Christmas at County Hospital.

Christmas at the Amador County
hospital was observed with a turkey
dinner, Christmas tree and entertain
ment.
The holiday season has been one of
cheer and good Will to the inmates
of the hospital. Nearly all the rooms
and halls on the lower floor we're
beautifully decorated with evergreens
and red berries. In one corner of
the large dining room, which was
neatly trimmed, was beautiful cedar
Christmas tree, heavily laden with
presents for every inmate, and draped
with colored paper chain, made by
the little members of the first and
second grades of the public school,
and presented by them for the occa-
sion. The event of the day was the
entertainment provided for by the in
mates of the hospital. Superinten
dent LeMoin made good his reputa
tion of being an unGIring worker, and
with his corps of star entertainers
from various foreign countries, con-
sisting of Mrs Beeding White,
prima donna dancer and opera singer
of Italy, Fritzy Hammerhardt of
Germany, and Don Signor Gregoria
Gomez of Venezuela, made success
full attempt to bring a bright spot
into the lives of the suffering inmates
as we'll as many visitors, who assem-
bled for the merry occasion. After
the regular program, attorney Chas.
Crocker favored them with some very
interesting and appropriate remarks,
which were greatly appreciated, and
followed by the principal event when
Gregoria appeared as Santa Claus,
and presented all the inmates with
presents, none being sighted.
Miss Kate Cavallara acted as Lady
Bountiful, by collecting nearly forty
dollars from the good people of Jack
son, which was wisely spent for use
full presents in the shape of shawls,
shoes, socks, handkerchiefs and other
articles of clothing, besides cigars,
bananas, oranges, apples, nuts, cand-
les etc., for which all the inmates, as
we'll as Mr. and Mrs LeMoin are very
grateful. For the Christmas dinner,
turkey and cranberry sauce, mince
pie, celery and other articles con-
-As
in abundance. Few people realize
the good that can be done, and one
needs to witness the many unfortun-
ates made happy by such entertain
ments, to have an idea of the happi-
ness which the wise expenditure IF
comparatively small sum of money
upon Christmas occasions, and all
hope to see many more of them.

Wedding Boom Explained.

Nashville, in ElDorado county, Just
across theCosumnes river, had a boom
in the matrimonial line last week.
Four couple from that little burg
hied away to Amador county to have
the nuptial knot tied. Why there
should be such sudden rise in the
matrimonial market, and why they
should all prefer that the ceremony
should be performed by Amador coun-
| ty officials, instead of their home
county, was not clear at the time.
The following paragraph from the re-
port of the grand jury of Ell Dorado
county, which assem- bled the fore part
of the month explains the situation,
and accounts for the preference of
the parties for jackson rather than
Placerville.
1.-The Grand Jnry are still in session
and yesterday we're preparing to in
vestigate the cases Of several couples
at Nashville who we're accused of
living together .unlawfully. The
parties in question are asld to have
taken time by the forelock and headed
off the investigation by getting legally
married IN Amador conuty."
"
The New York Commercial Bulletin
says that the Bacon Interstate Com
merce Law Convention was "boss
ridden," and tnen goes on to define
the situation. ''Mr Bacon, after de-
legates had been appointed to the
Interstate commerce law convention,
sent out circular letter, as chairman
of his own executive committee, de-
lining the eligibility of the delegates.
lie presented a test, which was moth
Ing more nor less than a requirement
that every delegate sign a pledge to
"endorse and agree to support the
legislation as outlined IN the Presi-
dents last message to congress, to so
amend the interstate commerce law
that the interstate commerce com
mission shall be given the power,
where given rate has been challeng-
ed, and after full he;;rIng found to be
unlawful, to prescribe what shall be
a lawful and proper rate to take its
place, the ruling of the commission
to take effect Immediately.
'This was in effect the edict of Mr.
Bacon as to the qualifications of
delegates for his convention, who
were thus to be bound to accept his
cut and dried platform and give their
sanction to his position on the sub
Ject in advance of any consideration
or discussion. Was anything ever
more completely machine-made and
boss-dictated than the utterances of
this so-called convention of delegates
of commercial organizations? Mr.
Bacon's course has produced division
and confusion that will probably
make this Chicago convention of no
practical efect.''

post for guard duty was at the place

FOOT BALL GAME

In the write-up of the foot ball
game played at their town Saturday
last, between the high school team
from Grand Rapids and that from
Merrill, the Merrill Advocate had
this to say:
"In hotly contested game last
Saturday afternoon the Merrill high
school boys suffered defeat at the
hands OF the Grand Rapids team, who
gained their victory after the Merrill
boys seemed to have cinched the
game.
The game was even closer than the
score indicates for neither side scored
during the first half and in the second
after twelve minutes OF play Grand
Rapids made the only touch down OF
the game on costly tumble. when
the ball was on their own four yard
line.
Mr.. ScOfield who came up from
Wausau to referee the game, said that
Merrill had the best team, for il
gained the most ground and hello
Grand Rapids on downs easily. Also
that Grand Rapids won the game on 9
auke, which only happens once in q
great while. All the people who saw
the game have the same opinion, al
Merrill gained four times as much
ground as their opponents and forced
them to punt every time they secured
the ball. Merrill expects return game
in about three weeks and the boys
think they can easily turn victory ir
their favor"
In this write up they deprecate
our boys playing ball, intimating that
they could win only by such an &C
cident as tumble. They should
remember that this is mark OF good
playing, to seize such an opportunity
and make as spectacular a run. and
score as was made in this game. And
they forget to criticize their own
team for having played SO carelessly
as to make a tumble. Again, they
failed to give our team the credit ia
their note Of the blocked attempt t6
kick goal. The Merrill team are good
players, and in this game played well
but the home team feel confidant OF
beating them again in the return
game to be played here in couple
weeks.
