An Actor SiIenced.

The two thugs darted behind the but

passenger advanced along the street
leisurely. 1t was past midnight.
They had been waiting for some time
for an easy graft, and. recognizing the
features of Hugh Morrisity, the pOpu-

cided that he was likely to have con-
siderable money in his clothes, it be-
ing Tuesday, and the actors salary
having been paid.

a cord was but the work of a moment
Then they stuffed UP his mouth with
a greasy neck cloth. Apparently he
could not utter a syllable.
They robbed him of all he possessed,
after which they started to make off.
Suddenly a cry from the PROSTATE ac-

the ruffians hurried back, determined
not permit their victim to give the

WORKED AN OLD TRICK.
The Deaf and Dumb Man Had to
Sneak

In my time" said a broker to his
friends at Delmonico's the other day,
according to the New York Times, -
I have observed many sad and touch
ing scenes, but never one which af-
fected me as much as the one l wit
messed last week.
Passing along a busy thoroughfare,
L paused for an instant in order to
read and reflect upon the miseries of
man who bore the legend Deaf and
Dumb, picturing to myself my own
condition under like circumstances,
when the following remark somewhat
startled me:
Say, Jimmie, here's a poor deaf
and dumb man. Father gave me five

This was followed by the clink of
a coin in the tin cup.

who had made this remark to his COM
panion and said:
Noble boy, overheard your gener-
Gus words. You shall not want for the
money. Here's a dime
with curtesy and Thank you, sir ,
he fled.
Il turned to the deaf and dumb man.
The muscles Of his face seemed to be
working to a degree rarely seen on a
man bereft of those important senses.
Unable to contain himself longer, he
blurted out:

A WOMAN'S SHOT.
The Affair Between Emil Heintz
and His Wife.

Early yesterday morning, as was
stated in yesterdays issue of the Rec
ord-Union," Mrs. Emil Heintz took a
shot at her husband. Further inquiry
has revealed that Heintz, who is a
waiter in a downtown restaurant, has
been separated from his wife for several
months. The woman claims that he has
assiduously followed her about, and
thinks he had no right to do so.
The shot was fired on NJ street, near
Fourth, and for several minutes the Wo-
man had the floor. She turned loose a
flood of language that would not have
been permitted in good society, and to a
friend of hers who lived near she said
Heintz had been following her "clear up
the line" She said the man thought she
wouldn't shoot, but that she was no
spring chicken and would have hit him
had he not lodged the bullet.
She asserted that he had jumped over
a fence into a back yard, and that she
would get him when he came out.
1t was thought by persons who saw
the woman that she had been drinking.
After she had vented her spleen to her
hearts content she turned into Fourth
street and started back toward K street.
Late last night Mrs. Heintz was ar
rested by Captain Fisher for drunken

AN ALASKA INCIDENT.
How Sacramento Used Alaska Ice
in Early Days.

Gimme an Alaskan cocktail said a
customer, as he entered a saloon yes
terday and faced up TO the bar.
Cant do it," replied the knight of
the Jacket and apron; haven't got
any Alaska ice.'
And the bystanders laughed at the
joke.
There was but one man present who
knew that the time was when every
particle of ice used in Sacramento
came from Sitka, in what is now called
Alaska. 1t was brought to San Fran
cisco in sailing vessels and the Sac
ramento supply trans-shipped by
steamboat. In the saloons it was kept
wrapped in blankets and cherished as
q newborn babe, and the amount that
would be put into a two-bit lemonade
was hardly as big as the eye of a
healthy gnat.
Those were the days when the fes
tive barkeeper would stir up a piece
of glass into an April-fool cocktail, and

OFF FOR THE GOLD FIELDS.
TWO SACRAMENTANS LEFT
LAST NIGHT.
Two Others Go To-night-One of
the C1ondykers Now in
the City.

Two Sacramentans left last night by
the Oregon train, en- route for the
Clondyke gold region, and two more
will leave tonight and join them at
Portland.
Those who departed last night We're
Ben Bullard and Frank Jackson, and
the pair who are to go tonight are
Richard Falkenberg and Frank White,
well-known employees in the railroad
shops.
The Sacramentans will be joined by
a few friends up north, and they will
invade the Yukon country together.
They expect to reach Dawson City
ahead of those who leave San Fran
cisco this month by water for ST.
Michaels, thence to proceed up the Yu-
kon TO Dawson.
The party will start from Juneau
well prepared for the long and weari-
some journey over the mountains and
through lakes and rivers of the gold
excitement, and if the country is what
1t is said to be there is little doubt that
the Bullard- jackson party will bring
back to Sacramento their share Of the
gold dust
ONE WHO STRUCK IT.
J. c. Campbell, an old-time friend of
Harry Rogers, foreman in the State
Printing Office, is in the city. Mr..
Campbell is only just returned from the
Clondyke gold fields, and brought with
him gold dust to the value of S3o,OOO.
Several years ago Mr. Campbell was
in Strengthened circumstances, and re-
ceived substantial assistance at the
hands of his friends Rogers. When the
first gold was found on Forty-Mile
Creek he made his way to the new Ell
Dorado and labored patiently.
When the rich placers of the Clon-
dyke region were discovered Mr.. Camp
bell was among the first to visit that
section, and he located a claim on E1
Dorado Creek from which the $50, SOD
worth of dust was taken. The claim,
Mr.. Campbell states, is only fairly pros
pected, and he holds 1t at a. valuation
of S150000.
Mr. Campbell advised his friend
Rogers to go to Alaska by all means,
and remembering the assistance given
in former days, he offered him oil the
money required, and promised to see
that he locates first-class claim.
Mr. Campbell further safes that all
the men who have realized fortunes
have not yet arrived IN the United
States, and will not until the close of
the present season. Their intention,
he says, is to secure all the gold pos
sible. and when they leave the frozen
country in August it will be to visit it
no more.
According 20 Mr.. Camp5ells story
three young men who are Engaged IN
working a claim near his, had taken
out, at the time he left, rive fve-gallon
coil oil cans full of gold. He thinks
that young and hardy men can ID no
better than to try a country where
gold is measured by the gallon.
A San Francisco paper states that
son of L. S. Adams Of Sacramento and
Mr.. Magee, son of Thomas Magee, the
San Francisco real estate man, have

A Happy Return.

Many amusing stories are told con-
nected with dueling. One has recently
been told in which an English peer and
politician figured, and we venture
TO repeat II because we think it worth
preserving. The peer, for some Of
fense, was called out by the politician,
and promptly responded to the chal-
lenge. On arriving at home again after
the duel his lordship gave a guinea to
the coachman who had driven him to
and from the ground. The driver ap-
pears to have been an exceptionally
honest, simple man. He was surprised
by the largeness of the sum presented
and said My Lord. / only took you
to" Yes, yes; 1 know that. But
the guinea is for bringing me back
not for taking me out. I enjoyed the
drive home very much, but not the

THE CITY PRISONERS.
Mayor Frank " Evans Reviews the Ac- tionl of the Board and Gives Full Ex-
 planation of Conditions of Same.

The recent action of the city dads" in leasing the prisoners in the city jail to the Sloss Iron and Steel company for $5 per. month has caused considera ble comment for and against it.
 A prominent labor leader is quoted as saying that the labor unions have re- ceived hard. blow from those whom they considered their friends. Even with the Strengthened condition of the city taken into consideration the union and white free labor have been deserted, so it is said, and the election promises of their former friends repudiated.
 A well known banker stated that all in all he considered 1t a great blessing for both the city and the convicts, as the latter were taken in out of all kinds of weather and will be taken we'll care of. Besides the crowded condition of the jail will be altered and the good health of those remaining is not in so great jeop- ardy.
 The merchants look at the question both ways and some condemn the city for it's action, while others consider the course wise and well timed

 ''No matter how objectionable the plan may be to the prisoners, to certain citi- zens, to any physician, or to the mayor and aldermen. 1t Is a manifest necessity and ought to have been done long ago.

"TRILBY."

Paul M. Potter's dramatization of the late George Du Maurier's celebrated novel, "Trilby," was presented at the Academy last evening by A. M. Palmer's excellent company, under the direction of Wm. A. Brady.
 Du Maurier doubtless little imagined when he wrote the novel that it would find it's way to the stage, and create there a reputation that has equaled the novel itself MT. Potter has made in the dramatization a more interesting story than the author did in his novel. The warp of the play is found in Sven galis mesmeric influence over Trilby, and it is from that the play draws it's strong and magnetic power of concen- tnating the attention of the audience Billee.
 Trilby, that product of the artists home in Paris, the Latin quarter, sur rounded by degrading men who make light of the warm heart and womanly gentleness and charm of the girl, who knew no other home than the artists humble studio, and TO other seat than the pose stool of the "Musketeers of the Brush" is a character that painted upon canvass in the gentle colors of her heart and thought, would make the ar lists of the Latin quarter marvel and revel at it's beauty Du Maurier was an artist at conceiving picture, and producing 1t upon parchment with words, ana not With paint ana DruSn. Upon this character of loveliness there is cast the gloom of the demonic Sven- gali,, a vulgar, slurripg and imperfect mold of man.
 MT. Potter makes use of these two characters, so much at variance, to fur nish the majority of the play with its interest and it's melo-dramatic attrac- tiveness.
 The company is competent and ex- cellent. Miss Arma Maitland is an ideal Trilby, enough like the authors T1ilby to be her prototype. She has sweet manner, and charming stage ap pearance that she compounds to make the character. The "Svengali' of Mir. George Webster is weird, and as re- pulsive as we imagine him when perus- ing the novel. Taffy, the Laird, Little Billie, and Mme. Vinard are all en- trusted to able actors.-Richmond State.
 '"Trilby" will be presented at O'Bren's Monday afternoon and evening.

Her repertoire of song was tested by the many hearty encores. Ss@
