OFFICER PLEADS FER BOY
WHOM He HAD ARRESTED
Charged With Cruelty to Horse, the
Youth Is Fined, but Court Deals
LenientIy With Him

After arresting a young man on a
charge of most inhuman treatment to
a crippled horse, yesterday morning,
Officer thinner of the local society for
the prevention of cruelty to animals,
went before Justice Austin and after
stating the case, moved with compass
sion for the boys widowed mother,
appealed to the court for a suspended
sentence in the case of the youth.
The story told by the officer to the
court is a pathetic one. Several days
ago horse belonging to a man named
Phelps was struck by car near the
junction of Temple and Newhall streets.
The horse was so badly injured that
the owner gave the animal to E T..
McAbee, a young man who lives in a
small cottage at the junction Of the
two streets.
McAbee took the crippled animal and
failing to understand the terrible con-
dition of the beast, turned it out to
pasture in a nearby lot.
When the horse was found it was
dying from the terrible wounds and
was quickly put out of misery. Nc
Abee was arrested.
In making his plea for the young
man, officer thinner said,, "While the
offense committed by this young man
in allowing the horse to remain unat-
tended for several days was a most
cruel one. yet the circumstances sur
rounding the case are such as demand
some leniency towards this boy. His
mother is aged and without other sup
port and this young man has been
keeping her in food and shelter. AT
the present time he is paying off a
mortgage upon his little home and with
these facts to consider. 1 beg the len
iency of the court in giving sentence"
After making the plea in behalf OF
the man he was prosecuting, officer
thinner Withdrew and the court i'm
posed a fine of $40, but suspended the
sentence upon promise of good be-
havior

AUBURN, Cal, Jan. 2S--The selec-
ton OF a jury in the trial of Adolph
Weber for the murder Of his mother
was resumed this morning. The at
tendance of spectators has fallen off
considerably. In all forty-eight tales
men have been examined so far, many
being excused for cause At present
the prosecution has exercised six of its
peremptory challenges and the defense
nine of the number allowed II.
Only two more jurors were accepted
out of a number examined this morn
ing. They are James Doherty of For
est Hill and f. e. Colburn of Sunny
South. Judge Prewett made order
just before adjournment for drawing
an extra venire of seventeen talesmen,
as prospect was that the ninety already
drawn would not be sufficient to COM
plete the jury. The venlre was made re-
turnable Tuesday morning in order
that the officers would have time to
reach talesmen at some distance.
The court hopes by this means to
dNOlQ loss OF time ana inconvenience 10
Jurors and witnesses as we'll as expense
to the county. The Judge suggested
this morning that in order to avoid loss
of time and trouble in questioning
talesmen who had heard the case dis
cussed by witnesses to eliminate all
names of talesmen residing in Auburn
precinct. Attorney General Webb
said: Your Honor. we have already
lost one of our peremptory challenges
on an Auburn man and 1 would like
to see the defense lose some of theirs
to make things even. 1t places us at
a disadvantage"
The counsel for the defense retorted
that the prosecution was liable to lose
some more If it kept Auburn residents
on the list, but the attorney general
said he would take the risk. However.
a little later the prosecution announced
that after two names had been drawn
1t would consent to eliminate the Au-
burn talesmen, but the defense refused
to consent. The court then adjourned
until Monday morning at a. m.

Friends

George Kishi, a Japanese. of 1885
DeLong street was severely If not
fatally burned last night by the explo-
sion of an oil stove. His entire body
was fearfully scorched and injuries
from which he will probably die re-
suited from the explosion. Kishi is
employed by Ben Kishi as a cook. In
lighting an oil stove yesterday he
spilled oil on his clothing. which was

MUSIC AND
THE DRAMA
v. Paehmann, the Pianist
BY JEAN DE CHAUVENET.

Vladimir de Pachmann, who will play
at Simpson auditorium the 30th, is the
greatest living pianist. The keystone
of a pianist is the touch. 1t is the
cleverness, skill and tender beauty of
his touch that makes him the high
priest consecrated with power to evoke
from the esthetic vibrations of sound,
itself
Many pianists can conceive of what
they are playing but fail in their musi-
cal expression De Pachmann more
than any other living person has this
magic, he paints a picture in which no
two notes are colored the same; for
each note is made to vibrate with a
passion of his heart, which in turn
re-echo in the hearts blood of the
listener.
Liszt said to him, after 1 am gone
you alone will cause my touch to be
remembered"
AS to teachers he boasts of none for
he says, Each man is his own
teacher He understands the power
of being in tune with the universal
creation and does not restrict the piano
to the soul of man alone, but ex-
presses the infinite through transcen-
dental manifestation in art, bringing
as he does the soul of auditor to the
same realization.
Yet after all his versatility in dra-
matte emotions and touch never fail to
impress on'all the genius of his inborn
nature. . -s s-N

JOYOUS DAY FOR
SICK CHILDREN
REMODELED HOSPITAL Is
0fENED
Society Women Furnish Wards for
Relief of uffering-Flowers
Provided for Every
Patient

Sorrow made way for joy, and pain
was forestalled by pleasure at the
Children's hospital yesterday when the
board of managers opened the doors for
the first reception.
For several months past workmen
have been turning the old structure at
the corner of Alpine and Castalar
streets into model hospital, and 1t
was this building that the guests were
invited to inspect yesterday afternoon
and evening.
The rooms, which are all finished in
white, were beautifully decorated in
blossoms of every hue sent in by MEM
bers of the board. In the dining room,
where tea table was presided over
by Mrs John Banning and Mrs. Scott
Helm, yellow jonquils and hyacinths
were used. Snow white Easter lilies
were banked on the mantel and ferns
were used in profusion. All these
flowers were sent by Mrs. George Pat
ton and had been used at her recep :
tion the day before. Poinsettias and
carnations were used in the other
rooms.
On the lower floor of the main build
ing the reception room, hall, dining
room, buffers pantry and kitchen. are
located, and off from these is the oper-
ating room, the sterilizing room and the
anthestising room. These have been
fitted up with all modern appliances.
The annex is Joined to the main
building by veranda extending
around a court, which is being planted
with flowers and grass One end of the
porch is enclosed in glass to form a
glass room for convalescing patients.
Gifts From Clubs
The main ward Is in this building,
and the beds provided by the Friday
Morning club. the Independent church,
Terminal Island and the Ackersons are
In this room. Little children of all ages
many of them suffering from pain
full diseases-were there yesterday.
Some were tucked away in little white
cots and others were playing on the
floor with toys and blocks. Flowers
were used to decorate this room, and
each little tot was given bouquet.
At the opposite side of the hall a
beautiful little room with brass plate
on the door bore the name Virgie.
This room has been fitted up by Mrs.
Andrew Glassell in memory of her
12-year- old daughter. Virgie died four
years ago, and now there is to be a
chance for many a little girl to be
nursed back to life or to have her
dying hours made brighter. The room
is fitted up in blue and white. The
linen has been embroidered in blue and
the name worked on each piece. The
mirror was wreathed in a frame of
violets and smilax and large punches
Of the flowers were placed in the room.
The windows are the most remarkable
part and represent hours of work.
Around each one there is a frame of
transparencies.

Jim?" she ended, a trife regretfully.

he said.
~ "Oh, faint no great matter, any
way" she declared easily. I'VE ought
to be thankful we've got this chance
to git married and git start"
At that moment soane one came
stamping through the outer Office. The
door was Jerked open, and the mana
ger of the fair, red-faced and putting,
stood before them.
Ready" he asked, with business
like directness.
The girl rose, a tribe pale, and
thrust her arm through the young
mans. ....a
"Come on, them" said the manager,
leading the way.
They stepped from the gloom Of the
Office into the glare Of the afternoon
sunshine, the girl breathing fast and
clinging tightly to the mans arm; the
man shambling along awkwardly, his
eyes dxed vacantly on the bits Of
cloud in the sky; and the manager
moving along majestically before them,
his red face wreathed in smiles Of pro-
fessional courtesy for the benefit Of
the crowd. In the band stand the mu-
sicians struggled manfully with the

rived at last, the crowd let itself loose
and howled. Thus they made the way
through the lane opened up in the
crowd, and came finally to the balloon,
where a solemn-faced young clergy
man awaited them.
The manager turned and caught the
girl In his arms.
I'm we CO." he said cheerfully, as he
lifted her into the car.
The groom-to-be clambered in clum-
silly, and the clergyman followed, his
method Of embarkatIon detractlng
somewhat from his dignity. The rope
was unreeled from the big windlass,
and as the balloon crept slowly up

bled. The young man slipped an arm
about the girl.

bravely, although he felt her trem-

they saw men running toward them

man essayed one look over the side of
the car, but those upturned faces far
below gave him a queer sensation, and
drawing the girl yet closer to him he
fixed his eyes on the clergyman's face.
A moment later there was a slight
shock. He was aware Of a feeling OF
giddlness; he heard q cry of horror
from the crowd far below. The cere-
mony stopped short. Indeed, the cler-
gyman dropped the book from his
nerveless hands. The girl chung un-
steadily to the side of the car, while
the two men, clutching the ropes,
peered over the side.
What they saw struck terror to their
hearts. The crowds, the fair grounds,
the whole earth, was falling away
from them with sickening rapidity.
Many feet below them the broken end
Of the treacherous rope swayed and
dangled in the breeze
We've broke loose" gasped Jim In
tones Of horror.
The three, white-faced and trem-
bling, stood staring at one another,
stunned by the suddenness of it all. 1t
was the girl who recovered her wits
first.

ed, "but, anyway, we'll be married."
1t was indeed strange wedding.

WHY DOCTORS DIE YOUNG
Excessive Nervous Strain and Insult
flcient Rest Take Them OF.

Excessive Nervous Strain and Insult
fcient Rest Take Them OF.
The premature death of physicians
has long been known, but it receives
to little comment, as a study Of the
causes must suggest remedy or two.
The 1fty-ffth annual report of the reg
istrar general shows that the diseases
which claim the most victims among
physicians relatively to all males are
govt and diabetes, and that there Is a
high relative mortality from diseases
of the nervous system, circulatory sys-
TEN and kidneys.
From the nature Of his habits the
physician is not subject to accidents,
and though he is brought into contact
with infection to greater extent than
other men his preventive means are
successful and his mortality from In
lection Is low. Freedom from prolong-
ed muscular strains and high blood
tension apparently saves him from ar
| terioscelrosis, but suicide claims many
and so do the drug habits acquired by
the nervously exhausted. It has been
said that three-fourths of French NOR
phine users are physicians.
The cause Of the physicians early
death is evidently the excessive ner-
vous expenditure. insufficient rest and
defective nutrition inseparable from
his calling with its broken and restrict
ed sleep, irregular hours Of work, rest
and meals, the worry when lives de-
pend upon his judgment and the lack
Of a day Of complete relaxation in

less its customs provide for numerous
holidays when care Is thrown to the
winds, for no nervous system Is capa-
BILE Of constant strain.
The physician who sees his patients
every day in the week, month after
month, and can not learn to forget
them when he goes home merely burns
the candle at both ends He violates
the law obeyed by every other animal,
that there shall be short periods Of
moderate exert1on interrupted by long
er periods of rest when repairs are
made. 1t is not too much work as a
rule, but scattered work which pre-
vents rests.-American Medicine.
