A DISGUISED TRAMP.

on the Wrong Man.
A seedy, unkempt sort of fellow yester-
day rolled into the store of J-street mer-
chant Whose name might be Simpkins,
but it isn't) and approached the senior
member of the firm, who was, as usual,
very busy.
Mister" said he, will you please give
me dime to get something to eat?"
Simpkins cast hurried glance at the
fellow and concluded that he wasn't one of
the kind who squander their dimes on
eatables, and replied that he had nothing
for him.
But, sir, said the visitor with dole
full air, Pm nearly starved; you wouldn't
refuse man the price of cup of coffee
and doughnut ?"
You're positive it's coffee and dough-
nuts you want?' asked the merchant.
That's what l haven't eaten bite of

'All right; here's dime. Now be sure
you don't 90 and spend 1t for whisky"
and the man of business passed over the
bit of coin to his seedy-looking visitor.
The latter went out and down to Third
street, which he crossed to the south side
and then turned up toward the nearest sa-
loon, which he entered. Simpkins had
been watching him, and slipping out of the
store went to the side entrance of the saloon
and got in just as the hungry man had
poured out about four fingers of whisky.
He raised his chin to loosen his shirt collar
the better to enjoy his drink-when
Simpkins slipped noiselessly up behind
him and 'muzzled' the glass.
Here's to your good health he re-
marked, as the astonished tramp turned 10

The tramp saw his blunder and made

ADJUSTMENTS.

AT the Sixth-street NJ E. Church last
evening, "The Jinglers," troupe of six
colored jubilee singers, gave concert for
the benefit of the Fourteenth-street Presbv-
terrain Church. When the inclemency of
the weather is taken into account the at
tendance was large. There were twenty
numbers upon the programme, of these
fourteen were encored and repeated. which
will give some idea of the reception the
company received. The troupe believes
certainly in volume of tone and it sings
with remarkable energy and vigor. The
basso, Valley has remarkably strong and
resonant voice. and the range of the tenor
voice, Conley, is exceedingly broad and
does not lapse into falsetto Miss Haw-
kins' is meZzo-sopr6no and sweet voice;
that of the contralto, Miss CHM, is so very
strong that its vigor should be restrained
especially in duos The troupe is heard at
its best in concerted pieces as sextet, the
voices harmonizing happily. The jubilee
choruses were by far the best of the pro-
gramme and the audience manifested its
satisfaction with them Enthusiastically. The
final concert will be given this evening for
the same worthy end az that of last night.
There will be an entire change of pro-
gramme. But there is general desire that
W aIleY VIII repeat us OOnt reel NO

very close to realization of the revival
fervor of the plantation camp-meetings
in the cruel slavery days."

relief Of distressed families of the G. A. R.

4 Good Man Gone.

Samuel NJ. Hoover, pioneer resident OF
Sacramento county, whose farm is a short
distance beyond Elk Grove, died yesterday
forenoon at his home on the Costumes
river. Mr.. Hoover was a native of Penn
sylvania and aged sixty-two years. He
leaves a widow and one adult sou. Mr.
Hoover was one of the best known farmers
of the county, and was highly esteemed in
this community. He was a sturdy, ener-
getie and pushing man-just and kind,
abhoring sloth, and believing that in labor
and the output of energy man finds truest
enjoyment. He had a delightful home,
which was known throughout the county
for its tranquility, its generous board and
the open handed generosity of himself and
wife. He will be lamented sir erely by a host
of friends who knew him only to respect
him. Mr.. Hoover, with his wife, crossed
the plains from Pennsylvania to California
in 1850, and settled at once in Sacramento,
where he engaged III business, and was for
q long time well-known landlord. Some
years ago he followed his life's inclination
and engaged in farming, and became one
of the foremost hOp-raisers in Sacramento
county. He was a remarkable example of
industry, being a tireless worker. 1t is
probable that he carried his energy in labor
to the extreme, and that his death is due
very largely to his unabating devotion to
the laboTs of his fine estate on the Cosum-
nes He will be buried in the Masonic
plat at old Elk Grove, the funeral being
from his late residence, at IL o'clock on
Sunday.

denying the fact that it can beat US hollow

Shortage in the Wine Yield.

The officers of the Viticultural Commits
sion estimate that the recent storm will
take 1000, 600 gallons from the estimated

The result will be to strengthen the mar
ket, as the shortage will have this effect.

contracts have been made to turn s000. 900

will be 100000 gallons The damage was
evenly distributed throughout the various

examination of Henry Payne, charged with
entering the tent of W. B. Stockton, on the
Judge farm, and stealing articles therefrom.

In the Police Court yesterday, the case
of George Langlois, charged with yagrancy,
in living in and about houses of i'll fame
and having no visible means of support,

defendant attempted to prove that he had
worked and had quite bank account,
Judge Buckley came to the conclusion that

guilty, and sentence will be pronounced on
Monday.

Changes in Time-Tables.

The railroad officials have for some time
been figuring on changes to be made in the
running time of trains, to go into effect on
the Ist of November, but have not yet ar
rived at definite results. Among other
changes likely to be made is the with
drawal of the swing train which has been
plving between this city and Marysville
during the summer months. The company
will also probably discontinue the night
train between MarysviIle and Oroville.
THE most popular market in the city is
the Sacramento Market, sos to 80 X street.
Here you can always find the largest, fresh
est and best supply of fruit and vegetables
to be had. Every department is conducted

cleanliness being one of the chief consider
atoms. To-day they have on hand quail,

The Close Of Volume Six.

This number of the TIMES closes
the year 1889, as we'll as it closes
volume six. How we'll the TIMES
has succeeded as true weekly p0-
litical and family paper, must be
judged by the readers of the same.
The publisher has done his very
best he could under all circumstan-
ces. The work has not been en-
tirely satisfactory to us, as our de-
sire was to give the readers bet
ter paper, but in any county paper
it is difficult to get such support
as will warrant first class paper.
The proprietor would like to prom
Use even a better paper in the future
than has been given in the past,
but feals to make promises without
larger patronage than has been
given US. The TINES ought to
have two thousand subscribers and
a large increase in advertising.
With this increase would come sue
cess, not only to the publisher but
to the readers of the paper and the
business of the town and county.
The town and county has profited
undor the present administration
of the TIMES, but the time has come
when there must be an advance in
all directions. H ONE pride, II moth
ing else should be = sufficient in
ducement to give the TIMES large
patronage. Every family in BIount
county, ought to have copy Of the
TINES, even If its politics are not
endorsed, as live paper is the life
and power Of the people Of the
county. The politics of q paper
does not determine much, only as
its politics are pure, gentle, and
peaceful. In our future work here
we feel like asking the good people
Of Blount county to give the TIMES
united patronage, so that we may
not only give our own energy, but
be able tocall in the combined talent
and energy of others to help, in the
great financial, social and moral
work which can be done In this
way and in no other. Therefore

A Splendid Kicker.

There was some fun on the street
last Friday, over a kicking OK.
This OK could beat any mule we
ever saw, he could lit either hind
leg, easier, quicker and with
less cause than any other animal.
He would kick whether any one
was near or not. The boys, and
some of the men, took advantage of
the kicking to see how near they
could get each other to the animal
without any accident, when his
heels few fast and high SO that oc-
casionally the fun became danger
Gus. Ifit had been yellow jacket
time, one could easily have imag-
ined these little yellow coated
gents in close proximity to the ox's
heels. The owner said he was per-
fectly gentle except when in town
he did not know how to act, OF
what to do with himself, but the
probability is he understood him
self, and all this was done to draw
attention, and give himselfa big
name with the boys.
