SACRAMENTO, CaL, March 20, Speaking as 2 member of the Thirty- second Legisiature Assemblyman Walter F. Price of Sonoma said: “This has been an exceptionally busy in the period with me since my arrival in Sac- ramento. Unfortunately for me I was appointed on six or seven of the most im- poriant committees, and I have been com- pelled to work late into the night upon | matters connected with the committees, and muca of my correspondence has been neg ected. “Being chairman of the Agriculiural Committee it took much time and study 10 arrange the important bills before us. “There were the dairy bills, the agricul- tural bills and other rural measures to be gotten 1nto shape to meet the approval of the members. Being much'interested in road matters, I made a study of the road bills and advocated much now contained in the proposed new laws. +] have succeeded in passing a ‘wide- tire wagon bill’ which my people were much interested in, and sccured in the in- terest of the poultry-keepers of 10y county an appri priation f)r an experimental youitry station in the general biil, to be located at the State University, of $5000. “I have succeeded in passine a biil for the Glen Eilen Feeble-minded Home that will be a great saving in expense to the State in the care of 1ts inmates at that in- stitution. The Commitiees on Hospitals and Asylums, Contested Elections, Com- merce and Navigation and Public Print- ing have been occnpied with important business before them, and when I attempt to attend t» business in committees and on the floor, 109, it leaves me bat little time for sleep. “Th - spec al investigating committee ap- pointed 1o look into the affairs of the State Printin Office held meetings nearly every day and nig 1, including Sundavs, examining accounts, witnesses and the bills this session, and it is no wonder that nowand then a bill with a *bug’in it creeps past those who are on the lookont for good legislation. “This is my second term in the Legisla- ture, and I feel that to be & success as an Assemblyman one must be a-walking en- cyclopedia, a quick thinker, an earnest debater and a clever parliamentarian ; and 50 lew of us possess all of these aturibuies that iU’s easy to be a failure.” SANTA ROSA’S SENSATION. Evidence Corroborating Ex - Treasurer Stofen’s Story of the Treasury Raid in 1893. SANTA ROSA, Cav.,, March 20.—Public interest over the sensational robbery of the county treasury here some years ago was revived to-day by the affidavit of George E. Peerv.

It will be remembered that the Treas- urer was found iocked in the big vault, from which $80(0 in gold was missing, late one afternoon in October, 1893. The ‘Treasurer's bondsmen were sued and juigment entered azainst them. The affi- davit of to-day was made for the purpose of obtaining & new triai. George E. Peery, who makes the affidavit,-was then em- ployed in the courthouse. He says he told a number of people of haviog seen the suspicious man with the valise com- ing from the 1reasurer’s office.

FRESNO, CAr., March 20.—The County Assessor's depu ies have just completed the collection of poll iaxes in Chinatown. They succeeded in making almost every | Mongol pay. By making the collections | carly the deputies frustrated a very clever schéme, which has been practiced by the | Chinamen for a number of years. 1t was to get the receipts of Chinamen who had aiready paid in San Francisco and show these when the Deputy Assessors came around. This year the coliectors went to work before the CUelestiais got their re- ceipts in San Francisco. It is probable that Fresno receipts will now be sent to San Francisco to deceive t e coilectors tuere.

I think that Fitzsimmons will now retire with a well-tarned champonship. It would be dangerous, too, for him to train for another fight, and if I had anything to say about it I would not permit it, be- cause his health would be undermined. It was certainly a great contest, and one that witnesses will never forget.” Mr. Rocap said that he was convinced that Fitzsimmons won the fight more from carelessness on Corbet\’s part than from any superiority, and he said he be- lieved that if the men were to meet to- morrow Corbett would win. Mr. Rocap says that there was no question in his mind but what Corbett was the better man of the two. e e THREE FISTIC KEFENIS. Opening of the National Sporting Club of New York. NEW YORK, N.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL., March 20.—An enthusiastic meeting of Redwood Parlor No. 66, Native Sons of :he Goiden West, was held in Native Sons’ Hall last night. The immed:ate cause of the general out- pouring of members was the fact that delecates were to be efected to represent the parlor at the meeting of the Grand Parlor in this city the Iatter part of April. Another reason was that the various com- mittees appointed by the parlor to ar. range for the Grand Parlor celebration were 0 report on their progress, and a third reason wes that the parior bad made preparations for a banquet to follow ihe usiness session. The ways and means committee as- sured the parlor that sufficient funds were already subscribed to make the meeting a perfect success.

After the parlor adjourned tables were spread and tbe members indulged in a good time. el S PORTLAND WOMAN'S PLIGHT. Swallows a Section of Her False Teeth and Passes Under the Sur- geon's Knife. PORTLAND, Or., March 20.—About three weeks ago Mrs. William J. Patton of this city broke a rubber plate of a set of false teeth. Not long afterward, and before sube had bad time to have the plate re- paired, she had occasion to make a call, and undertook to wear the broken piate. | After adjusting the pieces and placing them in position, she was constrained to yawn, at the same time involuntarily placing her hand over her mouth. Un- fortunately she pressed her fingers against her teeth, detaching half of the broken plate, and, as her mouth was wide open and her head thrown back, the piece of plate and the teeth attached went down her throat. Mrs. Patto made a desperate effort to catch it or eject it, but it had slipped out of her reach or control, and passed into the stomach. Inaday or two the plate began io trouble her, causing her great pain and suffering. She was unabie to eat, and her sufferings increased, until it was seen that heroic measures must .be taken if her life was to be saved. A decision was reached at a consultation of physicians to open the stomach and re- move the teeth. The operation was suc- cessfully performed, but to the astonish- ment of all concerned no trace of the plate or teeth could be found. Some claim that the rubber plate. was digested or broken up in the stomach, but this theory | is as improbabie as the other. The most sausfac feature of the caseis that Mrs. Patton has been rapidly improving sever since the operation was performed and will soon be out. ACCIDENT AT 3AUSALITO.

BERKELEY, Car., March 20.—Polities in Berkeley, especially as regards the office of Town Marshal, are at the boiling point. Though the election will not take place until three weeks hence the feeling be- tween the two factions has grown to enormous proportions.
