THE TOBOGGAN SLIDE.
A Large Attendance Enjoy Exhilarat-
ing Rides at East Park.

The opening of the season of the
toboggan slide at East Park took place
yesterday, and there was a very large
asSemblage, who patronized the two
attractions the toboggan and the skat-
ing platform.
Between 600 and 700people patronized
the slide and enjoyed the exhilaration
of the ride UP and down and around
and feasted their eyes on the beautiful
views that could be obtained from the
upper reaches of the slide. Some of the
cars carried the same occupants around
several times, and each time the en-
chantment seemed greater.
The skating was enjoyable in more
ways than one. There We're no acci-
Cents-that is, no one was hurt, but
there We're innumerable falls and some
Of the skaters were watched with in
terest for where the next fall would
be made. 1t was certain to be soon
in one case at least-a youth about IA
years old, who fioundered around in
the most helpless fashion, never sue
Ceeding in getting around the ring
once without fall
The other skaters voted him a nuis-
ance, but the large assemblage en-
jCyed the fun and wanted more.
The smallest boy in the crowd,
little fellow about s or 9 years old,
apparently, was far away the best
skater. He wore a red sweater and
sailed around, in and out, UP and
down, now jumping up and dancing,
then suddenly bobbing in and out
among a group, but never touching
anyone, picking up lost hats and re-
storing them to the owners without
pause in his gyrations, and seemed to
be perfectly at home on the rollers. He
gave his name as Forrest Stats.
There were still crowds going out
when a few drops of rain began to fall,
but the crowd that probably numbered
1000, dwindled away about o'clock
as fast as the street cars could take
them back to town.

LECTURE ASSOCIATION.
"The Armenians and COnstantinOple'
for TO-Nigi,t'S Theme.

The illustrated lecture of HaSkett
Smith, NJ A, the well-known Oriental
traveller, explorer and scholar, for the
Sacramento Lecture Association, will
take place tonight at the Congrega-
tional Church.
Mr.. Smiths subject will be "Arme-
MIA and Constantinople, a timely
theme, Which will be appreciated by all
newspaper readers, who have followed
the extended reports concerning the re-
cent massacres of the Christian por-
ton of that empire.
The lecturer has had six personal
interviews with the Sultan, and has
resided several years at the Turkish
Capital and in other portions of the
country of the Sick Man of the East"
He Will display upon canvas by use of
the electroopticon very large number
of views showing the principal build
ings and objects of interest at the
Sultan's famous Capital on the Bos-
phorus and also Armenian places of
renown.
This lecture and the illustrations are
very highly praised by the press in
this and other lands, and will no doubt
be greatly appreciated here by a large
audience

companion, and then the horse was led
ashore, While the crowd cheered the
plucky young men who had saved its
life
The buggy was next pulled out III
somewhat damaged condition and was
sent to its owners stable with the horse.

speak of, but We're chilled through and
through by their long immersion in the
cold water. They were divested OF
their wet clothing, wrapped in warm
blankets, and were resting quite CON-
fortably when heard from later.
The balmy spring air will not, prob
ably, induce them into taking another
buggy ride for some weeks to come, at
least.

ADJUSTMENTS.

At the Clunie Opera house this even
irg and for the week Mahara's Col
ored Mnstrels. There are thirty
people in the troupe. We printed the
other day a highly complimentary ac-
count of the recent engagement of the
company in San Jose, in which the
Mercury of that city pronounced the
troupe far and away ahead of any that
has visited that city for years. 1t is
conceded to be the best costumed or
agreed that in the "olio'' work, the
variety business, these minstrels have
no equal on the coast, if anywhere.
The San Francisco Chronicle" of jan
uary 14th pronounced the company
one of the best ever seen in the me-
tropolis, and that is saying a great
deal. With all this promise, expecta-
ton has been raised very high concern
ing the Maharas. Manager Mahara
by the way, is known as The Man
With a Hole in His Head" In 1894
the outlaw Bill Cook held up a train in
Indian Territory. Mahara was in
coach at which Cook fired. The bullet
took the manager plumb in the middle
Cf the forehead, crushing in the skull
and stopping just short of the brain.
For ten days the sufferer was uncon
scious. but being a strong man of great
vitality he survived the wound over
the deep sink in his forehead, where
there is no bone left, thin skin has
grown except at the bottom of the
sink" There a small aperture is from
which surgeons bored a hole to commu-
nicate with his nostrils as a drainage
tube, so that Mahara is the only man
IL the world, who, like a whale, has
blow hole" in his head through
" hich he can take in and expel air at
Will. Shortly after the engagement in
Sacramento closes, Mahara will stretch
himself again on the operating table of
a surgeon, and submit to the knife, to
have the sink" removed and a new
frontal bone or substitute put in

The RAILWAY MAIL AGENTS.
Three Hundred to Visit Sacramento on
the 18th.
1t is Proposed to Give the Visitors
a Hearty Welcome to
the City.

On Tuesday morning, the 10th instant,
the delegates to the annual convention
of Railway Mail Agents will visit Sac
ramento on their way to Sau Fran
cisco from the north.
They will come by special train and
will spend about a half day here. The
local members of the railway mail ser
vice have taken steps to have the Wis
itors properly entertained while in the
city, and Postmaster Fox is lending
them every assistance in his power
1t is matter, however, In which the
public should take an interest, and the
members of the committee hope they Will
do so. The visitors come from every
State in the Union, and are men of in
telligence and observation. Their re-
ports of what they see while making the
circuit of the Union will make favorable
or unfavorable impressions among the
people on the other side of the CONT
nent, and of course Sacramentans would
like to hear of pleasant things being
said Of their city and vicinity.
1t is desired to present to the visitors
oranges, lemons, and other seasonable
products of the Sacramento Valley SO
they will be able to say when they reach
the southern cities that they saw just as
fine fruits and flowers in the northern
and central counties as in the south.
The visitors will be met by the local
committee at the depot on the arrival
of the Oregon express, and nice early
morning breakfast will await them. Il
is desired to have as great a supply of
flowers as possible, and the committee
hopes that all who can favor them in
this respect will do so. Flowers, citrus
fruits-anything grown in this vicinity
and that is palatable or nice to look
upon is desired.
Warden Aull of the Folsom Prison has
promised to help the committee in the
matter of flowers, but the more that are
sent in, the better. Fruits should be
delivered at the Postoffice on the Sat
urday before.
The visitors will be taken to the State
Capitol, the Art Gallery and other
places of interest during the forenoon,
and it is likely that while at the Cap
itol there will be a short reception and
a welcome extended the visitors from
the blizZard-stricken East and North.

Curious Evolution of the Term
"Christmaso In ,Japan.

Fifty years ago, when Commodore Perry
came, the dreadful edict condemning the
people who professed Christianity was
posted everywhere. At that time the ma
tives celebrated the birth of Jesus by call
ing IL kiristemas, which means ''chop
your head off, For ten years the mission
aries could not do much, and the native
Christians were afraid to profess their re-
ngion outwardly; but in 1873 the anti
Christian edict was removed, the Chinese
calendar was discarded and Sunday was
made "a holiday in the public offices, and
Tor the first time the Christians felt safe
TO preach the gospel, and took the aggres-
sive method of propagation. Church es
were built and the church doors were open
wide to welcome everybody without hay-
ing any suspicious feeling against them
At this time. Christmas was celebrated by
the name of krushitomatsu, which means
Walt for those who are willing To come +"
Ihe Christians were working steadily
In all departments; and twenty years ago
there was u revival among the Japanese
Christians, and they came to the conclu-
sion that missionary work must -he- -dapar
not only by the professional missionaries,
but by the individual Christians and that
they must induce their friends and rela-
tiyes To come To the Christian churches
Thus every one was kept busy for the
cause. At this time they called Christ
mas krushimimas, which means, II
do suffer"
Soon the new theology was introduced,
and knocked the bottom cut of the old
theology" and what the common Chris
tians once thought to be the foundation
OF their faith and destiny of their life
was at this time crushed into pieces, and
all Christians were eager To investigate
the new theology i'm the original in Eng
lish. Hence the English language became
very popular. At this time Christmas
was called Cool-simas, which means, 1T
makes our faith cool. 4"
1t became the duty of the Japanese
theologians to study the new theology,
and TO find some method of reconciliation
At this time the day was celebrated by
the name OF kurusimas, which means
They make me suffer-"
The Unitarian principles came, and to
these troubled minds gave the assurance
and hope that there is higher faith,
apart from the old theology on the
ground of the common sense and reason
AT this time the Christmas was joyfully
celebrated by the name Of Kurusimaz,
which means, Il do not suffer"
Now the religious fervor is not so
strong as IL was once before, and the
people are beginning TO looks at the en-
tertainment side of the Chritmas day, as
they do in America, and begin to worry
about their presents; and now the Christ
mas is known as Kunisimas, which
means, Il worry. Wv. X. in Christian
Register.
