Tanales.

In the course of the past year hun
dreds of people have visited and
praised the tamaleS of the Capitola at
Ninth and l. streets. Those who have
not been there recently will be amazed
at the extensive improvements which
have been made. The entire building
has been made over and refurnished
from top to bottom. What concerns
patrons most is the improved facilities
for making and serving tamale, chicken
Spanish, beans Spanish and other
Spanish dishes.
A large airy kitchen has been added
with new arrangements for the steam
cooking of chickens and otherwise pre-
pairing the favorite Spanish dishes
Perfect cleanliness prevails in every de-
partment, and is in fact the watchword
Of the establishment. An experienced
Spanish cook has been employed, whose
concoctions will be served by day as
we'll as night Here may be obtained
at all hours, frijoles, enchilladas, chill
con carne, tortillas, as we'll as tamales
and chicken Spanish, all nutritious and
healthfully stimulating.
Beer and fine claret is served with
food when desired. The arrangement
of the stalls is such as to insure pri-
vacy, tempered by responsibility. The
Capitola is prepared for a large busi-
ness during the coming fall and winter
months.

DAVIS QUOTES SCRIPTURE,
Which is Considered a Bad Sign b,
Andy Walker.

Justice Davis fell into scripture in the
Police Court yesterday morning, and the
habitues Of the place were Jared to the
very foundation.
THE wicked fee when no man pur-
sueth," solemnly quoted the Judge in
declaring Andy Walker to be guilty OF
petty larceny, and at the words the
court bailiff nearly fell from his chair,
the Clerk woke out of the nap he was
taking and the spectators We're too
badly startled to do anything but stare.
AS for Andy Walker, his chin dropped.
He evidently knew that when Justice
Davis dropped into scripture something
awful was billed to happen and he ac-
cordingly asked that sentence be de-
ferred until this morning, which request
was granted.
Walker was convicted for having
stolen number of carpenter tools from
the basement of a house on lower X
street, in April. He had been absent
from the city since then until arrested
the early part of the present week.

The ''Natives" Belonging to 1t Show
That Thev Are Alive


The Capital City Drum Corps had a
street parade last evening in honor Of
Sunset Parlor, No. 26, Native Sons of
the Golden West, who will run a special
train to Stockton on the morning of the
9th Of September
The members of the Drum Corps had
on their neat white uniforms and pre-
sented a very nice appearance, being
followed by members of Sunset ParlOr
in carriages to the number of about
fifty
The line Of march was from Eleventh
and streets to Fifteenth, thence to
n street, down N to Tenth, up to X
street, down X street to Third street
where the Natives" serenaded the
'Record-Union'' office, to street,
and up street to Eleventh, where the
procession disbanded and the Ma
tives" with members Of the Drum
Corps repaired to German banquet,
where merry time was had.
Sunset Parlor's members gave their
famous parlor cry: 'Rah, rah, rix, Sun
set, Sunset, twenty-six, rah, rah, rix
Sunset, Sunset, twenty-six," along the
line of march, and were repeatedly
cheered by the people who were on the
street.
The enthusiasm shown by Sunse,
Parlor in honor of the celebration OF
California being admitted as a State
into the Union should arouse a respons-
i've chord in the breasts of the people
and insure them large attendance on
their special train.
! Don't forget, the train will leave the
depot at 7:3O a. m., the morning of the
9Th of September, and look for the train
bearing large banner with Sunset
Parlor, No. 26 N. S. G. W." on it, and
above all, don't forget to go, for Sun.
set Parlor insures all good time.

Sacramento ParlOr Expects to Aston
iSh the Stockton Natives.

The members of Sacramento Par1or,
No. 3, Native Sons of the Golden West,
have always upheld the dignity of this
city when abroad, and at the Native
Sons Day at Stockton this year they
intend outdoing all former efforts.
A rousing meeting was held at their

ing to complete arrangements for the
glorious time they are to have on the
9th. A number of. members We're mi
tiated so as to make them eligible for
participation in the great fete.
A band of twentysiX pieces will go
with the boys, and they have engaged
the finest hall in Stockton, in the Odd
Fellows building, also several separate
apartments for the use of their lady
guests. The hall will be elegantly deco
rated by professionals.
The beautiful banner presented to the
parlor by Califia Parlor, Native Daugh-
ters, will be mounted on bicycles and
carried in the procession
At the meeting last evening enthusi-
astic remarks We're made by prominent
