GREEN DEFEATS CREEDON.
Twenty Tame Rounds Fought at San
Francisco.

San Francisco, Cal, Dec. 30.-George
Green made his debut in the middle
weight class in a twenty-round bout
with Dan Creedon before the National
Athletic club tonight at Woodward's
pavilion. Green had a shade the better
of the fight UP to the seventeenth
round when Creedon sent his stock uo
by a series of blows on the head and
body. which seemed to stagger Green
for the instant. The last three rounds
were like the majority of the others.
The fight was not particularly an in
teresting one. Many of those present
did not hesitate TO pronounce it a fake.
The decision of Referee Kitchen in
awarding Green the fight was probably
Just, but the men did not seem to be
fighting as hard as they might, and
the contest was a most parlor-like per
formance throughout

Police Etchings.

At 10 o'clock last night a telephone
call at the police department brought
the information that a man bearing
some of the traits of a burglar was
seen wandering around near The Her
aid corner. The informant was Ben T.
Lloyd, who said the fellow had been
going around houses and approaching
people in a very suspicious manner
with his cap pulled low over his eyes
Chief Pratt started Policeman Davies
out on the case, and it was with visions
of arresting a much-Wanted burglar
that the officer hied away. The fellow
was found all right, but he proved the
very embodiment of innocence. He was
a middle-aged man, and had not been
drinking, but was feeble in mind and
had become lost, not being able to find
his way home after dark. He gave
his name, as John Blazzard. and said
he lived out by the 'O'Grand." It ap-
pears that he is a son of old Blazzard
of ''w'ip-stock' fame, well known in
the early days. John was willing to
lodge at the police station all night,
saying he thought he could find his
way home in the morning. When De-
tective Gillespie looked at Blazzard he
laughed and said. I've seen that fell

A Spurgeon Story.

There was an amusing incident in my
early Waterbeach ministry which l nave
never forgotten. One day a gentleman,
who was then Mayor of Cambridge, and
who had more than once tried to correct
my youthful mistakes, asked me If l
really had told my congregation that, If
thief got into heaven, he would be-
gin picking the angels pockets. Yes,
SIR l replied, Il told them that, If 1t
were possible for any ungodly man to
go to heaven without having his nature
changed, he would be none the better off
for being there; and then, by way OF IL
lustration, l said that, were thief to
get in among the glorified, he would re-
main a thief still, and he would so
round the place picking the angels
pockets!" But. my dear young friend, -
asked Mr.. Brimley very seriously don't
you know that the angels haven't any
pockets?" mo, sir,' 1 replied, with
equal gravity, Il did not know that; but
/ am glad to be assured of the fact from
a gentleman who does know. I will
take care to put it all right the first op-
portunity 1 GET
The following Monday morning l
walked into Mr.. Brimley's shop and
said to him, "I set that matter right
yesterday, SIR" What matter?" he
inquired. why, about the angels
pockets!" What did you say?" he
asked, in a tone almost of despair at
what he might hear next. "Oh, sir, /
just told the people was sorry to say
that l had made a mistake the last time
I preached to them; but that had met
a gentleman-the Mayor of Cambridge
who had assured me that the angels
had no pockets, so / must correct what
I had said, as I did not want anybody to
go away with a false notion about hea-
ven. I would, therefore, say that If a
thief got among the angels without
having his nature changed, he would try
to steal the feathers out of their wings!"
Surely you did not say that?" said Mr..
Brimley. II did, though" I replied.
Then he exclaimed, 'I'll never try to
set you right again." which was jus-
exactly what I wanted him to say

The San Diego Forger Lately Paid

A dispatch from San Diego, published

of various swindles practiced on San

he assumed to enable him to fleece
banks, railroad offices, ETC., McKeen
being a responsible citizen of Terre

a wonder.

he was wanted in a number of Eastern

the Klondike trade this year was going
to be greatly enlarged and he thought
it might properly be taken up by the
chamber. AS this is undoubtedly a city
that offers special advantages to those
outtitting for that country, he moved
that the matter be referred to a spec
ial committee, to examine into the SUBJ
ject and report.
The motion was carried and the Chair
appointed Messrs Miller, Hall and
Bentley
In relation to the proposed electric
road the President reported that he
had last week received a call from an
agent of Mr.. Anderson, who told him
that all negotiations were off. 1t was
evident that this conclusion had been
forced upon Mr.. Anderson through the
fact that in Mr.. Alsips absence there
was no one left for him to negotiate
with. 1t was not on account Of any
failure of the chamber to perform what
it had been asked to do, as it had done
its part and it was simply the case
that Mr.. Anderson not having Mr.. Alsip
to treat with, had concluded to do moth
ing more at present.
Secretary Coleman read an agreement
by land owners along the Yolo side of
the river to build up their levees to the
required hight, on promise of the Aud
iting Board to the Commissioner of
Public Works to put in easements. 1t
was a matter that concerned the cham
Der, and the work of Forwarding the
reclamation of the river in this respect
should be kept up
The opinion of the chamber was with
Mr.. Coleman and the committee was
requested to continue its labors in the
matter.
Secretary Coleman stated as an evil
dence that the work Of the State Board
of Trade was appreciated in the East,
He had already this week received three
applications for a copy of the State
Board of Trades pamphlet. He had
written to the Secretary of the board,
but had been told that no more copies
could be spared at present.
Secretary Coleman said it had been
thought that it might be we'll to make
the annual meeting more of social af-
fair than heretofore and would result
in a larger attendance, as there are
a number of members who, although
faithful in putting up their dues, rarely
attend the meetings. There would be
an incoming and outgoing President
and little exchange of social courte-
sizes would enliven the occasion and
make it more memorable. Several
members of the Suffer Club approved
of the project and he thought it could
be held there in the shape Of a smoker
or something else.
The Chair appointed Messrs. Bentley,
Van Voorhies and Breuner as a COM
mittee to report on the matter.
The meeting then adjourned.

There are telltale actions in
most men. If you see a man
continually hesitating, nervous
and worried at small trifes, you
may be sure that there IS some
thing wrong with his nervous
system. He probably has bad
dreams, and his sleep does him
no good. He wakes up in the
morning tired and with a coated
tongue. These are symptoms
OF nervous debility. He is vast
ing away.

eruor -Budd in support of the petitions
for Executive clemency in the case OF
Salter d. Worden, now under sentence
of death for the part he played in the
Yolo train-wrec6ing tragedy in July

opinion on the question Of Worden's
moral responsibility:

knows very little of law, and lawyer
knows nothing Of medicine, and botn
are deficient in essential requisites OF
their professions.
have been in the active practice OF
medicine for more than thirty years
eight years of that time engaged In the
treatment and management or the IN
sane. At the time of the great ra1l-
road strike in 1894 I was a resident OF
Woodland l frequently saw and pre-
scrfbed for Salter D. Worden before
during and after his trial, and unhesl-
tatingly pronounce him morally insane.
Insanity consists in the abnormal
action of mental functions The general
division into intellect-feeling and VIII
is accepted by all physicians. In moral
insanity the intellect may be unam-
paired. Moral insanity is the inaolnty
of the will to control the conduct OF
ones knowledge form marked oy
perversion and depravity of the moral
sense. apparently without impairment
of the reasoning and intellectual facul-
ties.
In the classification Of insanity, moral
insanity comes under the class "emerg-
ing from constitutional neuropathlc
states, usually hereditary, though oc-
casionally acquired It is a general
law Of biology that like produces like.
General and constitutional hkenesses,
and alsospecific and organic weaknesses
are transmitted. There is a mass OF evl-
dence to show that the tendency to
insanity is transmissible, and often the
exact type of mental disease has re
peated itself. But the first generation
may be hysterical, second epileptic,
and the third have some other form
OF abnormal condition Of the mental
faculties.
I have been informed that several Of
Worden's relatives have been insane
Even as a boy, his parents could not
control him, and as man he has
violated every law, moral and statutory,
repeatedly.
The term moral insanity introduces
a vexed question, one which lawyers
do not like to admit when a crime has
been committed, but it is undoubtedly
true that from congenital vice of or
ganization there may be permanent
moral deficiency, which arises in con-
nection with homeopathic states, inner
fted or acquired.
All admit that the excessive use OF
alcoholic drink is the direct cause or
quite a large per cent. of insanity. The
relatives and acquaintances of Worden
all testify that he had been a hard
drinker for many years. You can well
imagine the effect alcoholic stimulants
would have on a brain already unbal-
anced.
While I do not believe a jury Of lay
men would find Worden insane-be-
cause when I saw him he had neither
delusions nor hallucinations-I do be-
lieve expert physicians who have made
mental diseases a study would find him
morally insane. The lawyers have had
their inning; now give the doctors
chance, and Worden the benefit of a
doubt ;, w. w MACFARLANE-
