BASEBALL GOSSIP.

"A Chance tor George Borchers-Pros-
poets for the Next Season.
1t is stated upon good authority that if
George Borchers, the whilom efficient Sac
ramento baseball pitcher, continues in his
good behavior that the several blacklists
against him will be removed and that he
will be seen next season in the box for the
Sacramentos.
Burke will probably give way to Phil.
knell, the new pitcher signed by the Sac
ramentos. Gagus will guard second base
hereafter, where he can captain the nine to
better advantage.
While in San Francisco the other day,
Manager Gleason of the Sacramentos, in
conversation with an Examiner reporter,
said, when asked what truth there was
in the report that Sacramento had bought
ONeill and Smalley of the Oaklands, that
there was nothing in it. Sacramento had
made no offer for 0'Neill, as they had no
use for him-they had better man play
ing shortstop than O'Neill.
Mr.. Gleason stated also that no offer had
been made Colonel T. ?. Robinson to man.
age the Sacramento Club next season. He
was positive that Mr.. Robinson would
have no connection whatever with the
Capital City team. He could not under
stand how the report had originated.
will Sacramento have a team in the
league next season p was asked.
Yes, sir; and a good one" was the
prompt answer. Sacramento is a good
ball town, and next year, taking advantage
OF the experience gained this season, we
will put club in the field that will more
than hold its own"

young people to produce a melodrama in
aid of a fund for the benefit of the be-
nighted heather. One act presents rear
view of a,stsge with supposed audience
beyond the frantic stage manager endeay-
oring TO whip amateur effort into pasasble
actirg. The result is a series of incidents
of the most ludicrous character Miss Nc
Henry will be remembered as the shining
light of Salsbury's "Troubadours She is
full of animal spirit, witty, ready, and her
laugh is contagious. Her recent engage
ment in San Francisco extended to four
weeks, and was one of remarkable success
and exceeded that when Miss McHenry
appeared in THE Brook" in which she
won 80 much attention. The piecs is full
of action well supplied with sparkling
music and has received from the San Fran
cisco and New York press the designation
of the most precious bit of nonsense and
wit of the day" The box-sheet opens this
morning, the prices for seats being so and
70 cents. Friday evening will be played

Discreet Silence.

AlekSa'S Would-be Assassin Maintains
Discreet Silence.
Sheriff McMullen yesterday went out to
the vicinity of the Jewish Cemetery, to see
what he could learn in regard to the al
legged attempt to kill G. Aleksa on Satur-
day night, full account of which was
published in the RECORD UNION the follow
ing morning. A reporter of this paper
called on the Sheriff in the afternoon, and
the latter stated that he went to the house
of A. Pagni, the Italian whose alleged
cruel treatment of his aged mother had
aroused such deep indignation among those
of his neghbors (including Aleksa) as were
aware of the facts, and was told by Mrs.
Pagni that her husband was in bed at the
hour the shooting commenced.
Sheriff McMullen also said he was shown
pistol that Pagni kept in the house,
which had two empty chambers. The
number of shots fred at Aleksa was three,
and these facts impressed the Sheriff with
the idea that the shooting was not done by
Pagni.
The officer said he interviewed three or
four parties out that way, and one of them
went so far as to advance the opinion that
Aleksa himself fred the shots which the
latter says came from ambush on Sunday
night. This opinion, from one who knows
nothing of the occurrence, certainly is not
worth much.
Aleksa visited the Chief of Policies office
within an hour after the shooting and ex-
hibited his perforated coat. the condition of
which showed plainly that he could not
himself have done the shooting. There
was not the least sign of powder-marks
upon it, and the freshly.made hole was ex-
actly such as would have resulted from the
passage through it of pistol bullet of % or
80 caliber. Had Aleksa himself fred
the shot through his coat while the
garment was on his person, the charge
from the pistol would have set fire to it.
Had he hung it on fence and shot at it
ION dark night far enough away TO pre-
vent its showing powder marks, he could
not have sent the bullet through the very
front edge of the coat just where shot
would have missed his person if the coat
were on him at the time of the passage of
the bullet
The effort to show that Aleksa did the
shooting is too absurd for a moments con-
sideration. The fact is apparent that
cowardly attempt was made to assassinate
Mr.. Aleksa, but of course it is difficult
matter to determine who the murderous
miscreant was, and his identity may never
be discovered.

AFTER THE VANDALS.
Some Active Work Being Taken Against
the Game Destroyers,

Some Active Work Being Taken Against
the Game Destroyers.
There is now fair prospect that the
vandals who have been destroying the
wild game of the State will have to look
for some other means of making a liveli-
hood. Having heard that large number
of pot-huntere were engaged in trapping
quail in Maria county, Deputy Game Com
missioner Fred P. Callundan paid that Sec
ton visit on Saturday last. During his
trip through the country he discovered
twenty "fgure-four' traps, which had been
laid for trapping quail, and destroyed them
all. Many OF them contained quail, which
he liberated. The custom of these pot
hunters is to trap the quail in this manner,
and then, placing them in bag hung to a
tree or some convenient place, fire into
them with charge of shot, so that when
examined they would seem to have been
legally slain.
The Fish and Game Commissioners have
filed complaint against the Donahue
Railroad Company for transporting deer
hides that do not show the sexes of the car
cases from which they were taken. This
is good beginning. and now if the Com
mission will only send detectives among
the hide warehouses, it will find thousands
more of like skins. The fact has been often
published, but no investigation has ever
been reported.

a WORD OF CAUTION.

IN this as in every other locality where it is
known, there are hundreds who arc taking
joys Vegetable sarsaparilla, and in nine
cases out Of every ten it is effecting specific
cures. But word comes to US occasionally of
people who report that it operates too freely
upon the bowels We want 20 say to those
that they arc not following the printed in
structions and are taking too much of it. If
1t acts too freely reduce the dose, never tax
ing any more than causes easy and perfect
action. Keep this in mind, and take it reg
ularly for while and do not indulge in too
much greasy food, and we will have YOUR
testimonial within a fortnight. If taken un-
der these conditions it is an absolute cure for
indigestion, dyspepsia, sick headaches, con
slpat1on, face eruptions and liver and kid
ney disorders. 1t may be asked how it can
possibly cure SO many ailments. But the
reason is clear. All those troubles are the
legitimate result of improper liver and kid
ney action or impaired digestive organs. Its
effects upon these functions are as astonish-
ing to the medical fraternity as to the thou.
sands who are daily taking it.

Kennedy and His "Gun.,

About half-past 10 o'clock last night Of
iicers Carroll and Campbell were attracted
to Front and J streets by the report of a
pistol. They found, on investigating the
matter, that the shot was fred in front OF
the notorious California House. Here they
found a. one-legged cripple named James
Kennedy with hot and smoking pistol in
his posses sion, and placed him under ar
rest.
Kennedy was pretty drunk. He had been
eJected from the house, and by way of re,
taiiAt;on pulled his gun and fred shot
through the glass door. Whether he in
tended to shoot high, or whether he was
too drunk to take good aim, is not known,
but the shot struck about eight feet above
the sidewalk.
Kennedy seemed to think he had done
a very funny thing, but will probably
change his mind by the time the Police
Court gets through with him,

Why of course do. The agent OF yeast

supposed that they would honor the draft.
Judge Buckley took the case under ad-
