A Big Crowd Witnesses the Initia
Game of the Season.

Los ANGELES. March 25.-The ball sea-
son Of 1893 opened here to-day under favor
able auspices, fully $500 people witnessing
the opening game between the Stockton
and Los Angeles teams. The weather was
all that could be desired. There was the
usual parade during the morning, but such
was the interest manifested that this was
entirely superfuous. The wretched weather
of the past few weeks having prevented the
Stockton team from working, they did not
make as good showing as had been ex-
pected of them, but the result of the game

Cauley, LOhman and Glenalvin sharing the
rest Of the honors. Roach and Lohman
constituted the battery for the Angels and
both showed up in something like their form
OF last season. Whitehead seemed to be the
only one OF the Stocktons 10 be able to hit
Roach with any degree OF safety. Sunday
made sensational catch in the fifth inning,
which was one of the features of the game,
and he and Sweeney made very pretty
double play in the fourth. The general
opinion prevails that the Angels are a
stronger aggregation this year than last.

THE RED PLANET.
w. j. Hussey on Mars and
the Canals.
Fifth Annual Meeting Of the Astro-
nomicaI Society-A Branch in
the Mexican Capital.

The members OF the Astronomical Society
Of the Pacific were In high feather at their
fifth annual meeting last night.
This was because Vice President E. ].
Molera told them that a branch Of the soci-
ETY., working under its rules, had been
established in the City of Mexico. Not only
this, but there is a fine observatory at Tacu-
baya. suburb of Mexico. supplied with a
big equatorial and all the modern appli-
aEces.
VIce-Presdent Molera went on to say
that the Astronomical Society which began
with forty members now numbers 493, of
whom fifty-five are life members.
He then introduced Professor WI. .Hussey
of the Stanford University as the lecturer
for the evening.
MARS" was the topic selected, and Mr..
Hus sey, though quite young man, spoke
with logical consecutiveness and free
dom from flippancy or repetition thnt pro-
duced a very favorable impression and
gained for him steady, appreciatiye hear

may be clearly divided into three periods,
namely, from 1886 to 1880. from 1880 to 1877,
and from 1877 to the present lime. He
dwelt on the absolute confederation of
Schiaparelli's discovery Of canals on Mars,
but expressed a doubt whether the question
of whether the dark spaces represent seas
and the light areas land has yet been salts
iSfactUrily settled.
Even the drawings made by different OBJ
servers at the same time and place vary
considerably, and the same is true of draw
ings made by the same observer at CORE
spending times of Marian revolution, but
al different places.
In all about hundred drawings of Mars
were exhibited on the screen. many of the
sketches having been made by Mr.. HusSey
himself at the Lick telescope.

A CHARITY BALL.
Great Fun at the Italian
Masquerade.
THOUSANDS WERE PRESENT.
Everybody Had q Glorious Time at
the Mechanics Pavilion Last
Night.

Some people may think it was only an
ordinary. commonplace masquerade ball,
but the fat man, with the big mustache,
VINO walked proudly in the grand march
last night in the Mechanics Pavilion knew
better, and he was right.
Carnivals for the aid of the Italian free
school, founded by the Societa Operate ltal-
lana di Mutuo Soccorso, are not every day
affairs by any means, and that is what last
nights ball was.
The red, white and green flags told the
story loud enough, even if no superfuency
of harleQuins. Colombines and bombazines
had been noticeable.
And the way the whole population of the
Latin quarter filed the floor and the benches
clearly proved that an Italian affair was
taking place.
They had street parade. and then they
had grand march, which latter was little

time before the parade was formed.
At last it started, with mounted trumpet

Then came five carriages containing base
ball reporters, five more conveyances with
the members OF the two teams, and a big
bus drawn by four white horses.
In this rig were the 'cranks" from over

HE SHOT TO KILL.

Fatally Wounds Himself

Charles II. HeitmaD. German, about 30
years of age, attempted TO commit suicide by
shooting himself through the head with a
revolver In grocery-stOre at the corner of
Fourth and Harrison streets lastnight, He
was taken to the Receiving Hospital in a
dying condition.
The cause of Heitman's rash attempt to
kill himself could not be learned. He is a
chicken-rancher and is said to keep a small
place at North Beach In this city.
Last Friday he drank freely and finally
beca me intoxicated. aud while in that con-
dition was arrested by the police and booked
on charge of drunkenness.
When he recovered from the effect of the
liquor he sent note addressed to Charles
ii. LunsmaDn. a grocery-store keeper as the
corner OF Fourth AID Harrison streets, in
forming him of his arrest and requesting
that the latter send him bail money.
Lunsmann secured his friends release
next morning by paying the amount of his
nne. The pair separated sho lily after Heit-
man was released.
Lunsmann did not again see Heitman until
shortly before 8o'clock last night when the
latter entered his store

Watches and Vital Magnets.

Il is frequently claimed that personal
magnetism of man has great influence on
the time movements of watch which he
carries. In confirmation of this there is
cited from the Electrical Review case
where an emplOyo in a watch factory, a
man of strong perso magnetism, had for
many years strange experiences with his
watch. AS soon as he had worn watch
for some time 1t began to run In the most
freakish way. 1t lost or gained not so
