EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN Well, we did it
We did think we wouldn't when the
psalm-singers got after US. We really did
think for a minute that Alcatraz was
Plymouth Rock and this God-forsaken
country was settled by men who believed
in religious liberty. We came within one
of admitting that the shifting church
goers had as good right to the unbroken
quiet OF the Sabbath as we had to let bed
nerves. We were fools enough
to listen for moment to the
respectable minority and their senseless
twaddle about Remember the Sabbath
day, TO keep it holy!' But what do we
care for the respectable minority If the
psalm singers want quiet Sabbath let 'em
get out into the wilderness and make one?
This is California-the land of the free and
the home of the brave excursioner, and if
the psalm-singers don't like it let 'em go
south and rub noses with the praying
drove from New England. Pasadena re-
members the Sabbath day let 'em fill her
up with Sunday lovers and give US a chance
to whoop 'er up" from gin-sling at the
Tivoli in Sacramento, to lemon punch on
the third base in Chico. "'Rah f liberty ?
Tell the psalm-singing immigrants to keep
right on to Southern California we're GO
ing TO paint 'em red in this neighborhood,
respectable minorities to the contrary not
outstanding, and don't you forget it!
LIBERTY.
P.S. Yes, LIBERTY That's who / am;
MY liberty. If the minority want liberty
let EN- go where they can get it

CIunIe Opera House.

Mrs. James Brown Potter, supported by
Kyrle Bellew, from Wallacks Theater
New York, is announced to appear Wed
nesday and Thursday next in " The Lady
of Lyons" and " Romeo and Juliet" Mrs.
Potter since her adoption Of the stage has
greatly divided the critics in opinion as to
her ability. In San Francisco at first they
were DISPOSED to speak of her as without
originality or genius for dramatic art.
Before her engagement closed she had
critical advocates who found her method to
be original and her art to disclose not only
merit, but genius. The Sacramento public
will now have an opportunity to Judge for
itself. The opinion of the New York Her
aid is thus expressed: There is this merit
in Mrs. Potter's work, that she succeeds in
arousing an interest beyond that which
her beauty creates The ear as we'll as the
eye is delighted. Beautiful face and figure,
willowy, moving with a gracious presence,
and blessed with a sweet voice and a
charming enunciation, Mrs. Potter brings
rare natural gifts to the stage"

Odd Fellows, Picnic.

The Odd Fellows picnic at Cothrin's
Grove, On Saturday, was decided success.
The train of seventeen coaches and one
baggage-car was drawn by two locomotives,
started at $50 and reached the grounds at
l0;40 o'clock. There are no finer grounds
IN the State Tor picnic purposes than this
grove. 1t is a gently slipping hillside with
numerous little gullies or ravines, free
from brush or poison-oak, well grassed
and shaded with hundreds of large wide
spreading white oaks. No matter how
large the picnic there are plenty of trees for
every picknicker. The First Artillery
Band furnished music for dancing, which
was the principal feature of the day. A
number of shotgun sharps contested for
the prizes at clay pigeon shooting. Several
large footballs furnished no end of amuse-
ment. The High Scool nine and nine
from Bainbridge College contested for the
prize offered by the society. The Balm
bridge nine won by score of II to 6
Uncle John Douglas, the man who has
sent up more balloons on this coast than
any other, was on hand and sen up several
paper bags of colored paper. Uncle John
expected to make something out of his
venture. After deiighting the many hum
o1Feds for an hour or more he took up a
vdAlection and got just ten cents. He says

and the support is the same given in San
Francisco. The piece is represented as a
sparkling medley, that keeps the audience
in a constant roar of laughter. 1t intro
duces a bevy of beautiful women, a corps
OF low comedians, Of whom Morris is chief.
The entertainment in San Francisco was a
long success, and the press generally adj
mits the play TO be wonderfully mirthl

Had mFIies ON Him -

A well-known citizen tells a very good
story on himself. A week or so ago he was
reading aloud in his home a newspaper
item in which occurred the somewhat
slangy but oftentimes trite expression,
there are no flies on him" Some DAYS
afterward he was seated on his porch enjoy
ing his post-prandial cigar, when mis- five
year-old daughter approached, and with
the gravest expression possible but a
roguish twinkle in her eye, remarked, as
she pointed to his knee, on which group
of flies had congregated why, papa
there are flies on you!" Paterfamilias saw
the pungency of the joke, and at once arose
and set about preparing the kindling-wood
for the next morning, while the juvenile
joker scampered off laughing at his dis
comfiture.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
THE OPENING GAME.

The Clevelands Win am Exciting Contest
from the Atlas.
Yesterday was a gala day for ball playing
and over thousand people gathered at the
Park to pass away the afternoon. About
hslf-past 1, headed by the band, both clubs
marched from the dressing room into the
field, halted and the Cleyelands took the
naries they made q number of remarkable
plays, which brought forth shouts from the
audience. Their suit is one of the prettiest
and neatest ever seen on a diamond. At
distance it had a faint tinge of blue, but on
inspection proved to be white, with narrow
blue stripes. The cap is of sky blue
color and the stockings dark navy-blue-
altogether making a handsome combina-
ton. The Atlas suits are also very pref
ty, being of dark material trimmed in
cardinal.
The visitors won the toss and sent the
Atlas to the bat. One run was made by
the Atlas in the first inning, one in the
second, two in the third and four in the
eighth. Sayers played good game and hit
the ball pretty lively every time. McLaugh-
lin and Barry did good work, but some
how the Cleyelands hit the latter harder
than was expected. Warren, Baker, Ahern
and Bidwell accepted everything that came
near. Fisher batted unusually well, but
missed several flys, but the sun being in
his face had no doubt something to do
with his errors. Robertson was almost
too sure of himself and made three err
rors which could hardly be termed excus-
able. He made q three-bagger, however.
For the Clevelands, Redman PLAYED an
excellent game, and the way he hit the
ball showed that he has sharp eve for
gauging it. The rest of the nine all did
good work, and they work together in good
shape. Two of their men-W. Stultz
and Kitchen-are credited with three
baggers. They made their runs in the
first, second, fifth, sixth and ninth innings.
In addition, it may be said that better lot of
base-runners than those composing their
nine would be hard to find. They spin
around bases as though they were fright
ened, and to this fact they can well at
tribute number of their runs.
The spectators were decidedly partial to
the visitors, and every good play was duly
noticed. At the last the game grew very
exciting, and at the first half of the ninth
inning the score stood 8 to in favor of the
Atlas. The Clevelands then came to the
bat, and the first three men succeeded in
reaching the initial, making all the bases
full. Barry then "braced up" and famed"
the next two batters in pretty manner.
Kitchen then stepped up and "Waftedn
twice at the ball, but, alas the next ball
pitched was knocked hard into right field,
and three men came trotting over the plate
and the game came to close The follow
ing Is the score

Too Inquisitive.

Mention was made on Saturday of the
arrest of II. NJ. Landes by United State Of
ficers, assisted by police officer Farrell. II
seems that Landes became acquainted with
an estimable young lady of this city several
months ago and fell, it seems, desperately
in love. He found out that the young lady
was corresponding with party in the East,
and in order to got at the bottom facts he
offered to bribe the letter carrier to deliver
to him the letters addressed to the young
lady. The mail carrier informed the Post
master of Landes proposition, and the lat
ter put up a job to catch Landes, which
worked well and landed him in jail. A let
ter was written on a typewriter, 81 in cur
rency inclosed, registered and addressed to
the young lady. This letter vas delivered
to Landes by the carrier According TO
agreement, he returned the letter to the
mail carrier that night, when the officers
arrested him. He had replaced the letter
with another, but had returned the So He
is out on bail and claims that he is the vic
tim of deep-laid plot

Says He Was Robbed.

W. F. Burton, man about fifty years of
age, appeared at the station-house yester-
day afternoon and reported that he had
been robbed of 5000. His story is that he
was lying on the bank of the river, on the
Yolo side, reading the ArgonaH, when he
fell asleep. On awakening he found that
he had been robbed of three twenty-dollar
gold pieces, seven twenty-dollar green
backs, his pension papers and two blankets
marked "U. S." He said he did not care
anything about the money, but would like
to recover his pension papers. He had
never drawn pension and did not intend
to unless he should absolutely need the
money, as his father told him never to
apply for pension unless it was necessary.
The police have some doubts about his
story
