NEEDLEWORK GUILD MEETS.
PREPARING FOR THE WINTER
SEASONS WORK.
What It's Object is, and What is
Required of Those Who Wish
to Become Members.

The local branch of the Needlework
Guild of America met yesterday after
noon at the residence of Mrs. H. G.
Smith for the purpose of organizing the
work for the coming winter.
1t is the intention to organize more
sections if possible and choose Presi-
dents for them. The yearly distribu
ton of garments this year, ii is decid
ed will take place in the middle of No
vember. Last year it took place in the
last part of September, nearly 5000
garments being distributed TO the poor
of the city.
The Needlework Guild of America
was founded in Philadelphia in April,
1885, being modelled on an English So
ciety founded by Lady Wolverton. 1t
is non-sectarian and looks only to the
needs of the person to be helped. 1t
is composed of many organizations
called branches, which may be formed
anywhere and can control the distribu
tion of their own garments. Cities
having a population of %, 900 or over,
must be organized in sections and any
one can organize a section. 1t consists
of a President, Secretary, at least three
Directors and their members and must
return annually not less than 10 gar
ments. There are no dues.
When the sections are formed, they
organize into city branch by the
election of an Honorary President,
President, Secretary and Treasurer for
the entire branch The object of the
guild is to furnish new, plain, suitable
garments to meet the great need of the
hospitals, homes and other charities,
and men, women and children may be-
come members. All members must con-
tribute annually at least two new arti-
cles of useful clothing and every per-
son obtaining contributions from ten
or more persons becomes a Director.
All the garments of each section are
collected in a central place in this city
and distributed at the time of the an
nual meeting in November.
In this city the officers of the branch
are as follows: Honorary President,
Mrs. Frank Miller; President, Mrs. o.
c. Booth; Secretary, Mrs. H. G. Smith;
Treasurer, Mrs Fl. Weinstock; Section
Presidents-Mrs. o. c. Booth, Mrs. S.
G. Hoyt, Mrs. B. R. Crocker Mrs. Geo.

win, Mrs. Dewing, Miss Louise Conrad,
Mrs. J. H. Miller
Another meeting will be held in two
weeks at the house Of Mrs. Miller and
it is hoped that all interested in the
work will attend. The officers would
also like that Mrs Booths section, in
her absence, will send in all their gar
ments.

THE FENDER SAVED HIM.
Otherwise the Man Would Have
Been Killed.

The first time the street railway COM
pany has had an opportunity to deter
mine how its car tenders would work
in the matter of preventing a person
from being crushed bv the car wheels
occurred yesterday.
AS the car on the Third street line
was passing n street an old and deaf
Mexican. who did not see the approach
ing car, walked out on the track in front
of it. The motorman did not have time
to stop the car, and the Mexican was
struck and knocked down.
He would have been killed but for the
car fender, which picked him UP and
carried him along for several yards be-
fore the car could be stopped, thus
proving its utility as a life-saver.
The motorman had thrown off the
current the moment the man moved to-
ward the track, and the car stopped in
less than the width of the street. He
thought the man had been killed. as he
made no outcry, but was greatly relieved
when the victim was pulled off the fend-
er to find that he was almost unhurt.
He had a roll of blankets on his back,
but he held to them, and they were
found beside him on the fender
The man was cut and bruised some
car, and he was taken to the Receiving
Hospital, where Assistant City Physi-
clan Ogden dressed his wounds

Quarterly Meeting of the County
Executive Board.

At the quarterly meeting of the EX-
ecutive Board of the Sacramento Coun-
ty Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, held at Oak Park yesterday
morning, delegates from all the county
unions were present. The meeting was
called to order by the County Presi-
dent, Mrs. Maggie Willis, and was ap-
propriately opened with singing and
prayer. Mrs. S. c. Osborn officiated
as Secretary.
About six months ago it was decided
to make a county banner, and the ma
terial for the same was purchased and
turned over to Mrs. Jennie Dixon of Elk
Grove. who volunteered to do the nee
essary painting. Mrs. Dixon was pres
ent and presented the banner, which is
nearing completion, for the inspection
of the Executive Board. 1t is of white
silk, with heavy gold fringe, and bor
dered with fine lace, and besides bear
ing the letters of the order it is other
wise appropriately decorated.
The center-piece of the banner, a re-
production of Suffers Fort after it had
fallen into decay, is not yet in place,
but Mrs. Dixon assured the board that

which time the annual State convention
will be held at Modesto.
Reports of the superintendent of the
several departments of the union were

allotted
The Secretary, Mrs. Osborne, an
nounced that Mrs ST John of Kansas
will arrive in this city October 1st, and
that she had consented to lecture on
the evenings of the 1st and I'd. 1t was
decided to secure the use of one of the
churches for the lectures
When the noon hour arrived the board
took recess and visited the adjacent
grove where a bounteous lunch was
discussed.

LATE CROPS.
Summary of the Reports Received
the Past Week.

The following summary of the eli
mate and crop conditions is based upon
reports received by Chief Weather Di-
rector Harmon from eight Weather
Bureau stations. fifty-two telegraphic
reports received through the courtesy
of the Southern Pacific Company. and
many reports received by mail from
crop correspondents scattered through
out the State:
The weather for the past week has
been generally favorable for crops. It
has been generally warmer and well
suited for drying and curing fruit
Large quantities of fruit are now on
the drying trays. Rain has fallen in
the extreme northern part of the State,
and in the mountains and foothills in
the southern part
Fogs have been frequent and heavy
along the coast districts but have not
extended far inland Harvesting is
practically over.
Grapes are being picked and shipped
in large quantities. In the northern
part of the State many farmers are
planting wheat. Peaches and pears
have been nearly all picked; few va
rfeties of late peaches still remain on
the trees.
Hop picking is nearly over. Almonds
are nearly all picked. Olives promise
to be a fine crop. Raisin curing is
going on at a rapid rate in the Fresno
district and elsewhere.

THE BASEBALL RUCTION.
Talk Of a Game on the Day of the
Wheel Races.

There IS all sorts of speculation
abroad concerning the outcome of the
baseball squabble, but it is claimed
that out Of it all will come a new
league embracing clubs from Sacra-
mento, San Francisco, Stockton, Oak
land and possibly Fresno, with Win
ter schedule of games.
The latter would be a failure, how
ever, for people will not sit in the cold
to watch ball players founder in the
mud.
There is some talk Of a game in this
city next Sunday between the Gilt
Edges and the Heesemans of San Fran
cisco. In this connection a single word
of common sense suggestion to base
ball managers viii be timely. 1t is
best formulated as question:
Is it right, advisable or fair, in a
community where manly athletic sports
are not too plentiful, and events of i'm
pOrtance in athletics are not too fire.
quent, to have athletic games in oppo-
sition on any occasion.
The wheelmen of this city many
months ago arranged for a series of
contests. placed widely apart and call
ing for riders from long distances. Since
then baseball games have been sched-
uled. AS one of the dates of the wheel
mems entertainment approaches it is
announced that on the same day the
baseball managers will also bid for at
tendance It is submitted that COM
munity of interest, courtesy and COM
mon interest in athletics should pre-
vent such collisions.
The baseball men have no better pa
irons than the wheelmen. Could NOT
the former, then, forego one day and
not divide the lovers of outdoor sports
between two entertainments and oppose
the interests of the wheelmen? This
is not a trivial matter-it touches some
what near community interest. 1t has
often manifested itself in other circles,
as, for instance, when churches ap-
pear to take pains to announce rival
calls On the purses and good will of the
people for the same dates in a COM
munity not so populous as to warrant
such division.
So, too, it has been noted that musf-
cal and art organizations are careless
concerning these matters of common
politeness. and do not hesitate to run
in oppCsition' with entertainments on
common date, when it is simply i'm
possible for the community to afford
each rival adequate attendance.
These matters ought to take on some
thing more of local pride. and less of
rivalry. Let the ball athletes set the
good example and not cross dates with

iron-and the courts instructions were
very strong in support of the charge, it
must be that the jurors did not consider
it would have been a case of murder if
Yates had been killed.
The testimony showed that Yates had
been in the habit of making a punch
ing-bag of the girl, but that like the
tortured worm, she at last turned on
her tormentor.
However, the verdict was popular

day, Supervisor Thomas Jenkins of this

A report was submitted by William
Johnston, Chairman of the Legislative
Committee, relative to the recent visit
of Eastern Congressman to examine the
river, and Judge of the necessity for
Government aid in improving it.
The committee instructed Attorney
Devlin to proceed with the case of the
North Bloomfield Mining Company,
which had appealed from Judge Ross
recent decision.
Manager Phipps reported what the
watchmen had done during the month.
A resolution was adopted requesting
the Government Engineers in charge of

WHO is AT FAULT?
Shocking Condition of Some of the
Large Sewers.

Load complaints come in nightly about
the awful condition of the Seventeenth
and 5 street sewer, but they are not
as loud-if the statements of the COM
plainaDts are true-as the odors that
are carried about on the heavy night
air in that vicinity.
One citizen who lives near Seven
teenth and o streets telephoned last
evening that he had to keep the doors
and windows of his house closed in or
der to partially ward off the sewers at
tack. He said the stencil was simply
terrific.
From all along the line out that way
come similar complaints, and the out
cry increases in volume westward. The
sewage from S street is said to have
over11owed many lots west of Sixth,
and people down that way, especially
children, are sick and suffering from
the effects thereof.
How would it do for aspiring city Off
cials to drop politics long enough to
see that the result of their negligence
is removed? The people are entitled to
some consideration.
