NOT IN WANT.
The PfyRer Family's Necessities
Are Being Supplies.

The published statement that the
family of Joseph Pfyffer-whO attempt
ed suicide week ago-were suffering
from lack of the necessaries of life,
which formed the basis of a paragraph
in these columns yesterday, turns out
to have been incorrect.
A member of Court Concordia, For
esters of America, called last evening
and asked that the mistake be correct
ed. He said that Captain Frank Rub
staller went to the family's early re-
lief. and in his usual liberal way pro-
vided Mrs Pfyffer with food and cloth
ing for herself and children.
Yesterday a committee from Court
Concordia called on the family and
found them very comfortable, thanks
to Captain Ruhstaller's generosity.
Moreover, the Foresters Will see that
they are not allowed to want for any
thing until Pfyffer RECEIVERS his health
and finds employment that Will enable
him to support his family.

SOLDIERS VS.. CIVILIANS.
ARMY OFFICERS SMILE AT THE
HUMANE SOCIETY.
Declare They VIII Ride Sore-Back-
ed Horses, and That Hea1y
Can't Stop Them.

The Humane Society of this city has
run up against the Federal Army, and
it remains TO be seen whether or not it
can get away with it.
Six days ago couple of Lieutenants
in the service of Uncle Sam, who are
abroad for the purpose of making a
military survey of this section, went
into camp at Seventeenth and Q
streets. They are Lieutenants Charles
Turnbull Boyd of the Fourth Cavalry
and james Newell Pickering of the
First Infantry.
The soldier-men have two horses with
them. These horses had very sore
backs when they arrived-great raw
places where the saddles had chafed
them. The sores have begun to heal
slightly with the weeks rest in camp,
but-according to the statement of HUI
name officer Healy-the horses are not
yet fit for use. However. the Lieuten-
ants purpose starting from here this
morning for Stockton, and it is their in
tention to saddle and ride these same
sore backed horses.
Complaints having been made to the
society of the condition of the animals,
officer Healy went out to inspect them.
He found them in very bad condition,
he says-so bad that the slightest pres
sure of the hand on their sore backs
causes the animals to cringe.
Healy demonstrated with the Lieu
tenants against using horses in that
condition, but the soldier-men looked
~ their brass buttons and gave Healy
the horse-laugh. Then Healy's Irish"
arose within him and he told them
they should not ride those horses to
Stockton nor elsewhere
The soldier-men replied that Uncle
Sam was a bigger man than the HUI
name Society-or words to that effect
and that neither the society nor its
officers could interfere with them.
IF you had any humanity about
YOU" said Healy, you wouldn't use
horses in that condition, anyhow Leave
these animals here and hire a couple
for the Stockton trip, and We'll have
them sent back to the PreSidio.'
No. nothing would do but they should
start this morning on their journey
with the sore-b ba cked horses, but Healy
told them if they attempted it they
would be arrested. This made the SOL
dier-me smile again
Healy is obliged to leave for San
Francisco this morning, so he stated
the case to Isidor Schad, a member and
official of the Humane Society and
turned over to him the job of holding
up couple of army officers for the in
fraction of a civil law.

OPPOSE ANNEXATION.
The Federated Trades Council on
the Hawaiian Question.

A week ago Monday the Sacramento
Council of Federated Trades discussed
Hawaiian annexation and unanimously
opposed it. A committee was appoint
ed to present resolutions in accord
with the Councils vote, and last night
the following was received and adopted:
Whereas, The Sacramento Federated
Trades Council, representing organized
labor in Northern California, extern
sively reviewed the subject of Ha
wafian annexation from the standpoint
of wageworkers, and
Whereas. Nothing is adduced there
from to indicate immediate or prospec-
tive advantage to labor by the annexa
ton of Hawaii; therefore, be it sum-
marily
Resolved. That Sacramento FEEDER
ated Trades Council is oI>~sed to and
earnestly protests against annexation
for the following reasons:
F'irst-Acquisition of the islands will
nowhere create a demand for American
workingmen.
Second-The thousands Of Chinese
and japanese laborers now in Hawaii
may or may not be allowed to migrate
to the Pacific Coast in the event of an
nexation; however, they cannot be de-
ported. and Will undoubtedly remain.
Third-The initiative instinct of Ash
attic laborers has ruined many indus
tries in California, and the coolies of
Hawaii Will quickly grasp an opportu-
nifty to further augment the ranks of
unemployed Americans.
Fourth-One wageworker and his
family cannot exist on what an Asiatic
laborer thrives. If the education and
elevation of the producers is among
the aims of those who shape the des-
tines Of this great republic, in the name
of justice we protest against ruinous
competition. We protest against Ha-
Waiian annexation.
Resolved, That copy of the fore
going be forwarded to United States
Senators Perkins and White and to
Representative DeVries

A Person to he Avoided.
From Harper,s Round TabIe.

There is one thing that every bicycler
needs TO look out for more than for any
thing else, and that is the bicycle thief
There Is no denying that he springs up
everywhere, and his ingenuity is some
thing TO marvel at. The latest device of
these people Is somewhat amusingly
shown IN a story which comes to us from
over the sea. II seems that a well known
guards colonel was exhibiting TO an adj
miring group of ladies in Battersea park,
the other morning, the excellences of a
magnificent bicycle, rumored TO have cost
an immense sum, when he was courte-
ously accosted by name by a well-dressed
stranger, who ventured TO admire the
wonderful machine. The stranger inquired
as TO the cost and address OF the max
ers, and asked * he might mention the
colonePs name when ordering a similar
machine, a request TO which the colonel
who thought that the stranger might be
an acquaintance whose face he had for
gotten, Immediately acceded. Then the
stranger wanted to try the bicycle, and
the colonel, proud that his machine should
have created such an impression, agreed
10 that proposition also. II am only
novice you know" the stranger re-
marked. as he treadled feebly along In
a serpentine course; and then he mysteri-
ously quckened his pace and began to
ride straight lie was out Of sight In a
minute. and the colonel Is still waiting
for him TO return.
