 ing Back With Trophy.

San Diego, Cal, March 1.-The cruiser Albany of the second sIuad- ron of the Pacific fleet, which arrived here yesterday afternoon, brought with her the trophy won at Magdalena bay for the highest target practice record ever made by vessel of the American navy. With target i2 by 21 feet and placed at distance of 1900 yards the cruiser steaming ten knots per hour scored 65 out of the first 66 shots made and register ed the maojrity of them in the bulls eye. This was done with 5 inch guns. Speed was rebreaking feature. The shots were fired in sets of six, the fastest six being made in p seconds and the SlOwest ill 30 seconds.
 The record was made under a pc culiar disadvantage, the entire crew having been vaccinated only ten days before when off the coast of Salvador.

HE WOULDN'T EAT.
Sheriff Was Going to Pry Open
 Prisoners Mouth.

The corps of sheriffs who keep order and an eye on the prisoners in the superior court room were thrown into amazement this noon. When they took dinner to the chief witness for the state, Michael Santi- anna, he calmly informed them that he was through with eating and was going to eschew food on account of his sins. Sheriff O'Brien, who rel ishes a meal as well as the next one, concluded the state witness was off his head or was going to starve him self to death, so he got a straw and tried to open the mans mouth. Such an operation as this, performed by men whom he was unable to con- verse with, seemed to scare the wits out of the man. He evidently thought they were going to choke him or do something similarly vio- lent. He roared with all his might and his friends rushed toward his cell. The sheriffs tried to tell him and them they were merely trying to get him to eat something, for they did not want dead witness for the state on their hands. The mans friends instead of helping the sheriffs seemed to get scared also, and after a number of intellectual ef- forts to get Santianna to open his mouth, the officers gave up the job, that when he is hungry he will be glad to effect a cont promise between his stomach and his conscience, his appetite and his sins

 On His Children.

Chicago, March 11.-A band of farmers residing along the Lake Shore between Winthrop Harbor, Ills. and Kenosha, Wis, armed themselves yesterday with shotguns, revolvers and corn knives and patrolled the lake shore searching for Christian Rasmussen, farmer of the town of Pleasant Prairie, Wis, who is charg- ed with scalding his wife and chill dren.
 Rasmussen in drunken frenzy Monday night it is alleged, heated a large kettle of water, went to the room occupied by his son, four years of age, and his daughter, nine years old and deliberately poured the boil ing water over the children. Mrs Rasmussen attempted to save the lives of the children, and, according to the story the man turned on her and poured the hot water over her as we'll She fled from the house and sought aid of the neighbors, while the children went into another bed room and locked the door, hiding themselves under bed. Neighbors released them later and gave them medical aid
 The sheriff found Rasmussen, who had been in hiding and took him to jail Little Chris the son, is in a critical condition, and Rose, the girl, and the mother are suffering great pain, but it is said they will recover
