CHARITY BALL.
-Morrow's Game Between the
Old Leakers and Peerless Team.

The charity game OF baseball to be
played at Snowflake Park tomorrow is
awakening much interest about town,
and speculation is as rife concerning the
relative merits of the Old Leakers and
the Peerless teams as if they were the
crackajacks OF State league.
For the time being Managers Mullenny
and Elliott are bigger men than any of
the regular baseball magnates. They
are duly impressed with their brief i'm
portance and bending their energies
toward getting their respective players
IN condition to play ball.
The proceeds of the game are to be
divided between the Foundlings' Home,
the Sisters Hospital and the Protestant
Orphans Home-all deserving institu-
tions that need all the help the public
can bestow on them.
There will be good music and plenty
of it, for the members of the Foresters
Band have volunteered their services for
the occasion.
Tickets for the game can be had to-
day all over the city at stores and pub
lie places, including the newspaper Of
flees. Beside this, all the members of
the competing teams are selling tickets,
and the outlook is that there will be
big attendance.

Madame Mountford, the Orientalst,
brilliant lecturer and dramatic imper-
senator, had a fine audience last night
at the Clunie. The subject was "Ecce
Homo. or From Bethlehem to Calvary"
She was assisted by twenty persons
garbed in the most picturesque of ORR
entail costumery. The living pictures
were very beautiful, and the tableaux
drew long and appreciative applause.
This talented woman of Jerusalem is at
her best in this lecture. At times she
rises to pitch of impassioned eloquence
that thrills the audience, and in her de-
scription Of the crucihxion last night the
audience was hushed to breathless 81
lence. She will repeat this lecture at
p. m. to-day, which will be the last ap
pearance she will ever make in Sacra-
mento. The lecture and beautiful
scenes depicted should be heard and
seen by all. There is information, in
struction, entertainment in her work
that is of first value to everyone, and
which heard and seen will never be for
gotten. The prices of admission, 10, 20
and 81 cents is very low, and gives op-
portunity to all to benefit by these de-
lightful lectures. Almost any seat in
the house is as good as any other since
the scenes are vivid, the colors brilliant
and the impersonator and lecturers
voice is easily heard in any part of the
auditorium. Madame Mountford has
made a host of friends in Sacramento
who regret that her course of lectures
cannot be extended here. She leaves
the city tomorrow for San Francisco
where she delivers the Village Life"
lecture at the Metropolitan Temple
Tuesday evening before the Society ST.
Vincent de Paul. She goes then to the
southern cities, thence to Oregon and
Washington and the East, and will be
in her old home in the Holy Land by the
