MILITARY ELECTION.
Robert Warren Chosen Captain of the
Woodland Company.

Woodland Democrat, December 29th.1
The meeting of Company F, held Thurs
day evening, for the purpose Of electing a
Captain to till the vacancy resulting from
the promotion OF Captain Cursor to
Major, and banquet in honor of Major
Cursor, will long be remembered by the
members and visitors present as one of
the most pleasant and entertaining affairs
ever given under the auspices of the COM
pany.
The company, about fifty strong, as
sem bled in the ArmOry Hall at o'clock,
and on the arrival of the train extended
the visiting officers cordial welcome.
The visitors were Colonel j. w. Guthrie,
Captain and Inspector Edgar NJ. Sheehan
OF Sacramento, and Captain +. p. Tuttle
of Company D of Auburn, the baby
company of the regiment
The election was conducted by Captain
Sheehan, who called the company to or
der at 8 o'clock.
After the reading of the orders from
headquarters. directing that an election
be beld, Captain Sheehan announced that
nominations were in order. Second Lieu
tenant Ii. u. Prindle placed the name of
Lieutenant Robert Warren before the
company, and he was unanimously
elected. Lieutenant Prindle was then
advanced to the rank of First Lieutenant
to succeed Lieutenant warren, and Sec
ond Sergeant ohm Ward was the unan-
nous choice for Second Lieutenant.
The election passed off harmoniously,
and was entirely satisfactory to the COM
pany. Captain Sheehan, Colonel Guthrie
and Captain futile each offered a few re-
marks on military matters, which were
gladly listened to with much attention
and appreciation by the soldiers.
After the appointment of committees
to effect arrangements for the trip Of the
company to Marysville on New Years
Day, to have a practice shoot with Com
pany C of the Eighth Infantry, the guests
and members adjourned to the drill
room, where an elegant spread had been
prepared in honor of Major Cursor.
The menu was an elaborate one, and
was a credit to the members who pre-
pared and served it. Major Cursor acted
as master of ceremonies.
Captain Sheehan responded to the
toast, National Guard of California"
and did the subject justice.
Colonel Guthrie, who is a great favorite
with the boys of Company L. made the
response to Second Infantry Regi-
ment." He traced the history of the
Fourth Regiment from the time it was
organized as battalion to the present
time. He revived many interesting
"reminiscences and complimented Com
pany + very highly upon the interest
manifested in the National Guard, and
the Fourth Regiment in particular.
Several hours were spent at the ban
quet table, and many speeches made and
interesting "reminiscences given.

I saw her rocking gently backward.
then forward, helpless babe upon her
knee. A light soft as early dawn shone
in her eyes, sweet strains from mothers
voice sootned the little one to sleep.
All, it was easy to love it with an al
most holy passion. The same Being who
had sent this blessing into her household
had implanted the mother-love within
her breast. Its every motion she watched
with pleasure or anxiety. She lived for
it; she would die for it. In joy or fear
she cried aloud: "It is my child-my
darling child"
Again l saw her bending over bit of
hteless clay, strong human arm about
her waist-a husbands arm-two weep
ing children clinging to her skirts. To-
gether they mingled their tears. In her
agony of spirit she clasped the cold, dim
pied hands and cried: II cannot give
thee up, my darling, my beautiful dead"
But the same Power that had taken the
little jewel again to His own keeping
sent the healing oil, and out of the deep
waters Of sorrow she arose to cherish the
loved ones lett; to 90 forward with new
determination on life's path of duty.
And as [ watched her through the COM
ing years, saw the little plants by her
side carefully nurtured; their growth en-
couraged physically, mentally, spirit
ually, until each developed into mighty
force, to shed benign influence upon
mankind, and the world paid her trib
ute of respect. 'She was great and good
mother"
Again [ saw middle-aged man lead
bride to his home. The rosiness of her
youth had passed, the calm and peace of a
noble womanhood rested upon her brow.
To her keeping be intrusted three tender
plants-three human lives. ''These are
my children. Do with them as you would
your very own"
Was it easy to prune away the evil in
their lives in love and not in anger?
Where was the great mother love? Was
she able to read the good with smiles and
blot the i'll with tears?
Yea, as l watched her through the COM
ing years, | saw her put on the mantle of
still nobler womanhood. The little
plants were carefully nurtured; their
growth encouraged physically, mentally,
spiritually. until each developed into
mighty force to shed a benign influence
upon mankind. Would the world pay
her tribute of respect? She was only a
stepmOther.

SUPPOSED INCENDIARISM.

Burning of w. j. Thompson's Tin
Shop Last Night.
The alarm of fire from box 10, Ninth
and P streets, about fifteen minutes to IL
o'clock last night, was occasioned by a
fire in the Eagle Tin Shop of w. j.
Thompson at 1921 Seventh street, between
O and z.
Thompson's shop was located in a one
story frame building, the interior of
which and its contents were almost totally
destroyed. There was but little or no
insurance on the stock and fixtures.
The origin of the fire is not known,
but the odor of coal oil was very per-
ceptible before and after the alarm of fire
was sounded.

Two Footpads Hold Up a Young Clerk
Last Ni9hr.

Last Night.
The festive footpad appears to have
joined forces with the safe-cracker, just
to make things lively for the newspa-

Jessup, clerk in Stephenson 81 Hart
mans real estate office, was passing
Third and NJ streets, he was confronted

pistol and compelled him to throw up his
hands, while the other rifled his pockets.
They obtained SIS and a gold watch,
and then allowed him to go on his way.

ADJUSTMENTS.

1.-THE Fairy Circle" now played at the
Clunie Opera-houseis is a charming drama.
The beautiful second act is made the more
charming by the opening Of the flowers
and the emergance of the little girls per-
sonating the fairies. There are seven of
them-Mary Azevedo, Birdie Howe, Ada
Wilkie, George Klebs, Grace Wilke, Lot
tie and Idalene O'Malley. Minnie Aze-
vedo and Jessie Turner. They sing well.
dance better and are as graceful and easy
on the stage as the most eXacting could
demand. Indeed the acting Of these little
ones is half the play. The special dances
by Idalene and Lottie O'Malley are en-
cored over and over again nightly, and
deservedly so is the serpentine dance of
the elder of the two. 1t has never been
given here better, never so innocently.
The music OF the play, arranged by Di-
rector Dreyfour, adds greatly to the in
tereSt and is a credit to the orchestra
leader. 'The Fairy Circle'' this after
noon for matinee, again tonight, and to-
morrow night it will be played for the
last time.
"Wife for Wife" was played to a large
audience by the New York Stock Com
pany last night. 1t will be given for
matinee this afternoon, and will be played
for the last time tonight and tomorrow
night. 1t is a strong emotional drama,
and presents Miss May Nannary at her
best, albeit the role is an exhausting and
nerve-trying one. She reads and acts the
part OF the sorely-tried wife, cruelty
charged and wrongfuIly. with a natural
ness that leads the spectator into the for
getfulness of the scene being mimic,
which is the highest tribute to art. Nor
timer Snow, Al. Hallett and Clyde Hess
had the leading male characters, and
fairly divided the honors. Both Snow
and Hallett are broadening and strength
ening their methods. There is more of
maturity in tteir work than when they
were here last season; more of vigor and
masculinity. They are young artists
with a most promising future, and capa-
bility to improve it TO the full. Mr.. Hess
was notably strong last night, and, de-
spite repulsive part. gave it character
and strength, demonstratiye of his skill.
Mr.. Hernandez, the new comedian, has
beeOme favorite. He is quick. natural,
witty, sings in a fute-like tenor and has
excellent stage presence. Mr.. Reynolds
as DIR. Vernon very much surprised the
audience last night by his fine disguise
and the ease with which he fitted into the
character. He has the versatile quality
that stands for so much in a stock actor.

He Was Charitsbiy Inclined, Hut Not

 A good story is told by a certain western congressman who came to this city the first time officially at the open ing of the present session. One night during the recent rainy weather the representative was walking along the avenue in the vicinity of Sixth street at a very late hour. It was raining hard. the cable cars had stopped for the night and there were few people Oa the streets. The congressman was hurrying to his hotel, tightly grasping an umbrella. which was pulled down over his boulders. As he neared Sixth street he noticed on the corner an elder ly little woman bundled up and holding a wornout parasol over her head. As he approached the woman she said:
 Mister, will you please tell me how to get to Georgetown? I'm a stranger in the city and want to go to my sons house"
 ''Georgetowni' exclaimed the con- gressman; ''why, my good woman. you are two or three miles from there and the cars have stopped running. You had better take a cab"
 'Is it so far as thatP' inquired the poor woman. Then I'll have to walk. for have no money" and she sighed heavily as she drew her thin shawl more tightly over her shoulders.
 The lawmakers heart was touched. He probably thought of one of his own family in a similar predicament Div ing into his trousers pocket, he said;
 Let me assist you. madam. Here are two dollars. Now you walk over to the depot and hire a cab to take you to your sons house."
 He pressed the money into the woman's wet hand and hurried on his way, while she murrnured God bless you. kind sir"
 Three nights afterwards, about the same hour. the same congressman was again walking along the avenue. It was a clear, cool night, and being en- grossea in a deep study he did not know anybody was near him until the figure of woman stood in his path, and he heard her say:
 Please, sir, can you tell me the way to Georgeto-?'
 Glancing at the features Of the speak CT, the congressman at once recognized the woman he had befriended a few nights before. and, as he cast frown- ing glance at her, he said:
 Good Lord, woman, haven't you found your son yet? Well, you just wait for some other idiot to come along. ! I've been there once."-Washingto Post
