THOMAS NAME is LAMBERT,
Defaulting Clerk Of Oakland Police
Court in Honolulu.
Fled the Country on the Mariposa-Ger-
tie AIahOney Came AIso-WiI1 Pro-
badly Continue to Flee.

On the last Mariposs there arrived
in the country a man and woman
whose names appeared on the passen-
ger list as "F. n. Thomas and wife"
On their arrival they took rooms at
the Arlington Hotel, and have posed as
tourists. There has been little in their
actions to attract particular attention,
but news by the China will, doubtless,
bring them into uncomfortable prom
inence.
Mr.. Thomas proves to be none other
than Walter r. Lambert, the abscond-
ing clerk of the Oakland Police Court,
and his fair haired wife is Miss Gertie
Mahoney, the daughter of COM
position employed on an Oakland news
paper.
The Oakland experts who have been
working diligently upon such of Lam :
bert's accounts as have been available
report that their investigations show
q shortage of about $500. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that this amount will
fall short of the defalcation by many
hundreds of dollars. A shortage of
$3.50, say those who knew the Police
Court clerk Intimately, would not
have driven him out of California.
He could have raised that amount
among his friends and relatives, they
say. Everything now depends upon
the contents of Lambert's safe. Two
expert locksmiths worked all day on
the combination, but were unable to
open the big door. They say that
there is every evidence that somebody
disarranged the combination with the
deliberate intention of preventing the
opening of the safe. The experts will
try again, and if they are unsuccessful
the safe will be broken open.
Lambert and Gertie MahOney have
been intimate acquaintance for some
time, and have been seen frequently
in each others company, both in San
Francisco and in Oakland. She is
said to have been with him the night
previous to their departure, and it is
they agreed to leave the country to-
gether. Lambert doubtless cOnfided
to her that he was short in his ac-
counts and must seek other parts or go
to Jail. She consented to leave the
country. It is believed that before
leaving Lambert helped himself to all
the money that was in his safe, for
when he purchased his ticket he dis
played quantity of gold.
Lambert's career in Oakland as
''high-roller'' has been published at
length since his disappearance. He is
well known throughout California,
having held several prominent posi-
tons. He is well connected, his fam
lily being one of the best known and
most respected in Oakland. His
mother is completely Frustrated with
grief over the disgrace that has been
brought upon her by her son. Lam
bert lived beyond his means, being
fond of good times, which are always
expensive, and was also given to
gambling
It was reported last night that ex-
tradition papers had been received by
the local authorities on the China.

Castronomic Feat Of a New York
Snake.

For some time past Thomas Mhoon,
a truck farmer living near Brooklyn,
has been missing each day number
Of young ducks. They disappeared so
mysteriously that their loss could not
be accounted for in any manner. All
theories as to how they were taken
were smashed to pieces when it was
known that no one had been near the
place during che day where the ducks
were wont to pass away the time. No
feathers or other vestige could be
found, which would have undoubted-
ly been the case If the fowls had been
made awe with by a hawk or some
"varmint"
When sixty-five of the fluffy young
sters had disappeared Mhoon deter
mined to watch the ducks for a day
He followed them down in he field to
The little branch where they slipped
into the water. No sooner had they
arrived there than--shades of St
Patrick from neighboriug clamp OF
bushes appeared such snake as
Mhoon had never seen before outside
Of show. He is not drinking man
and is not accustomed to see such
things in broad day light, but he had
to pinch himself to make certain that
he was in his right senses. While his
eyes stuck out of mis- head in terror
the monster snake glided up to the
ducks, when they all set up terrific
quacking, as if they knew the end OF
the world was coming for some OF
them.
BY this time the man had recovered
himself, and, hastily running TO the
house and secured his shotgun, and
returned to where he had seen the
snake.
When he rea ,hed there he found the
snake, which seemed fifteen feet long
and one foot thick, making off with a
duck in its mouth. Mhoon pulled the
trigger of the gun. When the smoke
cleared away the reptile was stretched
nut, lashing its tail in fury. Mhoou
kept away until its struggles had
ceased, and approached it. He found
out it was as long as fence rail
about nine feet four inches. E. G
Miller, cigarmaker, of No. $50 viii
son street, helped Mhoon measure the
snake, and will vouUh for the reliabil

Maryland's Whipping Post.

Since tho legislature of Maryla land es-
tablished the whipping post i'll that
state for wife beaters, four husbands
have been dashed for brutally assaulting
their wives. One of those whipped was
colored, and the other three were white.
The act was passed at the session of
1882. The first man whipped was
Charles Foote, colored, who was con-
victed of wife beating Nov. 20, 1882.
He was sentenced on the 1st of the fol-
lowing December to receive Ii lashes
and to be imprisoned go days. The
number Of lashes was reduced to seven,
which was the number inflicted.
1t was not until June, 1885, that the
whipping post was again used. The sec
ond man received 20 lashes and the
third 15 lashes. The last time the whip
ping post was used was Oct. 9, 1890,
when man received ID lashes for as
saulting his wife. Since then there
have been a number of cases in which
wives were assaulted by their husbands,
but there have been no convictions un-
der the statute prescribing the whipping
post as punisbmnt for the offense. -

Deaths From Snake Bites.

The subject of the prevention of death
from snake bite is one which has for
many years past engaged the attention
of the government of India. The annual
reports are interesting, but far from
pleasant reading. In 1891 the mortal
ity. under this head was no fewer than
1889; in 1892 it had fallen to 49,
O25; i'll 1898 it rose again to 21,213
In other words, in 1892, out of every
II, $50 persons in India, one died of
snake bite; il 1898, l out of 10, 424.
The fluctuations are probably acct
dental, but the state of affairs is real and
deplorable enough. OF the total num-
Der of deaths, almost exactly one-half
occurred in Bengal, (10,79D; next
come the northwestern provinces and

China q Stone In Russia's Sling.

China, in order to give security for
the loan, is going to mortgage the re-
ceipts of the maritime customs. They
will pay the coupon. Now, suppose
Japan threatens to renew the war with
China and to blockade the ports, and so
stop the payment of customs dues. Rus
STA year ago might have taken up an
attitude of indifference and declared
that the matter was nothing to her. She
could not do that now. She would
have to consider whether a Japanese
war would not make her liable for the
coupon by stopping the payment of Gus
toms. If she decided that it would
she must almost necessarily intervene
either to make China yield to Japan or
else to prevent Japan from attacking
China
In other words, the guarantee makes
Russia the arbiter of the fate of China
for the next 80 years and more and al
lows her-nay, almost compels her-to
say the final word i'll all China's diplo-
macy. 'We cannot, as guarantors of
your loan, allow you to rush into bank
ruptcy. It is with these words that
the Russian ambassador at Picking will
be able to exercise veto on all Chinese
foreign policy. The guarantee of the
loan will then give Russia prerogative
vote in matters of external policy. 1t
is notice that, on the one hand, Russia
will not allow China to be conquered,
thus destroying her security for having
to make good her guarantee, and, on
the other, that China must conform to
the Russian standard of political con-

A Maple Dies of sunstroke.

In the last number of Meehan s
Monthly the editor tells of being sum-
moned to hold an inquest over dead
sugar maple tree. 1t was supposed to
have been destroyed by a leak in the
city gas main, near its roots, but an ex-
animation convinced Mr.. Meehan that
the tree had died literally from sun
stroke
This maple had been planted on the
street about % years and was some
four feet in girth. The trunk, how
ever, instead of being cylindrical, was
shaped like triangular prism, pecul-
iarity owing to the fact that on three
sides of it the inner bark and wood had
been killed, while the outer bark con-
tinued to cover up the injury, so that
the only living wood was at the angles
of the trunk. Practically, no more than
one-third of the surface of the trunk
was alive, and when the exceedingly
warm weather of last month came the
limited number of ducts were not suffi-
cient to supply the moisture needed to
meet the rapid Transportation from so
large a surface of foliage; consequently
the leaves wilted and the tree died.
Whenever the trunk of tree takes ON
this angular form it should be examined
under the bark, and if the fiatter por-
tions are found dead the bark and the
decaying part of the wood should be
wholly cut away and the denuded part
painted to check the rotting. In time
healthy wood may grow over such a
scar, and the life of the tree may thus
be eventually saved.

We hazard the guess that the popula-

it will closely accord with the facts. =

ON DEMOCRATIC I%MPUDENCE.

1t is characteristic Of the impotence
of the Democrats of Tennessee that
they should plot to keep.the Republican
who was elected Governor of that State
out of his seat and at the same time
send q delegation TO Congress to ask
for an appropriation of 5000, 900 to cele-
brate the centennial of Tennessee. The
delegation should be sent back empty
handed and the plotting Democrats
taught a lesson. If the people of Ten.
nessee do not know any better than to
permit their State to be d~isgraced by
putting a man in Office who was de.
feated at the polls they had better put
Grape on the Capitol, of Nashville array
themselves in sackcloth and ashes in
stead of holding an exposition in honor
of the fact that Tennes see is one hun.
dred years old. Crime in a young State
where society is still in unsettled con-
dition is bad enough, but in one of the
older States it becomes intolerable. If
a century of existence has not taught
Tennessee the value of honesty and of
a good name then she should be shown
in what estimation the rest of the coun.
try holds those virtues.

WHEN the receipts fail to meet the
expenses of the Government, the Re-
publicans believe in meeting the de.
ficiency by increasing the revenue.
The Democrats meet it by issuing
bonds. For thirty years the Republi
cans were engaged in reducing the pub.
lie debt. The Democrats have increas-
ed the debt by one hundred million in
five per cent bonds in the last year, and
will have to issue more bonds to main
tain the gold reserve before Congress
adjourns if there is anything in the
signs of the times.
