CORPORATION moonlight is an invita-
ton to crime. It is as direct a bid for
burglary and garroting as if the city put
premium upon those crimes. A city of
this size in total darkness on a stormy
night, though it is provided with innum-
erable street lights of the best order, is a
travesty upon good government. If there
is any contract to give respite to the
lighting contractors because the almanac
calls for full moon, it is farcical COM
pact and testides to our incapacity to do
business in a sensible manner. But if,
as is alleged, to be true, the contract calls
for the streets to be lighted whenever
necessary, then for all such failures as
that of Monday night the city ought to
have drawback from the contractors.
There is no reason why the lighting
company should be shown any special
favors or allowed any license, nor will
the men who compose it ask any favors
or exemptions from business obligations.
They are far too sensible and wise for
that. Why the city was left in total
darkness on one of the darkest nights of
the year ought to be officially investi-
gated. and if there is anything in the con-
tract warranting it. then we will have
learned how to frame the new one to be
drawn presently. We want no more
corporation moonlight. 1t is too costly
altogether for the personal safety of all.

A Woman Charged With Selling Wine
70 "a Minor.
Mrs. Meyers, who lives in the alley.
between o and P, Fifth and Sixth streets,
was charged in the Police Court yester-
day morning with selling liquor to a
minor
A boy named Eugene Pratt stated that
Mrs. Chadwick had given him so cents
to swear to a complaint against Mrs.
Meyers, for selling him some wine for
his grandmother, who was sick.
Acting City Attorney Anderson said
he understood that the affair happened
several months ago and he thought the
charge should be dismissed. There
seems to be some feeling on the part of
Mrs. Chadwick against Mrs. Meyers for
some reason.
The latter, who is a quiet looking
German woman, states that the boy came
for the wine and offered - cents forit
but she declined to take it, saying that
II his grandmother was sick she did not
want pay for it.
The court thought it would be well to
investigate further and continued the
case till to-day.

appear in a concert gotten up by musical
connoisseurs of this city, in order to give
the Sacramento community an opportu-
nifty to hear a player pronounced to be
the most remarkable musical genius this
country has recently produced. Every
where this l4-year-old pianist has ap-
peared she has surprised and delighted
music lovers. Critics and masters alike
speak OF her in terms Of adjectival
praise. In San Francisco her success was
one of the most notable of musical
events. The San Francisco Bulletin pro-
nounced her IAN artist of extraordinary
ability" The Chronicle said miss
COttloW is not merely pianOforte-play
ing phenomenon or musical prodigy,
she is a finished artistic, though young in
years." and the NetCS Letter. a severe
critic, spoke of her as mot only a child
wonder, but a genius" Tonight she will
play three numbers, in eleven parts, the
selections being from Handel, Schumann,
Chopin-Liszt, Paderewski and Mendels-
sohn. Between numbers r. I. Cohn will
sing STARS Love the Night and Mrs.
Mary NJ. Ross will sing Heart Whence

numbers to be played by Miss Cottlow
will be; by request, Paderewskis Min
uet." She will also play the Chopin
List "Chant Poonnaise," HandePs
Village Blacksmith" and Schumann's
"Faschingsschwank. A single glance
at the programme reveals that 1t is re-
markable undertaking for one of her
years. and would be a severe task for an

WITHOUT careful and studied compari-
son with the existing tariff schedules,
the detailed character of the proposed
new tariff bill cannot be fully ascer-
tanned. 1t appears to be, however, so
radical reform in several respects that
we may expect the entire tariff debate to
be now renewed upon the old lines of
protection to manufactures and products,
as against freedom from taxation levied
at the expense of consumers in the inter-
ests of favored classes, and finally the is
sue of promotion of manufactures by the
free admission of raw materials. The
free list is considerably extended by the
new measure, the substitution of ad va
lorem for specific duties, and the release
of raw materials from all taxation through
tariff agencies are notable features of the
bill.

THE highwsyman is becoming oyerbold

to enter a restaurant in that city at an
early hour of the morning. and compel
the woman clerk to fork over all the
money in the cash drawer. These knights
of the road are really safer in large
city than if out in the country. To turn
8 single street corner in city, is often
sufficient to insure the criminal against
capture.
