REHEARSALS IMPROVING.
Christian Endeavor rlatters Pro.
crossing Quite FavOrably.

Last night was regular rehearsal
night of the Christian Endeavor Con-
vention singers. Miss Ida Clinch, the
leader, was in her best mood and ham
died the choir admirably.
The character of the music is such
as to inspire the singers to put forth
their best efforts, and as those who are
taking part are, almost without ex-
ception, members of some of the socie-
ties of young people, and therefore
earnest workers. the effects are GER
tainly inspiring, and it is only ques-
ton Of practice to insure Sacramento
County having a position in the con-
vention that will command attention.
Miss Clinch, in her usual energetic
way, has decided to have two rehear-
sails each week, after next week, and
it will simply be lack of interest only
that can prevent this county occupy
ing the position to which, in population
and general Importance, it is entitled.
The other features of the convention
work are receiving earnest attention,
and there will be a meeting of the
members of the Reception Committee
next week for the purpose of mapping
out line of work TO insure proper at
tention to our visitors.
The Committee on Decorations has al
ready in hand plan that will insure a
fine display if the citizens and bust
ness men generally give the subject the
attention it deserves.
The general Sacramento programme
will be made public in a few days.

To Restore Light-Struck Plates.

If by any means a box of plates be-
comes exposed to the light and spoiled
for negatives, they may be restored to
their original sensitiveness by the fol-
lowing method, which was sent by a
member in New Orleans:
Dissolve four parts of bichromate of
potash and one part of bromide of po-
tassium in 100 parts of distilled water
immerse the plates in this solution for
fifteen minutes. The temperature of
this. bath should be about 80 degrees
f. Next wash in distilled water for
ten minutes; the wash water being the
same temperature as the bath. Next
wash for ten minutes in water to which
a small quantity of ammounia water
has been added: then wash until all
traces of yellow have disappeared.
Place in the drying rack and set in a
room free from dust. The operation
must be done in the dark room, and
the plates dried in the dark. Be care
full to wash well, for If the bichromate
of potassium is not thoroughly washed
out the constituencies of the plate is in
jured-Harper's Round Table.

THE PALADINI AFFAIR.
Officer Bagley Suspended Pending an
Investigation.

In the Police Court yesterday after
noon the case of j. Paladini, charged
with keeping a disorderly house, came
up for trial. Paladini resides at Third
and S streets, and last Sunday night
Officer Bagley arrested four young men
who were at Paladini's house, together
with Paladini. He also took to the
station the latter's two daughters, aged
10 and IT. years, respectively.
The four men arrested were yester-
day morning tried on charges of drunk
enness, resulting in the discharge of
three of the number, while the fourth
was fined So. Paladini was charged
with conducting disorderly house, and
was defended by W. A. Anderson.
Several witnesses for the prosecution
testified that there was much disorder
in the Paladini household.
Paladini's two daughters had retired
previous to the arrival of the patrol
wagon. The two girls were placed on
the witness stand and testified that
Bagley peremptorily ordered them to
get up, and after they had done so he
bundled them into the patrol wagon
among the men who had been arrested
and landed them in the City Prison.
They claimed that they were entirely
innocent of any charge which might
be placed against them, and considered
that the arresting officer had over
stepped his duty.
Other witnesses testified that they
knew nothing wrong with the manner
in which Paladini conducted his house,
and when the evidence was all in the
court adjourned until this morning, at
which time arguments will be heard.
Chief of Police Drew apparently con-
sidered the arrest of the two young girls
to have been uncalled for, as last even
ing Officer Bagley was suspended from
duty pending an investigation into the
case.
Shortly after making the arrests at
the Paladini house Bagley stated that
he had taken the girls to the station as
an act Of humanity, as he did not wish
to leave them alone in the house with
out any protection. He had placed no
charge against them

Simple Health Hints.

A simple hygienic fact for many peo-
pie yet to learn is, that the skin Of
fruit is no part of the fruit itself, diet
ically considered The bloom of the
peach is a Iuxuriant growth Of MI
crobes, and unwashed grapes, eaten
skins and all, will show 100000 mi
crobes for each fluid ounce of stomach
fluid. These facts are proof positive
of the necessity for thoroughly wash
ing all raw fruit before it is eaten.
The nape of the neck, the lower part
the abdomen and the shins are the chief
regions of the body susceptible to cold.
A chill, however, may be carried to the
nervous system from other parts.
The following rules for avoiding a
cold cannot be too often formulated:
Never let cold air blow on the back of
the neck or head.
Keep the abdomen warmly clad.
Cover the shins when riding.
Change wet shoes and stockings
without delay.
Never sit on a stone or on damp
grass.
1t is not generally known that roast
ed coffee acts as a valuable disinfec-
tant The best mode is to dry the
raw bean, pound it in mortar and
then roast the powder on moderately
heated iron plate until it is of dark
brown tint Sprinkle it in sinks, or
expose it on a plate in any room to
be purified.-HouSewife

Y. W. C. A. CONFERENCE.
Last Evenings Address by Miss
Simms of Chicago.

A very slim audience gathered at the
Ninth-street Baptist Church last even
ing to listen to an address devlivered
by Miss d. Florence Simms of Chicago,
International College College Secretary
of the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation, in the interest of the summer
conference to be held at Mills College
from the 18th to the 23d of July in
elusive
The meeting was presided over by
Miss Laura E. Beazell, General Secre-
tary of the local Y. w. c. A, who, after
conducting the opening services, intro
duced Miss Simms, who was well re-
ceived
Miss Simms is a clever talker and
handled her sbject exceedingly well. She
called attention to the fact that the
Young Womens Christian Association
is but twenty-five years old, and that
at the present time the membership is
twelve millions, among whom are to be
found one-third of all the female col
lege students in America. College
students are fast recognizing, she said,
the need of some definite Christian
work, and 10000 of them are now
active workers in the organization.
Miss SimmS spoke of semi annual
conferences held in the United States,
and explained what was intended to
be accomplished by attending them
She explained the work on the colleges
throughout the land and drew a pleas
ing picture of the International Com
mittee and the Iabors it performed.
Among these, she said, is the planning
for the four conferences which are
held each year
In conclusion the speaker spoke of
the coming conference at Mills College,
stating that the entire cost for at
tending it would be but $13. She hoped
to see Sacramento send a big delega-
ton.
Miss BeaZell announced that Los An
geles proposed sending twelve dele
gates. and she thought that Sacrament
TO, being much nearer the college than
the first-named city, ought to send a

The Manatee.

Of all the large animals of the Amer
lean continent, none is more remarka
BILE in form than the manatee.
Although this strange creature is of
goodly size. often reaching a weight of
several hundred pounds, and some
times attaining a length of thirteen
feet, yet I venture to say that not
more than one person out of every
1900 in the United States could now
arise and correctly answer the ques-
ton, What is a manatee?" Whenever
you mention the name to any one save
student of quadrapeds, of surety you
will have the question to answer forth
with
The manatee is an animal that lives
exclusively in the water, and, while it
is shaped somewhat like a seal, it is
very far from being one. l mention
the seal by way of comparison solely
because it is the only quadruped which
can be used. The heavy baglike body
short neck, blunt nose, and round head
of our harbor seal do indeed suggest
the form of the manatee: but there the
resemblance stops short.
Instead of having hand f1ippers like a
seal, the body of the manatee termi-
mates in a very broad and very fiat
tail, which forms an admirable pro-
pellor. It's front limbs are simply big,
fiat paddles, by no means so shapely
and useful as the front f1ippers of a
sea lion. 1t has no hair-or, at least,
none to speak of; smooth, but very
thick and tough skin, small. weak eyes
and a blunt nose. Instead of having
teeth like a seal and feeding on fish, it
has only a set of rather weak molars
and lives solely ON aquatic plants,
It lives in the mouths and lower
reaches of rivers that flow into the sea
in tropical ATTITUDES, and While it does
not object to salt water, it is most at
home in water that is either brackish
or else quite fresh; and the latter is
preferred because of its aquatic vege-
tation Unlike the seal, 1t is quite
unable to come out on land.-Exchange.

A NEW DIVERSION.
Quotation Parties Furnish No End of
Amusement.

A quotation party is an entertaining
diversion, as it is not too intellectual.
and at the same time proves fairly
good test of ones memory Each guest
is supplied with a card bearing a num-
Der of familiar quotations, which, how
ever, are either left unfinished at the
end or are not written out at the be-
ginning-for example, the beginning of
the well-known line anent a young
mans fancy turning to thoughts of
love is supplied by the guessers, or
the end of that other familiar line,
Mans love is of mans life a part,
is left to the memory.
A prize is, of course, the reward of
the fortunate contestant and the game
is really helpful and improving, as well
as interesting.
Or that other familiar entertainment
known as the art collection affords
much amusement. Each guest is fur
nished with a catalogue bearing num-
bered titles of well-known books or
pictures while about the room are scat
tered objects suggestive of the above.
For instance, few tacks scattered on
some loose tea leaves are interpreted
into the Cause of the American Rev
olution"; a brass key into Something
to Adore; an olive and a spool OF
twist into "Oliver Twist; a coffee
mill on a skein of floss, mill on the
Floss" and SO on, according to the
tact and ingenuity of the hostess.
Poster tableaux are also most anus

is an up-to-date one. they are sure to
be popular A large wooden frame is

WHEELMEN'S JUBILEE.
Lantern Parade of the Capital City
Riders This Evening.

The Capital City Wheelmen have ar
ranged for lantern cycle parade this
evening. They do not expect any elab-
crate decoration of wheels, but ask that
each rider will carry a fancy lantern.
The ride will be short
The club invites very earnestly all
cyclists in the city to unite in this, the
first parade of the year. 1t is especially
solicitous that unattached cyclists will
unite with it on this occasion to better
crystalline wheel interests.
The parade is really something in the
nature of a celebration in honor of the
action of the Trustees in voting to con-
struct along Thirtieth street a good
broad path for pedestrians and wheel
men alike, for this path will thus con-
meet the J-street wheelway with Oak
Park and Y street, and give circuit of
riding around the city that will be very
satisfactory to cyclists, and will serve
until the time comes when the city
grows so much that Thirtieth street will
need cement walks The wheelmen feel
very grateful to the Trustees for the
action taken, and will probably aid con-
siderably in making the proposed path
ideal
Likewise the parade this evening IS
partly in honor of large number of
famous wheel riders who will be in the
city to-day, including some of national
reputation.
The assembly will be at 7:30 o'clock,
on Ninth street, between and K. Cap
tain Shaw will have a large body of
marshals to ride on the sides of the pro-
cession and see that it is not impeded by
the crowding of people into the street
All such parades are best seen from the
sidewalks. Wheelmen ride so slow on
the street that if people crowd to the
line of the procession no one except
those in the front line can see it at all.
1t is hoped, therefore, that on this oc-
casion the people will keep to the side
walks and give all an opportunity to see,
and allow the riders room to move in
something like orderly manner.
