Mr.. Keene has achieved distinguished
successes in tragedy; his progress has
been steadily ascendant, and his pains
taking and studious habits have brought
him the reward that genius and devotion
to high dramatic art deserve. We re-
member Mr.. Keene just prior to
his leaving the stock COM
panies, and beginning the study
that has resulted in placing him

Booth and the return OF James to melo-
drama and lower planes OF dramatic art,
put him foremost among the artists oi
America. During his progress Mr..
Keene was not without adverse criticism
as to his methods, and none more than
he was aware of their justice; but unless

THE OAK PARK WE'LL.
1t is Still Throwing Out a Million
Gallons Day.

Several thousand people visited the ex-
perimental well at Oak Park yesterday to
taste the water that is being pumped from
it at the rate Of more than l,000,00 gal
Ions daily. They found the water to be-
so far as looks and taste could determine
perfectly pure.
1t is as clear as crystal, as soft as the
river water, if not softer. and without the
slightest disagreeable taste. Indeed, il
was declared by ali to be of as delicious a
quality as any they had ever drank.
There is a big stream constantly run
ming from the pump. 1t is discharged
through six-inch pipe, the same as that
through which the pump is fed from the
bottom of the well, and completely fills
the pipe.
1t is the unanimous belief that few
such wells will be capable Of supplying
the city with more water than the people
can consume, and of finer quality than
any large city on the coast can boast Of
A quantity thas been forwarded to the
State Analyst at Berkeley, and a report

Death Again Breaks the Ranks of the
Old-Tfme Citizens.
1t was not generally known until Sat-
urday last that on the preceding day oc-
Cured the death of Sidney Smith, one OF
the oldest and most highly esteemed citi-
zens of this city, at the advanced age of IS
years. Since 1858 the deceased had been
closely identified with the interests of
Sacramento, and no history of the city or
county would be complete without more
or less of reference to him.
Sidney Smith was born in Canaioharie
County, n. Y, his father being Anthony
Smith, farmer. While the subject of
this sketch was child the family re-
moved to Rome, n. Y, and in 1916 to
Whiting, Vt. Here he was employed at
l3 years of age as a clerk in a country
store. subsequently he was employed
| by different firms in Troy and New York
| City until 1880, when, in company with a
fellow-clerk, he established the drygoods
| house of Smith, Peck Il Co. in Troy. In
| 1874 he returned to the old home in Yer
mont. where he remained until 1853.
In l849 his brother, A. P. Smith, came
/ to California and purchased from General
Sutter the fifty acres of land just east of
this city and bordering on the American
River, where afterward f1ouri shed the IA
nous Smiths Gardens" one of the
most highly cultivated places in the State.
| He visited the East in 1858, and his
| brother the deceased) returned with him.
| They opened store on j street. where
DR.. Simmons office building now stands,
which was conducted by Sidney, while
his brother devoted himself to the farm
and nursery, which became so valuable
that in 1855 they refused an offer from a
member of the firm of Booth 81 Coz of
$4,000 for it. But the great floods OF
4 1861 81 virtually destroyed the place.
In 1856 Sidney Smith visited Troy and
returned with his wife, to whom he was
married in 1888, and who survives him.
Their daughter was married to Major
G. II. Hubbard of this city, but died
several years ago. A. P. Smith has been
dead for several years. For sixteen years
past Mr.. aud Mrs. Smith had made their
home at the Mansion House in this city.
Deceased was a man of benevolent
nature, but only his more intimate friends
were aware of his many and unostenta-
| tious benefactions. He avoided pub
/ licity in all things, and the later years of
his life, especially, were passed in the
| quietest possible manner. He died en-
joying to the fullest extent the love and
esteem of all that knew him.

SAN JOSE, Nov. pa large crowd wit
messed the two games here to-day, be-
tween San Jose and Sacramento, the
former winning both. The score of the
first game was to 0, and the second 8to2.
In the second game McHale was able to
resume his place as catcher. Parrot
pitched in the first game and was batted
all over the field.
The second game was an exciting one.
Hustln was put in the box and did fairly
well. The San Joses won by punching
their hits. Sacramento played poorly in
the fourth inning. Following are the
scores of the games:

Ward Wasn't In 1t.

There was large crowd at Browns
Comique on Saturday evening expecting
to witness long and scientific glove con-
test between Charles Turner (colored) of
this city and Billy Ward of San Fran
cisco.
The men were evenly matched as to
size, but there all similarity ended. Tur-
ner punched Ward on the nose two or
three times in the first round, and the
latter had just strength enough to stagger
back to his corner.
Another punch or two in the second
round laid him on his back, and the fight
ended.
