HINTS ABOUT THE FAIR.
Local Merchants and Manufacturer
Should be Up and Doing.

Local Merchants and Manufacturers
Should be Up and Doing.
Exhibitors at the State Fair, particularly
in the county exhibit and mechanical de-
partments, have gained quite a reputation
for forming attractive, unique and origi-
nal displays, more so than at any other
exhibition of like character in the United
States. This sentiment has often been
expressed by nonresident visitors who
have attended exhibitions of like charac-
ter, and it is q fact that the merchants of
Sacramento have been most original in
this respect. They have among them and
III their employ young men of taste and
originality, who devote much attention in
the construction of displays Of the varied
articles of trade, and they should be en-
cOuraged.
The State society could well afford to
give 500 as premium to the most oripi-
nal and attractive design. They now give
S5G; but the subject OF an increased
amount is well worth their attention.
This character of exhibits not only lends
harmony and elegance to the fairs, but
attracts the eye of the visitors, who are
enabled TO view in proper manner the
character OF goods our merchants carry
in stock, and certainly is of more benefit
to the exhibitors than if left upon shelves
or in show cases in the stores.
The tradesman has his stock presented
to the view OF many people that would
not otherwise know of the existence OF
the merchant or his goods. In other
words, it enables them to see Just exactly
the class OF goods that are carried by the
various trades-peOple.
There is certainly no question as to the
advantages offered. The merchant should
keep his goods and wares before the pub
lie constantly, as there is no telling where
a good customer may be found Nothing
attracts buyer quicker than a neat and
original display, hence merchants who
contemplate making an exhibit at the
State Fair should so construct their dis
plays as TO make them attractive in every
way.
The expense is light, as compared to
the amount of advertising they receive.
The press has always been liberal i'll it's
references to these beautiful exhibits.
The beautiful locomotive placed on ex-
hibition by a local firm here created quite
a furor some years since, and many visit
ors, especially merchants from the in
terror, came purposely see this exhibit,
and the name OF the house that caused its
construction was repeated again and
again throughout the State, as well as the
character of its business, in connection
with this unique display.
II is 10 Dc hoped that the exhibitors
this year will surprise visitors with new
designs. Several firms are at present en-
gagged upon this character of work, and
every class of industry in Sacramento
sh2uld be duly represented at the coming
exhibition. Sacramento owes it to her.
self; the merchants owe il to their GUS
toners; and those who desire and are
seeking trade should not miss the oppor-
tunity annually presented by the State
Agricultural Society to make known their
advantages.

a NEW TEAM.
Manager Gfnsberg VIII Have It on the
Ground To-day.

Manager Gfnsberg VIII Have 1t on the
Ground To-day.
Immediately after the game was de-
clared forfeited Manager Ginsberg set to
work to engage players to take the posi-
tions of the suspended men. By last
evening he had signed Veach to play first
base, Howard Huelin to play second,
McHale to catch and Shanahan to play
centerfeld.
Everybody knows who "Blll'' Veach
is, and how he can play ball when he
wants TO. GlnSberg met him last night
and engaged him to play to-day and
tomorrow. If he shows that he has not
lost his old-time science as a ball PLAYER
he WILDE signed permanently at hand
some salary.
Huelin is player who is well-known
on this coast. He played with the Stock
tons for sometime, but of late has been
working at Winters. He VIII arrive in
Sacramento this morning.
McHale's contract will probably be a
permanent one, but another catcher will
soon be signed to assist him in doing the
backstop work.
Tim Shanahan is an amateur player,
who has gained distinction by his bril-
liant out-held work. He has been play
ing with the Napa team this year. but
viii be in Sacramento in time TO play in
to-day's game.
The signing of these men makes the
team complete, and the people may rest
assured that there will be ball game to-
day.
Manager Ginsberg informed several of
the players last evening that he desired
them To select some member of the team
TO act as Captain. He also telegraphed to
Quincy, H., asking for what salaries Lut-
enberg and Murphy of that team would
play ball in Sacramento.

SAD ACCIDENT.
Hood AIston Drowned at the Swim
ming Baths.

Hood Aston Drowned at the Swim
ming Baths.
AT 2:30 o'clock yestesday afternoon
Hood Alston, boy IA years of age, was
drowned at the swimming baths. He
went to the baths with young COM
panion named Walter Haley, who is one
year younger. They had both been in
the baths each day since Tuesday, Mr..
HALEY having purchased Communication
tickets for them on that day. On Thursday
he Went with the boys and gave them
some instructions, and he says that
young Aston could swim a short dis
tance, but that the boy was rather deli
cate and not very strong.
Walter Haley says that the last he saw
OF his young companion the latter was
going along the side-rail toward the deep
water, dropping down to the bottom and
coming up and catching hold of the rail
again. to see how deep he could go. He
called out TO Walter that he had touched
bottom at eight feet. The latter went to
the other side, and while there heard an
other boy call out that a boy went
down and had not come up. In
stantly Mr.. CurtiSS, an expert diver
employed at the baths, and who was
stationed on one side to watch. threw Off
his coat and dived to the bottom. The
tank was filled with good swimmers and
divers, ana all commenced diving. Soon
Curtiss located the body, but was so ex-
hausted that he could not bring it up A
MIR. Fisher brought up the body of the
unfortunate boy moment later. It was
found in a cramped-up, sitting posture,
close to the side OF The tank, between the
eight and ten-fOot signs. His hands and
fingers were in cramped position, not
that usual with drowned persons.
Every effort was made to resuscitate the
boy, but without avail. One physician
arrived within ten minutes and two others
soon after, but their eXertions proved
futile.
The unfortunate youth was the only
son OF a widow lady who resides at GIL
j street. A lady friend took a cab and
soon had the distracted mother at the
baths, where she gave vent to her grief in
sobs that were heart-rending.
At the time the accident occurred there
were probably hundred people in and
around the tank. 1t is probable that the
youth. who was not physically strong,
was taken with a cramp, as it appears
that he made no outcry and did not rise
to the surface after going down. The
senior physician, being later asked con :
cerning the matter, expressed the opinion
that the lad had been seized with a faint
ing tit, and Mr.. HALEY, his friend, saws
that he is of the opinion that young
Alston was taken with a cramp, as tn Q
boy could swim enough to rise and cate h
the railing, if not in a faint or cramp.
The accident of course cast a gloom
over all the attendants at the baths, but it
was one for which they were in no way
responsible, and could not have pre-
vented.
Coroner Clark took charge of the body
and an inquest viii he held this evening
The funeral will take place from st. PauPs
Episcopal Church on Sunday, at 1850 a.
NJ, the lad having been member of the
choir Of that church. Young Alston
was bright and promising boy, and his
mother has the deepest sympathy of the
entire community.

WARNING TO MOTHERS
A Child's Narrow Escape From
Frightful Accident.

a Chlld'S Narrow Escape From a
Frightful Accident.
The pretty little three -year-old daugh-
ter of Eugene Petrie, the well-known
bookkeeper for James Woodburn. met
with an accident yesterday afternoon that
nearly craZed the father and mother when
they heard the first exaggerated account
of it.
Mrs. Petrie and her child were visiting
friend at Ninth and n streets, when the
little girl picked up pair of scissors and
commenced playing with them. She
knew her mother did not want her to
handle them, and in trying to escape by
running across the room she tripped and
fell.
One Of the points of the scissors entered
her left eye-socket, and the other tore
the flesh on the forehead above the eve.
Blood streamed from the wounds, and all
believed that the sight OF the little girls
eye had been destroyed. It looked as
though the eyeball had been penetrated
and torn by the steel.
Doctors were summoned immediately.
and the report of their examination
brought joy to the distracted parents.
They found that the ball of the eve had
not been injured at ALL
The point of one of the blades of the
instrument had been broken off. Fortu-
nately 1t was this one that struck nearest
the eye, and being dull it only penetrated

THAT'S THE WAY TO DO TT
a Wealthy Law-Breal<er Severely
Punished For His Acts.

Punished For His Acts.
There are not few men in the
State who believe they can 90 on,
as they have done in the past.
and trample upon the State game laws.
Over in Lake and Mendocino Counties
, the deer law has been a nullity, the Off
cials of the counties having acknowledged
that they were afraid to prosecute Offend
erS.
Now, however, things have changed
if not there, at least in other places. Ac-
cording to the Woodland MaI Green
Bartlett, the original owner of Bartlett
Springs, thought ne could bully the deer
law of Trinity County. He went out and
brought in deer, and was fined $780,
which he paid. The next day he repeated
the offenSe, but did not come off so easy.
He was fined 81 900 and sentenced to iail
for 500 days. The latter sentence was
pretty rough on man worth $500, 900, but
he had to stand it, and by the time his
500 days are out hewiu probably conclude
that the deer law is no child's play.

ABOUT FOOLS.
DIR. Henson's Funny Lecture on
Very Funny Subject.

Ut 11Ou5OII . tIIIIIJ I-GCCUF6 on q
Very Funny subject.
Rev. DR.. P. S. Henson, the noted pulpit
orator and wit of Chicago, lectured in the
First Baptist Church last evening to a
good audience. His subject was Fools -
one as broad as human folly and as full
OF opportunity for wit as any topic could
possibly be. No synopsis of the lecture
could do it adequate justice.
1t was feast of reason and flow of
humor that edited and delighted his
hearers.
DR.. Henson is a finished speaker and a
hopeful man to the verge OF radical
opumism. His diction is scholarly, his
method original and his delivery that of
the accomplished orator who knows how
to get his audience close to him. He is
vigorous, bold and unsparing, but at no
time coarse or vituperative.

An IMMIGRATION DECISION.
HOLDING THAT FEDERAL OFFICIALS ILLEGALLY
DETAINED A MAN.

Judge Benedict, in the United States District
Court yesterday handed down his decision In
Brooklyn the application OF Adolf Fem
knott for admission into the United states
as an immigrant Feinknof came to this country on
the steamship Westernland, and detained BIZ Gen
eral James n. O'Berne, the Acting Commissioner OF
Immigration and ordered to be returned TO Europe on
the euOund that lie was likely TO become a puDhc
charge. lie swore that he was forty years olu, d
native OF Austria cabinet maker. who had WORKED
twenty five years at his trade, without family win
baggage worth 900 So able to find employment, ana
willing "a work. He had never been In al almshouse
received public aid or been convicted of a crime. Gen
eral O,Eelrne had no contradctng evidence, but put
I'm the plea that lie did not believe the Immigrants
staement Feinkno sued out writ OF haDeaS corpus
In his opinion Judge Benedict refers to the testimony
and SAYS that no sufficient evidence has been presenter
to show that the immigrant likely to become charge
unon the public and says that cursory investigation
nv an nspectinc officer is not sufficient TO make legal
the detention and return of an immigrant. lie believes
that the statute warrants him in ordering the discharge
OF Peinknof, but says in his opinion "Ihe import
ance of the question in this case viii, trust induce
the Distct-Att0rney to take an appeal from this ue-
cison. and to enable him TO do so with effect, the
entry of the order for discharge VIII, upon HIS re-
ouest be delayed a reasonable time"
District Attorney johnson held that the new law
gave The C9mm sioners OF immigration absolute power
10 send back an immigrant IT, in their opinion, he was
likely TO become public charge. the peuuoher au-
mited the powers Of the Commissioners, provided they
based their decision facts and net on opinion.
Judge Benedict holds that the petitioner is right and
that it is against the spirit of our laws to give such
power as that claimed by the DistrctAuorney TO inc
Commissioners. lie fails to discover any material
difference in this gard between the laws OF 1882 and
1891, and thinks that if Congress wished to confer
such power in the latter law it would have explicitly
done So He quotes an opinion Of Associate Justice
Batchfon in the case Of an alleged criminal immi-
grant holding that the fact of his being criminal
must be shown Judge Benedict says that he will not
say that the court has right to review the decision
If the landing officers, provided that the decision Is
based on a preponderance of evidence.
There are several othe similar cases awaiting Judge
prpcedent for all the rest The cases OF twenty imni
grants on the steamship Massala come up on Wednes-
day.
