VIOLATING TIE Law.
Shameful Destruction of Doves During
the Breeding Season.

Shameful Destruction of Doves During
the Breeding Season.
That there are creatures in this civilized
community who have no regard for either
the laws of the State or the common die
tates of humanity is evident from the fact
that not few persons have been detected
in the shameful and unlawful practice of
shooting doves during this their breeding
season. The birds are now either hatch
ing or have already Matched out their
first little broods and it is a shame and
sin To kill them and leave the little ones
TO starve, but it is being done every day
and that, too, in defiance of the law.
The latter attempts TO give protection
TO doves till the lst ofJuly, but it protects
them very little, for nobody seems dis
posed to cause the arrest of those who
violate the law. AS q matter of fact the
law should protect the doves until the lst
of August, by which time the young
birds can take care Of themselves.
A gentleman who has lately travelled
over the lower Stockton road, and also
through "Greenback' lane, in the north
ern part Of the county, says he saw par
ties shooting doves in all directions. In
each township there are local Constables,
and it is their duty TO see that all laws are
observed, or violators thereof arrested
and prosecuted.
1t behooves the Supervisors to call some
ofthese township figure-heads to account
for their dereliction OF duty, for it is a
rare thing for Constable to arrest any
person for violating the game law.
If, however, any person having knowl-
edge of violations of this kind will report
the facts to the District Attorney or to the
Humane Society, such lawlesS lndiVidu-
ais Will be vigorously prosecuted.

HANDBALL TOURNAMENT.
Opening Games at the Sacramento
Athletic Clubs Rooms.
Several Spirited Contests Witnessed
The ''Favorites'' Win In Each In
stance-To-NigEt's Games.

The Sacramento Athletic Clubs second
annual handball tournament was COM
menced at the clubs gymnasium last
evening.
There were quite number of lady and
gentlemen visitors in attendance, who en-
joyed the contest very much. The con-
tests were quite spirited, and demon
strated that the club has developed some
splendid players since the last tourna-
ment.
The first game was between Yoerk and
McClatchy VS.. Nicolaus and A. II eilbron.
Goerk and McClatchy, who finished sec
ond in last years tournament, won both
games. In the first one, Nicolaus and
Hebron gave them hard rub, but the
score closed q to Is in favor of the veter-
ans. Their score in the second game was
q to5.
Flint and Dwyer were scheduled to
meet Ludden and Maloney next, but as
one man was missing from each team, the
game was postponed until this evening
kleinsorge and o. Heilbron were then
pitted against Berger and German. The
latter team is one of the best the club has,
and many believe that they will capture
the first prize. Kleinsorge and Heilbron,
however, proved that they had been

they lost both games, they acquit-
ted themselves with credit. The first
game between those two teams was very
exciting, and kept the audience continu-
ally applanding. Some very clever plays
were made on both sides. The score at
the finish stood Il TO Is in favor of Berger
and German. The score of the second
game was u to II.
The last contests were between Payen
and Watt and Smith and Bliss. Payen
and Watt proved TO be considerable OF a
surprise. Both are excellent players.
especially Payen. This young mans
serving and agility during the rapid
plays were greatly admired. Smith and
Blisss are good players, too, but Payen's
serving was little too much for them.
The tournament Will be resumed this
evening, when the opposing teams will
be: Ioerk and McClatchy VS.. Berger and
Gorman; Nicolaus and A. Heilbron VS..
Payen and Watt; Flint and Dwyer VS..
kleinsorge and 0. Heilbron; Pope and

The club has cordially invited its

The celebrated authoress, SO highly es-
teemed by the women of America, says
on pages lob and AS of her popular work,
Ewes daughters; or, Common Sense for
Maid, Wife and Mother':
''For the aching back-should it be

excellent comforter, combining the sem

SOMEBODY'S SKULL.
It Was Found in the American River
Sands.
The CHASTITY Discovery Made by a
Couple of Lads While Out
for Boating.

A young man named II. L. Allen, son
of Captain Allen, of the river steamboat
service, brought to the RECORD UNION
Office yesterday human skull. He said
he found it partially buried in the sand
on the edge of an island in the overflow
on the north side of the American River,
about mile beyond where the stream
debouches into the Sacramento.
Young Allen and companion were out
boating, it seems, when they discovered
the skull. They went up the old channel
of the American River, starting from the
Pioneer Mill, to a point about opposite
Twelfth street, and then struck out north
ward across the river into the overflowed
section. Allen thinks the spot where the
skull was found was on the Haggin
Grant, but says he is not certain Of that
On the island is a Chinese vegetable
patch.
Scattered around in the vicinity of the
skull were number of small bones,
which Allen thinks We're parts of the
skeleton OF the body to which the head
longed
The skull is in splendid state of
preservation. It's color is of a chocolate
brown, as though it had been buried in
ClIe edIlu una ndu not long been exposed
to the bleaching influences of the sun and
air. The lower jawbones were missing,
but the upper portion was intact, even to
the teeth, except that the two front ones
were gone.
Whether the skull is that of white
man or Chinaman can only be deter
mined by an expert in such matters, but
apparently it is that of white man, as
| there is nothing to indicate the receding
forehead and high cheek bones OF the
Asiatic race. Indeed, the contour of the
skull appears to be perfect, and indicates
that its pOssesSor was level-headed per-
son.
1t is idle to speculate on the possibili-
ties OF how the skeleton got there. 1t
may be that Of some person drowned in
the American River, whose body had
been washed down and finally buried by
the heavy deposits OF sand and slickens
coming from the mountains, to be again
uncovered by the recent freshet. Or, it
may be the skull of some one murdered
and buried out there; but there is little
likelihood Of its pedigree ever being
satisfactorily established.

stantiated that part of the story.
Cogar swore that Erskison had been
living with his (Cogar's) wife, having
aiienated her from himself. He heard
the woman was sick, and asked Erskison
a number Of times where she was and adj
vised him to leave her alone. This Frs
kison refused to do, and Cogar acknowl-
edged to having struck him and kicked
him once, but thought he would have
been justified in doing more.
Cogar is not considered quarrelsome
man, and has hitherto borne good repu-
tation.
The court instructed the jury to pre-
pare verdict of simply guilty or not
guilty, and the case was submitted. The
jury returned verdict of guilty.

The Lair of the "Twofer.

In the language of the plebe1an
smoker a cigar which is retailed at the
modest rate of two for cents is known
as ga twofer."
It is hardly necessary to remark that
this brand of weed is bad-exactly how
bad it would be difficult to express in
words - and it's production affords
moderately honest employment to
divers foreigners in the lower part of
the city.
The italian is particularly fond of
this line of business and in the esta-
blishment of Antonio Pasini, who
makes "cigari Italiani" on Mulberry
street, one may see a typical "twofer"
mill.
Sig. Pasini's two assistants toll in a
gloomy basement and turn out several
hundred alleged cigars daily.
They are, guided in their task by the
debilitated rays of two wobbly kero-
sene lamps and as the light is not
favorable to accurate work some of the
cigars are shaped like sections of lead
pipe and others look like young pine
cones.
The leaf which is nodded into these
models of symmetry springs from the
| 1lSlUS VI SOuhCSIASuI
and to describe it as the Flor de
| Shepang would be both accurate and
poeticaI. 1t has a four-horse-power
strength, grain like a Brussels carpet
and exhales an odor like burning oil
cloth.
AS the cigars are completed they are
adorned with gilded bands and packed
in boxes of fifty.
They are then left to mildew in the
cellar until an order arrives. In the
winter The Lonely Six and the Gentle
mems Sons of the Sth Ward are Sig
Pasini's principal patrons: His wares
are placed on sale at their balls and
other public festivities, where it is con.
sidered de rigeur to hold an unlightec
cigar lightly between the teeth while
waltzing.
In the summer Sig. Pasini's che
d'9uvres reward the expert marksma1
