JOHN HoEsCH ROBBED.
Deputy Secretary of State Touched
OFF While He Slept.

John Hoesch, Deputy Secretary of
State, was greatly surprised when he
arose to dress yesterday morning at the
lightness of his trousers: and no won
der, for the most thorough ransacking
failed to produce even a 5-cent piece.
When he went to bed the night before
the sum of $240.50 reposed in his trous-
ers pockets, so there was, CONSERVATION
in the Assistant Secretary's mind, and
the most thorough searching failed TO
develop a clew to the missing coin
Later, after Mr.. Hoesch had con-
suited his wife, they decided that the
pockets must have been rifled during
the lady's temporary absence from the
room, while Mr. Hoesch slept. The
trousers were found on the floor when
their owner began to dress, and on
them was the door key, as if it had
been thrown in contempt of it's sup
posed office
Policeman Maley went to work on
the case, but up to a late hour last
night he had developed nothing beyond
the theory that the burglar probably
knew Hoesch's somnolent habits, as
well as the location of the room and
the exits of the State House Hotel The
police and the robbed man succeeded

ing the day, but the facts got out last
evening. probably through the garru-

a leak had sprung in that great embank-
ment which saves Holland from the devas-
tations of the hungry sea. It was early IN
the night, and no one was near At hand
The leak was small when he found it, but
he knew that the action of the water would
enlarge it long before morning, and wash
away the entire embaukrrent, inundate the
country and destroy his own and thou
sands of homes So he bravely put his
finger in the crevasse, and kept it there all
the long night through, until help came and
the opening was properly stopped. He had
saved his country.

THE GAMES CONTINUE.
In Spite Of Much Talk the Sports
Keep at It.

AS to gambling in Sacramento, vol
umes might be written-but the situa-
tion may be summarized in a nutshell,
by a few words uttered by those who
know most about it,
.Kripp's keno games are running" :"
said Officer Bagley last night, 'for Off
Ger Pennish and have been lowering
about the joint for two nights. We've
tried to get in, but there are two look
outs, and whenever We make a dash
they shut us out. You know we can't
use force without warrant, and no
warrant has been placed in our hands"
Chief DWyer said last night: Il
hope to wear Kripp out by shadowing
his place. and driving away business.
1t is the best way to close the games. :"
City Attorney De Ligne: The Off
GERS have a perfect right to batter down
a door to serve a warrant. Men not
known to be policemen might be sent
to the games, if there We're a desire to
close them.
A "Record-Union" reporter went to
Kripp's last night to see the shadow

at Sixth and ] streets. following orders
they stood there, and heard cries Of

Constable Alter stood by with a SINH

Corwin Disconcerted.

The general impression is, said the
Professor, that Corwin was never dis
concerted by any antagonist. But there
was an old story current in Central
Ohio thirty-five or forty years ago,
showing the contrary. Soon after An
tioch College, at Yellow Springs, began
to achieve reputation under Horace
Mann, there was an outbreak among
the students. In trying to quiet the
disturbance one Of the Professors was
roughly handled. The Professor insist
ed that the ringleader in the hazing
frolic threatened him with, heavy
cane, and finally struck him. The stu
dent was arrested on complaint of the
officers of the college, who were rep
resented in court by Tom Corwin.
"Corwin's great reputation and his
manner took nearly all the fight out of
the students who were standing by the
parties under arrest. Corwin was car
rying all before him, making witnesses
say almost what he wanted them to
say, when one of the principal Of
tenders took the stand. This young
fellow admitted that the Professor was
threatened with canes, but denied that
he was struck by any one. He said, in
fact, the boys only wanted to scare the
Professor, and had no thought of hurt
ing him. The witness was a quiet, ath-
letic fellow, and as he made this ex-
PLANTATION he smiled at the exaggerated
look of amaZement on Corwin's face.
"Corwin made the witness show how
the canes We're fourished about the
Professors head, and questioned him
persistently as to how close the canes
went to the Professors nose. He be-
gan with five inches and forced the
witness to say that the distance was
not greater than three inches two
inches, one inch. Then, triumphant, he
took the cane from the hand of the
witness, and, f1ourishing it about the
young fellows head, so close as to
make him dodge, thundered: If man
should flourish a. cane about your head
like this, and this, and this, within an
inch of your nose or ear or hair, what
would you think, what would you do.

ing this way and that, much to the
of the spectators, suddenly
sprang to his feet, and initiating Cor

his humorous voice, said: I would well

Glenn County
and Willows.

Correspondence Record Union.)
Eds. Record Union: The thriving
little town of Willows, the county seat
Of Glenn, presents quite a different ap-
pearance to-day to the eyes of your cor
respondent to what it did twelve months
ago. when the prospect of an utter fail
ure of the wheat crop was expected.
Although it did not prove complete
failure then, there was a spirit of de-
preston and evil forebodings as to the
future.
To-day all is changed. Business seems
to be thriving in all lines; vacant
houses are a thing of the past; every
ONE is cheerful and hopeful for the
future, and If the immense wheat fields
one can see from the dome of the
Courthouse, extending to the horizon In
every direction, are an index to the
destiny of Willows, the spirit of con-
tentment is easily accounted for, as
never in the history of Glenn County
have there been such flattering pros
poets for wheat and barley.
The country at this season, from an
elevation, usually presents the ap-
pearance of an immense checker-board
but this season at least three-fourths of
the county is in grain.
The immediate country around Will
lows is not for sale It is a matter Of
impossibility to get a small tract OF
good land, but in the foothills to the
west, a most healthful and desirable
locality, land can be had in small
tracts and at reasonable figures.
The big dry canal near Willows looks
lonesome, and until water is made to
flow through it there will not be much
increase in the population of the plains

ADJUSTMENTS.

InlS evening at the C1un1e opera
house Manager Ficks takes his benefit,
when Denis O'Sullivan, the accom-
plished baritone and actor, will give
an evening of song. The program, en-
.sbracing Irish, German and operatic Sc
lections, was given in full in yester-
days Record Union," and it is surely
An attractive one. The entertainment
is unique, declared by all the press to
be charming and as decidedly orig
inal as it is chaste and spirited. Mr..
OSulhvan has just finished his year S
contract with Francis Wilson, in that
successful opera, THE Little Corporal,
in which O'Sullivan sang the part of
the romantic and prosecuted Marquis
de Saint Andre. Modern Irish music
is little known in this country; such
composers as Villiers Stanford, Arthur
Somervell, Adelaide Alicia Needham m
and Charles Wood, to whom we owe
some of the most beautiful music of
this generation, are only names here.
It is given to Mr. O'Sullivan to inter
pret them with the hunor, the pathoS
and the touching patriotism of his Irish
blood, as well ais with the highest art
and a splendid voice. A host of COM
mandatory press notices of Mr. OSul-
livan are before us from Irish and
American papers. We select some of
each:
Down Recorder, Downpatrick, No

the songs of the soil, met with un-
stinted favor. Mr.. O'Sullivan left moth

Cork Herald, November IL, 1896:
ssThe truest ard most aggerated
rendering of Irish song belongs to an
other American Of Irish descent, Denis
O'Sulivan. In the Interpreters of
our national songs we have had some
that stand head and shoulders above
the rest. Most prominent among them
Is William Ludwig, But,
though it may appear hypercritical to
say so, Mr.. Ludwig's brogue is now
and then too rich for the average type
of Irish rustic. In the case Of Mr..
O'Sullivan, if he errs at all, it is on
the side of refinement, but we are in
clined to agree with him to the letter,
and we accept his reading of the
piquancy and Willingness of Barney

and Kitty Magee,' as the best that has
been offered to the public in this gen.

MANY PENSIONS WANTED.
Of the Men who Fought
against Spain.

Commissioner OF Pensions II.
Clay Evans has prepared a schedule
of the number of applications for pen
sions filed by nhevarious regiments
that served in the Spanish war up to
March 81. The number of claims
does no. appear to bear any relation
to the amount Of active service seen
by soldiers, as several regiments that
were constantly in the front of battle
are not included in the list of those
presenting the largest number Of
claims. The 34th Michigan volun-
teer infantry has filed more applica
tions than any other regiment of
volunteers or regulars. Three hun
dred and ninety eight officers and
men from that State are looking for
public funds, being one out Of every
three soldiers. This regiment was
in General Duffeld's brigade in
Cuba. Second and third on the list
are the 1st District of Columbia
volunteers and the Sth Ohio regi-
ment of volunteers, neither of which
landed in Cuba until after the fight
ing was practically over. The Dis
.trict regiment filed 352 applications
and the Sth Ohio only three less, or
$40. The Ninth massachusetts
comes fourth, with 3l9 claims, and
the 2nd Massachusetts, with BIT
applications, stands fifth When
asked to give the names of the Off
GERS who had applied for pensions,
Commissioner Evans positively re-
fused to do so, saying that he did
not want any animosities stirred up
among the men ofthe regiments.
