THE RIFLE.
California Schuetzen Club Spring
Festival at San Rafael.

California Schuetzen Club Spring
Festival at San Rafael.
One Off not the principal-event of the
season will be the great spring rifle
shooting festival of the California Schuet-
zen Club at San Rafael Park.
Over ninety prizes have been received by
the secretary of the club for the honorary
target contest, which promises to eclipse
in the way of remarkable scores anything
that has heretofore been attempted.
There will be no end to the noise of crack
ing rifles and the smell of burned powder
In the language of Billy Jordan, the
famous master of ceremonies of prize
fights, it will be the event of the season.
The total amount of prizes which will be
shot for on this auspicious occasion
amounts to $500.
f. Schuman, the proprietor of the park,
is arranging an excellent programme of
games, ETC., for Sunday, April 5, in con-
junction with the great shooting festival.
Rihe-shooters from all parts of the State
will be present.
The following item recently appeared in
the Banffshire Journal, a Scotch paper,
concerning some wonderful shooting:
Mr.. Edward Charles Russell Ross, who won
the first Queens prize at Vim bledon in 1860,
when he was only 19 years OF age, and who
afterward became one of the most cele-
brated deer-stalkers of his time, died on the lst
inst. at North Berwick. He was 55 years of
age. His great skill as pis tol shot may be
gathered when IL is mentioned that one occa-
sion, for a bet, he brought down nineteen out

tor, Prince EsterhaZy, by hitting butterflies
fiuttering in his garden.

the law he notified all. through the
medium of the press. that he would
prosecute any person whom he found
purchasing trout from the Indians.
Then he watched the trains, and
whenever the nomads brought IN
trout he followed them around and
warned any one attempting to purchase
them. AS this ruined the demand, the
indians have stopped bringing the slaugh-
tered fish to market, but during former
years thousands OF pounds OF speared
trout have found ready sale in this CITY,
Helms declares that it will no longer be
permitted. He also stated that there are
larger quantities of duck and quail breed
ing this year than has ever been known In
this vicinity before.
Fish Commissioner Morrison, who has
just returned from a trip to the Scott
River district, in Siskiyou County. declares
that to be the Mecca of sportsmen. al
though as he states the game laws are
totally disregarded still all kinds OF game
and fish are so plentiful that no diminish
ment Is perceptible. Steelheuds are being
taken in that vicinity in larger quantities
than ever before known.
Doves are reported to be making their
appearance in large numbers, and many
pairs are already nesting. The Grass
Valley Gun Club is issuing invitations to
sportsmen throughout the State to attend
bluerock tournament which Will De
given under its auspices within the next
month.
The Kimble and Upson opening shoot
will take place next Sunday. No entries
will be made until the meeting at the
grounds, but Woodland, Wheatland,
Stockton. Marysville. Oroville, San Fran
cisco and Oakland clubs will all have rep
resentatives present. The SPOONFUL Club
meet will take place the first Sunday IN
April at the Eckhardt shooting grounds at
Agricultural Park. AS yet the list OF
prizes has not been announced. The Swiss
and Sacramento rifle clubs have consoi1-
dated and will tackle the butts every Sun
day.
That enthusiastic sportsman, W. E.
| Gerber, has procured twelve pairs of Mon
golian pheasants from Eugene, Or, and
has placed them on his ranch on Paynes

propagate he will introduce them through
various portions of Sacramento County.

It was expected at the last meeting of
the Olympic Club directors that the pro-
posed new handball court controversy
would be settled.
The energetic and enterprising director,
E. E. Short, stated he had collected $1,000
from members who are interested in the
new enterprise, but the president, Mr..
Eaton, stated that no action could be taken
in the matter until the club had held an
other meeting with the owner OF the prop
erty on which the proposed court is to be
erected. There is evidently some hitch in
the agreement entered into between the
club and the property-oWner in question
and If matters be satisfactorily ad-
iusted before the next meeting of the
board, which will be on Wednesday even
ing next, the future of the new handball
court will be made known.
The managers of the courts on Howard
street have prepared the following pro-
gramme of games for to-morrow:
At Phil Ryan's court-W. Manion and
N. Mcneil will play P. Ryan and G. Nc
Donald, NJ. Edwards and j. Collins to play

tions.
Professor John Monteith Attacks the
Deductions of a Kings College
Economical Authority.

Professor John Monteith addressed the
weekly meeting of the Society OF American
Socialists last evening. The speakers re-
marks were directed mainly to disproylng
the assertions of Professor Leon Levy, the
head of the depa rtment of economics OF
Kings College, London, that the laborlng
classes of England had obtained their full
share of the prosperity which the nation
had enjoyed. Professor Levy's deductions
were based upon statistics compiled from
the income tax reports. These, Professor
Monteith argued, were, for many reasons,
misleading and inaccurate. Chief among
the faults of the statistics, he pointed out,
was the fact that only those whose incomes
were derived from trades and professions
were included, leaving out the class that
the people were most interested IN, the
multi illionaires, whose incomes were
derived from possessions in every. part of
the globe. These people, he maintained,
upon authority of leading economists, had
practiced such comprehensive fraud in
making out their income returns that no
adequate idea could be gained of their
wealth.
"Figures are not facts" said the profess
sor, "only the signs OF facts. The diff
ficulty Of them is that many people have
superstitious belief that anything quoted
in figures must be true. The increase OF
the average income or the average wealth
tells nothing about the average distribu-
ton of either. Averages are for almost
every purpose. If another man and |,
| both on the verge OF starvation, are walk
| ing down the street and some one gives
| him loaf of bread, the average of each of
| us is half loaf, but he gets it all.
The speaker then showed by what he
claimed reliable statistics that half the
| families in England to-day have no accu--
| mulated property. According TO General
| Booth, in London 10 per cent of popula-
| ton of 3S, 900 900 are idle, and other econ
omists have placed the number nearly as
| high.
In spite of this dismal showing for Eng
| land the professor secuted the idea which
he declared politicians would in few
months be declaiming from the rostrum,
that the working classes of the United
States were immeasurably better situated
| than. their fellows across the water. In
answer to questions by members of the So
ciety he stated that sociaism-liberal in
that it is comprehensive and radical from
the fact that it contemplates complete
revolution of existing social Institutions
was the only logical remedy.
Next Friday evening the society will
discuss the new city charter.

Kinble and Upson Trap-Shooting
Tournament-Reel and Rod.
SACRAMENTO, CAL, March 27.-The
roadrace of the Capitol City Wheelmen
has been postponed indefinitely, owing to
the fact that the roads are too heavy to at
tempt to make time over. The next thing
of importance in wheeling circles will be
the roadrace between the Stockton and
Sacramento clubs, for which event relays
have already been established.
April l will usher in one of the most
successful fishing seasons which have ever
been known on the Sierra slope, SO say all
the old-time knights of the rod and gun
who for years have frequented tie noun
tain streams IN search of the "speckled
beauties" and many are already making
preparations for a trip to the hills, as the
season will open early owing to the fact
that there is but little snowi the noun
tains this year in comparison with former
years, and the streams will run down
rapidly.
L. q. Upson, who has just returned
from a business trip, reports that the
tensive preparations for the opening OF
the fishing season in Nevada County, and
are expecting great sport.
The Supervisors of Placer County have
extended the close season until June 1.
By this time the spawning season is over
and the streams will not be depopulated
so speedily. Parties who have been in
the vicinity of the Rubicon and Truckee
rivers report that trout are more plentiful
than they have been in years. Salmon
are being taken in large quantities below
Rio Vista, on the Sacramento River, but
very few are being caught above this
point. Striped bass are more than plent-
full and are increasing rapidly. Game
Warden Helms has charge OF the stocking
of chain of lakes few miles below this
city with black bass. and as they will be
preserved local wielders of the ROD are
looking forward to good sport in the
future. This energetic oficial has put an
entire stop 10 the sale of speared trout in
this city by the Indians. Finding that
they do not come within the pale OF the

LABOR IN THE SOUTH.
Los Angeles Trades Unionists Are in
Favor of Having q Resident
COmmiss siOner.

Friends of organized labor in Los Ange-
les are apparently desirous of having
resident Deputy Labor Commissioner in
the southern metropolis. Complaints are
being made by several of the unions that
the workmen in Los Angeles are not being
treated quite fairly. Apropos of this
strained condition there has been consid-
erable correspondence between the State
Labor Bureau and several of the trades
union officers of Los Angeles, the last
letter received being the following from
President Phillis of the Los Angeles
Typographical Union No. 6, which arrived

MANsLAUGHTER is CHARGED.
Daniel Dunn Held to Answer for the
Killing of C. A. Mars.

The preliminary hearing of the strikers.
Daniel Dunn, James Holmes, William
Potee, John Drugan, Michael Shine and
William J. Downing, charged with murder
ing Charles A. Marrs, took place before
Judge Low yesterday. Dunn was held to
answer to charge of manslaughter in the
sum of $4,000, the other five being dis
missed.
While there was abundant evidence to
show the presence on the scene of all the
men charged with the murder, there was
nothing to connect any of them directly
with the act except in the case of Dunn.
Several witnesses swore to having seen the
latter strike the deceased several times
with his fist.
The case against Henry Rothgang,
charged with participating in the same
crime but who had asked for a separate
hearing, was also dismissed. There is
still battery charge resting against him,
but that will probably be Withdrawn also.
Dunn furnished bail and was released at
10 o clock last night.

DEAR SIR: You may have noticed in the
papers of the early part of the week that at
the labor conference held in this city last sun
day q resolution was passed fayoring the
giving of more power to the Commissioner OF
Labor, and also the appointment OF deputy
in each city OF the State having over $4,000
population. a..
by which your Office was established, ana also
the amendments which have since been NADER
There is widespread feeling among lntelh-
gent labor leaders here that when we have a
commissioner who is so earnest and true TO
labor's interests as you are believed to be, ne
should have all the help which we can give
him 4

brought this about, l hope to meet you ana
present to you some OF the grievances OF the
typographical union here Respectfully yours,
JOSEPH PHILIIs.
Commissioner Fitzgerald intends paying
an official visit to Los Angeles in the near
future, during which he will do all he can
to arrive at a correct understanding of the
exact condition of things. AS for the
remedy, that may be more difficult to
obtain and apply, owing to the limited
resources of the bureau. AT all events Mr..
Fitzgerald promises to make searching
investigation and apply what remedies he
may flnd at hand.
