A BIRTHDAY SURPRISE,

Last evening the handsome residence OF
Mr. J. II. Alley, 1906 Fairview avenue, was
the scene of merry gathering Every
one had been looking forward to the event
with much pleasure with the exception of
Mr. Aley who was kept in ignorance OF
the affair until the moment the guests be
gan to arrive. The surprise was complete,
which lent double charm to the even
ing's amusements. The occasion was the
celebration of Mr.. Alleys forty-ninth
birthday, and the festivities of
the evening will long be re-
membered as pleasant episode.
Mrs. Alley proved herself equal to the oc-
casion, and during the evening spread a
sumptuous repast for the self invited
guests
After supper the hours were pleasantly
wiled away with games and a variety OF
pastimes. For the time being all were
boys and girls again and entered into the
spirit of the games with the zest of child
hood During the evening Mr. Al Thomas
proposed new game called ''resubmis-
sion" There were fifteen Republicans
and one Democrat present but unfortu-
nately none could be found to take the pro-
hibition side.
No one present enjoyed the evening more
than the host himself. being deeply sensi-
bic of the kindly feelings which prompted
the surprise. There were present Messrs.
and Mesdames c. A. Van Ness, DR.. E. B.

To the Editor Of the Eagle
There seems to be hitch about enforc-
ing the rule in our pubic schools wherein
scholars are excluded at noon time from
the school room. 1t works hardship up
on children living AT distance, perhaps q
mile or more and numbers are compelled
to go out in the cold and stormy weather
and wait until the school belt rings. 1t is
An outrage, the rule should be abolished.

TINE FOR ACTION.
Chance for an Investigation of the City's
Fire-Alarm OfficiaIs.

Chance for an Investigation of the City's
Fire-Alarm OfhciaIs.
On the night of July 4th, fire-alarm
was sounded for box 81, at Twelfth and o
streets, and Chief Engineer O'Meara was
not long in reaching that locality, only to
find that there was no fire in the neighbor-
hood. There was a slight one, however,
but it was on X street, between Eighth
and Ninth. Night before last an alarm
was sounded for Front and NJ streets, while
the fire was N progress at Twentieth and
o. These blunders are becoming danger
ously monotOuous, and it is about time the
Fire Commissioners carried out their prom
Use made 9 mouth or so ago to do little
reforming in that branch of the Fire De-
partment service. 1t does seem as if it
might be possible to have the fire-a alarm
system keTt in such a state of repair that
alarms could be sent in correctly. 1t is too
serious q matter TO be trtled with, and
there should he a thorough investigation,
without further delay, and the blame fixed
wherever il belongs.
The person who is paid to look after the
fire-alarm system has had various excuses
10 offer for past errors of the kind referred
to, and it is barely possible that he can
show he IS not 10 blame, but property own
ers require some positive evidence in that di-
rection, or q change In the service. 1t does
not seem at al reasonable that such blum
ders cannot De avoided. AS ii is, the fire.
alarm service Is more than a farce-it is u
positive menace 10 the community.

GOING AHEAD.
The Valuable Improvements Recently
Made to the Capital Hotel.

The Valuable improvements Recently
Made to the Capital Hotel.
The work of remodeling the interior of
the Capital Hotel, which Messrs Blessing
& Guthrie inaugurated some time ago, is
now completed, excepting some finishing
touches in the way of painting, whitening,
etc. These improvements being almost
known except to those who have viewed
the work. They consist chiefly of an en-
tire remodeliDg of that portion of the he
tel in the rear of the front tier of rooms.
Two brick walls, three stories in hight
above the basement, and running back LOG
feet, have been erected on either side of the
courtyard, and the rooms opening thereon
have been enlarged. There is now not a
dark room in the house, every one opening
either on the street, or the spacious court
yard. In order to get sufficiently solid
foundation, it was deemed advisable to
sink down eighteen feet below the street
level. The basement has been filled in for
several feet. and all the piers have been
raised and provided with iron caps 16xl6x2
inches. The new arrangement has greatly
enlarged the kitchen, which is now one of
the most roomy and convenient OF which
any hotel can boast.
Bath and toilet rooms supplied with the
most modern conveniences have been pro-
vided on each floor, the ceilings and walls
of all the rooms and halls scraped and
whitened, and all the interior woodwork
reprinted. The plumbing throughout is of
the most massive character. The pipes are
all of iron, and the traps of the most i'm
proved inventions. The escape pipes are
of large dimensions and run up to the roof,
giving the entire structure the best possible
ventilation.
On the Seventh street side the old dining
room has been divided up into into offices,
etc. Two of these (adjoining one another)
have been engaged by physician one will
be reserved by the proprietors for use as
sample room, and another will be fitted up
as billiard-parlor. In the rear of these
rooms, and convenient to the hotel office
has been constructed large, airy wash
room and series of closets, ETC., for the use
Of both tenants and guests.
These Improvements will be greatly ap-
preciated by the patrons of the house, and
are creditable to the enterprise of its pro-
prietors, whose expense will be in the
neighborhood of $4,000. Messrs. Blessing
and Guthrie have lived long in Sacramento;
they are competent to judge intelligently of
its prospects, and the fact that they are dis
posed to lay out their money in improve
ments of so expensive a character should
serve to stimulate others in that direction.
They have in contemplation other plans by
which the exterior of their hotel will be
vastly improved in an architectural point of
view.

BASEBALL TOPICS.
Baker Would Like to Sign With the Sac
ramentos-NeNt Sundays Game

Baker Would Like to Sign With the Sac
ramentos-NeNt Sundays Game.
In order that no one may be disap-
pointed, announcement is again made that
the game scheduled for this city to-day, be-
tween the Stocktons and Sacramentos, will
not take place, as it has already been
played of.
1t is stated by the management that the
Sacramento club will sign Baker, lately of
the Stocktons, if he can get his release from
the Newark club. President None, of the
California League, has telegrsphed Mana
ger Lang, of this city, that Baker belongs to
Newark unless be is released, and therefore
he cannot be signed as yet by any club in
this League. Though he would much
rather play with the Sacramentos, Baker
says he will 80 East if obliged to do so, but
not until they forward him some money
and two tickets-one for his wife. He is
short of funds. but does not propose TO
leave his wife behind him. The whole
matter has been submitted to the Board of
Arbitration in San Francisco, and their &C.
ton in the matter will be the final one.
President None has telegraphed Sylves-
ter, of this city, that he will give him a
chance at umpiring in the California
League.
Next Sundays game here will be between
the Oakland and Sacramento clubs.

THE JURY WAS SELECT.
But 1t Failed to Rid Fifth Street of Mr..
Anderson's Deadfan.

But 1t Failed to Rid Fifth Street of Mrs.
Anderson's DeadfaI.
About the hottest" man in the city last
night was Chief of Police Lee. His wrath
was caused by the disagreement of the Jury
that was selected to try the case of Mrs.
Anderson, who was charged with keeping
a disorderly house. 1t was the second time
that twelve good men and true" had been
called in to sit upon the case and each
time they agreed to disagree.
Whats the USE" asked the Chief, "of a
person trying to break up that hell-hole,
when twelve citizens, selected with care,
for the purpose of trying the case, fail to
convict? People talk about the police al
lowing this or that disreputable place to
run, when the fact is the police are power
less to accomplish anything, so long as
juries fail to convictr'
What was the matter with some of the
witnesses ?" was asked.
YES" replied Lee, 'look at the way
that man Slaughter testified. Why, he and
others have come to my house in the dead
hours of the night and complained that
they could get no sleep, owing to the racket
kept up at that place, where the worst
characters in town gather, and then he
goes on the stand and swears that they
were no annoyance to him, and he had no
complaint to make"
What explanation does he make of his
conduct"
None at all, except that he pretends to
be afraid of the boys meaning the roughs
that frequent the place. He says they
would thrash him if he testified against
Mrs. Anderson"
But if the place is so VIGOROUSLY disor-
derby, how is it that she is allowed TO
maintain it-where does she get her permit
to do so?"
"Oh, she gets a license, of course" re-
marked the Chief, with an air of disgust,
but wait bit there's another ordinance
under which | think we can reach her
case aud Others of the same kind, and we'll
give them another rattle pretty SOON"

ONE MORE UNFORTUNATE.
An Unknown Man Commits Suicide b
Hanging in YolO County.

An Unknown Man Commits Suicide by
Hanging in Yolo County.
What appears to have been one of the
most determined suicides that has ever oc-
Cured in this vicinity took place yesterday
on Casselmans ranch, five miles up the
river, from the town of Washington, Yolo
county. A man was driving by the ranch
early in the morning, when he was Mortified
to see the CHASTITY form hanging from the
limb of an oak tree.
Reeves & Long undertakes, of this city,
were notified and were on the scene as
quickly as possible The body. hardly
cold, was cut down and brought to this
city.
The deceased had torn his overalls in
strips and made a rope about five feet long.
A slip.knot was on one end and the other
was securely fastened to the limb of the
tree. Judging from the position in which
the body was when discovered, the man
must have climbed up into the tree, placed
the rope around his neck and then swung
himself off the limb. The rope was pulled
tightly around his throat, and it is believed
that his neck was not broken, but that he
died from strangulation.
When found there was nothing on the
lower extremities of the body, excepting a
pair OF drawers and socks. The upper por-
ton had on a coat, vest and dark red
flannel shirt. The shoes, pair of CATERS,
were on the ground. Though the man was
strangled to dead, his features were not dis
torted in any manner. The rope had made
q black mark around the neck, and there
was considerable swelling under the ears.
There were no papers on the body, nor
other evidence in the clothing to lead to
the identity OF the unfortunate man. All
he had was an empty pocket book and a
corn-cob pipe. The body was that of a
man five feet seven inches in hight, and
about thirty years of age. He was of light
complexion, with light-brown hair and a
light mustache, and his face was considera-
bly, freckled. His coat and vest were dark
and the overalls blue. He was buried in
the potters' field yesterday.

The Election Was Valid.

Attorney General Johnson has forwarded
the following opinion to Hon. Ira G. Hoitt,
State Superintendent of Public Instruction:
Replying to the inquiry of William NJ.
Maxwell, of Knights Ferry, submitted by
you to me, have to say that, under Section
1897 of the Political Code, the polls at the
election of School Trustees should have
been kept open four hours, but it seems
that the notices posted specified that the
polls would be open between the hours of
l and o'clock. This would be only three
hours. The voters, therefore, who voted
between and 5 o'clock properly voted
and the election of Trustees cannot be set
aside on this account The notice would
be good as specifying the initial hour for
commencement of voting, and the law sup
plies the terminal hour, which would be 5
O'clock
