How They Dedicated Their New Hall
Last Evening.

How They Dedicated Their New Hall
Last Evening.
Court Capital and Court Sacramento,
Ancient Order of Foresters, had de-
ightful reunion last evening. The occa-
sion was the dedication of their new hall
on Tenth street, between and K, above
the carriage factory of Nielsen Brothers.
The hall was tastefully decorated, and
presented most inviting appearance.
Although a spacious one, it was filled to
its utmost capacity by members of the
order and some invited friends.
Herman Fisher presided during the
exercises, which were opened by an in
teresting address by Hon. Grove L..
Johnson, who briefly reviewed the his
tory of the order and Its growth in Sacra-
mento. He also spoke of its many ex-
cellent features, and explained why the
order was such a popular one. The adj
dress was warmly received.
Mrs. Samuel Katzenstein favored those
present with a vocal solo; Albert Hart
gave recitation in his usual effective
style; William Longbottom sang tenor
solo; c. A. Neale rendered a solo on the
flute; Mr.. Dyrral gave a recitation, and
Miss Sallie Phipps vocal solo. The ex-
ercises closed with an address by Her
man Fisher.
After the musical and literary portion
of the programme had been disposed OF
the hall was cleared and for couple oi
hours the guests indulged in dancing, the
music for which was furnished by G. a.
Neale's orchestra.
A splendid banquet, prepared in an
adjoining hall and at which District Dep
uty Frank Carpenter presided, closed one
of the most enjoyable of the many pleas
ant reunions that have marked the his
tory of the ForeSterS In this city.

Substantial Character of the Work
More Bones Found.
As an indication of the excellent char
acter of the work that is being done in
the restoration of the old Sutter Fort, it
is stated that the weight of the tiles on
the roof of the main building is some
forty tons. And yet the old walls were
so decayed when the work of restoration
was begun that they had TO be braced up
to keep them from crumbling and falling
upon the workmen.
The Commissioners and architect are
entitled to credit for the thorough char
acter of the work done under their super
vision.
While digging trench to drain por-
ton of the Sutter Fort grounds yeSter-
day, some workmen unearthed several
more human bones. In early days a
number OF persons were buried there, but
it is now impossible to identify the graves.

that the great grain blockade is not re-

The Ballot Reform Law.

There appears to be concensus of opin-
ion in the States We're elections were
held last month as to the success Of the
Australian ballot law. A Colorado
paper declares that under the new law
the ''colonists and two-dollar men" We're
wholly disfranchised. In Ohio, accord
ing to the Cleveland PldindedJer, no
quieter or more orderly election was
ever held; the new system has insured
secrecy of vote, and therefore a stronger
presumption of vote free from corrup-
ton and intimidation. It has secured a
quietness and orderliness on election day
beyond all precedent In Chicago, says
the Globe, sits success justified all the
claims made in its behalf; the ticket
peddler and the ward-heeler We're
nowhere; it also rendered impossible all
forms of bribery and corruption"

It is stated authoritively that Jay
Gould fell in a fit while making a
speech at the recent Missouri Paci-
fic meeting. The cause is varlously
given as paralysis and nervous pros
tration. It appears that the railway
magnate felt keenly the savage critl-
cism heaped upon him in Wall street
on account Of passing the Missouri
Pacific dividend, in which action he
was opposed by Russell Sage. Jay
Gould was born at Roxbury, n Y.
in 1896, and is consequently fifty
five years of age. In 1852 he be
came a clerk in country store.
The famous "Jay Gould" map OF
Delaware county, published in Phila-
delphia in 1886, was "from actual
survey" by that active young man.
In his early manhood Mr.. Gould
formed partnership with Colonel
Zadock Pratt, in the tanning bust
ness, at a place in Pennsylvania, sub
sequently called after him, Goulds-
boro. He removed to New York
city in 1859 and began business as
broker. The time was we'll chosen
for the experiment, and the man had
that clear, far-sighted judgment
which enabled him to utilize the
events preceding and during the war
that he was millionaire in few
years. Since then his operations in
railroads, telegraphs and other prop
erty have been SO far successful as
to make him unquestionably one of
the richest men in the world, and
certainly one of the most influential.
The railway millionaire has two sons,
George and Edward, who are both
directors in their fathers railway
companies. His wealth approx
mates hundred million.

Honest Money.

A well-known citizen recently
made a trip to Europe. He wished
to have some American money
changed into English money He
produced upon the counter Of an
English bank two five dollar gold
pieces, a legal tender note for five
dollars, and four dollars i'll silver.
The obliging bank clerk weighed the
gold and paid par for it, paid par
also for the legal tender note, and
pushed back the silver with the re-
mark owe are not buying bullion
now" Then followed directions as
to where the American should go to
sell his 'bullion," for silver dollars
are not recognized as money in Eng
land The American followed his
directions and realized IS cents on
the dollar for his silver dollars.
The TELEGRAPH COURIER cites
this instance only to prove a fact
which many people do not seem able
to understandable fact that we can
not pay our debts to Europe in sill
yer. We buy merchandise of them
and must pay in some way. Unless
we pay in gold or its equivalent, IN
interest bearing stocks which COM
mand ready sale in the London
markets, or in the products of our
soil, we must pay in silver. If we
have not sufficient gold We must pay
in silver If we pay in silver we lose
25 cents on a dollar, and probably
soon would lose 40 cents on dollar.
The men who want to bring the
money of this country to silver ba-
sis with 75-cent dollars as the STAN
dard would succeed in enriching the
western silver mines at terrible
cost to the country at large.
There are many signs that the
backbone of the free coinage craze
is broken. 1t has had no national
sanction from any leading party ex-
cepting the democratic, and that
sanction was not sincere but was
given for the purpose of party ad-
vantage without an idea of its being
followed oft. The poisoned virus
has been spread in the party and
now it is fact that many democrats
in every state are infected by it.
The country is learning again, in
spite of all the fallacies of imitation
lists and dreamers, that honest mon
ey is the only kind of money for an
honest people.

An Easy Rule for Measuring an Acre

To measure an acre in rectangular
form is a simple question in arith-
metlc. One has only to divide the
total number of square yards in an
acre, 4, $40, by the number of yards
in the known side or breadth to find
the unknown side in yards. By this
process, it appears that rectangular
strip Of ground:
yards wide by 968 yards long is acre.
10 yards wide by 484 yards long is acre.
20 yards wide by 242 yards long is acre.
40 yards wide by 121 yards long is acre.
50 yards wide by 604 yards long is acre.
10 yards wide by 699 yards long is acre,
so yards wide by 808 yards long is acre.

Here's a Pretty How DE Do.

The directors of the Racine coun-
ty fair association are up in arms,
and are after Secretary Dutton S
scalp. The directors claim that Dut-
ton is holding back money received
for advertising in the fair catalogue
and that they are about to begin le-
gal proceedings to 1ecover'the funds.
AS the case now stands the secretary
has kept S389.65, to apply on his
salary which is $500 per annum,
besides several thousand mile tickets.
The constitution, it is understood,
allows a secretary to take $500 on
his salary, so a demand will be made
for the remainder. and also for the
railroad tickets. The secretary has
retained legal talent, and bitter le-
gal fight is looked for. AS it is
figured by the directors to-day the
association is 5000 behind, and has
no money to pay the deficiency.
