APPRECIATIVE PRINTERS.
They Attest Their Friendship for
State Controller Coigan.
Controller Coigan did not expect it.
He thought it was meant for Eugene
Hadley, but it wasn't, and as a con
sequence he was cornered and caned
by the employes of the State Printing
Office yesterday morning.
Indeed, it was hardly a fair deal.
Mr. Colgas's Deputy, Major Douglas,
stood in, and it nvas partially through
his efforts at deception that the vet- ■
eran was caught. The Major confided I
to the Controller that the employes of
the Printing Office were going to do
something awful to Mr. Hadley, and
suggested that they go over and see
the fun. They went over.
The employes of the big office were
drawn up in line when the Controller
entered, and he suggested that the
camera fiend was losing the chance
of his life. But he got no further. He
was held up by General Foreman Har-'
ry Rogers and was made to listen to
a neat, crisp presentation speech,
which was followed by a beautiful gold
handled ebony cane, which Mr. Rogers
assured him was given by the employes
as a token of their esteem. Those
present assert that the Controller
blushed.
Timekeeper Talbot H. Wallis fol
lowed Mr. Rogers, and told Controller
Coigan that the employes appreciated
his kindness to them in making it pos
sible to obtain their warrants without
delay, thereby insuring their pay
with practically no delay.
Then Controller Coigan got the cane.
Its crook is composed of finely-chased
gold, and on the plate on one side is
Inscribed the following:
"Presented to Hon. E. P. Coigan,
State Controller, by Employes of the
State Printing Office, November 16,
1898."
Mr. Colgam thanked the employes.
He told them he had been a working
man himself and knew what it meant
to have money he had labored for
withheld after it was due. He also
told them that he had made several
political campaigns, but never made a
speech in his life, which might account
for his success. All the time he was
making an attempt that smacked of
oratory, and when he finally concluded
he was warmly applauded.
AMUSEMENTS.
The Sam T. Shaw Company returns
to the Orpheum to-morrow evening for
a three nights' engagement. Friday
and Saturday evenings the comedy
"Love in Law," Saturday matinee and
Sunday evening "Pink Dominoes." Pop
ular prices will prevail.
At the Orpheum last night Gorton's
minstrel and variety company appear
ed. There' are nineteen members of
the troupe, sixteen of whom appear In
the first part and six of these are in black
face and flve furnish the first orches
tral accompaniment, which is a novelty,
in that the instruments are brass, no
reed, or string being used, but French
horns, a tuba, a cornet and euphonium.
The combination is used as a light sup
port, mellow, rich and played with high
skill and managed at times to closely
resemble the tones of a pipe organ.
The entertainment, as a minstrel show,
would not satisfy those who have been
accustomed to the modern grossly ex
travagant caricature of original negro
minstrelsy, for there was in it no buf
foonery nor gross burlesque of the plan
tation negro, out of whose evening rev
els minstrelsy of the stage grew. The
strength of the Gorton company resides
in its musical equipment. It has three
fine vocal soloists, three excellent in
strumental soloists and a quartet that
meets popular taste. In fact, this male
quartet is one of marked excellence.
Not that its members are phenomenal
singers, but the combination is very
artful, and adroitly adapts itself to
popular demand, Mr. Gorton, Jr., is
superior as a euphonium soloist, and
good in trombone and clarionet solos;
De Witt Cooke is a very clever expert
club swinger; the brothers Elliott are
graceful and genteel dancers with
songs, and Mullen and Vondes two of
the best grotesque athletes we have
had here. Some of their exercises were
wholly rew, none were weak and some
elicited a deserved storm of applause.
Mr. Sparks is fairly good as a low co
median, and Hank Goodman and
George Mullen as end men, while not
creating any marked impression, were
successful in much merry making.
There is a quartet of excellent clog and
fancy dancers, and one, Eugene Elliott,
Is a master, "clogist." The band or
chestration was novel, but very pleas
ing. All in all, the Gortons give a
clean, genteel and pleasing entertain
ment, without pretentious effort or sen
sational effects. *
Divorce Granted.
Judge Johnson yesterday granted
Nellie McGraw a divorce from Edward
McGraw, with custody of the minor
child and leave to resume her maiden
name of Nellie Cronan. The defendant
was ordered to pay $10 a month for the
support of the child and §50 attorney's
fees and costs.

Constipation is the father of all manner
of maladies. If it did not exist, or was in
all cases promptly relieved, the majority of
medical books could be safely destroyed.
It is the easiest sickness to neglect and the
simplest to cure. Dr. Pierces Pleasant

RAILWAY EMPLOYES CLUB.
on Its Good Work.
The Railway Employes* Political Club
of Sacramento me* last evening.
The various committees submitted
their fiscal reports, which showed that
none of the members appointed to serve
on committees had neglected their
duty.
The club* took up business relating
to the good of the club, and several of
the members made remarks on the
growth of the organization, the faithful
and harmonious manner in which the
members had worked together, and the
magnificent results which their efforts
had produced. It was the general
opinion of all who spoke that the club
is on a good and substantial footing,
and that its showing in the late elec
tion is strong evidence that some of the
objects for which it organized had been
accomplished.
A vote of thanks was .extended to all
officers of the club for their faithful
and efficient services during their
terms of office. The following resolu
tion of thanks was also adopted:
"Whereas, Our honorable President
and Secretary, Messrs. E. L. Reguin
and T. N. Heffron, have labored hard
and faithfully without any recom
pense, or expectation of recompense,
for the success of this club, and that
for the successful manner in which
they conducted the campaign, electing
the major portion of our ticket, be it
"Resolved, That we, the members of
the Railway Employes' Political Club
of Sacramento, extend to these officers
our sincere thanks, and that the same
be spread upon the minutes of the
club."
Messrs. Reguin and Heffron ex
pressed their appreciation for the
club's gratitude, but declined to accept
any more credit for what the club had
accompllsl ed hy its gallant victory
than the other individual members.
They were both liberally applauded.
At 10 o'clock the club adjourned, to
be called together at the pleasure of
the President.

THE RECORD-UNION, SACRAMENTO, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 17, 1898.
TAPPED A TILL.
Two Youngsters Who Need to Be
Restrained.
Johnny Stone and Chester Sweet, the
infantile crooks, are again in limbo.
They were locked up yesterday by Of
ficers Hardy and Naghel on suspicion
of having tapped the till of a K-street
tamale house to the tune of $1.50.
The officers say the shavers admitted
having taken the money, and also said
they had attempted to rifle the cash
box of a Third-street bakery, but that
it was too strong for them.
Though both boys are under 11 years
of age, they are first-class incorrigibles.
About six weeks ago they were in jail
for thieving, and admitted having made
raids on a half dozen stores in town.
Sweet's parents at the time of his ar
rest yesterday had everything in readi
ness to send him to a ranch twenty
miles from nowhere, in order to get
him out of the way of temptation. It
is probable that both youngsters will
be committed to a reformatory—prob
ably the Preston School of Industry at
lone.

A DOUBLE SENTENCE.
Why Elmore Golden Wants to Get
Out of Prison.
Judge Hart yesterday issued a writ
of habeas corpus on the application
of H. G. Soule, attorney for Elmore
Golden, returnable on Friday. Golden
is at present a sojourner in the Folsom
Prison, whither he was sent from Tu
lare County in September, 1595.
In his petition the prisoner sets forth
that he was sentenced to four years
for burglary in the second degree, also
for two years for injuring a jail build
ing. He claims that he has served the
time for which he could legally be
held, and therefore wants his dis
charge.

The Supervisors yesterday completed
the canvass of the vote cast in the
Third Supervisor District, and have yet
the Fourth and Fifth Districts to can

INJURED INTERNALLY.
Accident to an Employe of the
Street Car Company.
Frank Nichols, an employe of the
Sacramento Electric, Gas and Railway
Company, was seriously injured at the
carhouse on Twenty-eighth street yes
terday morning.
Nichols and several other men were
pushing a car from the carpenter shop
into the carhouse, and in attempting
to w r alk around the car Nichols was
caught between it and a post at one
side. His body, acting as a buffer,
stopped the car.
He was taken to his home near
Fourteenth and Q streets, and a physi
cian called. The latter declined to
venture an opinion as to the extent
of the patient's injuries, which are in
ternal.
Bill Nye's Hit.
James Whitcomb Riley tells a quaint
story of his former lecturing partner,
Bill Nye:
It was the opening of their Joint sea
son; they had both been rusticating
during the vacation, and were both
brown as berries. Nye looked much like
an Othello in his sunburned make-up,
and Riley suggested to him the appli
cation of some "liquid white," a cos
metic much affected by the gentler sex
of the profession.
Nye sent for the preparation, and
never having used anything of the kind
before, he filled the palm of his hand
with it and carelessly smeared it over
his countenance. There w r as no mirror
in his very primitive dressing-room,
and Riley was beautifying himself oti
the other side of the stage.
The "liquid white" dries out some
what like whitewash, and w r hen Nye
appeared before the audience he was
a sight to behold. His head looked like
a frosted top-piece on a wedding cake;
his face, white as the driven snow, W8 t s
expressionless and blank. The audi
ence shrieked, and when he came off
from his first selection they demanded
his reappearance. He obliged them to
howls of laughter; again he made his
exit, and again was redemanded by the
uproarious audience.
Believing he had made a hit, he was
about returning to the stage, when he
was caught by the arm by Mrs. Nye,
who cried: "William Edgar Nye, what
have you got on your face?"
"Nothing but its usual expression, my
dear."
"Expression—fiddlesticks! You're a
fright," cried his wife, and leading him
to where there was a piece of broken
looking glass, showed him how he
locked.
Nye was mortiified, and, catching
sight of Riley just about going on the
stage, he would have undoubtedly fol
lowed him on and been revenged but
for the intervention of Mrs. Nye.
His head was scraped, combed and
washed, and his next selection was read
without "a hand" from the audience.
Moreover, the story is a fact, and not
a press agent's concoction.—Detroit
Free Press.
Getting Even.
Down at Atlantic City, so a girl fresh
from there tells me, there is a Wash
ington family, the maternal head of
which is locally famed for her thrift,
Her young son one day at dinner de
clined the waiter's offer of a Becond dish
of ice cream
"Take it," said the mother.
"I don't want it," said the boy.
"Take it, I say," persisted the
mother.
"I don't want it," yelled the boy in a
tone that suggested the prompting of
a maternal pinch.
"You take that ice cream," com
manded the mother in a stage whisper.
"Your father's paying $15 a week for
your board, and I won't have you tak
ing only one dish of cream. Take it, I
say."—Washington Post.
An Inexcusable Omission.
"Josiah," said Mrs. Chugwater, look
ing at him over her glassesi, "why don't
the newspapers print the whole of the
President's message?"
"What's the matter now?" inquired
Mr. Chugwater, bracing himself.
"Why, this paper says: 'The full
text of the message will be found be
low,' and then it goes ahead and prints
the message without giving the text at
all. It's got so you just can't put any
dependence in the papers at all."
And Mr. Chugwater simply groaned.

LYNCHING DIFFICULTIES.
Not Always Easy to Find a Tree on
the Prairies.
A blue-shirted cavalcade came riding
over the Nebraska prairie toward Hart
Hender's shack, which was like a dot of
brown on a measureless field of gray.
Hart Renders watched with interest
and) finally announced to his wife that
the man in front was Jim Mullet and
that somebody was tied to one of the
horses.
Jim Mullet rode out In front of the
others, who approached in* a more leis
urely fashion, as though their mounts
were about exhausted.
"Howdy, Hart!" he cried. "We
wanter borry yer wagon tongue."
"Busted it on the way to Gridlev
las' week," said Hart "Left the wagon
there. Howdy."
"Howdy. Pretty well, consdderin'.
Mebbe you've got a two-by-four scant
lin'?"
"Where in thunder'd a man git a
two-by-four out in the heart of a per
ary without even a tree in eighty mile?
Howdy, Jim, anyway?"
"Right good. We're goln' to hang
Kirk, you know. Shot a hole into
Miggs an/ crippled Sandy Wallace. We
ben ravagln' all over this county look
in' fer a tree an' can't find one. The
boys got kinder tired an' allowed if
they could git a wagon tongue or a
beam they'd hang him down yer well.
Not so's he'd reach the water, you
know. We'd be polite and keerful about
any little thing like that. Didn't
wanter drown him; don't wanter shoot
him. Wanter hang him. We've laid
out to do it for the moral effect. Noth
in' but hangln' '11 do. Mebbe you've
got a bedstid that could be pulled apart
soS the sides would make a good thing
to go across the top of a well?"
"No. The tick is set on two dry
goods boxes. Table leg wouldn't do,
would it?"
"Too short. Well, I'm glad to 'a'
seen you, anyway, Hart. Howdy. We'll
go on up to Blue Crossin'. It's only
eighteen miles, an' they uset to be a
cottonwood there by the eriek —If it
ain't been blowed over. Ellis says he
heerdi somethin' about it bein' throwed
down las' cyclone. Well, Howdy, Hart.
I know we get your best wishes an*
that you'd be glad to help us out of
trquble."
"You bet," said Hart. "Howdy."
And the cavalcade started off north
ward in an optimistic endeavor to find
the cottonwood tree of which Ellis was
,so fearful.—Chicago Record.
