YOUNG LADY HONORED.
Gift to Miss Heilbron by Company
b, Seventh Regiment.

The San Francisco Post" contains
the following account of an affair in
tnat city in which a former Sacra-
mento young lady Miss Louise c. He'll
bron, was made the recipient of a very
handsome testimonial at the hands of
Company B, Seventh Regiment in camp
there. Miss Hebron is a daughter of
Captain and Mrs. Fred Hebron, and is
at present visiting relatives in Sacra-
mento. The Post" says:
A pretty compliment was recently
paid Miss Louise c. Hebron by Com
pany Il, Seventh Regiment of Califor-
mia, United States Volunteers
Miss Hebron, who has a brother a
Sergeant in the company has spent
much of her time in the field hospital
attending to the wants of the boys, and
during the time many of the soldiers
were made miserable from recent vac
cinations her womanly devotion and
tenderness We're brought to a test. She
personally bandaged the sore arms and
in other ways exhibited a kindly ma
ture.
When she was not needed in the
hospital she devoted her time to show
ing the men how TO cook, and aided
with the monday and evening meals.
THE interest she centered in the vol
unteers from Southern California was
rewarded one evening recently, when,
While engaged in alternating the suffer-
ings of the unfortunates who We're ly-
ing in the field hospital, she was sur
prised by Company B, who, through
their Captain, Richard Y. Dodge, made
fitting speech previous to presenting
the self-sacrificing young lady with a
handsome watch. On one side of the
case are engraved her initials,I and on
the other side is a diamond setting In
side the watch is the inscription, Pre-
scented to Miss Hebron, from Com
pany B, L. 5. W and the date of the

YOUNG BALL-TOSSERS.
Boys Who Have as Much Fun as 9
Barrel Of Monkeys.

Yesterday the Cronan & WiSsemann
ball team defeated the Young Terrors
by a score of % to II. The weather
was hot, but the boys chased around
the bases as lively as if they were
playing ball on a Yukon diamond in
the month of December. c. MatsOn, F..
Baltrick and McCafferty constituted
the battery for the Terrors and Nc
Carly and Bybe for the winners. w.
Brannigan was umpire.
The feature of the game was H.
Jaques' onehanded catch in right field.
The juvenile reporter of the game
states that the Terrors are poor
actors" but he is probably prejudiced.
The winning team challenges any ag-
gregation of players whose members
are under II years of age.
The Fulton Markets defeated the A.
J. Pommers by a score of 13 to 4 at
Fourteenth and r streets on Sunday

the interests of the people and have
prevented the reduction Of the taxes by
refunding the bonds, as the Mayor
wished to do. He thought they should
do better for the people.
The matter was deferred for one
week
Trustee Devine moved that a COM
mittee be appointed to investigate the
proposition that is stated to have been
made by one of the Bond Commission
ers to Daniel Meyer.
Trustee Tebbets said he did not think
the matter was for the board to in
vestigate What the board wishes to
do is to abolish the commission. He
thought the proprietors Of the Sunday
paper which made the statement should
be called before the board to state their
authority for it. The matter is an i'm
portant one and the Mayor is trying
to do what he promised to do-reduce
the taxes
Trustee Paine was called to the chair,
and Trustee Mckay in order to bring
it before the board seconded the mo-
ton of Devine that himself Oevine)
and the President be appointed to in
vestigate the matter.
The motion was carried and Mckay

Soldiers Sing "God Save the Que en-

In Tampa, Fla, the other day American
soldiers did a thing that would have
raised a protest a year ago. They Joined
in singing God Save the Queen" in honor
of Victoria's birthday. 1t is really aston
ishing how sentiment has changed since
England has openly sympathized with the
United States in our war with Spain.
Radical changes in the relations Of ma
tions are no more wonderful, however,
than the marked changes in individuals
who are restored to health by that great
medicine, Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. 1t
is no unusual thing for people who are
thin, weakly and all run down to show
marked Improvement in few weeks after
taking this medicine, which overcomes
nearly every known disease arising from

Many tea dealers regret exceedingly
that when the Government exacted a
10-cent-a-fb duty on tea, they did not
likewise pass law to force all old teas
to be properly designated, so that the
public might understand that the teas
sold at former prices We're stale, and
thus inferior in quality. This is toe
much to expect. and yet people natur-
ally want the new tea.

refers to the charges which have been
made against him that he was making
places in the asylum for his political
friends. AT 12:45 today the commission
was still in session and Gould still before
them, recess for lunch not having been
taken. 1t was rumored about the corri-
doris Of the asylum that Hale would be be-
fore the commission and that he was
LOADED" for large game. The insinuation
made is that Hale is looking ahead to poll
teal preferment in his party and that he
resents the accusation of being in the ring
which is alleged to be running the asylum
in its personal interests so far as appoint
ments and place are concerned. Hales
political opponents say the accusation
against him is true and that Gould, Curnow
and Hale make up the inside ring with pos
sibly Whites aid at times.
While the commission Is going on with
it's Investigations the local board conducts
it's sideshow, so to speak. Two or three
witnesses were examined this morning
along the same lines as those formerly fol-
lowed. Nothing of particularly new or
interesting nature was developed. Chiefly
the charges against the Tourtillot and
Mrs. Madigan were the subject. Shortly
after the noon hour the local board ar
nounced the case for the time subject to be
opened, If deemed necessary. 1t was also
announced that decision might be made
some time later this AFTERNOON.

THE DOWNWARD WAY
Pretty Mary Ellen Hughes Soon Fin
ishes the Journey

STOCKTON, Cal, July S.-The name OF
the girl who was drowned in the Middle
River last Thursday proves to be Mary Ell
len Hughes, and not Mary Allen, as stated
by Hansen, the man who was with the
rbother Of the drowned girl, Thomas
Hughes, who came up by boat this morning
from Vallejo to arrange for the disposi-
ton of the body.
From the story of Hughes it seems that
Hansen coaxed the girl from home. Hansen
is a hunter by occupation, but has recently
been working in a saloon in Vallejo.
On the day of her departure Miss Hughes
told her mother that she was going to Point
Reyes. Her mother was somewhat suspic-
ious of the statement. Hansen had been at
the house three or four times to see the
girl, and Mrs. Hughes thought that perhaps
they were laying a scheme to go away to-
gether; but as no one saw the two depart in
the soop, she at last thought the girl had
really gone to Point Reyes.
Hansen seems not to have the best of
regulations. He had been living with pros
titute, 1t is said, but she died recently, and
he then turned his attention to the unfortu-
nate girl who paid so dearly for her folly.
The inquest on the body was held at Boul-
din last night and the remains were after
wards brought to this city. The verdict was
accidental death.
The corpse will be taken down on the boat
this evening and the interment will be made
in Vallejo.

River Steamers Cannot Land Their
Passengers

SEATTLE, July 2S.-Purser Twiggs Of
the steamer Humboldt, which arrived here

condition Of affairs prevails there. Several
steamers which, have no river steamer
connections cannot land their passengers.
They have been feeding them several

The most unfortunate lot of passengers
are those that went from Seattle on the
steamer Progresso. The company send

The passengers number about 1G0 and 1t is
possible they will nearly all be returned
