STATE FAIR TALK.

al t. AIN lain.
Further amendments being in order.
Clark of Alameda inquired where Sac
ramento was, and moved to amend by
making that county District No. 10 1t
was explained by Price that SacYa-
mento County. through her represen-
tiatives. had given notice that Sacra-
mento did not desire an appOutionnlent.
Notwithstanding this Clark. Belshaw Of
Contra Costa and Nelick insisted that
Sacramento should be included in the
list. Melick going so far as to claim
fihat the request was made only to get
a beverage on the State Fair" Valen-
time said he couldn't see why Alameda
was SO anxious TO force Sacramento in
where it did not want to be. 1t look
ed to him like getting a beverage to
take the State Fair away
Price hoped the amendment would
not be adopted. He saw no reason to
force Sacramento to take what was not
wanted.
BelShaW made a rather rancorous at
tack ON Sacramento, going back 10 the
last session, when he claimed there was
bad faith on the part Of the Sacramento
representatives. He said they knew
district fair appropriat tion but. want
ing to make a combine with the coun-
tiles to get the State Fair, Sacramento
Ostensfbly stood in for the district bill.
He claimed that the other counties
were '-buncOed' and that Sacramento o
in declining the district appropriation
this year was trying to play the same
game again. Belshaw said he wanted
the whole bill defeated as he was op-
posed to all kinds of fairs, but he want
ed Clark's amendment carried
Shanathan didn't like the term bun
cOed''-he didn't think Sacramento had
been guilty of anything of the sort He
couldn't see why Clark, who had just
got big appropriation through for the
State University, should want the State
Fair too; he thought this was making
a double fight.
Clark declared he didn't want any
fair anywhere. He believed both dis
trict and State fairs should be al
lowed TO lapse this year, but if other
districts We're going in he wanted Sac
ramentO there.
Sims of Sacramento, rose and in a
gentlemanly fashion, remarked that if
1T was a matter Of economy he saw no
reason why Sacramento should not be
left out according TO her own wishes
Clark's amendment was lost and the
committee aTnepdment-as listed above
was carried.
Notwithstanding MeEck's ardently
expressed desire to strangle the bill at
this stage of it's existence it was order
ed engrosssd and to third reading. To-
land and Mcclellan opposed the bin.
Price offered the following resolu-
tion:
Resolved That the Ways and Means
COnAnittee is hereby instructed to COM
slider and report as a part of the Cen
eral appropriation bin an amendment
containing such amounts as may be
considered best for the several Agri-
cultural Districts Adopted

S. b. 26o. by Dickinson, relating TO
the appointment of officers and en-
ploy6S by the San Francisco Board of
Health was taken up and called for
much expenditure of sarcasm. The
kernel of the bin was the abolition of
the office of Quarantine officer for the
port, and some of the San Francisco
members spoke against the proposition,
hurting huge blocks of oratory upon
% Of -
no effect. Stratton, however, came TO
the assistance of Dickinson. and when
they had finished Braunhart drew a
long breath and said: God help San
Francisco" The bill was passed by a
vote of 26 to 10. Braunhart changed
his vote and gave notice of a motion
to reconsider
KILLED BY SMITH.

amending the Code of Civil Procedure
by adding a new section, relating to
attorneys fees in suits for the fore
closure of mortgages, was read the
third time, and Smith took the floor,
and in a five minute speech killed the
bill as dead as the proverbial door nail.
He scored it from start to finish, and
rung the changes upon the Judiciary
Committee for it's action in foisting the
bill upon the Senate.

and the members of the Thirty second
California Legislature may pack up
their files and extra ink bottles and go
home.
How or where it will end does not,
as yet, show on the surface, but it is
safe to say there will be no files, no
journals and no bills upon the desks of
the members tomorrow morning. 1t
is believed that deficiency bills will be
passed in one, two, three order, that the
Governor will approve and the press
men receive their wages.
A WORKING DAY.
The members of the Senate started
out to break a record yesterday morn
ing and did so easily. The amount of
business transacted at yesterdays ses-
sion was really remarkable the usual
clubbing over rules being dispensed
with
Among other measures considered
was the equal civil rights bill, propos-
ing to give to colored people equal
rights with whites in theaters, hotels,
restaurants barber-shops, etc, and
making noncompliance with the Act
a misdemeanor. The Senate. however,
drew the line at making such nom
compliance a penal matter, and Dickin-
DCty and others, succeeded in having
an amendment adopted eliminating the
clause and leaving to the colored indi-
vidual only the right to bring a civil
suit for damages. There is said to be
grave doubts as to whether the bill will
pass, even with the amendment to make
it practically useless in respect TO the
point aimed at.
VOORHEES,, late in the afternoon, grew
weary of the eloQuence poured upon
his devoted head and wrathfully gave
notice that he would offer a resolution
placing all orators under the five-min-
ute rule The resolution shortly fol-
lowed, but the Senate likes to talk.
Il even talked at the resolution, and in
was obliged to change it's wording,
making it apply on and after Monday
next.
Berts three bills, relating to legal
Labor Day, to correspond with the Ma
ti0nal Labor Day, were yesterday ap-
proved by the Governor, as were also
the following: Relative to the sale Of
franchises to collect toll, by VOORHEES,;
to reappropriate S125 900 for the cree.
tion of building for the affiliated and
other departments Of the State Univer-
sity, and the bill by Simpson, to pro-
hibit the adulteration of honey.
NOT PROLIFIC OF INTEREST.
Events We're few in the Assembly
yesterday. The House has allowed it
self to lapse into somewhat ddsordenly
ways and these were rather worse than
usual both afternoon and evening.
The Kelsey contest is not
settled by the report of the commit
tee which favors tAe seating of Kel-
sey. The matter comes up this morn
ing. and in Republican caucus last
night, it is said it was decided to
stand by Kelsey the majority candi-
date.
North, of Yolo, made quite a gallant
fight for his middlemen's bond bill last
evening. Mulcrevy, quite disgusted
with an unavailing effort to get the
bond down TO $1,000, moved to ad-
journ sine die, but no one took him at
his word, though the news from the
Printing Office may lead tine House to
think twice before rejecting such a
motion to-day.
The election case and the State High
way bills are on the programme for
to-day.
The record-union., 1897-02-24

The burning question last night was,
will the legislation be blocked by the
action taken by the pressmen employed
in the State Printing Office in stepping
down and out until such time as the
wages due for labor performed during
the past six weeks has been paid, and
nobody had an answer ready.

SENATE'S BIG DAY.
Many Bills Passed and Matters of I'm.
portance Considered.

In the Senate yesterday morning
Dickinson requested that A B. 452, re-
lating to fish and game. be recalled
from the Assembly in order that an
error in enrolment might be rectified
The request was granted, and the order
made
no CONSIDERATION.
DWyer called up his notice Of a mo-
ton 10 reconsider the vote whereby S.
f. 273. by VOORHEES,, to amend Section
1913 of the Civil Code, relating TO re-
striction on the power of devise to
charitable use, had been passed.
Wolfe urged a reconsideration, con-
tending that the clause giving equal
rights to ali persons should be stricken
out
VOORHEES, explained that such an
amendment hal been offered and voted
down. ana the motion to reconsider was
lost by vote of 20 ayes. 13 noes.

Afternoon Session.

The special file Of Assembly bills was
taken up. and a. b. II, by Treacy, fix
ing the minimum rate Of compensation
for labor on public work, was read the
third time.
Aram said he understood that the bill
included municipal corporations, and as
the Supreme Court had held that re-
clamation districts were municipal cor
ment.
Dickinson said he proposed to offer an
amendment, making municipal corpor-
ations exempt from the provisions of
the Act
At this point It was discovered that
the amended bin had not been returned
from the printer, and further action
was suspended.
SOME EXEMPTIONS.
A. b. 396, by the Committee on Cor
porations, providing for the sale of
street railroad and other franchises in
municipalities, and providing condi-
tions for the granting of such fran
chises by the Legislature or other gov

PERSONAL PRIVILEGE.

constitutional right to rise to a question
of personal privilege yesterday morning

man ChynOweth of Anaheim will be one

| Record Union" adds: "As these ladies
are totally unacquainted with the
mothers their judging cannot help being

The member from Anaheim claims
that so far as he is concerned the last
statement is the only part that is true.
He is quite sure that Mrs, Chynoweth is
unacquainted with the mothers of Sac
ramento because he does not know her
himself; in fact, as there never has been

but the blame lay with the ladies'
His apology rs hereby accepted and he
is adjudged not guilty.
AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.
The special order for II o'clock was

Association Bill, which had been re-re-
ferred to the Committee on Agricult-
ure pending an amendment and which
was reported back with a committee
amendment so framed as to take in all

nate Carp.
The report published in the papers
throughout the state to the effect that
the Ohio Fish Commission has decided
that it is necessary to eXterminate carp
in the streams of Ohio, proved to be
absolutely without foundation. ltwas
said that these fish had taken posses
on of many strea ms and were causing
the determination of perch, bass and
catfish. While this may be so to a GER
tain extent, and while carp do not
make the most palatable dish, the idea
of seining all the important streams
wonld be an undertaking which could
not be cousumated with the crack of
doom. The mercurial little carp need
not experience any uneasiness as to the
reported determination, for they will
be permitted to flop as in time past

THE CosMoRAMA.
A Novel Performance to be Given IN,
This City on Monday Next.


The choir of ST. Luke's Episcopal
church will present the Cosmorama of
Trade and Art at the Auditorium Mon
day evening of next week. This
unique entertainment embraces a dis
play of eighty firms by as many young
ladies in appropriate costumes, funny
trade scenes, beautiful living pictures
and statuary and music. The Cosmo-
rama is under the direction of j. Henry
Gerls, of Chicago, of whose work the
Steubepvillc Evening Star says: One
of the most novel and beautiful enter
tainments given on the opera house
stage this season was presented last
evening 10y ]. Henry Gerls, assisted by
the ladies of the Congregational church.
Nearly all the firms of Steubenville
were represented by young ladies' in
pretty attire. Many beautiful Ia bleauX
were presented, also several laughable
song sketches and amusing trade
scenes. Many who failed to attend
have expressed deep regret that they
missed the performance, The house
was filled with large and apprecia-
tive audience. Much praise is due the
ladies and gentlemen who took part.

AN OLD ORDINANCE.

Makes IL the Marshars and Not the Com
missioncr's Duty to Open Alleys.
The recent trouble in opening an alley
in Square No. 7, during which City Com
missioner Chas. J. Best, by order OF
Council, knocked down fence built by
Gustav Kaiser, and was arrested there
for, has set on foot thorough investiga-
tion of the rights of citizens and the
city in property which has been fenced
up for q period of years. City Solicitor
Richards has dug up an old ordinance,
passed April 9th, 1854, in which it is
provided tn It any owner of property
atutting on an alley may have the alley
opened by notifying the city Marshal OF
his desire. The Marshal is required to
serve notice on all the property owners
along the alley and if The same is not
opened within 20 days he is to open it
himself and tax up the expense of doing
so to the abutting property. The Ordi-
nance has never been repealed and as
it has passed through several revisions
Of the city laws it is fair to presume
that it is good. 1t certainly puts new
phase on the subject Of opening alleys.

day or two ago penny-in- the
slot machine at higgins grocery store
on Greene street was opened, as it ap-
peared to have been doing d rushing
business during the holidays. Some
surprise was created however, when
it was found that the machine was
loaded with small round disks of gal,
vanized iron exactly the size of penny
in lieu of which they had been used to
force the upsociable apparatus to give
up its supply of chewing gum.
Upon investigation it was found that
the discs were waste material from
Hagan & Schad's machine shop and
had been surreptitjously gathered up
by enterprising small boys. 1t is prob
able that other machines in the city
haye been dosed in q similar manner.

Marvellous Results.

From Il letter written by Rev. j.
Gunderman, of Dimondale, Mich, we
are permitted to make this extract: 81
have no hesitation in recommending
DR.. Kings New Discovery, as the re.
suits were almost marvellous in the case
of my wife. While 1 was pastor of the
Baptist Church at Rives Junction she
was brought down with Pneumonia
succeeding La Grippe. Terrible parox'
ysms of coughing would last for hours
with little interruption and it seemed
as if she could not survive them. A
friend recommended Dr. Kings New
Discovery: it was quick in its work
and highly satisfactory in results. .

The Unit OF Heat.

We cannot, of course, measure heat
by yards, pints or pounds, but the unit
of heat (the standard measure of that
phenomenon has been agreed upon by
those whose business it is to philoso'
phize on that subject TO be that quaint
ty which can raise pound of water one
degree. Now, to turn a pound OF water
into pound of steam requires 967 oi
these units of heat; that is to say, Il
we boil a pound of water until it al
goes away in steam we shall have uset
in doing so a quantity of heat which
would have raised 967 pounds OF watei
