A SENSIBLE MAN,
And How He Averted a Break in the
Family.

A Brooklyn youth of the tender age of II
chafed under the tedious and trying ordeal
of daily piano practice. His soul was not
attuned to music, and so he ventured one
day to remark to his mother that he had
great notion to run away. His father was
informed of the fact on the latters return
at night. He was a sensible man, and he
had quiet way of dealing with questions,
whether of moment or otherwise that gen.
orally carried the day. He did not say any
thing until the little family was seated at
the dinner table, and then he observed
rather indifferently:
''Normie, your mother informs me that
you talked of running away. Now, my
son, you needn't do that. If you want TO
leave US, let US know where you want to
go and we will get You up in good shape.
What place have you in your mind tnat
you would like to visit, and how long do
you think you would like to stay? And
dc you prefer the seashore, or would the
mountains be more in accordance with
your taste? Do you think you need new
suit of clothes, or do you want to stay
away SO long that you will be able by that
time to buy your own clothes? | think
your mother had better get OUT your trunk
tonight, because you surely Will need
more than vallse.
.tCalifornia is a pleasant place to visit at
this season of the year, and II you Will
only let your mother know by tomorrow
where you expect to go can soon buy a
ticket for you. My son. you need never
talk of running away. There is no neces-
sity for that. Only, if you remain home,
you must obey certain rules that are Tor
your good, and obey them without ques-
ton. Remember your schooling and
your music lessons cost money, and your
parents do not propose to throw this
away"
By this time the face of the involuntary
listener to the table lecture was getting
about as red as could be, and the owner OF
the juvenile head was letting it hang down
as far as he could without breaking the
neck. 1t is said that the subject of running
| away has not been mentioned In that
household since the interview in question.

you something. do not know what your
arrangements on Monday may be, but
would your time allow you to play one
piece during the afternoon to an invalid
lady, whose health procludes her from 60
ing to any crowded concert-room, and she
is consequently debarred from the plea
sure OF hearing you play, which she SIM
ply longs to do? [ am sorry / cannot
make it really worth your while to give
my poor friend this great treat; but if you
will accept half guinea for the loss OF
time should be most grateful. Should
you be good enough to grant this request,
will you kindly let me know where and at
what time the lady could meet you on
Monday morning or afternoon? l am
much looking forward to the pleasure Of
hearing you in the evening"
Such magnificent sum certainly could
not have tempted the eminent musician,
who certainly cannot have played during
recent years for such a sum. Whatever
may have been the reason-probably it
was good nature-Paderewski complied,
and conferred favor upon the invalid
which hundreds of grand ladies would
have paid heavily to purchase. When the
impromptu concert was over the lady ex-
tended her hand and dexterously trans
ferred half guinea to the virtuoso's palm.
"Ah, what is this?" asked Paderewski.
''The half guinea I promised you" Il
really believe" he replied pleasantly,
that shall be able to get to the next
town without it, and he returned the
money.

THE BICYCLE CRAZE.
James Carmichael Brought From Santa
Cruz on Charge of Grand
Larceny.

The bicycle craze has seized upon all
sorts and conditions of men, and the pro-
prietors of cycling establishments are, con-
sequently, subjected to considerable loss
and annoyance by an undesirable class
renting machines and forgetting to return
them.
Complaints are being frequently received
at police headquarters of missing machines,
which are, in most cases, found in pawn
shops and returned to the owners.
A few days ago James Carmichael, alias
James Smith, rented a machine from the
Morrin Cycle Company, 3O5 Van Ness
avenue. 1t was a valuable machine, and
when Carmichael failed to make his appear
ance they became anxious. Next day they
reported the matter to the police, and as it
was believed that Carmichael had left the
City, outside places were notified.
On Friday word was received from Santa
Cruz that Carmichael had been offering to
sell bicycle there for $40. The police
were requested to hold him till an officer
arrived from this City. Sergeant Burke
went to Santa Cruz on Friday night and
returned with Carmichael yesterday morn.
ing. Carmichael was booked on charge of
grand larceny.

MEETING OF GUN CLUBS,
SportSmen Who Are Inter-
ested in Inanimate Target
Shooting.
NEW PROPOSITION ADVANCED
A Strong Association Has Been
Formed for the Purpose OF Pro-
noting the Sport.

A large representation of sportsmen as
sembled last evening at the Olympic Club
in response to communication addressed
to the secretaries of the different gun
clubs of this City and State by the Olym-
pic Gun Club to meet for the purpose OF
forming State Inanimate Target Associa-
ton.
M. c. Allen of the Olympic Gun Club
was appointed temporary chairman and G.
T. Schaeffer of the Stockton Gun Club
temporary secretary.
The clubs represented we're: Empire,
by William Crosse, Colonel S. I. Kellogg
and ]. R. D. Grub; Lincolns, by D.
Daniel and Charles Cate; Electric, by E.
Foster and A. R. Crowell; Alameda County
Sportsmen's Association, by A. r. Crowell;
Nimrod, by R. Liddle Jr; Stockton, by G.
T. Schaeffer and ]. Plump Freeport, by
+. L. Hunt; Elcho, by +. J. Crane; Mill
Valley Country Club. by A. A. Martin
Olympic, by III. H. White, M. C. Allen
and L. D. Owens.
Letters from several clubs in the country
who were unable to be represented were
read. wishing the scheme all the success it
deserves.
The membership fee was placed at $40
a year, and any sportsman not mem
D0i VI d Vi up represented III LneeaSSOC1aClOn
may be elected on payment of 81 dues a
year; but nonmem bers will have no voice
IN the management of the association s
affairs.
1t was decided that the association will
hold its first tournament in September.
Delegates from the clubs already men
toned will meet at the Olympic Club on
the evening of the 18th inst. to form a per-
manent organization. A committee on
constitution and bylaws was appointed
from the clubs represented and is as fol-
lows: Electric Gun Club, Edgar Foster
Visalia Club, o. M. Judy; Mill Valley, A.
A. Martin; Stockton, George Dietz; En-
pire, j. r. d. Grub: Lincoln, d. Daniels
Elcho of Greenbrae. E. ]. Crane; Freeport,
M. f. Hunt; Nimrod, R. Liddle Jr. !;
Olympic, w. ]. Golcher; Sportsmen' s
Association of Alameda, F. e. Miller.
Of course, when a permanent association
is formed, some changes may be made in
the order of business transacted last even
ing, which was really only an introduc-
tory affair to what gives promise of being
one of the strongest organizations of
sportsmen interested in inanimate shoot
ing on this side of the Rocky Mountains.
Secretary Gilmer of the San Joaquin Val
ley Gun Club wrote that the members OF
his club were heart and soul in the under
taking, and that they would do all in their
power to assist in the success of the project.

0ARSMEN IN TRAINING.
Items of ScuIlers and Aquatic Sports
men Who Are Preparing for
Matches.

The rowing clubs propose to keep alive
the interest in aquatic sport, and at re-
cent meeting of the officers of the different
clubs it was decided TO give special prizes
to oarsmen who will succeed in lowering
records This is new scheme, by which
the promoters of manly sport hope to in
crease the interest in rowing.
AS the prospects for Fourth of July
regatta look far from promising, the oars.
men have almost concluded to train for the
Stockton races, and crews will be sent to
compete for the prizes that will be offered
for competition.
1t is reported that the Pacific Parlor of
the Native Sons of the Golden West has
among its members some very clever oars
men who are anxious to measure strokes
with crew from the Rincon Parlor.
Henry Peterson, e. Wilson, William
Growney, Dampke brothers and the Camp
bell brothers are among the oarsmen who
represent the Natives.
The South End senior barge crew has re-
ceiyed handsome trophy which it won at
the recent regatta. The South Enders are
now champions of the Coast, and although
they will not issue any challenge they are
prepared to defend their title against all
challengers. The club will stand all ex-
penses of the race which will be rowed
next Sunday by the junior crews pur-
posely to decide the mooted question of
supremacy.
Charley Long, well-known local oars
man, who retired from active practice a
few years ago, has again taken up the oars
and is fast getting into his old form.
All that Long hopes for now is to see
tommy. Sullivan and Tom Flynn pitch
their bicycles to the winds and take to
sculling again. Long is never as happy on
the the water as when leading Flynn and Sui
! IL.
Bridge course. The South End Boat Olu6
Is contemplating the sending of a large
crew to Santa Cruz to take part in the car
nlval OF sport. Frank Duplissea, young
member of the South Enders, would like
70 meet some OF the amateur single
sculiers OF Santa Cruz in a spin of a mile
or two. His trainer is of the oninion that
the South End Club will have Champion
single-sculler in Duplissea when he grows
to be few years older.

HAILsToNEs THROUGH THE ROOF,
The Inmates Saved Their Lives by
Crawling Under the Eeds

The Inmates Saved Their Lives by
Crawling Under the Beds.
One OF the worst hailstorms this section
has experienced in many wears passed
through a portion of San Patricio and
Nueces counties last Wednesday NIGHT
about 8 o'clock, says recent issue of the
Corpus Christi Caller. The hail. which
was followed by heavy rain, lasted only
for few minutes, and while it covered a
good piece OF territory, the destructive
part OF 1t was only about two miles wide,
commencing In San Patricio County about
Meanwhile and passing south across
Nueees Bay into this county, taking in on
Its march the farms of J. FL. Roark. John
Dunn and others in that neighborhood
west OF this city. Mr.. Roark, who was in
town last evening, says the hailstones
came down straight through the roof of
his house, broke thirty glass globes and
destroyed good portion of his crop.
Inc worst report of all comes from
meanwhile, about seventeen miles from
TINS city at the head of Nueces Bay, where
nallsIones Tell as large as goose eggs and
completely ruined the farms of G. L.
H,oore, Il. A. Anthony and A. Wilkinson.
MI MI. moore, who arrived in Corpus Christi
Iast night, gives very sorry account of
Inc terrible storm which completely

dollar Last Wednesday he had between
~ and 100 acres of cotton, 80 acres in corn,
Io acres In beans. besides several acres in
melons and other products, all growing
nicely. He had good home and felt
easy.
That night the hail came and swept all
MS crop away except two acres of potatoes
ana half acre of ribbon corn. The
halistones came down through the roof of
ms house, making holes large enough to
throw cat through them.
His wife and children had to take refuge
under the bed. His mother, aged SO years,
saved her life by getting under the bed
also. The family was nearly frightened to
death, and his wife is laid up in bed from
the effects of her experience, though his
mother stood it well. The large hailstones,
which were of all shapes, tore the roof off
his kitchen and Aiming room, broke all his
dishes and killed his chickens and turkeys,
which, if they could have been spared to
him, would have helped him to make a
living.
Mr.. Moore says after the storm was over
the hail could be seen banked up in the
yard like snow. When he left home yes
terday at II o'clock a mass of hail was seen
at one corner of his house as large as
bucket. His animals suffered the least;
the storm blew his fences and pig-pens
down, and his stock ran among the timber
and escaped with little injury.

IN THE CRICKET FIELD.
A Scratch Match Played at the Ala
media Ground-Matchesf for
To-Day.

At the Webster-street grounds the Ala
media "B" division was again to the fore in
defeating an eleven from the Preside.
Winning the toss, the soldiers sent in
their opponents, and were playing great
havoc with them until Lewis and Clark
became partne rs, when the score was
raised to "a. Then Clark, who had played
most patiently, was clean bowled by Rob-
ertson, his score of 9 being made in about
an hour. Lewis was run out after making
80 by very good cricket, his hitting being
well timed and clean. After his departure
the inning was soon finished, with Y runs
to the home team S credit.
When the soldiers went to bat it looked
as if they would be badly beaten, as four
wickets fell for nine runs, but Robertson
and Gellatly took the score to 50. OF the
remainder Croll, who is better known at
Alameda than at the Preside, made II
which materially helped to save his
side from total defeat, the inning closing
for 81, which left the Alamedas victorious
by 10 runs Score:
