only suited TO a nation OF scoundrels; II
IL did rot find them so, 1t would make
them So" Now, while the opinion OF
the sage of Roanoke may be questioned
by some all must admit that the facility
for fraud or incorporating the will OF
the voters IL much increased by the bal
l0,. and how to correct this bad tendency
Is the work Of the modern legislator.
The predominant Characteristic of the bal

trict Court yesterday morning to enter his
plea OF guilty to charge of perjury for
having drawn the pension of Edward
Hlllzlnger for several years past he created
quite scene.
Hillzinger has been dead six years, and
since that time the dead mans imper-
senator has been drawing his pension,
amounting to $12 month. When the
,self-confessed impostor stood up in court
yesterday morning he was perfectly calm
and self-possessed, and announced in the
most matter-of-fact way that he would like
to plead guilty to the charge of perjury,
but in connection Herewith he wanted to
tell the court he was insane; that he had
been confined in Stockton several times,
and that members of his family were
afflicted in similar manner.
The Judge was puzzled. By his own ad-
mission the prisoner was guilty, and had
sent word to that effect from the Alameda
County Jail, where he had been confined,
and he was also guilty, as he prepared
himself to prove, of insanity. Insanity
was put forth in extenuation of his crime.
Judge Morrow appointed Attorney
Whitman to look after the prisoners case,
and after consulting the United States
District Attorney it was decided to let
Gruber appear this morning and plead
guilty to one count in the perjury charge.

One man barred breast from which be-

broken ribs. He served in the navy for
five years before the war and during the
struggle. He received his wound when
serving on the Hartford at Fort Fisher. A
fragment of shell tore his chest so that
the surgeons told him he could not live;
but he survived and now draws the munifi-
cent sum of Sc a month. His name is
John Field, and like many of his
old comrades he longs for declaration of
war which might enable him once more to
fight for the flag he loves. His record is
good one and on the strength of it he is
going to try to get into the navy once
more.

TRIP TO MOUNT >HASTA.
Very Enjoyable Excursion of One Hun
dren and Fifty Ladies and
Gentlemen.


One hundred and fifty people started fol
Mount Shasta on an excursion last Satur.
day, under W. H. Menton's guidance.
This number was the limit, although fully
as many more wanted to go.
The excursionists were mostly profes-
sional and business men, anxious for a
mountain airing, university students,
glad to get away from the prosaic curricu-
lum. and school teachers who had been
laboring unto WEAKNESS training the young
mind how to grapple with problems Of lam
gu age and figures. For them it was a
great relief to get away from the smoke
and dust OF great city, and while being
whlrled along in comfortable Pullmans rest
the body and refresh the mind.
A brief stop was made at Sacramento,
and afterward the remainder of the night
was given up by some to sleep and others
to pleasant conversation and watching the
fantastic shades, weird mountain outlines.
and the silvery river.
Breakfast was eaten at the Tavern of
Castle CIags, and observation cars were
taken on at Dunsmuir. The day was per-
feet, and the grand panorama of noun
tain and forest was viewed to the best of
advantage. The ascent of Shasta caused
considerable wondering over the engineer
ing skill which made it easy.
On the return trip Shasta Springs and
Mossbrae Falls were visited and luncheon
was bad at Castle Crags, where Sweetbrier
Camp was visited. San Francisco was
reached early Monday morning.

MOVING THE WHEAT CROP
Large Fleet of Ships Chartered
and on Their Way to
This Port.
Over Three Hundred and Fifty
Thousand Tons for a Foreign
Market.

AS the harvest comes on apace the ques-
ton of finding market for the output of
the California grain fields is uppermost in
the minds of shippers. A prominent wheat
man stated yesterday that much of the
900 tons of Fair wheat will be used for
milling purposes here.
In other holdings there are about $50 900
tons which will doubtless be shipped away
to make room for the new crop, which will
begin to come in next month. In port
there are about twenty vessels already
chartered, of which number three are
American, twenty-three British: one is
German and one Italian. Of the ships
here disengaged there are four British and
one American. These thirty-three vessels
represent tonnage of almost 100, 900 tons.
F or the remainder of the cargoes of old
and new wheat there are seventy-seven
vessels on the way to this port from
Atlantic ports. both United States and
Europe, forty-nine coal vessels from New
castle and thirty-five from Swansea.
Wheat charters are going from 81 IS to

There is an understanding among the
members of the board concerning the dis
tribution of patronage, under which each
has his own certain portion-not always,
however, so absolutely certain as the spirit
of the understanding might indicate.
1t was DR.. Regensburger's turn this
time and he came with the name of Nc
Greer to propose. He was confident of
meeting with no opposition in the matter,
for the appointment not only belonged to
him, but Mrs. McGreer had the distin-
guished honor of being recommended for
the place by Governor Budd.
The doctors, as stated, came early-the
meeting was called for quarter past II
o'clock, and while Mayor Sutro was per-
spring a little at the head of the table up
in the Supervisors rooms debating
whether the big-breasted angel with the
clipped wings designed to stand up in the
wind on the dome should be made of
bronze or not they (the doctors) shut
themselves in the vaccination-rooms, and
DR.. Regensburger learned that he was not
to be allowed to put his candidate in the
place offhand.
Or. Mays had a candidate in Mrs Blake,
the widow of physician, who is herself
something of a doctor. Furthermore, he
learned that Mrs. Blake had another friend
in the board in DR.. Mays. These two de-
clared their intention OF voting first, last
and all the time for the physicians
widow, despite DR.. Regensburger' insist
ment that the right to name the appointee
fell to him.
Mayor Sutro had not had the benefit of
the caucus discussion, but had been ap-
praised of the merits of the case of Mrs.
Blake, very evidently, for when he called
the meeting to order and stated its pur-
pose he called for nominations in tone
of voice that indicated he was looking for
them. The two names were mentioned
In voting DR.. Regensburger was supported
by DR.. Bucknall, and DR.. Long supported
DR.. Mays, and the Mayors vote was neces-
sary to decide the matter.
He hesitated a minute. "You say that
Mrs. Blake has studied medicine2" he
asked, turning to DR.. Mays.
eyes, your Honor; studied it with her
husband, who was physician, but who is
now dead"
az shall vote for Mrs. Blake" said the
Mayor, and Governor Budd's candidate
was defeated
To say that DR.. Regensburger was dis
gusted is lid term. He predicted after
the meeting that this action would hasten
the dissolution of the present board by the
appointment of the new, but Mrs. Blake's
friends only smiled at this, saying that the
days of the present board were probably
limited to the present fiscal year in any
case, but that the Governor would not
likely change his course by so much as a
hair on account of it.

IN OLD ST. MARY's.
A Vocal and Instrumental Concert Led
by Fritz Scheel.

A Vocal and Instrumental Concert Led
by Fritz Scheel.
The vocal and instrumental concert
given last evening in old st. Mary's
church was enjoyed by large audience.
The instrumental music was rendered by
Fritz Scheel's orchestra, and the vocal
music was by Miss Alice Canning and a
choir composed of Mrs. Giudicelli, Mrs. E..
Silva, G. Stanley. Jennie Haley, Kitty
Duffy, Lizzie Devine, Jeanette Coleman,
Nellie Ford Fannie Haussman, Minnie
Byrne, Mary Higgins, Jennie Paula, Miss
Plunkett, Miss Julia Sullivan and Messrs.
E. McBain, w. G. Mugan. W. Durham, G.
Meleen, l.. Walsh, G. Gagan, w. O'Brien,
S. J. Sandy, H. Duran and James Lane.
The altar was tastefully decorated with
flowers and evergreens, and within the
with Miss Marie Giorgiani, the organist of
the church.
Before the leader lifted his baton, Father
Wyman made brief statement to the
effect that st. Mary's had always been
noted for hrst-class music and that that
reputation would be kept up. The concert,
a sacred one, was for the benefit of the
church, and he then stated that such con-
certs In church are not unusual and they
had been sanctioned by the highest author
tiles of the church. He requested the
audience not to make any demonstration
of approval of the several numbers. The
following was the programme:
Priests march, from "Athalia" Men
delssohn); overture, "God Is Strong Fortress
(Raff); andante (Tschaikowsky); Ave Maria,
'Cavalleria Rusticana" (Mascagni), sung by
Miss Alice Canning; selection from 'Lohen-
grim (Wagner); "Peace Festival OVERTURE
{Reinke); prelude to "King Manfred (Reinke) +;
Loreley (Bruch); (a) Funeral March,
Chopin; (b) choral (Bach); Procession of the
Women to the Cathedral (Wagner).
The instrumental portion of the pro-
gramme was rendered with that exquisite
ness of harmony that in the past has
marked the rendition of Scheel's orchestra,
while the solo and choral music was fault
less, and had it not been for the request of
Father Wyman the audience would have
given the seal of its approval in hearty ap-
plause.
