cept the son of the old man." said he.
Just then they heard groan from
Ralph Benton and saw him clutching
at the mantelpiece. A china cup and
saucer fell to the hearth with a crash.
and the young man sank slowly to the
door, face downward.
"Ob, he has faintedP' cried his sis
ter. and she ran to him and tried in
vain to raise him up. Montcastle Sc
cured a pillow from the sofa and put it
under the young mans head. Hendricks
sprang up to get some water, and find
ing the jug on the table empty he ran
into the next room. There he filled q
glaas from q water cooler and brought
It back. As be entered Ralph was re-
viving. The young man opened his
eyes, smiled family. drank q little Of
the water held to his lips by his excited
sister and then drowsily closed his eyes.
''Is he subject to fainting attacks?"
asked Hendricks.
''He used to have them when he was
Q child" answered Miss Benton. "Oh,

Ishould do. Call Wilson and Jarnagin.
She looked mp at Montcastle. "He
must be removed to his room. It has

will soon be over" She was looking at
Hendricks. ''Surely You won't keep %

"Will his testimony be necessary"

CHESS TOPICS.
What the Great Players Of the
World Are Doing.

The October number of the "Ameri-
can Chess Magazine contains much
news of interest to those who are inter
ested in chess. We give a few items Of
news therefrom:
J. w. Showalter arrived in New
York few days ago from Cologne. His
appearance indicates that he stood the
strain Of Vienna better than Mr.. Pills
bury.
Harry N. Pillsbury has taken up his
residence in Philadelphia for a few
months and below we give a game
played by Martinez and Newman
against Pillsbury and Voight
A report is current in England that
Lasker Is very i'll and simultaneous
with the report comes the statement
that Tarrasch may be induced by his
friends to challenge Herr Lasher to a
match for the championship, with
stakes at $1,000 a side
AS to our own Capitol City Chess
Club we learn with great pleasure of
the additional membership of two,
making in all thirteen. We hope some
other chess friend will join the club if
only for the purpose of saving that in
stitution from the possible i'll luck sup
posed to attend this mystic number.

Western Sports says that Doyle of
the Sacramentos is one of the most pop
ular players in the California League.
Everybody admires his quiet, gentle
manly manner, and above all else his
great ball playing. AS hitter Doyle
is about the best on the Sacramento
team, and in fielding his position, he
can give pointers to every other pitcher
in the State.
The showing made by Chicago in the
National League race is gratifying to
California teams, for on that team We're
four players from this State-Bill
Lange, Everett, Chance and Mertes.
The latter two and Lange are expected
nome very shortly for the winter.
Hughes of Baltimore and Van Haltren

THE w. c. T. q.
Close of the State Convention at
Berkelev.

A correspondent Of the Record
Union writing from Berkeley under
date Of the I'D, says: Last night the
State Convention of the w. c. IT, u.
closed it's laborS for the season by
grand demonstration Of each of the de-
partment's work. The week has been
one of earnest work for God and home
and native land.' The State officers
were all reelected, Mrs. B. Sturtevant
Peet being elected President as she
has been for the last eight years.
Sacramento County won the banner
presented by the State W. c. T. U. to
the county making the largest gain in
membership during the year.
LAS a result of the earnest work of
the Sacramento delegates this year the
State Union will hold it's annual ses-
sion in Sacramento next October
Following is the Sacramento County
w. C. T. U. song:
ASLEEP in the cradle, rock a bye bye,
Asleep while the tempter is stealing so
nigh;
Asleep while wine is flowing so freely
And many go down to an Infamous bed:
Shall we rock bye bye, rock bye bye?
alike they are tempted, the low and the
While angels look down with a pitiful
sigh;
Shall we take our ease and be deaf to
the call
OF our loved ones that are tempted and
likely to fall?
Can we rock bye bye, rock bye bye?
THE saloon on the corner has a wide
open door.
Most genial the landlord to rich and the
poor,
So long as the cash comes in with their
tread,
Often the money that children should
have for their bread
Will we rock a bye bye rock a bye bye?
Awake from thy slumbers, and reach
forth hand
To stay the drink evil in this beautiful
land.
Where wine and crime frolic, merry as
twins,
And the innocent suffer for these fear
full sins.
Well not rock bye bye, rock a bye bye"
