TULARE, CAL, Aug. 22.-F. P. Sharp
and James Norton were cleverIy captured
to-day by Officers Carlisle and Tompkins
while in the act of stealing a suit of
clothes from J. Goldman & Co. Sharp
and Norton carried with them peculiarly
constructed light box. The box was
shipped from Selma last night by express.
They got the box to-day from the Wells
Fargo agent, walked directly into Gold
mans store, and while Norton dickered
for pair of shoes Short lifted a suit of
clothes into the box. Goldman, being
suspicious, shadowed them when they left
the store and notified the officers. The
two crossed the block to Shefters store.
where they bought shirt. The officers
knocked the box from under Sharp's arm
when q suit dropped out. They were
caught and taken before Justice Gist,
where Sharp pleaded guilty and will re-
celve his sentence in the morning. Nor
ton pleaded not guilty and his trial was

HIS Operations.
MONTEREY, CAL, Aug. 22.-The Mon.
terey Whaling Company is once more
actively at work. Major Schaufele is in
San Francisco purchasing more boats and
tackle and also securing some experienced
harpooners. Whales are so numerous in
Monterey Bay now that one crew is not
sufficient to make whaling profitable here.
Captain Pedro, commander of the present
crew, says that with only two boats and
ten men whaling is dangerous. Although
his crew had harpooned three whales in
the last week, yet they were compelled to
cut line for need of more modern appli-
ances.

The Kaiser,s Begging Letters

The emperor Of Germany has received
recently so many letters from children
begging for presents of various kinds
that he has issued through the minister
of instruction an order to the public
schoolteachers to discourage the writ
ing of such letters by pupils, except i'll
cases of necessity. IN one mail, a few
days ago, his majesty received four let
tiers from Berlin school children. One
wished new violin to take the place
of her old one, two desired sewing ma
chimes, and fourth asked 1.-THE dear
Herr Kaiser" to give her 20 cents to
buy coal. His majesty sent one of his
officers to see the various families be-
fore answering the requests.
The child who wished money for coal
was found to be the daughter of widow
who had little or nothing A large load
of coal was sent to her, as well as q
present in money. The musical child
was ordered to @ professor who was to
give her lessons, and if she showed
talent she was to receive the new violin.
One of the children who asked for the
sewing machine was found to belong to
well to do family. She was told not
to repeat her offense. The other little
one, however, received a promise of a
sewing machine OH condition that, when
she finished her schooling, her record
proved her to be deserving of Il present
from her. emperor. William II might
deplete his purse if he undertook to re-
ward all petitioners so literally as these
three. Berlin Correspondence.

Independent Order Of
Reehabites
In NORTH AMERICA.
THE OBJECTS AND AIMS.
Information of Interest to Temper
ance Workers and Those Seeking
Refuge From the Tempta-
tions of Strong Drink.

WHE more important object of this
( Association is Mutual Benefit in
the exercises of Temperance, Forth
tude and Justice, securing to it's
membership sympathy and relief in
times of sickness and distress; and in
the event of death, the decent OBJ
obsequies; and is based upon and
seeks, the extension of the principles
of Total Abstinence from all intoxi-
eating drinks.
The Order has three subordinate
branches, viz:
Primary Tents, composed of white
male persons between the ages of 16
and 50 years of age, who believe in
the existence and omnipotence of
God and are willing to sign our pledge
of total abstinence, are eligible to
membership.
Persons over age may become hon.
orary members.
Female Tents, composed of white
females ~ years of age and upwards,
Junior Branch of Boys from 70 to
16 years, and Juvenile Tents, for
Children of both sexes between the
ages of 5 and 16 years.
Each branch has service especially
adapted. 1t has been found that by
working in separate branches of the
organization, there is more freedom
of action than when all ages and
sexes are thrown together. Each
branch of the Order is represented in
the higher body, and a fostering care
is exercised over all alike. Thus with
the men and women, girls and boys
all united under one head the l. D.
of r. is as an irresistible army NOV
ing on to victory.
The Order has, and will continue
to prove blessing to our country,
not only in proving an asylum for the
reformed drunkard, but by inducing
the sober and religious part of the
community to unite in securing the
rising generation from the evils of
intemperance, and ultimately hand
down TO generations yet unborn, the
benefits of sobrietY.

HOW BARON HlRscH DIED.
Alone and Helpless. the Man of Millions
Met Ills End.

Baron HirBch died Of syncope at 8
o'clock in the morning, at which hour
his means attracted the attention of the
occupants of the adjoining rooms. On
entering his bedroom they found that he
had already passed away.
He was staying at o Gyalla, near
Comorn, in Hungary, as the guest of
Herr Ehrenfeld, q landed proprietor,
whose hospitality he had accepted, as
the shooting box which he had project
ed Oh an estate he had purchased in
that neighborhood was still unfinished.
1t was only last year, after the sale Of
st. Johann, his largest estate in Aus
tria-Hungary, to Prince Hohenlohe,
that he bought the estate of o Gyalla,
which abutted on Herr Ehrenfeld's
property. While his new shooting box
was under construction hewas frequent
ly the guest of the Hungarian primate,
Cardinal Vaszary, and Of other neigh
bors, like the Ehrenfelds.
There was largo company in the
house that night, and the baron was
very gay. Contrary to his usually very
frugal habits, he drank good deal Of
champagne, responding to all the toasts
that were proposed. 1t was probably
this which brought on the apopletic at
tack that so suddenly ended in his
death. He went to bed at o'clock, and
when his meanings were heard it was
too late to render him any etfectual as
sistancc. Thus the millionaire bene-
factor Of the entire Jewish nationality
died III strangers house, alone and
helpless, at IL moment when fer the first
time i'll his life he was i'll need of help.
His health had not been good for
some years past. although he knew how
to keep up his martial appearance,
which resembled that of q cavalry Off
Ger rather than of Jewish banker. But
his appearance was deceptive. He visit
ed Carlsbad nearly every year, and
when he was there last he astonished
his acquaintance by abiding to his APP
preaching end.
Again, only few months ago, during
the sitting Of the board of trustees for
his Galician foundation, he reverted to
the subject of death, mentioning that he
had been studying the Austrian laws of
legacy and inheritance, and he COM
planned of the legacy duties being very
high-10 per cent. On some one remark
ing that that must be matter of COM
parative Indifference to him, since he
had 10 direct heirs, the baron rather in
dignantly replied: "How do you know
that? My heirs are suffering humanity,
and am thinking how to make all my
foundations and charitable institutions
independent for the future by depositing
the capital sum for each Of them. "
III the course Of the same conversation
he mentioned that he would like to die
suddenly without illness, and i'll this his
wishes appear to have been almost lit
orally fulfilled. London Letter.

Sacred Royalty.

During some private theatricals at the
Saxon court recently the Crown Prin-
cess Frederick took the part of a maid
servant. The extremely realistic way in
which she portrayed vulgar young
woman moisteninS and polishing a
leather shoe brought her reproof from
the king himself, who said, "We are
among ourselves, it is true, but even
then a royal princess ought not to play
SO exactly the manners of maid. ~
