!
The California Legislature will assemble i
at noon to-day, and the struggle wbkb is ! *
to decide who shall hold the various J
offices will be entered upon at once. It is i
not at all likely, however, that an organi

lloth parties will hold caucuses this
forenoon to select the persons to be sup- s
ported for tho principal ofllces.
THE SKNATORIAL FIOHT.
Hon. W. W. Foote has withdrawn from
Urn contest for United States Seuator.
Hon. Stephen M. White now thinks ,
that without a doubt he will be elected by j
the thirtieth sessiou of the California
Legislature, successor to Senator Felton. ,
Like a thunderbolt the news that Hon.
W. W. Foote had withdrawn from the i
contest struck Senators, Assemblymen
and buttonholers for oilice who loitered
around in the corridors of the various
hotels yosterday .afternoon. Although
Koote apparently had no chance of elec
tion, it was given out by the managers of '■
hi.s light that he was in it to stay, in |
which event a deadlock would have been
oieatud and a long fight precipitated—its
final result undeterminable. Foote's '
iriends nay that he is too good a Demo
crat to jeopardize the chances of a Demo
crat being elected, and hence by his com- '■
iaendable act relinquishes all personal
ambitions for the success of his party.

The letter withdrawing from the fight
was written to 11. F. Kmeric of Sau

Your friend, W. W.FnorE. |
When seen by a Rkporu-Uxiox re
porter Mr. Foote said he had nothing
turther to say than what his letter of i
withdrawal covered.
Foote's withdrawal has siniplified mat
ters, but whether White will command i
the support of Foote's adherents is not
certain. Some of Foote's friends are de
liant, but alter their little Hurry has sub
sided the Los Angeles statesman hopes
to win their favors.
oomm ox thk people's party.
Of course the Democrats have not a :
clear majority on joint ballot, lacking ]
two. Hut it is said that White carries In '
liis pocket tho pledged support of enough
l'eoplo's party legislators to gratify his ;
ambition. Anyhow. White expresses
himself as thoroughly satisfied with the
present aspect .of affairs, and that after
looking over the situation calmly and j
carefully ho was unable to discover that
any of the attacks upon him had weak
ened a singlti Iriend or adherent.
WILL THEY STAWD TOORTHKB.
From a gentleman who is conversant
with every move of the People's party
ti.e reporter learns that the Democrats
are groundless j u asserting that alter giv
ing Hon. T. V. Cator, the People's party
candidate for Sonator, a complimentary
vote tiiat they will desert and unite with
the Democrats in electing White. "We
will honestly represent the people who
elected us and stand by our choice as lung
as there, is a hope, and thero is hope until
the last ballot has been cast," said he.
'"Of course we cannot do anything by
ourselves, but 1 think if we stand firm
the Republicans will make overtures to
us and we will win tho day."
THE HEPI'BLII ANS
Are not talking a great deal about what
they Intend to do. No one candidate
holds the united support.
TO CAUCUS THIS MORXINO.
To arrange a plan for organization of
the Legislature tho Democratic Assem
blymen will meet in the Assembly
Chamber at i< o'clock this morning.
Tho Kepublicaus will caucus in Su
jireinu Court, Department Two, at 9
o'clock.
Senators of the Democratic persuasion
will convene in the Senate Chamber at
V-.M) o'clock this morning.
The People's party will also hold a
meeting in thoir headquarters at tho
Capital Hotel at. o'clock this morning.
FAUXD TO AiiKKE.
The San Francisco delegation of As
semMynien were in session last night
until 11 o'clock, but failed to agree on a
choice for Speaker of the Assembly. It
is said alter repeated attempts tho delega
tion continued about equally divided lor
the three candidates. As Gould and
Matthews hold nearly all tho country
delegates, it may be said that the light
has narrowed down to them, and that
Shanahan will "not be in it."
WHO WILL NOMINATE WHITE.
It is given out on good authority that
either Gould or Matthews will nominate
Stephen M. White in tho Assembly—
whichever is defeated lor the Speaker.ship.
Senator J. 11. Seawell of Ikiah will do
tho grand in the Senate.
In joint convention Senator George
Goucher of Fresno, it is understood, will
perform the ceremony.
AJfYBODY's fioht.
Who will wield thegavel in the Assem
bly is still a matter of conjecture. But it
looks as though either Matthews or
Gould will be honored. Earlier in tho
contest Shanahan had tho support of
nearly the whole San Francisco delega
tion, on the strength ot profuse promises
to them, it is said, and claims i lint he had
i nough interior votes to secure his olee- j
tion. This country strength he has been
unable to muster and it look.* as though
]>urt of the San rraneiseo delegation will
desert him.
Matthews and F. G. Gould are each
confident of election. They count on
about an e<iual number of votes. If
Shanahan should withdraw and throw
his support to either candidate that one
will be elected. The one of the two who
develops the most strength will certainly j
be elected, sinco tho weaker mau will '
throw his strength in that direction. !
rather than see a third man capture tho
bpeakership.
THE DEMOCRATIC EDITORS.
On account of the adjustment of the
Senatorial contest wherein Foote with
drew, leaving the lield practically clear to
White as the caucus nominee of the
Democratic party, the conference of Dem
ocratic editors of the State, called to meet
in this city to-night, has been indefinitely
postpouod.
NOTES.
There is talk that a committee of Los
Angeles citi/eus will be up to urge an
investigation of the Whittier Keform
School.
lsad.>r Alexander, the well-known
newspaper reporter of this city, has no
opposition lor Minute Clerk of the As
sembly.
It is conceded that George W. Peck
ham will be Chief Clerk of the Assembly.
He was Secretary of the Senate during
the twenty-eighth session.
A delegation from Madera arc up to
fight for the division ot Fresno County.
Prentice Maslin desires the position of
Secretary of the Legislative Committee
on W ays and Means. Mr. Maslin was
for many years Secretary of the State
ISosrd of Examiners.
Congressman Majraire is expected to
arrire to-day. He is a strong advocate
of .-tcpiien M. White for Senator.
Chief Clerk Mason of the last Assembly
will pursue the same course as Ed E.
Lealce of the twenty-eighth session by
employing only those who are necessary
for the organization of the Assembly.
This will be sorrowful news to many
who held '-soft" positions and who ex
pected to got a week's wages doing noth
ing.
Frank Brandon and Marcus D. Boruck
are running rather closely for Secretary
of the Senate, with chances of election in
favor of the former.
Tom Rodgers, Sergeant-at-Arms of Iho
last Senate, will probably be so again. F.
Hussey of Alamoda and a Mr. Smith of
San Francisco have bobbed up for tho
same position.
For Assistant Secretary of the Senate
there is a full quota of applicants, includ
ing John Kice, Ed J. Smith, E. B. Beaton
and It. L. Thomas of San Francisco, W.
A. Bowen of Ventura, J. L. Bolton and
C. P. Everts of Oakland, C. S. Everett of
Alameda and Rhode Shaw of San lienito.
The following are mentioned for Min
ute Clerk of the Senate : George Byron
of Sauta Clara, Joel A. Peiiniu of San
Francisco, Kay Falk and Thomas Atkin
son of San Francisco, C. S. Mullen of
Alameda, George McAdoo of Butte and
Thomas Kodeers of Kern.
A son of Senator Campbell of Siskiyou
would like to bean Enrolling Clerk.
Miss Mcllugh of Oakland and Miss
Julia Barnes are the latest aspirants for
Postmistress.
Ex-Assemblyman M. Coffey and J. H.
Harney of San Francisco and a son of
Senator Ka^sdale of Sonoma will accept
Engrossing Clerkship if it is offered to
them.
F. C. Chapman of San Francisco wants
to be Journal Clerk. A. Fonterose of
Amador is also buttonholing for the same
position.
Carl lirowno, the caricaturist, who was
a delegate to the People's Party National
Convention, Is about as usual, "clad in his
buckskin suit.
Fred J. Francis of San Francisco wants
to be gatekeeper of the Senate.
John L. Sullivan, a Sacramento boy,
will doubtless be mail carrier of the As
sembly.
Seuator Carpenter of Los Angeles ar
rived last night. He has been on an
Kastern tour.

AMUSEMENTS.
Tho New York Stock Company closed
their first week at the Clunie Opera-house
last evening. Tho business throughout
the week Is reported to have been highly
satisfactory, better than Mr. Dailey
anticipated, but not larger than the
organization is justified in receiving, as
the company is evenly balanced and con
tains exceptional moriteven in the minor
roles. The success of the troupe prom
ises to continue. Its establishment here
removes si complaint of business men,
that thero has not been a nightly dramatic
entertainment for the accommodation of
their visiting customers. Commencing
to-night the bailey Company will preseut
the rollicking comedy, ".Summer Hoard
ers," with a cast augmented by
the addition of Miss Mai Wells. The
play is an extravagant picture
of life in a fashionable boarding-house,
and introduces a number of eccentric
characters seen in everday life. The com
plications are numerous and intricate
and the comedy work continuous. Each
member of the company has a congenial
part, and the performance should, there
lore, be highly enjoyable. A noticeable
thing about the Opera-house entertain
ments is the attendance, gradually in
creasing, of the old-time critical, we may
say exacting patrous of the drama, a
testimonial to the merit of the perform
ance.
At the Metropolitan Theater this even
ing, Turner's English Girls' Gaity aud
Vaudeville Company. The "paper"
posted indicates that it is a show of the
"strip" order. On Saturday quotation
was made from the Minneapolis Tribune,
warmly commending the troupe. Seattle
and Victoria papers, however, have since
been quoted condemning it, and one goes
ao far as to pronounce some of the feat
ures indecent.
POLITICS VS. BUSINESS.
Public Kmployment Not Good for
Young Men.
[Colusa Suu,.December 27th.]
The Sacramento Kecoku-Union, in
speaking of the late K. 11. Miller, Jr.,
Secretary and one of the Directors almost
since the beginning of the Central facific
Company, said that he had never sought
political preferment. This was slightly
wrong. We remember Mr. Miller tellinsr
us once that he had just been defeated for
County Clerk of Sacramento County
when ho took the position ho held to his
death. We do uot remember whether it
was for a nomination or at the polls, but
we were talking about tho desirability of
private over public employment for
youug men. lie remarked that if he had
then been successful, he would probably
at that time be standing on a street cor
ner seeking suffrage of some bummer.
It is a mistake for young men to rush
into politics. One term begets a desire
for another, and soon it becomes a de
pendence. It is said that men grow up
in the service of great moneyed powers,
and that they know nothing else—that
they fall into grooves in private as well
as in public employment. But in this he
is not always on tho ragged edge. It is
tho rule of almost all employers to keep
their help as long as they are faithful and
true. Uoth sides are conscious of the fact
that obligations are paid, or that none
exist.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A BRILLIANT AFFAIR.
The Club Ideal's Leap-Year Party on
Saturday Night.
One of the Social Events of tho Sea
son — The Gentlemen Play the
Part of Wall Flowers.
On New Year's Eve Turner Hall was
the scene of a brilliant party given by
the "Club Ideal." The hall never looked
prettier, and the very large company of
people present were profuse in their
praises for the delightful time they spent.
At 9:15, when the grand inarch proceeded,
two pretty little tots, with sweet, smiling
faces, and dressed in lily white, with
baskets in their hands, distributed the
programmes in a nay that was pleasing
and delightful to see.
The decorations iv yellow and gold, by
Coyne, were exceedingly beautiful.
Above the music stand, which was
nearly buried in ferus and palms, iv
large gold letters the word "Ideal" shone
prominently among the dazzling beauty
of the entire scene. Beneath hung a red
banner, wishing all a happy Now Year.
There were elegant and costly dresses
in great variety and prolusion, the
bright electric lights softened by frosted
globes, showing them to line advantage.
The ladies claimed all the honors of the
evening, and when a gentleman stepped
upon the dancing lioor his authority
ceased and tho ladies assumed command.
They conducted tho party in strict leap
year style, no gentleman being allowed
to offer himself for a dance or cross the
floor unattended by a lady.
On either side of tho room elegant set
tees, sofas, rockers and mirrors were ar
ranged with a comforting appearance.
The whole was an immense success and a
picture of beauty. All the guests danced
merrily while tho old year died out and
the new year came iv smiling and happy.
While down stairs the lemonade booth
was dispensing its dainty quail', tho gal
lery was being got in readiness for coffee,
which was served at 11 o'clock.
The music by tho orchestra was excel
lent, and the souvenir dance programmes
were unique and contained a list of at
tractive dancus aud a number of special
leap-year rules. The ladies who had
charge of the affair were as follows:
Floor Director, Mrs. J. H, Heitman.

LEGATE OR NUNCIO.
Monslsnor Cupel's Views on the
Subject.
Monsignor T. Capel has tho following
in the Western WitneM of tho Ulst of Do
com\>er:
Since our last issue the official report of
tho minutes of the Archbishops signed by
Bishop Chapelle appoars iv the ( 'ntholic
Newa of New York. Therein we road:
"Monsignor Satolli went on to say that
he had been charged, moreover, by Leo
Kill. to inform the .Metropolitans" that,
as it has been customary with the Holy
See to appoint apostolic delegates t o re _
side permanently in countries where tho
hierarchy is well established and religion
is nourishing, whenever not confronted
by too serious difficulties, for the purpose
of expediting matters of church govern
ment and as a bond of union between
those countries and the Holy See, it waa
the Pope's heartfelt desire that now a
permanent apostolic delegation should bo
established in the United States with tho
concurrence of the Most Reverend Arch
bishops. .
* • ♦ 0
"Monsignor Satolli withdrew after re
minding the prelates to give their opin
ion freely concerning the establishment
of a permanent apostolic delegation iv
this country.
"Iho question was immediately taken
up for consideration, and Was decided that
the Metropolitans did not feel warranted
in taking any action in so important a
matter until tuey had taken counsel with
i their sutiia^ans, iv view of serious dilli
. cullies connected with the subject. Tha
apostolic delegate was informed accord
ingly. An adjournment was then or
dered."
Little did we imagine when writing our
: last arlicU on this subject, that this pre-
The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum.
Used in Millions of Homes —40 Years the Standard
ciousgirt had been offered to the church
in the Lnited States. Tho Pope in the
exercise of his office and in the govern
ment ot the church is guided by an intel
ligence more than human. To "this has to
lie added in the case of Leo XIII. singu
larly exceptional experience and far-see
ing diplomacy. It is his heartfelt desire
that a permauent apostolic delegation be
established. Such wish so expressed
will, the Holy Father knows, be joyfully
and eagerly complied with. But that the
gilt should be more willingly accepted,
the Metropolitans are invited froely to
give their opinion, so that all may be
done with their concurrence. The most
reverent Archbishops in turn wish to
take counsel in this matter with their
Sultragau Bishops.
Who, knowingthodevotionof Catholics
in the States to the Holy Sea, can doubt
the issue? We venture to predict that our
thirteen Archbishops and the eighty
Bishops will, without a dissenting voice,
receive tho proffered gift with hearty ac
clamation.
lhe Columbian year will indeed go
down to posterity as great in the annals
of the history of the church in the United
States when this keystone of strength and
unity has been added to our ecclesiastical
organization. The hierarchy divinely
constituted consists of Pope, Bishops,
priests and ministers. But lor the better
government of the church and a more
ethcient exercise of its jurisdiction. Le
gates, Cardinals, Patriarchs and Metro
politans have been called into existence
as tho needs of the church demanded.
1 >ur Bishops and priests are in our midst.
Our organization has its Metropolitan
Archbishops, aud now wo are to have our
Papal Delegate to crown the whole struct
ure "for the purpose of expediting mat
ters of church government and as a bond
of union with the Holy See." By a sin
gular providence the consummation of
this longed-for boon cannot be interfered
with or be retarded by tho Government
of the country. In hands of the Bishops
and not in the State has the heartfelt do
sire of tho Holy Father been placed.

age the others. I have had a debate with
1 a scholar as to the justice of the statement
lof the French satirist. What do you
think of it. Cll. L. I)., Sacramento.
That Voltaire was more sarcastic than
correct. The truth is that Admiral Byng
was executed for not doing the impossi- \
I ble at Minorca, not to stimulate other
I commanders, but to divert attention from !
I the miserable blundering of the English |
Ministry which crippled his efforts. The i
; French lleet was greatly superior to his,
but the Ministry charged him with
I cowardice in order to lix odium upon
I him which properly attached to them. I
i English historians do not disagree about i
tuUwho have given the subject impar-j

Eds. Record-Union : Is it accepted ;
by scholars that seven is a mystical nuni- j
ber? I have seen it stated that it is used
in the Bible as a mystical number.
Ithamak, Chico.
There is nothing in it. Scholars bolieve
in 110 such thing as mystical numbers.
■ Such beliefs are simply the outgrowth of
! gross superstition. It is true that thero j
j are seven days iv the week, that every !

seven times seven ushered in the jubilee.
j That the Bible tells of seven altars, seven
. green withes, seven troubles, and so on.
Jiut that there is any mystical value to tho
1 fact is absurd. The Greeks, Persians,

Something About Gloves.
Four-button Kid Gloves are the popular
cjloves for wear this season. Although our
stock of them has been very heavy, we have
been compelled to replenish it" continually to
keep it up to the proper standard.
A fine, thin Kid, in English reds and terra eotta, the most
popular shades; pretty to wear with a gown of any
color. They can be had with self-stitching or with
black stitching.
In the same Glove we can furnish you with greens and
navy blues, the two leading shades of dress goods this
season. They come at the popular price, $1 23 a pair.
Large pearl buttons are taking the place of small metal
ones and are very nobby. The mode shades with
black stitching and binding and pearl buttons, in a
Dressed Kid, are pretty for street or theater wear.
Price, $1 80 a pair.
Yellow Gloves are both pretty and stylish. Th-ey are
toned with black stitching and buttons, and come in
shades from a lemon to a deep orange.
"We also have Navy Blues, with white, black or self
stitching; just the thing for a navy dress.
The Derby Glove, a heavy kid with large bone buttons, is
still a leader. They give excellent wear. We have
them in English reds, tans, browns, grays and black.
All at $1 8O per pair.
The Mousquetaire style of Gloves, in eight-button length,
is still being called for. In an Undressed Kid we have
all the leading shades, tan, mode, gray, brown and
black, in a very fine quality—one that will give good
wear—at $1 BO a pair.
In the same, style Glove in Dressed Kid we can give you
even better value for the same money. It is a real
kid, well made and good fitting glove. As good a
glove cannot be had elsewhere for anything like our
price. We have all the staple shades, as well as
fancies, greens, reds and navies.

A RARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for $1O
to $2O per Acre.
The Pacific Improvement Company has rs
eently purchased twelve thousand icres of
land In the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settle
ment. This land embraces lands from tlrat
clasa Sacramento Valley agricultural land, to
land of fair average quality, and is offered at
from $10 to #20 uer acre, in subdivisions ol
40, SO, 120, 160 and 3^o acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment of Interest only for tluree years, at whlca
time the purchaser can begin the payment ot
principal by ray'utf the first of flvi.- equal an
nual Installments. Thus no part of the prin
j cipal is tc be raid for three years, and then
i the purchaser is to have five years iv which to
i pay five equal annual Installments, with ln
! terest at tbe rate of 7 per cent, per annum,
! making payments extending over a period ol
, eight years. Intending purchasers are as
j sured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at 510 per acre,
j and good agricultural land at $20 au acrs,
with other grades of land at prices to corre
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
i lands, suitable for general farming, and es
pecially adapted for fruit-growing, cannot be
j had in California for less thtui from $60 to
| (100 an acre. An examination of the land
! subject of this advertisement will prove to
I nome-seekers that this is an opportunity for
I the purchase of good agricultural land at 930
: an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
I agricultural land at 810 an acre, on terms of
! payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers a result easy ol
accomplishment.
The primary object of the purchase of this
body of laud was tbe breaking up of a large
holding for the purpos« of promoting Its set
j tlement in smaller quantities and its devotion
j to diligent husbandry.
