GO FOR THEM.
Hobos and Thieves Who P1under
Night and Day.

NJ M Spaulding of 2119 1 street COM
plains that hoboS and thieves come
from the bushes over the north levee,
entere houses and steal generally. he
saws the people Of his neighbornood
want the police or Sheriff's officers TO
drive out the rascals who camp In the
brush and see if they cannot break up
the gangs and protect property OF tax
payers.
He thinks the fact that there is but
one officer out in all that section en-
boldens the burglars. AT 1850 a. m.
yesterday one of the rascals traeo "
break in through his window Wltn
Jimmy but the fellows ran when MI.
Spaulding came up.
Mr. Spauding says he does not
blame the police, for he knows all Is
done that so small a force can do, out
he says he is not obliged to live here,
and if he cannot get protection he must
go elsewhere.
All of which emphasizes an Idea that
has been offered heretofore-namely,
that the officer on that wide beat be
provided with a bicycle and taught to
ride it. BY using a wheel an offlcer
can cover a great deal of ground and
coved it often, whereas under the pres
ent conditions there is practically no
patroling done by the regular ofhcers
east of Tenth street.
In several neighborhoods the people,
in addition to paying their share of the
expense for maintaining the Police De-
partment, have to pay extra every
month to employ special officers to pro-
tect their families and their property.
There is enough money paid in this
way to meet the salaries of several
more regular officers, but it is not even
ly distributed. East of Tenth street
there is no protection for citizens
except such as their shotguns or special
officers afford them.
There should be a certain number of
officers provided with bicycles, and
they should keep travelling while on
duty, or at least a good part of the
time. The exercise would keep them in
good health and condition for their
work which idlenesS will not do.
Thieves can avoid an officer who is
on foot and has a big territory to COW
er, but mounted on a. wheel the officer
could be here, there and elsewhere at
unexpected moments, and if he had any
chasing to do he would be better
equipped than when on foot.
But wheel or no wheel, it would be
a good idea for the police and Sheriff S
offices to join forces, get a few resolute
citizens to help them, if necessary. and

A GENUINE SURPRISE.
Janitor Bailey Receives a Christ
mas Present From His Friends.

There was trial in Judge Hart's
court yesterday afternoon that was not
down on the calendar
George Washington Bailey, the janf-
tor of the Courthouse, was arrested py
Sheriff Johnson and brought before
Judge Hart on a charge of embezzle-
ment. He pleaded not guilty and w. H.
Devlin was appointed by the court TO
defend him. and he waived jury and
demanded an immediate trial County
Clerk Hamilton testified that various
pens and penholders had disappeared
from his Office, to which defendant had
access at all times, but he could not
swear that they had not disappeared
through the members of the Sacramento
Bar. He had also missed spittoons
at various times.
Judge Johnson said that several val
liable legal opinions had been taken
from his office, but he could not say
defendant had taken any. He had al
ways considered him upright and hon
est.
Sheriff Johnson testified that defend
ant had sometimes been in his office.
lie also had once missed a spittoon.
Bailey took the stand and said he
knew nothing about the matter. He
had served in the United States navy
for seven years and always borne a
good character. He had never taken
any opinions from Judge Johnson's Of
| flee
Judge Hart said he would be forced
to find him guilty and would impose
sentence, which was that defendant
should wear for three years the hand
some suit of clothes, hat and other
| articles that had been purchased as a
Christmas present by his friends in the
Courthouse.
Bailey, who had up to this time be-
lieved that the matter was serious
one, Joined in the shout of laughter
and expressed his thanks to those who
| had put up the job on him.

A LIVELY RUNAWAY.
The Horse Takes to the Sidewalks
for Three Blocks.

There was lively runaway on j and
Fifth streets yesterday about 2 o'clock.
A horse attached to the wreck of a
buggy came tearing down j street and
when he arrived at Fifth, took to the
sidewalk on the west side and kept it
until he reached M street, where he
took to the street again and continued
his course, having in the meantime
got rid of most of the wreck.
How the pedestrians who were on
Fifth street escaped serious injury was
marvel to all who witnessed the af-
fair, but luckily they did so. The run
away created great excitement but it
was not ascertained to whom the ami
NAL belonged

night, very few seats not being taken.
The performance went off with even
more spirit and snap than heretofore,
and gave full satisfaction to a very su-
perior audience. The Farrells and the
Fillmore sisters were especial favorites,
While the Boys Hungarian Band was
appIauded to the echo, and responded to
several encores. Tonight the band will

brace of callers yesterday. They nimbly
mounted the long flight of stairs to the

their compliments as they entered. With
the good breeding for which they are

of the office and a crowd of spectators.

Craba and Lobstera.

In selecting crustaceans the inexperi. enoed housekeeper may be guided by q few easily remembered points. Lobstera that have not been long taken will re. spond to a pressure of the finger on thoir eyes with q strong motion of the claws The heaviest are the best The cock lob ster, though generally smaller, has tho higher flavor, the flesh is frmer, and it's color, when boiled, is of a deeper red than that of similar characteristics in the hen. The male may be known by his narrow, rather tapering tail, and also from the condition of the two up permost fins which compose 1t. These in his case are hard and stiff, while those of the hen are soft, and the tall fan is much broader.
 The heaviest crsBs are the best, and those of a medium size sweetest. If light, they are watery. When in perfect condition, the joints of the legs are stiff, and the body has an agreeable smell. The eyes, too, should look bright and firmly set. When they have dead ap- pearance and seem loose, tho crab is stale. New York Post

A Marvellous Feat of Memory.

Maretus tells us that during his trav- els over Europe he met the marvel of marvels' at Padua The marvel in question was young Corsioan, who was in the city for the purpose of pur- suing his studies ct the university. Ma retus, having heard that tao young man was gifted with all extraordinary mem- ory, desired to put the student to the test.
 The person who had informed the traveller concerning the wonderful re- tentiveness of tho young Corsican's memory declared that he was so gifted in that faculty that he could repeat aa many as 36,000 words if read over to him but once. Marcus and three distin- guishod Venetians agreed to test the ao- euraoy of the statement. A committed visited the student of extraordinary memory and found him willing to sub- init to the ordeal. Accordingly there was read over to him an almost inter- minable list of words strung together without any consecutive order and without any meaning whatever.
 The young man stood all the time with his attention deeply fixed and his eyes half closed. When the long string of words had been read off, he looked up oheerfully and repeated the whole of the uninteresting catalogue of words without single fault. Then, to show how carefully his wonderful memory had retained every word, he went through the list backward When that task was finished, he took each alter nate word-frst, third, fifth, etc. -and repeated them until the company was thoroughly convinced that they were in the presenc of the most wonderful prod igy of memory that the world had ever produced.
