Late last night four men disguised and masked entered Campbell's house and dragged him to the street Camp bell's night shirt was torn off and in a rude condition he was lashed to a tele graph pole. The four men then whipped him with rawhides until he became un conscious. The man's back and limbs were covered with welts. He was car ried back to the house and placed in bed. His cries aroused the neighbors and brought a crowd to the scene, but when they found Campbell was being whipped no resistance was offered. An esplmion. PrrosBt'BO, Feb. 19.

Lot in Feb. la Detective Thomas of Chicago, accompanied by two local detectives, made an important arrest last night, which was kei.t very quiet until today. The prisoner is believed to be one of the rata baJiy wanted in connec tion with the Cronin case, and Thomas had been advised that parti would ar rive tonight from Chit-ago to fully iden tify him. The prisoner BaTe tt e Dame of J. B. Kelly, and admitted that he was the man for whom the Chicago authori ties had been lookipg, but denied that he was Smith, Dan Coughliu's friend, who was believed to have driven the hninrv in a-hich Cronin was conveyed r- . - from hie bnmft. He further d-nied complicity in the murder. iMeutive Thomas says Lis prisoner is known in Chicago as J. 13- Klly, but is supposed to be the man knon as Smith. If he proves to be so the arrest is one of the most important made in the celebrated case. Smith was the last person in whose company the murderrd physician was seen alive by Croniu's friends. When questioned by a reporter this afternoon the prisoner was very uly He said he was J. B. Kelly of Chic igo. but that he knew nothing of the Cronin case or the parties interested in it, ex cept Tom Desmond of San Francisco. He never belonged to any C!au-na-Gael camp and was an active Irish s; mpaUii zer. He wouli not talk further except to say that he had been in St Louis about two weeks. This statemf nt, how ever, is disproved by the fact that the detectives located him at the People's hotel, where he registered the first time onAugust20 last and has been there almost continuously since. He was shabbily dressed, and to the hotel peo ple pretended to be a peddler ot books. He paid for his lodging regularly, but never seemed to have much money. Detectives Collins and Clark of Chi cago arrived tonight and have identified the Cronin suspect arrested in thia city last night as the man suppose to be Smith, who took Dr. Cronin o the Carl son cottage.

A curious story comes from St. Petersburg. A well-known Polish princess recently took a house in the capital. To her disgust she found it haunted. A religious service was held and the demons exorcised. But after a few days thev returned with re-cn-forcemeuls. The result is that in or der to live in the bouse at all the princess has to hold an exorcist reli fious service every three days. Making Pearl to Order, Whether the pearl ha gone out of fashion because of the facility with which artificial ones have been made is a matter that may be accepted as in a great measure true, for tlio pearl is one of the most beautiful of gems. In addition to the efforts, successful, too, towards making artificial pearls, efforts have also been made from time to time to force the ojster itself to produce the pearls by introducing foreign sub stances within the hells, which have not been altogether successful. In the South Kensington Museum in London the writer has teen several evidences of Ibese attempts, as well as shells which came from Chin containing mall images of Buddha. It is said that these were originally moulded in tin foil snd then placed between the bell and the mantle of the oyster. Tha shells were then returned to their natu ral bods, and after a time a layer of mother-of-pearl coated these Igures and attached them to the shell. In some instaaeet tbey are cat oat and old, and It k said tbe Chinese prteeU ci aimed them to be evidences of their mlraele-worklng uoweTS.--lrVNMr Jftava. STATE NEWS.

AN ARTISTIC MASSIOM- Which May at l-at 11 of home ra ta tha Public. The following editorial from the S:in Francisco Itrxnl it not w ithout intere-t to those who are f:imili:r with the city at the Gulden Gate: The Flood man sion stands on the summit of Nob Hill, virtually decried. The Flood family does not intend to inhabit it ajrain, anil it h very unlikely that any other family will ever desir it. It is a very tine mansion. But it is not the kind of house that our millionaires like, to live in nowaday. It occtipit a a com manding ixjsilion, but the frlory of Nob Hill has dVMirted. No one will ever build or buy another "palatial resi dence" on Nob Hill. The summit of Nob Hill is not the aristocratic quarter par excellence now, and will Ktcadily be less aristocratic. The drift is west ward. But the Flood mansion is for sale, aud it will be sold linallv for some purpose or other. What will it ulti mate fate be, with iu massive walls, its $20,000 bronze fence, its spacious and gorgeously decorated apartments? Qukn tabet What wo would like to see it bought for and transformed into is an art gallery and museum. It is already well fitted for the latter, for the rooms are large aud high and well arranged, and the alterations to lit it for proper display of pictures would not bo very extensive or cosily. Of course we would rather have tho city's museum and gallery out in tho park. But Nob Hill is our second choice. It is very accessible by cable car now from all parts of the city, and the beautiful view the building commands would be an additional attraction. Now, which of our rich men will como In and contribute the money necessary to buy and tit up this man sion and thus establish an institution such as all great cities have and San Francisco must have, not only as a standing attraction, but as a means of educating and refining it people. No few, but plenty of contributions would soon come in, once a handsome and safe place for their display had been provided. Toys of the Oldrn Time. A thoughtful-looking little gentle man sat iu the Gir.ml House, of Phila delphia, one evening watching tho people pass In and out and listening to snatches of conversation which were wafted to his cars. H sat alone in a corner, smoking a pipe with a long slender stem. His black coat was ornamented with braid, and his grey hair was topped by a black skull cap. The gentleman U Auguste Blare, of Paris, an inventor of mechanical toys. He has spent his life in this work, and each year brings him additional in terest in it. Mr.'Elare has a marvel ous fund of anecdote, especially about the wonders of automata, and takes great pleasure in talking about the Latter. " "Puppets and marionctts were pat ronized," he said, "both by the Greeks and the Romans, and automata, which are the inventions now principally dealt in, also go back to a remote period. Vulcan's tripod on wheels has the authority of Homer; Daedalus made moving statues; Arclivtas of Threntum, in 400 B. C. invented a wooden pigeon that could fly in the air. la tho six teenth century Rcgiomantamons made an iron fly which moved through tho atmosphere, and afterward an auto matic eagle, which on the arrival of the Emperor Maximilian nt Nurcm bury, flew forth to meet him. "But one of tbe most wonderful of such inventions of which wo have record was a group of automata con structed b Philip Camnz for Louis XIV. Tins consisted of a coach and four horses that started off at the crack of a whip, tlio horses prancing, trotting and galloping in turu. It ran along until it got in front ot the King, vhen it stopped. Then a toy footman descended, "and opening the carriage door, handed out a lady 'with born grace,' as the records tell us. The lady made a courtesy, presented a petition to the Emperor, re-entered her carriage and was driven rapidly away. Such is the description of the most wonderful automaton," concluded Mr. Blare. "I never saw the toy itself, of course, but the description just given to you tallies almost word for word with an authentic record. I memorized the latter at one time, so marvelous did it seem to me." Made to Look New. Old clothinz may bo made to look nearly as good as new by pursuing the following plan, says the Philadelphia liccord: Take for instance a shiny old coat, vest, or pair of trousers of broadcloth, cajwimere, or diagonal. The scourer makes a strong, warm soapsud and plunges the garment into it, rubs the dirty places; if necessary puts it through a second suds, then rinses it through several waters aud hangs it to dry on the line. When nearly dry be takes it in, roils It up for an hour or two, and then presses it An old cotton cloth is laid on tbe outside of the coat and the iron passed over that until tbe wrinkles are out; but tbe Iron is removed before tha team ceases to rise from the goods, else they would be shiny. Wrinkles that are obstinate are removed by lay ing a wet cloth over them and passing the iron over that If any ibiny places are seen they are treated as fas wrinkles are; the iron is lifted, whtti tha foil cloud of steam rises and brings tha nap up with it. Good cloth will bear many washings and look better every time because of them. . Ingrraoll On tXnra. Before the ninth anuutd contention of the State Bar association Cul. Kob ert G. Ingi-rxill delivered an address upon the subject of "Crimes Against Criminals." iu which at the oul--t be demonstrated that punishment by tor ture aud death had f.ti e.l to abate crime. The following were among Mr, liigtTSolI'd utterances: Degradation has been thoroughly tried, with its maiming and l.raud itirs. and the result was that those who inFlieted the punishment lecane as de graded as their victims. It U safe to s.iy that governments have committed f.,r more crimes than they hare pre-wtiU-d. 1 am perfectly salUlied that there are millioiis.of others incapable of practicing certain virtues. There is no reformation in degradation. Who ever is degraded by society Itccomes its enemy. A punishment that de grades the punished w ill degrado the government that procures Urn inflic tion. Is there any remedy? Can any thing lie done for thn reformation of the criminal? He. should be treated with kindness. Every right should bo given ti i in coii-isteut with the safety of MN-iely. He should neither lie degrad ed nor robbed. Why should these men after having been imprisoned for years le turned out without the means of support? Would it not lie far better to lay aside his earning so that when the convict is released after live year of imprisonment he will have poveral hundred dollars of his own, enough to keep the wolf of crime from the door of his heart? If we are to change the conduct of men we must change their conditions. Eurcmu poverty and crime go hand in hand. Iuorancc, tilth, and poverty arc tho missionaries of crime. As long as dishonorable success outranks honest effort as long as society Ikiws and cringes liefore the great thieves there will bu litllu ones euougll to till tlio jails." Anecdotes Of the Great- Shortly after the death of Osar's daughter Julia, who had married Pom pey.'thcy latter grew very distant to ward Osar and licforo much time elapsed the two had become thorough ly estranged. Brutus having remark ed in Osar's hearing that Pompey made a great mistake in treating him in the way he did, Cicsar observed: "Yes. A very foolish mistake. Ho treats mo as though I were his mother-in-law." It was that evening that Bnitus joined the opposition. Oliver Goldsmith's modesty has be come proverbial, but he was by no means tho dullard in conversation that he is sometimes represented. David Garrick, w ho was fond of his little joke, once asked Goldsmith be fore a largo party of gay young Ixn dotiers: " hy iloes an as bray when ho can argue "no xdoqiicntly with his hind hoof?" "Why do yon ask mo?" asked Goldsmith. "Because ou are an ass," replied Garrick with a smile. Quick as a wink came the reply: "Tou're another." It is not likely that Garrick after this .trilled much with dear old Noll. On another occasion, Bosworth haw ing said in Goldsmith's hearing that tho "Vicar of Wakclield" should have been called tho "Vicar of Slcepticld," modest Noll turned toward him and without a moment's hesitation cried: "Shut tip jour mouth!" Dr. Johnson nearly laughed himself into an apo plectic fit over this when Sir Joshua Reynolds told him about it next daj'. "Will," said Bacon one clay to Shakspeare, "they say I wrote your plays.'' Shakspeare laughed. "Why do you laugh, my William?" "Be cause, my lord, tlioy think you are swan of Avon. You're a devil of a swan, you are." Ben Johnson says it took one of Ba con's strongest essays to keep him from sinking tho wcL" A1 . Evening Sun. For Perturbed Literary Hplrlta. Tim fact is, whether authors be lieve it or not, the editor is more anx ious to discover merit in a manuscript than is tho author to have him. Novel ty and freshness nrc to-day tho ruling elements In literature, and the editor is watchful for either in all the manu scripts which come under his eyes. If authors would devote more time and care to the composition of tho manu scripts, and less to worrying what be came of them after they reached the editorial desk, literature and the read ing public would lie the gainers. No author need ever invest her soul in anxiety that her manuscript is not read. In these days of sharp literary competition, the keenest outlook is re quired of the editorial room, and good manuscript or a bright idea need not search long for a market. Well-told stories are not so plentiful that even the unpromising looking manuscript ean afford to Ijc overlooked. An author can always feel euro of ono point that, if her manuscript is returned, thcro is some reason for it, and tbe cause is generally not very far off or obscure, if search is only made for it. Either the production lacks merit, or the wrong channel has been selected for the material. These are generally the two principal reasons. There is a world of common sense in the remark niado by a famous author to a young w rilcr who was loudly complaining of editorial inappreciation: "Don't waste so much time blaming the editors; de vote to seeing if any rests upon you."
