A Description of Tham— How They Are ‘to be Distribated. . Nearly -a year ago the. powers that regulate the National Guard of California determined that the uniform and equipments thereof should be the same as that now prescried by army regulations for the several arms of the service. Adjutant-General Orton has now published the report, from which it appears that the following departures from army regulations have been made in the State uniform : : The dress coat and pants of inlisted men shall be made of a grade or qual ity of cloth used for nuiforms of noncommissioned officers of the United States Army. There shall be two straps of the same color and material as the facings let into the waist seam on each sile of the dress coat\of enlisted men and buttoned above the hip to sustain the waist belt. The buttons of the dress coat shall be of the design known as the California State Button, and the best quality. A nickel-plated figure, one-half ine) high, denoting number of regiment, shall be placed on each side of the coat collar, about one-half inch from the end, The helmet shall have the coat-ofarms of the State of California on a six-pointed star pended from a spread eagle. A white helmet of the same pattern,, siinilarly ornamented, may be worn by and with the consent of the Commander-in-Chief. The cartridge-box, waist-belt and bayonent-sce bbard shall be of the patbut the belt-plate shall have on it the company letter, and the cartridge-box shall have the letters “N. GC.” in place of the letters “*U. 8."" The Adjutant-General says that after deducting from the whole amoun: of the appropiation sufficient to uniform the non-commissioned stuff officers, bands, signal corps and cadet companies which were in existence at the time the bill was passed, there will be made an issue to each of the forty companies in existence at that time fifty-seven uniforms, consisting of coats, pants and blouses of the value of $1137.15, as follows: coats, $9.97; pants, $4.92; blouses, $5.06. Any company who does not want the ful) number of fifty-seven coats, pants, or blouses, may take other articles, such as helmets, forage caps or overcoats in place of such articles, providing the whole value of property issued to such company does not exceed $1149.

Mr. Sills, the gentleman who is so fortunate to secure the be procured without unnecessary delay: He should state how many coats, pants or blouses he would require, and the articles he wishes in lieu of those not taken. For instance, he will be allowed fifty-seven uniform coats at $9.97 under this order, the total value of which is $568.29. If he only wishes forty to uniform hiscompany, he will have the value of seventeen to his credit, viz.: $16949, which he can draw in other articles. It is r.commended; however, that most, or all, of the allowance be taken in the articles above named, so as to secure uniformity. : As regards the future wear and care the Adjutant-General says that, “although these uniforms will be cut to measure, they will not be deemed to by the private property of any individual or organization; they are the property of the State of Culifornia. Each J article will be numbered and registered at these headquarters, and they will at. all times be under the control of the Quartermaster-General and subject to be transferred from one organization to another should the exigencies of the service require it. Therefore, they will not be marked by any regimental number, company letter or ind. vidual name, except on a separate piece of cloth or tape, which may be removed without mutilating the garment,” ! ~Oe ™ Game Items, ',.

City Marshal Eddy's Sufferings Relieved By Death. ._— Wm. Eddy at a quarter past 8 o’clock Tuesday evening died at his home on Lost Hill, this city. He had been in poor health several months and was for six weeks previous to his death confined to the house. and unable to wait upon himself. When the Salvation Army more than a year ago first invaved this city he contracted a severe cold while protecting their street meetings from being disturbed by hoodlums, and since that time he has been gradually succumbing the to inroads of disease. He was a native of Gurnard’s He.d, Cornwall, England, where he was born January. 6th, 1883. In 1849, when sixteen years old, he came to America with his parents who settled inthe coal mines of Pennsylvania. His father died there leaving him the only support of his mother and her young family. He went next to the copper mines of Lake Superior and alter working there for awhile he vame to California in January, 1854. He stopped about ‘a year in Grass Valley,then came to this “city where he. engaged in the occupation of mining Cn 1856 he returned to Pennsylvania and in 1857 brought back with him to this place his mother and family. While in Pennsylvania he married Miss Emily Jeffrey who died in 1879, leaving to him the care of seven childr n.two of whom, have died. At one time he was quite prosperous, but several years spent in prospecting with poor results impoverished him. About three.years ago, up to which time he had been a rugged, hearty tnan, he was caved on in the Merrifield mine having both legs broken andone hip dislocated. He never fully recovered from this shock to his ayatem.,, Being thus incapacitated from mining, in which he was expert, and had held responsible positions, he entervd the contest for City Marshal in 1886 and was elected. So ably did he discharge the duties of the position that he was re-elected in 1887. Mr. Eddy died in the same house that he had occupied as a family residence since his return here in 1857. He had been an industrious, publicspirited and intelligent citizen, and by his many admirai le traits of character won a high place in the esteem of his townsinen. — He leaves three daughters and two sons. His three surviving sisters are Mrs, J. T. Morgan of this city, Mrs. Frank E. Carter of Grass Valley end Mrs. John Sneath of Pioche, Nevada.

A. Watson who appeared under the. auspices of the Teachers’ Institute. The young gentleman read from five of the great dramatist’s productions.

Mrs. F. G. Beatty, who deservedly ranks among the very best of amateur pianists, played ‘‘Auld Lang Syne” ind “The Mocking Bird.” Upon being recalled she favored the audience with a difficult arrangement of ‘Thou ‘Art So Near.” Miss i A Maltman was never in better voice, and sang ‘‘Borne on the Rosy Wings’’ so effectively that she was enthusiastically encored, Har second number was ‘When the Bloom is on the Rye,’’ and this was rendered in the same exquisite manner as the first: 3 : Mrs. H.

A Description of Tham— How They Are ‘to be Distribated. . Nearly -a year ago the. powers that regulate the National Guard of California determined that the uniform and equipments thereof should be the same as that now prescried by army regulations for the several arms of the service. Adjutant-General Orton has now published the report, from which it appears that the following departures from army regulations have been made in the State uniform : : The dress coat and pants of inlisted men shall be made of a grade or qual ity of cloth used for nuiforms of noncommissioned officers of the United States Army. There shall be two straps of the same color and material as the facings let into the waist seam on each sile of the dress coat\of enlisted men and buttoned above the hip to sustain the waist belt. The buttons of the dress coat shall be of the design known as the California State Button, and the best quality. A nickel-plated figure, one-half ine) high, denoting number of regiment, shall be placed on each side of the coat collar, about one-half inch from the end, The helmet shall have the coat-ofarms of the State of California on a six-pointed star pended from a spread eagle. A white helmet of the same pattern,, siinilarly ornamented, may be worn by and with the consent of the Commander-in-Chief. The cartridge-box, waist-belt and bayonent-sce bbard shall be of the patbut the belt-plate shall have on it the company letter, and the cartridge-box shall have the letters “N. GC.” in place of the letters “*U. 8."" The Adjutant-General says that after deducting from the whole amoun: of the appropiation sufficient to uniform the non-commissioned stuff officers, bands, signal corps and cadet companies which were in existence at the time the bill was passed, there will be made an issue to each of the forty companies in existence at that time fifty-seven uniforms, consisting of coats, pants and blouses of the value of $1137.15, as follows: coats, $9.97; pants, $4.92; blouses, $5.06. Any company who does not want the ful) number of fifty-seven coats, pants, or blouses, may take other articles, such as helmets, forage caps or overcoats in place of such articles, providing the whole value of property issued to such company does not exceed $1149.

Mr. Sills, the gentleman who is so fortunate to secure the be procured without unnecessary delay: He should state how many coats, pants or blouses he would require, and the articles he wishes in lieu of those not taken. For instance, he will be allowed fifty-seven uniform coats at $9.97 under this order, the total value of which is $568.29. If he only wishes forty to uniform hiscompany, he will have the value of seventeen to his credit, viz.: $16949, which he can draw in other articles. It is r.commended; however, that most, or all, of the allowance be taken in the articles above named, so as to secure uniformity. : As regards the future wear and care the Adjutant-General says that, “although these uniforms will be cut to measure, they will not be deemed to by the private property of any individual or organization; they are the property of the State of Culifornia. Each J article will be numbered and registered at these headquarters, and they will at. all times be under the control of the Quartermaster-General and subject to be transferred from one organization to another should the exigencies of the service require it. Therefore, they will not be marked by any regimental number, company letter or ind. vidual name, except on a separate piece of cloth or tape, which may be removed without mutilating the garment,” ! ~Oe ™ Game Items, ',.

City Marshal Eddy's Sufferings Relieved By Death. ._— Wm. Eddy at a quarter past 8 o’clock Tuesday evening died at his home on Lost Hill, this city. He had been in poor health several months and was for six weeks previous to his death confined to the house. and unable to wait upon himself. When the Salvation Army more than a year ago first invaved this city he contracted a severe cold while protecting their street meetings from being disturbed by hoodlums, and since that time he has been gradually succumbing the to inroads of disease. He was a native of Gurnard’s He.d, Cornwall, England, where he was born January. 6th, 1883. In 1849, when sixteen years old, he came to America with his parents who settled inthe coal mines of Pennsylvania. His father died there leaving him the only support of his mother and her young family. He went next to the copper mines of Lake Superior and alter working there for awhile he vame to California in January, 1854. He stopped about ‘a year in Grass Valley,then came to this “city where he. engaged in the occupation of mining Cn 1856 he returned to Pennsylvania and in 1857 brought back with him to this place his mother and family. While in Pennsylvania he married Miss Emily Jeffrey who died in 1879, leaving to him the care of seven childr n.two of whom, have died. At one time he was quite prosperous, but several years spent in prospecting with poor results impoverished him. About three.years ago, up to which time he had been a rugged, hearty tnan, he was caved on in the Merrifield mine having both legs broken andone hip dislocated.. He never fully recovered from this shock to his ayatem.,, Being thus incapacitated from mining, in which he was expert, and had held responsible positions, he entervd the contest for City Marshal in 1886 and was elected. So ably did he discharge the duties of the position that he was re-elected in 1887. Mr. Eddy died in the same house that he had occupied as a family residence since his return here in 1857. He had been an industrious, publicspirited and intelligent citizen, and by his many admirai le traits of character won a high place in the esteem of his townsinen. — He leaves three daughters and two sons. His three surviving sisters are Mrs, J. T. Morgan of this city, Mrs. Frank E. Carter of Grass Valley end Mrs. John Sneath of Pioche, Nevada.
