THE OK TEAM.
I sit upon my OK team calm,

sit upon my OK team calm,
Beneath the lazy Sky,
And crawl contented through the land
And let the world go by
The thoughtful OK has learned to wait
And nervous impulse smother,
And ponder long before he puts
One foot before the other.
And men with spanking teams go By
And dash upon their way,
AS If il were their hope TO find
The worlds end in q dag.
Ard men dash by III palace cars,
On ne dark frowns they cast,
As the lightning driven Present frowns
Upon the SLOW old Past.
What do they chase, these men Of steam
Their smol.e-hags wide unfurled,
Pulled by the roaring fire-dend
That shakes the ree!ing world?
What DO ye seek, ye men Of steam,
So wild and mad you press:
Is this, is this the railroad line
That leads to happiness?
And when you've swept across the day
And dashed across the night
Is there some station through the Hills
Where men can find delight:
All, toward the Depot Of Content
Where no red signals stream,
Ieo by ox-tcam just as quick
AS you can 60 by steam.

Good Advice.

A well-known divine in his wise old
age once took a newly-married pair
aside and said: Il want to give YOU

be happy. Happiness is a shy nymph,
and if you chase her you will never
catch her; but just go quietly on and
do your duty, and she will come to
you. "-Philadelphia Times

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera house to-night
the New York Stock Company will pro-
duce "Monte Cristo." There will be
large quantity of new scenery and the
palace set is spoken of as one of great
brilliancy. Mr.. Hallett will be the Nor
lier of the play, Jennie Calef the young
soldier, Miss Nannary the Mercedes OF
the drama, and Mr.. Snow the Edmond
DanteS. The entire company is in the
cast and the members have been given
parts that will afford them opportunity to
prove their dramatic capacity.
Saturday the charming actress, Jennie
Calef, of the New York Stock Company.
whose art and character as good woman
have commanded for her respect and ad-
lniration here, was notified of rehearsal
at the Opera house at 1880 A. NJ. She
came, bat to her amaZement found she
was half an hour late. (rhe hands of the
stage clock had been turned back.l
The entire company was present and
Manager Daley stepped forward and in
formed the lady that tardiness was next to
q crime; that she had kept the entire COM
pany waiting; that such conduct was
highly reprehensible, etc. The poor
woman. with tears in her eyes, turned to
her husband, Mr.. Waldron, for pro-
lection, but he was gazing into vacancy
ana WOulQ uOL recognize ner.
Mr.. Daley continued, saying that dila-
toriness could not be longer condoned in
his company, and that punishment by
fine or suspension must be inflicted.
However. that hereafter she might have
10 excuse for further offending and be on
time, the company had authorized him to
punish her by presenting her with gold
watch, inasmuch as the day was her birth
day.
The merry, big-hearted soubrette then
acted as she never has in drama. Her
ewes melted in tears between surprise and
the words of the manager and embraces
of the ladies. She attempted to say in
reply how deeply she felt the kindness of
the company and the love it evineed for
her, but she was completely overcome,
and could only gasp and sob.
The watch is a beautiful piece of me-
chanism, with diamond stud and suita-
ble inscription, and on one side bears the
monogram 81. c."
At the performance at night some beau
tiful floral pieces were sent over the foot

oAKLAND's DEAD BURGLAR.

His Crooked Career in This City Some
Years Ago.
Burglars were discovered in saloon at
1886 Seventh street, Oakland, about 3
o'clock Saturday morning by Officers
Cashin and Ely, and in attempting to
arrest the thieves Officer w. G. Cashin
was shot in the abdomen by one of them
and mortally wounded, and one of the
burglars was killed by Ely.
The dead burglar is said to have been
positively identified by several officers as
being William Gilmore, who was arrested
in this city in December, 1886, for robbing
an old man named Harris. He roomed
with Harris, whom he afterward attacked
on Third street, and after beating him to
insensibility, robbed him of sos and a
watch.
On the same night or the following day
he stole quantity of clothing and jewelry
from lodging house.
He was convicted here and sentenced to
four years at Folsom, being liberated
from there IL 1889.
A After his release he returned to Sacra-
mento, but being suspected of completely
In several crimes, he was ordered out of
town by the police.
He is described by those who knew him
as having been very cunning and des-
perate criminal.
After viewing the body of the burglar
supposed to be William Gilmore, Captain
Lees of San Francisco said it was not the
body of Gilmore, but that of a man named
Joseph Tonhill.
Lees claimed to have known Tonhill
we'll and was positive in his identifica-
ton, and the dead mans family have
identified rosary and crucifix found
upon his body.
1t was found that the same men had
entered several business houses before
they began their work in the saloon.
They had attempted to open safe in
the butcher shop of William Long at 17Z9
Seventh street, and also robbed the store
of Eben d Nor, grocers. AT the latter
place the burglars blew open large safe,
but secured but small amount of money,

NONSUIT GRANTED

Judge Johnson's Decision In the Prou-
ty-Adams Case.
In department Two of the Superior Court
the case of S. Prouty vs.. Robert Adams
and others was argued and submitted on
Saturday on motion for nonsuit.
The suit is on promissory note for
$500, and the defense is that only two of
the makers are sued, and that the note
mas been paid by one of the parties max
ing it.
Judge Johnson's decision was that
Prouty accepted new note in lieu of the
olo one, and the present suit seemed to
pe an attempt to collect the old note in
tne interest of Henry Adams, who had
given the new note, in order that the
other makers should pay their share of
the old note. He therefore granted the
motion for a nonsuit, and allowed ten
days stay of execution and twenty days
to file bill of exceptions.

zEMANSKE'S BULLET
Successfully Removed From Vincent
GigIio's Body.
1t Was Found Encysted In the Peri.
toneal Cavity-rhe Patient
l- % n
Greatly Relieved.

A successful operation was performed
yesterday at the County Jail upon Vim
cent Giglio, the man who shot Ike Ze-
nansky, and was shot i'll turn by the lat
ter several weeks ago.
The bullet which struck Giplio tool,
effect In the small of his back. a few
inches to the right of his spine, ranged
downward, and at the time could not be
located.
Yesterday DIR. G. B. Nichols, the CITY
Physician, succeeded in locating and ex-
tracing the bullet, which was found to
be 3S-caliber slug, instead of a 50, as was
testified to in the courts.
Giglio was very anxious to have the
bullet removed, as he complained of its
painlng him continually, and he was
very much afraid of blood poisoning
from the leaden missile. He refused to
have an anesthetic administered. and after
drinking half pint of whisky submit
ted TO the operation with remark abla
nerve and fortitude.
The operation performed was one re-
quiring skill and caution, owing to the
presumed location Of the bullet, which
was nhally found, as conjectured by DIR.
Nichols, encysted in the peritoneal CAVITY
There was great danger of rupturing
or otherwisel injuring the peritoneum,
the delicate membrane lining the interior
OF the abdomen, and the bullet had be-
come so firmly encysted as.to make the
operation .srn n,S both painful and ddiflicult.
The bullet was so covered with the
membrane" said Doctor Nichols to a re-
porter, THAT the forceps would slip from
ou bet they would ~ calculated Gig
lis: II felt them slip, you bet your life =,
The operation was performed success
fuliy-in short time. however-and the
bullet was lying on the table when the
reporter went into the room. The conf
lcal ball had struck one of the ribs and
was considerable flattened, fragment of
bone being i'm bedded in the lead.
ut is not often that man has bullet
removed from the peritoneal cavity
without being put under the Influence of
ether" said Doctor Nichols, except,
perhaps, IN time of war, when patients
and bullets are plentiful"
Glglio was greatly pleased with the re-
suit, and seemed for the time to forget
that he was under q sentence of two
years for shooting Zemansky.
