Either Gen. Weaver OF Ignatius Don
nelly would make aworthy leader for the
Peoples Party. Both of them can shout
calamity with great vigor and persis-
tence. Both of them too are more or
less cranky" But the man who ought
to lead the party in this campaign is the
Hon. Jerry Simpson of Medicine Lodge,
Kansas. Jerry would give picturesque
ness to the campaign entirely beyond
the power of either Weaver or Donnelly.

The attempt of the importers to defeat
the operation of the Mckinley tariff bill
was brought to an inglorious end yester-
day by the decision of the Supreme court
that it was constitutional in every part.
On all but the reciprocity clause this
decision was unanimous, but the two
Judges who dissented on that clause held
that even were that unconstitutional it
would not invalidate the law inasmuch
as it did not constitute a vital part of
the measure. Nothing is left now to
the importers but to pay their duties and
their lawyers.

We are inclined to think that the worst
misfortune that could befal the Hon.
Darius II. Ingraham would be his cleo
ton to the Mayoralty. He would then
have to make good some of those loose
promises of promoting the business of
the city which he and his organs are
making, OF explain to the voters why he
was not able to. That he would fail to
make them good is inevitable, SO he
would be forced to an explanation which
would be very distressing to him and to
the gentlemen who are now "whooping
up'' his candidacy.

of the courts in similar cases has ever
doubted that such would be the Supreme

pose that the highest courtin the land

SPORT At TIE BATHS.
An Immense Crowd Goods OF" in
the Big Swimming Tank.
An Exhibition Last Night Which
Pleased the Notwithstanding
About the Management.

The hot wave has caused great rush
particular they did q land Office business,
and the manager and attendants had to
work like Trojans.
Last night there was still larger crowd
OF bathers, the water being literally alive
with them. II was exhibition night"
too, and in consequence the spectators
gallery, as well as the lower floor, was
crowded also. The exhibition was an
unusually good one. To say that the inn
mense crowd went away pleased, bathers
and spectators alike, would be but half
expressing it.
The performers were Professors Dolan,
Manning and O'Toole. The first ap-
peared in clown costumes-the master OF
ceremonies explaining to the audience
! that they had just escaped from Robin
sons circus. The trio then took to the
/ lying trapeZe, and for nearly half an
hour kept the audience conVulsed
with laughter They attempted every
thing iii the circus line bat as a rule
finished the feats with q series of comical
twists and turns through the air, end
ing with resoundiag splash in the
water 10 the immense delight OF the audi
ence. The performers interSpeTsed Il few
meat" tricks now and then, which were
well received. Professors Dolan and
Manning showed to advantage IN this
/ work, as Professor O'Io0le adhered 10
the clown work.
The performers then removed their
/ comic make-ups and gave the audience q
short exhibition OF lofty diving aid
+ somersaulting which brought forth
( liberal applause from the audience.
/ " hen the exhibition was over the
/ batherS rushed Tor the water again ami
! sported about until closing-up time. The
! water was simply delightful.
There was to have been a meeting of
! the new swimming club last evening Tor
| the purpose Of elecung a permanent or
| ganization, but the water was so tempting
! that not enough Of them would leave il 10
/ constitute quorum. The meeting was
/ by general request postponed until Sum
! day morning at 1870 O'clock when there
/ Will no doubt be a large attendance.
! Despite the throng at the baths yestor-
! day and last night there was no coniu-
/ sion, nor were there any complaints that
/ suits or rooms were not obtainable. This
/ is due TO the excellent manner in which
/ the baths are managed. The attendants
/ have gained much from the experience of
last year and can handle the largest kind
! OF thrOng now. Since the completion
of the new pumping and heating plants
no trouble is experienced III keeping the
water at an even temperature, nor in
emptying and refilling the tank quickly.
4 Altogether the institution is at present
about as near perfect as it can be, and
well deserves liberal patronage.

new ENTERPRISE.
A Sacramentan Evolves New and
Mighty Scheme.
In the Field With a system of Com
munication With Mars and
Way Planets.

George II. stipp, stenographer in the
Secretary of States office, has an eye to
business. He has organized company
to be known as the ''Mars Interplanetary
transportation Company" whose articles
OF incorporation are already prepared
and contain the following statements:
1.-THE name of said corporation is the
Mars Interplanetary Transportation
Company. The purposes for which it is
formed are to build. construct, make,
maintain, operate, conduct, use, lease,
rent, acquire, deal in patents, patent
rights, inventions, devices, appliances,
methods, systems, machinery for estab-
fishing, controlling, conducting an main
tanning means of transportation and
communication for the carrying of goods,
wares, merchandise, persons and mes
sages between the earth, the moon, the
planet Mars and other members of the
planetary system and their several
satellites; to establish, maintain and
operate in connection Herewith telegraph
and telephone lines and other systems OF
communication; to borrow and loan
money, hypothecate its real and personal
property, and conduct a system OF
money interchange with the inhabitants
of said planets.
The company has the modest capital
stock of S25, 000,0 100000, divided into .,
100000 shares Of the par value of 81 ,00C
each. The President of the company is
Jay Lunar Tick, and a. Chappa Relli
Secretary. Mr.. Stipp will be the Gen
eral Manager, and will have the appoint
ment OF operators at the relay stations
along the proposed line Of communities
ton. He is now ready to file applica-
tions for such appointments. Applicants
must also file affidavits showing good
moral character, and give bonds in the
sum of 100000 each not to take ad-
vantage Of their exalted positions to flirt
with adult angels that may pass their
way. MIR. Stipp thinks that possibly he
may find it advisable to appoint only
young ladies TO these positions, as there
is no record of the existence Of angels OF
the male persuasion Except infants, and
these never grow up, and therefore he
would have no trouble with his operators.
Due notice Will be given OF the opening
of the line, and in the meantime the
manager will receive bids for restaurant
privileges along the route.
Since the above was put in type it is
rumored that the Traffic Association OF
San Francisco is at the bottom of the
scheme,

OAK PARK STARTLED.
A Mirage Appears and Triples the
Size Of The Village.
1t Was a Startling Vision = General
MARITIME Saw 1t and Was a
Trifie Scared.

Persons who happened to ride out
Thirty-first street on the electric cars
Wednesday evening about o'clock wit
messed most startling scene. 1t was a
mirage, and those who saw it say
it was one Of the most realistic and awe
inspiring they ever beheld.
The phenomenon was first visible when
the cars crossed the R-street Ievee.
Just back OF Oak Park, where the fiat
fruit lands extend for miles to the south,
there appeared TO be high, sloping mount
aims, green with grass and timber, and
for quite distance up from the base
could be seen houses, churches and other
structures. 1t looked as if Oak Park had
been enlarged about three-fod.
To persons who lived at Oak Park, the
addition to their little village had a most
unnerving effect They could not under
stand 1t, ana asked all sorts OF questions
General MARITIME witnessed the Dhe-
nomena from one Of the cars and told a
RECORD UNION reporter about it yester-
day. " by, l got somewhat fright

same, and it did not disappear until
we were well into the park. 1t was a
grand sight, and after my alarm wore oft
! enjoyed gazing at it very much, as did
the other passengers"
The General reels quite confident that
the buildings seen on the hill were not a
reelection OF those in Sacramento CITY.
He believes the mirage was reflection
OF some mountain town, many miles from
here.

But Calffornians Managed TO Get
Along Comfortably.
Yesterday was a scorcher all over the
coast, especially in the interior 1t was a
red-hot day, even for the middle of Au-
gust, and the way humanity did per-
spire was a caution.
Even here in Sacramento, which is the
coolest interior spot north of the Te-
hachapi Mountains, the mercury sue
ceeded in climbing up to the 1862 mark.
although in the business office OF the
RECoBD-UNION it was only 90. The
range at the Weather Bureau was from
6F IN the morning to the aforementioned
figures in the afternoon.
one year ago yesterday the tempera-
ture was from 00' to $50, and one year AGO
to-day from go TO So.
Owing to the dryness of the atmos-
phere away from the seacoast. even the
heat Of yesterday did not have any iniu-
1ious effect ON man or beast, and people
continued al their usual labor without
special discomfort. Such extreme heat
IN the East, however, where there is more
humidity in the atmosphere, would have
resulted in thousands Of cases Of prostra-
ton.

BROKE HIS THIGH
Accident to a Child of DR.. Mckee of
Elk Grove.

Accident TO Child of DR.. Mckee of
Elk Grove.
While the family of DR.. Mckee of Elk
Grove were visiting in San Francisco on
Tuesday the Doctors little three-year-old
son met with a painful and serious acct
dent, one that may cripple him for life,
even though it should not prove fatal.
1t appears that Mrs. Mckee and the
child were walking by the Golden Rule
Bazaar, on the Geary-street side. where n
trap-door had been LEFT open in the side
walk, and through it the child fell to the
floor of the basement.
Beside numerous other injuries the
little fellows left hip was fractured, and
1t is by no means certain that he will
survive.
Dr. Mckee was absent in the country
when the telegram announcing the acct
dent was received at Elk Grove. but
managed to get it in time to meet his
family here on Wednesday morning. DR..
White was called to treat the little suf-
ferer, and the hope of the community is
that the child may recover.
