ticulation and with so much of calm
had such complete mastery of a band
organization as Sousa has of his. The
March King responded to encores
with great nberality, and when on these
occasions he introduced his own
marches the applause began with the
first notes of the music, the recogni-
ton being immediate. Sousa's Band is
a superb organization and gives entire
satisfaction. Miss French, the soprano
scloist, and Miss Duke, the solo violin
ist, created exceedingly favorable i'm
pressions, and were warmly compli-
mented by the audiences. But Pryor,
the trombone soloist, wins the laurel
over all. His skill with the slide from
bone is wonderful and his taste is very
superior. He develops qualities in the
instrument that very few others have.
His tonguing is a surprise. We noted
an instance in which he played a pas
sage of very broad range entirely
through without once moving the slide.
The programme gems afternoon and
evening of the band playing were 1.-THE
Last Days of Pompeii," especially the
third number in that suite; The Direc-
torate March" the new king Cotton
March" the suite Three Quotations. !"
and especially the second division of the
suite, and 'Kinkel's Water Sprites."

CITY BOARD OF HEALTH.
4 Milk and Dairy Inspection Ordinance
Presented.
One Also Proposed for the Creation of
the Office of Meat and Mar
ket Inspector.

The City Board of Health held its
regular monthly meeting last night,
Drs. Huntington, Ross, Waggoner,
Parkinson and Wizard being present.
Dr. Nichols, City Physician and
Health Officer, reported 43 deaths for
the month, as against 46 for January
and 46 for the corresponding month
last year. annual death rate for the
month, 17.20 per 1000. Eleven births
We're reported, males and females.
The month has been favorable Tor
sanitary work, and much mas been
done. There has been considerable
work at the Dispensary and Receiving
Hospital.
The reports of Inspector Herr and
Plumbing Inspector Tolley showed a
large number of inspections made.
Two plumbers who had put in inch
and-a-half vent pipes were ordered to
put in two-inch pipes in compliance
with the ordinance.
The plumbing of the Philadelphia
House was ordered put in good sani-
tary condition.
An ordinance was presented provid-
ing for the inspection of milk and dali
Ties and of dairy cows, which is pat
termed largely on the San Francisco or
dinance which has been doing such
good work. 1t provides for permits
granted by the Board of Health, num-
bering of wagons to correspond with
the permit and defines unwholesome
and adulterated milk, and provides
penalties for violating che ordinance.
An ordinance providing for Milk
and Market Inspector for the city, to
be appointed by the Board of Health,
and defining his duties, was also read.
The ordinances were recommended
for adoption, with the addition by the
committee of the amendments sug-
gested by members, after being sub
mitted to the Corporation Counsel.
The board wish to caution all prop
erty-owners having plumbing done
either new work or repairs-against
paying their plumbing bills unless the
plumber has exhibited his certificate OF
inspection of the work.

ANOTHER RUSSIAN SLAYER.
His Terrible Crime Committed Yesterday
Near ArnO Station.
Two Japs Robbed One Murdered and
the Other Wounded-The
Assassin Escapes.

Now the officers are on the lookout for
a murderer who was last evening said
to be heading in the direction of this
city.
About 1 o'clock yesterday he SHOT and
killed a Japanese named Tanibayashi
and wounded another named T. Ku-
wana, after having first robbed them.
The crime was committed about mid
way between Gait and Arno and some
twenty-five miles south of this city.
The two japanese and the murderer
were travelling together toward this
city. They came from about Fresno,
and had been travelling together for
two days. They went by rail to Stock
ton and there started on foot for Sacra-
mento, following the line of the rail-
road
When they reached the point named
the white man, who is said to be Rus
sian, drew pistol and forced the two
Japs TO give up what they had. From
one he took some money and watch,
and from the other a pistol. He then
shot them both and ran off in the direc-
tion of this city.
Tanibayashi was killed instantly. His
companion, Kuwana, was shot in the
back, probably after he had started to
escape. The bullet struck a rib, but
penetrated his body and was found a
couple of inches below the left nipple.
For two hours or mere the wounded
man lay on the wet and cold ground,
near by mis- dead comrade, until a tramp
came along and found them. The
tramp hastened on to Arno and told
Hugh Mcguire, Mrs. valensin's store
keeper, of what he had seen, and Ma
gUire notified Justice A. Meyer of Gait
by telephone.
Justice Meyer visited the spot and
took the dead man and his wounded
companion to Gait. The latter was
placed on the evening train, brought to
this city and taken to the County Hos
pital, where the bullet was extracted
His wound is a very serious one, and
may prove fatal.
Justice Meyer telegraphed the facts
to Sheriff Johnson, and the latter at
once notified Deputy John Quiggle of
Gait to go in search Of the murderer.
Instructions were also sent to Con-
stable Springstead at Elk Grove, Dep
Ity L. r. Beckley at Franklin and
Constable Mccullough at New Hope to
be on the lookout for the Russian.
Other deputies will be sent out to-day.
and if possible Sheriff Johnson will him
self leave for the locality of the murder
early this morning.

best be appreciated, when | state that
my throat and mouth were full of sores
and my tongue was almost eaten away;
I had not taken solid food for three
months. Ny entire body was covered
with red b1otches, my hands and feet
were sore and my hair was falling
out rapidly. I was in truly pitiab1e
condition.
:" felt that 1 was incurab1e, and
was in great despair, when friend
recommended S. S. S., stating that it
would certainly cure me. I began its
use, and when had finished the fourth
bottle, began to improve, and by the
time I had finished eighteen bottles,
was thoroughly rid of the disease; of
course, was not sure that was cured,
but am now convinced, as no sign
of the disease has ever returned for
four years. s. S. S. is the best blood
remedy in the world, and my cure was
due solely and alone TO it.
Contagious blood poison is the most
horrible of all diseases, and has been
appropriately called the curse of man
kind. 1t has always baffied the doc
tors, and, until the discovery of S. S. s.,
was incurable.
For fifty years S. S. s. has been cur
ing this terrible disease, even after all
other treatment failed. It is guaran-
teed purely vegetable, and one thou
sand dollars reward is offered for proof
to the contrary. s. S. S. never fails
to cure contagious blood poison, or
any other disease of the blood. If
you have a blood disease, take a rem
edy which will not injure you. Be

to your system.

ADJUSTMENTS.

'The Phoenix" is maintaining it's old
reputation as drawing card. 1t has
taken well at the Clunie Opera-house.
Mr. Mobiles disguise in the last act as
a tramp is one of the cleverest make
ups" ever seen on the stage. Mr.. Hal
lett's Solomon is a strikingly good piece
of eccentric character acting. Mr.. Hod-
ges, the new face, having the unsym-
pathetic heavy part of the play, was,
despite that fact. much more in favor
last night. He reads clearly, distinct
ly, in feeling correspondent to the de-
mand of the part, and is at ease on the
stage. Miss O'Brien in a juvenile male
character makes decided hit. One
word to the orchestra; it is quite too
energetic with its accompaniment to
The Tough Lullaby" composed by
Mr.. Steinle and Mr.. Becker and sung by

Thursday evening at the Metropolitan
Theater Eugene O'Rourke's Metropol-
itan Comedy Company will appear in
the Irish comedy drama, "The Wicklow
Postman." AS side attraction John
L. Sullivan and Paddy Ryan, ex-cham-
pfons, will, under direction of "Parson"
Davies, box three rounds. We are ad
vised by those who claim to know that
Nh O'Rourke is a young actor of prom
inence and that he is supported by the
same company with which he played
long and successful engagements at the
Fourteenth street Theater, New York.
The company carries large amount of
scenery, and the play is made a scenic
production in the full sense of the term.
O'Rourke sings in the play his popular
songs and several specialties are intro
duced. The scenes of the play are laid
in County Wicklow, ireland, and the
action is carried on without the appear
ance on the stage of the conventional
red coat policeman, priest, process
server or informer. Seats are now on
sale at the box office of the Metropol-
itan at 80 cents, 70 cents and 81.
Sousa's Band concert at the Metropol-
tan Theater yesterday afternoon was
lightly attended, but in the evening
there was present a large audience.
Both programmes were excellent in va
riety and character. The band is one
of exceeding strength, and Sousa's man
agement of it is something surprising.

The annual report of the Board of Di-
rectors was read, also the report of the
Secretary. The meeting, after some
discussion, then ordered an adjourn
ment for the election of officers until
the evening of the 10Th inst, when a
new Board Of Directors will be elected
and the affairs and scheme of the asso-
citation be considered with plans for the
future.
The report of the directors referred
touchingly to the death of Judge ]. w.
Armstrong, one of the founders and
long a director of the association, and
submitted memorial resolution.
which, on motion of Sparrow Smith,
and seconded by ]. E. Mills and Dam
iel Flint, was unanimously adopted.
The resolution reads as follows:
Resolved, BY the California Museum
Association, in annual session assem-
bled, that it learns with profound sor-
row of the death of Hon. ]. w. Arm
strong. He was one of the founders of
first signers of the roll of membership.
He, with David Lubin, originated the
plan by which the F.. B. Crocker Art
Gallery was transferred to the city for
the uses and purposes of the association
and the community. With Hon. A. P.
Catlin he drew the deed of trust after
long and profound consideration of
all the matters involved. He served
the association all the time of
its existence as it's legal adviser
without fee or reward He was a
member of the first Board of Direct
ors, and served as a director for many
years. He always felt and manifested
a deep interest in the association and
contributed to it of his ability and his
means freely and gladly.
THE association recognized him as
earnest workers. In his conduct in the
| association we found him a public
spirited, patriotic citizen, searcher
after truth, high-minded man, a wise
counselor, a patient and faithful officer
and member commanding our esteem
and respect at all times. Deploring his
| death, the association hereby instructs
its Secretary to transmit this resolu-
ton to his afflicted widow, and COM
municate to her and his family, the
sympathy and condolences of the or
ganization. 1t instructs him likewise
to spread this resolution on the minutes

the hospital, who gave a description of
the murderer and told how he and his
companion were shot.
The Russian is described as man of
medium size, with a dark mustache and
wearing a stiff or derby hat.
Mr.. Mcguire at Arno telephoned the
Record Union" at 8 O'Clock that he had
seen no one pass that station coming in
the direction of this city. but it would
have been easy for the murderer to slip
by before the tramp reached there with
the news of the crime. as Mcguire is
often busily occupied ir the store for
hours at a time.
1t may be that the Russian is already
in the city, but Sheriff Johnson thinks
he is hiding somewhere in the vicinity
of the murder, or has struck out across
the country away from the railroad.
Every effort will be made to run him
down.

Contagious
Blood Poison.

Mr.. Frank B. Martin, who is engaged
in the jewe1ry business at go Penn
sylvania Avenue, Washington City,
where he is well and favorab1y known,
was victim of that worst form of dis
ease-contagious blood poison. He
realized that his life was about to be
blasted, for this terrible disease has
baff1ed the skill of the physicians for
ages, and they have never yet been
able to effect a cure. His mental
despair can better be imagined than
described.
In recent letter he says: "About
four years ago I contracted severe
case of contagious blood poison, and
it was not long before was in terri
bic condition. Immediately placed
myself under treatment of two of the
best physicians in Washington city.
Their treatment, which took faith
fully for six months, cost me just three
