HI Tie
"NNhat funny dream I've had" said
little Evelyn, coming late to the break
fast table. All eyes turned at once to
her happy, glowing face. Whenever
Evelyn talked something mysterious
was likely to be the subject.
WELL" said her mamma, "and what
was the dream about? Something nice,
no doubt; by your looks"
1T was nothing but seed; but that
seed was the prettiest thing In the
world, and was alive. Some one came
and carried it off 1t trembled and
wondered where it was going to be ia
ken. AT last it came to a garden, and it
was set on the ground. A man dug a
hole down in the earth and took up the
lovely seed to put it into it. But the
seed cried piteously; 'The hole is dark
and ! don't want to be left there alone.
No. nor
"'Don't be afraid" said he softly.
Some day you will be glad.
Here the little story-teller paused and
sighed Shaking back her curls, she
went on: at was a sad time, very sad
for the poor seed. But there it lay a
long time under the ice and snow and
slept. When spring came the seed was
warm. 1t wasn't hurt q bit, and right
over it, too, sprouted a green thing. 1t
got up higher and higher, all fresh and
beautiful And what do you think,
mamma? There came out lots and lots
of new seed just like the one buried !!
The little seed was delighted and said:
How silly / was to be afraid of such a
nice resting place If hadn't been
put in the ground should never have
enjoyed this light with all these pleas

"Now, mamma, l guess the reason |
dreamed such a funny dream is what
you told me of a dear little brothers
grave. You rememner how loud |
cried, and disturbed everybody. But
you hlshed me, mamma, by whispering
very softly: Don't cry, dear, you're
going to see little brother again resur-
rection morning. '"-Sdroh Gould, IN ST.

his wife an explanation of the astonisb-
Ing Occurance.
Why shouldn't she sit with MS ?" the
wife asked. IN sure she is as good as
am, though less fortunate. Her hay-
ing to work is pity, but it 5 not a crime.
IT does not make her any the less a
woman and an equal"
But | can't help all that" said the
husband, 'She shall not stat the table
with me-"
Then she won't stay"
Then let her go"
But | want her, | need her. Oh, did
any one ever hear of such an absurd
piece of false pride ?''
Hear of it; there is no kitchen Girl in
TINS city who would presume to sit ut the
family table,"
Then why not break a bad rule, and
do what we know to be right"
The wife treatened to sit in the kitcb-
Ell at dinner with the girl, the husband
was angry, perplexed but firm. The
upshot of ii all was that he talked with
the Yankee servant girl, and she put on
her hat and cape, and sailed out of the
house next morning, full of indigna-
ton, like a tragedy queen.
The husband is in deep disgrace, and
says that only time and acquaintance
with a few regular New York foreign
born servant girls will open his wife's
eyes to the fact that they are not to be
made companions and equals, that she
wouldn't consider them so, and that
they would decline to be treated as
such.

THERE WILL BE MUSIC.
enthusiastic Meeting of the Promoters of
Open-Air Concerts.


There was quite an enthusiastic meeting
OF citizens at Justice Bakers office last
evening Tor the purpose of making start
in the matter OF having open.air concerts
this summer. These concerts have proved
to be most enjoyable affairs, and last year
the evenings en- which they were held
were looked forward to by every one with
pleasure. The crowds that attended were
the best evidence that the concerts were
popular. and no doubt many are now aux.
lously hoping and waiting for them 10
commence.
AT the meeting held last evening General
j. u. MARITIME was chosen Chairman. ]. f.
Mills, Treasurer, and Ed. NJ. Sheehap.
Secretary. Mr.. Mills made report of the
money collected and the manner in which
II was expended last year, and stated that
there was balance of 500 AZ left over,
which OF course will be applied to the ex-
pense account this year.
After some discussion the following gen.
tlemen were appointed an Executive Com
mlttee 10 manage the entire affair: ]. B.
Gilbert, ]. 6. MARITIME. Charles Barton, II.
Z. Van VOORHEES,, J. E. Mills, ]. A. Gill and
+. j. Devlin. The committee will meet in
day or SO to appoint subcommittee to
canvass for the necessary funds to manage
the concerts, and it is expected that the
merchants, business men and people gen.
orally will contribute literally, so that
enough money will be subscribed to have
two concerts each week-one on each Sun
Gay and another on weekday evening.

MRS. vALLA's DEATH.
Mysterious Hints Concerning Her Affairs
The Inquest Tonight.

The Inquest Tonight.
There is nothing TO be added TO the
RECORD UNIONS account of the suicide Of
Mrs Margaret Valla, as published yester-
day, nor has anything occurred 10 warrant
less harsh criticism of the manner in
which she was left to die in the Receiving
Hospital, with no attendants beside the
Jailer and one or two police officers. There
seems 10 have been an unholy scramble for
the poor woman's money, xhile she was
dying, between her husband and daughter.
The latter is said to be not over-gifted in.
tellectualiy, and it is therefore possible that
she has been acting under the influence of
other persons.
The 81 SEQ which Mrs Valla was reported
to have drawn from the bank a few DAYS
ago is still safe. 4 citizen who resides
near where she lived, and claims to have
known all about her family and business
affairs, hints in mysterious manner that
there is great deal TO be told that might
pear more or less directly or the causes of
her DEATH but he was very careful not to
reveal anything himself. There will prob.
ably be contest between the husband of
the deceased and her daughter bv former
hpsoand1 for the possession of her little
store OF money, and then the inside history
OF the latter years of the poor womau's
life may c.me to light.
Coroner Clark had intended to hold an
inquest on the body Of Mrs. yalla last
evening, but had not been able to summon
all the witnesses, and had postponed the
inquiry uniilthis evening.

Suffer Fort.

Some ten days ago San Francisco Jour
nal. in relating the experience of one of
their reporters on q visit to this CITY, Whose
quest was finding the site of the old Suffer
Fort, reflected somewhat On the patriotism
of our citizens. But as it always has been
point of the bay city people to belittle
the steady progress and Improvement of
our city, and as they would like to make
the world believe that Sacramento is still
the village of former years, we should not
heed nor notice reflection of this kind.
The steady improvement toward the east
from the river front has nearly reached the
boundaries of the city limits, and it will
be only few years when the historical old
Suffer Fort will be classed sas center
point of Sacramento. In consequence of
this fact, and being truly convinced of the
great future of our city, most respectfully
announce to my friends. and the public in
general, that / have built and stocked a
general merchandise store at the northeast
corner of Twenty-third and L streets, under
the name of the ''Sutter Fort Cash Grocery"
where / will be pleased to meet my old
friends, and as many new ones as may be
convinced it will be to their benefit to trade
with me. My stock is new and well Sc
lected. My prices will compare with the
lowest. GEORGE LIcHTHARDT, Proprietor. !,

A party OF twenty persons. consisting of
the members of Sloan and Sacramento

Dixon Lodge, of that place, on Thursday
evening, leaving here at $50 and returning

Counselor Post Moves for One for Charles
Freeman.
Yesterday was the date set by Judge
Van Fleet for passing sentence upon
Charles Freeman. who had been convicted
of the murder Of Mark Feeney. The pris-
oner sat beside his counsel, c. n. Post, and
preserved that remarkable self.control
which he exhibited throughout his trial.
The Courtroom was filed with people, but
they were doomed to disappointment in not
having an opportunity to see how Free
man would stand the ordeal of being sen.
fenced to the gallows.
District Attorney Bruner brought the
matter before the attention of the Court in
the usual formal way, and Judge Van Fleet
asked the prisoner if there WAS any legal
cause why judgment should not be pro-
nounce6
Mr.. Post here arose and informed the
Court that he desired to make motion for
new trial. He desired that the hearing
OF the argument thereon be fixed for some
other day, and that the matter of passing
sentence be continued until the determine
lion of the motion.
The 22d OF the present month was there
upon fixed by the Court for hearing the
argument and passing sentence.

A Good Ordinance

The Supervisors yesterday passed an or
dinance to prohibit the shooting of doves
in this county until the LIST of July. This
action is well timed, as the birds are in the
midst of their nesting season on the lst Of
June. To slaughter the old birds then is
not only cruelty to their young. but in
the end must result in the determination
of the doves entirely.
