But the gangplank had to berun up and a number of deckhands ran down to the dock to make it fast, and several others went with them to assist in getting out the forward gangplank.

He also said that he was to meet Lambert on Market and Kearny streets during the evening. “In view of his previous misstatements the officers believed that he was still try- | ing to mislead them and that Lambert was hidden on the vessel. | “Holland at e telegraphed to Oakland for a couple additional men to search the steamer more thoroughly and to watch | her to-night so that Lambert could have o chance of escaping. Detective Williams and Sergeant Hodgkins were sent over. “From the officers of the vessel we learned that Lambert had not purchased a ticket in Honolulu, but had boarded the, steamer from a boat after she left thedock paying for a steerage passage under the name of N. A. Newell.”” It was rumored in Oakland vesterday that Lambert had succeeded in getting | past Chief Shaeffer on the gangplank of the steamer and had reached Oakland. Several officers were called off their beats | and sent in citizens’ clothes to watch his | mother’s house. After getting clear of the steamer Lam- bert, it appears, came uptown and began to visit his favorite saloons, the resorts where he made himself familiar before his | departure for the island republic. ’Fhe detectives learned o} his movements | and finally caught him in Howe’s saloon, | 105 Eddy street. Police Officer Riley was the man who arrested Lambert. Notice | was sent to Denny Holland, the Oakland | detective, and he and two other officers took Lambert across the bay. Lambert was met at_the station by a | delegation of his friends, who had been informed of his arrest and were waiting for him. Lamoert had evidently been drinking heavily, and was in & maudlin state when landed in the County Pris *“You will understand,” he said, “tha am the one who must answer to an indict- ment for the shortage which is claimed to exist, and until I can see an attorney I can not give a statement of this matter.” I can- tell you, however, that within an ho after I am at liberty I can explain this whole business and show that there is no shertage at all. “Every dollar which passed through my hands can be accounted for and will be | accounted for. Why I went away I cannot | tell you except that it was in the interest of other parties, and I shall protect them by keeping my mouth closed. Why did I come back? Simply because I had busi- ness to attend to and wanted to see te it personally. I was not offered any induce- ments to surrender myself, and when I got through my business I sent word to the officers where they could fihd me.” How he left the steamer is a mystery to the detecti who were watching the Lambert’s own story of his ng is that he took a sack of mail on his shoulder and walked down the mail chute with the deckhands, passing within a few feet of the detectives on his way up the dock. Lambert came back alone, although it is said that his wife will return on the next steamer, John A. Mahaney, father of Mrs. Lam- bert, stated last night that he received no letter from his daughter since the Peru arrived on April 8. In a letter from Honolulu received here on that date Mrs. Lambert wrote that her marriage had been solemnized before a minister in Honolulu and she and her husband were very happy. But she added she had grown homesick | future in_his hands, and having and expected to return to San Francisco on the next steamer, g 3 Lambert himself wrote to_his father-in- law, telling him he intended to come back and bring his wife along. 2 It is said in Oakland that if Lam- bert is compelled to stand trial his defense will be insanity and that man witnesses can be brought who will testify that for a month before he disap- peared he was out of his mind and not ac- countable for his actions. ¢ A police otficer said last evening that he had seen the defaulter walking up' the street staring straight into the heavens or ahead of him and so_oblivious to his sur- roundings as_to fall against passers-by without knowing it. OHARGED WITH PERJURY. A Young Man Who Swore Falsely to a Marriage License. Royal Goldberg, alias Royal Howard, was arrested on the steamer Columbia on her arrival by Ofiicers F. Holbrook and H. McMurray of the Society forthe Preven- tion of Vice. He will bave to answer to the charge of § in falsely swearing, while obtain- ing a marriage license in this city on h 16, that Lizzie Behan was Lizzie ,and that she was over 18 years of age, when in fact she is not yet 16. Goldberg married her and took her to Portland where he put her in a house of ill fame. He left her there and returned to the city, when he was arrested as stated. Goldberg is a young man, bnt is well known to the police, and has been arrested on many occasions. DIMNED A BSIG STAR, The Law Gives Miss McAleer’s Histrionic Ambition a Death Blow. The Young Dramatic Aspirant Sent to the Magdalen Asylum. The artistic dreams of Mary Jane Mc- Aleer, a pretty girl of 17 years, who resided with her aunt, Mrs. O'Sullivan, at 735 Linden avenue, have been rudely dis- pelled. Instead of fulfilling her ambition to shine as a star before the footlights, Mary is now at the Magdalen Asylum, where, in all probability, she will remain until she has attained her majority. The story of Miss McAleer’s career is full | of sentiment and romance. She is of studious habits, and while attending the Mary Jane MoAleer as the Vestal Virgin. public schools here conducted herself properly on all occasions. She had a de- cided fondness for the drama, and early manifested a desire to go upon the stage. Miss McAleer made Ler debut in a farce Pl at Mission Opera Hall some three years ago an amateur tronpe. She did not consider herself adapted to farcical roles, and, like most feminine aspirants for histrionic fame, she decided to study the part of Juliet. After some months of study, she announced that she would ap- pear in that character, but her plan was iled, as among her limited acquaint- there was none who would or could play Romeo to her Juliet. The young girl once appeared as a vestal virgin in a tableau at the Pavilion. On that occasion she met a young man named Smith, who complimented her upon her lent portrayal of the character es- ed by her. He told her to place her won a good record on several barn-storming tours | over the coast he thought himself qualified to give her counsel that might aid her in carrying out her plans for the future. The girl 0’Sullivan, pro- tested in vain against all this. One day Miss McAleer disappeared and Mrs. 0'Sul- livan related her story to Secretary Mc- Comb. The girl was found without diffi- culty and taken to her home. A few weeks ago she disappeared again, and another | complaint having been filed the girl was| found at 520 Bush , where she lived i mity to Smith and a dive e was prompuly arrested, but her promises to do betier in the future fell upon stony ears. When the facts of her case were Telated to Police Judge Low he decided that the Magdalen Asylum was the best place for her, as in its quiet re- treat she could resume the study of the drama, which her acquaintance with Smith had for a brief period interrapted. BABY WAS DRURK. | An Inhuman Mother Gives Liquor to Her Infant. A woman, evidently under the influence of liquor, who was staggering along Second avenue, near Fifty-first street, says the New York Sun of recent date, dropped a bundle that she carried. She picked it up with great difficulty, but at the corner of Forty-sixth street she dropped it again upon the flagging. A policeman, who had been following the woman, picked up the bundle for-her, and was greaily surprised to find that it contained a baby a{;out a year old. The child seemed stupid, and_the officer, thinking it had been hurt, carried it to the Woman’s Hospital at Fifty-first street and Lexington avenue, after having taken the woman to the station-house. The doctors examined the child and declared that it was uninjured, but was drunk. Subse- quently the woman admitted that she had given the baby whisky to keep it quiet. Bhe said she was Mary I{‘yun, 35 years old, a widow, but she refused to tell where she lived. The baby is her own. Yester- day in the Yorkville Police Court Justice Deuel committed the woman to the island for two months. ————— According to Mr. Cross, in his memoir of his wife, the reason she took the name. of George Eliot was, as she explains it, ‘‘because George was Mr. Lewes’Christian nane and Eliot was a good, mouth-filling, easily pronounced \vurfi.” —————— Buy your carpets andfurniture at Mackay's, 715 Market street. * MUTTERINGS: IN - HAWAIL Serious Signs of Unrest and Trouble in the Island Republic. A LETTER THAT MEANS MUCH Dark Hints at Things Which May Come to Pass In the Near Future. There seems to be an ominous mutter- ing in undertones that foretell coming dis- turbances in the republic of Hawaii. At least such appear to be the conditions as seen by a prominent journalist of Hono- lulu. C. W. Ashford, royalist, ex-Attorney- General of Hawaii and polidcal refugee, now in San Francisco, received a letter by the Alameda yesterday which conveys some interesting information and views of the present state of affairs in Hawaii. The letter in question reads as follows: My Dear Ashford: Thanks for files of papers. I am very much ple to see that you couldn’t or wouldn’t keep your mouth shat. The general opinion here is that you ought to be ——. The demand for the CALL is extreme. We go on as usual: the Hawaiians continue in a sullen and very ugly attifud Suhscription- lists for the benefit of the families of lht‘) political prisoners are being circulated, and large amounts are given.

W.O.Smith went to Maui on ‘“‘Government business” and I ded_on being ad d in advance. Iwrote to John Richardson and Noa Kejorikai and e full instructions. The learned Minister fell into the trap. He was asked if the leading Hawaiians on Maul should join Sam Parker in the annexation moyement. Mr. Smith came out flat-footed and answered to the following effect: We emphatically state the Government of Hawail g or asking for annexasion. The po- red to in Article XXX ner quoted by annexation howlers here. We want an independent government and we propose to con- tinue as such. We interpret the “political nnfon” referred to as meaning free trade with the United States and & protectorate from that republic. The Hawalians should take the oath to the republic and become good citizens under our most generous Government, and you should all leave the ques- tion of annexation to yours ever truly, efc., etc., W.

There have been on exhibition and will be sold at the Fifth-avenue Art Galleries on Friday night some of the works of a young artist who must have won high rank but for her untimely death—who indeed might have ranked as the Rosa Bonneur of America, since she chose the same field of work—animal painting. This artist was Miss Marie Guise Newcomb. Good eritics ranked her as our best animal painter among women. There are some eighty paintings in all in the collection, nearly all of them having to do with animals. There are pictures of work horses in Paris, Arab horses and, in fact, studies of all sorts of horses. There are field scenes in which horses, sheep and cows are shown. There are camels from the desert of Biskra. Next to horses come the dogs, and there is a roguish artist’s dog, evidently a beloved model; bull terriers, fox terriers, massive St. Bernards, handsome retrievers and wise-looking ers. Then there are sketches of still life, and a picture of Madi- son square at its busy hour. There are Arab villages and camps, a picture of the Nortk River by night, a view ‘‘Near Bar- negat Bay,” “An Adirondack Hayfield,” a desert scene, and other paintings from ‘the brush of Miss Newcomb that show that the young woman had a talent akin to genius, so that perhaps the “Art Inter- change” is right in saying that “in the particular field which she had chosen— that of animal painting—she leaves no successor.”” Certainly no one can view the collection and not regret the untimely death of the promising young artist.—New York Commercial Advertiser. E T g Sae (O American Songs in Japan. One of the pleasantest sights to be seen here and in Yokohama is the group of handsome schoolboys one meets in the street. These little fellows all wear blue caps and carry their books in satchels swung over their shoulders. They are all bright-eyed, chubby faced, merry and sturdy looking. They love school, and yon can plainly see in them the future sover- eigns of Japan. I have yet to see a school- boy who was not both handsome and in- telligent looking. The public school sys- tem in Japan is thorough. There is coedu- cation of sexes, and the system is based al- most entirely upon ours. A few nights ago our hotel in 'Yokohama was serenaded by a band of youths from one of the normal schools. They were neatly uniformed, and they played most excellently “Marchin Through Georgia” and ‘John Brown's Body.” These tunes, by the way, have become almost national in Japan. The bands in all the processions play them; in fact, I have heard little else in the way of outdoor music.—New York Herald. —————— On the Stage at Johannesburg. Two curfous incidents happened during the progress of “The Village Priest,”’ at Standard, Jobannesburg. 1In the third act Marguerite tells her mother that they do not live in a house of cards, and hardly were the words out of Miss Affy Bevan’s mouth when fearful crashes of a minor earthquake kind were heard behind the scenes, the “‘wings” tottered and a cabinet containin, flower-pots and vases was overturned witl a great smash. A few sentences afterward the Comtesse declared ‘‘her idol was shat- tered,” and she gazed pensively upon_the fragments of the broken vases. Upon Miss Affy Bevan's exit a voice from the ‘‘gods’ warned her “not to go out there asshe might be killed,” an apt sally, which, a a contemporary says, produced a general laugh from the audience.—South Africa. is | NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

An Amusing Incident of the Chicago Anarchy Scare Recalled. “Chicago is so thoroughly recovered from the anarchy scare,” said an attorney while waiting for the court to arrive, “that it can afford to laugh at many things that happened about ten years ago. “I remember that about a year before the Haymarket bomb was thrown the town was conslderably worked up over the anarchistic meetings on the lake front, the processions with red banners and all that. There was considerable talk about the so- cial revolution, and the leaders of the movement were becoming very prominent. “One morning when I came down town 1 noticed on the walls and fences big post- ers showing a blood-red flag with the word ‘Bread’ across it in white letters. There was something very significant in the de- sign—the red flag .of anarchy and the threat of blood behind the demand for bread. Every one on the car was talking about the posters and seemed to think it was a pretty serious matter. **Well, sir, those things had been put all over town during that one night. It seemed as if there must have been a thor- ough organization of the revolutionists to gut up 50 many of the posters. I remem- er that one of the prominent anarchists was interviewed as to the meaning of the red flags and the demand for bread. ‘‘He said it meant that the social revolu- tion was at hand; that the workmen were organized and would get bread for them- selves and their families even if they had to destroy the capitalistic class to get it. He said the bread placards were simply put up to give the capitalists warning. ““A few mornings after that more posters bearing red flags appeared in all parts of town, but this time each flag bore the words *Aerated Bread.” “The whole_thing was a scheme to ad- vertise a new kind of bread being baked by H. H. Kohlssat, who was then the big baker of the town, although he had not be- come so well known as ie is at present. It didn’t appear that he intended to irighten any one. He simply chose a novel method of advertising his improved bread, and people were ready about that time to attach & dark significance to any- thing that was red. » “‘But the attempt of the anarchist lead- ers to adopt Mr. Kohlsaat's aerated bread scheme was one of the most amusing inci- degts of the entire scare.”’—Chicago Rec- ord. THE OLD LADY WANTS TO KNOW. Everybody Eise in the Streetcar Found Out Also as She Inquired. I was greatly amused yesterday, in com- pany with a round forty of my fellow-pas- sengers, at the neat dressing-down that was given to a young man in a Cottage Grove avenue car by an elderly lady who I am given to understand was laboring at the time under a not unnatural irritation. it being the first time-that she and the young man had met apparently after some perfidious conduct on his part toward a niece of the old lady’s. At least I should gather all this from the conversation. The old lady got her victim where she was certain he could not get away and then went for him in a voice that rivaled Ta- ma%no’s in power and penetration. “*Got back from your wedding trip, have you? Hope you enjoyed yourselves.” The young man gn‘nnez A man and a woman opposite nudged each other. “When are you going to be at home to youor;riends? i H s *‘Oh, come up and see us an; e.” “Shall I brinl; Mary 2" ¥ A coid dampness began to display itself under the young man’s hat-lining. “Certainly. Bring your niece along. My wife will be delighted to see her.”” 4“3 seefion've ot the hang of it pretty quick. e, he, he! You say ‘my wife’ as if you'd been married three years instead of three weeks. The audience began to get interested. They bent their glances in the direction of the young man and his merciless, persist- | | ent persecutor. She went on at the top of her voice: “You haven’t heard the news, have you?” Everybody strained their ears to listen for it. “Mary’s going to be married.” The young man nerved himself. I'm very glad to Lear it.” You know, just after you found out she didn’t ha any money Bert Drexel came up from Bloomington’— “I'm very glad indeed,’ repeated the young man, rising hastily, while a broad grin spread over the dress circle as it real- 1zed that it was witnessing a first-class do- mestic comedy free of charge, ‘‘but here’s Ty street.” The old lady looked up at the lamppost. ‘‘Gone three blocks further south, haven’t you?”’ But the young man had thrown himself from the car. The fight died out of her honest brown eyes and the red from her indignant face, and the set expression on the wrinklea lips melted into a ripple of mirth-provoking laughter. *‘I guess T ?gge George up in great shape, pa. Didn’t The old gentleman who was with her simply nodded his head. He didn’t seem to see any fun in the situation. I thought to myself that he might have had some such an exqerience himself in the days of youth, and I fell to thinking how seldom the curtain is lifted from some of the dramas of life.—Chicago Dispatch. ———————— Mirrors in Folk-Lore. In the pleasant regions of folk-lore the mirror ho{:‘ls a fairly prominent place. To bretk one is considered an unlucky affair, a notion which is one of the most prevalent and persistent of modern superstition. In many parts of England seven years of trouble is considered the penalty for such an accident; but the still more serious Scottish people regard it as a sign thata member of the family will soon die. In the south of England it is looked upon as a bad omen for a bride on her wedding morning to take a last peep at the glass before starting for church, and the struggle between superstition and vanity is no doubt very keen. The Swedish girls are afraid to look in the glass after dark or by artificial light, lest they should forfeit the good opinion of the other sex. Most people still appear to regard it as a bad omen to see the new moon for the first time through a window pane or reflected in a mirror. In some districts the practice of covering the looking-glass or removing it in the })rcsence of death still exists. The reason or this is not very obvious, though Mr. Baring Gould says there is a popular notion that if a person looks into a mirror in the chamber of death he will see the corpse looking over his shoulder. Such superstition seems to suggest a near ap- proach to the grimitive modes of thought of the men who found mirrors in stones and glasses in the running brook.—Cham- bers’ Journal. —————— The ‘ Wealth of Nations.”” Charles James Fox, it has been asserted, made the fortune of Adam Smith’s ““Wealth of Nations” by quoting it in a speech made in the House of Commons in 1783. In Mr. Rae's life of Adam Smith, recently pub- lished, the faet is established that the book was quoted for the first time then and by Fox, but that some years later Fox told a friend he had never read the book. “There is something in all these subjects,” he ex- plained, “which passes my comprehen- sion; something so wide that could never embrace them myself nor find any one who did.”—New York Sun. ———— M Gladstone’s Advice.

An Expert Formula That Will Help the Home Renovator. The chemistry of cleaning clothes is set forth in a scientific magazine, and while women will care little for the technical part of the operation the story of the actual process suggests a useful modus operandi. Take, for instance, says the American Analyst, a shiny old coat, vest or pair of trousers of black broadcloth, cassimere or diagonal. The scourer makes a.strong, warm soapsuds and plunges the | garment into it, souses it up and down, rubs the dirt{‘ places, and, if necessaryj puts it through a second time, then rinses it through several waters and hangs it up to dry on the line. When nearly dry he takes it in, rolls it up for an hour or two and then presses it. An old cotton clothis laid on the outside of the coat and the iron is pressed over that until the wrinkles are out, but the iron is removed before the steam ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are removed by laying a wet cloth over them and press- ing the iron over that. If any shiny places are seen they are treated as” the wrinkles | are—the iron is lifted while the full cloud | of steam rises up and brings the nap with | it. Cloths should always have a suds | made especially for them, as in that which has been for white cotton or woolen clothes lint will be left in the water and cling to the cloth. In this manner the same coat and trou- sers can be renewed time and time again and have all the look and feel of new garments. Good broadcloth and its fellow cloths will bear many washings and look better every time because of them. HOW OALL ELECTIONEERS. The Senator Has a New Scheme Evolved From Johnsonian Simplicity. The popularity of Senator Call is entirely | with the lower classes—the cracker ele- | ment—who consider him the greatest man on earth, and who will not vote for a legis- lative candidate unless he agrees to sup- port the Senator for re-election whenever his term runs out. When Congress ad- journs, Mr. Call comes home, puts on a gray hickory shirt, a pair of ragged breeches, a coat with large holes at the elbows, an old tan-colored, perspiration- stained slouch hat, and gets into his sulky for an electioneering tour through the State. He travels over the sandhillsand throngh the pine forests, stopping at every cabin ‘“‘to pass the time of day.” He kisses all the children, asks for a “‘snack’ to eat,and when the farmer’s wife offers him butter he always prefers sorghum on his bread. When night overtakes him he “‘puts up” at the nearest farmhouse, no matter how uninviting it may be, and when he goes to bed holds out his ragged trousers to his host and sa{ls: “I snagged my pants in the brush to- day, and I'd be under everlasting obliga- tions if your good wife would mend them for me.” _Of course, the woman would sit up all night to patch the garments of a United States Senator, and she puts in her pret- tiest stitches, but he rips off the patch in a day or two and plays the same game in the next county. The name of the women in Ftlso_rh}a who hnse mended Senator Call’s ants is legion, and it isthe proudest even! Fn their lives.—Chicago l{ec(yrd‘ iees ———— Hard and Bitter Wills. It was remarked by a writer long ago that “there is no reverfge so hard nnfi b§t- ter as that of an old man.” And it isone of the astonishing perversities of many na- tures that the longer they live the harder they hug their posessions. The most dis- interested affection is passed over, the most faithful and the most valuable ser- vices are slightly and grudgingly re- warded. This mental nnfi moral disease notably afflicts the richest. The Marquis d’Aligre was a singuiar example. His will was concocted witi“a special desire to dis- ! relatives who have been so long spelling upon this fortune, upon which ‘I had con- centrated all my affections,”’ you are not going to touch & penny of it; and not one of you will be able to boast that you have squandered the millions which the old I\?arquis d’Aligre had taken so many years to hoard up.”” Sir Robert Bevil, one of James I's offi- cials, did not even spare his wife. I give unto my wife tenne shillings in respect she took her sonnes part against me and did anymate and comfort bhim afterwards. These will not be forgotten.” ; And the Earl of Stafford, who married the daughter of the Duc de Grammont, wrote: “To the worst of women, Claude Charlotte de Grammont, unfortunatelf' my wife, guilty as she is of all crimes, I lcave five and forty brass halipence, which will buy a pullet for her supper. A better gift than her father can make her.”—Westmi n ster Review. .- Victoria’s Oldest Subject. . “‘The oldest living subject of the Queen’’ is the title which may be fairly claimed by Mrs. McLaughlin, who is now in her one hundred and eleventh year. All her long life has been spent at Limavady, the home of Thackeray’s famous ‘Peg.” Mrs. McLaughlin is ‘tall (5 feet 9 inches), well set up and dignified looking. She is able to see and hear well, and her mind is uite clear. She has had eighteen chil- ren, fifteen of whom have died. Mrs. McLaughlin’s husband served in the corps of yeomanry commanded Dr. Ross’ grandfather in the beginning of the century, and her good memory enables her to recali interesting events connected with those stirring times. Apart from the danger and disaffection caused oy the re- bellion of 1798—“The War” as the Irish call it—life and property were frequently threatened. A famous gang of robbers, known as “Acheson’s Gang,” was a terror to the county. It consisted of seven men and two women. They were identified in a lodging- house in Limavady, where the landla Y, & | soldier’s wife, shook the priming out of the pans of their pistols at night. All the members of the gang were captured, and Captain Ross sent them to Derry Jail, with an escort of yeomanry. They managed to break out of jail, and at midnight a mes- senger galloped to Limavady to put Cap- tain Ross on his guard. They were subse- quently captured and executed. Since their execution no one has been hanged in Derry Jail. In such times did Mrs. Mc- Laughlin spend a great deal of her life. Her latter years have been tranquil, and all will join in wishing her “‘peace at the last.”—The Gentlewoman. ————————————— Flyin’ Machines in Kansas. “Talkin’ about tlyin’ machines,” said the man from the prairies, ‘‘they have had ’em out in Kansas fer yea:s.” “Yes, they have,”” sneered the man who was never thirty miles from home. “Well, they jist have. Nateral ones. Not that I would say they have growed wings. Notat all. But they have growed whiskers, and it is the commonest sight you can think of at the right time of year 1o see some feller with a handful of whis- kers up in de air, his feet hangin’ down, soarin’ around on them whiskers in the wind like a bird, it is.”—Chicago Tribune. = A There is an_immigration boom in the State of Washington.
