CAPTURE OF A PIRATE.
Bartholcmy Defeated One Spanish Vessel,
but Had to Succumb to Three.

but Had to Succumb to Three.
Frank r. Stockton. in his sketches of
Tho buccaneers of Our Coast" in ST
Nicholas, tells of the capture of a huge
Spanish merchantmen by Bartholemy
P~ortugucz and his small crew. Mr.. Stock
Ton thus relates them misfortune that befell
tho ~victors:
They cast anchor at Cape St. Anthony,
on tho west end Of Cuba. After n consid.
cradle delay ut this pince they started out
again to resume their voyage. But it was
not long before they perceived to their dis
ma thrco Spanish vessels coming toward
them. 1t was impossible for II very largo
snip manned by an extremely small crew,
to sail away from these fully cuuipped YES
soils, and AS to an attempt to defend them
selves ngainst the overwhelming power Of
the antagonists that was too absurd to be
hough of even by such u reckless fellow
us Eartlolcmy. So when the ship was
hailed by the Spanish vessels he lay to and
waited until n boats crew boarded him.
With tho eye of II nautical man the
Spanish captain of one of the sbius per-
ceiVcd that something was the matter with
this vessel, for It's rigging and sails were
terribly cut up in the long tight through
which 1t had passed, and, of course, he
wanted to know what had happened,
When he found that the great ship was in
tho possession of n very small body of
pirates, Bartholemy and his men wore i'm
medlately made prisoners, were taken on
board the Spanish ship. were stripped Of
everything they possessed, even their
clothes, and were shut up in the hold. A
crew from the Spanish ships was sent to
maj the vessel which lax been captured,
and then the little fleet SGT sail for San
Francisco in Campeachy.
An hour had worked u very great change
IN tho fortunes of Bnrtholemy and his
men, In the fine cabin Of their grand
prize they had Toasted and sung and had
gloried over their wonderful success, and
now In tho vessel of their captor they were
shut up in the dark, to DO enslaved or per-
hupS executed.

calists and a single instrumentalist,
and one of these practically a debu-
tante But it is to be said that the di-
rectress, Miss Nourse, successfully ac-
complished the feat, with hersen the
only woman on the bill.
She has not, we believe, before been
heard here in concert. A native Oh TINS
city, she is still another witness to the
fact that Sacramento possesses Tar
more of musical ability than most COM
munities of like size. Her voice is a
promising soprano, as yet rather cold
and lacking in maturity; that is to
say, there is room for development. But
1t is a voice of great clearness, sweet,
and of remarkab bic volume for so fraglie
a body. Miss Nourse has the throat of
a singer; her method is wholly devoid
of mannerisms; her style is good, but
will broaden, and confidence with ex-
perience will bring with it warmth. 1t
is not tc be understood that the voice
is now inexpensive. Quite the con-
trary; but there is lack of freedom and
assertion which is to be expected in so
young and comparatively untried a
singer. She sings now with tenderness,
simplicity and ease altogether charm
ing, but she will acquire force and
vigor without losing the other quail
ties, for the reserve power of her voice
is unquestioned. She has every reason
to be satisfied with her success last
night. Her reception was very cordial
and fiattering. If her audience was not
reused to enthusiasm, it was certainly
we'll pleased, and went away confident
of the young singers capacity to fill
expectations along the line of much
higher achievement
DR.. H. J. Stewards high standing as
an organist renders comment upon his
numbers superf1uous. 1t must suffice to
say, as has so often been said of him,
that he is master of the instrument
and a thoroughly accomplished and
highly finished musician. His most ef-
fective number was the Chopin's POL
onaise in A." but he carried the au-
dience by storm on a recall WI Ii the
daintiest, most delicately played lit Of
composition ever heard from the organ
over which he presided last evening,
when he gave the delightful "Gavote"
from "Mignon."
Frank Coffin, the well known tenor
has too often appeared in Sacramento
to make any analysis Of his art neces-
sary now. He was in good voice and
sang with entire satisfaction to the au-
dience, which manifested it's pleasure
in an unmistakable manner. All in all,
1t was a successful concert; not a great
one, and rather a monotone as to
themes, but for all that an entertain
ment CT an excellent order

INDEPENDENT FoREsTERs.
Address by High Chief Ranger Nc.
EIfresh Last NIGHT

Under the ausuices of Court Sierra
a union meeting of the Courts of Inde-
pendent Foresters of this city was held
in Independent Order of Foresters'
Hall last evening, where a large num-
ber of the membership gathered to
greet High Chief Ranger C. A Nc
Elfresh of the Jurisdiction of Califor-
MIA.
After the regular business of the
evening During which L. H. Irvine
was made Forester-at -Sight) was
disposed of, the distinguished visitor
took possession of the meeting and for
more than an hour entertained those
present by explaining the changes, in
the constitution of the order
High Chief Ranger McElfresh be-
came eloquent in his remarks. He is
a master at his business as a promoter
of safe fraternal life insurance, and is
thoroughly informed as to all phases
of the question. His explanations on
the subject are very clear, lucid and
enlightening.
After adjournment nice lunch was
partaken of and a general social time

It Had just Happened.

The other night-or, rather. it was
very early in the morning-the teis-
phone in a certain newspaper office raag
loud and long. Most of the workers
had gone home for the forty winlis that
newspaper people contrive to put in be-
tween times, but there was one man
on the dog watch"-that is, you know,
he was the one person detailed to stay
around the office and be ready for any
thing from murder to a, fire. AT thai
hour Of the day-about, well, some
where around 3 a. m.-when the tele-
phone III a newspaper Office rings it
generally means a police story that is
worth looking up so the dog watch
hastened to answer the summons
"Helloi" said a voice; lis it too late
to get something into tomorrow mofn-
ing's paper?"
Not if it's important" was the re-
ply.
"Oh. it is," assuringly.
The reporter rushed for pad of pa
per and a pencil screwed his ear up
to the telephone again and said:
''All right; fire away there!''
Then the voice was heard again,
tremulous with emotion:
THE engagement of Miss - to Mr.
-- is announced"
There was an explosion of wrath at
the press end of the line, and the rules
of the telephone company restraining
irate persons from indulging in profan-
ity were smashed into smithereens.
I why under the blankety-blank-
blank Chat wasn't exactly what was
said, but it will do, you know "didn't
you send in such stuff earlier in the
day"
But couldn't said the voice. apol-
ogetically. You see. it just hap.

the city of Washington for the perma-
nent capital of the Government of the
United States, by authority of an Act
Of Congress, approved July 16 1890. In
May, 1900, the archives and general
offices of the Federal Government were
removed to this place On the 18th of
November, 1890, the national Congress
met here for the first time, and as
sumed exclusive control of the Federal
district and city. This interesting
event assumes all the more significance
when we recall the circumstances at
tending the choosing of the site, the
naming of the capital in honor Of the
father Of his country and the interest
taken by him in the adoption of the
plans for its future development on
magnificent scale.
These original plans have been
wrought out with a constant progress
and signal success even beyond any
thing their trainers could have fore
seen. The people of the country are
justly proud Of the distinctive beauty
and government of the capital and of
the rare instruments of science and ed
ucation which here find their natural
home.
A movement lately inaugurated by
the citizens to have the anniversary
celebrated with fitting ceremonies, in
Guiding, perhaps, the establishment of a
handsome permanent memorial to mark
so historical an occasion, and to give
1t more than local recognition, has met
with general favor on the part of the
public.
l recommend to Congress the grant
ing of an appropriation for this purpose
and the appointment of a committee
from its respective bodies. 1t might
also be advisable to authorize the Pres
ident to appoint committee from the
country at large. which, acting with
the Congressional and District of Co.
lumbia committees, can complete the
plans for an appropriate national cele-
bration.

AGRICULTURAL INTERESTS.
Much Accomplished by the Depart
ment the Past Year.

The Department of Agriculture mas
be- .en active in the past year. Elk
plorers have been sent to many Oh the
countries of the Eastern and western
Hemispheres for seeds and plants that
may be useful to the United States, ana
with the further view of opening up
markets for our surplus products.
The forestry division of the depart
ment is giving special attention 10 the
treeless regions of our country ana IS
introducing species especially adapted
to the semi-arid regions. Forest nres,
which seriously interfere with produc-
tion, especially in irrigated regions, are
being studied, that the losses from this
cause may be avoided. The department
is inquiring into the use and abuse OF
water in many States of the West, and
collecting information regarding the
laws of States, the decisions OF the
courts and the customs of the people in
this regard, so that uniformity may be
secured.
EXPERIMENT STATIONS.
Experiment stations are becoming
more effective every year The annual
appropriation of $4,000 by Congress
is supplemented by 100000 from the
States. Nation wide experiments have
been made to ascertain the suitable
ness as to soil and climate and States
for growing sugar beets. The number
of sugar factories has been doubled in
the last two years and the ability of the
United States to produce its own sugar
from this source has been clearly dem
onstrated.
WEATHER BUREAU SERVICE.
The Weather Bureau forecast and
observation stations have been extend
ed around the Caribbean Sea, to give

AE We take pleasure in publishing this testi-
monial as showing the interest taken in CUTI-
cURA REMEDIES, and the various uses made of
them not anticipated or suggested by us. We
cannot, of course, anticipate how CUTIcURA
Soar will work in cases similar to the above, but
to those who desire to try 1t we would suggest
beginning with q very weak solution or " suds "
of warm water and CUTICURA SOAP until its
action is determined. For inhamed, granulated,
or eczematous eyelids, light applications of Gu
TIcURA ointment will in most cases be found
to work wonders.
