The dispatches say that King Menelek
is an admirer of newspapers and friendly to correspondents. Wait until the King
has a taste of the San Francisco variety of newspapers, and he may change his
mind.
The New York papers print portraits of handsome Dell DeForest, whose brain went wrong and landed her in an
insane asylum because of the use of “hair bleach.” That is strange, very
strange. The idea had obtained pretty generally that those using hair bleach
are perfectly secure against brain disorders - for an obvious reason.
Gilbert and Sullivan’s odd conceit worked out in
“Pinafore” has just been realized in a strange case at Shamokin, Pa., where
babies have been so mixed up that no one can tell which is which, and the local
Buttercup is unable to straighten out the tangle. It appears that at the same
hour, in the same house, two babies were born, one to Mrs. Jane NORTON and one
to Mrs. Hannah FOSTER. Mrs Foster is the daughter of
Mrs. Norton, and was visiting with her at the time. The attending physician
stupidly placed the two new arrivals in life in a common berth, not
particularly noticing any bodily peculiarities and without tagging them, to
indicate to whom they respectfully belonged. He is now unable to right the
mix-up, and the two women are in trouble plenty. Mrs. Foster is unable to say
whether she is bringing up her son or her brother, and
Mrs. Norton does not know whether she is attending with maternal solicitude
upon her child or her grandchild. So it is that sometimes the rawest fiction
finds its parallel in fact.
They Will at Once Raise Money for the Bicycle Paths
At last night’s meeting of the Capital City Wheelmen
the assurance was given on behalf of certain merchants that they would
contribute $300 toward building the proposed bicycle paths to Folsom and Galt,
provided the club would raise a like sum.
The proposition was received with enthusiasm, and a
committee of twelve was selected to district the city and solicit funds. The
committee consists of C.M. GOETHE, M. LAVENSON, W.W. WRIGHT, C.J. ATWATER, L.T.
ANDREWS, F.M. JONES, L.S. UPSON, S. HOPKINS, L.C. BILLUPS, George C. ALLEN,
James BANTA and J.L. GILLIS.
This committee is empowered to receive subscriptions
from wheelmen and others who may feel an interest in the proposed improvement.
Nothing will be done in the matter until enough money shall be raised to build
both the Folsom and Stockton paths.
The Executive Committee and Messrs. Frank MILLER, H.
BENNETT, W.E. HALE and H. WEINSTOCK are to have full power to manage the
building of these proposed bicycle roads. A circular letter will be addressed
to all wheelmen on the subject.
Work on the experimental path, two miles eastward from
Thirty-first and J streets - referred to yesterday in the “Record-Union” - will
be commenced to-day. This is independent of the paths in regard to which the
club took action last night, the expense having been guaranteed by a few club
members.
James O’BRIEN, recently arrested for beating and
kicking a waiter in a downtown restaurant, was yesterday sentenced by Justice
DAVIS to serve thirty days in the County Jail.
Piano-tuning - Paul SCHOEN of Oakland is in the city,
at either Hammer’s or Pommer’s.
Dr. C.H. STEPHENSON has removed
his office from Seventh and J streets to 806 ½ K street, having associated with
him his son, Dr. H.H. STEPHENSON. Will be pleased to meet all his old patients and
friends.
The funeral of John M. MORELLI took place yesterday
from the undertaking parlors of W.J. KAVANAUGH under the auspices of the
Sacramento Musicians’ Protective Union, of which deceased was a member.
The procession, headed by a brass band of forty
pieces, J.J. BAUER leader, proceeded to the Cathedral, where services were
held, Rev. Father WALSH officiating, assisted by the Cathedral choir. The
interment took place in the Catholic Cemetery.
The pall-bearers were George FRANZ, Ray HOPKINS, J.S.
BAKER, Fred WELL, Charles F. LEWIS, and C.A. NEALE, members of the Clunie Opera-house Orchestra, of which deceased was a
member.
The floral pieces were many and beautiful. One was a
representation of a lyre, four feet in hight, and was
presented by the union. H.W. HAND, President of the union, acted as
Marshal.
The funeral of Charles MILLER, the Mexican veteran who
died on Saturday ,will take place this forenoon from
his late home at 3008 F street. The body will be taken to the Cathedral, where
requiem services will be held at 10 o’clock.
Mr. Miller was a member of Bragg’s famous artillery
during the Mexican War and was wounded at Cherabusco.
He leaves a wife and child.
Paul SCHOEN of Oakland came to the city last night.
Miss Esther BENNETT of San Francisco is visiting her
sister Mrs. Hubert BUCK.
Rev. E. GRAHAM, pastor of the Presbyterian Church at
Chico, is paying a visit to Sacramento.
Miss Lida McMULLEN left last Saturday for a two-months’
visit at San Francisco and Santa Rosa.
Constable Frank L. WARREN of Brighton Township
yesterday brought to the County Jail an elderly Spanish or Mexican woman who
was thought to be insane. She was found poorly clad and wandering about the
farms, unable to give any account of herself.
It was subsequently learned that the woman’s name is
SOTO, and that she is the mother of Joe SOTO, a desperate character of some
years ago. She seems to be simple-minded only - the result of extreme old
age.
With this remedy persons can cure themselves without

AMUSEMENTS
The second entertainment
of the Capitol Concert Series will be given at the Congregational Church this
evening, under the management of R.T. COHN and H.A. KIDDER. They say that in
addition to the season tickets already out they will have two hundred single
admission tickets on sale at the door. The program is an extended one, and one
which will no doubt afford a rare entertainment. Mendelssohn’s “Ride of the
Elves” will be given by the Treble Clef Quartet of San Francisco. It will also
sing the “Slumber Song” and the “Lost Chord”. Among the others to appear are
Homer HENLEY of San Francisco, baritone; Bernard MOLLENHAUER, violinist; Mrs.
FINE, soprano; Frank COFFIN, tenor, and Mr. KING will give a grand organ solo.
Those who
intend to go to the entertainment are requested by the management to be seated
at 8 o’clock.
Eddie SMITH,
the new comedian engaged by Manager TODD, made his first appearance with the
stock company at the Clunie Opera House last night
and made a very favorable impression.
A lively
comedy, called “Breach of Promise,” was presented. At the conclusion of the
comedy a troupe of Japanese acrobats and jugglers appeared in a series of
wonderful acts. The same bill will be given to-night.
The Jennie
CALEF Dramatic Company stranded in Reading, Pennsylvania, December 12th, and a
benefit was given to relieve the members of the company. San
Francisco Music and Drama remarks that Andy WALDRON’s luck still sticks to him.
Gilman-Bee
Case.
In the
Superior Court to-day the case of C.H. GILMAN vs. The
Bee was set for February 8th, and both sides agreed upon Judge HUNT, of San
Francisco, to preside in the matter.
A VETERAN
REPUBLICAN
Endorsement
of S.K. Thornton for Appraiser at San Francisco’s Port.
S.K.
THORNTON, of San Francisco, one of the best known Republicans in California, is
in the city looking upon the process of law making at the Capitol. Mr. THORNTON
has also been interviewing the statesmen of his political faith in order to get
their endorsement to his petition to President McKINLEY
to be appointed Appraiser of the Port of San Francisco. Owing to the popularity
of Mr. Thornton, and to the fact that he has been a hard worker in the party,
all of the Republican members of both Houses of the Legislature have signed his
petition.
Cutting Down Help
Yesterday afternoon,
about 3 o’clock, the Republicans of the Assembly met in caucus and adopted the
report made by the Committee on attaches appointed by the last Legislature.
This report cuts down the number of employees in the lower house fully
one-third, at a saving of $197 a day. The committee which formulated the report
consisted of NORTH, of Alameda, CUTTER, of Yuba, and VALENTINE.
THE NEW
STENOGRAPHERS
Warren DOAN
and E.F. DUDEN Officially Installed.
The Judges of
the Superior Court yesterday afternoon appointed a committee, consisting of
C.H. OATMAN, W.A. GETT, Jr., and Albert M. JOHNSON, to examine Warren E. DOAN
and E.F. DUDEN, as to their qualifications to act as official shorthand
reporters. The committee having examined them and made a favorable report, the
Judges sitting in the bank this morning made an order appointing these two the
official reporters of the Superior Court of Sacramento County.
Warren E.
DOAN in the examination wrote at the rate of 225 words per minute and was still
keeping it up when the time was called.
Mr. DUDEN
wrote at the rate of 190 words per minute, which is a very good test,
considering the fact that he has been in very poor health for several weeks.
There is no doubt but that he could have written very much faster had it not
been for his physical condition.
Doan is one
of the best stenographers in the State of California. His work is always quick,
clear and neat, and the transcripts that he turns over for Courts and lawyers
have been the subject of great praise.
Duden is also a very painstaking stenographer,
and he will undoubtedly make a most creditable record for himself.
PERSONAL
NOTES
Dr. M.
GARDNER, of San Francisco, was in the city to-day.
The friends

insane and locked him up in the cell usually reserved for women.
The young
man was well dressed and talked like a person of good education. He gave his
name as Frank NEWMAN and said that he was a druggist by profession. He said
that he came from San Francisco. He is crazy upon the subject of electricity,

This
forenoon P.J. HUELSMAN appeared in the Police court, with his attorney, Frank
S. SPRAGUE, to undergo examination for having made threats against life.
One day last week HUELSMAN met his sister, Mrs. W.T.
KRIGBAUM, in the Post Office, and drew a revolver, threatening to kill her. Huelsman was disarmed by Hon. P. REDDY and other
spectators.
It appears that Huelsman was
incensed because his sister had married Krigbaum
without taking the trouble to ask the consent of any member of her family.
There are two complaints on file now against Huelsman, both sworn to by his sister. One charges him with
having threatened her life, the other with having disturbed the peace.

of 5. His wife died some months ago. The man seemed to be mentally unbalanced.
The children were ragged and filthy, and were not supplied with proper food,
and to all appearances the father was not able to do any better for them.
After some persuation DEAN
consented to allow the humane officer to take the children and supply them with
comfortable homes.
The little girl was turned over to Mrs. KENNEDY at
Florin and the little boy brought to the Protestant Orphan Asylum in this city.

For a Shot.
LEE SENT BY JUDGE HART TO PRISON FOR THREE MONTHS.
Took a Shot at a Man Who, He Alleged, Destroyed His
Domestic Peace.
This
morning was the time set for the sentencing of George C. LEE, who had pleaded
guilty to a charge of simple assault. LEE is the man who in December last, at
the passenger depot, took a shot at one John MEHN, and when an attempt was made
to restrain him broke away from his captors, ran over the bridge into Yolo
County, but afterwards returned and gave himself up. The trouble between LEE
and MEHN grew out of the alleged alienation of the affections of Lee’s wife by Mehn.
LEE, upon his first meeting with the destroyer of his
domestic peace and happiness, promptly took a shot at him, but although his
intentions were deadly, his execution was poor, and the bullet sped wide of its
mark.
Shortly after
his arrest, LEE was arraigned in the Police Court on a charge of assault with a
deadly weapon, with intent to commit murder, and bound over to the Superior
Court. In view of the difficulty of obtaining a conviction by a jury in a case
of this kind, the charge was allowed to be reduced to one of simple assault, to
which Lee pleaded guilty.
When LEE appeared for sentence before Judge HART this
morning, Major W.A. ANDERSON, the attorney for Lee, presented a letter signed
by prominent citizens of Auburn, Placer County, among the names being those of
the Sheriff and the Auditor and Recorder of that county, showing that Lee had
borne a good reputation in that county for peace and quiet. Major ANDERSON made
a strong plea in behalf of his client and asked for the imposition of but a
nominal sentence, but Judge HART thought otherwise and sentenced him to serve
three months in the County Jail. The maximum sentence that could have been
imposed upon Lee would have been three months and $500 fine.

A Dog’s Leg
Broken
EXPRESSMAN IS ACCUSED OF CRUELTY TO AN ANIMAL
The Injured Canine Belongs to a Theatrical Company -
Now Under a Surgeon’s Care - Talk of an Arrest
Joseph
GRISMER, the well-known actor, who is at the head of the
?Humanity? company, which is to appear at the
Metropolitan Theater to-night, and John S. HALE, the
business manager of the organization, are hot after the scalp of a Sacramento
express man. They propose to prosecute him upon a charge of cruelty to animals.
When the train bearing the “Humanity” actors and five
or six horses and a pack of eighteen English fox hounds arrived at the depot in
this city this morning, there was a crush of curious people and a large
collection of hacks and express wagons. Mr. GRISMER told a Bee reporter that an
express man, who evidently imagined he owned the earth, drove deliberately into
the pack of hounds, running over one of the animals and breaking one of its
front legs. The suffering brute was taken to a livery stable, where the
fracture was reduced by a surgeon. Mr. GRISMER said that a police officer
witnessed the affair, but declined to make an arrest, saying that a warrant,
properly sworn to, would have to be procured. GRISMER and HALE then consulted
an officer of the Humane Society about the matter and were told that that
organization would prefer not to act in this case, as it would not be a wise thing
to get into conflict with the law officers.

Letter From Mrs. Minnie Pugh
To the Editor of The Bee -
Sir: Please pardon the liberty I take in writing to you. I am a subscriber to
your weekly paper. In the issue of January 6th is an account of the criminal
conduct of Frank E. PUGH, Postmaster at Perkins. Among the statements made in
the article published is that he is unmarried. Now, in justice to a cruelly
wronged and forsaken wife, I will state that he was married in El Dorado (this
county), to Minnie N. SAVAGE, of Shingle Springs, by Justice F.N. TRACY, and
five years ago the 4th of November, 1896, he forsook his home and wife to go
back to keep saloon.
To-day his wife is dependent upon the miserable sum of
$6 per month, a helpless invalid from nervous prostration, unable to bear her
weight upon her feet, or walk one step, only as she pushes a chair in front of
her.
Oh, if you could come and see for yourself and know
the cruelty, the privation and the suffering that she is now undergoing, it
would melt your heart to the keenest pity.
It worries me in by feeble condition to know that if a
false statement is telegraphed to the Associated Press it is so published in
every newspaper in the whole world.
?Helpless and alone.? None know the full meaning
of the words except those who experience it.
It is with the greatest exertion that I am enable to write, even with a lead pencil.
Trusting I have not wearied you by my writing, I remain
the forsaken wife of Frank E. PUGH.

Latrobe, El Dorado County, January 10, 1897.
Complaint From Washington.
To the Editor of The Bee - Sir: A great deal of
complaint is made by parents and guardians of children attending the public
school of Washington, Yolo County, of which Daniel Boone LACY is the Principal,
over a rule made by him (which subordinate teachers must enforce), that the
little scholars ranging all the way from 6 to 17 years of age are denied the
use of the water closet during school hours, save and except upon the penalty
that if they do make such use as nature requires, often time under an extreme
emergency, they will be required to remain in the school room during the recess
period.
Mr. LACY having been remonstrated with numerous times
in regard to this rule by the parents of children attending his school as to
the injury to the physical health of the scholars, have received from him
nothing but supreme contempt and a statement from him to these who talked to
him about the mater that he would make such rules as
he saw fit and see that they are obeyed.
One little girl by the name of Lillie LOHRY has just
returned from the hospital convalescing, after an operation performed at the
Sisters’ Hospital in Sacramento, for appendicitis. The operation was performed
by Dr. SUTLIFF, WIARD and O’CONNER, all of whom distinctly state that the cause
of the afflictio0n was brought on by constipation.
Others who are now out of school are suffering from
the rule as they believe, laid down by Daniel Boone
LACY. It is a well known fact to parents that many of their children are of a
sensitive nature, and through their want of knowledge of their physical
conditions, will withhold and check the calls of nature, because they will have
to pay the penalty of being detained in school during the hours when their
little comrades are at play, thereby bringing about the results stated by
physicians.
SEVERAL RESIDENTS
Washington,
Yolo County, Jan. 13th.
WATSON
PLEADS GUILTY
He Will Appear for Sentence Before Judge Hart on
Saturday.
C.H.
WATSON, who, a short time ago, entered rooms in two hotels in this city and
stole therefrom various articles of value, was upon
his own request brought into Judge HART’s Court this morning. The prisoner was
accompanied by his counsel, C.F. GARDNER. His case had been set for trial on
Saturday next. District Attorney RYAN announced that WATSON desired to withdraw
his plea of not guilty to the two charges of burglary filed against him, and
would plead guilty to one of the informations. The
District Attorney was willing to accept this proposition, as it would save the
expense of a trial, and would not necessitate the calling together of the jury
on next Saturday. The prisoner’s attorney assented to the statement of the
prisoner’s desire to plead guilty to one of the informations
against him, and Judge HART thereupon set Saturday next as the time for hearing
testimony as to the degree of the offense, and for the passing of sentence.
ANOTHER WALK-OUT.
Pacific Rolling Mills Employes
Out on a Strike.
SAN
FRANCISCO, Jan 14 - Another strike of Pacific Rolling Mills employes
took place to-day, the men were employed on work for the Claus Spreckels’ new building on Market Street, and struck for an
advance from $2.50 to $2.75 per day. When the advance was refused the men quit
work.
The strikers say the walkout was caused by a failure
of the rolling mills to keep their promise of a raise in wages of 25 cents per
day.

ESTATE
Made the Subject of a Suit Brought To-day.

against W.B. MILLER as administrator of the estate of Mary HADWICK, deceased.
The complaint alleges that Mary HADWICK died intestate and that W.B. MILLER was
duly appointed administrator of her estate; that on the 9th day of January,
1897, and ever since the 11th day of January 1896, plaintiffs were the owners
in fee and entitled to possession of certain real property situated in the City
of Sacramento and that the defendant, on January 9, 1897, did wrongfully and
unlawfully enter into possession of the same and seize and eject the plaintiffs
there from , and since that time has withheld the possession thereof from the
plaintiffs and in collecting the rents accruing from the leasing or letting of
said property. The petition of plaintiffs further
states that Mary HADWICK at the time of her death left no estate whatever, and
that said (rest of article not legible).

Railroad Officer Frank
RIDER yesterday returned from Yreka, where he had been for the purpose of
identifying George KNOWLTON, alias “Rebel George,” who had been at one of his
old swindling tricks, and got caught.
Several months ago KNOWLTON left San Francisco on the same train with a
citizen of German extraction, who was bound for the Klondike. KNOWLTON, who has
for years been recognized as the smoothest operator on the coast, entered into
conversation with his fellow-traveler, and represented that he himself was a Klondiker, and that he had brought out with him thirty
pounds of gold dust.
KNOWLTON finally induced
his victim to go into the smoking car, when near Sisson, and take a hand at a
game of cards. When the German quit the game he was $250 out, and the arrest of
KNOWLTON followed. Word was received in
this city yesterday that KNOWLTON had been convicted of swindling, but had not
yet been sentenced. KNOWLTON, or “Rebel George,” is well known in Sacramento,
having been in the employ of a wholesale liquor house here. He was also in jail
here about two years ago, at which time he was floated out on a vagrancy
charge.

The Grocer Plays Detective
and Captures a Low Bread Thief in the Act.
Will HANLON, the Twelfth and P street grocer, has suddenly sprung into
prominence as a detective and thief catcher - too suddenly and quite too
prominently for a modest and retiring young man who is averse to notoriety and
doesn’t like to see his name in the papers. Yesterday Mr. HANLON hardly had
time to go to his meals, so busily engaged was he in responding to the storm of
telephone congratulations of his friends from all over the city. It was all the result of a little prowess he
displayed yesterday morning in catching a thief, convicting him on the spot and
inflicting a deserved punishment before Justice DAVIS could get a whack at the
fellow. Frequently of late HANLON had
been robbed of the daily bread supply from one of the bakeries. The delivery wagon
reached the store just before daylight and left some fifteen loaves by the rear
door. Every few days this supply would vanish before the store was opened, and
about a week ago HANLON resolved to play detective for himself.
Secreting himself behind a
bush in the adjoining yard, he passed many a long, shivering and fruitless
vigil. It happened during the late severe frost wave, when the mercury went
down to the freezing point every morning, but HANLON was game, and “staid with it.”
Yesterday morning his
perseverance was rewarded. The baker called at the usual hour and left his
bread supply, and shortly afterward HANLON saw a man sneak up to the rear of
the store and taking a barley sack from under his arms proceed to stuff it with
loaves of freshly-baked warm bread. HANLON limbered up his artillery for action
in case it should be required, and then quietly slipped from his hiding place
and pounced on the thief before the latter realized what had happened. Billy
was mad clear through, and - “say, he didn’t do a thing to that bread stealer.”
He held him by the collar with his left hand and sent swings and half-arm jolts
with his right until he soon had his man on queer street.
It was bitter cold, and
HANLON needed just such exercise to warm him up and get his blood into
circulation. In the struggle his gun fell from his pocket, and but that made no
difference, for he didn’t need it. The
thief begged like a child. He said he was hungry and had been forced to steal
the bread to keep from starving, but HANLON would not let him go. He had secured the assistance and
companionship of Officer BAILEY, and when he had got through with his prisoner
he turned him over to the officer, who took what was left of him to jail.
The prisoner proved to be Antone VALLES, a man not wholly unknown in local history,
having once posed as a sort of private detective. During the day HANLON called
on the woman with whom VALLES lives, and she declared
that he had never brought a loaf of the bread to the house. It is presumed that
he had one or more customers for it and sold it.
HANLON’s friends are urging
him to sell out his business and try and secure employment as a police
detective, or failing in that, to become a prizefighter.
Some time on Wednesday night
a room in the Muddox building, at Third and K
streets, occupied by C. DANIELS, was burglarized and two pairs of trousers, a
valuable overcoat, a dress coat, two vests and an alarm clock were stolen. Officer FISHER recovered the stolen property
early yesterday morning, from a second-hand store, where it had been sold, and
succeeded in getting an excellent description of the burglars.
A
Railroad Workman Injured Near Gold Run, Placer County. Patrick
CORCORAN, a railroad section hand, was badly injured on Wednesday near Blue
Canyon. He had been taken ill while at work and was on his way to the camp,
walking down the track when he was struck by a train. CORCORAN was thrown to the side of the track,
where he was picked up in an insensible condition. His head was severely cut
and he was otherwise injured. He was taken to the Placer Hospital temporarily.
Alex McQUILLAN
was arraigned before Justice HENRY yesterday and pleaded guilty to failing to
come back with change for a $20 piece with which he was intrusted
by Louis CAFFARO’s bartender and wandering off with it to Penryn. Judge HENRY sentenced him to improve his
memory for five months in the County Jail.
George DAVIS and Harry
BAXTER were convicted of vagrancy in the City Justice Court yesterday, and were
sentenced to serve forty days each in the County Jail.
John RYAN, also charged
with vagrancy, was discharged, the evidence showing that on Tuesday last he
came up from Grand Island, where he had been employed on a farm.
M.G. DANDRIED, who is
charged with selling liquor without a license, doesn’t want to be tried by
Justice DAVIS - he prefers a jury of his peers.
All of which may be regarded by Justice DAVIS as a compliment, even if
not so intended. The case has been set for Tuesday next.
While beating his way
eastward over the railroad on Wednesday night a youth named J.H. ROBERTS got
one of his feet between the car bumpers at Colfax, with the usual result - a
crushed foot.
He was taken back to the
County Hospital at Auburn for treatment.
John SLATER, who has
appeared in Sacramento a number of times, giving his wonderful exhibitions of
mind-reading, will be at Pythian Castle three nights
this week, beginning to-night. He promises the same interesting entertainments
as before.
The Southern Pacific
Company has appointed J.F. DAUL, the long-time clerk at the Railroad Hospital
in this city, as manager thereof, to fill the vacancy caused by the death of
Robert FORBES.
Officer WILSON yesterday
arrested Jacob SMALL on a warrant sworn out by a man named ZIMMERMAN, charging
him with battery. The matter will be aired in Justice DAVIS’ court this morning.

Coroner CLARK has not yet
held an inquest on the body of Daniel HOLLAND, who committed suicide a couple
of days since. According to the Chico “Record,” HOLLAND did not commit the act
under a sudden impulse, but it would seem that he had been preparing for some
time to end his life. That paper says:
“HOLLAND’s last visit to
Chico was about a week ago, and while here he made it a part of his business to
have his insurance certificate with the Knights of Honor, for $2,000, changed
so that it would be paid to his wife instead of his children, in event of his
death. This action on the part of HOLLAND would indicate that he had considered
the matter of suicide for some time previous.
“Deceased was a native of England,
having been born in Liverpool in 1847.
During his boyhood he served several years as cabin boy on an English
vessel. He came to Chico in 1873 and resided here until 1890.”
The Crowning on Friday
Evening - An Enjoyable Affair
The entertainment given by
the Ladies’ Aid Society of the Presbyterian Church of Elk Grove on Friday
evening was a complete success, not only from a social point of view, but also
financially. The success of the entertainment was not due entirely to the
members of the church, for the community at large gave
their willing aid to assist the ladies of the church.
It would be impossible to
name each one who took part in the programme, for all
deserve great credit, and some who took the more prominent parts deserve
special mention.
The shadow pantomime was
very cleverly performed. The lovers, Albert LEAVITT and Miss Mary DUFFY,
carried out their parts to perfection.
The crowning of the Floral Queen was the main feature of the programme, and it was indeed a beautiful one. Miss BADER,
the Queen, who is a young lady of unusual attractiveness, was dressed in white
silk, with long train. She was attended
by two maids of honor and two pages. Her throne was artistically decorated with
bunting and flowers, and as she ascended it her pathway was strewn with
flowers.
The poetess, Miss HAVERLY,
presented the Queen with a lovely basket of flowers and crowned her.
After the programme the Queen held a reception and the guests were
served with refreshments. The tables and hall were a mass of flowers every hue
and color. The Florin Band added much to the entertainment.
Following is the programme in full:
Miss Nevada BADER, Queen of
Flowers; first maid of honor, Miss Vivian SPRINGSTED; second maid of honor,
Miss Blanche HENLEY; Callie COLTON, Orton COLTON, pages; Committee of
Arrangements - Rev. Adolph EABERLY (Chairman), Mrs. L.H. CONKLIN, F.E. SCHIMER,
Miss Nevada BADER, Mrs. Louisa HABERLY, Mrs. Carrie STICKNEY; invocation;

“The Spinning Wheel,” Miss May OMEROD; music, Florin Band’ solo, “The Virginia
Rosebud,” Mrs. Sam KENNEDY; piano duet (selected), Mrs. Henry WEIDEMAN and Miss
HOLMAN; recitation, “The New Woman,” Miss Bessie JACKSON; solo, “The Holy
City,” Mrs. W.L. MAGRAY; music, Florin Band; piano solo, “The Sparrows’
Gossip,” Miss May HICKMAN; duet, “O Sing Ye Merry Birds,” Miss Adeline LOLL and
George BOLES (rest of article is cut off).
Officer Dan HEALY of the
Children’s Society took Katie WILLIAMS, the runaway Reno girl, to the Magdalen Asylum in San Francisco.
This famous family resort,
situated in the picturesque Sacramento Canyon and within view of grand old
Shasta, will be open for the reception of guests about the 15th of

having been held to answer by the recently decapitated Police Court.
At the request of District
Attorney RYAN - who did not wish to take any chances of BAUMANN escaping
punishment - he was discharged but was at once re-arrested and taken before

Melvin HATCH and C. BOEHM
of this city who Monday last engaged in a knock-down-drag-out fight in Washington,
across the river, were arrested yesterday morning and taken before Justice GILL
of that place. They pleaded guilty to charges of disturbing the peace, and the
Yolo Justice let them off light - $2.50 each. Both paid.
Governor BUDD yesterday
issued a warrant on a requisition of the Governor of Oregon for the return to
that State of C.J. MELVIN, who is wanted in Portland for uttering a forged
contract. MELVIN is now in jail in San Francisco.
Andrew
SPARKS, a petty larcenist, is still in jail, notwithstanding the fact that the
Supreme Court has declared that his commitment by the old Police Court was not
legal.
Having been recommitted by
a Justice of the Peace, he appeared before Judge HUGHES yesterday in a habeas
corpus proceeding. His attorney, S.R. HART, contended that SPARKS’ liberty had been
already in jeopardy, and that therefore he was
illegally held.
Judge HUGHES did not agree
with this view of the matter, and remanded Mr. SPARKS to the custody of the Sheriff. The probability
is that SPARKS will appeal.
Herman and Edith LEIMBACH
executors of the estate of Catherine M. LEIMBACH, deceased, have, by their
attorneys, HOLL & DUNN, petitioned the Superior Court for permission to
sell the real estate, valued at about $16,000.
Personal property has already been sold to the amount of $1,858.06, and
there has been expended in discharging debts of the estate $3,278.20, leaving
$2,019.70 due the executors.
Deceased left no will, and
the heirs-at-law are Herman LEIMBACH (husband), Albert, Hustus
and J.H. LEIMBACH (sons), and Elizabeth MARSHALL, Amy TRYON, Maria SMITh and Edith and Mabel LEIMBACH (daughters).
The members of the Society
of Pioneers turned out in a body yesterday and received the remains of their
late comrade, Louis CALLISCH, on the arrival of the body from San Jose, and
escorted it to the City Cemetery. The
interment was in the Pioneers’ plat. The pall-bearers were C.K. DAUGHERTY, Dwight HOLLISTER, E. TWITCHELL and A.C.
SWEETSER. Beside the Pioneers many
of the old friends of the deceased followed his remains to the grave.
W.E. RICE and Ed DEVINE
were before Justice DAVIS yesterday morning to answer to a charge of battery,
but their cases were continued until this morning.
RICE and DEVINE were among
the men who beat a man named BENNETT at Eighteenth and J streets on Sunday
night, at which time a lady who interceded for their victim was knocked down.
The police say a third man will be soon brought in.
On Tuesday evening, the 22d,
Mr. and Mrs. STORCH entertained a few of their friends and neighbors. It was
one of the most enjoyable parties given.
The house was beautifully decorated with potted plants. The
predominating colors of the dining room were purple and yellow. Delightful

West, of which the deceased was a member. The singing was by Mesdames HOWARD
and LESTER. The mail-carriers attended
in a body.
The funeral of the late
George HALL was held from Calvary Baptist Church, on I street, between Twelfth
and Thirteenth, at 2 o’clock yesterday afternoon. The services were conducted
by Rev. Frank M. MITCHELL. The pallbearers were: William ELLERY, G. SHOEMAKER,
O. CROCKER, J. RUSSELL, Peter YAGER and Bert POLLARD.
A boy who gave his name as
Tony MACHADO called at the Receiving Hospital last night to have a cut in his
hand dressed that he had received from the bursting of a soda-water bottle. It
was taken care of, and he went on his way rejoicing.
The Sacramento Bar
Association held an executive meeting yesterday in relation to the application
of Z.F. WHARTON to have his sentence of disbarment from practice rescinded and
his license restored, but they decided not to make public the action taken, if
any, at the meeting.
Officer Mike FISHER
yesterday found in a second-hand store two valuable lap robes that had been
reported stolen in Woodland. They are at the police station, where the owner
can obtain them by proving property.
Owing to the number of
strangers and suspicious characters in the city, and the fact of our being at
war with Spain, the Mayor and Chief of Police have determined to place guards
at the powder-houses outside the city limits, and last night were placed on
duty there, and will be kept there night and day, to
prevent any treachery or foul play.
Deputy Sheriffs Frank O.
BURNS and J. KAVANAUGH of San Francisco last night brought up Frank ANDERSON, sentenced
from that county to Folsom for five years for burglary, and William WALLACE,
sentenced for four years for the same crime. They were lodged in the County
Jail, and will be taken up to-day.
Minnie M. FLINT, through
her attorneys MILLER & BROWN, has petitioned the Superior Court for a
modification of the order giving the custody of the son of herself and Oscar M.
FLINT to the latter, and asks that he be given into her custody, as she is
abundantly able to care for him.
J.H. KINGMAN, John MINFORD
and F.M. TRACY have filed in the Superior Court their inventory and
appraisement of the estate of Lizzie BARRETT, deceased, which consists of real
estate valued at $5,000.
Margaret J. McCARTHY, executrix of the estate
of Quinlan SULLIVAN, deceased, has filed in the Superior Court her inventory of
the property, which consists of $1,350 in cash.

of water in the river yesterday, which is about eight feet less than in usual
at this time of the year.

A FAMILY FIGHT
The Gilsons and Donohues at War - A Pistol Shot
Family discord led to a miniature war in the vicinity
of Ninth and T streets yesterday, when a man named Gilson fired a shot,
supposed to have been intended for his brother-in-law, whose name is Donahue.
Gilson, it is said, after shooting at Donahue, knocked down his own father, who
had the temerity to interfere. Family trouble is said
to be at the bottom of the affair.
Donohue, his wife and the elder Gilson visited the
police station to lay a complaint against the man who did the shooting, and
while there Gilson and his wife arrived to make complaint against Donohue.
Chief DWYER suspected that the men were armed and
searched them. The younger Gilson panned out two revolvers and a long dagger,
and one revolver was taken from Donohue. After disarming the belligerents,
Chief DWYER turned them loose. Donohue said he would swear out a complaint for
Gilson's arrest to-morrow.

purpose to deliver it by wagons.
SENSIBLE TALK TO SACRAMENTANS
About two weeks ago the Boston Shoe Company arrived
here and opened a sale of fine shoes and then stated that they would remain
here only four weeks. While it is true that a great many people have taken
advantage of this opportunity and bought boots and shoes for less than any
retailer can buy them, and therefore must be more than satisfied with their
saving of money, for a saving of 50 cents or a dollar on every pair of shoes
must in these times be acceptable; yet we would like to know this: If it is true
as we were informed before coming here, that in the city of Sacramento, without
including the surrounding country, there is a population of 35,000, why many
more or all do not come and get shoes while there is yet time. We will remain
here only two weeks longer. Why delay? Why not come at once? We never carry
shoes over if it can be helped. The prices are still lower than ever. Remember,
only two weeks more to buy high-grade shoes for very little money. Boston Shoe
Company, 605 J street.

ONE LETTER SHORT
A country paper had an editorial paragraph the other
day about sending only "battle-scared"
veterans to the front. This isn't quite as bad as calling them

A BOTTLE OF PARIS GREEN
Alleged To Have Been Sent to Chiquita
It Didn't Reach the Little Woman and the Cuban Atom
Still Lives.
Druggist Fred RAY was yesterday applied to by the
manager of Chiquita, the little pocket edition of a Cuban woman, for an
analysis of the contents of a so-called bottle of wine, alleged to have been
sent to the little woman as a gift. According to the story of the bottle, it is
said that it was feared it might contain poison; and that some Spanish
sympathizer may have sent it for the purpose of killing the liliputian
Cuban.
Mr. Ray made an analysis of the bottle's content,
though its appearance was enough of itself to show that the stuff was not
drinkable and that it was unlike any wine ever made. Chiquita or anybody else
who could be deceived by such a compound is hardly entitled to live.
Mr. Ray's analysis showed that the bottle contained
enough Paris green to kill twenty persons, if properly distributed, and so
stated in his report to the manager of the diminutive lady.
But Mr. Ray did not add anything further. He did not
say that the contents of the bottle was of the consistency and color of thin
mud, though such was the case, nor that when shaken and poured into a glass it
was as green as green grass, which was also true. Neither did his report say that
the cork of the bottle was smeared with the poison until it was as green as
jealousy, though such was also true, and he did not state that the attempt at
the poisoning (if there was any attempt) was a very bunglesome
affair, though he might have truthfully said as much.
It is said that a similar attempt was made to poison
Chiquita at San Francisco, but the wonder of it is, who would go to any trouble
to rid the world of so small an atom of humanity? Even a Spaniard would be in
very small business to turn such a trick. Deputy Sheriff KATZENSTEIN has been
"working on the case." The bottle of stuff is still in the possession
of Druggist Ray, and it speaks for itself.
However, the incident may serve to cause the little
woman to be talked about, and when a person in the show business is well
discussed he or she is likely to profit by the celebrity thus gained. It would
be unfair - possibly unjust - to insinuate that the episode was intended for
advertising purposes, but there are some who persist in regarding it in that
light.
HARMLESS SWALLOWS
A Citizen Who Protests Against Their Destruction
Chairman MANSON of the Bureau of Sate Highways,
protests against the slaughter of barn swallows which nest under the eaves of
the Capitol building.
For some weeks past Secretary of State BROWN has
authorized the shooting of the birds because their nests disfigured the
building, and at many times since then a visitor might readily believe that the
Spanish had invaded the State and were trying to break even by battering down
the big State building.
Mr. Manson says the mud nests put up by the
industrious birds are scarcely perceptible from the ground, and that the birds
themselves are most valuable farmers and horticulturists. They are insect
destroyers, weavil and mosquitos
being their principal food, and they never molest fruit or grain of any kind.
Mr. Manson says if the people around the Capitol
building want good shooting they might keep in practice on the pestiferous
English sparrows that infest the grounds.
FLAG RAISING
Old Glory Now Floats From an Oak Park Mast
There was a flag-raising event at Oak Park on
Saturday. Some of the good people there decided the other day that the Stars
and Stripes would look well floating in the Oak Park breezes, so M.D. Coon set
out to raise the money necessary to purchase a flag. He collected enough to pay
for a handsome 12x18 foot banner, and on Saturday it was raised aloft with
appropriate ceremonies.
The exercises were as follows:
Selection by the Oak Park Band; opening addresses by
the Chairman W.H. COLLINS; address by Rev. R.D. RUSSELL; song by the school;
raising of the flag, Jessie SHAW; salute and oath of allegiance to the flag by
the school; song, "Columbia the Gem of the Ocean," by the school;
selection, Oak Park Band; closing remarks, Rev. A. C. HERRICK; selection, Oak
Park Band; song, "America," by the audience; song, "Star Bangled Banner," Miss May WOODBRIDGE.
LEFT HIS BEAT
Officer Taylor Suspended - His Explanation
Policeman V.F. TAYLOR was suspended from duty by Chief
of Police DWYER last night. It is alleged that Taylor was off his beat on
Saturday night. A few weeks ago Taylor was suspended for leaving his beat while
on duty. It is quite probable that Chief Dwyer will prefer charges against him.
Officer Taylor was seen by a "Record-Union"
reporter, and admitted having been down town as stated. He has supper, he said,
about 5 o'clock each evening, and is unable to go until after 8 o'clock the
next morning without eating. There are no hotels or restaurants on his beat
which are open all night, and his only chance for getting a meal is to come
down town for it.
Taylor states that he is afflicted with stomach
trouble, and is unable in his weakened condition to go fifteen hours without
food.
TO THE GRAVE
Funerals of J.B. Cave, Miss Edna
G. Smith and John Freund.
The funeral of the late J.B. Cave took place from
Masonic Hall at 2 o'clock p.m. yesterday, and was under the auspices of Washington
Lodge, F and A.M. The services at the hall were conducted by Rev. W.S.
HOSKINSN, pastor of the English Lutheran Church, and at the cemetery by
Washington Lodge, the members of which attended in body.
Many of the floral pieces were remarkably beautiful
and all were appropriate. The singing both at the hall and cemetery was by
Mesdames BERGMANN, ROSS, HOWARD and MOYNIHAN. The pall-bearers were Lee
STANLEY, George CLARK, Charles TRAVER and Mr. HENSDALE, representing the
family, and G.B. SILVERBERG and Thomas ROSS, representing the Masonic order.
There was a large attendance yesterday at the funeral
of the late Miss Edna Godley SMITH, which took place from the residence of O.P.
DODGE on G street, near Seventeenth. Dr. Allen
GRIFFITHS officiated, and there was singing by a number of friends who had
volunteered their services. The casket was almost submerged in flowers, and
many of the designs were very beautiful.
The pall-bearers were C.H. LUSK, Lester NICHOLS, S.E.
POPE and George SHEPSTONE.
The funeral of the late John FREUND took place from
the residence of H.W. Freund, 429 O street, at 2
o'clock yesterday afternoon. The services were conducted by Rev. C.F. OEHLER,
pastor of the German Lutheran Church.
A large number of beautiful and appropriate floral
pieces were sent by friends of the deceased. The singing both at the house and
cemetery was by a quartet composed of Mesdames COPPERSMITH, GENSHLEA,
LONGBOTTOM, and SHEEHAN. The pall-bearers were H. FROMMELT, Frederick RINK,
Carl MEYER, M.L. SMITH, Daniel LONG and H. NICHOLAS.
TO BE DRUMMED OUT
A Man Who Enlisted and Left His Family in Want.
The call for volnteers for
the war has brought to light a peculiar case in San Francisco - that of a man
who enlisted in the army, leaving a wife and two children without means of
support. The popular idea has been that a man who leaves his family to battle
for his country is entitled to great credit for the sacrifice he makes, and
that the family will get along somehow.
But this theory is evidently the wrong one, as will be
seen from the following statement of the case of John Green, as made by the
"Call:"
"There is one of the volunteers whose experience
in the army is not likely to be in the line of honor and promotion. He is John
Green of 239 Shipley street. According to the
complaint made recently to the Eureka Society for the Protection of Children he
has a nice little wife and two small children. Without warning he left a job
that paid $15 a week, and without providing for the care of his family, joined
Battery B, heavy artillery.
The wife told Secretary WADHAM that she was destitute,
and the little ones have nothing to eat. Wadham at
once got out a warrant for the arrest of the young man and laid the case before
the officers of the battery. The latter have taken a keen interest in the case
and the result was that the Assistant Adjutant-General sent the following order
to Major RICE, under whose command Green now is:
"'Please take such measures as will prevent
Private John Green, Battery B, Heavy Artillery, from escaping until questions
of his status can be submitted to Department Commanders on Monday.'
Secretary Wadham has been
informed the Green will be drummed out of the ranks in disgrace and turned over
to the civil courts as soon as the Commanders can pass upon his case."

The Collision Occurred at
Ninth and G Streets - What Eye Witnesses Say One of the long expected accidents
growing out of the inability of a street car and bicycle to safely occupy the
same track, while going in opposite directions, occurred yesterday, and,
naturally, it was the rider of the wheel who suffered.
The accident was a
deplorable one, for the victim, Jesse J. ANDERSON, is terribly maimed and may
possibly have suffered fatal injury. Mr.
ANDERSON, who is a salesman in the store of W.F. PURNELL, was returning from
his noon lunch, coming down G street, and riding between the car tracks. At
Ninth street he met a car going in the opposite direction, and there something
happened that caused him to come in collision with the car, with the result
that his right thigh was fractured several inches below the hip joint, a large
piece of flesh gouged from his left shoulder, and his head frightfully cut and
bruised. It was also thought he suffered internal injury, as he had several
hemorrhages during the afternoon.
Various stories were afloat as to just how the accident occurred. One
was that ANDERSON had passed the front end of the car, fell beneath it after
the front wheels had passed him and was run over by the rear wheels. Superintendent ROSS of the car line states,
however, that a lady living close by witnessed the accident, and she states
that ANDERSON went down in front of the car and was taken off the fender after
the car was stopped. This, he says, is
verified by another lady and the motorman of the car. Whether or not Mr. ANDERSON was trying to
pass the car, or suddenly sought to cross in front of it, does not seem to be
known, and his condition was such that his version of the occurrence could not
be obtained. Mr. ROSS states that if
ANDERSON had, as some persons stated, fallen under the side of the car and been
run over by the rear wheels his limbs would have been severed. His terrible
cuts and bruises were caused, Mr. ROSS says, by the severe collision with the
car and the manner in which he must have fallen in front of the platform. But
for the fender he would doubtless have been killed or more frightfully mangled.
Mr. ANDERSON is a very
popular young gentleman, and his many friends are greatly
pained over his misfortune. It was not determined yesterday whether or not his
skull was fractured, but the fact that he was not at once rendered unconscious
gives a chance for hope that such was not the case.
Beverly CRAMPTON, a colored
man, who is under arrest in Montana for embezzlement committed in Alameda
County, will be brought back for trial.
Deputy Sheriff WHITE of that county yesterday obtained the necessary
requisition and departed last night for Montana.
They are to be Partaken of with Judgement and
Discretion The bountiful earth brings fourth fruits in their seasons. They are
wholesome but should be eaten with the sauce of discretion. The apple is at the head of the list. It is
more easily digested than any other fruit. But the skin should always be
discarded, for it irritates the bowels.
Fresh figs are good, but
dried ones should always be carefully cooked.
Grate the pineapple, or cut it into tiny bits, for its fiber is tough,
and resists the juices of in the stomach.
The common banana is a
deceptive thing, and children should never be allowed to eat it raw. Baked
bananas are highly praised. Never should
the skin of any fruit be swallowed. The skin is an armor
for the pulp. It is as unfit for food as a piece of chalk is.
Whenever you have eaten underripe or overripe fruit, and feel sharp, darting pains
in the gastric region, you will find prompt relief in Duff’s Pure Malt Whisky,
taken in a little warm water.
It is supremely important
that the sickness caused by bad fruit should be treated at once. The value of a
good whisky in bowel troubles is urged by the leaders in the medical
profession.
Duffy’s Pure Malt is
absolutely free from harmful matter, as chemical tests prove.
Governor
BUDD has appointed Sarah J. FARWELL of Oakland, H. Augusta TOZER of Sacramento,
Lettie M. WINANS of Petaluma, Cora A. MERRITT of

Under Sheriff REESE and
Deputy SCHWILK have a “dandy” wheel recovered from the junk loft of DAVIS, the
anvil thief. It was stolen form F.M. JONES’ cyclery many months ago, and looks as if it had hung in
front of Morro Castle during one of Sampson’s bombardments.
DAVIS had tried to ride the
wheel, and when it bucked him off he would beat the ground with it. When it
collided with a fence he slammed it against the structure till he was weary.
Then he took an iron bar and beat it, and ended the seance
by jumping on it.
The wheel is a beauty,
indeed, and would have outshone anything in the Horribles’
parade.
On the 3d instant a
birthday party was given by Miss Mona BAILEY at her home near Walsh’s station
to a number of friends. A very pleasant time was had. It was also the birthday
of her grandmother, Mrs. S.A. CHASE. Ice cream and cake were served in
abundance. The birthday cakes were gayly decorated
with American colors. The party departed with many good wishes for the future.
Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. J.D. BAILEY, Mr. and Mrs. D.Y. CHASE, Mr. and Mrs. A.G. McMANAS,

resided here. The family of Supervisor
William CURTIS, accompanied by Miss Ida FLEMMING, Miss Lou MORRILL and Theodora
WILLIS, leave this morning for Phillips’ Station, El Dorado County, to spend
the summer. Mr. CURTIS will accompany them and remain a week.
Lawyer
R.M. CLARKEN, who has been quite ill for a couple of weeks, was out yesterday
but is still too weak to occupy his office. He is at the Sisters’ Hospital.
Yesterday some boys at
Twelfth and O streets were experimenting with powder, and they had as is usual
in such cases, a practical demonstration of its powder and dangerous qualities.
They had got possession of
a shotgun cartridge shell, filled it with powder, plugged it up and exploded
it. The metallic base of the cartridge was blown off and struck a little son of
H.W. RIVETT, who was looking on, cutting an ugly gash in one of his cheeks.
Several stitches were required to close the wound.
Had it struck one of his
eyes the optic would have been destroyed.
The Arcega
family has encountered a string of hard luck. On Monday evening, Cal, the
youngest of the brothers, had two fingers blown off by the explosion of a toy
cannon, and last evening Joseph E., the eldest, met with a serious accident,
the marks of which he will carry to his grave.
In the City Justice’s court
yesterday morning, A.P. SILVIA, charged with assaulting George SMITH, was
discharged. The evidence showed that SMITH ordered a meal at SILVIA’s
restaurant and refused to pay for it. SILVIA ejected him and he fought. SILVIA
fought back and was arrested. Ah Lung
pleaded guilty to a charge of gaming, and was fined $100, which he paid.

yards here for five or six years, but enlisted in the regulars in Idaho and
held the rank of Corporal.
The Shed Was Consumed
(Folsom Telegraph)
Monday night, at half-past
8 o’clock, the cry of fire startled our citizens. A reddened sky in the
vicinity of the Catholic Church indicated the location of the fire, and upon
arriving there a shed in the rear of Joe PERRY’s house was found to be ablaze,
and was soon destroyed by the devouring elements.
John H. BYRNE, son of P.A.
BYRNE of this city, a member of Captain Lucey’s
Sacramento company, has been transferred to one of the brigades that is about
to leave San Francisco for Manila, and will be assigned to the Signal Corps, in
which branch of the service he has had experience here.
The death is announced of
Louis SNOOK, aged 18 years, a nephew of H. G. SMITH. Typhoid fever was the
cause. Deceased was a brother of Police Court Clerk Frank SNOOK, Peter SNOOK, Miss
Jennie SNOOK and Mrs. Andrew WASSON. He was a promising young man, and had many
friends here.
James J. FOY, brother of
