SOLDIER COMFORTS.
Children Helping Along the Fund
"A Few Hints.

The work of the Red Cross and SAM
tary Commission is going bravery on
Yesterday the children of the public
schools contributed their quota to the
special fund known as the "Sacra-
mento Soldiers Comfort Fund" The
little ones were as proud over their do
nation of dimes, quarters and half
dollars as could be, and many child
was heard to express the hope that the
money would make the soldiers happy.
There are some private schools to be
heard from within a day or two, when
the full sum contributed by the pupils
of all the schools will be announced.
Treasurer Miller received yesterday d
portion of the contributions, amounting
to $156.
There is a lack of Red Cross buttons,
but word has been received that Sacra-
mento will be sent another supply very
soon. The people don't mind putting
up their money, but they want their
buttons. Like Billy Birch, they want
that doughnut now!"
A Sacramento woman, who had some
experience in the old Sanitary Com
mission work at the East in the time or
the rebellion, called the other day at the
Red Cross and Sanitary Commission
headquarters in San Francisco to take
note OF what is doing there. While
there she procured a list of articles
needed in Red Cross work, camp, field
and hospital. The list is made out as
approximating to what each branch or
local Red Cross organization ought TO
contribute or provide for. The list is
given for general information:
Two cases g DOZEN condensed milk,
90 cases lime juice (quarts), 1000 boxes
crystallized lime juice (capsules), doz-
en- graduates assorted Sizes, 3 dozen
glass stirring rods, glass spirit lamps,
3 cases alcohol, 1 dozen fine sponges 1
dozen large sponges, pots calundula
cerate, 1 gross essence of ginger, :
fever thermometers, 5 pounds perman-
ganate of potash, 1 gross cheap dose
glasses, 30 pounds prepared cocoa, :
dozen Horlicks matted milk hospital
size), ) gross goggles (green ana
smoked), 40-inch sheeting pa yards long
Cat wild, bandages for throat Cat Wild,
eiderdown flannel sleeping caps (at Wild,
flannel bandages for abdomen Gin guam
tity), safety pins Gin plenty), towels (un-
Iimited), pillow slips 271a inch Tin
plenty, wool slippers Cat WILD, socks Tin
quantity, comfort bags Gin quantity,
put in plenty of court plaster and no
thread on spools
The abdominal bandages are made as
follows: Take a yard and a half of all
wool flannel, any dark color; tear into
three equal width slips; turn in each
end at the top inches, at the bottom
Az inches; stitch neatly down by cat or
feather stitch; on each side insert three
stout safety pins. If the maker chooses
she can finish the long edges, but II so
let her simply turn them over and tack
them down, not hem them, as 1t may
make a hard edge, which is bad.

tent. draws his blanket over his Shout
ders and sleeps the sound sleep of ex-
hausted nature Such is the monoton-
Gus round Of soldier life that is being
endured by the citizen soldiery.
In speaking of what could be done by
their fellow citizens in point of aid,
the men say: I'VE do not want the lux
uries of home life. but what we do want
is company fund to be placed In the
hands of our officers, to be used for alb
solute necessities. For instance, there
are no facilities in camp for bathlng'
and we fully realize that, living as we
do, it is essential that bodily cleanh-
ness be strictly observed. If the peo-
pie at home would only create such a
fund our Captain could provide for
bathing at some bathhouse, and Incl
dentally could occasionally procure
mess of fresh meat, tobacco, Matches
etc.
There is not one of the boys that
is grumbling," said a member of the
company, nor is there one that does
not feel an honest pride in the fact
that he got a chance to go to the front.
Nor is there one who does not feel more
than grateful for the glorious send
off the citizens gave US on leaving
home. and the many friendly acts
they have done since, but we know
that they do not realize our daily
needs. and we would be honestly CRATE
full for a fund to provide-not luxurles'
but common comfort, and we know II
will be forthcoming as soon as the peo-
pie know we require it"
Company has received well-merited
praise from all sides since its appear
ance at the Preside, and is accounted
one Of the best bodies Of troops in the
| field, but it is a well-known fact that
| the regiment possesses eight other
companies of men who are equally as
eager to serve their country. The men
of Captain Cookies battery, being quar-
tered in barracks, do not have to en-
dure the hardships encountered by
Company F, but company fund would
be a very welcome thing to them also.

BURGLARS SHOT AT.
They Had Raided the Basement OF
A. Tompkins' House.

Shortly after 10 o'clock last night A.
Tompkins, who lives at 1415 Twenty
first street, heard noise in the lower
part Of the house and started to inves-
tigate. He looked from the kitchen
window, and as he did so he saw two
men leave the basement and begin to
climb over the fence into the alley.
Mr.. Tompkins had armed himself with
a revolver and while the men were on
the fence he fired a shot at one of them
and then rang up for the patrol, stat
ing that he believed he had wounded
one of the burglars.
When the officers arrived on the scene,
however, there was no trace Of the
burglars. 1t was subsequently ascer-
tanned that the thieves stole fifteen cans
of fruit from the basement, and MIR.
Tompkins believes they had made one
trip before he saw and fired at them.

Santa Cruz and Gilt Edges at
Snowflake Park Sunday.

The weather permitting, there is
every indication of high grade base
| ball at Snowflake Park tomorrow
afternoon, at which time the Beach
combers" of Santa Cruz will try out the
! Gilt Edges.
That the Santa Cruz boys can play
ball has been amply demonstrated, ana
it will be interesting to watch a hight
| to a finish between them and the husky,
| hard-hitting locals. The fact that two
weeks have passed without game in
this city, may, it is thought, whet up
| the cranks to an appreciation or the
game as it ought to be played. the
bitter defeat met by the Santa Cruz
boys in this city month ago, is said
to be ranking in their minds, and they
will attempt to wipe out the stain-pro-
vided the umpires are straight
There are hundreds of people in this
city who believe that the Beach
! combers" had plenty of room for a
kick when here before, not from any in
cIination on the part of the umpires
to do other than fair, but from error in
judgment The boys from the sad sea
waves" certainly quit" in the seventh
when they had a fair chance of win
! dering what might have happened had
they staid in the game.
It is said the visitors will line up extra
strong tomorrow. Louie Balsz, the old
time Sacramento boy-than whose slow
ball there is none more deceptive-will
twist the sphere for them, and Dauben-
bis, formerly with the Angels, will do

RETALIATION AT OTTAWA.
A Mining Claim Bill Introduced to
 Counteract the Alaska Bill.

Ottawa, Ont, March Consequent upon the action Of the United States, the retaliationist faction in the Ca nadian parliament is becoming exceed fngly active, and has already begun to take aggressive measures against Americans. MT. McMullen, leading supporter of the dominion admins tration, gave notice tonight of bill which provides that only British sub jects shall be permitted to own min ing properties in Canada, and that aliens must have been resident in the dominion at least twelve months prior to the recording of their mining claims, and also must have declared their intention of becoming British subjects before taking up such claims. This measure is clearly intended as a retaliation against the enactment of such legislation as the Alaska bill congress pr opposes.
