New York, Aug. 27.—The Vice-Presi dent and General Manager of the West Shore Railroad Company, J. W. Langs, has returned from his trip to the wheat and corn belts of tho West. Ho was gone three weeks, and his trip took him over much ofthe grain-growing country of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys. He grew quite enthusiastic when talking about his trip. "Indiana," he said, "in IS9I will raise 63,000,000 bushels of first quality wheat Indiana, boforo IS9I, has never raised much over 20,000,000. We will throw off the odd 3,000,000, saying it will bo kept ior seed, and that will leave tho farmers 60,000,000 bushels for market. That means the Indiana farmers are to roceive ?30, --000,000 this year more than they over re ceived in a single year before for their crops, and they are going to get it in cash. That sum represents a time of prosperity such as our farmers have never had, and a supply of money which will make things hum as they have never hummed before in Indiana. "That is an old corn State, and one of the smaller ones. The same story can be told of every ono ofthe States in tho grain country. Money is bound to now in upon these farmers as they have never seen it before." Mr. Langs also showed what an enor mous business tho railroads were now doing in shipping grain lo the seaboards. His deductions were th>it tho yield of grain this year will be larger than the country has evor known, and that there will be enough to feed our own people, all Euro}ie, and some to spare. RECIPROCITY WITH VENEZEULA. Belief That an Agreement Will Soon bo Reached. New York, Aug. 27.—A Tribune Wash ington special says: Despite the adverse action of tho Venezeulan Congress on the reciprocity agreement proposed several months ago, persons who are in a posi tion to know aro of the opinion that an agreement which will be regarded as reasonably fair and satisfactory by both Venezeula and the United .States will bo reached and proclaimed within the next three months. The only obstacle to a prompt ratification of the first agreement was the apprehension felt by some in fluential Venezeulan statesmen that the effect of it would bo to diminish the cus toms revenue, upon which Venezeula mainly depends, to such an extent as to seriously impair the credit and re sources of the Government. It is be lieved that this apprehension has been removed in a great measure. tther considerations have also had some influence in producing tho change of sentiment. Among them is tho fact that !*9.'J5 per cent, of the products of Venezuela exported to the United States aro now admitted free of duty, and that it will be discretionary with the President to imposo duties upon more than W per cent, of such products imported into the United States after January 1, 1892, if Venezuela shall fail or refuse to agree to reasonable concessions which aro asked on behalf of American products. PATRIOTIC SONS OF AMERICA. Tho Color Question Meets |With An other Defeat. Philadelphia, Aug. 27.—At to-day's session of the Patriotic Sons of America tho color question was again up, under tho guise of a resolution offered by tho Pennsylvania delegates that a two-thirds vote shall be necessary to amend the con stitution. This proposition, however, was after a long and hot debate defeated by tho,y the deal. The bill goes into tho details of the mat ter at great length. Senator Stewart denies the allegations of fraud and conspiracy and charges Lyon with blackmail. He says Lvon lost all his money speculating and Uiou came to him iStewarti and threatened suit. Stew art regarded this as blackmail and said so. At the same time bo asked Lyon howknuch he wanted. Lyon took $60, --000 and signed a release of all claims against Stewart or Park. Judge Patterson, in tho Supremo Court, to-day hoard argument oh motion of Lyon to strike out certain alleged irrelevant allegations in Stewart's an swer, particularly that of blackmail.' The court reserved its decision. QUITE CHIXJLY. The Thermometer Four Degrees Be low Freezing In North Dakota.

The Report of Balmaceda's Vic tory Not Confirmed. i ONLY A SKIRMISH BETWEEN SCOUT ING PARTIES. Both Armies Actively Engaged In Re crnitine Their Forces and strength ening Their Positions—Excitement at Foyer Ileat—A Decisive Battle Sure to Tako Place Within a Very Few Hours Insnrjjcnt Cruisers Still Hovoring: About tho Harbor, Waiting a Favorable Opportunity to Uso Their Gnns. Special to the Record-Union. New York, Aug. 28— a. m.—Cablo ad vices to tho Herald from Valparaiso,under date of tho 27th, state that another day has passed, and still no decisive battle at Valparaiso. Activo operations, as far as fighting is concerned, have been sharp, but unimportant. There was a skirmish between scouting parties of the insur gents and Balmaceda's cavalry. While neither army has as yet seen fit to mako an attack, the tension is too great to last many hours. General Canto, commanding tho Con gressional army, has devoted much time to strengthening his position. The country between Vina del Mar and Quillota is practically in his power, and his cavalry has kept constantly on the move through this territory, bringing in supplies for tho army, drumming up re cruits wherovor possible, and having possession of tho moro prominent of tho Government supporters. Balmaeeda has strengthened tho fortilications about this city until they are well nigh impregnable. The rebel cruisors are hovering about the entrance- to tho harbor, but show no dis position to come in and risk an attack from the torpedo cruisers and forts. VICTORY CLAIMED FOU BALMACEDA. Washington, Aug. 27.—Seuor Laz cano, the Chilean Minister at Washing ton, to-day received a telegram, dated Valparaiso, the 2t>th, from M. M. Aldu nate, Minister of Foreign Affairs, saying that on tho 25th inst. tho insurgent army was completely defeated in Vina del Mar. A division of the Chilean Government army cut off their retreat to the ships and obliged them to surrender uncondition ally. All the country, tho dispatch adds, applauds the valor and skill of the Gov ernment army. "The war is over," said Senor Lazcano, the Chilean Minister, commenting upon the cable dispatch received from tho Chilean Minister of Foreign Affairs. "The war began more than six months ago," he explained, "and tho insurgents were led by Colonel Canto, who had been dismissed from the Chilean army. He succeeded in securing the Chilean navy, and on this account has been able, until now, to maintain his army. The Chilean Government had no nayy, and, because of this dipadvantage.Jhas been unable to hem in the insurgents. Had we had ships," said Senor Lazcano, tracing the positions of the Government and insur gent forces on a rough map ho had drawn so as to more explicitly explain himself, "we would have succeeded long ago." The Minister sent a number of tele grams this morning, spreading far r.nd wide the glad tidings of tho reported victory of the Chilean Government. Paris, Aug. 27.—A dispatch has been received at tho Chilean Legation in this city, from Buenos Ayres, which con firms the report that the insurgent forces have surrendered to Balmaeeda. London, Aug. 27.—The Daily Tele graph thia morning publishes a state ment from a Chilean resident here who says he has seen a private- cablegram from President Balmaeeda to the Chilean Legation declaring that his triumph is complete. The statement contains an assertion of the belief that tho policy of the victors is to annex Bolivia. DOES NOT CREDIT THE NEWS. Washington, Aug. 27.—The dispatch received hero by the Chilean Minister, announcing tho defeat of the insurgents at Vina del Mar, was shown to Foster, one of tho insurgent representatives, this morning, and that gentleman was asked if ho had heard anything from his party. He replied that he had received the fol io-wing cablegram from their agent late last night: "Iquique, Aug. 27.—The notices in spired by the Dictator's agents in Lima are absolutely without authorization." "This," Foster said, "probably referred to tho reported defeat of his party. Ido not say the dispatch received by the Chilean Minister is not correct," he con tinued, "but I think, in case a battle was fought on the 25th and won by Balma eeda, ho would not have delayed so long in spreading the news." Foster also took into consideration that the forces of Balmaeeda outnumbered those of the insurgents, but said that in case tho insurgent party was defeated it only meant a prolongation of the war, and that the insurgent force would be increased in every possiblo way« and the dictator fought to the end. Foster mo mentarily expects additional advices from his party. Daring the afternoon Mr. Foster, Sec retary of tho Congressional Envoys, had dispatches from Minister Errazieviz, at Iquiquo, which he thinks throw doubt on the accuracy of the reported surren der. They say tho constitutional army is still advancing, and the party is still confident of the defeat of Balmaeeda. CLAIM THAT BAUKAOXDA WAS DE- FEATED. PARIS, Aug. 27.—A confidential ajjont of the Provincial Government in Chile denies that Balmaceda was victorious. The agont says ho has a dispatch from Iquique and another from Buenos Ayres stating that Balmaeeda was defeated. DENY THE REPOET. Sax Francisco, Aug. 27.—The follow ing telegram was received by Antonio Varas of this city from the Congressional agent in Washington this afternoon: "Washington, Aug. 27.—The Consti tutional army continues to advance and is confident of defeating the forces of Ba.l -niaceda. Deny the news sent out by lialmaceda's agent. (Signed.) "BIAZUKEZ." SIKH'S PASSENGERS INTERVIEWED. San Dieoo, Aug. 27.—Alfred Meek, a passenger on the Siring, was interviewed this evening by an Associated Press re porter. Mr. Meek stated, that when the Sirius left Iquique on tho 2d inst. the in surgents were shipping soldiers to a southern port, the destination not being made known. Transports conveying soldiers, about 6,000 in number, were ac companied by the war-ships Esmeralda and Meggalanes. As the cable had been cut near Iquique, that port has been de prived of direct communication, all mes sages going directly from Valparaiso to Callao. The general opinion was that [when tho insurgent forces landed ia southern territory they would receive large reinforcements from Balmaceda's army. Lennox, auother passenger, says: "Shortly after tho departuro of tho Charleston and Itata for the north tho insurgent soldiers had a large supply of new guns, which were generally pre sumed to have been a portion of the ltata's cargo. Provisions aro very scare© in some localities, and many people aro on the verge of starvation. Thoro aro hundreds of young Englishmen and Americans down there who havo taken sides with the insurgents, and wh6 have been given commissions as officers in re turn. Balmaceda pays his troops and officers big salaries. The money is alk paper, and three to one of gold is the ratio it is hold at. Balmaceda has a queer way of circulating his money. If a merchant or individual refuses it and demands gold he is thrown into prison, and his estates, money, goods, etc., coniisc3ted. By this means he forces the paper currency upon the country. To refuse moans ruin, so tho money is taken on chance, and heia, shrewd enough to know that those who take his paper will aid his cause in every way possible, in order to save them selves, i "Augustus Edwards, a prominent banker and ono of tho wealthiest in tho country, sided with tho insurgents. Balmaceda seized everything belonging to him—money, lands," mines and all. Madame Corsino, a wealthy widow, owner of vast coal mines, also sympa thized with the revolutionists. Her mines were all closed by dynamite blasts, her property seized and tho mag nificent iron mole sho built at enormous expense, whore all her vessels were loaded, was destroyed by dynamite. This is only an isolated case. Hundreds of the same kind can bo enumerated." Damaged by Floods. London, Aug. 27.—The floods inCarin thia have destroyed many bridges and houses and caused an immense amount of other damage. Telegrams from all parts of the country contain the sumo tale of damaged orope* tho result of the terrible weather of the past few days. Tho havoc on fruit planta tions is dreadful. There is no gate now, but the additional wet is likely to com pleto tho destruction of the grain crops. Rain continued in torrents in the mid land and southern counties all day, but ceased at nightfall. Tho farmers havo now lost all hope of a harvest. A Stormy Mooting. DUBLIN, Aug. 27.—Thoro was a stormy meeting of the shareholders of the FVee man'a Journal to-day. Hot words wero exchanged between tho supporters of P, Dwyer Gray, son of the founder of tho paper, who was desirous that it should no longer support Parnell, and the present Hoard of Directors, who overruled Gray. Finally a vote of censure on the directors was passod by a large majority. The paper will appear to-morrow asa Parnell ite organ, but thereafter will bo pub lished in the interest of the Nationalists. The oftice is now guardod by the police. Doplorablo Financial Condition. City ov Mexico, Aug. 25,—Tho finan cial condition of Guatemala is deplorable. For the past three months neither the army nor tho Federal employes have been paid. Thero is a great scarcity of food in the city of Guatemala, in conse quence of which there is much suffering. At Tegucigalpa, the capital of Honduras, small-pox is epidemic. Terrible Tliuntlcr-Storm. VIENNA, Aug. 28.—A terrible thunder storm swept over the Trieste district yes terday, causing several fatalities.

Statement of tho Methods Used by Its Officers to Deceive the Bank Commissioner. Special to the Recobd-Uxiow. Puiladfxphia, Aug. 27.'—Ex-Assist ant Cashier Charles Lawrence of the Keystone Bank, now serving a seven years' torm for complicity in wrecking the bank, has written a statemont of the methods used to deceive ex-Bank Exam iner Drew. The letter, which bears date of August sth, and is addressed to Colonel William P. Drew, is in the form of a confession. Lawrence says that, in the first place, every moans possible was used to swell the assets and diminish tho liabilities of the bank. This was done by no regular method, but by plans suggested by op portunity. Individual ledgers wore altered at least twice a year, about the time Drew was expected. Sometimes whole pages wero abstractcd.falso balances made by altering pencil figures, large balances decreased and over-balances wiped out, false credits posted to over drawn accounts, so that the Examiner's attention would not be drawn to the ledger more minutely. Sometimes false cheques were posted to an account having a large balance, so as to reduce the liabili ties. This was done to the extent of $500,000. The money owed the cash drawer was replaced, sometimes by means of a due bill taken from the back of tho due bill-book and sometimes by means of a certificate of deposit or by the President obtaining a loan. Bills wero discounted which it was thought best not to let the Examiner see, lest it excite his suspicious, Lawrence, after giving the above, and expressing his inability to go into de tails, the above being but a mere outline of the methods, states that his share in the deception was not douo with a petty desire to deceive Drew, but to carry out tho instructions of his superior officer. The cleanest and most perfectly pol ished floors have no water used on them They are simply rubbed oft' every morn ing with a large llaunel cloth which is soaked in kerosene once in two weeks, lake the cloth and with scrubbing brush or stubby broom, co rapidly up and down, not across, the boards. After a few rubbings the floor will have a polished appearance. WHOLE 2s O. 15,559. FRIGHTFUL RAILWAY WRECK A Passenger Train Hurled a Distance of Sixty-Five Feet CARRYING DEATH AND i DESTRUC TION WITH IT. Twenty Pooplo Killed Onti Urht, Nino Seriously Injured and Twenty Badly Bruised—Not a Passonjjor In the Sleeper Escapes Heath—Tho Aoof tlent Caused by tho Spreading of tho Balls. Special to the Recokd-Uxion. m vnr.oTTK (X. 0.), Aug. 27.—One of the most disastrous railway wrecks over known in this «tato occurred about -j o'clock thu morning at Boston's Bridge, near statosvillo, on the Western and North Carolina Railroad. The west bound passenger, known a^ the tat mail, oomposedof baggage, mail, first an.l sec ond class ooaches, Pullman sleeper and Superintendent Bridge's private ear, was Loaded with passengers. Tho sleeper usually contains a good number of pas sengers from northern points, and last night was no exception. Just after leaving Statesvillethere is a high stone bridge spanning the third creek, and down into the creek plunged the entire train, a distance of sixty-five foot, Wrecking the whole train and earry big death and destruction with it. Twenty passengers were killed outright, nine s,: riously injured and tw. --000, Duke §30,000 and a Prince $70,000. They say that ono of tho reasons why Bismarck didn't accept tho title of Duke of Lauenbirrg was on account of the expense involved, though it is doubt ful if he would have taken it had it been brought to him on a silver tray. There is a withered and weazened old bookseller who sells from a barrow near Franklin's tomb in Philadelphia, tho dream of whose life is somo day to see New York.

EMPLOYERS ORGANIZATION. The organization of tho manufacturers and other largo employers of labor in San Francisco to resist what they claim to be unjust demands of labor unions, is the most important local occurrence of the year, so far as capital and labor are con cerned. The new association fully con cedes the right of labor to organize for its protection from wrong and to promote the aggregated personal interests of wage earners. They claim for employers pre cisely the same right. Instead, then, of such organizations being disturbing and calculated to increase tho friction be tween employers and employed, tho truth is that the result will be beneficial to both sides. Organization, orderly con served, and when not dominated by pas sion, induces conservatism. With em ployers and employes both organized aud pursuing remedies that law and reason justify, there must be reduction of fric tion; tho tendency must bo to tho settle ment of all issues joined without resort to forcible or extreme measures. Of course it would be infinitely better if so cial organization were such that mutual recognition of justice would render op posed organizations unnecessary. But we have not reached that supreme state of civilisation; With both capital and labor organized, each to resist tho undue exactions of the other, and to secure to each just demands, there must bo greater ease in bringing about adjustments satis factory to both. Organized capital and organized labor can deal with mutual complaints before hot blood or bitter prejißli.v.s arc engendered, for greater celerity will be the rule in the adjustment of disputes, and more satisfactory sottie menta will be attained. The very feet that on each side there ia an aggregation ol Interests in organizations watchful over the good of the membership of each, Will tend to diminish the aggressive spirit. Representatives of such bodies can arbitrate, when with organization operating against disunited individuals Bueh an end would be difficult to reach, or if attained only at the cost, of great ■offering upon the part of one or both ol the opposed forces. However looked at, It seems to us to be conservative of mu tual interests that under existing condi tions employers and employes should face each other with orderly organization instead of lawli ■boss, the injustice and tyranny of the boycott, tho costly experi ment of the strike, or the resort to the ruinous lockout. The new association in Its constitution and by-laws declar. Its appeal to the lockout is recognized as a last remedy for tho strike unjustly pro jected, and it at the same time pronounces its desire to avoid both strike and lock out and to prevent coercion in any form. The purpose of organized labor must be tho Mine, aud coercion by it also held to bo tho last resort. With the two bodies thus pronouncing in favor of the com plete exhaustion of amicable means for the settlement of issues it seems to us that the new movement must tend to lesson strikes, lockouts, boycotts and bad blood. IS DRUNKENNESS CURABLE Dr. T. N. Crothen, in the North Ameri can Rcvitic, holds that inebriety is cur able; that its curability follows from the application ol certain general principles, tho nrst of which is isolation and change Of surroundings—that is to say, the ine briate must go into quarantine, where ail the external conditions of life will an tegonise his disorder, and assist nature to return to health. This is not now doctrine. The iisyluui at Binffhsmton, New York, the pioneer, was founded and has been successful upon tho theory that inebriety becomes a disease, and is to Ik? treated as such. When wo oeaseto regard habitual drunk enncsa as a crime, and treat it as v dis aase,moTe certainly curable than hum ify, as Dr. Crothers correctly asserts, wo •will have done that which humanity and common sense dictate. No drunkard was ever yet reformed by punishment. On that point Dr. William A. Hammond de clares that: Even alter ph/sleaJ restraJnJ has boaa bttfa fuily persevered n tor long periods,many of Umm who have been subject to it resume the ha it ol getting drank rood after tbey&rewt at liberty. Tbisthey doslmplj becauee they wiint to. Drunkenness is a modeof enjoy ment for them. They either do not believe it to be Injurious, or, it so believing, They drink jmd knowingly take the consequences. Not long ago >t patient said to me: "l>octor, you may look nu up and Hurround DM by guards when Igo out, and you ir.ay advis^ me as ■Mich as yoaplease, and you may continue ti.is system oftreatnient for ten years or more; ami when you slop it and i pan from under your ehunre. 1 will get ilruuk. I shall do so because I like 10 get druuk. 1 uui a frco clv- Zen of this country, and i h:v i a right to get drunk if I wisii to roiuidia etc., have been urged simi larly as specifics lor drunkenness. It is doubt ful whether the physical action of any drug taken for a brief period will influence the in dividual to a sober, temperate course of life for a series of years thereafter, unless the state of his mind and other conditions arc all fa vorable. But this yielding of the will is what is striven for in asylums where drunkards are treated, It is not difficult to secure, for as the inebriate's reason gains control he usually welcomes gladly aids to his reformation. Tho class to which Dr. Hammond refers is not large. Take a hundred confirmed drinkers, and in sober moments put the question, and ninety-eight of them will confess abhor rence of the condition to which drunken ness brings them, and will embrace any hope held out to them of emancipation from the slavery of drink. Dr. Cyrus Edson gives his views in the same magazine, and bolieves with Dr. Crothers that inebriacy is curable when change of environment can be had. The patient must be cut oft' from temptation, and it is tho impossibility of permanently removing it that makes the cure of drunkenness so very difficult. He holds, therefore, that w Thile the asylums do a world of good, the real cures of drunken ness are few. But despito so high an au thority, the burden of opinion, and the experience of asylums, sustain the theory of curability. While some eminent doc tors doubt, and others deny emphatically that there is genuine, radical cure, yet it is a fact that of all thoso who are properly treated scarcely ten per cent, go back to their cups, and of the remainder not more than twelve per cent, fail of return to sound health, other physical and inde pendent disturbances being thrown out of tho account. DID SHE PLAY FAIR? In lack of a convenient big brother, shall not a young lady protect herself against the slanderous assaults of a man by resort to physical force? That is a question which probably none but the woman interested can answer with pre cision. Of course nine women out of ten will suffer on and endure shame and contumely before they will undertake the defense of themselves; and the nine we admire for their womanly heroism. But shall Jtho tenth woman, who takes her cause into her fists and punishes her traducer by punching his head soundly, receive our condemnation or commendation? That is a question which will divide senti ment. Seven out of ten men will prefer that their mothers and sisters shall suffer under slander in preference to carrying their defense into the realm of fisticuffs. Bat one having done so, what shall we say of her? Did she disgraco or honor her sex? When Minnie Cassidy black ened tho eyes of Cushing on Union Square, in San Francisco, on Wednesday, did sho lower herselt to the level of the slanderous cur, or did she vindicate the honor of her sex It is by no means a simple question. We are compelled to admire tho pluck of MissMinnic; we can not but think that in carrying her cause into the public forum by street assault she really vindicated her fame. A guilty woman would scarcely venture to invito scrutiny by such an act. But was it un womanly, and did the young lady offend tho sensibility with which men regard women by making a alogger of herself for oven a moment? Wo confess that while we should sadly deplore such an exhibition by a lady relative or friend, we could not repress a degree of admira tion for her conduct in disgracing and punishing a miserable, slanderous cur. There is but one being more contemptible than another in all animute nature; it is the man who is soundly thrashed by a justly indigant woman ho has wronged in the citadel of female character, by de famation of her fair name becauso she has rejected his advances, or for any other reason. Meaner than any other thing in creation is the cowardly whelp who vil ifies an innocent woman, saving and ex cepting only the littleness aud dishonor to which the man sinks whose eyes a woman blacks in defense of her honor ami who makes the fellow beg for mercy before the multitude upon the highway. But did Minnie play fair in the encoun ter to which we have referred She took a lady friend, Miss Hareourt, with her, who hold the hend of the slanderer while she battered his eyes. Considering the physical disparity between tho con a mling forces, was Miss Cassidy justi fied in putting a handicap upon dishing while she punched his miserable little head? Upon this all important question wo confess to indecision and refer the matter to experts in the art of self-defense. tamel-raisinft is said to afford the King of Italy much pleasure and profit. SACRAMENTO DATLY RECOED-UyiOy, FRIDAY, AUGUST 28, 1891.—SIX PAGES. NOTE AND COMMENT. The Oroville Daily Mercury has en tered upon its thirteenth volume. The pappr is ahead of the town in which it is published. Butto County has a new weekly paper, published by A. J. Brown at Moore's Station, and called the Graphic. The ap pearance of the first number indicates that the paper will have a liberal adver tising patronage. Living In Mid-Air. There is one thing that has kept pace with the ascending buildings. It takes you less time to reach the eleventh story of a new structure nowadays than it took to reach the third lloor a few years Rgo. When you step into an elevator in a mod ern building, you feel as if you were flashed through space. You are no sooner in the car than you hear the monotonous "ninth," or "tenth," or "eleventh" of the elevator boy. You find yourself over a great city hardly realizing how you got there; so the inconvenience of having an office in the mid-air is reduced to a point scarcely worth considering. Sweet Innocence. "Charley has had such bad luck with watches," said young Mrs. Tooker. "He lost two because they got saturated." "Charley said they got soaked," re marked the mother. "1 know; but saturated is a prettier word and moans the same thing. These rains are so penetrating; I suppose they got into the works and rusted them.— Washington Star." Our Little Worries and Ills.

The Satin Amazon is a fabric with a beautiful lustrous finish, and for outdoor or promenade wear it cannot be excelled, and the appre ciation of this fact is evidenced by the increasing demand. It does not crumple or crease, and as a dress material it gives to the wearer a gracefulness not possible with any of Tans, Browns, Grays, Hunter's Green and Black. Width, 54 inches.

A MUSICAL EVENT. The Great Double Band Open-Air Concert. Eignt Tboufeand or More Citizens Hare a Musical Outing Upon tho Plaza Lawn. Tho first—let us hope not the last double open-air concert of tho season was given last night at the Plaza under the direction of the Young Men's Free Open-air Concert Association. To say that it was a success is but to echo tho verdict of ail in attendance, and they made up a jury of not less than 8,000 people—some placed the figure as high as 10,000. It was an immense assemblage and a thoroughly well pleased one. The First Artillery Regiment Band and the Hussar Band wero consolidated for the occasion. C. A. Neale wielded the baton. To accommodate so largo a body of musicians the regular band stand was enlarged and the whole dec orated with bunting in national colors and fancy lanterns. The band programme was: March. "Charter Oak" Clans Overture, "Lutspkl" Kolu liela fcschottlsche, "Echoes of the Mississippi" Gordon Waltz, "Naiuatekct" bennett Overture, "li'Klegante" Pettee overture, "The Jolly Robbers" Huppe Betectlon."O 1 Fair Dow" Bchlepegnd Waltz. "Black Diamonds" local Medley, "o. How Delightful" Outlin Descriptive Selection, '*A Hunting Scene".- Bacalossi Describiuj? all the principal features of a hunt: The Call, Meet, Chase and Death. (Played by request.) Finale. "Star-Bpangled Banner" When the national anthem was played fireworks were burned on the four sides of tli.' park, bombs fired and Roman candles shot oil" in profusion, while col or.'d lights were burned at different and widely separated points. The effect was very line, and the display lifted admir ably into the stirring strains of the ->Star- •Springled Banner." The bands played in excellent taste and with a precision, smoothness and vigor scarcely expected from rehearsals tor a ainglo occasion by two distinct organiza tions. The musicians did themselves crodit and deserved fully the commenda tion given by the pleased multitude. interspersed in the instrumental pro gramme were three vocal selections by a musical combination under direction of \V. H. Kinross, and composed of .Missis. Cook,Colin, Desmond, Blair and Longbot torn as lirst tenors; Messrs. Beaumont, Millikin, Moynihaa,Wilson and Baddiffe second tenors; Messrs. Bruner, Milan, Casselli, Millikin (,T.) andJacoz as first bassos, and Messrs. Carroll, Crocker, Phillips and Phinney as second bassos. Miss Gertie Gerrish acted as piano act om panist with skill and good taste, upon which so much depends in support of singers. Tin- vocal selections wero: "The Sol di r's Farewell," Kinkel; vocal march, "Martial Hymn," Gomez; "Auld Lang Syne,*' Macy. The vocalists acquitted themselves excellently, and the audience demanded and received a. repetition of each piece. But by those at .some oon- Biderable distance, on the outskirts of the park, it should bo remembered tiiat it is difficult to sing in the open air; more so Htill in the midst of thick-growing,heavy foliaged trees; and still more so, when the. surrounding streets and walks are filled by a moving multitude, and street cars and carriages are rattling by. Under such circumstances it requires resolution of no ordinary character by a small chorus to sing at all. The Immense audience was notable for its order, uniform genteel behavior, and its keen appreciation of the musical feast set before it. The management was good throughout, and the coinmitteetnencon stant, wttbout being obtrusive, in their endeavors to make the affair an entire success. These open-air concerts bnildTor their promoters better than they know. In moro senses than ono thejr are beneficial. TheJ cultivate a rational taste for good music, they bring the people together in s BOdal way scarcely otherwise possible; they conserve pleasant relations and community pride; they gratify a taste for lust enough of sentiment to soften the hard lines of daily duty; they give the people a home outing; two hours of com plete relaxation, sensible, restful recrea tion, not open to a solitary valid objection.

LOS ANGELES' TURN. Another Lively Tilt With the State Board of Equalization. The Visiting Delegation Accused of Misrepresenting Facts—Mr. Swan '•Reads tho Riot Act." Los Angeles County was spitted and toasted by the State Board of Equaliza tion yesterday. Los Angeles is one of the southern cit rus belt counties that pleads poverty this year, and was cited to appear bofore the State Board because of the shrunken con dition of its assessment roll. Los Ange les is also one of the counties which par ticipated in the caucus held down south recently, at which it was agreed—as State Equalizer Morehouse puts it—to "will fully violate the law" in tho matter of fixing valuation. The law says that property must be assessed at its true cash value—but it appears that very few of the Bouthern counties paid any attention to that statute this y#ar. That is how it happened that their Boards of Supervis ors and Assessors had to come to Sacra mento and make explanations and an swer conundrums. OUT IN FORCE. Supervisors A. E. Davis (Chairman), S. N. Perry, E. A. Forrester and H. C. Hubbard wore there to look after their county's interests and so was Assessor Gray. Chairman Davis acted as spokesman for the delegation, and as soon as tho equalisers were ready for business he be gan his argument. He declared in tho first place that no county in the State h:id been assessed us high as Los Angeles considering tho value of land. In many instances, as he could prove, the As sessor's figures were actually higher than the property he assessed could be sold for. Property values had decreased greatly since the memorable "boom," and he did not consider it just to expect the county to continue assessing itself at boom rates. Property was now down to what it was really worth, and this year it had been assessed up to its true valua tion. This, he thougnt, was more than any other county could say. To raise the assessment would be putting it above the actual value of the property assessed. This would cause hardship and would creato "a great howl Irom tho south." NOT MA KINO COMPARISONS. Mr. Davis said he and tho other Super visors were perfectly content to rest their case on its merits. They maintained that the assessment whs a fair one and up to the full valuation. They did not care to draw comparisons with any other county's ussessment. "You might just as well," suggested Mr. Morehouso; "the others are doing it —comparing their assessments with yours."' "Well,"' said Mr. Davis, "we did not come here prepared to do any of that sort of business, and are not going to do it." Mr. Davis then asked permission to road some comparisons between values of property as it was appraised by court appraisers and the actual price the same property -old for. He took up first the estate or Bixby, and desired to read tho appraisements in an action for partition, and then compare them with the assess ments. Mr. Morehouse did not think appraise ments in cases of partition wore repre sentative figures, as they did not neces sarily indicate what price the property was to be sold for. Mr. Davis said the appraisers in the Bixby matter were competent men, and it was to be presumed that their figures represented tho true value of the land, as near as they could get to it. KB. SWAN'S IJ.KA. Mr. Swan said he understood that in actions for partition, the appraisers' figures merely indicated a percentage of the value of the property to be dis tributed. It did iaot necessarily repre sent the true value. It was all right as long an the heirs received an equal divi sion of the property. The appraisers could value land that was worth £400 an aero at ?100, provided they also appraised the land that was worth $4 at #1, and gave the h; appraised at $15, aaaessed at £_0; ap praised at $1U 50, assessed ;it >S>; appraise d at 8-1, and assessed at j520, etc Thon .Mr. Davis related how the estate was sold off in ten-acre tracts, and the ■snmsnnents, he declared, were by far higher than thoactual welling price. For example, he cited the following cases: One tract sold for 542 per acre, a lor fv>; another sold for $2t». snsosotid 1360; sold for |640, assessed $750; sold for $il'J4, aoaoSßod 1880; Bold for $180, assessed £{00; sold for §120, assessed &avis explained that his ebjeet was to show that when property was put up lor sale in Los Angeles nowadays, it would not as a rule bring under the ham mer what it w.i- assessed for. "Are these- figures a fair guide to the entire assessment of Lo., Angeles Comity?" asked Mr. Movehouse. "Well, hardly,*' replied Mr. Davis. "It shows, however, that our BSSOSlllltllll is plenty high enough. It shows that our Assessor ha* placed a full and fair valua tion on our property." somk sharp WOBDS. "1 ihoold think, according to your figures, that it showed an unfair valua tion," said Mr. Morehou.- M Well, this is only one piece of prop orty—we can't tell what other property WOUld sell for," was the Supervisor's lvnly. Mr. Morehouse did not appear to be satisfied with the^e comparisons. "If the reading of those figures, he said, "is fur the purpose of showing that Los Angeles I Mcd too high, it is good evidence. We are here ass Board of Equalization, and if any county will come before us i.iii ;tsk for a reduction, it will be listi tied to us attentively as if it were cited to show cause why Its assessment should not be raised. And, by the way, Mr. Daviß, did the Supervisors of J^is An- Koles, while sitting as a County Board of Equalization, make any reductions of those assessments you have just read?'' "'Mi, yes," replied Mr. Davis, "we re auced many of them one-third.'" .wKih X; William "averly, 128 X; Larry Farrell, j southeast corner Third and L: Sweeney I A Schmittgen, Twelfth and X; Fen toe.

Barker associated themselves with Willinni McKay, all of Oak land, .vitha view of searching out a BUttabla location in wiiieh to entr:i-e In tho profltabU oceapatlon of ftraftcrowlng. After visiting manj toeaUtlos, they deolded on tne Capay Valley, Yolo County, and the Rhodes tractut I'anered. -were opened with the Cfcpaj alloy Uind Company, owning the tract In question. With W. ir. Mnis, the General Agent of that company, they nrranired ior tha purchase of about 220 acres of foothill land This being more than they had thought of taking lor their own use, ihoy spoke to a number of friends about It. with the result that the tract was divided amon^ the follow- In- people: R. L. Hu-Uok, 40 acre:;; W. T. Parnett. 20 acres; N. T. Gmuhead, 90 acres! Mis. L. G:vathead, 20 acres; u\ McKay. 20 acres; N. D. Rarker, acres; &A. Barker, L'O acres; J. P. Hrownk-o. 20 acres; K. H. Has lett, 10 acres; Joseph Barker. 10 acres; A. W. Kelly io acres, and Frederick Kelly, io acres. So far this had bet-n merely a private ven ture of the gentfemeg above named, but In talking up the question of dividing the land already purchased, It was found that so many more would like to join it than the area of the purchase would admit of, that it was sug gested on all hands, "Why not gel BOrne more land and divide it up in the same way?" Then followed the idea of a stock company to take hold of a buyer tract and arrange for tho cultivation of the whole of it, after subdividing it according to tho requirements of the sub ncribcrs.

The Lapps have the liiblo in their own tongue, and few stories arc more Interest ing than the account of its translation. Over thirty yean ago a series of religious riots took place in a number of Tillages in Lapland, and among the rioters was one Lacs 1 laetta. Daring the riots several homicide* oe- curred, and Lars and some other of Ins I companions were committed to prison on a charge of murder, relates the New York Home Journal. They were found guilty and several were hanged, but in con sideration of his youth Uaetta. was con demned to life-long imprisonment. Com miserating his condition, his keepers and the prison chaplain extended to him such favors as could safely be granted to a life-long prisoner, and finding them re warded by good conduct, took especial pains to teach him to read and write. Lars became interested in the Bible, grew day by day more fond of reading it, and finally formed tho bold project of translating it into his native, tongue. Through many weary years the labor went on, lor Lars was no great scholar and the Lapp language, as may be readily supposed, is not a fluent literary medium of thought. But finally the work was done, the Bible translated and printed in thelan rtiageof Lapland and the remainder of tiaetta's sentence was commuted. lie was living as late as LS7O, and though an old man was still active and often served parties of travelers a> guide.

When I was a boy at school l remember very well that the teaoher told me that li^ht traveled at the rate of 6,000 miles a minute, and I know lie was not the kind oi a man to toll a lie about a thing of that kind." "He didn't tell a lie.

THE "HABEAS" WAS LONELY. Sheriff Stanley Could Not Produce Beatrice Butterfield, And the Reason Was That Sho Had Not Been Placed in Ills Custody at All. There was quite a little surprise in store for Lawyer Bruner yesterday when he appeared in Judge Catlin's court to urge an order for the release of little Beatrice Butterrield—-who had been committed by Police Judge Cravens, at her father's request, to the Whittier Reform School. Sheriff Stanley was on hand to answer the writ of habeas corpus, but he had no "corpus" to produce—the child had not been placed in his hands. The petitioner stated that he had as sumed tho girl had been placed in the custody of tho Sheriff, and was not in formed to the contrary when he called on that official and notified him not to part with her untiltho habeas corpus pro ceeding had been disposed of. Sheriff Stanley explained that the com mitment had been left with him by Chief of Police Drew, and he supposed the child would bo brought in, but up to that time sho had not been. Under these circumstances there was nothing for the court to do but dismiss the writ, and in doing so Judge Catlin dryly remarked that the proceeding re minded him of an attempt to present the play of "Hamlet." with Hamlet left out. Subsequently Mr. Brunei- visited the homo of the Butterfielda and found the child there with her parents, Ho advised the father to place her in the custody of the Shorilf, but up to the time of the dos ing of the Sheriff's office in the afternoon this had not been done. There is our. section of tho law govern ing the management of the Whiuier Re form School which would seem to make it possible for any person to place a child therein, but it provides that the commitments must issue from a Superior Court. Hence it is doubtful if the Trus tees of the school would receive the girl from her father in person, unless it was upon such a commitment. In two Instances boys have been sent from this city to the Reform School with out commitments from the Superior Court. In one case the commitment was from the Police Court, and in the other from a Justice's Court. Sherift Stanley states that the trustees of the school ob jected at first to receiving tho boys, but finally did so—probably because they were delivered by the Sheriff. He was informed that this was the only county from whence children had been commit ted by any other than Superior Courts. Should little Beatrice Butterfield be placed in the Sheriffs hands, it is likely the habeas corpus proceeding will be re newed, and tho court called upon to settle the question of jurisdiction in tho matter of commitments to tho Reform School. The girl's parents persist that she has a mania for running away from home, and that they know of no way in which to restrain her other than by sending her to tho Reform School. This may be so, but there should be some other means found. At all events tho proceedings had in the Police Court at the time the child was committed were such as to impress those present with the idea that her father did not realize the stigma that ho was placing upon his little daughter, and also that the latter was not nearly so vicious as tho complaint against her implied. CHARGED WITH EMBEZZLEMENT. A Young Man from Solano County Ar rested Last Might. A Davisvillo Constable came hero last evening with a warrant for the arrest of a young man named C. B. Maxwell, on a charge of embezzlement. Maxwell came in from Dixon on the overland train, intending to leave for Portland on the express train for that place, bat was met at the depot by the Constable and Ollicer Shellars and ar rested. At a late hour he was still in conference with the Constable, and apparently de sirous of settling tho matter, even offer ing to return with him for that purpose. The orlicer would not explain the nature of the alleged embezzlement. Maxwell is a young man of genteel appearance and good address. He is a telegraph operator. A BIG RAID. The Job Which tho Police Had on Hand I^nst Nijjht. At 4 o'clock this morning tho police were to have raided a tramp rendezvous in the brush beyond the north levee, about opposite Seventh street. There is an old building there which a Rang of tramps had taken possession of and from which they have refusod to bo evicted by the owners. The police were expecting a pretty lively experience with tho gang, and the Chief had given orders for the entire day and night force to be on hand. The intention is to either lock up or rid the city of the crow of idlers and crimi nals that now infest it. Quito a Transformation. Tho oflice of Sheriff Stanley has been recently greatly improved. The main room has been set apart for the use of the Tax Collector, and the inner one hand somely fitted np and refurnished as the Sheriff's office. Two small rooms havo been partitioned Off and provided with chairs and tables. One will be used by the Superior Judges in which to examine insane persons, and the other is the Sheriff's private olliee. The ollices arc now such as to elicit compliments from all visitors. Bell's Saturday Sale. Bell Co. will sell at auction on Satur day at 10 a.m., at tho Fountain Stable, .1 street, horses, buggies, wagons, carts, buokboard, and a Jersey cow. Also, 100 bottles of orange "wine, and a largo assortment of household furniture. Hussars' Picnic. On Sunday next tho Sacramento Hus sars will jrivo a picnic at Richmond Grove, admission to which will be fifty cents and ladies free. Thero will be ail sorts of games. Horses at Auction.

That means that the cocktails have arrived." A TALE OF WOE. It "Was tho Uast Infliction That Broke the Tramp's Heart. "Poor man," exclaimed the impulsive, warm-hearted lady, "you look as if you had known some sorrow." "You are right, mum," answered the battered tramp, gracefully accepting tho doughnuts and bowl of fresh milk, "1 have." "May I ask what it is?" "Yes, mum," he said, with his mouth full. "I lost both my parents when 1 was nothing but a small boy." "Had you no lrlenfls*?" "Yes, mum; I had an uncle. I lived with him till I was a good-sized chunk of a boy, and then he died." "And had you no other friends?" "Only an aunt, mum. I went to live with her next. I was very happy at my aunt's till—till—" "Don't speak of it, my poor man, if it awakens painful memories." "It breaks me all up, mum; but there's worse to come. My aunt she "Died?" "No. She was a widow, my aunt was, you know, and she up and married again. Married a mean, stingy, onery cuss of a man. He drove me out of the house be fore he had been there three weeks." "And then?" "And then, mum," said tho dejected traveler, a frightful spasm of pain dis torting his face at the recollection, "I had to go to work IT MADE HIM MAD. An Eastern Swell Uegrlns to Ask For (iilt-Edced J,uxuries. Chancellor L. Jenks, tho millionaire real estate man, has largo interests in Southern California and makes frequent trips to and from the Golden State. Tho last time he went out ho took tho Southern Pacific railway. One morning the train stopped for breakfast at a station in the middle of tho desert. The depot was the only building to bo seen, and the restaurant was next door to the ticket office. The floor walker in charge of the ar rangements was what the Browning Club people call a "dead tough mug." He was in his shirt-sleeves and tobacco juice was sprinkled liberally over his front. Mr. Jenks, who is no longer young, was Buffering from the heat and*hadn't much appetite, and when the girl came to j take his order he said he guessed ho wouldn't have anything but a glass of iced milk. The girl opened her eyes wide, and, beckoning to the iloor-walker, said in an audible undertone: "Say, Jim, his whiskers wants a glass of iced milk." "Iced milk!" he roared; "iced milk!

The Sort of Consolation That Wo Then Seok From Books. That is a serious time of life when you begin to realize that tho man you afo is not tho man you hope to become, but tho man you have shown yourself to be; a definite quantity with precise limitations, and not a gro:it one. Wo all compare our selves at greater or less distances with people in books and in history, says a writer in Seribner't. There la a time when it is a delightful reassurance to l;irn from the lives of Keats, Pitt, Ham ilton, or Henry Clay that we aro not too young to be famous, and that men no older than we have immortalized them selves as poets or as statesmen. Again there comes a time when we go to books lor reassurance of another sort, iind pluck up our fainting hopes as we read how -irant, Sherman, Cromwell and Nathaniel Hawthorne reached our time in life with out distinguishing themselves beyond common, and yet lived to take rank among the immortals. Thero may be hope for uh, wo feel, for all oi our forty odd years. The Glacial Period. The "Glacial Period" is so familiarly Bpoken ot that there is a popular belief that the great Ice Age came on tho north of Europe, lasted for a time, and then disappeared for good. But facts are now accumulating which show that in reality the last glacial period, like some of its predecessors (of which in the early ages of the world's history there aro believed to have been several) was varied by times when the ice disappeared and the climate of the northern hemisphere re sumed its former character. The latest of these discoveries hns just been made in Russia by M. Krischtafo viteh—the bowlder clay west of MOSCOW exhibiting dear evidences of these oscil lations between a state of matters like Chose at present prevailing and that which is now the rule in Greenland. In that country, indeed, we know that the •■'inland ice' advances and retreats, cov ering places which were formerly bare arhl leaving other spots which were cov ered within tlie memory of man, or on which there are distinct evidences of the glacial shroud. It is therefore in the highest degree probable that thero was a warm or interglacial period either local or general over tho whole northern hein isphevp. Highest of all in Leavening Power.—U. S. Gov't Report, Aug. 17, ISB9, ABSOLUTELY PU&& SLEEP AND DREAMS. llow the Visions That Disturb Slumber Come Into Ucine. In order to go with sincerity to the bot tom of things it is necessary to know tho nature of thought, and how it is born and multiplied in tho brain. Unfortu nately, we are hero reduced to compari sons, to approximations. As soon as a sensitive impression reaches tho brain it is immediately received with its recog nized characteristics, and awakens a cer tain number of Ideas which aro attached to it by the relations of casualty, coinci dence, similitude: by the conception of causes, tho foreseeing of effects, tho veri fications of resemblance or of varied affinities. These ideas in their turn arouse others which are bound to them in a similar manner one after the other. Each of these is accompanied by different sentiments, more or l«ss intense, of fear, hope, anger, disgust, desire, etc. Alone and simple at the outset, whore it is born to a state of simple perception of a sensi ble impression, it is extended, modified, sometimes completely transformed, in every case multiplying, but by degrees becoming weaker. After having been several times depressed and raised up again it loses little by little in intensity, according to the measure which ii has gained in extent, utter which il is spent with the energy contained in itself and in coils which it has put in motion. It is rery rare for an idea to thus run its entire course without interruption. Almost always ft new impression is pro duced during the course of tho first, which is not arrested, but only sus pended, and returns later if nothing op poses it. New sensitive impressions are again produced which take, their place, and, in their turn, oppose those which preceded. Each interferes in some way with the others, turning them aside, ar resting or re-enforcing them, according to the meaning of the encounter. Each is compelled to submit, at a given mo ment, to a passing or definite prohibi tion, after which it reawakens as an elas tic substance relieved from that which had compressed it. one understands that while awake, the continual production of new impressions leaves little opportunity to preceding ones to renew their ob structed evolution. Thousands of impressions are thus, every day, relegated almost from the moment of their birth to the domain of oblivion. Only a small number, on ac count of the interest which they have for us, or the vivacity of the sentiment which they awaken, have the power to force themselves upon us, and to monopolize tho attention to the exclusion of the others. When the hour of sleep conies the fatigued brain moves more and more slowly; the sensitive impressions, di minished by the closing of the eye-lids, by the silence of the sleeping-room, are perceived gently, and arouse only con fused ideas.
