than one per-
son out of every 1000 in the United
States could now arise and correctly an
swer the question: what is a mana
tee?" Whenever you mention the name
of the creature to any one save a student
OF quadrupeds, Of surety you will
have that question to answer forthwith.
The manatee is an animal that lives
exclusively in the water, and while it is
shaped somewhat like seal, it is very
far from being one. mention the
seal by way Of comparison solely be-
cause it is the only quadruped which
can be used. The heavy, baglike body,
short neck, blunt nose and round head
Of our harbor seal do indeed suggest
the form of the manatee; but there
the resemblance stops short.
Instead of having hind fippers like
seal, the body Of the manatee ter
inmates in very broad and very fiat
tail, which forms an admirable pro-
peller. It's front limbs are simply big,
fiat paddles, by no means so shapely
and useful as the front fippers of
sea lion. 1t has no hair-or. at least.
none to speak of; a smooth, but very
thick and tough skin, small weak eyes
and blunt nose. Instead of having
teeth like seal, and feeding on fish,
it has only set of rather weak molars,
and lives solely on aquatic plants.
1t lives in the mouths and lower
reaches of rivers that flow into the sea

HORSE GOSSIP

1. ID. Green son of the owner of Direc-
tum, has leased the champion from his
father this year. and states that he and
Mr.. Dustin will start east about the 1st
OF May and the chances are they will
make Philadelphia their headquarters.
Directum has been at the Oakland track
since November 23d, with the exception
of few ddays that he was at the horse
show in San Francisco. Dustin has him
in charge and the horse is doing better
than at any time in his career. He is
getting three miles twice week, but very
little fast work. A few DAYS ago he
worked quarter in 33 seconds and an
eighth around the turn in Is seconds.
This work was seen by o. r. Mackey,
owner of Silicon, Major Dubois of Den
yer, M. Salisbury and o. HickocS. All
OF them said that he never showed more
speed or looked better. while Hickock
admitted that Directum is now sin better
condition than he ever saw him. Direc-
tnm will be'engaged in all of the free-for
ais. and Mr.. Green is vely anxious to
meet Alix, as he believes the black son of
Director can make a BETTER showing than
he did at Boston last fall. Since Dustin
has had Directum he has permitted his
front feet to grow out long and he does
not now show disposition to change his
gait.
D.. r. Dickey, owner of the crazy horse
Pescador, approached Assistant Starter
John Merrill Monday and unfolded a tale
OF hard luck. He said that he considered
that he had been unfairly treated at the
start in the last race, but he was willing
TO forgive and forget if Merrill would only
let the brute off in front in race which
he was entered to start next week. Dicky
wished to cinch the confidence of the
starter by offering compensation for value
received in the way of a fly in the start.
Merrill referred Dickey to Starter Fergu-
son. and then promptly reported the mat
ter to the board of stewards. When Dickey
appeared before the stewards on sum-
mons he admitted the circumstance in
childish way. The stewards pitied the
poor old fellow, though his offense de-
served ruling off the track, and they
simply ordered him to remove his horses.

that if the match does not take place in
Florida it must be fought before the
Olympic club of New Orleans.

For some time doubt has existed as to
Fitzsimmons' ability to raise the second
instailment of the $40, 900 stake. Fitz
now assures all and sundry that he will
be able to post the money by May 1st.
Corbett seems to be satisfied on this
point. but remarks Incidentally that he
is going to fight in September, no matter
whom he meets. If Fitzsimmons de-
faults in the matter of making good his
side bet. Jim says he will arrange to meet
Peter jackson, even if it is necessary to
go to London to fight. In the meantime
Jackson has refused to consider challen-
ges from Slavin, Mitchell ct al, in Eng
land unless they consent to box before
the National Sporting club. In this par
ticuar respect the colored pugilist seems
to be swayed by feelings Of loyalty, such
as he expressed tor the California club Of
this city in the old days. 1t remains to
be seen. however, in the event of the
Jackson Corbett match coming on tne
boards again, whether the choice of a
fighting ground in Merrie England will
prove a stumbling block.-W. W. Naugh-
ton in the Examiner.

THE WHEEL

Cycledom in Los Angeles has followed
suit with other branches of trade this
week and given herself up to the buzz and
whirl of the people.
La Fiesta has done one good thing for
bicycle row, in that it has permitted all
dealers to become better acquainted with
their agents from outlying towns and in
cdentally show to them that they, the
general agents, have ten to one as many
eau es to worry and grow thin over the
non-arrival of wheels as have the rural
agents.
The general agents, so many of whom
make their headquarters in Los Angeles,
have spent a great deal OF money during
the past thirty days. which will all have
to be spent again in securing agents and
jollying them up and are consequently
respondent over the failure of the eastern
manufactures to properly supply them
with wheels. Two carloads of wheels
could easily have been disposed of this
week here in Los Angeles and yet some
of our leading wheel merchants and
more enterprisins and hustling agents
have gone through the entire week just
passed. with 30 600 strangers in our city
with not a wheel in stock.
The defeat of Edwards and Ziegler at
San lose yesterday but verties the old
adage that it takes he art as we'll as speed
TO win on wheel. Bald, the 20 lumbia
crack. is man who wins his races alwa S
from start to finish and the whirl of II
competitors wheel at his side has never
yet caused Cannon ball Eddy" to lose
his heart. Castleman and Burke showed
up nobly at the great meet and deierve
great credit for the positions they attain
ed in the condition in which they both
started.
Stephens e Hickock, the Columbia
agents, knippenberg, the Syracuse hustler,
