How to Climb Stairs.

A physician. who declares that but
very few people know how to walk up
stairs properly, gives these instruc-
tions: Usually person will tread on
the ball of his foot in taking each
step. This is very tiresome and wear
ing on the muscles, as it throws the
entire suspended weight of the body on
the muscles of the legs and feet. You
should, in walking or climbing stairs.
seek for the most equal distribution
of the body's weight possible In
walking up stairs your feet should be
placed squarely down on the step, heel
and all, and then the work should be
performed, slowly and deliberately. In
this way there is no strain upon any
particular muscle. but each one is do
ing it's duty in a natural manner. The
man who goes up stairs with spring
you may be sure is no philosopher, or,
at least, his reasoning has not been
directed to that subject. The doctor
might have gone a little farther in the
same line, and protested against the
habit which many persons have or
bending over half double when they
ascend a flight of stairs. In ex-
ertion of this kind, when the heart is
naturally excited to- more rapid action,
it is desirable that the lungs should
have full play But the crouching po-
sition interferes with their action, the
.blood is imperfectly aerated, and there
is trouble right away. Give the lungs
a chance to do their work everywhere,
and at all times.-Good Housekeeping.

After the demonstration an ARRAY oc-
Cured which shows that considerable
feeling has been caused by the presence

Williams of Company G., Twenty-f1tth
Infantry. was with a brother soldier
examining a revolver at a street cor

put the weapon away. Williams re-

weapon, but it missed fire. Meanwhile
the soldier blazed away. He "as
overpowered before any one was hurt.
During the struggle to overcome the
negro several white men struck him III
the face. Williams was locked up at
the City Hall.
Twenty minutes after WlllaInS ar

The Fidelity Deposit Company OF
Maryland is on the bonds of Widber
in the sum of 100000. The MAJOR
will call upon the company to make
good Widber's defalcation.
Widber was arrested at Walnut Greek
at 1870 p. m. to-day by Constable PAIN
er on telegraphic instructions from
Chief Lees. He was brought to this city
by Detectives Cody and Wren and Cap
tain Culladen, the latter representing
the Fidelity Trust Company. The party
reached here at IL o'clock tonight, and
Widber was at once taken to the city
prison.
Widber, who admits the shortage,
claims that he took the money to in
vest in mines. his investments coming
out badly 1t is known, however, that
he has been playing the races heavily,
and both his friends and the police be
lieve that all the amount Of the defal-
cation has been paid over to the book
makers.
Montanya informed Mayor Phelan to-
day of his discovery of the shortage,
apparently amounting to S116Oo0. In
the meantime Widber had disappeared,
but his subsequent arrest on his ranch
was considered as indicating that he
was not so much trying to escape as to
secure a few days for recuperation be-
fore undergoing the ordeal of arrest.
He is reported to have been drinking
heavily Of late, and has made several
threats to commit suicide.
The municipality will not be a loser
by the defalcation, being protected by
a $2JOOOO bond Among Widber's
sureties were Chief of Police Lees, Pri-
vate Detective Harry n. Morse and a
surety company, the last two mentioned
sureties being down for 100000 each
and Lees for $4,000
Widber was young man, about 3O
years of age, succeeding his father as
Treasurer. Widber senior was a pi-
oneer druggist, and served two terms
as City Treasurer. Young Widber was
his fathers Chief Deputy, and upon
the Treasurers death during his sec
Ond term, three years ago, the son, at
the request of his fathers bondsmen,
was appointed to serve for the unex-
pired term by the Board of Supervisors.
At the last municipal election, eighteen
months ago, young Widber was elect
/ ed to the office for the regular term.
