Literary Entertainment.

a pleasing entertainment was given on
Saturday night by the members of the
cambridge Normal Literary Society. The
programme consisted of vocal and instru-
mental music, Rotations, and the trial of
breach of promise case, entitled Polly
Ann Stephenhysen VS.. Obediah Smith. y
The participants were students at the Balm
bridge business College, and J. c. Balm
bridge acted as Judge.
The plaintiff was Fred. Foote a young
man of the school, who, by the use of a
great deal of paint and powder, a wig.
dress and other apparel generally worn by
ladies, had managed to give himself quite
feminine appearance.
The defendant, Charles Luce, also a
young man of the school, was supposed to
h5e dandy of Sacramento, who in the hope
of gaining wealth, had visited the plaintiff
at her fathers farm in Yolo county, but
finding the father not so well off as he had
at first supposed, attempted to break the
promise of marriage he had made to the
plaintiff
During the argument, plaintiffs counsel
produced such an effect upon both plaintiff
and defendant that they flew to each other
and embraced vowing eternal love and
faith.
The literary society has been running for
about month, and the scholars are greatly
interested in it. The roll of membership
is constantly increasing and each Saturday
nights entertainment brings new visitors.

FOUND DEAD IN BED.

Charles Baugh Dies Alone in His Room
at the State House.
The remains of Charles Baugh, a boy
about 16 years of age, now lie at the
Morgue. In September last he worked for
some weeks as a bell-boy at the State
House Hotel in this city. 1t appears that
he then went to San Francisco, where for a
time he found employment in the Lick and
Occidental Hotels. On Wednesday last he
returned to Sacramento, went to the State
House and engaged room. He secured
promise of work from the firm of Vein
stock, Lubin & Co. Saturday morning a
messenger from the firm took note to
Baugh, and inquiring at the hotel office
was directed to his room. The messenger
found the door unlocked and walking in
found the boy apparently sleeping. The
note was left on the table and the messen-
ger retired. The day passed. and Baugh
failing to put in an appearance, Charles
Rood, the hotel clerk, went up to Baugh's
room and found him dead. The Coroner
was notified, took charge of the remains
and an inquest will be held to-day. The
last time deceased was seen alive was on
Friday night when to all appearances he
was well and happy. There was nothing
found in the room or among his effects to
indicate suicide. So far as can be learned
he has no relatives in this vicinity.

The Police Commissioners have ordered
the election law enforced on Tuesday by
the closing of the saloons. 1t is a wise
law, and no one ventures to ask its repeal
The Commissioners are to be commended
for their order. Now let them see that il
is enforced ; see to it in person, if need be
and they will deserve the thanks of all
men. Drinking On election day steals
away many mans ballot, and gives il
over to ballot thieves and suffers" Sa.
loon men of the better order all favor this
law and stand by it, and we believe will
aid the Commissioners in forcing all tc
obedience of il.

Lysle's Sentence.

William Lysle appeared before Judge
Buckley, in the Police Court, on Saturday,
to receive his sente.ce for having stolen a
case of surgical instruments from the office
of DR.. G. L. Simmons, Jr., about two weeks
ago. He pleaded guilty to the charge on Fri
day and put in plea to the Court that he was
not accountable for his action because he
was under the influence of liquors, which
had particularly demoralizing effect upon
him on account of injuries he had received
several years ago. The Judge evidently
thought it would be good idea to place
him beyond temptation for while and Or
dered him to pay fine of $40 or remain
seventy days in Jail. He will probably &C
cept the latter alternative for financial rea-
sons.

A Sore disqualification.

EDS RECORD UNIoN: l notice in daily
paper last Saturday that the people of this
city have nominated man for Third
Trustee who chances to be poor man, and
whose name is not on the assessment roll
for real estate. 1t is the first time l ever
heard the idea advanced, by implication
even, that property qualification is neces-
sary in this State for fice-holding. 1t is
easy to hold property when one inherits it,
but very hard for the mechanic who hon
estly tolls for the support of self
and family to speculate in realty. Yes,
Wolf is poor man, and if ii be crime to
be poor he has hosts of supporters who are
criminals to the same degree. He has not
been in politics long enough to have be-
come wealthy by stealth, and therefore
cannot depend on buying his way to pref
erence, but must and does depend upon the
honest, upright, pure minded men of good
repute, of all kinds and callings, to elect
him. Upon their support he rests assured,
and has every confidence that they are in
great majority in this fair and promising
city.
Let voters remember that VOLTS only
disqualification consists in being a poor
man, whose income at his trade has been
required to support his family.
Alas that such man, and he a candi-
date for office at this time, should be
stricken by the hand of poverty, for now
he cannot be bled. A MUGwUMP.

Miss Hattie Ogden and Miss Nellie
Wright were driving through Fourth street
yesterday afternoon, when the horse be-
came unmanagable and dashed wildly
down the street. When near the corner of
L street the buggy collided with small
tree, and both the ladies were thrown out,
but fortunately escaped without serious in
jury. 1t was lucky that the buggy struck
the tree, as moment later it must have
come in contact with an awning-post, and
the conclusion would have been much
greater.
