DR.. Edward B. Foote as a represen-
tative of Eclectic Medicine, as writer
of popular medical literature, and as
a physician, stands prominent, and is,
perhaps, throughout the world, better
known by his writings than any other
medical writer who has directed his
teachings to the people rather than
the profession. Born and raised
among Connecticut settlers, on the
"Western Reserve" in Ohio he early
began the work of many self-made
men. Starting at the age of sixteen
as "printer's devil" in a newspaper
Office, he worked his way to the edi-
torial chair, and was severally con-
nected with the most prosperous
weekly (of its time) in Connecticut,
and the first successful morning pa
per of Brooklyn, N. Y, but his main
impulse had always been toward the
study of medicine, and to this end
business enterprises were sacrificed
until in apprenticeship with noted
botanical specialist, and a course of
study finishing with graduation,
found him prepared to follow out the
bent of his life to its completion. He
was among the earliest of those who
advocated the publication of anant-
omical, physiological and hygienic
books, for the masses, and his success
in writing interesting and popular
books has been conspicuous. His first
and best known book, entitled "Med-
ical Common Sense" reached a circu-
lation of 100000 copies, probably be-
cause of its originality and novelty in
new field and his subsequent writ
ings have been mainly in the same
line, "Science in Story" having been
written for the purpose of providing
readable book for children, and one
which should make plain to their
comprehension the facts which he
considered necessary for them to
know concerning their own bodies.
In speaking of the late Prof. j. S.
Smith, of Oxford, London, Nature re-
marks: at has been said that in
scientific thought, the best and most
original ideas have been conceived
before the age of thirty" This is
probably true, also, of the original of
of this portrait. His most radical
thoughts were published in his first
work, written before he was twenty
nine years of age, and though his pen
is never long idle, his first success has
not yet been equalled by subsequent
work, though his "Plain Home
Talk" revision and enlargement of
"Medical Common Sense" seems
likely in time to obtain a circulation
rivaling that of its predecessor.
In practice DR.. Foote has always
been independent, progressive and
original, always foe to old-fogyism
and trade-unionism in medicine !;
once a disciple of the old Thompsoni-
an botanical school, as opposed to
mineral and blood-letting practice,
and now staunch supporter of Ec-
lecticism in all that thename implies,
He has been actively engaged in the
practice of his profession for thirty
years, and as the portrait given here
with is from a recent photograph,
hard work. appears to agree with him,
and he looks equal to twenty years
more of it.

Attempted Murder and Robbery

One of the boldest attempts at assassina.
ton and robbery ever made in this city
occurred about half-past Z last evening on
Third street. James McCue one of the
walters at the Capital Hotel, after finishing
his work started for the depot to meet some
friends whom he expected to arrive on an
incoming train. While crossing street.
on Third, he took from his pantaloons
pocket some five dollars in silver, counted
1t i'll his hand, put portion in his vest
pocket, and returned the balance to his
pantaloons. The jingling of the coin at
tracted the attention of several persons, and
the silver was plainly seen under the
strong glare of the electric light.
As he passed the Boston drug store
man was seen following him, and
when near the alley, in front of Blues
carriage shop, McCue was heard to cry out
murder ~ Several gentlemen ran to his
assistance, and the man that had been fol-
lowing him disappeared in the dark alley.
McCue was picked up in almost an insensi-
BILE condition. He had received fearful
blow from some heavy iron instrument
over the eye, which was swollen and LAGER
ated, a severe cash in the back of his head,
and his tongue was nearly cut in twain.
The latter probably was done by his own
teeth. McCue says he did not see his as
sailant, who sneaked up behind him.
McCue's hand was in his pocket when he
was struck, and when he pulled it out the
money came with it and was scattered
upon the sidewalk. Assistance came so
promptly that the would-be assassin and
robber did not have time to gather it up.
The police were Immediately notified of
the occurrence, but as no one can give
description of the thug it is not at all
likely that he will be apprehended.

The Grass Valley Union records the fol-
lowing exploit of DR.. II. H. Briggs, for
many years resident of Sacramento, and
well known to sportsmen throughout the
State. Incidentally it may be remarked
that the Grass Valley whisky referred to
always was looked upon as uncertain III.
H. Briggs, Secretary of the State Sports
mans Association, was one of the guests of
the Grass Valley Sportsman's Club, at their
quail shoot and camp stew on Saturday,
and was acting as pointer and retriever for
Messrs. Cross and Hass, OF Stockton, who
had located some quail in clump of small
trees and bushes. Briggs was working his
way through the brush, when he flushed,
not quail but fox, which instead of TAX
ing flight showed his teeth and stood his
ground. Although having no gun in hand
the Secretary was equal to the occasion,
and showed the benefit of his athletics by
kicking Reynard under the jaw and stretch
ing him at full length, and then by the
application of a few more vigorous kicks
placed the animal in a moribund condi-
ton. The placing of piece of baling wire
around the neck of his foxship completed
the capture and he was taken triumphantly
into camp. 1t is said that upon arriving
there the game showed unmistakable signs
of returning life, and it was proposed to
assist resuscitation by the administration
of a stimulant, but the whisky worked the
wrong way, and the depredator of barn
yards, with an expiring effort, Strengthened
out as stiff as pike-statf.'

Bad Samaritans.

Last evening German OF respectable APP
pearance, and perfectly sober, called at the
station-house and reported that he had
been robbed of 800, money which he had
saved while working at the Rancho del
Paso during the summer. He has little
home in the foothills, and intended leaving
for it in a few days, but was detained in
the city to receive medical treatment for a
pain in his back. Just before the East
bound express train left the depot last
evening he was standing beside the cars, on
the side furthest from the depot platform,
talking with friend who was going away,
when, in stepping about, he slipped and
fell, hurting his back to such an extent
that he was thrown into stupor by the
pain. Two men picked him up and carried
him to the bushes north of the depot, and
he felt that they were acting the part of
good Samaritans. When ne recovered from
his pain sufficiently to take care of himself,
the train was moving out of the depot, and
the men were going away. Instinctively
he looked to see whether his silver watch
and chain and his money were safe, and
found the watch all right, but his purse,
containing the $50, was gone. The men
had by that time disappeared.

The Citrus Fair,

The Executive Board of the Central Cali
fornia Citrus Fair Association held another
meeting at the Board of Trade rooms on
Saturday, Mr.. Gallatin presiding. The
subject of arranging for and holding the
second citrus fair in Sacramento was con-
sidered at length, and much enthusiasm
manifested. The time for holding it was,
after full discussion, placed upon the third
week in December, commencing Monday,
the 18th, and closing the Saturday follow
ing. 1t will be remembered that when the
citrus fair was opened here on the 18th CT
January last most of the orange crop was
gone. Taking this fact into consideration,
and the pres ent condition of the maturing
citrus fruits, it was believed that the mid
die of December would afford the best ex-
hibits to be had of the seasons products
DR.. Latham stated that he had received
letters from the Union Pacific Railway
officials, and also those of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy road, urging that
the citrus exhibits be transferred to Chicago
at the close of the fair in this city. The
consideration of the proposition was post
poned till a future meeting

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
Yesterdays Baseball Games.

At the Snowflake Park yesterday after
noon game was played between the Atlas
and Snowfakes, an attempt being made to
make the mines nearly even by Meagher, of
the Atlas, acting as catcher for the Snow
fakes, while Geo. Mclaughlin, for the Junior
club, caught for the Atlas, and the box was
occupied for the latter by Robertson first
and then by Fisher. McMullen, pitcher of
the Pioneers, came up from the Bay Satur-
day evening, not knowing that the Pioneer
Alta game for yesterday had been post
poned, and to pass the time he played first
base for the Snowfiakes. The grounds
were muddy in places and slippery in
others, and during portion of the game
there was a light fall of rain. The players
being unable to keep their feet under con-
troll, inyoluntarily went through all sorts
of funny motions, and those INDUCED in
slides who never slid before, and the ex-
perts in that line introduced them in the
most reckless manner, without regard to
whether they were near bases or not. OF
course, errors were numerous, and after
awhile the players, the Atlas especially,
went in for picnic of fun, and not only
had good time themselves but kept the
spectators roaring with laughter As re-
CARDS ball-playing it was not much of
game-though there were several fine
plays made-as the Atlas were too
heavy for their opponents. The latter
managed to keep close up, however, and
were only beaten one run:

Pigeon Shooting.

The Forester Gun Club held its monthly
medal shoot al Agricultural Park yester-
day morning. As many members of the
club had taken advantage of the favorable
weather to go out after ducks and quail,
but nine contested at the trap. The birds
were remarkably strong and lively lot,
and nearly all became tailers, several of
them carrying a load of shot outside of the
bounds. The Gerber brothers made the
best shooting, John carrying off the gold
medal with a score of IL out of u, and
Henry and William E. tieing on TO- After
the medal shoot, in matches of double
birds, John kept up his reputation for
effectiveness by killing 10 out of Is. Fol-
lowing is the score of the main shoot:
