An Interesting Evening With That
Literary Society.
The Academia held its regular monthly
meeting last evening in the High School,

subject for the evening was Fiction"

Miss a. G. Murphy then read a paper

She said she knew an old lady, isolated

his every volume at hand and by heart,

paper on Fiction" the subject of
the evening, was then read by Mrs. NJ.
l.. Southworth. Above purely literary
interest, said Mrs. Southworth, the novel
is one OF the practical problems which is
agltatlng our social and moral economy
Of to-day. 1t captures and romances
with the most profound theories of civili-
Zation and sociology, from Darwin's DE
scent of Aian' to BalZacs "Comedie HUI
maine." and more recently that book of
great social evils and great possibilities of
social redemption, "Uncle Toms Tene-
ment." The love Of romance seems to
have been implanted in every human
breast and is as natural as speech itself
And this viii ever be SO long as the
world Graves entertainment, and curios-
ity and iove-makIug exist. Fiction can
trace its pedigree back to remotest an
tiquity. Romances in the cuueitorm
writing of ancient Assyra may be found
to-day in the British Museum. The an
clients used story TO idealize patriotism
and politics, and the early Christians 10
promote the cause of religion and virtue.
Astonishing developments in the novel
proper has widened its scope and improv ed
It's standard, so that it rises now above
the mere trick OF storytelling to work
OF art, and is every day becoming more
difficult.
The subject, 'Roman Times and Man
ners" was decided upon for the January
| meeting.

BOB" GOODS SERVICES

He Demands Fifty Dollars From the
Political Boss, Bart Cavanaugh.
Robert Goods has sued B. w. Cavan-
augh for $50, the alleged value of his
services as a ''worker' on election day.
Justice Devine will try the case, and
when it comes up for hearing Goods will
probably have an interesting story to tell.
The suit was brought in Justice
Henry's court, but Cavanaugh disputed
that jurist's Jurisdiction. II 9 also claimed
that Henry was prejudiced against him,
and Insisted that the case should be heard
II Justice Munger's court at SutIerviile
This proposition did not suit Goods, and
he suggested that Justice McMahon of
Oak Park should try it.
Cayanaugh drew the line at McMahon,
and finally it was decided to let Justice
Devine determine the merits of the case.

ART LECTURES
A Course of Six is Announced by the
Kingsley Art Club.

A Course of Six is Announced by the
Kingsley Art Club.
The Kingsley Art Club will formally
open it's course of lectures upon Greek
archaeology next Friday evening at
Pythian Castle. Professor Miller of STAN
ford University will then continue the
discussion of pictures illustrative of
various stages of Grecian art and history,
after the manner of the charming pres
entation giving gratuitously to the pub
lie by the Art Club and the Teachers
Institute few days ago.
These lectures will be in themselves a
liberal education, and one that Sacra-
mento, already nucleus of art, will no
doubt quickly avail itself of.
Tickets for the course of six lectures
may be obtained for 81 30 at Purnell's
book store, and at the drug stores of
Ing Il Alice. Peters IL Ray. Single adj
missions will be 30 cents, while the course
ticket reduces the rates to p cents. 1t is
to be hoped, therefore, that the public
will consult its own interest by purchas-
ing the former.
The lectures are not only full of hiStor-
ical interest, but they have high pictorial
value and interest, because illustrated by
beautiful stereopticon views in great
mum ber. thrown upon a large screen by
a powerful electric light.
The Kingsley trt Club is COMPOSED of
ladies OF Sacramento who are studying
art history and development as means
OF broadening their views and equipping
them better TO appreciate art and the
beautiful and true in painting, sculpture
and architecture. They have fine room
fitted up, and upon its walls hangs the
collection of fine etchings by Edward
Kingsley, who presented them to the
club.
The ladies have not arranged for the
course OF lectures to make money, but to
afford Sacramento people the advantage
of knowledge that will benefit anu refine
all who hear the accomplished student OF
art who delivers the discourses.
These good women should be supported
in their effort. Let no one think the
lectures are dry and toploftical. On the
contrary, they are gems of beauty and
mines Of information, and though one
may not nave given any thought to art
or art history, he or she cannot fail 10 be
entertained or instructed by hearing Pro-
| fessor Miller. This the ladies know, and
hence their urgency upon the people to
attend.
