Marked Instead of IN

Two rough looking men, Henry
Miller and John Howard, who ap-
peared as if they had long known a
tramp's life, appeared at Villanueva's
pawn shop on DOlOrosa aud Laredo
streets this morning and wanted
to pawn a whole armful of carpen-
ters' tools, chisels, etc.
The tools were all good, and or be.
ing closely examined by the apprais-
er, the name of G. J. Marvin was
found stamped in small letters
on all of them. The dealer made the
men wait awhile, meanwhile sending
for the police. When several officers
arrived, the case was laid before
them and the men were taken in Gus
tody on suspiciol. On making IL
quiries G. J. Marvin and j. w.
Marvin were found to be carpenter
who were working on Mr.. Pancoast's
new house on King William street.
They identified the tools and the M n
were committed for theft and: an a.

being in the brush in a small tri-
angular lot corner Turner, Washing

site A. F. Wulf's residence. 1t was
broken open and the tools that were
left were scattered about generally.
Many were missing, but ..all have

TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
The w. c. T. L. in Session-Lecture b.
Major G. A. Hilton

The w. c. t. L. in Session-Lecture by
Major 6. A. Hilton.
The County Convention of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union met yester-
day afternoon at the Sixth-street NJ. E.
Church. 1t was slimly attended.
The afternoon was devoted to q Bible
talk, or reading, conducted by Major
George A. Hilton, of Washington. In
the evening the gentleman lectured on
the subject of ''DelusiOns Demolished" to
small audience, chiefly composed of
ladies.
He is an out-and-Out prohibitionist; and
said that if high license would reduce the
four hundred saloons in Sacramento to
two hundred he would still oppose il, be-
cause it would be necessary to issue
licenses to the remaining two hundred.
He, like other prohibitionists, predicts
that "Some day. there will not be a sa-
loon in all the land, but ventured no opin-
ion as to now that condition of affairs
would be brought about.
To shut up the low dives, he said. was
beginning at the wrong end-he wanted
the high dives shut up; and he declared
that 1t was not the low dives that bred
drunkards. All of which shows that
Major Hilton does not understand his
subject, at least when he attempts to
make his theories fit the facts as they ex-
ist in California.
He denounced people who played either
faro or progressive euchre as gamblers
one as much as the other, and said that
all gamblers are thieves, because they
steal everything they win, on the princi-
pie that they get something for nothing.
Major Hilton is very forcible speaker,
and an enthusiast in the cause of temper
ance and reiiglon-so much so that he
can see no good in any plan for the cor
rection of evil that does not conform to
his rigid theory Of what is right
At 10 o'clock to-day the convention will
open with devotional exercises by Mrs.
Carley, to be followed by an address of
welcome and response. A discussion of
Our New Law" viii conclude the morn
ing session.
At P. NJ. there will be Bible reading
by Major Hilton, followed by reports of
Locals and Superintendents In the
evening Major Hilton will lecture.

SWIMMING BATHS.
They viii Be Erected at Twenty-frst
and 0 Streets.
The Board of Directors Determine to
Push the Excellent Work
Immediately.

The meeting of the Board of Directors
OF the Sacramento Swimming Bath Asso-
cation was held last evening, and great
deal of business was transacted. 1t was
decided that sufficient stock had now
been subscribed to warrant the directors
in purchasing a site and erecting the
baths at once. The question of the loca
ton of the baths has been dis
cussed long and earnestly at a
number of meetings of the board.
Some forty-fve different sites were
offered, and the merits of each were
thoroughly canvassed. Some of the di
rectors favored a site in the very center
of the city, but there was not a sufficient
amount of stock taken to warrant the
purchase of a lot at the high figures
asked.
After a thorough canvass of all the
propositions and the advantages Of each,
the board decided to purchase the lot
offered by Jacob Gebert, on the corner of
Twenty-hrSt and o streets. Mr.. Gebert
sells the lot to the association for $1,000,
and takes $1,000 in the stock of the asso-
citation.
Many persons who are interested in
different sites will no doubt be disap-
pointed at the selection made, which
would have been the case had any other
location been decided upon. There is no
doubt, however, but that the board has
selected the very best location possible,
all things taken into consideration, and
that its action will be heartily approved
by large majority of the stockholders.
The site selected is easily accessible
from each of the street-car lines. The
electric road runs within two blocks of
it, while MF.Gafey- already has one line
running directly past the door on o street,
and Will soon have another line COM
pleted through Twenty-hrst street. 1t is
in thickly-settled portion of the city,
and, therefore, large number OF people
viii not be compelled 10 use the street
car lines at all in order to visit the baths.
The lot is high and the drainage from it
excellent. The board has also been able
TO make very satisfactory arrangements
with Mr.. Gebert for supply of well
water and steam.
A committee swas appointed to at once
procure plans and specifications and re-
celve bids for the erection of the baths,
and the committee was instructed to use
all possible dispatch in these matters, so
that the baths can be opened to the public
at the earliest date possible.
Most of the stock has already been de-
Hyeped TO the stockholders, some of whom
have paid up in full.
THE board ordered an assessment of
twenty per cent. on the stock, and in
structed the Secretary to collect it at once
1t is now estimated that the baths can
be erected and ready for use by the mid
die of July. They will be blessing to
the city and one which will be greatly
appreciated by all classes.

Another Branch Opened by the Y.
w. c. Association.
The class in dressmaking at the Young
Women's Christian Association began
operations last night under the direction
OF proficient teacher, Madame Swill-
ing, who has kindly donated her services
for the next three months. The madame
is one of the old regime artists who
served an apprenticeship of three years
under Worth in Paris. 1t is said she is
the only person on this coast who teaches
the French muslin system Of cutting and
fitting.
The ladies of the association feel greatly
indebted to her and also to local sewing
machine agency for its donation Of SIS
machine.
1t is the object of the association not
only to establish a school of instruction
in all the practical branches, such as
music, cooking, sewing, physical culture,
etc, but to make comfortable and beau
tiful home, where girls may come at any
time from 8 A. NJ. to 9 P. NJ, and find the
best class of literature to read. music to
entertain them, and a place to rest, if
worn and weary with the cares and bust
ness of the day.
Their library is now being fitted up,
and books and periodicals are solicited.
1t is hoped by those who have under
taken this good work that those who have
not already been waited upon by the
Finance Committee will meet them with
kind hearts and open purses in this most
worthy cause.
