THE STRANDED SINGERS.

Members of the Juch Opera Compapy
say They Are All Right.
The stranded Emma Juch Opera Com
pany were here all day yesterday, and at
a late hour last night were still in their
cars waiting for arrangements TO be per-
fected for their transportation north.
a visit to the train last evening found
them apparently jolly lot. They de-
clared that none of their party were
suffering, that they had sufficient money.
Some of them displayed plenty of gold
coin, and all united in declaring that they
were not in need or disturbed about
physical wants. They had food and wine
and comfortable accommodations. and
were not borrowing any trouble about
the future, whatever trouble managers,
creditors may have. They agreed also
that their salaries are of good proportions.
and that they calculated upon more or
less arrearageS.
Whether they went on or staid did not
matter much to them so far as physical
comforts were concerned.
The amusing thing about 1t was that
the orchestral leader, who made the three
strikes at the theater Sunday night and
delayed the performance until the small
hours, was foremost in denying that he

a Little officer Brings a Brawny Ras-
cal to Terms.
l.. II. Drew, one of the watchmen at the
State Capitol, was notified yesterday
afternoon that a man had been seen in
the shrubbery making an indecent ex-
hibition of himself, and the officer went
to investigate. He found a man in the
vicinity indicated, who, upon seeing the
officer, took to his heels. ran around a
block and up street, with Drew in hot
pursuit.
The fellow gave the officer a long chase.
and finally attempted TO hide in an out
house in the rear of a residence on y
street, between Eleventh and Twelfth.
Drew again started his game and grappled
with him, but the man resisted by kick
ing and slamming the door against him.
The fellow next undertook to get in the
house, and grasped a lady who stood in
the door, pushing her between himself
and the officer
Drew followed his man, and after a
lively struggle, during which he struck
the fellow on the head with a heavy re-
VolVer, ne succeeded IN bringing him to
terms and handcuffed him.
On arriving at the Police Station the
man gave his name as Charles T.. Miller.
Ills head was pretty badly cut, and was
dressed by Officers Drew and McManus.
During the chase Drew fell and cut his
knees quite badly, and was bruised bv
kicks from Miller. At one time he
almost decided To fire upon the fugitive,
but at that time Miller took refuge be-
hind a woman.
Miller is q man weighing perhaps 900
pounds while Drew is light-weight. but
he proved good Splinter and full OF
pluck.

STANDING COMMITTEES.
At the afternoon session the appoint
ment of standing committees was
taken UP. The Finance Committee was
appointed as follows: George c. Nc
Mullen, David Lubin, A. T. Allender,
Mrs. Rich and Mrs. Kerr. Sub-commit-
tees were appointed on green fruit,
dried fruit, cereals, vegetables, trees in
boxes, minerals, and art and industry.
Secretary Greer read recent bulletin
issued by the State Worlds Fair Com
mission, which contained much valuable
information regarding the preparations
going on throughout the State fer the
fair.
Mr.. Lubin said that inasmuch as Sacra-
mento was not particularly an orange
growing county, it would be good idea TO
ask Tor one-quarter of an acre of the five
acres set ont for California for the pur-
pose OF making an exhibit of Tokay
grapes on the vines-no part of the Stale
being able to cope with Sacramento in
growing that species of grapes.
Supervisor Greer said that Mr.. Lubin
was mistaken. Some sections of the
county wanted to make an exhibit OF
oranges. He thought the association
should ask for half an acre, so that both
oranges and Tokays could be shown It
was accordingly agreed to make that re-
quest.
After short discussion of the details
to be attended to the meeting adjourned.
