Scraps Of Police Court History Filed
Away Yesterday.
In the Police Court yesterday John Doe
opened the proceedings by pleading guilty
to having been drunk. He wanted to say
that he was from the country, and was
not familiar with the regulation dose of
Sacramento whisky, ana that it overcame
him like summer cloud; but about this
time he was recognized by the Judge as
an old offender.
THAT story is getting to be chestnut"
SAID his honor. "I'll have to raise the
price. Ten dollars or five days"
James Emerson, found guilty of va
grancy, was also recognized as menace
raIher than an ornament to society, and
ne was given ninety days in the City Jail

AN INTERVIEW.
What DIR. Shirley Says Concerning Ex-
Governor Booths Ai1ment.

What DR.. Shirley Says Concerning Ex-
Governor Booths Ai1nent.
The recent arrival of DR.. Brown. the
Massachusetts specialist, who came here
to consult in the case of Ex-Governor
Booth. having given rise to the impress
sion that DIR. Shirley had been displaced,
induced RECORD-UNION reporter to in
terview the latter on the subject, who
said:
mo, sir, 1 was not discharged by Gov
ernor Booth. l will explain my connec-
ton with his case:
before Governor Booth went East, at
his request L examined his mouth and
told him l could remove all the diseased
tissue under his tongue, that was then in
volved, without cutting. He said he
would go East and consult certain physi-
clans and specialists, and decide as to
whom he would have treat him, but that
he might return to me.
This he did on February 26th, and nv
treatment continued from that time until
his death. l explained what | could do
ior him and l did it, although it proved
more difficult than l had anticipated.
owing to an abnormal growth of bone
from the inferior maXillary bone, which
gave great trouble, but was successfully
removed. After the removal of the bone
and tissue it began to heal, and the Gov
ernor was much gratitied, but said that
on account of his family, and that his
friends might be satisfied that nothing
had been left undone that could have
been done, he would call Dr. Brown, I
readily consented. He came, examined
the case, and requested me to stop the
treatment, reduce the Inflammation.
when, on his return from San Francisco
in few days. he could make another ex-
animation.
This was on Wednesdays know
what followed.
''The day he passed away he commu-
nicated by writing that he was satisfied
with my treatment, and the last words he
wrote were, That | was fighting the dis
ease heroically and faithfuIly.'''
DIR. Shirley stated that the way he came
to be called by Governor Booth was that
he had treated friends of the latter for
similar ailments, with success.
The doctor also related an incident that
illustrates Governor Booths kindness of
heart and generosity. Two elderly broth
ers named Small called on him for treat
ment while he was in attendance on the
Governor. One had a cancer on his face:
the other, one under his tongue. DR..
Shirley said he would treat both of them,
although they had no money. Governor
Booth on learning these facts provided
them with room, and paid all expenses.
The doctor said the one whose face was
affected is now cured, and the other
nearly so.
He claims to have had great success in
his mode of treating cancer.

BALI. BAT AND BASE.
a Good Game Expected In This City
To-3Iorroy

a Good Game Expected In This City
To-3Iorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon at Agricultural
Park, the Vallejo club and the Scott d
Gilberts of this city meet for the first
time. The game viii be called at P. NJ.
The Vallejo team is one of the strongest
clubs in the State, and has defeated the
California League teams several times.
McGeayy, the elongated twirler who
pitched some fine games Tor McClosky
last season, will probably throw for the
visitors. He is pitching splendid ball
this season, and has won nearly all his
games. ''Buck" Hughes - every base
ball crank knows "Buck"-is playing
second base for the Navy Yard club, and
is putting up fine game.
The Scott & Gilberts have been greatly
strengthened lately, and the home boys
confidently expect to lower the colOrs Of
the champion Vallejos.
The game should be one Of especial in
terest, as it is the first time these clubs
have met, and it will give a line on the
merits of the different clubs.
The seats at Agricultural Park have all
been covered with canvas, and the man.
agement has spared no expense to fur
ther the comfort OF their patrons. The
price of admission is but twenty-five
cents, just half what the California
League charges, and the games are fully
as good as in the big league.
The Sacramento team has secured the
services OF Moody and Mcdonald, who
will play to-morrow-McDona at short
stop, and Moody in right field. They
will be readiness to pitch and catch, if
necessary.
