William BilNngsly is an amateur
photographer who has number Of
friends who work in the establishment
Of j. e. Rhoads & Sons, at Third and
Orange streets. Yesterday the Way
farer saw him at work with his cam
era.
He gathered his friends in a group,
arranged them carefully, went back to
his camera, got the focus and said:
'Now, please remain perfectly still
for 1 am about to press the button"
AS he did one Of the group gave a
leap in the air and seemed to spread
himself all over the group. Billingsly
was disappointed. but ne made another
try, and succeeded in getting every
thing but the nose Of one friend, whC
persisted in refusing to get it within
the focus Of the camera.

HTS BABY SISTER.

There is a local restaurant keeper
who has little son, probably years
old. He is an affectionate little fell
low, and especially fond Of babies. One
evening recently, so the Wayfarer is
told, his papa and mamma went out
calling and took him with them. At
the house where they were entertain
ed was pretty little baby girl, about
five months old. II entered the head
OF the boy that he could have heaps
more fun II he had a little baby sister
and then and there he opened negotia-
tions, much to the embarrassment of mis-
father and mother.
His uncle was Of the party, and, be-
ing possessed of tact, he set about
Quieting the youngster.
'Never mind" ne said, "you SAVE
your pennies until you get twenty-five
and give them time and I'll bu,
you a pretty little baby sister,"
This satisfied the boy and everyon,
else, and nothing more was thought o
it.
Three days ago the boy went to hi
uncle with twenty-five pennies, an,
, handed them to him.
''Why, what are these for?" was tn
inquiry Of surprise.
"They are for my baby sister," tn
little boy replied, and now the uncle /
wondering how in the world he is &c
t ing to save his reputation for truth an
veracity in the community in which b
j. lives.

ALMOST ANOTHER.

Although some weeks have elapsed
since Miss Kent, of Philadelphia, walk
ed into the Christiana river at Third
street bridge, the approaches to the
draw are still devoid of safeguards,
and yesterday afternoon, the Wayfarer
is credlbly informed, a restive horse
came within a few inches Of backing
a wagon and its owner into the stream.
Miss Kent has already placed her
case in the hands Of a Philadelphia
lawyer and l see by the newspapers
that he is in correspondence with that
body relative to a settlement OF the
case out of court. That of itself should,
in my opinion, have prompted the Levy
Court to place safeguards at the bridge.
Under existing conditions the place is
dangerous to both the driving and
walking public"

Special Dispatch to The Call.
 PORTLAND, Or. March 26.-The bag gage of the Naval Cadet Company, of which James J. Corbett is the star, was attached this evening just before the com pany left on the Southern Pacific train for San Francisco, on a breach of con tract suit brought by Manager Jameson of the Victoria Theater. Corbett gave bonds just in time to get away. Jameson claims that he had asked Corbett for a three days engagement at Victoria, and that Corbett decided not to come. thereby depriving him (Jameson) of $500 profits on the engagement. Corbett, when seen just before he left for San Francisco, said:
 'I have been so seriously i'll that I had to send for my wife and it was impossible for me to act. My contract with Jame- son and every other actor plainly states that if am sick l have a right to can eel an engagement, and this is what I did. It was a dirty, low-down way to use man. to sneak around here and attach me at the last minute, but I hap pened to get wind of what this fellow Jameson was hanging around here for and l foiled him.

NEVIL.LS' GOLD IS IN DEMAND Second Suit Growing Out of the Palace Hotel
 Incident.
Ex-FOren1an Azhdarian Wants Twice the Sum His Brother
 Demanded.
Belief in Fresno That an Ulterior Motive Actuates the
 Pair.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

FRESNO, March 26.-M. H. Azhdar- ian, the former foreman of Captain w A. Nevills owner of La Favorita and Paragon vineyards in this county and the Rawhide mine and extensive inter- ests at Jamestown, to-day filed suit against the capitalist asking for $50, 900 damages for the unpleasant experience which he claims he had with the cap tain in the Palace Hotel in San Fran cisco March fl. Yesterday the plain tiff's brother, John E. Azhdarian, sued for $25,000 for two hours alleged irn- prisonment in the Palace, but the for mer foreman was not content with a modest sum like that. He demands twice the amount to compensate him for his grievances.
 The complaint recites the fact of the alleged imprisonment and then the ordeal which AZhdarian claims to have passed through is thus stated:
 That the defendant made repeated violent assaults upon plaintiff with firearms, struck him on the head with a deadly weapon, knocked him down and kicked, beat, bruised, wounded and otherwise grossly mistreated the plaintiff to great damage, to wit: To his damage in the sum of $5O,OOO'
 It was rumored that the wealthy vineyardist and mine owner was to be made defendant in another damage suit for s100,000, with Azhdarian as plaintiff. The opinion was freely ex- pressed by those who claim to have the inside to the trouble between the Azh- darians and Nevills that there is an ulterior motive in the suits. Nevills is preparing to defend his actions and has engaged a detective to collect evil dence. Nevills' defense will be that there Is a conspiracy to unburden him of some of his wealth.

Oxford has now won thirty two out of fifty-fve races rowed and has been the winner nine years i'll Suc- ceSSiOn.
 Oxford won the toss, which, with the prevailing wind, was regarded as as surfing them the race. The two crews embarked at $40 D. m. and the boats got away at 3:45 D. m.
