At the meeting of the Board of State
Prison Directors held in San Quentin last
night the application for pardon Of r. G.
Shaw, who was sentenced from Colusa
County fourteen years ago to a life term
for murder in the second degree, was con-
sidered The board recommends that the
sentence be committed 10 twenty-three and
q half years. which. deducting credits,
would release the prisoner in about six
weeks. Shaw is now in the spital suffer-
ing from heart failure. and DR.. Mansfield
says he can live but short time. This
recommendation is conditional on Shaw
leaving the State never to return.
1t was also recommended that the sem
tence of j. b. Mcdonald, who IS serving
term Of ten years for cOunterfeitng, be
committed to six years and six months.
Should the recommendation be acted upon
Mcdonald will be at liberty in month.
The board recommends the passage by
the Legislature of the following bills:
The State Board of Prison Directors OF
this Slate shall have power to establish
rules and regulations under which any
prisoner, who Is now or hereafter may
than for murder In the first or
second degree. who may have served
one calendar year of the term for which he
was convicted and who has not previously
been convicted of a felony and served a
term in penal institution, may be allowed
to 20 upon parole outside of the buildings
and Enclosures, but to remain while on
parole in the legal custody and under the
control of said Board of Directors and sub
ject ut any time to be taken back within the
Enclosure Of said prison, and full power to
make and enforce such rules and regua-
tons and to retake and imprison any con-
vict so upon parole is hereby conferred
upon said Board of Directors, whose writ
ten order, certified to by the president of
said board, shall be sufficient warrant for
all officers named therein to authorize such
officer 10 return to actual custody any con-
dltionally released or paroled prisoner, and
it is hereby made the duty of all chiefs Of
police and marshals Of cities and villages
and sherffs of counties and of all police,
prison and peace officers and constables to
execute any such order in like manner as
ordinary criminal process. If any prisoner
so paroled shall leave the State he shall be
held as an ESCAPED prisoner and arrested as
such.
The term of President DePue Of the board
having expired, Director Neff of Colfax
was elected for he ensuing year.

brilliant. This was q great resting-place
for art-lovars.
Another point OF interest was the gallery
containing one of the oldest stage coaches,
with its hard seats and mud-stained wheels.
Behind 1t. appropriately enough, are ar.
ranged upon the walls pictures of some OF
the old-time California mining camps.
Among those represented were such charae-
terisiic names as Brandy Flat" Poverty
Bar" "You Bet" "Blanket-Ead," Bone,
yard" Dead Horse" Whisky Slide
Mary Red Diggings." shirt Tail Canyon.
and, last but not least, Bret Harte's MINOR
tai Poker Flat"
These inspected, there were miniature
billiard tables to admire, wonderful re-
volvng stand made OF whaebone, and lots
Of little side-shows and ingenious devices
Downstairs, of course, the citrus EXHIBITS
naturally attracted the most attention, but
there was plenty of interest besides.
One OF the most fre0uented departments
was the aquarium, where there was some
disappointment over the dimming Of the
plate glass inclOsing the fish. The man
ayers tried to explain that this was a
chemical condition caused by the difference
Of temperature within and without the
glass reservoirs, impossible to obviate, but
the people grumbled a little in their eager
ness TO see the fish clearly.
There was little dissatisfaction to be
found elsewhere even at the jostling of the
great cTowds. and good humor prevailed
during the tedious process Of standing IN
line for coats and hats, as Home, Sweet
Home" sent every one away to dream OF a
kaleidoscope of wonders.
To-day the fair will be closed.
Monday will be Butte COunty's day, and

A Dirty Tramp RObs Laundry
Wagon and Is Caught.

William Cronan, dirty. detected and pen
ni,ess tramp, stood on Montgomery street,
near Washington, last night. bordering
upon his years of immunity from degrading
toll and troublesome cleanliness. and
wondering where upon earth he would get
meal and spend the night.
Presently r. Sales laundry wagon drove
up and halted near the place where the
knight OF rest was exercising his thinking
apparatus. The nomad looked in and saw
the neatly folded bundles of shirts and
things. The drivers back was turned, and
Willie, In his minds eye. saw both supper
and bed in the bundles. He stea.thily ap-
preached the wagon, seized the most corpu-
lent bundle and fed. The driver caught a
glimpse of the fugitive as he was turning a
corner, aud, with the assistance of Officer
Hackett. took him into custody. He was
booked at the City Prison for larceny.

POISONED THE DOG.
A. B. Truman's Pointer is Numbered
With the Dead,


Kent OF Blo0mo. valuable field trial
and bench-show dog. belonging to A. b.
Truman of this city, was poisoned at
Bakersfield Friday, where he was entered
for the field events billed for Monday. Mr..
Truman WAS preparing to leave for Bakers
field last night when he received news OF
the dogs death.
The animal was quite celebrated In dog
circles, having taken the first prize in the
last bench show In the open lightweight
class, and was one OF the winning kennel
pointers of the show. He was sired by
King of Kent, out OF Lass Of Blo0mo. both
well-known winners of field trials In the
East.
Truman brought Kent of Bloomo from
Wheatland, N. D., year ago last March:
He was half brother to Rip Rap, Maid Of
Kent, Tapestry, Zig Tag, and litter brother
of Lady Peg. The dog represented cash
value of $3.50, and was valued by his owner
at $500.
1t seems that Truman's dogs were tam
pered with at the last bench show held here.
and he thinks that some rival dog-fancier,
prompted by jealousy. fed poison to the
animal

A Good Will Farm.

They are trying what they call Good
VIII Farm in Maine with a considerable
degree Of success. Bad boys arc sent to it
instead OF to reform schools. On the farm
they are separated as far as possible into
groups in number Of cottages that have
been erected. The idea Is that in this way
the boys may be subject to the beneficial
influences of home life. The household
WORK in each of these families is divided up
among the boys, who also work on the farm
or In shops. The same thing is to be tried
in Massachusetts also. A farm has been
bought In Danvers, on which it is proposed
to care for 500 homeless and destitute chill
dren. It's distinctive feature, the cottage
system, might well be tried on larger scale
in other States in place Of the great nstitu-
tions in which so many boys and girls are
huddled together.

Certainly the California Club did very little
toward helping the sick pugllist out of a

The contests were very spirited, and espe-
ciaIly the wind-up between the famous
