Sheriff Mansfield Searching
for the Third Baden
Suspect.
Circulars Giving His DeScrip-
ton Sent Throughout
the Country.
The Much -sought-For Criminal Was
Formerly a Member of the
Salvation Army.

Notwithstanding the efforts of Sheriff
Mansfield and his deputies James WiIlett
the third bandit who Is wanted for the
murder of C. a. Andrews at Baden on the
night of November II, is still at large.
Yesterday Chief Lees received the fol-
lowing description of the suspect:

bones, small mouth, rounded chin, small
ears, tech regular. Has an India-ink
mark in the center of forehead blue dot
above the outer corner of left eye and two
small blue dots on back of the right hand
near the index finger.
He has long, stout arms and thick
fingers, is stoop- shoul dered, OF stout
build, and will probably be found around
Salvation Army quarters. There is re
ward of $3.50 offered for his arrest.
The records of the Police Departme ent
show that Willett was arrested on the
night of Novemb Der II, 1890. for passing a
counterfeit $25 bill, and was sent to the
House of Correction for six months.
Shortly after being discharged he and a
man named Kelly were caught in the act
of breaking into wine cellar al 311 Pa
cifc street, and were convicted of
burglary.
WilIett was held to answer for the
crime on January IA, 1891. and a few
weeks later was sent to Folsom for ten
years.
Last night Sacramento Deputy Sheriff
visited police headquarters and identified
the photograph of Willett as that of a
man he had seen hanging around Angels
Camp.
1t is Gained. that after being discharged
from the penitentiary Willett trampe
about the country, finally joining the
Salvation Army in Los Angeles.

WAS NOT A DEFAULTER,
Charles Ruruham Left Without Se-
crecy aud viii Soon Re-
turn.

In an interview with John Williams, the
successor of Charles f. Burnham as Sec
retary OF the Oakland Scottish Rite
bodies, Mr. Williams says that he knows
nothing about Burnham's outside busi-
ness, bnt the published statements rela-
live TO a shortage in his Masonic accounts
are without foundation. MIR. Williams
further says that Burn hams intended de-
parture was well known for more than a
week before he lett. Burnham himself
said he was going north on mining busi-
ness, and that he would return to Oakland
when that business was finished. Accord
ing to Mr.. Williams Burnham's Masonic
difficulties exist largely in the imagina-
tion of people who are not Masons, and
who have no means OF knowing what
transpires in a Masonic lodge.

A ROYAL Horticulturist.

The King of Belgium has many hob
bies, but his chief amusement is that
of horticulture. 1t has often been
said that were King Leopold obliged
to get his living, he would get a first
class one as landscape gardener.
Morning, noon and night, year in and
year out, horticulture has all ever
present charm for him, and if he should
hear of new flower, shrub or tree, he
will take journey of any length in
order to see it and to procure specl-
mems. Quite recently he took a jour
ney to Italy for this purpose. He has
splendid gardens and Conservatives,
which were until recently under the
management of Mr.. Knight, Scotch
man, now dead, who had been favor
ite of the King for many years. Mr..
Knight used to accompany the King
on many of his walks and funny
story is told of one of them. His Maj
esty, being hot and thirsty, stopped at
a small farmhouse-where the people
were Flemish--and asked for glass
of milk. While waiting for it to be
brought he conversed with his COM
panion in the English tongue. AS he
was in the act of drinking the milk,
the woman, not knowing the King, or
being aware that he understood Flem-
ish, remarked to her husband: 'I
wonder how much the long-nosed
Englishman will pay?"
The answer to this was quick. cal

A Unique Ring.

diamond cutters and merchants, be-
cause it was the first successful at
tempt to cut ring out of a single
stone. There are great many diff
culties in this method of cutting dia-
monds, as the stones have a certain
cleavage and particular veins, all of
which have to be carefully studied in
order to prevent splitting just as sue
cess seems within reach.
After several unsuccessful attempts
and three years labor the feat has
been accomplished by the patience and
skill of NJ Antoin, one of the best
known lapidaries of Antwerp. The

Can a death which is caused by
MOSQUITO bite properly be called accl-
dental? The Court of Appeals Of Ken
lucky has SO decided, and the decision
appears to the Chicago Times-Herald
to be very good law. A Kentucky
travelling man took out an accident
insurance policy for $4,000 and de-
parted on journey. In Rome, Ga,
before he arose one morning his right
foot became uncovered anda mosquito
lowering near, waiting for an early
breakfast, settled on the foot ''at the
base of the fourth toe" and gorged
himself. Blood poisoning, as the
doctors testified, was the result OF the
bite. and the man died When sued
on the policy the company contended
that mosquito bite was not an acc1-
dent, and consequently they ought not
to be compelled to pay. The lower
court agreed with the company, but on
appeal the higher court reversed the
case and gave Judgment for the widow
who had brought the suit.

she is yet remains to be settled, one

THE ARMY SHOE.
An Old Soldier Recalls His Experience
With Footwear.

An Old Soldier Recalls His Experience
With Footwear.
s'The first pair of shoes had in the
army said an old soldier in the New
York Sun, "were two sizes too big for
me. Iwore skies; my first army shoes
were eights. I didn't take them from
choice.-I got the nearest I could to,
my size. We were being fitted out
from head to foot for the first time,
that was when we were mustered in;
and the required numbers of pairs Of
shoes, of assorted sizes, had been de-
livered to each company. When I got
at them they had been culled over so
much that there was nothing left
smaller than eights."
1T didn't think it would be possible
for me to wear shoe two sizes too big
for me, but I tried pair on. They
were brogans, having flaps, with two.
eyelets on each side, lacing over the
instep with leather shoe strings. They
tied snugly, SO that the heel and often
part of the shoe, and the sole, did not
shuck on the foot The forward part.
of my foot felt as though it were out
doors; but I thought they might do; I
had got to have pair of shoes, and I
took them.
ST wore those shoes for months, and
with the greatest comfort They were
enormous, or they looked so to me.
As soon as I began to wear them the
thick leather of the uppers bumped up
into big, rounded edges, with valleys.
between, across the top, giving to the,
top of the shoe sort Of futed or COR
rugated effect. These corrugations
remained always just the same as long
as wore the Shoes They were not
what you would call a handsome shoe,
but, as I said, they did not shuck
around on my feet, and they were.
mighty comfortable.
'But it doesn't follow that after that
I always got shoes two sizes too big
for me; as matter of fact, [ didn't.
but always did get shoes plenty large
for me; plenty; and found comfort in
wearing them.
Sometimes we used to draw boots;
cavalry boots. And it was kind O. fun
to get boots. I remember very well
the first pair of boots drew. I think
I felt perhaps in little maturer sort
of way, though not much so, either)
about as much pleased over that pair
of boots as I did with my first red
tops when was boy. 70 get on a.
pair of cavalry boots sort of made a.
man feel little bit less like plodding
infantryman, and little more like
cavalryman; it gave him a sort Of a.
horse-and- sabre touch. But this was
only as he walked down the company
street after drawing the boots from the
quartermaster; the next day, on picket,
the boots were about the same to him
as shoes would have been.
"Still there were men who preferred
boots and always drew boots when they
could get them. But for myself I like
shoes better. A mounted man. of
course, wants boots; but according to
my notion the most comfortable thing
for an infantry soldier to wear is a.
good, roomy shoe that can be made
snug enough somewhere so that it won't
shuck around ON the foot.

THE SECRET.

Over the gray leagues of ocean
The infinite yearneth alone:
The forests with wandering emotion
The thing they know not intone;

A million lamps in the blue;
But lover he shall be it
If one sweet maid is true.
