SACRAMENTO MARKET.
Good Quality of Fruits Coming in More
Freely.
SAcRAMENTo. JuIy I'D.

SACRAMENTO July 22d.
The stringency in the local market which
has ruled the past few days as regards Fruits
may be said to be over, the receipts to-day OF
Crawford Peaches, Pears ana Plums being
quite large and the quality far above the av-
erage. 1t has also been the means OF decline
IL prices. Raspberries are about done for the
season. in this section being at an end. Straw
berries are not so plentiful as last week, while
Blackberries are in supply equal TO all de-
mands. Watermelons and Cantaloupes are
plentiful.
There is at present no 4 arth in the market
so far as Vegetables are concerned, receipts of
most all varieties being fully up TO the de-
mand.

MURDER And BLACKMAIL,
The Objects of a Chinese Highbinder
Society Disclosed.
The Books and Records of the Bing
Hong Tong Translated-Levy-
ing Tribute.

Since the capture of the books and par
aphernalia ofthe Bing Hong Tong High
binder Society the police have been max
ing some Investigations, which have de-
veloped startling state Of affairs.
Chief Rodgers and officer Higgins en-
ployed an interpreter to go through the
books and explain to them the workings
OF the organization. This investigation
showed that the order was virtually an
association of Chinese, whose main OBJ
jects are murder and blackmail.
The Bing Hong Tong according to the
books, is only four months old in Sacra-
mento and has l3S members. The oath
that the members are required to take is,
according TO the interpreter, about as fol-
lows: Il enter the Bing Hong Tong and
promise to regard each member as a
brother and the closest relative 1 know.
If called upon by our society on neces-
sary business, l will not inquire whether
1t Is concerning any relative of mine, or
whether he is of my family name, or
whether he he my brother, but promise
TO go out into the street and fight and fire
pistols. L Will obey all signs or signals of
the high men IN our society and come up
to help whenever called on to fight, no
matter II the enemy is ofmy family name.
L Will never betray our society nor tell
our signs, and II anyone does SO l will
XIII him IN the secret street or in some
outside place. | will work for our society
so we will make plenty of money and go
to China to the land OF our ancestors. l
know that if l refuse to fight when or
dered the great god Shing will punish
me, and | am afraid of being punished
by him."
Every Chinese woman leading life of
shame is required to contribute 81
month toward the support of the society,
and If they fail they must beware. The
bylaws also contemplate the levying of
tribute upon the tan and lottery games,
and members have the privilege Of
gambling and collecting winnings and
refusing to pay losses. Game-keepers
are warned not to object to this practice,
under penalty Of assassination. All per-
sons who submit to the Society'S impoSi-
tions are promised immunity and even
protection in other matters. All Chinese
are warned by the society not to take any
members place of employment for less
compensation than the said member re-
ceived, the usual death penalty being at
tached in cases of nOn-cOmplying.
The Bing Hong Tong is presided over
by sort of Board Of Directors, fourteen
in number, and their names, as they ap-
pear on the books in the hands of the
police, are as follows: Lucy Ding, Don
Kin Wah, Ching Dung How, Len Kue,
Fong Hong, Lucy Yee Wut, Wang Kan,
Lucy Sing Chung, Fong Yuoah Wung,
Yee Wing, Fong Wing Quong, Wong
jim Kue, Nah Guen Lung and Dun
Shun Hing.
The police believe they have broken up
the Bing Hong Tong, temporarily at
least, and strenuous efforts will be made
to prevent it's reorganization.

did not turn out to see it, evidently pre-
ferring to save their half-dollars for some
show which will have the advantage of
hailing from the East, though inferior to
the one given. The athletes did not clear
their expenses. But, notwithstanding
this, they had good time and enjoyed
the excursion immensely.
a detachment of the athletes went to
Nevada City the next morning at the
earnest request of the officers of the ath-
letic club in that thriving little mining
city, and gavean entertainment Saturday
night. This was in striking contrast
with the Auburn affair. The Nevada
City people turned out by the hundreds.
and gave the boys a royal re-
ception. The performance was plendid
one-the Nevada City folks declaring that
it was the best of the kind they had ever
been treated to. They have a first-class
club Of their own, with plenty of promis-
ing material, and the members are very
enthusiastic in their healthful sport.

ReNiNal Meetings.

EDS. RECoRD-UNION: We are informed
through your columns of the near an
proach Of one B. Fay Mills, an evangelist.
His coming among the good and bad peo-
pie of Sacramento is for the purpose of
Saving the sOuls'' of all those who have
not previously made that provision, also
to strengthen the zeal and patch up the
faith of those found wavering.
am not pleased with the coming of
Mr.. Mills. | don't think he is the kind
of missionary who can do us most good.
Religious beliefs, formed from hereditary
tendency and education, though incor-
rect, are entitled To respectful considera-
ton, but religious excitement, induced
bv undue persuasion and methods of
diplomacy for wholesale impromptu con-
versions, does not seem to me a wise pro-
ceeGing. The methods of revivalists of
religion are not plain TO all. They come
heralded as almost supernatural beings
more than humanity endowed, exciting
awe and reverence in the minds OF their
followers. Let me impress upon such
that they are simply human beingS-nO
more, no less-engaged in maintaining
an existence.
There are{ some questions which have
worried and puzzled man for ages, and
will probably continue to do so for ages
10 come. There is a limit TO human in
telligeuce, and when we determine ques-
llttiS lGN Ollu It's IGtlAll. We dA6 lCStSOillllS
on an absurdity. 1t is not intrequently
the case that upon questions which we
know the least we are the most positive.
All the many religious beliefs and
variations of beliefs have their positive
adherents. This proves that very great
manyof them m ust be in error. Who is
to decide which one is correct? Onques
tions of this character, involving the
origin and destiny OF man, is It not more
discreet for US TO say: 1--WE do not
know"
Let US rather study those principles of
conduct which viii conduce most to our
well-being here, instead of dealing with
an existence OF which we have no real
knowledge.
Let us take up the actual one of which
we know, and do well the part assigned
10 us, trusting that If We are subjects of
an all-wise, an adjust and all-good be.
ing- He will deal with us in an aIl-Wise
ond alI-iust manner. The finite bup1an
way ascribed to hIm, by most religions.
Demanding "An eye for an eve and a
tooth for tooth,'' is but the invention of
man. Such feelings as envy, jealousy
apJ revenge would hardly enter into the
consideration of an infinite being. of in
1inife goodness, consequently any little
ran,issness OF reverence and obedience on
oI,r mart would hardly be Of any moment
TO him.
It is enough for the wise 10 know that
a close observance of the most approved
ways of man receives the greatest reward.
The record-union., 1892-06-06

Let us study, so far as we know, nature
laws. Let us think on humanity's needs,
and what Will best relieve them. Let US
gather together and teach man to live
more simple, more honest and more in
dependent. Let us free him from vanity
and foolish pride, and Ill him with a
wisdom which will teach him 'modera-
ton in all things and with desire for
freedom from the ancient traditions and
superstitions ofignorance and bigotry.
The result of all religious excitement
is about the same. People go because
others are going; they enjoy getting to-
gether in masses. Then there is a strange
fascination TO study the effects and ways
OF men under peculiar conditions. The
music is emotional, the preaching is
emotional the feelings of man, not his
mind, are appealed to. One person be-
comes excited and hysterical; it becomes
contagious, and weak, uncontrolled per-
sons give up TO the excitement, do as the
preacher says and think they are going
TO Christ" as an old negro woman once
said at a camp-meeting when she started
up tree.
Coming TO Christi is simply doing
Of something which, however vague, they
conceive at the time as being the
greatest thing they can do for their future
welfare, consequently often brings about
1eelIng OF delight. 1t Is a complete sur
rendering OF the will and blind admis-
sion TO something without the ordinary.
AS soon as the excitement is over, the
meetings and singing abandoned, there is
relapse back into natural grooves, and
gradually the spell disappears, often leav-
ing the individual with less faith than

pulse and human idea. Let us be good;
let us do the right we know, not only for
ourselves, but because it helps every
other living thing to advancement and
welIbeing.
