PROPOSED ANNEXATION.
I
A Joint Meeting of Citizens of Wash
ington and Sacramento.
Speeches About the Project to An
nex the Town Across
the River.
There was a large meeting over in i
ogton last night for the purpose of j
discussing tho proposed scheme to annex
that town to Sacramento County.
The meeting took place at Churchill's ,
Hall and was presided over by G. A.
Mofiett. a committee of Sacrameutans,
consisting of David Lubin, Frank Miller, ;
\\\ D, i.awton, "\v. F. Peterson, in-. (..

needed—and still the heavy city taxes |

capitalists subscribe for an industry

men. No lefimte plans had been ag
upon, I>iu the speaker's idea would be, |
after annexation, for the citizens of tiac
ramentoand Washington to make up a)
fund and purchase some tracts of land in
Washington, the purpose I eing to give it ■,
to anybody who would build and oper
aie a facin'iy thereon. This, in connec
tion with the reduced taxes, would be in
ducement enough for anybody. He
hoped the people of Washington would!
nee the good that would come to them in
the way of building up their town and |
enhancing the value of their property,
and help tii" project along.
Mr. Miller addressed the meeting next, j
He sai.l the people of Washington should |
not run away with the idea that Sacra
mentana had all become good Samaritans
and were dying to do Borne wonders lor
Washington for nothing. That wa
the case. It was simply a business
proposition, which if carried out would
greatly benefit .Sacramento, and would
also have to beneiit the people of Wash
ington. That was all there was to :t. and
ii was a case where Doth should pull to
gether. The people of Washington had
logo to .Sacramento for their necessities
and luxuries, and they were practically
•Sacrament.ms now. The town should
have been included in Sacramento
County long ago, he thought. I here was
land in Washington now that was prac
tically worthless, but if several factories
were locatl d there, doubling tho popula
tion, there would be a demand for this
property and it would bavea value.
Dr. Simmons, Messrs. I.awton, Curtis
and Peterson spoke briefly in about the
same vein as the other Sacramentans.
Then the Washington folks were given :
a chance to talk. They did, and itdevel
oped that a good many ol them are lock- '
Ing at the proposition with half an eye j
and apparently are on the gut nn' for a
"joker." Mr. liuckingham headed the
list of opponents and made a unique
speech, tie said the whole thing looked
nice, but he could not see where the
"niggeron the fence" was. He could not
understand this sudden good feeling on
the part of tin- Saeramentanß. Every
'■■inter the Voloiies had to patrol their
levei s with shotguns to keep the despe
radoes from Sacramento from cutting the !
embankments, lint now, all of a sud- ]
lien, these desperadoes wanted to do
holm thing nice lor them.
"We don't ask no odds of you," he
Kaid. warming up as he progressed. "We
folks over hero in Washington are the
ndependent sons o' guns on earth, I
we are. You talk about worthless lots
over here. -lust come aud try to buy
some of 'em, and you'll have to go down
in your jeans. I'd like to m 0 the town
po ahead you can't boom it too strong
lor me Imt Lei us stay the way we are.
It don't make any difference what county
in. if you want to boom us. We
are pretty good people over here, and we
>'.re !iot kicking about our condition."
Thomas Harrison said he had been en
lightened considerably by the Sacra
committee, and he was satisfied
thai the motives behind tho scheme were
good ones. He was satisfied tiiat, while
Sacramento was looking after herself in
the matter, Washington would have to
be benefited.
Captain W. M. Jenks made a strong
Speech in favor of the scheme, and then a
general discussion was indulged in, the
hacraniontans replying in a spirited way
to some of the objections to the project.
At the conclusion of the talk it was ap
parent that the Washington people had
begun to realize that the project was yoing
to be beneficial to them. (me of them
moved that they appoint a committee
shortly to confer with a like committee
from Sacramento with the view of agree
ing upon a plan of action and reporting
us soon as practicable to tho citizens of
both cities. The meeting then adjourned. ]

There was a happy gathering on Mon

the pn ttj country home of Mr. and Mrs.

"evei ■•■ ody" was there.
An orchestra furnished music for those
who desired to dance, and singing, games j
and other amusements were not found
wantiug. At 11 o'clock a bountiful c la
t.on was served by Jira, Davis such as
can lie prepared only by a thriving
farmer-wife. Tho Jio'st and hosts
fully entitled to all the praise they le
ceived from the assemblage present.
After several years of hard work and
nanagement, although classed with
the young folks of the community, they '
have successfully brought their farm '
from a i arren tract to its present condition '
—that of an earthly paradise, with the new
and all its modern improvements.
Nothing is lacking to satisfy the ambi

light before the gay thn ng bad departed,
and all went away pleased with their ,
host and hostess, and with an a; precia
tion of what can be accomplished by
thrift, prudence and good taste; and last,
but not least, satisfied to know that lour
little children are to share the home
erected as a monument to their parents' !

AMUSEMENTS.
The Sacramento Choral Society will
give the last concert of its lirst season to
ulghtat 8 o'clock, at the Metropolitan
Theater. This, the third performance of j
our local amateur society, promises to bo
a popular success. The programme is i
composed of twelve operatic selections,
all of them tuneful und bright and, i esl
of all. well-known. The Italian, Gc-r- !
man, French and English schools of op- '•
era will be represented, and such favorite !
numbers as "Home to our Mountains,"
the ".March" from Tannhanser, the
quintet from ".Martha," "Hail Is, Ye
Free," "Ever be Happy," will be given
by a full chorus of a hundred voices and
accompanied by a fine orchestra of four
teen pieces. The deservedly popular
contralto, Mrs. Robert Haw ley, will be
heard in a solo from "Donna Caritea," !
and K. T. Colin will sing "When Other
Lips." The orchestra has two numbers,
one from ".Martha," and the other the
overture to "Katinitza." Altogether, the
programme is arranged with a view of
pleasing a popular audience, and there is
little doubt but that a brilliant success
will be scored. The sale of seats con- |
tinues to promise a full house, and a large
attendance will assuredly be present.
The Knights of Pythias of this city will
shortly present - "Damon and Pythias"
with a local cast of characters iv addition to
Mrs. Katie Laurie as Calanthe, it. E. Hop
kins of Woodland as Damon, and little
siiva Laurie as. the child. The entire
production \fiil be under the direction of
the experienced actor E. S. i. auric!, at
present disabled through accident. The
Woodland I>< mocrai Bpeakf as follows of
a recent performance there of this play:
"Mrs. l,aurje, in the character ol Calan
the, the promised bride of Pythias, estab
lished herself as a warm favorite with the
audience. She is an accomplished actress,
dresses with good taste, is easy and grace
ful iv all her stage situations, and invests
her impersonations with a linish that can !
only be acquired by experience.
"JR. K. Hopkins sustained the character I'
of Damon, and it is one of the highest
compliments we can pay him to say that
it is probable that the play would have
achieved no^reacer success if Mr. Laurie
had been able to assume the role himself.
Mr. Hopkins lias a line Btage present c, a
magniiieent voice, which lie Knows how
to use with the best possible dramatic ef- i
feet, and his splendid physique admirably
adapted him to the impersonation of a
character that is generally accepted as the
embodiment of Senatorial dignity and
eloquence.
"Little Bilva Laurie, as the child of J)a
--: moil and liurtnion. was one 01 the most
• : elf-composed characters on the stage.
Everybody carried away pleasant recol
lections of her childish grace and sweet '
simplicity."
On the evening of Thursday, the 21th
(Thanksgiving Day), the annual festival
of the Sisters of Mercy will take place at
Turner Hall. .Music for the occasion will
be furnished by Fisch, Jones & Watson's
orchestra.
Dinuer will be served by ladies at the

KNIGHTS OF THE TRIGGER.
Policemen Who "fpiii I'rotty Strong
Yarns About Their shooting.
otiicers Frank Rider and George Naghel
are probably the most enthusiastic sports- ;
in mi on the police force, and when the '
former reports nightly at the police '
station about midnight to reliove his
brother offioet long enough for the latter
to go to luncb, these worthleß frequently
spin a yarn or two about their experience
with wild ducks on the marshes.
Whenever Hi lireor, the commander of
the jag unbalance, happens to be about,
both Kiderand Naghel let out a low pegs
and tell the most improbable stories of
their past exploits.
Now, Grecr liaa been something of a
hunter himself, and whin Kider and
Nagnel get to drawing the long bow in
the manner indicated it excites him.
Last night one of those bastile duck-lying
contests took plaeo. and when Rider and '
Naehel had exhausted stocks of stories
Greer got the floor, llis blood was up,
and it is said that the way he reeled oil"
shooting stories was a caution. What ho
said is toid by Naghel, as follows, which
be says be took down in writing for the
purpose of making Greer swear to it be
fore a notary, lie apparently intended it
for tliH press, for the heading and all is
his own:
Tin: boss j.:ar.
"Iliram Greer's history as a hunter—
One day in the year '(ij, ho says, he and his
partner killed I,'M) ducks'. They shot
away two sacks of shot and ten pounds ot
powder, and it wasn't a good day for
ducks, either.
"A remarkable day for blackbirds—He
killed ninety at one shot, and can prove
it by his father. O.reer says the wind
blew very hard, or he would have killed
more.
"i m one of his trips to the mountains
he killed a fawn weighing eighty pounds.
lie says deer were as thick as blackbirds.
ile says he and his two partners killed a
black bear weighing l.iiou pounds, and
says he can bring proof for it. They
strapped two mules together and brought
him into camp and sold him to China
men.
"They also killed nine dozen jack
snipe down on the marshes in the spring,
after the first, rain, and 200 jackrabbits ill
live hours, he says, was nothing.
"He told this story to itider and
Naghel."
The Connor Divorce Case.

Have a Grindstone.
A good grindstone thai runs true is a
necessity on every Farm. 1 lace it under
shelter and wearii out as soon as possi
ble by keeping ali edged tools, usually
sharpened with it. in a good workman
like condition. When mowing or reap
ing the knives often become dull ere it is
time to turn out: if you have a ] .
coarse whetstone in the machine l»>x
they are soon made quite sharp, or at
ilie cnttinc edge roughened up as
wellaa sharp ned. A sharp hie answers
a similar purpose, but if carried in the
machine box should be wrappe 1 in cloth
to prevent k i mining, or useless wear
against other iron tools. Teach the boys
to keep all edged tools in good condition,
aud never allow the hired man to go to
the iii id with a dull ax, hoc, scythe or
other c Igfld tool, and insist upon the
■ icing ground at a uniform level.
Remember that sharp tools mean less ume
and arduous labor for man or beast.
