CUBA ON CANVAS.
James w. Erwin's Entertaining
Lecture Last Evening.

The illustrated lecture, What I Saw
in Cuba's Capital" given at the Con-
grega tional Church last evening by
James w. Erwin, President of the Cal
ifornia Camera Club, drew a large au-
dience, and was extremely instructive
and interesting throughout.
Regardless of the fact that the IL
Illustrated papers have for the past year
been full of views Of Havana, Mr.. Err
win demonstrated that the half had not
been told. With his camera, and with
his superior power of observation he
caught situations illustrating the hab-
its and modes of living of the Cubans
which throw much light on the charac-
teristics of the pepole, while his views
OF the city are unexcelled.
That Mr.. Erwin is an artist in word
painting as well as with the camera,
was again demonstrated. His nara
tive and pictures dovetailed in such a
manner that each was needed only to
bring out the shadows of the other.
His audience was appreciative, and his
entire lecture was sprinkled with gen-
erous and deserved applause.

YESTERDAYS FIRE.
One Dwelling Burned and Two
Others Damaged.

Yesterday afternoon a gasoline stove
exploded in the rear part of the cot
tage at 612 G street, and in few
moments the building which was pa
per-lined, was in flames.
The firemen were soon on the ground,
but the water supply was inadequate,
and before a sufficient stream could be
had the cottage, which was occupied
by John White, was laid in ruins. Mr..
Whites furniture, clothing, etc., were
all destroyed, and considerable sum
of money in gold, which he had banked
away under the carpet, but which can
be recovered in bullion, was also
reached by the flames. The furniture
carried no insurance.
The cottage adjoining on the east,
which was occupied by Mrs. L. ).
Kelley, whose husband is an employe
of the Union Iron Works at San Fran
cisco, was badly charred by the flames,
and the furniture, which was insured,
was badly damaged by water.
The flames also attacked the cottage
west of the White residence, occupied
by David Cox, but was extinguished
before serious damage was done. Inc
three buildings were owned by A. A.
Menke and were fully insured.
During the fire a ladies' gold watch
belonging to Miss A. Kelley, was stolen
from the Kelley residence. The dam
age to buildings and furniture is esti-
mated at about 81, Coo
After the fire was under control Fire
men R. Trengrove, George Buchanan
and Charles Addison, who were work
ing on the rear porch, were struck by
bricks from falling chimney. Addi-
son was buried in the debris and had
his leg badly burned and his ankle
sprained Trengrove was cut and
bruised about the head and face and
Buchanan was severely bruised. All

ALLEGED FELONY.
A. Sbarbero Arrested on Charges
of Embezxlement.

Yesterday a few members of the
Bersaglieri Guard caused the arrest Of
A. Sbarbaro, Captain of the company
on charges Of embezzling it's funds. The
exact amount of the alleged shortage
has not been determined, but it is
claimed that there is a deficit Of be-
tween $500 and 81 coo.
A member of the company stated last
evening to a Record Union" reporter
that on several occasions the company
had considered the matter of Sbar-
baro's apparent shortage. but in con-
sideration of ms long service and what
he had done for the organization, de-
clined to prosecute him.
The same member said the accounts
Of the company generally were in a
confused condition and that it would
be difficult to determine how much the
organization is out.
Sbarbaro declines to talk about the

CHILDLIKE AND BLAND.
All Tins Unique Method Of Evinc.
ing His Gratitude.

Some time ago Justice of the Peace
Desmond Of Georgiana Township found
All Tim guilty of stealing cherries and
sentenced him to six months imprison-
ment in the County Jail
All Tim, through his attorney, c. T.
Jones, instituted habeas corpus pro-
ceedings on the ground Of insufficiency
of the complaint, the specification being
that the value of the alleged stolen
cherries was not set out, and on the
further ground that the commitment
was defective.
The matter was heard before Superior
Judge Hughes yesterday morning and
the points raised by the defense were
sustained. All Tim was discharged.
The solemnity of the proceedings
seemed to whet Tins appetite, and no
sooner had the court ordered his re-
lease than he struck his attorney for
the loan of a. quarter on which to dine.
Great Scottn exclaimed Attorney
Jones, where do I get off? 1 was just
going to tell you to dig up and pay
my fee.''

FOURTH OF JULY BASEBALL.
The San Franchises Will Play Here
on That Day.

The San Francisco baseball team will
try conclusions with the locals at Oak
Park on the afternoon of July 4th. On
the Saturday and Sunday following the
Oakland cripples will invade this city,
and on Sunday two games will be
played, one in the morning, and one IN
the afternoon.
The San Francisco people occupy the
second place in the league standing,
and they are stiff lot of players to go
up against so that the game promises
to be of an exciting nature.
Since the local people have shaken
the hoodoo which SO persistently pur-
sued them they are amply able to 10
battle successfully with the best of
them and if San Francisco goes back
with victory to its credit it will know
it has been in a battle.

dent, Myrtle Roberts being burned to
death February 5, 1899.

cough, and II cases of measles, but no
deaths from either.
There is no sickness in the Home

are faithful and efficient, never neg
tlecting a single duty

tions of clothes, fresh and canned
fruits and jellies. One was a large
hamper Of new garments from the
Needlework Guild. We have also re-
ceived a welcome addition to our
finances by a legacy of $1,170.90 from
the estate of James Quenton Of Red
wood City.
Thanks are due the Record Union

Sacramento Railway Company for the
annual pass for the children; to those

SO kindly helped to bring pleasure into
the lives of the little ones"
