The Crowd Dispersed Without Lynch
ing Him, and He is Safe.

SAN MIGUEL, May 16-Never in the
history of this community has it been
so stirred up as by the assault upon
Fredriecka Judy the thirteen ear-old
daughter of Rev. Martin Judy, pastor
of the First Methodist Church, by Pat
rick Flaherty, young tramp, yester-
day afternoon.
After his arrest, Flaherty was posi-
lively identified by Gertrude and Mil
dred Perry, two members of the juve-
nile party whose picnc was disturbed
by the appearance of Fredriecka's al
legged assailant on the banks of the Sa-
linaS River
He was hurriedly taken to the town
Jail and locked up. Rumors of the out
rage quickly spread, and in a remark
ably short time a large crowd assem-
bled outside the Jail. No general DEM

BEET SUGAR SEED.
The Supply for Distribution by the
Government Exhausted.

WASHINGTON, May 16-The beet
sugar seed which the Agricultural De-
partment has been distributing has
been practically exhausted, about TO-
600 pounds having been sent out to
farmers in about four-fifths of the
States. The seed has been distributed
in packages of from one ounce to half
a pound, purely for experimental pur-
poses. The beets grown from the seed
Will be analysed and the saccharine
matter determined, to ascertain where
beets can be profitably grown for the
production of sugar.
These experiments, it is said, will be
of immense value, as the beet undoubt-
eddy can be produced with profit in
many of the States. Wherever it can
be so produced it will give the farmer
a new crop. All the surplus vegetable
seed in the possession of the Agricul
tural Department is being distributed,
through Congressman or Government
agency, to the people in the flooded dis
tricts along the Mississippi for plant
ing as soon as the waters subside.

MADE GOOD THEIR PROMISE.
POLICE STOP A SUNDAY GAME OF
BASEBALL IN CLEVELAND.
The Players and Umpire Arrested at
the End of the First
Inning.

CLEVELAND, May 16-The police
made good their promise to prevent
Sunday baseball in Cleveland if an at
tempt was made to play to-day. At
the end of the first inning between the
Cleveland and Washington teams all
the players on both sides and Umpire
Hurst were arrested and taken to the
Central Police Station, four miles dis
tant, where President Robinson gave
bail for the prisoners and they were
released.
The game had been extensively ad-
vertised, and in consequence there was
a big attendance. The turnstile showed
that 10000 people had passed the gate
1t was impossible to admit any more
without letting them on the field, and
the gates were closed, while at least
5000 persons clamored for admission.
At conference this morning a pro-
gramme had been arranged by the po-
lice and President Robinson of the
Cleveland club. Accordingly, when one
inning of the game had been played
Police Captain English and President
Robinson walked on the field. The
Captains of the two teams called their
men, Robinson told them to get into
their omnibuses and go to the station
At the first sight of the police, some of
the spectators Kissed and yelled, Put
them OUT but very few understood
what was happening.
Most of the spectators remained in
their seats, thinking the players would
return and the game be resumed At
last 1t became apparent that the game
had been declared Off and about half
of those present awaited themselves of
the opportunity to get their money back,
the Others being content TO retain the
coupon emitting them to see the game
tomorrow or the next day.
The players took their arrests good
naturedly 1t is probable their cases
will be called in the Police Court to-
morrow morning. They may be con-
tinued, in which event another attempt
may be made to play next Sunday, al
though President Robinson has no
definite plans. 1t is announced that the
players will be arrested again next
Sunday or as many times as they try
to play.

THE WORLDS RECORD.
Lucretia Borgia Will Try to Beat II
for Four Miles.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16.-Lucretia
Borgia, the smart little filly bred by
William Boots & Son, will be sent
against the worlds record for four
miles on Thursday next as a special
feature of that day, which is to be de-
voted to helping the eye and ear ward
of the Little Jim Hospital.
Ever since the Spreckels Cup was
won by Little Bob it has been a matter
of contention among horsemen that Lu-
cretia Borgia should have won. She
was not we'll ridden in that race, as her
jockey was not strong enough to ride
her for all that was in her. The time
was not very good-in fact, was be-
hind what Lucretia BOrgia is capable
of lowering when at her best. Little
Bob won the race in 7:24b The two
best performances at the distance are
Fellowcraft's 7:195 and Senator
Broecks world record of 7:15$4.

Allen of Nebraska humorously declared
there was no division in the Populist
ranks on the question of Cuban lib
erty. In this whole matter he thought
there had been too much sacrifice to a
spirit of commercialism and it was time
this Government has a little more hu-
mainly and little more Americanism.
DR.. Kent, Mrs. Lincoln, Vice-Director
of the Women's League, and Rev. How
ard Wilbur Ennis also made remarks.
Ex-senator Butler of South carolina
read a series of resolutions which had
been prepared, and these were unani-
mously adopted. They earnestly pro-
tested against the ''barbarous and in
human methods" of Spain in conduct
ing the war in Cuba, declared that this
Government should recognize the insur-
gents as belligerents and that Cuba had
demonstrated that it was her manifest
destiny that, like Mexico, she should
be free and Independent without the
payment to Spain of any indemnity.

BULL FIGHTING STOPPED.
The Bulls in Mexico Too Poor and
They Send to Spain for Some.

MEXICO CITY, May 16-The city
government forbade any bull fight to
be given to-day. The authorities
claim the bulls provided for the fights
are so poor they do not justify the
price Of admission by the management
Enrique Mercio, Spanish bull fight
er, has visited the famous bull breed
ing farms of Atenco and other places
and his judgment is that none of the
bulls shown him were worthy of the
ring. The pGorness of the animals is
getting to be serious matter, and it
begins to look as if bull fighting would
stop for lack of animals to fight The
Government is firm and no perform
ances will be allowed with inferior cat
tie A shipload of bulls has been or
dered from Spain to meet the emer-
gency.

THE SCRATCH OF A PEN.
Henry Williams Cancels Notes to
Save His Sons Firm.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 16.-By the
voluntary scratch of a pen Henry Will
Jams, President of the California Safe
Deposit and Trust Company, and
father of Henry A Williams. of the
firm of Williams. Brown & Co. is poor
er by $16S, 900 than he was a week ago.
1t appears that the unsecured liza
bilities of the firm, instead of being
S191, 900 as first stated, were 1888, 600,
the difference being found in three
notes aggregating S16S,000, held by
Henry Williams.
Mr.. Williams senior soon discovered
that the unpledged assets would not
nearly cover the liabilities if the notes
held by him We're allowed to go into
the general account. Unhampered,
however, by these notes, the firm of
Williams, Brown & Co., of which his
son was the sole partner. might pull
through. Without a moments hesita-
ton the father Cancelled the three bits
of paper held by him.

BE CONTENTED.

ONE of the great causes of
worldly misery is discomfort en-
gendered by envy of those more
fortunate than ourselves. Instead
of showing pleasure at the happi-
ness Of others we are prone to
villainize them because they enjoy
what we cannot. We are always
too eager to point to the rich man
and say, ''Why is he wealthy and
happy, with nothing to worry him,
while [ must labor hard all day
for mere pittance." The grain
OF consolation we may gain by
such discontinued parleying could
not be made visible by the most
powerful microscope. Yet we
will continue day after day worry
ing body and mind with ridiculous
argument that the world is unjust
because Individually we are not as
we'll situated in worldly wealth as
neighbor. Do we ever wish that
some poor neighbor was in the
place of the rich one we envy ?
Oh, no; our innate selfishness pre-
dominates at all times for our own
miserable being, regardless of the
many even more unlucky than we
may be. The rich will be always
