BOSPON'S CHAMPIONS.

They VIII be Seen in a Game Here
This Afternoon.
This afternoon at o'clock the much
talked-of game of baseball between the
Boston champions and the Oakland team
will be played. The first game between
the two clubs was played last Wednes-
day, the Bostons winning after close
and exciting contest by a score of to 2.
The Oaklands had the lead up to the last
half of the ninth inning, when a disas-
trous pitch by Horner allowed two run
ners to cross the plate. The Oaklands
were much put out over their defeat and
confidently expect to turn the tables on
their adversarieS to-day. DevereuX and
Speer will be the battery for the OaklandS
and Nichols and kittredge will be in the
points for the champions.
Duffy, McCarty and Hoy of the Bos-
tons were among the best base-runners
in the league, their sliding to bases being
the feature of many game.
Hernon of the Oaklands, who has never
played in Sacramento, possesses a fog
horn voice and is one of the noisiest
coachers in the league, and Nash, Beck
ley and one or two others of the BoStonS
are witty and clever on the lines. Hoy,
the deaf and dumb player, is also fine
coach. he never has word to say, but
works the runner around the bases by
signs.
The grounds at Snowflake Park have
been put in fine condition and everything
Is In readiness for the game. The price

Mrs. Minnie Dodge testified in the
Police Court yesterday that as she was

Smith came in and picked quarrel with
her and struck her in the left eye. caus-
ing severe confusion and swelling in
the vicinity of the damaged optic.
The question as to whether it was dis
colored or not was difficult one to settle,
as all the parties are several shades
darker than snow. Other witnesses cor
roborated the testimony, Officer Warner
testifying to the vile language used by
the defendant on the street after her ar
rest.
Judge Buckley sentenced May to pay
fine of $50, or be secluded from public
gaze for fifty days in the County Jail.
He gave her severe lecture, saying that
the severity of the sentence was mainly
due to her resisting the officer and abus-
ing him with vile language. He warned
her that women of her class should be
content to be allowed to stay in the city
at all, and instead of defying the officers
of the law should obey them and behave
themselves. He. should hereafter deal
severely with those who did not do so.

THAT CITY SCHOOL TAX.
Some Taxpayers Seem Not TO Under
stand Ii.
Why the Supervisors Levied a City
School Tax of Seventeen Cents
on Each SIOO.

Citizens are walking up to the Sheriff S
Office and paying their taxes with COM
mendable alacrity, and Collector O'NeiPs
entire Office force is kept busy taking in
the coin and issuing receipts therefor.
ARECoRD- UNION reporter learned yes
terday that some taxpayers had COM
planned of the seyenteen-cent levy for
city school purposes, not being aware Of
the circumstances under which it was
made. A few of these persons assumed
that the levy was made necessary because
of some neglect on the part Of the City
Trustees to make the proper levy, while
one over-captious gentleman made the
absurd declaration that the city authori-
ties had squandered the money in the
school fund and then had to go to the
Supervisors for an extra levy to help
them out
The truth is, these few good people
either do not read the local papers, or if
they do they make no effort to impress
their minds with what they read. This
whole matter of the transfer to the Super
visors from the City Trustees Of the duty
of levying taxes for school purposes
within the city has been fully explained
in the papers. and ought to be clear to the
understanding of every taxpayer of ordi-
nary intelligence. Briefly stated, the
facts are these:
The Supreme Court has decided that all
cities mot in the San Francisco class
are simply so many school districts in
their respective counties.
Therefore, City Boards of Trustees have
no longer control over the matter Of levy
ing taxes for school purposes. that au-
thority belonging alone to the Super
visors.
The last levy for city school purposes
by the Trustees was made last spring,
and will carry the schools along until the
end of the old city fiscal year. March 1st.
The county's fiscal year begins with
July, leaving several months next year
that the city schools would be without
funds, and it was to cover these months
that the Supervisors levied in Septem Der
last the special school tax Of II cents on
each Sl00 for city purposes.
The next city tax levy will not include
the regular school tax, and in future will
be just that much less, but the Super
taxes instead.
This explanation ought to be satis-
factory to every person who is able to
read. The City Trustees have not
neglected their duty in the matter at all,
nor have they used school money for
other purroses-something they could
not do. even if they had been so in
clined.
No one is paying any more taxes than
usual, but simply providing for the in
terval of few months between the ex-
piration of the old city fiscal year and
that Of the county. After next July the
levy will come regularly within the coun-
ty's fiscal year.
1t is to be hoped that no considerable
number of taxpayers have been misled
by the false statements referred to, made
presumably through ignorance of the
facts.

blew out, and all the lights on that cir
cult were extinguished. The company
has two of these big engines, but the du-
plicate one, not having been in use for a
long time, was not i'll perfect working or
der and therefore not available for prompt
use.
Machinists were hard at work on the
crippled engine yesterday and last night,
but the task of repairing it was too great
to get it in operation. The other engines
were required to operate the arc lights
and the street railway circuit. These
facts account for the street lights being
out last night.

ADJUSTMENTS.

The "Span of Life' drew large audi
ence to the Metropolitan Theater last
night. 1t is a melodrama of the most
sensational order, and fuller of improba-
bilities than a political campaign is OF
lies, but it is well acted and the scenery
is very fine. Then, too, there are sensa-
tiOnal scenes that are far more than
clever. One is that of dark night on a
point of rocks jutting into the sea; dense
fog blows in across the stage and fills the
house, while the siren is heard An
ocean steamer approaches and is in dan
ger Of wreck, when the hero of the play
manages at peril Of his life, to get light
in the lantern of the lighthouse on the
point. and the ship is saved. Another
scene is where the heroine escapes from
her pursuers by passing over a chasm
bridged by the bodies of three men. This
bridge is made by two of the
men being sustained on the shoul-
ders of a third, and the column
is then thrown across the chasm, the top
most man selzing root on the opposite
side and clinging to it, while the heroine
trips across the living bridge in safety.
While it is capital feat of athletics, new
erthelesS there is trick in It, Except
the men are lashed by the ankles and
wrists, so that the body-clasp is insured,
the feat is impossible; and then, too, it is
possible that artificial support is given
to the swaying bridge. but this is denied.
There have been villains and villains of
all stripes, kinds and promptings; but
the villain in 'The Span of Life can
take down all rivals and walk away with
all contestants. There never was just
such deep, dark plot for a villain, and
never such character drawn for him as
in this play. Mr.. Lando. who fills the
role, has task about as difficult as any
thing Hercules ever undertook. but he is
creditable in the character. The heroine,
Miss Radcliffe, Is a capable young woman
of pleasing stage presence, and Miss
Harmer, the coulmediene, is very clever
and astonishes even the gallery without
shocking the dress circle by the ease
with which she turns handspring.
Mr.. Scott is the low comedian OF the
drama, and all around good. The lead
ing man, Mr.. Pearce, has no difficult
work; his part commands the sympathy
of the audience, and Mr.. Pearce's read
ing being vigorous, be has an easy path
to walk. The play won much applause,
and assuredly its sensationalism deserved
ii. Its literary merits are very few-but
what need of such quality when there is
so much OF the liveliness of rascally plot
ting and the deep damnation OF une-
qualed villainy. The piece will be re-
peated Tonight and the management an
nounces, without any cutting whatever,

late transportation with the railroad COM
