Tame Sparring

The East Side clubs boxing exhibition
last night was sparsely attended, and the
bouts proved of a tame character, all re-
sulting in draws. Pete Casey and young
Asevedo, however, put up a clever four
round exhibition. the last round of which
was very lively. Casey was nearly out at
the close, but Asevedo refused to complete
the job.
Burkhardt's opponent not appearing, Ase-
edo took his place and spared three rounds.
The wnd-up was a ten-round affair be-
tween Eddie McGraw of San Pedro and Joe
Edwards of the East Side McGraw had
all the best of 1t up to the fifth round when
both were too weak to do any damage. The
contest was ruled to be draw at the end of
the tenth round. A stiff punch would have
settled either man, but neither had the
strength to land it.

KIDNAPPED
Eugene Morris Bagged His Baby as a
Hostage

Eugene Morris Bagged His Baby as a
Hostage
Eugene Morris, of Republic and New
High streets, kidnapped six months old
baby from its mother last night, and
though he knew the woman was tormented
with fear while her child was away, he per-
sisted in retaining it until persuaded by the
police to surrender it.
Ella Dominguez, of $50 Buena Vista street,
is the mother of the child, and as Morris
has been consorting with her for long time,
he is credited with being its father. The
two had quarrel of some character, and
yesterday about 7 o'clock Morris went to
the woman's house. While she was attending
her father, the court interpreter, who is ~
ing at the point of death, Morris stole the
baby. The first intimation the mother had
of her loss was when she saw Morris run
ming down the street with the precious
bundle in his arms. She went in pursuit,
and tried to regain the child, but without
success. She met Officer Pasquale Hiriart
and told him her troubles. Hiriart accom-
panied her to the Morris residence, but found
that the place had been barricaded. He
succeeded in effecting an entrance, but was
met with such storm Of protestations that
he left and communicated with the police
station for further advice or reinforce
ments. Captain Roberts sent Officer Bert
Smith to the aid of Hiriart and ordered the
former to bring the father, mother and
child to the station, unless the father con-
scented to surrender the baby to its mother.
The officers had considerable difficulty in
getting into the Morris house, but the father
finally consented to let the mother have it
until today, when he will take steps to re-
gain the child.

Omaha Souvenirs

Secretary Virgins of the chamber OF
commerce is getting up souvenirs to be dis
tributed at the Los Angeles county depart
ment of the Omaha exposition. They are
tubes, covered with tinsel paper, each 20
contain six English walnuts, 'left-overs'
from the construction of the big elephant.
Southern California in general and Los
Angeles county in particular have achieved
such a wide reputation for open-handed
generosity that 1t has become rather OBJ
ligatory upon us to live up to it. To meet
the expectations of visitors for something
good to eat from California, these attrac-
tive souvenirs have been contrived. Two
cases of fruit and two packages of printed
matter were sent to Omaha yesterday.
Some new mineral collections have been
placed in the exhibition room.

Frozen Sound and So Forth

To the Editor Of the Los Angeles Herald:
1 was very much interested In The Herald's
report of the effect Of extreme solar heat
at points out on the desert. am, however,
of the opinion that the first must have been
the result either of the focalization OF the
suns rays through some transparent SUBJ
stance or upon some oily substance, like
cotton waste.
While have never had much experience
with extreme degrees of heat, have OBJ
served some very interesting phenomena
connected with its absence in more north
ern ATTITUDES.
One of the most interesting Of those ex-
periences occurred while was engaged in
a railway survey on the Northern, up
through the Saskatchewan valley, in the
northern part of the district of Manitoba.
1t occurred during the winter Of 1885, which
many will remember was the coolest ever
known in that section.
We had commenced to run trains over a
portion of the road. when It was found one
morning that. while steam could be blown
freely through the whistle, 1t made no
sound. This has since been satisfactorily
explained upon the theory of the "hiber-
nation of sound" but was not then so well
known.
There was great deal Of complaint made
by people living on the line of the road by
reason of the danger attending the absence
of such signals, but we were powerless to
remedy the trouble.
The most curious fact connected with
this experience was that, owing to this
congelation of the waves Of sound they
seemed to linger long time In the vicinity
Of the railway in this suppressed condi-
ton, until, with a rise in the temperature,
they were released, and the singular phe-
nomenon was observed of these frozen
blasts of the whistle suddenly breaking out
when no train or locomotive was within
miles. This at first mysterious whistling
became very annoying to people living on
the line, but, of course, with the advent Of
spring, 1t soon passed away.
A very amusing incident connected with
this phenomenon occurred near where we
were located. A jug of whisky had been
left by some of the surveying party near
the line. OF course, this of itself would
have been a phenomenon had 1t occurred
on the line Of the Santa Fe or Southern Pa
cific. but here the curious thing was that
couple of Indians came along and found 1t
and proceeded to sample It. Just then one
of those frozen whistles which was floating
near suddenly thawed out with an unearth-
ly scream which 80 frightened the Indians
that they both fell dead with the shock.
No one actually saw the occurrence, but
we found the whisky untouched and tn.
dead Indians, and 1t Is a well-known fact
that nothing but death will keep an Indian
from whisky when he can get at It.
Other railroad men have undoubtedly
had more strange experiences than this,
yet, owing to the scientific facts involved,
have thought that 1t might not be entirely
without interest to them.

Oh Them Colored Ladies'

Deputy Constable Menxer arrested Mrs.
Eva Beeson yesterday on a warrant charg-
ing her with having disturbed the peace Of
Mrs. Marguerite Beach. Both women are
colored. 1t appears from the statements
of the Beach woman that she was coversing
with her accustomed affability with the hus-
band Of Mrs. Beeson on jackson street
when Mrs. Beeson appeared upon the scene
and imperiously inquired what they were
talking about. Mrs. Beach rather resented
the unwarranted intrusion. and did not pro-
pose to officiate as reporter for Mrs. Bee
son. The latter then proceeded to abuse
her. Justice Owens set the case for next
Thursday for trial.

Trouble over a Watch

A portion of the examination Of Alex.
Burmese, charged with stealing a watch
from his brother, when he had prior con-
viction of petty larceny against him, was
held in Justice Owens court yesterday. Bur-
ness claimed that he had had an interest in
tho timepiece, and as such partner had a
right to dispose of the article. The COM
planning witness was absent, and could not
testify, so the court continued the case until
this morning at $50 to enable the officers to
have Burmese in court.

Total Loss by Fire of the Lumber Laden Ship
 W. H. Starbuck.

came together and another consultation was held. The question to be decided was, should the boats remain in the track of passing ships and take the chances of being picked up, or should they make for Hawaii, 2000 miles away. Owing to the limited supply of water it was decided to try to reach Hawaii.
 'The only boat that had a compass and navigating instruments was the captains, so the other two had to fol- low him as closely as possible After three days of fine weather a storm came up and blew very hard during the night The next morning the third boat containing the second mate, stew ard and four sailors, was missing and was not seen again. When the ship wrecked men in the two remaining boats were twelve days on their way to Hawaii another storm came up and the mates boat capsized. The cook was hurt in the accident and sank before help could reach him. The mates craft was now damaged and useless, so the captain had to take him and his crew into his boat. In order to do so nearly all the provisions and stuff in the cap tain's boat had to be thrown overboafd to make room for the men.
 Everybody was then placed on short allowance and for eight days Captain Mcdonald, his wife and three children and the nine members of the crew knew what starvation diet meant Finally they made the island of Maui and land ed at Hookeua, where they were hos pitably received and everything possi- ble was done for their comfort.
 ''The ship was burned in latitude 1910 north, 191 west. No one knows what started the fire. The men lost all their effects and had nothing but what they stood in when they landed at Hookeua. Captain Mcdonald and his family will probably come up from Honolulu on the next steamer
 The agents for the William H. Star buck in San Francisco were the firm of Hind, Rolph & Go. From Cape Town she was to have gone to Newcastle, N. s. w., in ballast, thence to Kahului with load of coal, and thence to New York with a load of sugar. She was 1272 tons net burden and was built in 1882 by Goss, Sawyer & Packard of Bath Maine. She was 194:1 feet long. 39 feet broad and 24:3 feet deep. She was owned by the Sailing Ship William H. Starbuck Company"
 The news of the loss of the Starbuck reached Honolulu by the steamer Mau- na Loa the day the Australia sailed for San Francisco.
