The proposition made by Messrs. Vein.

STOCKTON, June 15th.-To-day' game be-
tween the Stocktons and Oaklands was q
one-sided affair. The home team won
easily, by a score of 8 to l. The Stocktons
felded perfectly, while the Oaklands played
a rank game, having eight errors to their
discredit.
Baker was at his best, and the Oaklands
found him for only four singles, three be,
ing decidedly " scratchy." The Stocktons
had no difficulty finding Coughlan, and he
was hit safely ten times, Suckney getting q
brace of doubles.
Behan and Selma carried off the honors
for the home team, while Mcdonald ac.
Cepted nine out of ten chances.
Sweeney made his temperance with the
Stocktons, and was enthusiastically cheered
when he stepped to the plate. Sheridan
failed to show up, and Dave Creamor made
very satisfactory substitute as umpire
Following is the score:

CITY Board of Education,

A special meeting of the City Board of
Education was held last evening. The
work of the evening was the revision Of
the rules and regulations and course of
study for the public schools.
There were present President Todd, Sec
retary Beard and Directors Hopley, Martin,
Chapman and SHELTON.
A new departure was taken in the mat
ter of substitute teachers. Heretofore they
have been paid only for the time actually
compensation as the teachers whom they
relieved) and by the action of the Board
last evening it was decided to pay these
substitute teachers at the rate of $25 per
month.
There were several other changes made
in the rules, bat they were of no material
interest to the public.

called before Judge Van Fleet yesterday in
Department Two of the Superior Court on
demurrer. The Court sustained the de-

his petition, the Court ordered the case dis
missed, with the costs assessed to the
plaintiff. The natural supposition is that
an appeal will be taken from the order.

can Old Boy" Goes for the Fossil


EDS. SUNDAY UNION: In your valuable
Sundays issue was an article written by
"Bystander," in which two venerable old
gentlemen were represented as sitting in
the Golden Eagle reading-room deploring
the present condition of our modern young
men. If these old gentlemen would only
reflect they would know that when they
were milking cows, splitting wood and
wearing jeans pants and homemade shirts,
in the country, other young men in the
cities were wearing silk tiles and riding in
hacks, as they do to-day, and the world
still moves.
City-bred young men are not supposed
to milk cows and split rails-it is not an es-
sentisl to their success in life. For ages to
come, young men will still be found in the
country milking COWS and splitting wood,
and coming to the front as Presidents, etc,
but the jeans pants, home made shirts and
rails, are put aside, because modern skill,
ingenuity and enterprise have replaced old
time methods. The two venerable old gen.
tlemen were fossiliferous relics of by-gone
age. Perhaps where Ignorance is bliss,
It's folly to be wise" IAN OLD Boy"

The Old Water-Works Building Con-

Architect Hamilton made an examina-
ton ofthe old Water-works building yes
terday morning, and his report was very
short and to the point. He says the upper
part of the building is really good.sized
lumber yard. The immense timbers sup
porting the tank are ssgged in the center,
and are consequently pressing the walls
outward. In short time the whole thing
must collapse, if the usual weight of water
is kept in the tanks. He says that really the
only thing that is holding the brick together
is large iron bar, and that is becoming
bent. 1t is advised that no more water be
forced into the tank. One of the engineers
of the Water works yesterday said that the
tank would be filled in the evening.

Polite Society.

What is polite society if not polite ?
Polite society aims to give the tone of
manners and to be the very embodi-
lnent of taste. Not to lay down arbi-
trary rules that may last for period,
but to be steady and permanent insti-
tuition. Let us not satirize our polite
society, but study its shortcomings
that we may cure them. What is po-
likeness A skin deep courtesy-a
mere gloss? Would you not like to
live with man who puts it on as a
garment when he walks abroad. Give
me the man who always wears his
MARINERS. Unlike clothes manners are
best mended when they are ON. The
affection of Difference does not impose
un0n for the voice tells the story Of
insincerity or sincerity. Flattery is
not polite, though | have seen people
who were drunk and reeling from the
poison of this drug Of flattery, In good
society I believe that is less and less
fashionable to flavor conversation with
fattery. Would | could say detrac-
ton was becoming less fashionable |!
The love recognition and distinction
in a growing generation makes its
members envious of the already won
place and distinction of their elders.
Let the elders say to the young do
not try to undervalue each other. :"
There is praise enough for everybody.

cut it out of the work of others" |
have seen in polite society great and
horrible maliginity-words that were
stabs, epithets that were poison.

Be Careful What You Say,

In speaking of persons faults,
Pray don't forget your own
Remember, those with homes Of glass
Should seldom throw stone;
If we have nothing else to do
But talk about those who sin,
It's better we commence al home,
And from that point begin.
We have no right TO Judge man
Until he's fairly tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide
Some may have faults-and who have not
The old as well as young;
Perhaps we may, for aught we know
Have fifty to their one.
I'll tell you OF better plan,
And find it works full well;
try my own defects to cure
Before Of Others tell;
And though 1 sometimes hope to be
No worse than some know,
My own shortcomings bid me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all, when we commence
To SANDER friend or foe,
Think Of the harm one word may do
To those we little know;
Remember, curses sometimes, like
Our chickens 'roost at home"
Don't speak Of others faults until
We have none of our own.
