A singular experience befell Samuel
Harris Sunday afternoon that might
have been Sattended with serious
consequence had he been moving a
trifie slower. In coming down Court
street, he passed under the triangle
suspended by a strand of wire from
the fire house near the court house.
The triangle is used for ringing the
curfew. A bird, not more than two
or three ounces in weight, alighted
on the triangle, and started 1T swing
ing to and fro. The motion caused
the strand of wire to part letting the
sounding instrument fail to the
ground, just as Harris had passed
under it. The noise caused by the
fall led him TO look back, and thank
fortune tor the narrow escape. 1t was
suspended 30 feet or so from the
ground, aud had it struck him would
have been sufficient to kill him.

Obituary of John Giannini

John Giannini, whose death in Oak
reported in the Ledger was resident
of this county for forty years. He
was born in Switzerland in 1850.
When 10 years of age he left his
native land for California, coming by
way of the Isthmus of Panama, and
hence to Sutter Creek, where a
brother Jacob Giannini was living.
In that town he remained for three
years, afterward taking up some land
in the Pigeon creek district now
known as the Frank Uhllnger place.
After living there two years, he
moved to Drytown, and for thirty
five years was well-known and high
~ respected citizen of that place.
About two years ago he rented his
place III Drytown and left with his
family for Oakland, He was then in
failing health, and the removal was
mainly in hope that the change
would prove beneficial to his health.
He did improve for a short time.
The fatal disease consumption had
undermined his strength, and his re-
latlves well knew that the termination
could not be long delayed. lie pass

Permanent Amusement place.

John Ratio has rented the premises
formerly occupied by the jackson
Shoe Store in the Webb building, and
is fitting up the same for place of
amusement in the moving picture
show line. He expects to have every
thing done so as to be able to open
Saturday tomorrow evening if
possible. AZ first he will probably
run two or three nights week, and
should the patronage justify will
open every night. Such places are
becoming very popular resorts in
towns no larger than jackson. They
afford means of entertainment at a
small cost, from 8 to ~ cents admisk
sion, and this ought to insure a good
patronage. 1t is cheaper to pass an
evening there than in other places
where men usually paas their leisure
time. And for children too, 1t
affords Instruction as we'll as amuse-
ment. The scenes will be changed
every few days. Mr. Ratio went to
San Francisco Sunday, and returned
Tuesday, having made arrangements
for machines and pictures necessary
fol the business.

Why should a person sneeze? Why

explosive expulsion of air through the
nasal passages and mouth; but what

Some say that sitting In a draft will
cause sneezing. In former days IL was
a very polite custom to take snuff TO
encourage a sneeze. Men had their
bejeweled snuff boxes and carried
their handkerchiefs in their cuffs. No
doubt a sneeze was originally designed
to expel irritating materials from the
upper air passages. In the act a
powerful exploratory effort is made, the
vocal cords are kent shut til the pres

air is then suddenly allowed to escape

THE liveliest question in Washing.
ton just now is that of change in
the districts form Of government.
AS everybody probably well knows
affairs are administered now by a com
mission of three men appointed by
the president. one of whom must be an
army engineer
There is undoubtedly growing
opinion that concentration of au-
thority In the district government
would simplify the municipal situation
and produce better results. The com.
mission plan has its good features.
II has long been held up as a model
ideally suited to the needs of the Dis
trict of Columbia, where suffrage Ia
denied. But frequent and repeated
contention and pickering among the
members of the board have served to
create more or less general criticism
OF the commission plan, and thus give
the propaganda for change some mo-
mentum. With the commissioners OBJ
viously working at cross purposes,
and airing their differences, and sub
ordinate district officials following
