Sad Plight OF AN Old Resident Of
Sacramento.


The following press dispatch was re-
ceived from New York last night:
John Houseman, SO years old, who
says he was once wealthy man in
Sacramento, Cal, was taken to the
workhouse to-day to serve three months
for vagrancy. He had been committed
on Tuesday last, but became sick in
his cell and had to be removed to Belle
yue Hospital. 1t was found that he
was suffering from phthfsis. House
man says that while a young man he
had gone West and settled in Sacra-
mento and amassed a comfortable for
tune. He was elected a Councilman OF
the city. but after time lost all his
money and had to come to the East
He says he has been rambling about
New York for two years.
The above. dispatch is at least
partially correct. John Houseman was
a resident of Sacramento and a prom
inent citizen in the sos, but he re-
moved from here to Stockton upward
of thirty years ago, and made that his
home for long while. He there held
a position in the Internal Revenue Ser
vice under John Sedgwick.
Many years ago Houseman went East
to live with relatives. He had one fail
ing-a passion for liquor-and that was
the cause of his undoing. He has a
son in San Francisco who moves in the
best circles, though not a man OF
means

HAPPY CHILDREN.
Santa Claus Annual Visit to the
Found1ings' Home.

Santa Claus visited the FoundlingS
Home at Ninth and W streets yester-
day afternoon, and each of the seventy
two little people cared for in that insti-
tuition well remembered his visit and
look forward to another Christmas tide
to watt him in again.
The children Of the home were given
their Christmas dinner at the same
time other people were eating turkey
and other good things, but the joys Of
the Christmas tree were reserved until
yesterday, and the efforts of the lady
managers, the Matron, Mrs. Fountain,
and her assistant, Mrs. Bremen, and the
half dozen nurses, to please their
charges, were appreciated by all of the
little people old enough to be able to
associate Christmas with Santa Claus
The receiving rooms of the institu-
ton had been prettily decorated with
palms and other evergreens, and in one
Of them stood the Christmas tree, life
size, the branches loaded to the break
ing with things dear to the childish
heart, and the floor beneath heaped
high with packages of toys. baskets OF
sweetmeats and toothsome CONNECTIONS.
Sixteen little people whose ages
ranged from two to four years, and
who were too young to take part in the
exercises and old enough to glory in
the beauties of the Christmas tree and
its load of good things, occupied the
place of honor facing the tree, and the
good behavior of the little tots spoke
volumes for the system on which the
institution is conducted. and for the
kindness and firmness of the nurse VIII }
had charge of them.
|. The rooms were comfortably filed
with friends and patrons of the insti-
tuition, and wheH finally everything was
in readiness the larger boys and girls
were marshalled in, and lining up, sang

tune. if not with fervor. Little Ethel

After the program came Santa Claus
and he was greeted with wide-eyed as
constituent by the little people. His
whiskers were wonders, as was his
cap, but these peculiarities were for
gotten when he commenced distributing
the gifts. Not one of the little people
was forgotten.
The management desires to return

ties who contributed to the Christmas
tree

TEACHERS PLEASED.
Delighted With Their Treatment
in Sacramento.

Philip Prior, Treasurer of the Cali
fornia State Teachers Association, In
speaking of the present session last
evening, stated that it was the most
successful ever known in the history
of the organization. 1t was successful
not only in the excellency Of work &C
complished, but also financially. He
also said that the excellent arrange
ments that had been perfected by the
local organization in caring for their
individual comfort was worthy of the
highest recommendation. He felt war
ranted in saying that every individual
visiting member of the association
would always retain a very kindly rec
objection for the broad cordiality of
the Sacramento public.
He also stated that Secretary of State
Curry had treated the association with
the greatest kindness. and had earned
the thanks of it's members.

question, forwarded a reply to Sena-
tor Perkins on behalf of the chamber.
Mr.. Katzenstein Enclosed with his let
ter an argument ON the subject made
by him at a recent meeting of the
board, and which was then published in
full in the Record Union. His re-
ply was as follows:
Sacramento, Dec. 26, 1899.
Hon. George c.. Perkins, Washing
ton, ID. C.-Dear Senator: I have had
the privilege of perusing your several
favors. addressed to Messrs. Frank Mil
Ter and J. o. Coleman, President and
Secretary, respectively, of our local
Chamber of Commerce, in acknowledge
ment Of the resolutions adopted by the
chamber in opposition to the adoption
OF the proposed treaty between the
United States and the West Indies.
I was glad to learn that the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs propose to give
our delegation special hearing, be-
fore they report the matter back for
consideration. I also note with pleas
ure your personal activity in the mat
ter,
In respect to the claim advanced that
the full reduction of duty on citrus
fruits would not amount to more than
$4,000, and that it would not in any
measure affect the prices Of citrus
fruits in the United States, I am
forced to question the competency of
such a suggestion and can regard it IS
only the yenturing of an lily natured
opinion at best. No one can foreteil
the detrimental influence upon the
citrus fruit industry. 1t Is the cast
ing of the pebble in the stream with
the never ending circles resultant.
You are, I know, very busy man
and 1 do not presume on even lang
syne to bore you. But the adaptable
dty to citrus culture of the lands round
about US here, and the great extent
lying northward, including the vicinity
of Marysville and Oroville where your
earlier days and mine were spent, has
been demonstrated. With the .ieca-
dence of the mining industry came the
to take dts place. The primitive prob
lens have been happily solved. we
have just discovered the adaptability
of these lands to the successful growth
of the citrus fruits and are on the eve
of largely increased acreage. when
this matter comes up to do the indus
try irreparable damage. Stop our
planting, check the industry and an in
jury is done at once that money can
not measure and that would alone
equal in this section of the State many
times $4,000.
l am inclosing and invoke your at
tention to an argument recently pre-
sented before our local Chamber of
Commerce, which will no doubt con-
tain some food for reflection. DO me
the personal favor to consider it care
fully.
Hoping that the Yule Tide has been
good to you, and that the new wear
may be particularly happy and pros
porous one to you and yours, believe
me, as ever, sincerely yours.

THE BUBoNIC PLAGUE.
DR.. Mathews Thinks CaHfornaa In
No Danger.

DR.. W. P. Mathews, Secretary of the
State Board OF Health. had thought of
going to San Francisco this morning to
confer with the authorities relative to
taking steps to prevent the Introduction
of the bubonic plague into the State,
should need for such course arise. He
concluded however, to defer the trip,
and last evening said he did not think
there was one particle of danger of the
plague ever reaching California.
The Federal Government. DR.. Math-
ews said, supersedes the State or the
San Francisco Board of Health in
quarantine matters in San Francisco
Harbor, and unless some actual danger
arises the State Board of Health will
take no action. Should it become nee
essary, however, action will be taken,
regardless of what the United States
quarantine officers may do. He felt,
however, that the plague had been cor
nered in the Hawaiian Islands, and
would not reach the Pacific Coast.

reception of last night are much dis
tressed because a guest lost a shawl

one much like it twice too large for
him. In both cases these strangers
wish their own early to-day. Exchange
can be made at the Art Gallery. In
both cases guests are involved, and the

A HOT CONTEST.
Football Players Training Hard for
New Years Day.


The first big football game of the
season will be played at Oak Park on
New Years Day when the Sacramento
team will line up against the strong
team of the Chico Normal School. The
same teams have played at Chico this
year and the Sacramento boys were
defeated in a hard-fought battle by the
score Of to 8, although they had the
better Of the argument up to the last
minute of play.
The home talent are confident that
they can best the Normal School team
and are anxiously awaiting the excit-
ing moment when the signal will be
given for the clash of arms.
Practice at the Exposition building
last night In which the Sacramento
boys went through signal work only,
has changed the football situation en-
tirely. The play was meteoric in It's
brllliancy, and in comparison with
that played on Thanksgiving Day was
at least 20 per cent better. All the
Sacramento supporters were elated
over the prospects Of the team The
dash, vim and vdgor shown by the
boys was quite different from the play
which brought defeat at Chico.
The work of the team demonstrated
that the eleven Is now consistent in
it's performances. If they play che
fast game on New Years that they
are now capable of they ought to de-
feat the Chico players
At Chico, on the other hand. the
stock seems to have risen a number of
points also. The team Is at hard prac-
tice every day, and will be strength
ened by the presence of two or three
Berkeley boys, chief of whom is Wan
BILE, the great end of the big team and
the one who did so much to hold down
the Carlisle Indians on Christmas Day
Reports from the school say that the
condition of the men will be all that
can be desired when they line up on
the Oak Park gridiron, and the boys
are now happy and confident Of vic
tory.
Captain Daily Of the home team
spoke encouragingly last night Of the
condition and marked improvement Of
his men. He said, IT feel much bet
ter to-day, for I see that we have a
fine lighting chance for victory. The
concentrated work that the team has
done in the last few days has given
me great satisfaction We certainly
have improved in individual play, in
team work and chiefly in physical con-
ditaon. The backs are playing faste1

Manual Training and Art Education
was organized among the members of
the California Teachers Association.
Professor James A. Addicot of the San
Jose Normal School was elected Presi-
dent, and Professor Gleason Of the Cen
trail High School of Oakland was
chosen as Secretary.
The association will use every endea-
vor to foster the purposes for which it
was formed, as the members feel that
both manual training and are educa-
ton have been greatly neglected by the
Teachers Association in the past.
