1T DID NOT WORK.

A Nicely-Arranged Trap That Failed to
Work Smoothly.
On Thursday last President Fulda of the
California Athletic Club of San Francisco
addressed a letter to Attorney General
Johnson on the subject of the glove con-
tests, or fights, that take place before that
club. There is now on the programme a
fight, to come off on the 9th inst, before
that club, between Young Mitchell and La
Blanche, the man who some months ago
defeated Jack Dempsey, the middle-weight
champion. This battle is attracting atten-
ton in so-called sporting" circles all over
the Union, and the club members are very
DESTROYS that there shall be no interference
on the part of the police.
Chief Crowley of that city has. however,
declared his intention of stopping or pre-
venting the fight and arresting all con-
cerned in it. How to avoid wholesale ar
rests or the indefinite postponement of the
fight has been the subject of discussion at
special meetings of the club, and it was
finally decided to sound the Attorney Gen.
eral on the proposition to let the matter
rest upon a judicial test of the question to
take away the clubs charter, rather than
upon criminal prosecutions Tor prOmotlng
prize-fghting.
In reply to the letter of President Fulda,
the Acknowledgement has written the fol-
lowing letter:
Replying to your letter of the 18th instant, 1
have to say that in my judgment, an action
brought in the name of the people against the
California Athletic Association for forfeiture of
charter would not settle the question as to the
duty OF the law officers of the State to see that
Sections 40 and Alb of the Penal Code are not
violated with impunity.
If your association does not violate said Sec
tions but conducts itself in accordance with
law there will be no need Of criminal prosecu-
tons nor of an action to forfeit your charter.
My letter to the Governor is only applicable to
those who violate the law against premeditated
fights If, on the other hand, your club does
violate the foregoing sections of the Penal Code,
then the law officers of the State have no dis
pensing power, but should see that the law is
enforced; and even if your charter was fol-
feited, it would not compensate for the viola
ton OF the criminal laws of the State.

RANCHER BAILEY'S RIDE.
How Cruel Practical Joker Doctored
the "ROads,o

How a Cruel Practical Joker Doctored
the Roads"
whats the matter, Joe? You look kind
of wild"
An acquaintance had noticed the unusual
appearance of his old friend Joe Bailey the
well known rancher who lives out on the
Jackson road, and naturally felt some anx-
iety about him.
What seems to be the trouble with
your" again asked the acquaintance when
his friend deigned not to explain.
''Sh-h-h!' Mr.. Bailey drew closer to his
friend and in a husky voice said: Have
you seen him? %
Seen who?"
why, the imp of evil, the demon of
darkness mean Watson, the fellow who
Keeps the stable around in the alley of K
street."
mo, I haven't seen him. What's he
been doing?"
Doing Confound him, he's been doing
too much. Sh-h-h I'm going to kill him.
Don't get me too worked up now, because
l want to make sure job of it."
The acquaintance shuddered and then
took to his heels. "Joe has gone crazy.
sure" he gasped, and redoubled his speed
to get out of harms way.
Whether or not the acquaintance has vet
learned what really sgitated his rural friend
is not known, but at any rate the RECORD
UNION can inform him. 1t seems that a
couple of days ago Mr.. Bailey drove into
town and put his team in Mr.. Watson's
stable. He left instructions that the wagon
be creased, as he wanted to return home
the next day. Now, Mr.. Watson is an in
durable practical joker, and his victims are
legion. He could not resist the temptation
to play prank on Mr.. Bailey-at least.
such is the general belief. although he
swears MIR. Baileys discontinue was due
to an accident. At any rate, in the greas
ing operation, one of the forward wheels
was exchanged with a rear one-the one
diagonally opposite.
Mr.. Bailey was in hurry next morning.
and. springing into the wagon, drove off
without noticing anything wrong, except.
as he now admits, he found the streets
dreadfully rough. The wagon pitched and
plunged at dreadful rate, racking the
victims being in shocking manner, and
the misery increased with the distance
traversed. Mr.. Bailey had business to at.
tend to in Florin on his way home, and he
congratulated himself that he would soon
be off of those terrible Sacramento streets
and on to lovely, springy country wood.
But bad luck to the practical ioker-Mr.
Bailey's experience on the country road
was even worse than in the city. His head,
back and limbs ached. He was mad, and
swore at every plunge that crazy wagon took.
Finally he reached Florin completely ex-
hausted, and staggering into George Jones
drinking palace, gasped for stimulants.
When he had been revived and told his
story about the roads," the Florin folks
concluded that something more than that
was wrong and they investigated.
1t cost Mr.. Bailey something like $40 for
drinks, and that's why he seeks the joker's
gore

A Card From John r. uoopsr.

To the public, caution. Beware of
limitations, also bogus pianos, branded
Msthushek. 1t is well known fact all
articles of good reputation are initiated by
disappointed competitors, and offered by
irresponsible parties as genuine. In the
last few years several parties have stem
ciled the name Mathushek on worthless
wood wrest plank pianos, cheaply made,
thereby hoping to palm off few pianos
on the well-earned reputation of the Math-
ushek Piano Manufacturing Company of
New Haven, CT. which firm incorporated
with large capital in 1866. whose pianos
are made strictly first class in every respect,
and so acknowledged by the best musicians
everywhere. Among the many distinctive
features of their pianos over any other
piano bearing the same or similar name, is
the bushing of the tuning pins into a
thick solid iron wrest plank. Their pianos
have been sold by me for twenty years
Respectfully, JOHN F. COOPER.

A SACRAMENTO sONGsTREss.
How Miss Tietjens, "Our Mrry," is Re-
garded in Europe.

how MISS I1etJe1ts, Our navy" Is Re-
garded in Europe.
Among the Sacramentans who have won
fame and fortune abroad is Miss Mary Tiet-
jens, but recently schoolgirl in this city.
She has been in Europe for some time,
where she has created quite furore in
musical circles. One of the leading Lon
don papers, in recent notice OF the young
Sacramento prima donna, says:
Mdlle. Marie Tietjens, niece of the in
comparable Teresa, possesses a soprano
voice of exceptional sweetness and great
compass. This young artistic {she looks
barely 20) sings with an entire absence of
affectation that enlists the sympathy of the
most critical audience. Signor Bevignani's
charming lullaby Hush My Little One2
could not possibly have found a more de-
lightful interpreter. The applause evoked
was speedily renewed when the fair singer
gave her audience the well known within
a Mile of Edinboro' Town" In the second
part Mdlle. Tiejens sang with much spirit
and tenderness Henri Loge's Next
Spring" words by Clement Scott, but the
enthusiasm of the audience was greatest
when, in response to loud encores, the
singer gave two verses of The Old Folks
at Home"

Low Fares for the Fourth.

In order that people living in small
country towns on the railroads may come
to the larger cities for the Fourth OF July,
the railroad company has resolved to re
duce rates one-half. commencing on the
Thursday preceding the Fourth, and end
ing on the following Thursday. These
rates will be given at all towns in the State
within a radius of $50 miles of Sacramento.
This will no doubt be agre eable news to
those in the outside towns who intend
coming to Sacramento to spend the ami
versary of Independence Day.

Glove Contest Last NIGHT.

Jim Hall, local celored pueilist, fought
twelve rounds last night at Brownies
Comique with Billy Wilson, of
Minneapolis, the so-called colored cham
pion of the Northwest Most of the affair
was rather tame, but toward the last it be-
came sort of cstch-as-catch-ca wrestling
contest.
In one of the bouts Hall claimed that
Wilson had elbowed him in the neck
while on the floor, and considerable excite
ment ensued. AT this iuncture the police
went on the stage and stopped the contest.
No blood was spilled, but Hall was appar-
emily overmatched in weight and science.
Wilson, however, showed that he has been
overestimated as pugilist.

A Level Head.
THE ADVANTAGE OF PRESENCE OF
MIND IN AN EMERGENCY.

THE ADVANTAGE OF PRESENCE OF
MIND IN AN EMERGENCY.
During the late strike on the New
York Central Railroad, the militia
were ordered TO be in readiness in case
of q riot, but they were not called out.
In an interview, Gov. Hill said the
troops were not to be called upon eX-
cept in case of an emergency. The
emergency had not arisen, therefore
they would not be ordered out. He
remarked that this was the first great
strike with which he had experience,
and he did not propose to lose his
head; the only point at which there
had then been serious trouble was at
Syracuse, and there a deputy-sheriff
had lost his head and precipitated an
encounter.
The strike continued several weeks
and there was riotous action at var
ious points along the road, but the
civil authorities were able to cope
with it without calling on the militia.
The test of mans real ability
comes when an emergency arises
which makes hasty call on his good
Judgment and discretion. The man
who retains his presence of mind,
maintains his equipoise and exercises
sound discretion at such critical juno
lures, is to be relied on and will be
put to the front.
Men with level heads have the stay
ing qualities which do not falter in
the face of danger. Otis a. Cole, of
Kinsman, O., June 10, 1890, writes
