YOLO JUSTICE.
A Forger Escapes States Prison by Pa,
ing $3.50.


Some weeks ago young man bilked
a number of Sacramentans, among others
the Secretary of the Y oung Mems Christ
ian Association in this city. He forged
check in Yolo, came to this city and was
arrested. 1t appears that crime can be
compromised in Yolo, as the following
from the Nail of yesterday plainly shows ::
The case of w. T. Hutchins was dis
missed in the Superior Court yesterday,
upon motion of the prosecution. The
crime for which Hutchins was arrested was
forging a check which was cashed by
Woodland bank. Z. G. Gilbert identified
Hutchlns at the bank and caused his arrest
upon learning that the check was forgery.
Mr. Gilbert reduced the charge to mis-
demeanor in order to allow Hutchins to
compromise the matter, asking a bonus of
$3.50 (or double the amount of the check
as basis of compromise. The arrest was
made over four months ago, but time has
been necessary to enable the prisoner to ar
range matters so as to satisfy the claim OF
Mr.. Gilbert, who availed himself of the
opportunity to make the unfortunate pris-
oner pay literally for his release or be pun
ished for serious charge. We feel conf
dent that Mr.. Hutchins is delighted over
his narrow escape from San Quentin, and
equally certain that Mr.. Gilbert is morally,
physically and financially soothed by the
neat, snug sum which he places in his
purse for compromising a felony but as
1olo county has to pay the expense of
keeping Mr.. Hutchins the time he was in
Jail, MIR. Gilbert ought to make some kind

Ash Wednesday.

To-day is Ash Wednesday. 1t is so called
because Of the ancient Roman Catholic
custom of appearing in chulch on that day
with ashes strewn on the head as q sign of
penitence. This day is the beginning of
the LenteH season, fasting time of forty
days, not counting Sundays. before Easter,
which falls on April 1st this year. This is
observed by several churches, among which
are the Ron an Catholic and Protestant
Episcopal Churches. The fast is commemo-
ratiye of our Lords fast during His temp
tation in the wilderness.
Archbishop Riordan has issued Lenten
regulations for his diocese, which per-
NIT Thy dispensation granted for ten
years, commencing on August Sd last,
flesh meat at the principal meal on all DAYS
except Wednesdays, Fridays, Ember Sat
urdays and the Saturday of Holy Week.
Bread fruits, vegetables and fish may be
eaten at the collation., and by ten years
dispensation GRANTED on February 8, 1857,
butter, cheese, milk and eggs. Lard NAV
be used in preparing food at any time
When the principal meal cannot be taken
at midday, it may be taken in the evening
and the collationin the morning. Persons
under q or over 60 years of age need not
fast people engaged in hard labor, the sick
and the convalescent and those whom fast
ing would injure in health are also exempt.
They may eat flesh meat more than once on
the days permitted. All days except Sundays
are fast days of obligation on one meal.
But flesh meat and fish at the same meal
are prohibited, even on Sunday. The time
for fulfilling the precept at Eastern COM
munion extends in the Archdiocese from
| the first Sunday of Lent to the end CT the
Octave of Pentecost. The Rectors of the
diocese are requested to have Lenten devo-
tons in their churches on Wednesday, Fri
day and Sunday evenings of each week.
Those who have any reasonable doubt as to
their obligation to fast or abstain should
consult their contessor.

CALIFORNIA HOPS.
Middle Men Pocket All the Profits and
the Producer Gets Left.

Middle Men Pocket All the Profits and
the Producer Gets Left.
A. Menke, the most extensive hop
grower in California, whose yards are on
the bottom lands of the American river
in this county has returned from the East,
where he disposed of his crop to excellent
advantage. He says the consumers in the
East were glad to meet him, glad to be able
to deal directly with the producer and
cheat the middleman out of his commits
sions. These middlemen," remarked
Mr.. Menke, "get away with all the
profits. Pacifics are quoted in the East
at from II to Ii cents. A letter dated New
York, February Sth, received in this CITY
yesterday, says:
There is but little change to note in
this market since our last. Exports have
somewhat increased, while imports have
fallen off. The receipts from the interior
also show considerable decrease indicat-
ing less business doing in the country.
Importers say that but few more German
hops will come here this season unless
something happens to cause an advance in
our prices. England at present is bidding
more for them than we are, and this diverts
the trade. Considerable quantities of old
hops are changing hands. Some are
bought by spectators to be held by them
against the contingency of failure in the
next crop, while others are being secured
to send to the Waterville establishment to
be turned into extract. The movement is
chiefly in 1855, for which three and four
cents per pound is paid. At these ex-
tremely low figures there certainly cannot
be much risk on the part of buyers.
" Pacifics are in demand, but as BUYERS
do not seem willing to meet the views of
holders the business is restricted. We
think these hops ought to meet with more
favor anG bring better prices than are now
current in view of the scarcity of choice
States but our brewers seem thoroughly
imbued with the idea that States serve
their purpose better than Pacifcs, even
though the latter makes the finest looking
sample.
"a lively export demand with more will
ingness on the part of shippers to take up
the second grade, would tend to help the
general market but we presume the fact
is that as the London market is already
overloaded with this class of goods it would
be too risky at this time to extend the
business

TEACHERS READING CIRCLES.
A County Organization, and Local Circle
in Sacramento and Elk Grove

A County Organization, and Local Circles
in Sacramento and Elk Grove.
At the County Institute held in this
coun Y IN November last Teachers Read
ing Circle was formed under the constitu-
ton prescribed by the State Teachers Read
ing Circle. Nearly eighty members have
been enrolled, and some of which at least
display a considerable enthusiasm. The
movement has grown out OF conscious
ness on the part of many prominent teach
ers that English has been wofully neg
lected in the past, and that in the require
ments for teachers certificate it has not
been assigned any place commensurate
with its importance. 1t is, however, be-
ginning to be realized more and more that
no matter how high a percentage candi-
date makes in arithmetic spelling, gram
mar, history, geography, ETC., unless he is
in some degree at least conversant with the
literature of his mother tongue, he lacks
the most essential qualification of a
teacher.
1t is further felt that the wearing char
acter of the teachers duties, and the large
amount OF work he must necessarily do
out of school hours, with his somewhat
isolated condition, in rural districts espe-
cially, combine to prevent systematic study
Tor his own improvement
1t has been determined, therefore. to
have outlined course of study or reading
that will combine literary, historical and
psychological research, in which all teach
ers may join. In some places last year
number who are not teachers Joined the
local circle for the sake of mental i'm
provement.
The Circle of this county fully organized
on January 18th, at meeting held in the
Sacramento High School. A local Circle
has been formed at Elk Grove, and an
other, which meets fortnightly, in Sacra-
mento. The County Circle meets once
month to review what has been read in the
local Circles, or individually, during the
month. The second regular meeting of
the County Circle was held last Saturday in
the High School, where all its meetings
are held. Though very few were present
from this city there were several
from the country, especially from Elk
Grove. Those present were both interested
and profted. The life of Pericles and that
of Fabius Maximas were discussed. and
several essays and addresses were given.
One gentleman from the country remarked
that the reading so far was great help in
the usual work of the school-room. All
present seemed to agree on this point.
The next meetingof the local Circle will
be held in the High School building on
Monday, February Dist, at Z P NJ, when
the life of Demosthenes, the great Athenian
orator, will be taken up. Then will follow
the life of Cicero. Both of these lives will
be discussed at the regular monthly meet
ing to be held on March 10th.

stature. He was roughly dressed and bore
the appearance of a laboring man. His
cheeks were considerably sunken, of very
sallow complexion, and his chin was COW

is known to be an Englishman, about 50
years old. He was last seen alive about
O'Clock Monday evening. in the vicinity of
the cabin in which he died. He is lately

found on him to lead to his identity. An
inquest was held on the remains, and the
jury returned a verdict in accordance with

Mrs. Stanford and the Orphans.

When Senator and Mrs. Stanford passed
through Sacramento last fall en- route to
Washington, Mrs. Stanford inquired with
much interest concerning the inmates OF
the Orphan Asylum, and desired to be in
formed if anything was lacking for their
comfort. The donation received from her
few days since by the Directors of the
Asylum testities to the warm sincerity OF
her inquiries, and the following letter,
which has just been received by the Secre-
tary of the Board, further evinces her love
for extending relief to such unfortunate
little ones:

- Home Again. ~

Yesterday morning B. r. Crocker, who
has been suffering at Los Angeles for the
past month from broken limb, caused by
the smashup of buggy, arrived in this
city. having been transported from Los
Angeles in the Directors car. DR.. G. L.
Simmons met Mr.. Crocker at the depot,
and blankets having been secured, the pa
tent was conveyed TO a wagon and thence
TO his home. Though he is not well yet
Mr.. CrOcker is in excellent spirits and as
jolly as ever. Everybody was anxious to
assist in carrying the patient to the wagon,
and in the roars of laughter which Mr.
Croker provoked by his sayings. some Of
the men almost forgot what they were do
ing, and came near dropping him. AS he
was taken from the car he said: I'm
glad to get back in Gods country once
more" He is thoroughly cured of the Los
Angeles fever, and would not live in that
section if they would give him the entire
southern portion of the State.

A MURDERoUs MILKMAN.-A young man
named Ed. Graham appeared at the Sher-
ifs Office yesterday afternoon and desired
to have warrant issued for the arrest of
Fred. Slack, his employer. whom he
charges with assault with deadly weapon.
The trouble arose by Slack ordering Ora
ham to do some chores in the COW stable
The latter was smoking at the time and re-
piled that he would attend to the work as
soon as he had finished smoking. This an
gered Slack, and seizing heavy iron pipe,
struck Graham on the head three times,
knocking him insensible and causing sew
eral very severe if not dangerous wounds

Slack discarded the pipe for cudgel and
dealt him several blows as he lay upon the
ground. He was referred with his trouble
to the District Attorney. Slack will prob
ably be arrested for assault with a deadly
weapon.
