announcement to the people of the
adoption of the Declaration. One
time-honored old story tells us that as
soon as the draft was adopted the old
bell in the tower of Independence Hall
was joyfully rung for some little time
and that the bell thus fulfilled the COM
mand Of its motto upon its cracked sur
face: Proclaim liberty throughout all
the land, unto all the inhabitants
thereof. This story is pronounced
sheer fable, pleasant though it is.
Again, it is said that Colonel John Nix
on read the contents of the Declara--
tion to the waiting throng in Chestnut
street from the window of Indepen-
dence Hall. The authenticity of this
assertion is questioned, too That it's
contents were widely circulated in some
way or other, and that very soon after
its adoption, there is no doubt, for
widespread rejoicing promptly followed.
The Declaration was formally pro-
claimed TO the Continental army July
Q, so that, certainly, no later
than this its tenor was publicly
known. The best authorities declare
that it was not printed, though, until
January, III. Congress was then in
session at Baltimore, and enc Mary
Katherine Goddard, who managed hei.
brothers business for him, had the en-
tefprise topublish the document. Since

BADLY BENT TWIGO.
Juveniles in Training for Future Des-
peradoes,
Two Held to Answer for Burglary, and
Four Sent to the County Jail
for Forty Days.

Six small but very troublesome boys
occupied the cage in the Police Court
yesterday. No one of them was over u
years of age, and when they stood up
their heads barely came to the top of the
railing. The two charged with the most
serious offenses were Robert Farrell and
George Grassell, and they were formally
arraigned and examined for burglary.
Both pleaded guilty, and seemed entirely
reckless and regardless of any penalty or
punishment.
John McMorry, a grocer at Fourth and
NJ streets, testified to the glass door of his
store having been broken into and that
about SIS worth of tobacco, cigars, cigar
cites, oysters, sardines and other goods
had been taken, and the same found in
possession of the boys.
Chief Rodgers testified that they had
confessed to him to taking the stuff. They
had slowed it away in an old caboose car
which they made their rendezvous until
arrested.
Judge Buckley held them to answer TO
the Superior Court and fixed their bail at
81, coo each.
John Duncan, lad of about IL or II
years OF age, was next arraigned, charged
with petty larceny. He, too, pleaded
guilty, and it was shown that he stole SIS
in coin from a trunk belonging TO S.
Woodruff at Twentieth and NJ streets
This was not Johnnie's first offense,
and his mother, who has several other
children to provide for, could do
nothing with him. She hoped he would
be sent to the Reform School.
The Judge sentenced him to forty days
in the County Jail.
X. Appikeno and JOSH Rosi, two To-
year-old Italian boys of the same I'M
manageable kind, were next arraigned
for stealing brass and other articles from
the railroad shops and selling it. Among
the things they took was a valuable
steam-gauge which belonged to a locomo-
tive. They, too, pleaded guilty, and
seemed to be as unrepentant as the others
and entirely incorrigible.
After warning them that if they came
before him again they would get num-
ber of months, and giving them some
good advice, Judge Buckley sentenced
them to forty days each in the County Jail.
Nearly all the boys had parents who
wished them sent to the Reform School,
but it seems that institution will not re-
ceive culprits sent from the Police Courts.
They must be sent from the Superior
Court to be taken at Whittier.
Charles Zimmerman, charged with mis-
demeanor in trying to beat a hotel-keeper,
had his case continued until to-day.
Joseph Altman pleaded guilty to bat
terry, and was fined $50.

lsPORTSMEN AROUSED.
Vigorous Opposition to Proposed oh
noXious Game Laws.

noXious Game Laws.
A large meeting of representative
sportsmen was held at the Palace Hotel
in San Francisco on Saturday evening to
consider the bill amending the game law,
introduced in the Legislature by Assem-
blyman Emeric.
Among the large number present there
were none who did not seriously and
vigorously object to several clauses in the
Emeric bill, especially those prohibiting
free hunting on open marsh and other un-
lnclosed lands and requiring a license TO
be paid for hunting in any county other
than that in which person resides.
After a long discussion the following
resolution was adopted:
ReSoLUed That Assembly Bill No 4O3.
known as the Emeric bill introduced Janu-
uary 2Oth and referred TO the committee on
Fish and Game, be as a whole condemned.
Also that committee of five be appointed to
confer with the Legislature ana ask that ac-
ton on the bill be deferred till the committee
can be heard.
The President appointed as a committee
to appear before the Legislature P. Bo-
land, John Stack, f. McC. Van Ness, +.
q. Borden and E. w. Briggs.
John Stack suggested that another
meeting, TO include the Sportsmen's Pro-
tective Association, be held at the
knights of the Red Branch Hall Tuesday
evening at s o'clock. The suggestion was
adopted and adjournment was made until
that time.
1t is the intention to raise fund at the
Tuesday meeting for legitimate expenses
and maintain the committee at Sacra-
mento till the bill is defeated, if that is
possible, and those at the meeting be-
Heved it could be done.
