No Hoodlumism on Sacramento
Grammar School Grounds.

Special officer J. N. Payne, referring
TO the statement made of misuse of
school grounds and buildings at night,
says that the Sacramento Grammar
School property is within his beat,
which is small one, and since he has
patroled it there has been no misuse Of
those premises, and that he has COM
pletely broken up abuses that existed
year ago, though he says they were
considerably exaggerated.
He feels that recent complaints re-
fleet on his vigilance, and is emphatic
in denial of the misuse charged.

Attempt at Suicide by Drinking
Carbo1ic Acid.

An unfortunate young woman named
May Ranley, who occupies a room in a
lodging-house on Fourth street, be-
tween K and L, yesterday attempted
to commit suicide by swallowing a
heavy dose of carbolic acid.
The woman purchased the acid and
went to her room in company with a

swallowed the poison, telling her COM
panion that it was medicine. When
it began to burn she told him it was
poison, and that she had taken it by
mistake.
A physician was called, and after
working with her for some time he
pronounced her out of danger.

Telephone Surprises.

A French contemporary has the fol-
lowing amusing anecdotes:
A telephone subscriber asked the
central to put him in communication
with his doctor. When this was done:
Subscriber-My wife complains of q
violent pain at the back of her head,
and Of heaviness at the stomach.
Doctor@She must have Influenza
Subscriber-What' tol be, done?
At this moment the central changed,
by mistake, the connection, and the
unfortunate husband received the reply
of Marchioness who was holding a
consultation with the proprietor OF a
steam windmill
The Machinist-I think her inside Is
covered with excoriations Of a consld-
cradle depth. Let her cool off at night,
and in the morning, before warming
her up, get hammer and give her
some good, hard knocks. Then get a
watering nozzle of high pressure and
wash it vigorously.
To his great surprise, the doctor
never haw his client again.

No one in Washington is worrying
over the news given out by the Span
ish government that large Spanish
fleet is on the way to Manila. Even if
it were true, wherein it would be
different from any other news given
out by the Spanish government, it
would cause no worry in Washington.
Admiral Dewey is amply able to take
care of any feet that Spain can send
against him, even without any rein
forcements, and it is certain that the
cruiser Charleston and the first in
stalment of tr0ops-the second in
staIment will start from San Francisco
this week-will be with Dewey before
any Spanish feet can possibly get to
Manila.
Hawaiian annexation may not be ac-
complished this week, but the resolution
providing therefore will almost GER
tainly be taken up and adopted by the
house this week. Ow ng to the lati
tude given the minority by the rules
Of the Senate, no one is predicting
when that body will act. But the
adoption Of the resolution by the House
will open the way for annexation in
another way. If the minority of the
Senate succeed in preventing q vote
being reached upon the resolution. The
President has ample authority to seize
Hawaii as a war measure, and as its
possession is considered absolutely
necessary as stopping place for our
ships bound to and from the Philip
pine islands, there is little doubt that
| he will do 80 If the Senate fails to act
before the adjournment Of Congress.
The volunteers will not be deprived
Of their votes at the Congressional
election, il Representative Lacey's
bill, which has been favorably reported
to the House from the elections COM
mittee, becomes a law, and it probably
will. The bill gives the volunteer
soldier the right to cast his vote for
Congressman, wherever he may be
stationed. The war will probably be
over before the Congressional election,
but some Of the volunteers are likely
to be continued in service until after
that time, especially those who have
gone to the Philippines and those who
win go to Porto Rico.
