BUSINESS TACTICS.
A Curious Letter Being Circulated Among
Wholesale Merchants.

A Curious Letter Being Circulated Among
Wholesale Merchants.
There is considerable comment in bust
ness circles over the circulation among the
banks and wholesale houses of copies of a
letter purporting to have been written by
the firm of Mebius & Co. to E. Uchtman, a
commission merchant in New York, in re-
gard to large shipment of hops made
through the former to the latter house for
H. Wittenbrock, the well-knoWn hop
grower. 1t is said that the press copy of
the letter was surreptitiously extracted
from the press copy-book of the firm of
Mebius q Co., but by whom is not known.
1t is being circulated to show the manner
in which business is done by that firm.
Mr.. Wlttenbrock was asked about the
matter, and said that about two years ago
he went TO Mebius e. Co. to get some stem
cils to mark lot of hops for shipment to
New York. That the firm urged him to
ship through them, stating that they could
get better transportation rates, and that
they would not charge him any commits
sion. That the only commission he would
have to pay would be that charged by the
New York house, which would be one per
cent on sales at less than twenty cents per
pound and five per cent on all sales over
twenty cents. With this understanding he
shipped the hops through Mebius & Co.
The letter referred to is alleged to have
been written at the time the hops were
shipped, and in it Uchtman is told that
the firm wishes him to so arrange that it
will receive at least one cent per pound out
of the sale, but that Wittenbrock is not to
know it. 1t also refers to shipments of
hops by j. E. Camp and ?. J. Crowley on
their own hook, and asks the New York
house to " cinch the former, referring to
the latter in very uncomplimentary terms.
Mr.. Witte1brock says that the account
is still unsettled, as he demands the full
returns and interest thereon. He proposes
TO commence an action for an accounting
within the next few days.

THE BENEFIT.
The Benefit Tonight For the Johnstown
Sufferers.

The Benefit Tonight For the Johnstown
Sufferers.
At the Clunie Opera House this evening
the benefit arranged to swell the Sacra-
mento Relief Fund for the sufferers by the
Conemaugh valley food will take place
The idea of the benefit originated with Miss
Maye Kewen, and all its details have been
perfected by her. There will be a drill and
movement exercises by company-six
files of :ours-of young women whom she
has instructed during the past year. There
will be tableaux arranged by Mrs. Abbie
Genung, whose skill in that direction
is wel-known. There will also be
musical and dramatic entertainment
by Mr. DeLaguna, tenor of San Fran
cisco, Miss Carol Grouse and Mrs. Wv
man, of San Francisco. In addition there
will be given Rotations and other num-
bers of pleasing character. Manager Hall
has given the free use of the Opera House
for the benefit, and all the usual costs of
an entertainment have been donated. The
entertainment will be well worth the low
price for admission, but behind that is the
noble purpose for which it is projected. 1t
ought to be sufficient to fill the house from
the footlights to the last tier in the family
circle. The prices for seats are but so cents
and % cents, and no extra charge for re-
serving.
The relief fund list is sill open at the
RECoRD-UNIoN Office for all who wish to
enroll themselves among those who are
willing to aid the stricken people of Johns
town. As RAPIDLY as the money comes in
the RECORD UNION will forward it to Gov
ernor Beaver, through whom it reaches the
State Board of Charities for discreet dis
bursement in the alleviation of suffering
and the aid of the worthy who lost all their
earthly possessions in the food in Penn
sylvania.

GAME EXTERMINAToRs.
People, Who Should Know Better, Kill
ing Unreasonable Game.

People, Who Should Know Better, Kill
ing Unreasonable Game.
A few days ago it was announced
that Sacramento youth, who is on visit
to the Butte Meadows, had killed deer,
and now comes the Woodland Mail of yes
terGay with the following:
"a deer was killed by a hunter early
Saturday morning in the willow thicket
near the residence of Mr.. Ibes, on Cache
creek. 1t is against the law to kill deer at
present, but the hunter could not resist the
temptation. Owing to the fact that bad
wound existed on the deer's hind quarters.
the hunter was afraid to carry the carcass
home for food, but removed the head and
antlers. There is some talk of causing the
hunters arrest"
1t is very singular that people who are
otherwise good and aw-abiding citizens
have SO little regard for the laws made for
the preservation of game And vet, year
in and year out, the illegal slaughter of
game goes on, and the law officers of the
various counties pay little or no heed
thereto. One of the chief glories of Cali
fornia has been its wild game-both of the
mountains and meadows-and it will be a
sorry day for the State when it will have
been practically exLerminated for the bene-
fit of few market-hunters and to satisfy
the greed of that class OF creatures who
cannot suppress their inclination to "klll
something"

Carriage-Load of People Thrown Into
the River-Child's Arm Broken.
Yesterday morning G. Adams of this
city, accompanied by his wife and daughters
Lizzie and Belle, while driving on the river
road, about a mile below Freeport, met
with an accident which might have proved
fatal to the entire party had it not been for
the fortunate presence of Al. Gardiner
and others who happened to be in the
vicinity at the time At the place where
the accident occurred the river and the
road run almost side by side. Mr.. Adams
happened to drive too close to the river
bank and it gave way and upset the horse,
carriage and occupants into the river.
Mr. Gardiner and others, seeing the dan
gerous condition of the party, rushed TO
their assistance and succeeded in landing
them all safely, without any further dam
age than what would follow cold bath.
Some boatmen were near by and succeeded
N getting the horse loose from the vehicle
and placing both on dry ground Mr.
Adams and family returned to the city last
evening, not much the worse for their ex-
perience. Some safeguard should be placed
there to prevent accidents of the kind re-
ferred TO.
Shortly after the above occurrence an
other carriage, which was occupied bv q
man, two ladies and several children, up
set near the same place, but on the hard
ground. One of the children had an arm

Recent Legislative Acts.
Il is likely that the Supreme Court will
soon be called upon TO determine the le-
gality Of the Act sppropriating money
with which to purchase site for the Home
for Feeble-Minded Children. H. c. Dibble,
one of the Commissioners appointed to Sc
lect site, applied recently to State Con-
troller Dunn for warrant for the amount
of his travelling expenses, and received a
reply on Saturday from that official, in
which the latter said
Your letter of recent date is at hand. in which
you ask whether or not will draw for travelling
expenses incurred in locating a site for the
Home for Feeble Minded Children under the
Act approved March g. 1889. A claim for travel
ing expenses, under said Act, amounting to S51
reached this office on the 3lst day of May last
As you are aware, there has been no little con
troverSy raised over the matter of the legality
OF the appropriation, and, after a very careful
consideration of the mater, l am in doubt as 10
my duty about drawing the warrant, and deem
II advisable that the supreme Court should con-
strue the law and direct me in my action.
The State Controller is likewise IN doubt
regarding the force of the Act appropriat
ing money for the purchase of certain Yo-
semitic roads, and writes to Samuel Miller,
agent of the Yosemite Stage Company that
he prefers not to issue a warrant there
under until the Supreme Court passes upon
the matter.

CHILD AND STATE.
An Institution Whose Object Is to Save
Erring Children.

An Institution Whose Object Is to Save
Erring Children.
In the absence of Rev. G.. P. Massey, who
was at Oakland, yesterday the Unitarian
pulpit was filed by David Heap, Superin-
tendent of the Boys and Girls Aid Society,
OF San Francisco. The gentleman preached
an interesting sermon, and at its conclusion
spoke of the institution with which he is
connected.
The Boys and Girls Aid Societyis non
local organization. Although it is situated
in San Francisco, its field is the whole of
California. 1t takes poor, helpless children
from all parts of the State, free of charge,
feeds and clothes them and finds them de-
slrable homes in private families. Its great
feature is in taking youthful offenders
against the law and striving to reclaim
them from their evil ways, going on the
principle that 1t is better for the State to
save children than to support criminals.
The Society has a fine, large Home in
San Francisco, but it is not endowed and
depends entirely upon the contributions of
the public for its running expenses. An
effort is now being made to secure 1000
subscribers who will pay S. per year each
toward the support of the institution.
Surely the object is most worthy one
and appeals to the hearts of all benevolent
people.
The officers claim that special grant
should be made the society by the State.
Large sums are thus bestowed upon the
orphan asylums, and this society gets stated
sums IN support from the State-only
small proportion, however, OF what it would
get did it keep its inmates at the Home
permanently. That, however, would be in
direct opposition to its most important
feature-the placing of the children in good
private homes.
This matter is managed with great care.
A full investigation is made before an in
mate is located in any family, to find that
the children get desirable homes. Nor does
the surveillance of the society end there.
1t keeps a careful watch over the child
until the age of eighteen is reached
The society is entirely non-sectarian and
appeals to the generosity and philanthropic
instincts of citizens of every faith and
creed.
