Rev. w. B. Anderson, the well
known pastor of Bethel A M E.
Church, has been ordered by Bishop
Gaines to go Immediately to Sacra-

pressed at the news and are only con-
soled by the thought that their pastor
is going to a wider field to do good
During the three years he has been in
charge of the local church he has won
innumerable friends by his courtesy and
strict attention to duty. When he first
accepted the pastorate the Bethel A. M
e. Church had a $4,000 debt hanging
over it, but by energetic work he re-
duced it over $4,000. increased his con-

At the Oak Park diamond this after
noon the Watsonville baseball artists
will try conclusions with the Gilt Edge
warriors, and a warm time is in order.
The Watsonville Babies are strong for
their age, and have acquired a habit
of playing ball along championship
lines. In Grandpa" Harper and Kid
Whalen they have two stanch pitchers,
the former of whom has an undesirable
habit of downing the locals when he
manipulates the leather in this city.
But the locals say it will be different
this time, and with the blonde youth
who winters in the horned toal country
back in his '9S form, there is nothing
in the State can touch him. And Har-
vey is in form, and being so, he is just
little better than any other team can
drum up. With Harvey and Doyle the
local fans expect to take both games,
but it at present looks as though they
will have a hard fight to do it, as the
boys from the beet region have won
eleven out of the last fourteen games

FINE CATTLE AT THE FAIR.
EXHIBITS SECURED BY d.
RECTOR JOHNSON.
Herds From Nevada Will be Car
ried Free by the Railroad
Company.

Visitors to the State Fair next month
will be afforded an opportunity to gaze
on some of the herds of choice blooded
cattle that are owned at Reno and
Lovelocks, New, through the liberality
of the Southern Pacific Railroad Conn
pany.
1t has been the custom of that COM
pany to transport to and from the fair,
free of charge, all State exhibits, and
in this instance the rule has been ex-
tended to embrace these fine cattle
herds of Nevada. The expense of
transportation for such a long distance
is so heavy that the owners of these
herds had intimated that they could not
afford to ship their cattle to the fair.
so the directors of the State Board of
Agriculture determined to see if ar
rangements could be made whereby this
difficulty would be overcome.
Director Grove L. Johnson was re-
quested to lay the matter before the
railroad company. and he did so, with
the result that Vice President George
Crocker has written him that the Ne
vada herds would be carried by the
company free of expense to the owners
Director Johnson has received, in re-
letters:
San Francisco, August %, 1899.
Hon. Grove L. Johnson. Sacramento
Dear Sir: Replying to your letter as
TO free transportation for the two herds
of thoroughbred cattle which are in

have been given to the traffic depart

Dear Sir: l am directed by Third Vice

your communication of the Dist inst.
to Vice President Crocker that this
company will meet your request and
handle the cattle which you desire to
move from Reno for account of John
Sparks and from Lovelock for Joseph
MarZen to Sacramento. for purposes of
exhibition only. at the State Fair un-
der the same terms as shipments move
to the Fair from points in California,
viz: shipments should be forwarded to
Sacramento at regular rates consigned
to the exhibitor and charges collected
on delivery.
Consignees or exhibitors must sur
render to this company's agent, when
returning shipment, the expense bill
showing charges to the fair accompa-
MED with certificate of the Secretary
of the association, later setting forth
that property has been on exhibition
and not changed hands. when consign-
ment viii be forwarded to original ship
ping point free of charge. and agent al
sacramento will refund all charges for
transportation to the fair
If you will advise me when the ami
mails will be ready to move and the
number of cars from each point, will
give instructions accordingly. Yours

Sir: I inclose herewith copies of
two telegraphic dispatches received
last evening from the Governor General
of Porto Rico, by which it appears
that the devastation wrought by the
recent hurricane in that island is even
greater than was at first supposed. 1t
is evident that a great multitude of
people rendered utterly destitute by
this awful calamity must be fed and
cared for during considerable period
until they can have the opportunity to
produce food for themselves. Enor-

State to contribute generously to the
relief of the people of Porto Rico.
Swift steamers have been provided to
leave the port of New York to carry the
supplies directly to Porto Rico as
rapidly as they can be collected.
Contributions should be either in sup
plies of the character indicated, or in
money in order that the supplies can be

to Colonel F. B. Jones, Army Building,

young Slack has forced his wife to lead
an immoral life in order to support
him. and that she has been made TO
consort with all kinds of men for that
purpose.
Three months ago child was porn
to the couple, and for two weeks past
the mother and her offspring have
according to her story told in court
yesterday-been living on charity, her
husband having refused TO contribute
to the support of either of them.
The matter was brought before JUS
tice Henry by Special Officer Healy,
who caused Slacks arrest, at the in
stance of his wife, for refusing to sup
port his child. The wife's story was
a severe arraignment of her husband,
while he resorted to the Adamic method
of throwing all the blame for their mis-
fortune on the woman.
The Court was not deceived, however,
and ordered Slack to pay $50 fine or
go to Jail. He chose the latter alter
native, but will probably weaken in a
day or two.
Mr.. Healy has taken steps for the
proper care of the mother and child
for the present. Justice Henry said
the responsibility Of Slack would not
end with the result of yesterdays pro-
ceedings, for he would see that the
husky young father be made to pro-
vide for his child after he leaves the
Jail.
Mrs. Slack is now at the Rescue
Home, the good women of which say

for a year and give her an opportunity
