WET, BUT HAPPY.
How Yesterdays EXcursionists Made
the Best of Circumstances.

HOW 1eSterday'S EXcurSiOniStS Made
the Bcst-of Circumstances.
The annual picnic of the Catholic
Church took place yesterday, under
rather adverse circumstances. The
steamers Governor Dana and San Joa-
quin No. 5, having in tow the large barge
Missouri, left the Pioneer Mills landing
about $50 A. NJ, for Mahon's Grove. The
weather at the time of starting promised
to be fair, but the excursionists were
hardly an hour on the water before rain
began to fall heavily.
There was large attendance fully
two thousand people being present. The
barge was canvaSed overhead, but never
theless, the rain soaked through and made
dancing almost impossible.
The grove was reached about l o'clock
but as the rain was still falling very few
went ashore. Notwithstanding the draw
backs, the day passed very pleasantly.
The excursionists started ON the return
trip about 1 o'clock, but had proceeded
but short distance when they landed on
a sandbank, which delayed them fully an
hour. On striking the bank, the steamer
San Joaquin No. 3, which was towing in
advance of the barge, had the planks of
her paddle-wheel considerably damaged.
The picnickeFs finally succeeded in
reaching the city at 7:30 o'clock. A num-
Der of games were programmed for the oc-
caSion, but the state OF the weather caused
them to be abandoned. The day passed
very quietly, not the slightest disturb
ance occurring TO mar the pleasure of the
occasion. The HuSSar Band did its best.
with music, to while away the hours Of
the journey.

A Good Answer.

The Bee has been getting expressions
Of citizens in regard to the advisability of
passing the ordinance introduced by
Trustee Mclaughlin providing for the
closing of all saloons at midnight, and
that no spirituous or malt liquors shall be
sold at restaurants between II and 5 a. ".
The most sensible expression obtained
was that from Frank Gregory, OF Greg
Dry Brothers, who said: 'Ifit VIII close
down the dives. the midnight closing
movement is an excellent thing. Bat it
seems to me there is a more effective
way, and that would be to enforce the
ordinances we have. II any one keeps u
disreputa5lo place, OF one that fosters
vice and crime, bis application for license
revoked. On the contrary, if he con-
ducts an orderly, quiet saloon, l cannot
see the necessity for compelling him to
close up during any particular hours"

Mr.. MILLER S OFFER.
lie Maks Music Award and Found.
Local Music Fund.

lie MahS MUSIC Award and Pounds
Local Music Fund.
Some two or three years ago Frank
Mi Her conceived the idea of creating a
fund to encourage development of sing
ing voices among the young people of
Sacramento, especially school youths.
His idea was to have the fund produce a
revenue, which should be given as an
annual prize to the young man or woman
of Sacramento, either Sacramentan by
long residence or by birth, who made
greatest progress in singing.
Mr.. Miller held that there is ever de-
mand for good singers: that too much at
tention is given to instrumental and too
little to vocal culture. That the condi-
tions here are all superior for the develop
ment of good singing voices. AS the
community is not large enough to main
tain q conservatory of music, he con-
ceived the idea of the prize fund as
means of local stimulus for school youths.
Heaccordingly bought lot, and decided
it to Messrs. Babcock, Anderson and
Johnson. teachers, for the purpose indi-
Gated. Two of these grantees have left
the city, and nothing has been done with
the property. Mr.. Miller has now re-
quested them to re-deed the property to
him, which they will do. He proposes
then to sell the land and can do SO at
once. one hundred dollars OF the pro-
ceeds he will award TO Miss Gertie Carly
Aud, to aid her as singer Of local devel-
opment TO go to Europe for further study.
The remainder Of the money he pro-
poses to ask the California Museum AS
sociation-a corporation of which he is
Director-to take and invest as music
fund, to be augmented as may lie, the in
crease to be awarded as may be hereafter
determined by him in encouragement Of
singing talent among the youth OF Sacra-
mentO.
Miss Carly will receive the 500 on the
condition that OH her return from Europe
she viii give first concert in California
in this city for the benefit of the music
fund referred to. That she will accept so
generous an offer is not for a moment
doubted.
The Museum Association will also I'M
doubleday accept the trust referred to. In
two or three years the fund ought 10 be
made $1,000, and local musical people
should unite to make it reach that figure
very soon. Eventually it may be made
very large fund and a possible basis for
q school of music in this city. At least it
win always be the source Of modest and
encouraging rewards and medals for
singing excellence among the school
youth Of Sacramento.

They Say They We're Supplied with

Three or four boys who attended the

Wilson.
One of the youngsters was particularly
betuddled, and as he staggered about the

this one to the City Prison and had the

The boy sobered up considerably when
he arrived at the prison, and was con-
fronted by Judge Cravens, who was
there at the time. The Judge read the
riot act' to him in severe tones, and the
boy boo-hooed at great rate. He in

BROKER MURPHY,
Judge Cravens Finds Him Guilty of

Judge Cravens Finds Him Guilty of
swindling William McDermott.
James A. Murphy, the barkeeper at
Jack Smiths dive on K street, near
Third, was yesterday tried and convicted
OF embezzlement in the Police Court.
The complaining witness, William Nc
Dermott, swore- that he came to Sacra-
mento last week from Maxwell, and had
IN his possession time-check on the
contracting firm Of Turton & Knox, for
whom he had been working. 1t called
for Sli IS, payable on June 10th. After
endeaVoring but falling to get the check
cashed ut the several banks, or at the
Office of the lumber company managed
by Fred Knox, he and q friend went into
Smiths saloon and asked Murphy to
cash the check. The latter spoke to
Smith the proprietor, but he said he had
no money. McDermOtt then made the
remark that he would sell the check at
five, ten or even fifteen per cent. dis
count. and Murphy took it and went out,
after getting McDermott TO indoTse it.
In a couple Of hours he came back and
offered him So for it, saying that that was
all he could get.
McDermott protested. and demanded
the check, but Murphy said he did not
have it, but finally promised to try and
dig it up'' for him.
4 couple of days later Murphy met
McDermott and informed MIN that he
did not intend TO be put to any more
trouble about the check. He again
offered McDermott the s., and said If he
did not accept that amount he could do
what he wished.
According TO the story told by the de-
fendant Murphy, McDermott offered to
take - for the check, and when Murphy
got him that amount he refused to accept
il. The defendant did not give UP the
check, but went TO Maxwell, got it
cashed at per cent. discount, and re-
turned. He considered that it was a
square business transaction, and there
was no attempt TO rob the man.
Judge Crayens said he believed the
transaction a scheme to swindle McDer-
mott, and ne found Murphy guilty.
Sentence will be pronounced to-day,
