The Tipping Plague In England.

An English lady who read what ap-
peared last week in your columns about
tips to servants. gives me an annecdote
that shows how much the Prince of
W Wales' crusade against them is needed
She goes III for temperance, liberalism,
philanthropy, etc. One OF her footman
came to her the other day ito represent
his case" What is your case Joseph ?"
she said. Pm sure il will give me pleas
ure To give you all fair satisfaction"
My case, your ladyship, is this. Your
ladyship las on visits too many philan-
thropic and psychological women, and
that sort of thing. They give such small
tips that | feel as A.ned of myself for re-
ceiving them. Tns temperance women
give no tips at all. l suppose they think
we servants spend all our tips in drink.
Formerly sthe tips usod to be nearly
equal TO the wages. l counted on them
continuing so. This is my ole case, and
L beg to inform your Iadyship that l
speak for Jemiina aud Susan, the house,
maids, and for Green. the coachman."
The lady answered that she feared she
must get new set OF servants, and that,
whether she did or not, she would cause
placards to be posted in all the guests
rooms to inform them that servants were
not allowed to receive tips. She was
ready to allow. however, small increase
in the wages. II that was not satlsfact-
ory, all might leave, and at once, if they
desired. They took her at her word

REMARKABLE SHOOTING YESTERDAY
Second Day of the State Sportsmen's
0urnament.
The Fay Diamond Medal Won by Crit
tenden Robinson in Very
Hot Race.

The shooting tournament of the State
Sportsmen's Association is proving a
great success. There was large attend
ance yesterday. and it is expected that
several new men will face the traps to-
day. Pigeon pot-pie should be plentiful
for several days to come. as no less shan
one hundred dozen birds were disposed
of yesterday aud sent to the markets.
This morning eighty dozen more Will be
received from San Francisco, and one
hundred dozen are promised for Satur-
day.
Notwithstanding the large number OF
birds shot yesterday there were not
enough to complete the four regular
events of the day. the last one being un-
finished on that account
William Robertson OF San Francisco
officiated as referee at yesterdays shoot
ing and George Lammer as scorer. Gus
Rose handled the trap strings. The man
agement Of the affair is excellent, and
everything goes like clockwork.
The chiet event yesterday was the
shoot for the Fay diamond medal, held
by Martinez Chick of San Diego. There
were twenty-five contestants, each OF
whom paid an entrance fee Of So, which
wont to the holder of the medal, and 1t
netted Mr.. Chick the neat sum of Sll0.
The medal was won by Crittenden Rob-
inson of San Francisco, after hot race
with Ed. Nicolaus of this city: They,
with l.. 5. Upson of this city, Mr.. Fan
ming of San Francisco. and Mr.. Sterling
OF Stockton. tied on twenty birds, and
shot Off at five more Robinson and
Nlcolaus tied again, and shot another
round, which was also a tie. on the third
round Nicolaus lost bird, and Robinson
making a clean score won the medal. The
young SacramenIan was rOundly cheered
Tor his plubky race with the veteran.
Robinson doesn't like to be called a
veteran, as he claims to be only about 30
years old, but there are a few men yet
living VINO can remember having in their
younger days gaZed on his bald head.
But, whether veteran or youth, his
shooting yesterday was remarkable. Out
of some 10 birds shot at Mr. Robinson
lost but one, and that was in the untin-
ished match.

EIectrIclty in Calholic Churchcs.

The telephone and the electric light have
been the subjects of serious discussion by
the Sacred Congregation OF Bishops and
Regulars in Rome. Asked whether the
Installation of the telephone in convent
might be permitted, the congregation de-
cided atfirmatively, with the double
stipulation. however, that the apparatus
should only be used on grave OCCASIONS
ana that the communications should only
be made in the presence of two of the
sisters. Regarding the employment OF
the electric light in churches the Congre-
cation decided that although it might be
used for the illumination or the building.
it must not serve directly in the celebra-
ton of ceremonies strictly belonging TO
the act OF worship. In other words,
when a light is prescribed by the liturgy
for any ceremony, candles are obligatory,

'Smoky'' Em~"son Stabbed by John
Murphy.
A cutting af1ray between a young
colored man named smoky" Emerson,
who spends most of his time on lower l.
street, and q man named John Murphy,
took place in the saloon conducted by
Googy Welch on l. street, between
Third and Fourth, last night. Both men
say the cutting was accidental, but there
are olhors who are of the opinion that it
was not accidental, but deliberately done.
Shortly before II O'clock officer Talbot
WAS standing at Second and II streets,
when Emerson came up TO him and said
he Was cut Murphy was there also and
Talbot took both men to the police sta
ton. There it was found that Emerson
had been stabbed on the right
side OF the chest with the blade
OF a small pock knife. The point
of it struck one OF the ribs, which pre-
vented what otherwise might have been a
serious wound. Emerson lost considera-
ble blood, but outside of that he is not
otherwise materially injured. He insists
that he and Murphy were sKylarking,
and that the latter accidentally plunged
the blade of the knife INFO him.
Both men were detained pending an III
vestigatIou into the affair.

iect until the last hour the raising of re-
slstant vines. and there will come time
when vines will be so scarce in California
that the few who have them will realize a
fortune. That, at least, is what some

OF course the evil there is in the world
should be condemned, but the good there
is in the world should also be com
mended. And that there is a vast deal OF
good in the world every candid person
Will admit. No one can go along the
streets, for example. without meeting
twenty kind and courteous persons, who
are ready to do him any favor he can
reasonably ask, to one who is morose and
refuses to do him good turn. And We
are confident that this proportion OF good
and bad would hold good all through So
ciety at large If we could find way of
sitting them out. That the bad often
seems to predominant is due 10 the fact
that we are generally so intent upon our
own selfish concerns that we do not bring
out the good. In business, in politics, in
social life, even in religious circles. we
are apt TO regard things purely from a
personal or selfish point Of view, and our
attitude in this respect naturally antag-
onizes most of the people with whom we
come in contact.
But let business and politics and social
pre-eminence aud religious preiudices be
wholly laid aside for awhile, and let a
person go into the world with no selfish
purposes in view, bent solely upon en-
joying himself and promoting the enjoy
ment of others, and forthwith the whole
atmosphere will be changed for him. He
will find that ninety-nine out of a hun
dred persons are ready to meet him half
way, and to help HIM TO make the world
happier by making it better. He will
find that nearly every person he sees Is
as ready to forget his own small selfish
interests, and to enjoy life in the highest
possible way.

THE BUREAU OF HIGHWAYS.
Stockton Independent.
Mem bers of the Bureau OF Highways
have been in Sonora recently, but their
suggestions for improvement do not seem
to have been well received. The Demo-
cratic Banner says:
MANY of their suggestions contem-
plated the outlay of large amount of
money annually, and while good for the
wealthy counties in the State were TAI
above the reach of Tuolunne at the pres
ent rate OF taxation.''
An article on the subject in the Union
Democrat recently said:
"Iuolumne County needs only that
mans common sense and industry
snould be exercised to wrought wonders
in her welfare. One of the most lament
able facts that:confronts us, and max es
our growth more slow, is the lack of g
single good road leading through the
county"
The truth Of this applies with peculiar
force to Iuolumne County. Material foI
making good roads lies ready at hand all
along line from Sonora to Oakdale. and
all that is needed is the exercise of tie
common sense and industry OF which the
CRlOn Democrat speaks. The trouble
with the Bureau OF Highways seems to
he that 1t has conceived theories in ad-
vance. and its memb bers talk as if the
theories were equally applicable to all
regions.

THAT BOYCOTT"
Stockton Mail.

The Chicago I35bu1e entirely misap-
prehends the situation on this coast.
There is no boycott III California, aud
there is no intention. so far as the Mat is
aware, to adopt any policy of exclusion
OF Eastern manufactures. The truth
about the matter that has inspired the
fears of the Chicago writer is that the
manufacturers in san Francisco have
united in the organization of literary
bureau TO boom their products aud are
calling on the people to buy their wares.
While the people of this coast, like their
countrymen III the East, believe in up
holding local lHdustries, they are gov
erned by their .Istes and pockets when
they come to make their purchases. Fur
thermore, they are largely influenced in
affairs OF trade by advertising. This is
the weak poiut with California manu-
iacturers. They either do not advertise
their products or they use the columns OF
the local press so ieebly that more than
threeiOurlns OF the Inhabitants Of the
State are unconscious OF their existence.
