In a Good Work.
alameda Argus

The Sacramento Record d-Union" is in
favor of the construction of a free
wagon road to the Yosemite. 1t is
agitating to that end now, and its con-
tention that the United States Govern
ment should construct such road
through its forest reserve; one that
would be free to all the people and
afford economic and easy access
is certainly reasonable. The paper
is circulating blank petitions to be
signed and sent to the California dele
cation in Congress. The petitions set
forth to the Congress of the United
States that "the National Forest Re
serve in California, extending along a
northerly and southerly course from
the seventh standard line south,
| through the counties of Kern, Tulare,
Fresno, MADEIRA, Mariposa and Tuol-
umne, embraces within it's boundaries
the Yosemite Valley, that the Govern
ment is therefore a very large landed
proprietor in acreage surrounding that
great natural wonder, the heritage of
all the people of the United States; that
all the people are entitled to easy and
convenient access to said valley, over
high class, permanent wagon road,
so constructed ana equipped that it will
at all usual seasons of travel be easily
and comfortably passable~for wagons
and other wheeled vehicles; where
fore Congress is memorialized to pro-
vide that there shall be constructed and
equipped through this property of the
United States, permanent wagon road
of high character, so graded, protected
and maintained as to afford all the peo-
pie of the United States convenient and
easy access to said valley, from the
most desirable point of connection
with the railway system of the State.

FELL DEAD.
Socrates Lydy Suddenly Expires in
an Alley.

About 3 o'clock yesterday afternoon
a man was seen to stagger across
Fourth street, between K and L, and
enter the alley on the east side. Off
Ger Ash's attention was attracted and
he followed to investigate. When he
reached the mouth of the alley he
found the supposedly drunken man had
fallen to the ground and upon attempt
ing to arouse him found that he was
dead.
Coroner Clark was notified and took
charge of the remains. From letters
found on the body, and from two men
who had been slightly acquainted with
him, it was ascertained that the name
of the deceased was Socrates Lydy.
who came to this city from San Fran
cisco about a week ago, and took a
room in a lodging-house at Fourth and
X streets.
Lydy came to California from Ore
gon about two years ago. He was
about 80 years of age, and is supposed
to have been a Grand Army man. An
autopsy will probably be held to-day.

Consanguineous Marriages.

The results of consanguineous mar
riages have been differently regarded
by various authors of note. Esquirol
attributed to them a predisposition to
insanity among the descendants. Men
iere asserts that in the majority OF
cases deaf mutes owe their infirmity
to the ties of relationship between
their parents. Lucas thinks that these
marriages are cause of degeneration
in the human race, producing mental
dullness, brutality, insanity impotency
ETC. Liebreich states that consanguin-
ity is frequently the cause of pigment
airy retinitis among the descendants
Raynaud ranks it among the cOndi-
tions which may produce albinism On
the other hand some authorities have
explicitly declared themselves in favor
of such marriages, and assert that they
give good results. In the face of such
extreme opinions, it is perhaps not as
tonishing that there are to be found
names of equally high repute among
those who affirm that these marriages
are productive of both good and evil
results. depending on whether or not
any constitutional disease affects either

which are wholly agreeable. Not lone

you should have written The Hawk S

correcting herself, lis that it is so won

The authors face probably showed
some signs of his mental attitude in re-

her feelings clear.

said, with an uncertain smile and an
anxious note in her voice that l mean

Springs and took his gun along. See
ing a. fine brood of young sprigs swim

surface Of the springs, McAvoy crept
up TO them and letting go both barrels,
bagged six of the little ducklings. Some
one heard of the outrage, and applied
to Hatch, the game warden, who had a
warrant issued for McAvoy's arrest.
Here comes the burlesque portion OF
the affair The warrant was given to
a Constable to serve on the Sheriff.
He served it on Sunday, which was il
legal, and McAvoy was ordered TO pre-
sent himself to the court on Monday

THE WHEEL MEET.
Preparations for the Bicycle Races
on the 26th Instant

There is great activity among the
Capital City Wheelmen just now in
preparation for the big meet of the
26th inst The schedules for entries
are now all out, and returns will be-
gin to come in from this time forward.
Mr. Atwater having removed from the
State, c. Z. Wright of 402 street has
been elected Secretary of the Racing
Committee in his place and with him
all entries will be filed.
The track was officially inspected
yesterday. and was found to be in good
| order. An improvement will be made,
however, in one of the banks, and
probably this week the track will be
| thoroughly oiled. If 1t is done 1t
should be done very early.
Mr.. Morton promises to do all that
can be done to forward the success
of the meet by having the grounds at
Oak Park in first-class condition by
the 26th, and will provide sittings for
an immense audience.
| The San Francisco Call" the other
day said that the Sacramento track is
the best appointed in the State, and
added:
The Sacramento cycle track is built
| of boards, three laps to the mile, ana
save for the last turn into the home
stretch is splendidly banked. The grand
stands are new, shaded and commodf-
ous the officials and press stand equal
ly comfortable, and added to this IS
| the bonhomie and good fellowship of
/ as jolly a set of cyclers as ever gath
cred together 1t is little wonder that
their track is a paying proposition,
when the high class of racing fur
nished is considered, and visitors who
once attend a meet always go again.
1t is we'll worth the trip that hundreds
make the excursion from here when a
meet at Sacramento is on the cards.
The prizes have at last been fixed
upon in detail, and are as follows:

ADJUSTMENTS.

The reconstructed Clunie Opera
house was opened last night. There
was present a large audience. The new
interior appeared to fine advantage un-
der the electric lights. 1t is not Who'll
ly complete as yet; some further light
draperies are to be put in, and when
the new seats for the dress circle and
orchestra arrive, the effect will be
much improved The soft cOlors of the
interior; the handsome foyer with its
many draped openings into the audi
torium; the blue and gold of the wood
work; the delicate floral tracery of cell
ings and walls, combine to produce
charming effects. Lightness. warmth
of tone and grace pervade the struct-
ure. General Clunie, the owner, was
present to observe the new house un-
der its first lighting up, and was great
ly pleased with the result of his ex-
penditure. Manager Todd was all
smiles and satisfaction with the house,
and the audience was outspoken in
it's praise of the results of the changes
effected. The approach to the opera
house is incomplete, but even as it is
it is one Of the handsomest entrances
of any house of public assembly in the
State. BY the close of this week it will
be completed, or nearly so, and will
have a brilliant and inviting appear

ager, upon a special gong, whereupon
he directs the signal to be given on the
lamp. First there is a long flash of
the red light, and then the number is
repeated twice by flashes. Thus every
one in the house is notified from what

sent in. and there need be no more 60

vicinity of ones property. So too af-

THE NATURAL RESULT.
How Men Are Encouraged to Vio-
late the Game Laws.

1t is a singular fact that some men
who claim TO be, and are in a general

the temptation TO violate the game
laws. 1t would seem that this class
take their cue from certain papers of
communistic tendencies, that are eter-
nally harping on the so-called in

persons from killing game when and
where they please.
