RELIC OF THE STRIKE.
Another Suit Growing Out of Broken
Fruit Contract.

Yesterday there was filed in the office
of the County Clerk a complaint by H.
A. Root against the National Fruit As
sociation, the assignee of F. Kripp, on
a contract between Kripp and the de-
fendant concerning the purchase by the
association from Kripp of his pears in
1894
The defendant bought the pears, but
the strike coming on soon after the con-
tract had been entered into, it notified
Kripp that it would not receive any
pears from him because it could not
ship them East, where it expected to
sell the fruit. Plaintiff claims 81 900
as damages on account of the refusal.
There has been a suit or two before
this by other parties against the de-
fendant on similar contracts, but they
were for small amounts. Judgment
went against the association, and it
paid. This suit, however, is for a
larger sum, and possibly the defendant
wants to get the opinion of the Supreme
Court on the point as to whether or not
it must pay. The attorneys in the case
are Isaac Joseph and d. e. Alexander.

Change in the Hours for Taking
Meteorological Observations.
The Weather Bureau reports show
the highest and lowest temperatures
yesterday to have been 50 degrees and
81 degrees, with light to gentle south
erly winds and partly cloudy weather
prevailing.
The barometrical readings at a. m
and p. m. were 1927 and 1922 inches.
respectively.
The highest and lowest temperatures
one year ago yesterday were 6S degrees
and 43 degrees, and one year ago to-day
61 degrees and 40 degrees.
The river is 10 feet inches, and al
most stationary.
The numerous showers of rain early
yesterday morning did not pan out
enough to measure, and are therefore
indicated by "a trace" or numerous
sprinkles.'
Beginning with the 1st of March the
United States Weather Bureau observa-
tions. instead of being taken at 5 a. m.
and p. m. each day, as at present, will
be taken twenty minutes earlier, or at
4 40 a. M and lao p. m. This is done to
enable the observations to be placed in
the telegraph office on the exact hour of
8 a. m and p. m. for the benefit Of the
forecast division of the central office at
Washington, d. c.
This will compel local Observer Bar
wick to rise at 4:15 a. M to be on time.

TACKLED THE WRONG MAN.
A Butcher Puts an End to Man Who
Tried to Rob Him.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-S. Haas,
butcher at 1854 Halstead street, was
closing up his shop about O'Clock
this evening, when a tough character,
who was identified later as Ed. Hickey,
came in and said he wanted some
meat. AS Haas turned to fill the order
Hickey grabbed him by the throat and
told him to give UP all the money he
had and to do it quick. Haas who is
a powerful man, resisted, and had just
thrown Hickey to the floor when two
masked men rushed in the front door
and with HicIey's assistance again at
tackled the butcher Haas backed away
from his antagonists until he reached
his chopping block, and just as he
grabbed a carving knife the three men
were upon him. Before they could floor
him Haas had sent the blade clear
through Hickey's body, just above the
stomach. This summary act fright
erred the men and helping their partner
to the door they fled Hickey was ia
tally wounded and staggered to Thirty
fifth and Halstead streets and fell dead
just as he entered saloon. The other
two escaped.

BLUEROCK BUSTERS"
The Capital City Shooting Club Organ
ized Last Evening.

At meeting of the old Sacramento
Bluerock Club last night reorganiza-
ton was effected under the name of the
Capital City Bluerock Club. Much in
terest and enthusiasm was shown, and
lively season is anticipated for the
pulverizers of inanimate targets. The
membership is limited to twenty active
shooters, and the following constitute
the charter members: j. M. Morrison,
President; Russell Flint, vice-Presi-
dent; L. S. Upson, Secretary and Treas
urer; E. A. Nicolaus, Captain: Fred. G.
orek, H. A. Mohr, Frank Ruhstaller,
L. D. Adams, F. B. Adams, F. NJ New
bert, Hal Stevens. William Leeman, r.
Sullivan, r. Helms and Ed. Van AL
stine.
The Secretary was instructed to have
the club join the California Inanimate
Target Association and lend it all the
assistance possible. The club will be
represented at all the shoots of the as
sociation, and will start to work at once
to practice at the Kimball & Upson
shooting grounds across the American
River.
The club shoots will commence at 10
a. m. on the second and fourth Sundays

Two classes will be formed, A and b.
The class A championship will be
awarded to the person having the high
est score for the five best shoots. Glass

HEALY DISCHARGED.
He Did Not Boil Down That Mule of
Daniel Keyser.

Daniel Keyser.
Some days ago man named Daniel
Keyser caused the arrest of Daniel
Healy on a charge of purchasing a mule
owned by him (Keyser) knowing it to
have been stolen. The case was tried
before Justice Candy at Oak Park yes
terday forenoon and Healy was prompt
ly acquitted. Assistant District Attor-
ney ]. Charles Jones conducted the
prosecution, and Healy was defended
by H. c. Ross.
The testimony developed the fact that
Keyser had the mule and some decrepit
horses in a pasture and they disap-
peared. He traced the mule and one
horse to Healy's fat-boiling establish
ment near Oak Park, but after filing the
complaint the mule turned up all right.
1t was shown that someone did take
an old and nearly dead horse to Healy to
he killed, for which no pay was de-
manded or received, and Healy had no
suspicion that the man was not its
owner.
There was no proof that Healy had
done anything wrong, and Mr.. Jones
himself so assured the court, upon
which the charge was dismissed.

seats for either of SouSafS Band con-
certs next Tuesday.
Manager Todd this morning an
nounces the Paderewski piano recital
for next Monday, with schedule of adj
mission prices. The sale of seats has
been large to this date, and now or
ders for seats are coming in steadily
from cities and towns near Sacramento,
so that the Metropolitan Theater will be
full of people on the evening of the
recital. 1t is not necessary to write of
Paderewski as master genius of the
piano, or to indicate what is his style
or method, or to descant upon his won
derful powers upon the piano. These
things are matters of common knowl-
edge. 1t is profitable. however. to
make a few extracts from the San
Francisco Waves" comparative crit
icism of the great Polish artist:
"Naught but praise is, or, indeed,
can well be, written of Paderewski; so
the critics-good, bad and Indifferent
breathe freely. The good know the
position this countryman of Chopin
holds in the musical world, whilst the
bad and the Indifferent, taking their
cue from the former, know that their
encomiums cannot hit SO very wide of
the mark.
Magnetism Rubenstein possessed in
abundance. and carried his audience as
completely with his fierce, almost de-
moniacal, abandon as does the equally
magnetic but diametrieally opposite
Paderewski, with his elegance, refine
ment and self-control. Paderewski,
too, pays far greater attention to detail
than his brother artist ever thought of
doing. Perhaps the most delightful
feature of Paderewskis art is the fine
finish he gives to every phrase, every
period-indeed, his interpretations may
be said to be rhetorical, in a musical
sense.
"Technic, with Paderewski, is merely
the means to an end-as, indeed, it
should be with every conscientious art
list. The favorite pianist has in Joseffy
another formidable rival. Many able
critics regard Joseffy the greatest clas-
steal pianist of the present day, now
that Won Bulow is dead In technic,
too, he is probably nearer to Rosenthal
than is Paderewski. But certain it is
that neither does he, nor dld Won Bu-
low, possess the glowing temperament
of Paderewski.
Probably where Paderewski is really
greater than any of them is in his
Chopin playing. Not even De Pach-
mann. essentially a Chopin player. can
excel him in the Interpretation of these
masterpieces. The enchanting melodies
and the subtle, ravishing harmonies of
Chopin seem to appeal more directly to
Paderewski's refined, sensitive nature
than do the works Of any other COM
poser.
THAT he plays compositions of widely
different character equally well is not
SO remarkable as many seem to think.
The true musician-a comparatively
rare bird, be assured-knows instinct
lively how any composition of merit
should be given and will come very near
to the proper tempo, even though no
mark is there for his guidance. This
unerring instinct, together with great
Intelligence and a well nigh perfect
technic, constitutes Paderewski's gem
