DeRth Of Mrs. Fitzgerald.

Mrs. A. L. Fitzgerald, wife Of our fell
low townsman, A. L.. Fitzgerald, ESQ.,
died between 10 and II O'Clock yesterday
morning Of pneumonia, after a short i'll
ness. On Sunday she had rallied a little.
and on Monday morning exhibited evil
dences of improved strength, making those
about her bedside feel hopeful of her con-
dition, but toward evening the fatal re-
lapse set in, and she gradually faded away.
Everything that husband and mother, II
kind friends could do to minister to her
wants was done, and she died surrounded
by those whom she loved and in whom she
had a being. She leaves a grief-stricken
husband and three children, a mother, and
two brothers in California. Her age was
SO. The entire community ia ia deep sym
pathy with the bereaved family, and no
death could cause more universal and
earnest regret. The remains will be taken
to San Jose, California. for burial, and
will be accompanied by her husband and
mother, Mrs. w. W. Mccoy. The funeral
services will be held this afternoon at 2
O'Clock at the residence, after which the
body will be taken to the depot for trans
portation.

Billy Davidson, Of the Postofioe Book
store, makes the announcement elsewhere
in this issue OF the SENTINEL that he has
received his elegant stock Of goods suita-
BILE for holiday presents, and a general in
v~itation is extended to everybody to in
spect the same. In fine gift books the
assortment is complete-all the poets in
elegant binding, complete sets OF Dickens,
Thackeray, Irving, etc. The little folks
have not been neglected in the book line.
In fact, in appearance and design the
books this year for the youngsters surpass
those for tho older readers, and the num-
Der of the different kinds makes even q
partial description impossible. Last year
the demand for Christmas cards was 80
great as to necessitate ordering Ave differ
ent times by telegraph. To obviate this q
very large order was sent direct to the
manufacturer this year. thereby securing
much better assortment than formerly,
and also sufficient quantity to supply all
demands, while the prices have been ma
t~erially reduced. His line Of toys en-

tives, mechanical alligator, etc. Don't

The Transit of Venus.

The phenomenon that is to be seen to-
day is not sublime or awe-inspiring, like q
total eclipse of the sun nor simply beau
tiful, like the conjunction Of two planets ;
nor magnificent, like the telescope Saturn.
The naked eye observer looking at the sun
through smoked glass, will see a tiny black
spot passing over his face. The telescope
observer will see a black round ball, as
large as the full grown moon, making its
way across the great luminary. The phe-
nomenon to the ordinary observer will be
this and nothing more. But thousands of
scientific observers will eagerly note, as if
life depended upon the accuracy, the Sec
ond when Venus touches the suns edge,
the moment when she Is fully embarked
upon the disk, the exact time of her pas
sage, and the second when her retreating
edge touches the suns edge, as we'll as the
time when the last contact occurs and the
exhibition closes. There are two principal
reasons, as given by scientists, for the
Importance attached to the transit Of
Venus. One is that it is considered the
best means for determining the suns dis
lancet; the other Ia that it is extremely
rare in its occurrence. Venus and Mer-
curry, we are told by the scientific world,
are the only planets that can MAKE translts
across the sun, for their orbits are within
that of the earth, and they are therefore
called inferior or inner planets. Observers
will, therefore, witness an event to-day to
be remembered for lifetime. II %astrono-
mers can agree in their calculations and
make the transit q means Of accurately
determining the suns distance, q great
feat will be accomplished. For the suns
distance from the earth is the unit or tape
for measuring celestial distances outside
the solar system, and on Its accuracy the
whole celestial structure depends,

The trial of this case was resumed yes
terday. and the morning hour principally
consumed by the plaintiff in offering testi-
mony. Defendants counsel followed by
asking the Court to pass judgment in their
favor. on the grounds that the Court had
no jurisdiction in the case; that the
plaintiff had not established his statement
by proof, and that the testimony in the
case showed the plaintiff had mistaken his
remedy The Court overruled this mo-
ton, and defendant excepted. The defend
ant then introd uced his witnesses, and
the Court allowed the judges, inspectors
and clerks of the disputed precincts (Ali-
sons Ranch, Roberts Greek and DEVILS
Gate) to come into its presence and sign
the returns, which they had neglected to
do before sending them to the Commits

objection, to which plaintiff excepted. The

James Bruce's Beefsteak.

Many of the events he described were
so extraordinary that they were imme-
diately discredited, greatly to the in
jury of the book-so much so that cop
les of the work were found on sale soon
after publication as waste paper. Later
travellers, however, substantiated Bruce's
claims to veracity; and Bruce undoubt-
eddy was firm on that point. What /
have written l have written are the
concluding words to his preface, and
this was his invariable reply to every
skeptic. Once he startled doubling
friend by practical exemplitication of
the statement that the natives of Abyss
mia eat raw beef. The friend, who was
at dinner with Bruce, had said that such
a custom was 'Impossible.
Bruce rose from the table and left the
room without word, returning short
ly afterwards with piece of raw beef
steak, peppered and sailed la Abyssi-
MIA. ''Now, then" he said to the gen.
tleman, ''eat that or fight me-" The
steak was eaten, the traveller adding,
''Now. sir, you will never again say it
is impossible"
