That Word "Tote."

EDS. RECORD UNION: / see whole
column in the last WEEKLY-UNIoN de-
voted to the origin of the word,
so I will tell its origin, as it was
told me more than fifty years
ago. In the early settlement of the
country the settlers down the rivers did
their trading in boats. They would load
boat and GO to the nearest trading post.
At times the water would be low and the
boat would ground, so they would get
out. Some on the sides and others hold
of the line would haul and lift the boat
over. If any one should ask how the
water was at such a place the answer
would be-. 1--WE had to tow it over"
Through one of the settlements there ran
small creek, or stream, in which there
was small boat, or dugout. The boys
would get into the boat and paddle up
and down, playing going trading, and
when they ground they would yell out
Let's tow; 1t let's tow it." So out they
would get; some would lift and others
haul, and have a grand time. A little
girl, who could rot speak plain, came
running down, saving, "Let me tote, let
me tote" and in the water she went.
One of the boys picked her up and said,
81 will tote you to the house." At that
the children took up the word, and tote
this and tote that ever since. So the word
is baby talk. BACKwooDsMAN.

A man named George Hunter, while

men who endeavored to rob him.
One Of the men threw an overcoat over
Hunters head and the other was at

GERS Fisher and Hayes hove in sight and
put stop to further proceedings.
On seeing the officers the robbers ran
into the rear of the Steamboat Exchange
saloon, on Front street, where they were
cornered and taken to Jail.
The saloon was so full of men of the
lowest class that it was with some diff
Guilty the footpads were taken at all. as
some of the men in the place manifested

There was lively domestic row, in
which pistol took prominent part, in

Seventh and Eighth, yesterday afternoon.
woman named Mrs. Belle Donnell
claims that her husband struck her on
the mouth and otherwise maltreated her,
and in her anger she fired five shots in
the direction he was in, but as to whether
or not she intended the bullets to take
effect is matter of conjecture, as she
says she only fired the shots to scare her
husband.
After Mrs. Donnell emptied the pistol,
Donnell wreSted the weapon from her
and went out on the sidewalk, with the
woman in pursuit.
A large crowd collected in front of the
premises where the shooting took place,
and the woman, with blood streaming
from her face, was taken to the police
station, together with her husband, by
Officers Higgins and Bagley.
On examining the hallway of the
house in which the shooting occurred, it
was found that all of the shots took effect
in the ceiling.
AS no serious results occurred, a charge
merely OF drunkenness will be placed
against the parties, as both were decid
edly under tho influence OF liquor.

ADJUSTMENTS

At the Clunie Opera house this evening
the stock company will present BARLEY
Campbell's successful melodrama, THE
White Slave" with Miss Kate Dagleish in
the title role. 1t will be given with new
scenery, novel mechanical effects, new
music aud fitting properties. The play
will be cast 10 the full strength of the
opera-house stock company. Pains nave
not been spared in preparation for this
production, and the management feels
confident that it will greatly please the
theater-going public and have a sue
cesSful run.
"The Lions Mouth" was played at the
Metropolitan Theater by the Warde-
James combination Saturday night to
good but not a crowded house. The piece
was finely mounted, and played in a
thoroughly artistic manner; nothing was
left wanting anu the even excellence of
the leaders left the audience divided in
opinion between Frederick Warde and
Louis James as to which outranks
the other. Not in a long time
have the public and the local
management being made so deeply sens
ible OF the value of proper stage fitting in
achieving success with play. Warde
and James set their plays with that atten-
ton TO details in furniture, scenery, cos
tunes, properties, supernumeraries' sup
port, ETC., that counts for so much and
goes so far TO make up an effective dra-
matte picture. Even a weak play gains
immensely by elaboration in staging and
in the surroundings OF the mimic scene.
The most powerful of plays and brilliant
OF artists, on the other hand, struggle
against the current when the stage is bare
and there is little heed given 10 the pre-
servation of the unities and the finish OF
picture by stage detail. Mr.. Warde was
called out on Saturday night and made
brief speech, that clearly came from the
heart, when he made acknowledge
ment for the favors always shown him
in Sacramento and the many compli-
ments of hospitality paid TO him and his
company He promised that he would
visit the city again early next year.
Sousa's Band gave an afternoon and an
evening concert at the New Pavilion yes

losers. 1t is 10 be said that these gentle
men kept full faith with the public and
every promise made; fitted up wing OF
the pavilion very nicely, and made it
possible for a concert 10 be given there,
with greater care to the performers and
satisfaction to the public, than ever be-
fore. They managed all details well, and
that they are to come out losers is TO be
regretted. Sousa's Band consists of fifty

composed of much more competent mu-
sicians than the Marine Band, which
Sousa brought here two years ago. The
soprano singer accompanying the band,
Miss Mecusker, is by no means brilliant
or notable. She has good voice,
strong and well in hand and manages
it with good deal OF dramatic
effect. But Miss Mecusker is not phe-
nomenal nor stellar. Perhaps we do not
boast when we say that Sacramento can
furnish her equal, ana probably her su-
perlor. from among our local singers.
She is not TO be mentioned in the same
breath with Decka, whom Sousa pre-
sented as he prima donna two years ago.
The programmes were pleasing and were
executed admirably. For evenness, time
and discipline the band is faultless.
Standing without comparisons in mind.
1t is splendid organization, and gives
concerts that may well excite the praise
OF the eXacting. SOusa was very oblig-
ing IN responding to encOres, and except
for single number doubled his after
noon programme to oblige the auditors.
So, too, at night he responded 10 the ex-
tent OF adding half more to the numbers
on the programme. The band departed
for the East last night.
Miss Irma Fitch's concert takes place
Wednesday night at the Congregational
Church. and the programme promises
fine musical entertainment. Local pride
III the singer is quickening curiosity to
hear her after two years of absence and
assiduous study. Seats can be secured at
Purnell's book store, 609 j street, without
extra charge.

engagement, to begin tomorrow night,

Switchboard is popular enough in Eng

here, but it is doubtful whether it ever
penetrated this country as far as Buffalo
or Pittsburg. 1t obtained here in drink
ing saloons run by Scotchmen, and the
last of the boards are now to be found
in one such place in Brooklyn and very
few in this city. 1t is the same game as
that which is played on shipboard, but in
reality both are forms of the old Scotch
sport of curling. Switchboard as it is
played most commonly is played with
one pound weights on long thick board
kept well sanded. 1t requires skill to
slide the weights to just the right place,
and it requires more skill for the other
fellow to knock them off after they get
there.-New York Sun.

An Acrobatic Shine.

The man was tall and lank, with keen
blue eyes, looking over a nose like par.
rot's beak. A shaggy growth of uneven
whiskers sprouted in patches from his
face, and he wore long drab ulster,
which partly covered huge pair of mud
covered topboots, into which were stuffed
the ends of a varicolored pair of overalls.
With a badly worn carpet gripsick in
his hand he leaned against the wire fence
beside the registers Office and called a
bootblack.
Two Italians responded, and each
claimed the customer. After vollev of
Mulberry street explosives each grabbed
a foot and set to work. The man eyed
them closely and clutched his grip lit
tie tighter. In a moment the bootblacks
renewed their dispute, and in their anger
yanked the mans feet in the air. For
moment he poised, balanced on the wire,
and then with whoop fell backward
upon the withered grass plot. A crowd
collected, and the Italians scampered off.
Their victim, with one boot shined and
the other muddy, picked himself up
slowly.

He assembled the steps to the bridge
and was soon swallowed in the crowd
