The Pelican Gun Club Kinder
gartners" Have a Shoot.

The Kindergarten Quartet" of the
Pelican Gun Club had arranged for a
consolation pigeon shooting match yes
terday. The quartet has, however,
really dwindled to a trio by the recent
marriage of Fred Yoerk, for he did
not show up. The unwritten rule of
the club is that when a member of
the kindergarten contingent gets mar
ried he is considered as having gradu-
ated into the ranks of the veterans.
The match took place at John Nor
risons shooting grounds, on the north
bank of the American River, which
are admirably adapted for the purpose.
After six rounds had been shot Cap
tain Frank Ruhstaller appeared. He

CONFIRMATION SERVICES.
Impressive Ceremonies at 81
Francis Church Yesterday.

Yesterday was a red letter day in re-
ligiOus circles for the people of st.
Francis Parish. 1t was the occasion
of the administration of the holy sacra-
ment of confirmation by Bishop Grace.
The hour set for the commencement of
the services was 10 o'clock in the morn
ing, but long before that the anxious
Worshipers and the various societies
were assembled awaiting the arrival of
the Bishop.
Promptly at the appointed hour he
entered from the parochial residence, ac-
companied by two of the Franciscan
fathers, and proceeded to the church
followed by the societies. AS he came
from the house the band from Chris
han Brothers College struck up Hail
to the Chief" and continued to dis
course appropriate music during the
procession.
Mass was celebrated by Rev. Father
Titus, with Father Plus as deacon, and
another of the Franciscan fathers from
Ukiah as Sub-deacon.
The choir was specially augmented
for the occasion, and was ably assisted
by the College Band of twenty six
pieces. At the conclusion of the mass
Bishop Grace, in his usual eloquent
and mastery style, explained the ma
ture and effects of the sacrament he
was about to confer, after which the
candidates for confirmation presented
themselves at the altar rail, where, by
the imposition of the Bishops hands,
the amounting with holy chrism and the
beautiful prayers of the church, they
were made strong and perfect Chris
tians and soldiers of the Blessed Sa-
vior.
A reception was given Bishop Grace
in the school hall by the parishioners.
after which, having congratulated the
energetic pastor and his worthy assist
ant, he returned to the Cathedral.
For some time after the ceremonies the
crowds waited on the sidewalk to listen
to the band, which by special request
repeated several selections. Consider
ing the fact that the band is composed
only of amateurs, its results are really
marvellous. Many of their selections
would do credit to older musicians AS
amateurs. they are undoubtedly with
few equals and it may safely be pre-
dicted that if the boys continue 10 prac-
tice together the day is not far distant
when Sacramento may boast of having
not only the finest amateur band in the
West, but in the whole United States.

He WOULD HAVE THAT HAT.
HOW JAMES BROWN LOST HIS
LIFE IN THE RIVER.
His Hat Fell OFF, and He Jumped
in After 1t and Was
Drowned.

About s O'Clock on Saturday night a
man named James Brown, who was
employed by Constable Russell of
Washington in breaking up the old
barge Butte City, anchored a short
distance below Reeds orchard, on the
Yolo side of the river, and then came
over to this side in a rowboat to buy
provisions.
In returning his boat was drawn un-
der the barge, owing to the strong
wind blowing at that time. Brown
managed to swim ashore, and then got
upon the barge to get a pole to procure
his boat
Just then the wind blew his hat into
the water, and Brown, angered thereat,
declared he would get his hat if it
cost him his life.
And he paid the penalty. He jumped
! in after the hat, and that was the
last seen of him. His wife patiently
waited for him to come ashore, but he
did not, and becoming alarmed she
went out and called to him. Receiv-
ing no answer, the truth became forced
on her that he had drowned. She
went ashore and informed several per-
sons, who made a search for Brown,
but to no purpose.
The deceased and his wife had been
making their abode in the pilOt-house
of the barge,

JESUS AND JOHN.
An Interesting Discourse by Rev.
Mr.. Hoskinsou.

At the English Lutheran Church last
night Rev. w. A Hoskinson said he
would not preach a sermon, but would
present some thoughts about John, the
beloved disciple.
John first sought Jesus. and then
Jesus sought John. He described the
home of John on the sea of Gallilee. The
only pictures of the disciples are word
pictures. Artists have imagined and
painted their conceptions of John, the
beloved disciple, from these.
John loved Jesus, and that helped to
bring them together, and there were
many traits in Johns character which
attracted Jesus. He seemed to have a
specially loveable nature. Strength and
tenderness We're blended in his make
up. He was fearless in his preaching
and in leading the early church.
There is something mystical about
Johns writing, said the speaker He
was not reasoner, but seems intuitive-
ly to have known that what he said
was true. His thoughts flash out like
stars. He was a deep thinker, and the
richest and deepest thoughts in the
New Testament came from his pen. He
lived a simple life, and was more than
a hundred years old at the time of his
death
His last and most frequent message
to the church was: Little children.
love one another" For, he said, that
was Christ's message to mankind
Peter left his stamp upon the history
of the church Then Paul, through his
Epistles, stirred up the reforma ton,
and John is making a deep impress
upon the church of to-day.
The pastor then graphically described
the first meeting of John, the beloved
disciple, with Jesus Christ, and showed
the zeal of the disciple in seeking his
companions after that first meeting.
They had a wonderful experience, and
wonderfully did they tell it. They had
found what the world was seeking for.
we have found Him of whom Moses
and the prophets did write
Mr.. Hoskinson illustrated his talk by
means of lithogra phic pictures of Incl
dents in the life of John and Jesus, and
made a very profitable application of
the lessons to life at the present day.

ELLMIRT'S MUSCLE READING.
SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMS THE
BISHOP TRICK.
Drives Several Blocks B1indfo1ded
and Finds a Hidden
Article.

Several hundred people gathered IN
the vicinity of the Metropolitan Thea
ter at noon yesterday to see Professor
Elmirt start on his blindfold drive
through the city in search Of an ar
ticle to be hid by a hit-or-miss COM
Inittee
A carriage had been provided for the
occasion, and from the crowd on the
sidewalk, DR.. Pendry, Roy Hart, j.
NJ. Hustled, ]. Bohm and Frank Il.
Wing We're selected to act as commit
tee to proceed with the hiding act.
The committee entered the carriage
and drove from the theater to Fifth
street, from Fifth to J, to Seventh, TO
I, to Ninth, to n, to Eighth, thence
TO Q, where the residence of Mr.. Wing
was reached.
Here four of the committee went into
the house, and at the suggestion of one
of the number pinned an l. O. Q. +.
pin 10 the bottom of the piano stool,
and then returned to the theater by
roundabout way.
Then Professor Ellmirt was blind
folded, led to the carriage, took the
rens in both his hands and started
on his drive of discovery, seated be-
tween two committeeman, each of
whom kept a tight grip on his arm.
Ellmirt drove at a sweeping trot, and
had no trouble in following the origi-
nal route taken until n street was
reached. Here, it was evident, one of
the committee had forgotten the route,
and as a consequence the driver passed
on TO o street. At that point the for
getful committeeman evidently discov-
cred that he had gone wrong, and the
driver rounded the block and again took
up the trail at N street, and kept 1t
until Mr.. Wings residence had been
reached.
He went into the house, and, to add
mystery to the event, went outside, but
Teconsidering the action returned, and,
finally, located the pin where it had
been hidden.
The drive back to the theater was
uneventful, except for the fact that
In alighting from the carriage Ellmirt
dropped the pin. The loss was not dis
covered until the party had assembled
in the theater.
When the loss was discovered, Pro-
fessor Ellmirt was at sea Nobody
knew where to find the lost article,
proving cOnclusively that while he can
find an article hidden by another man,
he is utterly incapable of finding one
lost by himself. A small boy picked
the pin out of the gutter, where it had
fallen, and restored it to its owner.
The trick of finding articles hidden
by a committee is by no means new

If our correspondent will examine
Section 1896 of the Political Code of this
State. he will find the following:
Section 1896 An office becomes va
cant on the happening of either Of the
following events before the. expiration
Of the term. s.
His ceasing to be an inhabitant of the
State, or if the office be local of the
district, county, city or township for
which he was chosen or appointed, or
within which the duties of his office
are required to be discharged"
1t Will also be found that the Su-
preme Court of this State in the case
of the People VS. Brite, 80 Cal, 80, a
case in which a Supervisor had remov-
ed out of the district in which he was
elected before his term of office had
expired, and a successor was appointed
on that account, used the following
language:
Section 996 Political Code: An office
becomes vacant on the happening Of
either of the following events before
the expiration of the term: =
=. Upon the incumbent ceasing to
be an inhabitant of the district Gf the
office is locaD for which he was chosen,
or within which the duties of the Of
fee are required to be discharged
There are instances named in the sec
tion, where proceedings must be had
to ascertain the alleged fact, before an
appointment of a successor can be
made; but the case in hand is not one
of them. When the relator ceased to
be an inhabitant of the Third District,
he ceased to be Supervisor for that
district, and a vacancy occurred.
This decision is affirmed in People
ex rel VS.. Fleming. 100 Cal, 53S.
It is we'll settled that general laws
control in matters of this kind, and as
the City Charter is silent upon the
subject, Section 996 of the Political
Code is conclusive.

Are They Eligible?

Eds. Record Union: Being anxious
to not lose a vote in the coming elec-
ton for City Trustee, and not being
able to decide for myself as to the
eligibility of some of the candidates for
office of Trustee at the coming election,
1 want to ask a couple of questions. l
find that Section Z of the City Charter
says that each member of the Board
of Trustees shall be a qualified elector
at least twenty-five years of age, etc,
and shall have been an inhabitant of
the ward which he is to represent for
at least one year next before the day
of his election. I find that Section 40
of the City Charter, in relation to men,
bers of the Board of Education, says
that there shall be one school director
elected from each ward and no person
shall be eligible to the office of school
director unless he is at the time of his
election a qualified elector of the ward
from which he is elected. 1 am in
formed that in one of our wards a
gentleman is a candidate for election
to the office of Trustee who was elect
ed a member of the Board of Educa-
ton in another ward, and that he is
still acting as a member of the Board
of Education. OF course, if he is ELI
gible for election to the Office of Trus-
tee, he must have resided in that ward
at least one year, and if he has been
out Of the ward in which he was elect
ed school director and of which he
must have been an inhabitant at the
time he was elected a member of the
Board of Education, he must have been
out of that ward at least a year. Now,
what I want to know is, Can man be
a member of the Board of Education
in one ward, and be eligible for election
to the office of Trustee in another
ward? The other question is: Are good
men 50 scarce that it is necessary to
elect members of the Board of Educa-
ton to the office of City Trustee, or
why is it that it is necessary to elect
a man to two offices? By answering
these you will very much oblige a
VOTER.
