small and a cripple ne won the hearts of
the soldiers and they took him in and
made him one of their number. And when
the regiment sailed for the Philippines
the mascot went too.
He was far below the legal age, but
somehow it was managed and the first
his parents knew of his intention came
from the letter telling them he had gone.
He was a comfort to the boys in their
camps before the enemy and even in the
trenches and men and officers grew fonder
of him as the campaign progressed. He
was at all the battles of his regiment, but
there was no Filipino bullet for him. He
shared the hardships and he shared the
glory and in spite of his wooden leg and
his tender years he was fast becoming a
on the sick list and three more had
passed when he was reported dead. 1t was
not the chances of battle-it was the
smallpox. The little fellow who had gone
in the rude army hospital of the horrible
island plague.
The little mascot's life deserved a bet

was. one, of the few bright spots that
marked his years.
Johnnie was born in Philadelphia

of his limbs the other was the financial
ruin of his father Leaving Philadelphia

lished a small cigar business which was
keeping him alive when the war began

BIG RUN OF SALMON
IN THE SACRAMENTO
GOOD RESULTS OF PUBLIC FISH
PROPAGATION
This Seasons Catch Believed to Be
the Product of the Battle
Creek Hatchery.

Several things have happened recently
which indicate that the efforts of the
State and United States Fish Commits
sions to stock the waters of the coast with
salmon to make up for the drain of the
fish canneries and increased consumption
are. beginning to bear fruit. 1t had been
noticed that whenever the salmon egg
hatcheries had turned out limited or small
supplies of fry the corresponding seasons
four years later yielded correspondingIy
small supply of fish. From the time the
hatcheries opened up to four years ago
the eggs Matched and fry distributed
amounted to about four millions. During
the first year of the Battle Creek hatch
cry the seasons salmon eggs taken
amounted to sixteen millions. The follow
ing year the product was thirty millions
and last year the amount reached forty
millions. AS 1t takes about four years
for salmon to mature 1t was believed that
the first of the increased output would
make their appearance this season.
Everything indicates that they have,
for the output of the Sacramento River
canneries is much greater than for some
time past. The average output of the
Cannery at Black Diamond, which burned
down week or so ago, was about 10000
cases. This year the run amounted to
over 10 900, when the plant was DESTROYED
by fire in the middle of the season. j. p.
Haller, manager of the Sacramento River
Packers Association, owner of the plant
the Fish Commission the following, which
Substantiates the foregoing statements
1 consider that had the best run of fish
this spring that have had for at least four
years Owing to the high price of meat in this
State there was very much salmon and
other fish consumed and consequently the mar
ket has had from 2000 to 5000 salmon sent here
daily OF course the price made by the market
men was about half cent higher than what
the cannery could afford to pay. and in con-
sequence the fishermen shipped great many
fish. If it had not been for this big demand on
the outside the cannery would certainly have
packed up to date of our fire fully double what
the actual pack Last week there was a
big run and the Carquinez Packing Company
was obliged to refuse fish for two days, as
they could not handle them, and on the mar
ket down here fish were sold at cents pound
Heretofore 1 have been somewhat in doubt
as to the amount of good the hatcheries were
doing but l am now convinced that the hatch
cries are Indispensable, and if 1t were not for
them our stock of salmon would certainly by
this time be only limited l trust, therefore
that you will use your utmost endeavors to
keep this work up and the move that you
are now making in regard to killing the sea
lions will certanlv be a great benefit to the
fish industries, they certainly destroy hum
dreds of thousands of pounds yearly, as we
find them following the runs up as far as

X T. LOUIS, May 25.-When the con-
ference of the members of the
Democratic National Committee ad-
iourned this afternoon at $50
o'clock it had taken no action re-
garding the policy of the party in
the coming Presidential campaign and no
plans for the platform were even dis
cussed. The meeting from first to last
was one of discussion regarding methods
of work of next year and the ways and
means by which this work could best be
accomplished. All members were urged
to see that the organization of the party
in their respective States is perfected as
soon as possible and all preparations
made for the fight.
The matters of Antitrust" "anti-im-
perialism" and silver were not touched
upon. No action was taken regarding
them and no recommendations were made.
The next meeting of the conference will
probably be held in Chicago on July 20,
and Chairman Jones of the National Com
mittee has been asked to call a formal
meeting for that date. 1t is expected that
at this meeting definite action will be
taken and the question of what is. to be
the rallying cry of the Democracy in the
fall of 1899 will be determined.

Ottawa, Canada. where he said he had
been for the past four months looking
after some mining matters.
Governor Stone Immediately after call
ing the meeting to order announced that
reports on organizations and conditions
in the different States were desired. One
by one the representatives of the differ
ent States outlined the conditions exist
ing at home, and the reports were ac-
cepted without recommendations Of any
Klnd. Not one OF the speakers touched
upon the trusts, Imperialism or silver

tions in their States. and suggesting that
strong efforts be made to provide q cam

against Editor Devlin of the National
Committee Press Bureau was then
brought up by Committeeman Cahan of
Illinois. He made q vigorous speech
claiming that Devlin had acted against
the regular Democratic organization in
Illinois, and that he should be removed
He said the control of the Democratic
party in Illinois was now in the hands
of the regular Democrats. and that II
should be allowed to remain there If
Mr.. Devlin persisted in his attacks upon
the regular Democracy of Illinois he
should be compelled to do so from some
other position than that of the official
manager of the Democratic National
Committee. He urged strongly that Dew
lin be removed.
A motion was carried appointing a COM
mittee of three to investigate the DeVlin
matter and report to Chairman Jones
upon his return from abroad. Mr. Stone
appointed on the committee of inVestiga-
ton Messrs Johnson of Kansas Daniels

OCCURRED AT A PARTY
MORE EVIDENCE TO PROVE AN
ADOPTION.
Litigation Over a Big Estate Becom-
ing More Interesting an
the Trial Will Last for
Weeks.
MORE EVIDENCE TO PROVE AN
ADOPTION.

Evidence in the case of Alfred c. Rulofs
son against the executors of the last Will
of the late Captain Winslow G. HalL -
which the plaintiff seeks to recover "
entire estate of the deceasd on the
ground that he was legally adopted py
Captain Hall, is still being heard by Judge
Belcher. Rulofson was on the stand yes
terday and said that at party given by
Captain Hall in his honor in October or
1882, the captain publicly announced that
he had legally adopted the plaintiff in
the present action. Many other times,
said the witness. Captain Hall introduced
him to friends as his son, and always
acknowledged him as such.
On the occasion of the party referred
to, the witness continued. after the
guests had been seated Captain Hall rose
from his chair and raising his wine glass
said: 81 want all of my good friends to
drink to the health of my son, whom
doubtless you have known up till now
as Alfred RulofsOn. The captain gave
parties frequently, it was further said by
the witness, and always took pains to in
troduce me as his son. and / know that
in the law l bore that relation toward
him.
Rulofson, continuing his story. said that
he met Captain Hall some years before
the adoption, but it was while he was on
the captains ship and Rulofson had told
him of his unhappy home life that Cap
tain 1tdlI determined 10 dtOpl niiH' liO
proposition was made to Rulofsons father
and as he had no objection Rulofson
quilted his old home and went to live and
aid his adopted father.
After Captain Halls death the adopted
son was not mentioned in his will, de
cedent's entire estate, which is valued at
about 100000 being bequeathed to col
lateral relatives.
The case will take several weeks to try,
during which period the defense will en-
deavor to prove that Captain Hall simply
protected the claimant and never legally
adopted him.

Farm Hands Are Needed.

STOCKTON, May 25-There is every
reason to apprehend a .dearth of field
hands during the coming harvest For
two years the overplus of labor in the San
joaquin Valley amounted to almost a
pest. as the idle men augmented the row
ing bands and sooner or later degenerated
into common tramps. Experienced har-
vest hands will come near commanding
their own price this season, and unless
way the harvest will proceed slowly and
be long drawn out. Contractors are also
finding that general labor is scarce. II.
E. Barber who has contract on the Val
ley road at Antioch, could use more men
and teams if he could only get them, and

The Conviction by Jury Of L. r.
Hansen Is Having Good
Effect

The victory gained by Prosecuting At
torney Carpenter on Wednesday in secur-
Ing a conviction by a jury of L. R. Han
sen, proprietor of the poker club adjoin-
ing the Metropole saloon on Market street
for permitting percentage game of poker
to be played has had a good effect
Yesterday, when the cases of Frank
Winn, w. Parker. c. Sipe Alfred Bar
nard, Julius Klein, Budd Williams and
John Mason, who were arrested along
with Hansen for playing a percentage
game, were called in Acting Police Judge
Groeznger's court, Carpenter stated that
the defendants were willing to plead
guilty on condition that a nominal fine
be imposed on them, and as they derived
no benefit from the percentage he thought
it would be better to agree to the propo-
sition, which met with the approval of
the Chief of Police.
The Judge said he would take time to
think over the matter and would reserve
his decision till tomorrow after he had
imposed sentence on Hansen.
