WHY THEY WANTED HER
Not Because She Was Handsome Nor
Because Her Pa Was Rich

Because Her Pa Was Rich.
There was rejoicing in the McGilway
household, such rejoicing as is rarely
known, save when there's a boy baby
born or papa's named q winner. Cook
forgot to be cross and the parrot III the
| front window sang sweet nOthingS I'M
mOleSted to the small boys on the fence
Down in his Office Pa McGilway
winked his matrimonial eye. In my
lady's chamber was the busy hum Of the
sewing machine and the eternal chatter
OF the dressmaker with her mouth full of
pins.
IN the train coming home from college
was Abbie, the daughter of the house, the
pride of her father and the Joy of her
mothers heart. Dear, clever Abbie, a
baby yesterday, it seems to them, and yet
to-day woman grown, graduated from
college and coming home with hOnOrS
heaped upon her.
But not for long was darling Abbie
coming to make glad the hearts of her
parents and to cause the home of her
childhood to bloom like a sweet syringa
bush with her presence.
In that long, cool parlOr, where the
white lace curtains nuttered in the June
breeze and great punches of June roses
waited to challenge the coming girl to
the test of rival sweetness, there sat that
day IN silence ten young men. With
ldtS III nand, ali save one, were Dredtn-
ing soulful maledictiOns against the 9TH
ers for being nearer the door than they.
Since early morn they had sat there
waiting the return Of her at whose feet
were to be laid the ten hearts and the ten
fortunes here represented.
She was not so beautiful a girl, this
coming queen, nor yet was Pa McGil-
way SO rich man. 1t was the fame of
Abbie's graduating essay that had served
as a lure to the most eligible men in
town, explains the New York CONNER

To-Day and To-Morrow,s Games

The Sacramentos and San Franciscos
viii play ball this afternoon and to-mor-
row also, but as to who the pitchers are
to be, it is difficult to say. McCloskey
went over to Stockton yesterday to try to
get Perrott, but could not find him. He
will sign Sommers as soon as Oakland
releases him.
1t is barely possible that Goodenough
or some other player in the team will
pitch to-day's game. Goodenough used
TO be good pitcher, but if he tries his
hand at it to-day he ought to depend for
effectiveness entirely on speed He can
hit more batters in one inning than any
pitcher on the coast, and the players are
all afraid of him when he pitches.

FOR THE FAIR.

Visitors Already Coming In-Tulare'S
Big Tree on Hand.
Preparations for the State Fair, which
is to commence on Monday next, were in
full blast yesterday at both Park and Pa
vilion. Exhibitors are getting move'
on themselves at last, and at the present
rate of progress things ought to be in
very good shape by the opening day; but
there will doubtless be the usual number
of laggards who will not have their dis
plays ready before Monday night or Tues
day.
The mammoth SeGlofa gigu1atea tree
from Tulare's grove, and which is to form
part Of that county's exhibit, arrived
last evening, and is now piled up in sec
tions at the freight depot. The pieces are
about eight feet in hight, and consist of
sections of the bark and a rim of the
wood two or three inches in thickness.
These sections are eight in number, and,
as near as the reporter could judge Of
their size in the darkness, they should
form hollow stump fifty or sixty feet i'll
circumference.

the art gallery arrived yesterday, and

A story connected with Jerrold's short
period OF naval service may we'll find a
place here, On one occasion as mid
shipman, having gone ashore with the
captain, Jerrold was left Tor time In
charge Of the boat, While the captain
was away two of the men asked for
permission to go and buy something,
Permission was given by their youth,
full and too good natured officer, who
added:
by the way, you might as well buy
me some apples and a few pears"
"All right, sir" said the men, and of
they went,
The captain returned, but not the
men; search was made for them, but
they were not to be found; they had
deserted, aud Midshipnan Jerrold was
in sad disgrace. The event made a
lasting impression upon him, so deep a
one that he declared he could recognize
the deserters at any time, as indeed he
did, Some thirty years afterward, us
he was passing along the Strand, the
ex-midshipman was struck by the ap'
pearance of bakers man who was
looking into a shop window; he walked
up to him, and rapping him sharply on
the back, said;

you've been rather long time about
