A Sensible Driver.

The genius who pilots the light delivery
wagon for Curtis Bros market is evidently
man of sense. His team baked on Third
street on Saturday, and instead of the
whips, lashing, pushing, STRENGTHENING,
ETC., usually employed on such occasions,
the driver got the horses heads near
post, tied them securely, and las nearly as
he could do SOY gave them to understand
that he would not let them go. even if they
wanted to. He went out of sight a few
moments, came back, unhitched his horses
and got on his wagon again. The result
was that they went off like shot at the
command TO CO.

THE DEAD PAST.
A Centenary Celebration Meeting That
Did Not Materialize.


Did Not Materialize.
The adjourned meeting which was to
have been held at the Court house on
Saturday evening to make arrangements
for the celebration Of the Washington Cen
tenary did not materialize. One solitary
citizen only was present, and as he came to
the conclusion that, unaided, he could not
carry on the meeting nor arrange pro-
gramme with credit to himself and the
citizens of Sacramento, he sadly wended
his way home meditating how little the
people nowadays cared about poor G. w.
and his inauguration of a hundred years
ago. Such is fame. The citizen in ques-
ton adjourned himself land the meeIing)
to meet at the same time and place in 1889,
when it is hoped he will be able to get a
quorum present and celebrate IN q fitting
manner the two-hundredth anniversary of
the inauguration of the Father OF His
Country, and that the little Ratchet will be
conspicuous in the procession.

AT STOCKTON.
The Slough City Team Rskes Down Its
Third Successive Persimmon.


The Stocktons took game from Oakland
yesterday on the formers grounds. by a
score of to ., making three straight.
The playing was sharp from the start, but
the Stocktons outplayed their opponents at
every point. Baker and Fudger were the
opposing pitchers, and only two hits were
made of Baker, but he sent ten men to
first on balls, and struck out five. Fudger
was sized for eight hits, two being triples.
In the first, a base on balls, a hit, steal
and an error allowed Sweeney to score.
In the third Fudger scored having been
sent to first on balls and getting around on
a steal, a sacrifice and Whitehead's error.
In the sixth a base on balls, steal and hi
gave Stickney run. In the seventh the
Oaklands evened up the score, Roberts
hitting for two bags. taking third on a fly,
and scoring On Fairhurst's error.
The eighth was an exciting inning, and
melted the Stocktons two runs. Selma hit
Tor three bags and came home on Behan's
hit. Behan went to third on Stickney's
out, and slid home on passed ball.
In the ninth, with two men out, Fair
hurst was safe on Cahill's error. Hunolfs
triple brought FaIrhurst home, and HUI
not scored on Selna's single.
Roberts played good game on second,
and made the only two hits accredited to
his nine. Howard and Hardie made neat
running catches, and Whitehead brought
down the grand stand with lightning one
handed pickup.
THE GAME ON SATURDAY.
The aforementioned clubs PLAYED on
Saturday at the Haight-stre grounds in
San Francisco, the Stocktons winning bv a
score of 10 TO s. The Oaklands played an
uphill game from the start, at the close OF
the fourth inning the score standing to .
in favor of the champions. The black
stockings braced up, however, and tied the
score in the eighth inning amid great cheer
ing. The heavy hitters OF Stockton were
billed for the ninth and aided by base
obtained through Coughlin hitting Behan,
they scored two runs.

Coll ars and Cuffs.

Early last season it was very freely
rumored in society and in the lobbies of
parliament that the queen had grown
tired of finding pocket money for young
Prince Albert Victor OF Wales, popu-
larly known as collars and Cuffs, and
that in consequence her maJeSty'S loyal
commons would be called upon to make
provision for the young mans needs on
a scale BETTING his position as the eld-
est son of the heir apparent to the
throne of the British empire. Instantly
the Radicals were up in arms; public
meetings were held, and some newspa-
pers dared to hint that the most seemly
and natural course would be for Queen
Victoria, as head Of the family, to pro-
vide for it's impecunious scionS by draw
ing upon her boarded millions.
The government, remembering the
long and acrimonious debates over the
last grant-that to Princess Beatrice
upon her marriage to Prince Henry OF
Battenberg-bent before the storm and
delegated Viscount Cross, the queens
favOrite minister, to inform her majesty
that the time was not prOpitlouS. The
queen stormed and vowed her will
should be done. The government stood
firm, aud finally compromise was eff
fected whereby the house of commons
was not called upon to vote any money
just then, but the whole question OF
grants to members of the royal family
was referred to a select committee, OF;
which Mr.. Gladstone is member.
The fight, however. has been only
postponed, and it is practically certain
that battle royal will be fought next
session when the committee shall pre-
sent its report.
Meanwhile Prince Albert Victor is
trying to exc out living on couple of
thousands a year allowed him by his
father, and about as much which is
grudglngly doled out quarterly by his
parsimonious grandmother.

ONE OF CRANES ANECDOTES.
An Incident That Proved Both
Gratifying and Amusing.

"Some of us are accused of manner

William Crane recently in an inter-
view, ''but at the door of no comedian
who ever won name for himself could
such charge be rightly laid. l trust

went below, wondering what he had
done to merit punishment.

A low, but blood-curding moan came
from underneath his chair, and the
sentence was never concluded.
His Honor sprang up, seized his hat,
and ran from the court room. AS he
reached the door hooking voice began
to sing, "Rock-a-by, baby" and then
weird laughs rent the air.
In the afternoon some one told the
court that Goldstein was ventriloquist,
and that he had caused all the trouble.
As sequel, it may be added that Sig

days.
This was not due to the fact that he
slept in a hallway.

the position of empress of Austria.
When the time for the marriage drew
near the young Emperor Francis Joseph
visited the duke that he might make the
acquaintance of his future wife. He
admired Caroline, but fell in love with
her younger sister Elizabeth, a madcap
child, who passed her days on horse
back, securing the country.
Ministers argued and courtlers re-
monstrated, but the young emperor per-
sisted in preferring the wild child. and
refused to see that her sister was much
better fitted than she to be his empress.
A few months later the child, for she
was but little more than sixteen years
old, entered Vienna as empress OF Aus
tria.
For more than thirty years she has
occupied that position. but her happleSt
hours have been those in which she mas

writer from whose article in the Corn

have chosen one who regards court
ball as penance, and state ceremony
as a thing scarcely to be lived through"

The Dance of a Princess.

A letter from Tiflis gives interesting
details of the time the Russian emperor
had been having among the Georgian
noblemen. The mobiles organized a
grand ball at their club house on the
Gulovinski prospect, and it is this ball
which the correspondent attended, and
of which he writes most at length as
follows:
1t seems that the costumes of the men
are marvels of outlandish brilliancy.
and the men themselves are very fine !;
but the women, with few exceptions,
are uninteresting. One of the eXcep-
lions, however, was very marked. She
was Princess Eristoff, who appeared in
the costume of the country and danced
before the emperor dance which is
very famous out there, and which they
call the Lesghinka.

Minor Gossip.

The Empress Frederick is collecting
all the obituary notices of her husband.

and from France 1000.

Ter she was welcomed by Russian Off
GERS in behalf of the car and czarina.
At the various towns at which she
stopped the local officials presented
bread and salt, expressing at the same
time the hope that she might reaScend
the throne.
Princess Helene, third child of the
count of Paris, is likely TO be married to
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia. She wa
born in England seventeen years ago,
and has very sweet face and lovely
'lily-white'' complexion. She is tall,
holds herself well, and dresses very
simply, but looks more like all unaf-
fected school girl of fifteen than
young woman approaching eighteen.
A committee of Berlin ladies recently
presented the Empress Victoria Angus
ia with white silk apron, on which
the names of the empress five young
sons were worked. The empress, in ac-
knowledging the gift, said that she was
honored by the present, for an apron
was always the symbol of the true Ger
man housewife. And then, putting the
apron on, she said very simply: My
husband desires me always to wear an
apron. He says it looks more hOmely."
A good story is told at the expense OF
Princess Bismark. The other day she
went to Hamburg to make her custom
airy household purchases, which she
never allows anybody else to attend to.
Unfortunately she missed her train to
FREDERICKSBURG, and as there was no
other train for two hours she told her
cOachman to drive her through the DIS
trict of the free port. On returning in
to the town she was stopped by Gus

on every one of the articles she had
purchased, and refused to let her pro-

the porter again and asked:
"What time does the train reach

"Three minutes past s. sir.''

This concluded the interview. The
porter walked away and the elderly
gentleman sat down; but he didn't
seem to feel easy. He glared at the pas
senger across the aisle, then he took Off
his Overcoat, sat down and commenced
reading the evening paper, but threw it
aside almost Immediately, and rising
again walked gloomily to the back end
of the car and looked out OF the will

and sat there Sullenly until the porter
came that way again. when he said:

business the elderly man took up his
newspaper again. He seemed to feel
more cOntented after that.
