AMATEURS ON THE DIAMOND
COLUMBTANS DEFEAT THE ATH.
LETIC TEAM.
Young Terrors Charge the Umpire
With Throwing Them
Down.

1t was good baseball that put
up at Snowflake Park yesterday by the
Athletic Club and the Columbian teams
of the Amateur League and was de-
serving of a much better attendance
than was had.
The Columbians struggled manfully
against the Tigers and their
pitcher, Jerry Griffin, did phenomenal
and effective work with the sphere,
retiring man after man of the hard
hitters who last season put up such
great ball in the regretted Corker ag-
gregation.
But the old Corker fighting blood was
warm, and the sturdy Athletics played
to win, and for the first half-dozen in
nings it looked as though victory would
be theirs They had an excellent field
behind them, but the COlumbians were
heavy hands at the bat and touched up
Frank Newbert, who was in the box,
for many base hits, and from the
sixth until the end of the trouble it
was anybody's game. Both teams
were cheered on to do a little better
than their best.
Near the close, however, the Column
bians forged ahead, and when the
smoke cleared away the score stood IL
to in their favor, and the Athletic
Club team had met its first defeat Of
the season.

speeches before the banquet.
After the chicken pies and numerous
other good things had been thoroughly
sampled and the best adjectives per-
tanning to cookery had been selected
and tossed to the cooks and walters,
with great apparent reluctance the
parties retired to the upper hall to be-
gin the programme.
One of the best things of the enter

Miss Duden's scholars in costume OF

ADJUSTMENTS.

The new bill at the Orpheum is now
on. The reinstatement of popular prices
promises to give the management full
houses. Vaudeville was restored to
a packed house last evening with
q pleasing programme Of nice vari-
ETY.. If not as strong as some bills
heretofore presented, it is better
than some others, and makes a good
evenings entertainment. Vaudeville
entertainments have their variations of
excellence, of course, but it is evident
that the Orpheum management does
not propose to permit the standard to
go down with the lowering of admis-
sion prices A week of exceedingly
strong music, comedy and variety has
just closed, and now we have a lighter
strain of entertainment, but not the
less lively. The Friedlander Brothers
are variety musical artists in black
face, playing on many instruments with
skill, even to those of a Chinese orches-
ira They are a capital team, very
humorous as we'll as musical. Emily
Howard and Jessie Burdock appear in
male attire as two young swells out for
a time, and in song and mimicry Of
-'sobering up" present a neat act. 1t
IS very difficult for a woman to assume
such roles as these; it is rare that it is
done successfully, but these two cornely
young women achieve it. Colby and
Way are a very clever pair indeed.
Colby is a ventriloquist, and one Of the
best: especially in ventriloquial songs
he is very superior. Miss Way appears
as a dancing doll, and the two have the
assistance of Eddie Colby as a servant
in a skit introducing the two special
ties. The dancing doll is inimitable.
Miss Ways makeup" is perfection,
and her imitation of the automatOn is
incompatible The two acts win
rounds Of applause and many recalls,
though Miss Way cannot, after having
once resumed her normal condition, re-
gpond as the doll How she manages
to assume a countenance of such COM
plete inexpressiveness and to maintain
so perfectly the attitude of an autOma-
ton, is puzzling. Smith O'Brien, the
singer and monologuist, is very good.
He has a strong, pleasing and dramatic
voice He is a wit and humorist
He tells a good story, cracks joke Or
sings a comic or a sentimental song
with equal success. In Irish dialect he
is inimitab ble-not the coarse and bur
Iesque brogue, but the rich, natural and
pleasing dialect of the Green Isle. His
limitations of Emmet and Murphy in
song are excellent. After repeated re-
calls he closes his number with a pa
triotic song, in costume, I'VE Are
Ready" that brings down the house in
a storm of enthusiasm. Montgomery
and Stone are black-face comedians
and dancers who are premiers; espe-
cially in buck, wing, jig and similar
dances they are fine. They introduce
songs. witty dialogue and clever bur
Iesque also. George H. Fielding is q

RECEIVING The WAR NEWS.
PATRIOTIC SACRAMENTANs
ARE DEEPLY STIRRED.
Crowds Gather to Read the BuIle-
tins Telling of Admiral
Dewey's Victory.

The patriotic pulse Of Sacramento
beat at fever heat last evening. 1t was
hardly dark when the Record Union"
sent up a number Of rockets announcing
the fact that victory had perched on
the American flag as the result of the
first engagement between one of our
fleets and the Spanish.
The battle took place off the port of
Manila yesterday morning, and the
only news received was from Spanish
sources, and over a cable controlled by
Spain. Yet, reading between the lines,
it was easy to figure out grand and
complete victory for Admiral Dewey's
feet.
Scarcely had the first rockets red
glare been emblazoned against the sky
when people began Fastening to the
s'Record-Union" office to read the news
for themselves as spread on the bull
letin- boards AS soon as the first Span
ash bulletin was read, acknowledging
the sinking Of their flagship and several
other warships and the flight of the
Others into Manila harbOr for safety,
the pent-up patriotism Of the crowd
found vent in cheers for the valor Of
the American arms.
Those rockets seemed to set every tel
ephone in the city (and some Of those
sn the country to ringing, for there was
not a half-minute from that time until
nearly midnight that calls did not come
to the Record Union" for explanation
OF the pyrotechnical signals, and re-
quests for news Of the naval battle.
People living miles away in the coun-
try said they had seen tthe rockets and
wished to know the good news
Though these continuous calls for news
seriously interfered with the work of
the office. the Record Union" appre-
ciating the fact that people in remote
parts Of the city and out in the country
are anxious for the news, and that it is
not otherwise obtainable at night re-
sponded to every call, and hundreds Of
citizens were informed Of the cheering
news without leaving their homes or
being obliged to wait for this morning s
paper. 1t is safe to say that fully one
half, if not more, Of the telephone in
Quiries came from the gentler sex.
At Granger's Hall last evening patri-
otic services were held by Rev. L. R.
Drake. which Companies E and G at
tended by invitation. The guardsmen
were all in full uniform, and as they en-
tered the hall each was presented with

''The Volunteer" and Rev. A. c. Her
rick delivered a panegyric on "The
Flag" After the services the guards
men gave rousing cheers for the flag
and for the ladies Of the congregation.
The soldiers then marched down to
the Record Union" Office, read the
news of Admiral Dewey's great victory,
and gave a round of cheers for the val
orous sailor-boys who had shed glory
on the American navy, and another for

CHANGERS FESTIVAL.
They Celebrate Enterprise Oranges
Anniversary.

\ joint meeting of Sacramento Coun-
ty Pomona Grange and Enterprise
Grange was held on Saturday at Enter
prise Hall on the Jackson road. The
occasion was the anniversary Of En-
terpTise Grange.
From the goodly number present, the
fine flowers in the sisters hats, and
smiles and good cheer displayed by all
no one would suspect the farmers of
having short crops or of being discour-
aged over the seasons outlook. In
fact. the grange is just the place to
meet and leave dull care behind, and
fOrsake for a while the drudgery of the
farm and household The farmer
must get out among the light-hearted
once in while, or else he will fall to
brooding over his troubles and think
the world and all nature is against him.
Enterprise Grange has been in the
habit of celebrating it's anniversary
every year since its organization, and it
always brings together large crowds
from a long distance. The grange is
noted for it's good cheer, open-hearted-
ness and the splendid display of the
skill of its famous cooks on the ban
quet table.
The oranges were called to order by
Thomas Waite, Master of Pomona

War is No Joke.

A Captain on the staff of a division
commander at the battle of Gettysburg,
who afterward became a General and
commanded a division himself for a
time, once said that if he had it he
would willingly give a million dollars
if he could forget and never recall a
Gettysburg tragedy
I'VE needed every man in line said
the General. Orders had been given
to let no well or unWounded man go to
the rear. Our General had told the
whole staff that if we couldn't stop
stragglers any other way to shoot them
down AS soon as the firing began a
certain class fled from the front and
the staff flew at them on their horses
and pushed them back into the ranks.
1t was always a job L hated. 1t made
me mad to see a fellow run away from
his comrades when they were in trouble,
and l used to be rougher with them
than 1 wanted to be with any class of
Gods creatures. The enemy was press
ing our line very hard. A break was
greatly feared Back came another
cluster of stragglers, big, hearty fell
lows, who never could stay under fire a
second longer than they are forced to

with my drawn sword. Two of them
went back to duty The third told me
to go where it was hotter than that
hottest day at Gettysburg, and said
he was going back, no matter if the
whole staff stood in the way. Go back
to your place instantly, l demanded
AT that he cooked his rifle and was
lifting the barrel so that l would get
its contents. Down went my sword to
ground and out came my revolver.
Quicker than 1 can tell you, it cracked
and the man fell dead. Yes, it was
case of shoot him or be shot. 1 only
wanted to disable him without killing
a second more and he would have killed
me-"
Then why do you say you would give
a million dollars to forget the Incl
dent?"
TT is an awful thing to kill human
being. l can see just how that man fell
back, with an oath on his lips. I don't
like it. You wouldn't. l have COM
manded companies, a regiment, bri-
gade and a division to do wholesale
killing in battle. That was what we
enlisted to do. That was different from
shooting man. one of your own SOL
diers, at your side. I shall always re-
gret that it became my duty to have
q hand in that army tragedy. Chicago

"The feature of the game was the

pired very bad, giving the Young Ter
rors the worst Of it.
"Milpitas Mitchell, the cat-killer
played first base as if he was born in
that position. Milsner Of the Old Ter

ed up in an ice-house
''The batteries were Conrad, Branni-
gan, Patterson, Johnson and Mi1sner
for the Old Terrors and Rusie and Car
ney for the Young Terrors. Conrad al
| lowed twenty-five hits and struck out
one man. Rusie allowed two hits and
