IT would not be easy to imagine a
more abominable crime than that
which is revealed in the story that
comes to us from Kansas of the kid
mapping of children of wealthy
parents to hold for ransom. The
mere mention of such scheme car
ries terror to every home where
there are little ones. In this in
stance it Is gratifying to learn that
the villains were apprehended before
they had succeeded in carrying their
plans into effect, and are likely to be
sent to prison. No punishment that
they are likely to receive will be re-
garded as too severe for their offense.

A NOTABLE installation is about to
be made between Seattle and Ia
coma, a distance of forty-two miles.
This will be the longest electric
railway in the world Much has
been said and written of late of the
probability of electric motors being
run on trunk lines before long and
the railway in question is but the in
augural step to some early and ex-
tensive developments. The main
promoter of the line, speaking on
the subject, says: Theorists and
takers have for some years been
saying that electricity is the great
motive power of the future. But
the people of the east and the ones
who do the most talking still stick
to the steam railways. We of the
west are going to put the electrical
way to a practical test The road
will be a fair competitor of the
steam railway, and at a fair dis
lance.

BASEBALL NOTES.
The Home Clubs New Uniforms-The
Umpire Was Right.

Ine home CLUBS New Uniforms-The
Umpire Was Right.
New uniforms have arrived for the Sac.
rnmentos. These are of pure white fannel
and the name of the club is lettered across
the breast of the shirts in maroon color.
The belts, stockings and caps are of the
same color as the trimmings, but they
have not yet arrived from the East. The
uniforms were made in San Francisco and
the club will appear in them in the game
here next Thursday.
Umpire Stafford was undoubtedly right
in his decision in Fridays game here,
when Kilroy batted in place of Perrott. he
declared Perrott out for failing to take his
position, and allowed Kilroy to bat over
again.
Many, including the baseball reporter,
thought that kilroy should have been de-
clared out, and Cahill De called up as next
batter, entirely ignoring Perrott.
The rule reads: The batsman is out if
he fails to take his position at the bat in
his order of batting unless the error be dis
covered and the proper batsman takes his
| position before fair hit lone inside the
| foul line) has been made
Mr.. Stafford says the proper way for the
| scorer to co is to mark an "out" for Perrott
in batting out of turn.

Thicker and More of It.

The following is taken from the New
York Musical Courier, one OF the largest
and most responsible of the leading
musical papers in the United States:
Among the incorporators of the Mathu-
shek & Son concern we find Charles Jacobs
as Treasurer and his brother Albert 1--WE
believe that is his name) Secretary, these
being the important places in the company.
This signifies that Jacob Brothers will
run the Mathushek & Son Company,
and for no other reason than to trade on
( the name of the Mathushek Company, of
| New Haven.
1T is nothing less than an attempt to do
with the Mathushek name what Jacob
Brothers intended to do with the Linde-
| man name-a game that was foiled by the
Musicat Courier.

Son pianos and see if they are not Jacob

A FAMILY AFFAIR,
The Levia-Calderone Trouble Ventilated
in the Police Court.

The Levia-Calderone Trouble Ventilated
in the Police Court.
The cases of Lena Levia and Mary Rich
ter, each charged with three offenses-burg.
larry, petit larceny and battery-were venti-
lated in the Police Court yesterday. The
prosecuting witness was a woman named
Santus Calderone Leyia, who, when placed
on the witness stand, testified that Lena
Levia and Mrs. Richter, the girls aunt
came to her house last Monday and with.
out any authority proceeded to ransack
everything in the domicile. A quarrel en-
sued, and in the melee the two defendants
struck her in the face and afterward left
the house. After they had gone she missed
pair of earrings and breast. pin from a
bureau drawer.
Mr.. Levia, the father of the girl and
brother of Mrs. Richter, corroborated Mrs.
Calderones statement. and in addition
said that his daughter Lena had stolen two
gold rings from his watch-chain. Neither
party had any right in the house; his
daughter had not been there before for
over year and half.
Mrs. Richter swore that she went to her
brothers house with Lena for the purpose
of getting some of the girls clothing and a
picture. Sne uenleQ having struck Mrs
| Calderone first, and sneeringly remarked
that her brother was keeping the woman
as his mistress, and that Lena wouldn't
live with him for that reason. She further
stated that they took nothing from the
| house.
Lena Levis; a comely little Spanish girl
of 10 years of age, admitted having entered
| her fathers house, explaining that she
| wanted to get her mothers picture
When asked why she took the rings
| from her fathers watch-chain, she com.
menced giggling, and said she was going to
keep them until he gave up her clothes and
| the picture.
City Attorney Hart said he believed there
was no real felonious intent on the part OIL
| the defendant, but that it was mere fam.
| lily disturbance. He thought, however
that Lena should give up the rings. and
| then if her father had something belong
| ing to her, she could get it by process o.
| law.
Judge Buckley took the case under ad
visement until Tuesday, and if by thai
time the rings are given up the cases will
probably be dismissed.

The School of Design and Its Work
A Slight Accident.
The Sacramento School of Design has
now been at the Summit one week. In
that time its progress in landscape study
has exceeded the expectations of the in
structors. They testify that the scholars
have applied the principles Of landscape
drawing taught them in the class. room
very much more quickly and intelligently
in the broad field of the Sierras than had
been anticipated. The present week the
course of study will be more difficult, their
attention being given to strong light and
shade and 10 detail, and somewhat less to
color work, which, however, will be con-
lnued: II Is the intention also TO do more
in study of distance effects
The school celebrated The Fourth" bv
a pyrotechnic display in the evening after
half holiday in the afternoon. One even
ing last week an orchestra was secured.
and by the kindness of the proprietor of
the hotel the scholars enjoyed a delightful
hop
One day last week the only accident of
the excursion occurred. Miss Myers, un-
thinkingly, spraDg from a hand, car near
the hotel and fell between the rails, the car
passing over, but not striking the young
lady or another young woman who fell
with her. The former sustained sprain
of an ankle and one or two bruises, but
nothing at all serious. She now limps to
her work, while rejecting upon the folly
OF jumping from moving vehicle.
Assistant Instructor Sawyer came down
to the city yesterday morning and taught
the Saturday class at the Art Gallery. He
returned to the Summit last night. The
scholars instructors and accompanying
friends are all warm in their commenda-
ton of Joseph Goulden, proprietor of the

Mr.. Goulden is also a member of the

hotel is situated in the miost of a perfect
sportsman's paradise. 1t is distant from
the Summit only twelve miles and is
reached by stage from Summit station. A
telephone line connects the two lines so
that guests at the springs, while located
in the midst of the forest still have the
means OF communication with the outer
world. There are innumerable lakes and
streams in the vicinity, all teemipg with
trout while deer and other game abound in
the surrounding hills and canyons.

AN EXPLODING LAMP.
IL Burns Two Houses-Narrow Escape of
an Entire Family.


A fire broke out at 9 o'clock las
night in small frame cottage OIL
the north side of Q street, one doc
from the corner of Fourteenth, owned
by Nathan Spartner and occupied by
the family of Robert White, propri
etor OF saloon on l. street, between
Sixth and Seventh. The family, with the
exception of Mr.. White, had very narrow
escape from losing theiI lives in the flames
that consumed the building.
! 1t seems that MIS-. White mad lust bathed
and placed in bed her four little children,
including young babe. She placed a
| lamp on table and went to another part
OF the house tor pitcher of water. Hear
ing noise, she ran back TO the bedroom
and found the lamp on the floor, and the
latter sheet of flame from the burning
Oil, In the midst of which was the bed
containing her little ones. The lamp had
exploded
The mother was nearly paralyzed at the
sight, but grasped q blanket and sought to
smother the fire. Finding she could not,
she lost her presence of mind and rushed
INTO the street screaming "murderln and
tnen ran back into the burning room where
her children were.
her screams brought to the door Furg
carter, whose house was only few feet
away, and he ran into the house and
dragged out Mrs. White, who had become
helpless from fright, and then, aided by
Sllas Phelps lwho lived in the house ad.
joining on the other side) got the children
out in safety.
A great crowd of people had gathered.
and the mother ran about among them
irantic with the fear that her little ones were
IN the blazing pile, she not having been
aware that they were rescued. They were
nnaliy restored TO her, and they were given
shelter in the house of neiehbor.
When the tiremen reached the spot the
cottage was nearly consumed, and the two
story house adjoining on the west. occupied
by Mr. Phelps and family, was also burn
Ing. Their children had retired, but all
the family got ont in safety.
Mis-. Phelps mother, Mrs. Davis. who
lived with her daughter, started back into
the burning house to try and save some
papers and cherished keepsakes. but she
was restrained by bystanders. She is a
victim OF heart disease, and the shock and
excitement proved too much for her and
she became Frustrated. She was carried to
the residence of neighbor, where num-
Der OF ladies labored to restore her, and
mad partially succeeded when another at
tack seized her. She labored for time
under the fear that one of her daughters
children had persisted, and it was with
difficulty that this impression was removed.
AT late hour she was suffering severely,
bat her family and friends were hoping
against a fatal termination of the attack.
Nothing was saved from the house occu-
pied by Robert White, and but little from
tina: of Mr.. Phelps. The former house
was worth but few hundred dollars,
while the latter (owned by John Ing) was
worth about $1,000. 1t is practically ruined,
but had the firemen not done some of
their most effective work there would have
been an extensive fire, as strong wind
was blowing at the time.
