AN IMPORTANT NATTER.
proposition for a School of Sculpture
Laboripo for n Collection

Lsboring for Collection.
1t is not now deemed advisable to 90 into
details concerning movement on foot TO
procure through the possible grant from
abroad some noted and highly valu-
able works of art in marble for the Art
Gallery in this city. 1t must suffice to say
negotiations set On foot some months sgo
by Director of the California Museum
Association have so far progressed as
to greatly encourage the hope of success.
1t is believed to be possible to secure
such rare works as to make Sacramento a
center sought for from fer and near to view
them, and it is deemed possible, also, to
found here such art schools as will add
new attractiveness TO and vastly augment
the importance of Sacramento and bring TO
1t new elements of prosperity. The en-
viroDment is sill favorable to development
here in time, the like of which has else
where made lesser places world famous.
The Directory of the California Museum
Association is earnestly engaged in an en-
deavor that will be of vast benefit to Sacra-
mento, if successful, and which it is be-
iieved will be. Incidental TO this, it
is DESTROYS to add tC its highly
successful School of Design class
i'll modelling or sculpture To do SO a com
petent teacher must be secured, and such
cannot be engaged until guarantees are
given that pupils sufficient will be pledged.
To that end notice is published elsewhere
of the intention to found class, if pupils
can be had Those who are willing to Join
or send pupils to such class, should at
once notify the Association. If sufficient
subscribe, teacher will be sent for and
the class be formed with the opening of the
fall term of the School of Design. Model
ing may engage as large a number as
drawing or painting. 1t addresses taste
in art of a somewhat different order, and
one that many hold to be more easily
gratified. There is no reason why, in a
country so favored as California, and the
Sacramento valley especially, the CON-
munity should not maintain the pro-
posed class in sculpture. There are here
people of sufficient means to subscribe for
the required number of pupils, and if il is
done it is not vain to look forward to the
possibility of California becoming out of
these beginnings the home of art III the
West. 1t would be matter of no great
effort for citizens with means to name and
bestow scholarships sufficient to insure the
class in sculpture. 1t may mean a great
deal more for Sacramento than is now ap-
parent. 1t is understood that with a fair
number of pupils the tuition would be
low, and a scholarship for year or two a
tritie for the well-to-do 10 give to develop
worthy native genius.

YOUNG HOODLUMs.

Sacramento Producing Unusually
Large Crop of Both Sexes.
That Sacramento is producing an unusu-
ally large crop of hoodlums is well known
TO every one who has occasion TO travel
around town after night Girls between
the ages of fourteen and sixteen, usually
going in pairs, are to be seen on the street
corners and at the corners of the alleys on
the cross streets, talking to young men and
boys, and stop and talk with any stranger
they meet. When any one whistles they
will stop and accost the man with the worst
kind of slang, and will walk to the remote
parts of town with total strangers. They
answer to the name of "Chippy," and are
guilty of conduct unbecoming their sex.
The town is full of strangers, and these
girls, in their nightly wanderings, steer
clear of those with whom they are &C.
quainted, and are picked up by total strang-
ers. The girls are not alone in this mash
ing business, but many young married wo-
men take hand. and in many instances
they are in a great measure to blame for
the conduct of their younger companions.
O1e young married woman, a tall brunette,
spends about one-half of her time in the
Capitol grounds, where she goes to meet
young men by appointment both during
the daytime and in the evening. She is of
respectable pareptage, has kind husband
and good home. The boys of Sacra-
mento some of them at least, are what a
policeman last evening termed them, holy
terrors." A dozea, or more of this class
hold forth in the alley between J and K,
Third and Fourth streets, every night.
They are tough gang, and render the air
blue with oaths bigger than themselves,
and are so expert in the use of cuss words
and vulgar expletives that they would put
to shame any graduate of barroom. Their
peculiar delight seems to be to pelt China
men with rocks, and any poor Celestial
who happens to come their way is lucky if
he escapes without being seriously injured.
Last night a number of them attacked
Chinaman at the corner of the alley Just in
! front of the RECORD. UNION office, and
pelted him severely with cobble-stones. A
citizen gave chase, and the boys being fleet
of foot eluded capture. He ascertained the
names of some of them, and if caught in
that neighborhood again they will be ar
rested. Their names are George Kicker,
Louis Paine, James Davis, alias Butch
Davis, and Harry Tisnot messenger boy

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
CHINESE HELP.
1t is Becoming Unpopular with sacra-
mento Hop-Raisers

1t is Becoming Unpopular with sacra-
mento Hop-Raisers.
A few years ago the only help used in
the hop fields of Sacramento county was
Chinese, and they had monopoly of the
fruit-paeking also. Before the agitation
four years ago three-fourths of all the do
nestle help in this city was Chinese, but to-
day the white women and girls who do
housework and cooking in the families and
hotels outnumber the heathens three to
one. What is true in the city is true also
in the country, except that the displace-
ment OF the Chinese has not been so large
proportionately. In conversation with a
chinese boss on L street yesterday it was
ascertained that the demand for Chinese
labor was diminishing more and more each
year. He said that as cooks and walters
there was no longer any demand, except
Tor the most experienced, and they were
employed at reduced wages to that obtained
a few yesrs ago. He remarked that the
chinese could compete with the white
man, but when he came in connect
ton with the white woman and boy he was
Knocked cut. He said there were too
many Cinnamon here now and thew must
remain n California. He had letters from
members OF his company in Boston, New
YORK and Chicago, and they told him
Cinnamon could make more money in
California in SIX months than thew could
back there in whole year and that the
cost OF living here was only one-half of
what it was East.
Mr. Camp, who has extensive hop fields
Just east OF Brighton, has a large force at
Work picking his crop. In conversation
with reporter yesterday, he said he had
white, Indian and Chinese help. The
white help consisted mainly of women and
girls, IN some instances whole families the
Indians were Piutes from the neighbor-
hood OF Winnemucca, New, and the Chi
nese the same old gang employed last year.
They all look alike-he cannot tell one
from the other. He says the white and
the Indian help is very much superior to
that OF the Chinese. He pays them at the
rate of 81 per hundred, while the Chinese
are only given so cents. The whites and
Indians are clean about their work, do not
gather the vine leaves with the hops, and
what they picked are easily cured and han
died. He Is IN hopes next year to be able
to secure enough white and Indian help SO
as to be able to do away with the opium
smoking crowd" There was a time"
said Mr.. Camp. when thought we could
not get along without the Celestials, but
now | can readily see how much better
on we would be II there was not one of
those pig-tails in the State" In speak
ing OF how much could be made in the
hop fields, be said a lady and two little
daughters, who had been working steadily,
averaged So a day between them.
A gentleman down from Wheatland
yesterday said that hop picking began in
that section last week. Last season all the
help was Chinese. This year il consists of
$50 whites and 20 Chinese, and the latter
are being displaced as fast as white help
can be secured.

Sacramento.
The time and place of the funeral of the
late Charles Croker have not yet been
definitely fixed but will be some time to-

Colonel c. +. Croker, San francisco, Cdt-DEAR
Sir: In behalf of the municipality of Sacra-

commercial organization of the business men
of this city, we desire to extend to you, and
through you to the other members of the fam
lily of your lamented father, the condolences of
heartfelt sympathy in the bereavement of the
hour. Charles Croker was type of the high
est commercial worth of this city, from which
was born his greatest enterprises. We recognize
in him one whose far-Seeing anticipated the
Importance and greatness of this commercial
center, a firm friend of which he ever stood
and whose faith in which never faltered. He
was cltlzen tnat was foremost in good works,
broad views and heroic convictions; firm, ener-
getic fearless, he was leader in our commerce
and potential force in our history. We mourn
with you his loss, but we take pride in the
career that made him prominent in the bust
ness world, and in the fact that his LIES work
remains monument to the integrity energy
and high sense of justice that distinguished
him as pioneer merchant of our city. and
thereafter as one of the greatest constructors of
the age-whose achievements constitute an i'm
perishable chapter in the history of the nation.
We but express the universal desire of his
fellow citizens of Sacramento that the remains
of Charles Croker shall eventually be placed
at rest in the city of his early home. Very re.
specially yours, EUGENE J. GREGORY,
Mayor.

ExhibIts at the State Fair.

The San Francisco journal of Commerce,
in speaking of the State Fair, says The
State Fair being established especially to
represent the varied industries of Califor-
mia, it is but right and fitting that ali State
institutions should be represented there in
some way or other. The State Board of
Viticulture, the State Board of Forestry,
etc, should have exhibits OF the products
of our vineyards and forests, etc.-informa-
ton of statistical nature concerning them.
All departments that are assisted by the
State should most certainly be represented.
The State University, the Normal School,
the various asylums, ETC.. should send sam
pies of their work, photographs of the
buildings, etc. All this would make most
unique and desirable addition to the expo
sition.

Four masked men, all heavily armed, entered the Citizens Bank at Limestone, |. T., Saturday, and, presenting pistol at the head of the cashier, W. T. Rey- holds, demanded that he should turn over the cash on hand While pretending to comply, Reynolds slammed the door of the safe and turned the lock. He was at once laid out by bullet from the pistol of one of the desperadoes, which struck him above the heart, killing hlm instantly.
 The bank was then ransacked, and all the money in the cash drawer, some $2, 300, was taken. An attempt was made to open the safe, but in this the robbers were foil ed. At the sound of pistol shots several people came running to ascertain the cause ol the trouble. They were fired upon by three of the men who were on guard, and retreated to get arms. In few minutes the town was aroused, and 20 or 30 armed men hurried toward the bank. The rob- bers were just mounting their horses, and < hot fire started, in which one of the rob bers, Thomas Evans, was killed outright, being shot several times in the head and body. He was identified as a ranchman living near town. In the fight four citi- zens were slightly wounded. The three surviving robbers then rode away with the booty captured 4 posse, after an hours hard pursuit, captured the robbers and took them back to Limestone. The leader was found guilty of the murder of Rey- holds. and was forthwith strung up. The other two were placed in charge of strong guard and started for Fort Wachita, where they will be turned over to the United States authorities. The stolen money was recovered. . -.-
