The subject of his speech has not been given out, but to “Expansion” and “Imperialism” as the permanent pol- icy of the United States more fully than he has done cance, and it is thought in some quarters that it will mark friends to bring him back into public life. Mr. Cleveland has been greatly moved by recent de- velopments of the national policy and, as is well known, he is bitterly opposed to territorial expansion; probable that his opinions upon this point will lead him to that his friends will try to gominate him on the Dem- ocratic ticket for a third term in the Presidency.

And shall any one, who recalls the his- tory of the Aposties, the faith of the nascent church, the trials and deaths of the martyrs, and above all, those olden times, so fruitful in saints, dare to meas- ure our age with these, or affirm that they received less of the divine eutpour- ing from the spirit of holiness? Not to dwell upon this point, there is no one who calls in question the truth that the holy spirit does work by a secret descent into the souls of the just, and that He stirs them alike by warnings and im- pulses, since unless this were the cflsz all outward defense and authority would be unavailing. “For it any persuades himself that he can give assent to saving, that is to gos- el truth when proclaiming, without any llumination of the HO]K Spirit, who gives unto all sweetness both to assent and to United States, would deliver outline his position in regard It ress will be of unusual signifi- on the part of Mr. Cleveland’s so it is thought “Imperialism” inserted in the 1f this succeeds, it is believed 0000000020000 0000000000000000 [ O000C0C00CULOO0O00OO00VO000C000000000 HAWAIIAN JURIST | CALLED T REST | Hermann A.Widemann’s | Death at Honolulu. ‘ Special Correspondence of The Call. [ HONOLULU, Feb. 15.—After a long | and painful {llness Hon. Hermann A. | Widemann, ex-Associate Justice of the Supreme Court of Hawall, died on the 7th inst. Judge Widemann was a man of strong and forceful character, of in- | jlitating the Naval Academy at An- |sanctity, domitable perseverance and untiring energy. Save for his early military education he was, like so many promi- nent men of this age, the architect of his own substantial fortune. Sensitive to a degre ion with his prin- | ciples he was firmly loyal to the mon- anchial institutions and traditions of | Hawaii, and ever remained a firm and true friend of the fative race, and thus became an active and prominent cham- pion of the cause of Queen Liliuokalani, in the darkest hours of her trouble. hisi place in Hawalilan history will not only | be marked by the many important offi- | ces held by him and trusts Inilhtully‘ discharged, but more particularly by | his efforts in connection with coffee and} sugar planting interests, in which he | was one of Hawaii's early pioneers. | His funeral was one of the largest and most notably attended since the | death of the monarchy, although, at| his especial request, it was shorn of all | pageantry, save that of a police escort and the government band playing fuperal marches at the grave. Among | those present were the President and | his Cabinet, the ex-diplomatic and con- | sular corps, the judiciary and bar. and so large a gathering of representative | citizeng of all shades of politics and | notably of Hawaiians, that the large | Catholic cathedral scarcely contained | those desirous of paying their last re- | spects. { Hermann A. Widemann was born at | Hildesheim, Hanover, December 24,| 1822, and had consequently passed his | seventy-sixth year. His father was a veteran of the Napoleonic wars of 1812- | 15 and fought through -campaigns in | France and Russia with considerable distinction, and Hermann was selected to follow his father's profession and therefore received an excellent educa- tion. He left the army, however, im- patient of the delay in obtaining pro- motion, which in those days came more from influence than merit. A brief commercial experience proved uncongenial to his restless and ambi- tious mind and he deserted that life for the sea, shipping as a cabin boy in 1840. After serving for two years in the Bal- tic and Mediterranean he shipped on a whaler for the Pacific and landed at Honolulu in 1843. After a cruise in the Arctic he returned to Honolulu and thence went to Europe to study naviga- tion. In 1846 he decided to make the Hawaiian Islands his home and com- menced his career as private tutor in the Brown family. In 1848 the Call- fornia gold fever seized him and he rushed to the coast, tried and failed at | mining, served for a short time in the Custom House at San Francisco and returned to the islands for good in 184, | He quickly entered into political life | and during this career held numerous | high offices of Importance &and trust. | In 1850 he married Mary Kauai, a& Ha- waiian lady of distinguished family, by whom he had two sons and seven daughters—Carl, manager of the Wai- anae coffee plantation and one of the leaders and fleld fighters of the royalist rebellion of 1895; Hermann, holding a position in the office of John D. Spreck- els Bros. of San Francisco; Miss Anna ‘Widemann, and Mesdames H. R. Mac- farlane, Fred W. Macfarlane, C. O. Berger, William Lanz, John M. Dow- sett and C. Conrad, who have given to him several grandchildren. Among the official positions held by Mr. Widemann were Sheriff of Kauai under King Kamehameha IV; clate Justice -of the Supreme of Finance and acting Attorney Gen- eral under King Kalakaua and Queen Liliuokalani; member of the House of Nobles, both appointed by the mon- archy and again elected by popular vote; a member of the Privy Council of Asate and of the Board of Health. Death of Peter Hinds. SANTA CRUZ, Feb. 23.—Peter Hinds @ied this evening. He was an old resident | of this city, a son of the late David Hinds, who was many yvears Mayor of Santa Cruz. Mr. Hinds was a native of New Jer- sey, 56 years old. For about twenty years he was Treasurer of the city of Santa - “Cruz and prominent in Masonic circles, being past high -priest of Santa Cruz Chapter, R. A.

H Upon both propositions the Naval Committee suffered signal defeats. The | amendment to build a great armor | plant was ruled out upon a point of | order, but after a rancorous debate, in | which the price to be paid for armor | was cut down from $545, the price which the committee insisted was being paid for the new Krupp armor, to $445, and a proviso was also added preclud- ing the Government from paying more than was paid by any other foreign | government for similar armor. When_the bill was reported to the | ouse Boutelle attempted to secure a reversal of the verdicts of the commit- tee of the whole on the naval academy and armor plate amendments, but in both cases he was defeated, a motion to recommit the bill made by him being voted down, 7 to 155. Another victory over the comm was secured by the adoption of a l;}rff vision to the naval bill creating the rank of admiral of the navy. This was accomplished by Moody of Massachu. setts, who offered a copy of the Senate bill creating this rank as an amend- ment to the naval bill. The amend- rrlem. was clearly subject to the point :)‘ order against it raised by Boutelle, but the sentiment of the House was so apparently unanimous in favor of the amendment that he withdrew the point of order and it was adopted without a dissenting vote. The Naval Committee| had amended the Senate biil so as to | also create the rank of vice admiral, but Moody’s amendment was the orig- | inal Senate bill without the provision. The House declined to consider the Brown-Swanson contested election | case in the Fourth Virginia District by | a vote of 132 to 99. This is the second! attempt to call up this case. | GENERAL EAGAN AGAIN E DEFENDS ARMY BEEF | WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The mony of Colonel J.

CANAL AMENDM MAY BE SACRIFICED NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—A Washington special to the Herald says: It is probable that the Nicaragua Canal amendment to the river and harbor bill will be sacrificed to insure the final passage of the pending There is small but determined Seisate, and Senator Caffery and others who are opposed to the canal scheme threaten to enter into a prolonged discus- sion as to the propriety of engraftin, such an important piece of international legislation to an appropriation bill as a er. If a vote could be taken in the Senate without debate the canal amendment would be adopted. It is possibie that even now the Senate may go on record again in favor of the canal, as it has done on previous occasfons. That would leave the Tesponsibility for striking out the canal amendment with the House of Represen- tatives. st New Catholic Bishop. WASHINGTON, Feb. 23.—The papal del- egation has been officlally advised from Rome of the appointment of Bishop Peter Bourgade of Tucson, Ariz., as Archbishop of Santa Fe; also of the appointment of Reyv, John W.

No official advices have been received |is given us in the very first days of the | of our Lord himself and had asked, | are the most liable to stray, and hence | | abundant influx of the Holy Spirit so | greatly extolled by innovators.

This, indeed, belongs to the ordinary law of God’s loving providence that as he has decreed that men for the most part shall be saved by the ministry also of men, so has he wished that those whom he calls to the higher planes of holiness should be led_thereto by men; hence St. Chrysostom declared we are taught of God through the instrumentality of men (Homily 1). Of this a striking example church. For though Saul, intent upon blood and slaughter, had heard the voico “What dost thou want me to do?” Yet was he bidden to enter Damascus and search for Ananias? Acts ix: “Enter the city and it shall be there told to thee what thou must do.” Nor can we leave out of consideration the truth that those who are striving after perfection, since by that fact they walk in no beaten or well-known pa!h‘l have greater need than others of a teach- er and guide. Such guidance has ever obtained in the church, it is the univer- sal teaching of those who throughout the ages have been eminent for wisdom and sanctity, and hence to reject it would be to commit one’s self to a bellef at once rash and dengerous. A thorough consideration of this point, in the supposition that no exterior guide is granted such souls, will make us see the difficulty of locating or determining the direction and application of that most stance of the Holy Spirit, et we find those who are fond of novelty giving an unwarranted importance to the natural | virtues, as they better responded to the | customs and necessities of the times, and | that having these as his outfit man be- | comes both more ready to act and more | strenuous in_action. It is not easy to| understand how persons possessed of | Christian wisdom can either prefer natu-1 ral or supernatural virtues or_attribute | to them a greater efficacy and fruitful- ness. Can it be that nature conjoined With grace is wearier than when ieft to herself? Can it be that those men illustrious for Wwhom the church distinguishes | evangelical councils, s and openly pays homage to, were defl- clent, came short, in the ordér of nature | and its endowments because they excelled in Christian strength? And although it be allowed at times to wonder at acts{ worthy of admiration which are the out- come of natural virtue—is there any one | vith an outfit of | ére any one not tried | at all endowed simply natural virtue? Is th by mental anxiety, and this in no light | degree? Yet ever to master such, as also | to~ preserve in Its entirety the law of | the natural order, requires an assistance | from on high. These single notable acts | to which we have alluded will frequently pon a close investigation be found to | exhibit ‘the appearance rather than the reality of virtue, Grant that it is virtue | unless we would “run in vain” and be | unmindful of that.eternal bliss which a good God in his mercy’ destined for us, B¢ “What avall are natural virtues unless seconded by the gift of divine grace? Hence St. Augustine well says: ‘“Wonder- | ful is the strength and swift the course, | but outside the true path. For as the| Continued from First Page. nature of man, owing to fhe primal fault, is inclined to evil and dishonor, yet by the help of grace is raised up, is borne along with a new greatness and strength, 50, too, virtue, which is not the. product of ‘nature alone, but of grace also, is made fruitful unto eéverlasting life and takes on a more strong and abiding character. This overesteem of natural virtue finds a method of expression in assuming to divide all virtues into active and passive, and it Is alleged that whereas passive virtues found better place in past times, our age is to be characterized by the ac- tive. That such a division and distinction cannot be maintained is patent—for there 18 not nor can there be merely passive virtue. “Virtue,” says St. Thomas Aquinas, ‘“‘designates the rfection of some faculty, but the end of such faculty is an act, and an act of virtue s naught else than the good use of free will,” act- ing, that is to say, under the grace of God 1if the act be one of supernatural virtue. ) He alone could wish that some Chris- tian virtues be adapted to certain times and different ones for other times who Is unmindful of the apostle’s word ‘‘that those whom he foreknew he predestined to be made conformable to the image of his Son” (Romans, vili:29). Christ is the teacher and the exemplar of all sanctity and to his standard must all those con- form who wish for eternal life.. Nor does Christ know any change as the ages pass, for he is yesterday and to-day and the same forever” (Hebrews, xili:8). To the men of all ages was the_ precept given ‘Learn of me, because I am meek an humble of heart”” (Matthew, xi:20). To every age has he been made mani- fest to us as obedient even unto’death; in every age the apostles’ dictum has its force, “Those who are Christ's have crucified their flesh with its vices and concupiscences.” Would to God that more nowadays practiced these virtues in the degreg of the saints of past times, who in humility, obedience and self- restraint were powerful “in word and in deed’—to the great advantage not only of religion but of the state and the pub- lic welfare. From this disregard of the evangelical virtues, erroneously styled “passive,” the step was a short one to a contempt of the religious life which has in some degree taken hold of minds. That such a value 18 generally held by the upholders of new views we infer from certain statements concerning the vows which religious or- ders take. They say vows are alien to the spirit of our times, in that they limit the bounds of human liberty; that they are more suitable to weak that to strong minds; that so far from making for hu- man perfection and the good of human organization they are hurtful to both, but that this is as false as possible from the practice and doctrine of the church is clear, since she has always given the very highest approval to the religious method of life; not without good cause, for those who under the divine call have freely embraced that state of life did not content themselves with the observance of precepts, but, going fgrward to the owed themselves ready and valiant soldiers of Christ. Shall we judge this to be acharacteristic of weak minds or shall we say that it is useless or hurtful to a more perfect state of ilife? Those who so bind themselves b; the vows of religion, far from having suf- fered a loss of liberty, enjoy that fuller and freer kind, that liberty, namely, by which Christ hath made us free. And this further view of theirs, namely, that the religious life is either useles or of lit- tle service to the church, besides being in- jurious to the religious orders, cannot be the opinion of any one who has read the annals of the church. Did not your coun- try, the United States, derive the begin- nings both of faith and of culture from the children of those religlous families? To one of whom but very lately, a thin greatly to our praise, you have decree that a statue be publicly erected. And even at the present time, Wherever the re- liglous famililes are found, how speedy and_yet how fruitful a harvest of good works do they not bring forth. How very many leave home and seek strange lands to fmpart the truth of the gospel and to widensthe bounds of civili- zation, and this they do with the greatest cheerfulness amid manifold dangers. Out of their number not less, indeed, than from the rest of the clergy, the Christian world finds the preaches of God's word, the directors of consclences, the teachers of youth and the church itself, the exam- ples of all sanctity. Nor should any difference of praise be made between those who follow the act- ive state of life from those others who, charmed with solitude, gave themselves to prayer and bodily mortification. And how much, indeed, of good report these have merited and do merit, is known | dressed to Pope Damasus: surely to all who do not forget that the *‘continual dprayer of the just” avalls to placate and to bring down the blessin of heaven when to such prayers bodily mortification is added. But if there be those who prefer to form one body without the obligation of the vows, let them pursue such a course. It is not new in the church nor in any wise censurable. Let them be careful, how- ever, not to set forth such a state above that of religious orders. But rather, since mankind is more- disposed at the present time to indulge itself in pleasures, let those be held in g:eater esteem, ‘‘who S;;'}ntg" left all things, have followed s Finally, not to delay too long, it is stated that the way and method hitherto in use among Catholics for bringing back those who have fallen away from the church, should be left aside and another one chosen, in which matter it will suffice to note that it i{s not the part of pru- dence to neglect that which antiquity in its long experience has approved and ‘which s also taught by Apostolic author- ity. The Scriptures teach us that it is the duty of all to be solicitous for the salvation of one’s neighbor, according to the power and position of each. The faithful do this by religiously dis- charging the duties of their state of life, by the uprightness of their conduct, by their works of Christian charity and b earnest and continuous prayer to God. On the other hand, those who belong to the clerf)’ shotuld do this by an enlight- ened fulfillment of their preaching min- istry, by the pomp and splendor of cere- monies and especlally by setting forth that sound form of doctrines which St. Paul inculcated apen Titus and Timothy. But if, amo the different ways of preaching the'word of God that one some- times seems to be preferable which is di- rected to non-Catholles, not in churches, but in some sultable place, in such wise that controversy is not sought, but friend- ly conference, such a method is certalnly without fault. But let those who under- take such ministry be set apart by the authority of the Bishops and let them be men whose science and virtue have been previously ascertained. For we think that there are many in your country who are separated from Catholic truth by igno- rance rather than by ill will, who might perchance more easily be drawn to the one fold of Christ if this truth be set forth to_them in a friendly and familiar way. From the foregoing it is manifest, be- loved son, that we are not able to give ap- proval to those views which, in their collective sense, are called by some “‘Americanism.” But if by this name are to be understood certain endowments of mind which belong to the American peo- ple, just as other characteristics belong to various other nations, and if, more- over, by it is designated your political condition and the laws and customs by ‘which you are governed, there is no reason to take exception to the pame. But if this is to be understood that the doc- trines which have been adverted to above are not only indicated, buf exalted, there can be no manner of doubt that our ven- erable brethren, the Bishops of America, would be the first to repudiate and con- demn it as being most injurious to them- selves and to their country. For it would glve «rise to the suspicion that there are among_us some who conceive and would have the church in America to be differ- ent than what it is in the rest of the world. But the true church is one as by unity of doctrine, so by unity of gov= ernment, and she is Catholic also. Since God has placed the center and foundation of unity in the chair of blessed Peter, she is rightly called the Roman church, for “where Peter is there is the church.” Wherefore, if anybody wishes to be considered a real Catholic he ought to be able to say from his heart the self-same words which Jerome ad- 1, acknowl- edging no other leader than Christ, am bouhd in fellowship with your holiness; that is, with the chair of Peter. I know that the church was built upon him as its rock, and that whosoever gathereth not with you scattereth.” We have thought it befitting, beloved son, in view otd)-our office, that this let- ter should be addressed speclally to you. It will also be our care to see that copies are sent to the bishops of the United States, testifying again that love by which we embrace your whole country, a country which in past times has done %o much for the cause of relizion and which will by the divine assistance con- tinue to do still greater things. To you, and to all the faithful of America, we ledge of divine grant most lovingly, as a assistance, our apostolic benediciion.

NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—The ‘Washing- ton correspondent of the Herald tele- United States her disapproval of the course pursued by Chief Justice Cham- bers and her wish that he should be removed. Beyond this she has not gone, despite the report published this morning un- der a Berlin date that she had de- manded his recall. The State Depart- ment is considering these intimations. and should Germany recall Consul Rose, as she has done Herr Raffel. and make disavowal for the conduct of her agents, there is no doubt that the ishes of the Berlin Government would be consplted with respect to Chief Jus- tice Chambers. But so far as that offi- cial's decision is concerned it will be upheld unless the department should those in its possession. There has been no important new de- velopment in the Samoan situation for some days, nor do the authorities ex- pect any ufitil the arrival of the next mail from Apla. It is then expected that they will learn that the Philadel- ‘Admiral Kautz is co-operating with the Consuls in preserving peace, and mak- ing an investigation of the conduct of several officers in Apla. Germany and TEngland, like the United States, are not at all excited over the situation. and the officials assert their confidence that the affair will be terminated peacefully and satisfactorily. VANCOUVER, B. C., Feb. 23.—Aus- tralian papers which arrived here to- day on the stéamer Miowera print the following letter from Chief Justice Chambers of Samoa to Captain Sturdy of H. M. S, Porpoise, who took a prom- inent part in the recent trouble in Samoa: Nothing that you have done since the events in Samoa brought us so close to- gether has been a surprise to us. They were simply acts of a noble-minded man and an English gentleman. To me, with my efes open to it all, it has been a mar- vel that in the midst of the whirlwind of events rc%\‘xmn patience, skill and courage you have been able to command the situation in all its bearings so_ per- fectly. If the officers and men of the Porpoise are a sample of the English navy, then I want to be a convert to the principles of Anglo-Saxon -alllance, not that behind the power of your ships there is a stronger moral power for the uplift- ing of the human race.

It is said that General Shafter’s dislike of the Speaker dates from the opening days of the session, when Shafter visited the House of Representatives under escort of General Joe Wheeler of Alabama. The latter requested of Speaker Reed the priv- ilege of the floor for General Shafter, but Reed refused to grant it and offered him a seat in his private ga!lerg’. Mr. Reed sald torday that General Shafter must have been mist}ueted. The outlook for an additon to the Los Angeles ublic building is favorable. Senator White and Representative Barlow have both seen Chairman Mercer of the Public_Buildings Committee, and he as- sures them of his hearty sué)port and says he thinks, according to the receipts, it should be one of the first bills consldered. There { sno doubt but that the committes will report it as soon as a day is given for consideration of public bull ln?! ills, 1f it fails Senator White will offer it as an amendment to the sundry civil appropria- tion bill.

It is thought by .er friends that she will be compefied to leave the Islands for the south of France to effect a radical cure. The pains were so excruciating that it was found necessary to move the Princess in hand litters in- stead of by the customary conveyance. Prince Cupid Kalanianaole met with a very serious accident at Huehue, Hawalii, on the 8th inst. His horse stumbled, threw and fell upon him and kicked him on the arm and near the abdomen.

Sev- eral shots were fired. All went very near the Indians, most of whom then heard bullets whizzing by their ears for the first time in their Jives. One of the last shots hit old Charley squarely in the neck as he turned his head to see where the previous bullets were striking. The boys fired at a distance of 400 yards.

That President McKinley must wash his hands of Al- gerism before entering the next Presi- dential campaign has been 'generally conceded for some time by his intimate political advisers, but Jjust how and when the change in the head of the War Department will be effected have been problems. There Is still some uncertainty as to the exact date when the change will come. That Secretary Alger must re- tire, elther voluntarily or by request, as stated in the Herald this morning, is certain. The President would prefer to allow Mr. Alger to retire voluntarily and as gracefully as possible. Any ex- cuse that he might offer as to his rea- | sons for resigning will be entirely ac- ceptable. Rather than have an open rupture the President would be inclined to encourage rather than discourage Mr. Alger's contemplated inspection tour, if it could be understood before- hand that when completed the Secres tary would find it convenient to returg permanently to Michigan. One of the reasons Mr. Alger has of. fered for his probable inability to maky the contemplated junket is that he wil be too busy carrying out the provisions of the new army bill to leave Washing. ton at the time he had planned. At far as the President is concerned hi gervices will not be needed for this pur, pose, and he would rather have him keep his engagement with a few mem bers of the military committees whe have accepted invitations to go with him than to have him at the head o) the War Department. In addition to the President there ary at least two members of the Cabine| whose relations with the Secretary ol War have not been cordial for somg¢ time. But for the fact that Secretary Alger has said that he did not wish t¢ retire under charges the conditions in. side the Cabinet would have been such as to have forced him out before now, The name of former Governor Mer: riam is most prominently mentioned iy connection with a successogto Secre. tary Alger. All I can learn Tn Cabinef circles is that the man the Presiden{ hds in view for this place comes fron west of the Mississippi. ——— ] SAYS MOLINEUX SENT THE POISON Harry Cornish Makes the Charge. Bpectal Dispatch to The Call. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—Harry Corn- ish, on the witness stand at the Adams inquest to-day, accused Roland B. | Molineux of having sent him the poisoned bromo-seltzer. His story was that he thought Molineux had sent him the poison because he was the only man who had shown great enmity toward him; that he had lied about him and persecuted him; that he had lied about others in the club; that there was enmity between Barnet and Molineux, and that Molineux had started stories | about members of the Knickerbocker Athletic Club. The witness stated that Molineux, being in a rival club, was jealous of him. He declared that the Coroner must search the athletic clubs of New York City for the murderer of Mrs. Adams. He suspected Molineux of having sent Kutnow powders to Bar- net. He testifled that Mrs. Molineux's statement that she had never been in Barnet’s room alone was false. He knew of a person who had seen Mrs. Molineux and Barnet drinking wine in the latter’s room when no other person was present. Witness stated that Molineux was his bitter enemy and the only man who could have a motive for wishing to take his life. Cornish was very earnest ih testifying and contradicted much he said when he was first examined by the Coroner. Cornish was asked several times to give the names of the men who had told the stories that he repeated about Molineux. He said that he could not remember them all, but had no doubt these men would come forward and substantiate his story as soon as they heard he had told it. 2 RUDYARD KIPLING IS IN GRAVE DANGER Physician Admits That His Trouble Is Likely to Turn Into Pneumonia. NEW YORK, Feb. 23.—The following bulletin was issued at 10:30 o’clock to- night by the physicians attending Rud- yard Kipling: Mr. Klplin%} has had a fairly comfort- able day, although,in the late afternoon and early evening’ as usually happens, the symptoms have become about as they ‘were last evening, but not worse. Soon after the bulletin was posted Dr. Janeway was asked if Mr. Kipling's malady -was not likely to turn into pneumonia; and he replied: “Prob- ably.” When further questioned as to whether both lungs are now affected, Dr. Janeway said the disease was only in its fourth day, and intimated that any positive diagnosis at the time was impossible. “Keith's.

SAN JOSE, Feb. 23.—Mrs. Hattie Crabb resumed the story of her marital troubles in Judge Kittredge’s court this morning before an increased audience. The fair sex were in the majority, and they occupied all the front seats. Never did a divorce suit attract such atten- tion in this city. Dr. Crabb seems to like the presence of so many ladies, and frequently turns and smiles on them. . Mrs. Crabb’s testimony showed she had been hustled off to Dr. Robinson’s private asylum at Livermore with the understanding that she was going ta a sanitarium. She remained thera about three months. From there she went to San Francisco. On April 27 last, Dr. Crabb and Deputy Sherift Gardner called and brought her to San Jose. Here she ‘was examined by Drs. Caldwell and Curnow and committed to the Agnews Asylum. Mrs. Crabb’s story of the examina- tion shows it was a one-sided affair, and she was given no chance to dis- prove the charge. As to the ridiculous- ness of some of the’ testimony against her, Mrs. Garrett had testified that the witness had claimed she saw two snakes in the woodshed and also a mouse. Mrs. Crabb said this was true. She had been refused a jury to decide on her insanity. Once or twice the attorneys drifted off and discussed Crabb’s poetry. Has- sett asked if Dr. Crabb had ever told witness that Esther, to whom he dedi- cated the opening poem in his book. referred in any way to Miss Perry, the choir girl. She answered he did. and had told her Miss Perry’'s neck and ears were like those of Esther. The court interrupted this side play. ‘Witness underwent a rigid cross-ex- amination at the hands of Attorney Burchard. Mrs. €rabb said she never believed her husband guilty of adul- tery and did not wish to be understood as making such a charge. She denied ever having assaulted him with a razor, and the only time she ever used a razor at the University of the Pa- cific was to pare her corns. Mrs. Crabb told of .her husband's fondness for Mrs. Osborne,-Miss Perry and Miss Mayne. The doctor had de- clared “they all loved with all the power of being.” At the same time he declared all their words and acts were chaste and pure. A portion of the written confession of .Dr. Crabb's love for Miss Perry was introduced, and the court took ad- mission under consideration. Dr. Crabb then identifled a number of letters his wife had written him. Located in Oklahoma. WOODLAND, Feb. 28.—Willlam Lehr mann, who some months ago obtained $100 from the Bank of Yolo on account of an error in a certificate of deposit issued to him, has been located in Oklahoma, but it is doubtful if any further efforts will be made to bring him back to this city.
