Why be cold? Is it necessary to
shivering about in this fine, bracing
winter weather, and all because you
haven't got thick enough clothes? Why
not go marching about your business
with rosy cheeks and bright eyes and
head held high and rejoice that you are
alive? No one need advance the absurd
plea OF poverty in defense for being and
looking cold. 1t won't stand now. For
why? Simply because at Rosenbaum's

SATURDAYS SCRAMBLE.
Match Game of Football-AthIetic

Match Game of Football-AthIetics
Against the High school Lads.
The first match game of football of the
season will be played at Snowflake Park
next Saturday at O'clock by the High
School and Sacramento Athletic Club
teams, and from all Indications it will be
hotly contested one.
Both teams are in daily training under
the direction of their respective captains,
and such is the rivalry between the two
teams that every play and combination of
plays is resOrted to in practice by each
team in order that on the occasion of the
coming game they may be able to present
to each other very strong and puzzling
series of plays.
Admission will be twenty-five cents,
and as there has been quite large ad-
vance sale of tickets, there will undoubt-
edly be a large attendance.
The colors of the High School team are
purple and white, and of the Athletic
Club team black and gold. The patrons
of the egame-particularly the ladies-will
undoubtedly turn out with the colors of
their favorite team well represented.

Sun Spots.

People hear and read great deal about
sun spots nowadays. Astronomers say
that the diameter of the sun is about $780,
600 miles, and in comparison to the earth
is as large carriage wheel to a marble.
If, therefore, the spots observed appear to
be about one-twentieth the diameter OF
the disk they occupy space about "A, 600
miles in diameter. To view the sun take
a hazy morning or evening, when the in
tervening mist gives it the appearance of
a dull red ball, or get a couple of pieces of
glass large enough TO cover the eye pieces
Of the opera-glass and smoke one of them
until you can look at the sun through it
easily. Put two strips of card between
the ends with the smoked surface inside
and attach to the instrument with a small
rubber band 1t will be best to get your
opera-glass accurately focused on some
distant object before adjusting the dark
ened glasses to it.

Percy Douglas Should Not Have

Ffck's Sentence for kidnapping China.
woman Also COMMITTED
Yesterday.

Governor Markham has commuted the
sentence of Percy Douglas, who was SEN
fenced in February, 1891, by the Superior
Court of Fresno county TO eight years.
imprisonment for assault to murder, to
four years. Douglas was second termer,
having prior conviction for manslaugh-
ter against him.
The State Prison Directors recon-
mended the commutation of his
sentence for the following rea-
ons: On his conviction the jury.
after the evidence Of the prosecution and
without having any evidence for the de-
Tense, convicted him of assault with a
deadly weapon, which is crime only
punishable with two years imprison-
ment, if first offense. On his convic-
ton for the oflionse of manslaughter, at
the first trial the jury stood eleven to one
for acquittal and on the second trial the
jury found him guilty and recommended
him to the mercy of the Court, on the
same testimony given at the first trial.
1t was the opinion of the presiding
Judge and the present District Attorney at
that time that the jury should have ac-
quilted him, and the Judge would have
granted him new trial if he had asked
for it, believing him innocent and that he
was clearly justified in taking life for the
preservation of his own. The District
Attorney states that the prior conviction
should not bias the minds of the board
against the prisoner.
Warden Aull and J. B. Hume testified
that the belief that the petitioner was a
train-robber greatly influenced the
Judge who sentenced him for the last
otfense, but the Investigations of Rail-
road Detectives Hickey and Smith have
clearly convinced them that he is an
honest man and never has belonged to
the criminal classes, having high sense
of personal honor and having shown the
most exemplary conduct and truStwor-
thiness since his incarceration, and that
he is entitled to a cOmmutatlon OF his
sentence.
Lieutenant overnor Reddick, thirty
one Senators, the Superior Judge, Dis
trict Attorney and Sheriff OF Kern
County and many others petition for the
commutation. and the Supreme Court, to
which the matter was referred also rec
ommend it.
FICK BORE a GOOD CHARACTER.
The Governor has also commuted the
sentence of Fl. l.. Flick, who was con-
yicted in the Superior Court of San } oa-
quin County in June. 1891, of kidnapping
a Chinawoman, from eight years to three,
on the recommendation of the State Board
of Prison Directors.
1t appears from the evidence submitted
/ that the petitioner had always borne a
good character and his associations had
been good; also that he had been de-
ceived and made the cat's-paw OF more
guilty parties, who escaped conviction.
a host of public officers, both in Placer
and san Joaquin Counties, strongly rec
ommend the communication, and the Gov
ernor has reconsidered the decision Of a
year ago in which he denied the petition
and cOmmutes the sentence in accord
ance with their recommendation and
that of the State Prison Directors, hav-
ing since thoroughly Investigated the
circumstances OF the case.

No More Rent VIII Be Charged for
Stalls at Agricultural Park.
At the meeting of the State Board OF
Agriculture yesterday Director Wilson
broached the proposition of furnishing
the stalls at Agricultural Park rent free
to those horsemen who wish to bring
their strings of flyers here for training
and practice, and who have been kicking
for long time past over being charged a
rental for the stalls, while at other places
they are charged nothing. After consid-
cradle discussion, Mr.. Wilson's PROPOSE
ton was adopted.
1t is believed that the change will re-
suit in the permanent location of large
number of horses here, as hOrsemen like
this track, but the rent has stood in the
way, and San Jose, Stockton, and other
places have reaped the benefit of their
presence. The change will result, it is
thought, in the leaving of considerable
sum of money per month in Sacramento.
