    1. [NORCAL] Sac Bee Jan 5, 1897
    2. The Sacramento Evening Bee Thursday, January 5, 1897 AMUSEMENTS The second entertainment of the Capitol Concert Series will be given at the Congregational Church this evening, under the management of R.T. COHN and H.A. KIDDER. They say that in addition to the season tickets already out they will have two hundred single admission tickets on sale at the door. The program is an extended one, and one which will no doubt afford a rare entertainment. Mendelssohn’s “Ride of the Elves” will be given by the Treble Clef Quartet of San Francisco. It will also sing the “Slumber Song” and the “Lost Chord”. Among the others to appear are Homer HENLEY of San Francisco, baritone; Bernard MOLLENHAUER, violinist; Mrs. FINE, soprano; Frank COFFIN, tenor, and Mr. KING will give a grand organ solo. Those who intend to go to the entertainment are requested by the management to be seated at 8 o’clock. Eddie SMITH, the new comedian engaged by Manager TODD, made his first appearance with the stock company at the Clunie Opera House last night and made a very favorable impression. A lively comedy, called “Breach of Promise,” was presented. At the conclusion of the comedy a troupe of Japanese acrobats and jugglers appeared in a series of wonderful acts. The same bill will be given to-night. The Jennie CALEF Dramatic Company stranded in Reading, Pennsylvania, December 12th, and a benefit was given to relieve the members of the company. San Francisco Music and Drama remarks that Andy WALDRON’s luck still sticks to him. Gilman-Bee Case. In the Superior Court to-day the case of C.H. GILMAN vs. The Bee was set for February 8th, and both sides agreed upon Judge HUNT, of San Francisco, to preside in the matter. A VETERAN REPUBLICAN Endorsement of S.K. Thornton for Appraiser at San Francisco’s Port. S.K. THORNTON, of San Francisco, one of the best known Republicans in California, is in the city looking upon the process of law making at the Capitol. Mr. THORNTON has also been interviewing the statesmen of his political faith in order to get their indorsement to his petition to President McKINLEY to be appointed Appraiser of the Port of San Francisco. Owing to the popularity of Mr. Thornton, and to the fact that he has been a hard worker in the party, all of the Republican members of both Houses of the Legislature have signed his petition. Cutting Down Help Yesterday afternoon, about 3 o’clock, the Republicans of the Assembly met in caucus and adopted the report made by the Committee on attaches appointed by the last Legislature. This report cuts down the number of employees in the lower house fully one-third, at a saving of $197 a day. The committee which formulated the report consisted of NORTH, of Alameda, CUTTER, of Yuba, and VALENTINE. THE NEW STENOGRAPHERS Warren DOAN and E.F. DUDEN Officially Installed. The Judges of the Superior Court yesterday afternoon appointed a committee, consisting of C.H. OATMAN, W.A. GETT, Jr., and Albert M. JOHNSON, to examine Warren E. DOAN and E.F. DUDEN, as to their qualifications to act as official shorthand reporters. The committee having examined them and made a favorable report, the Judges sitting in the bank this morning made an order appointing these two the official reporters of the Superior Court of Sacramento County. Warren E. DOAN in the examination wrote at the rate of 225 words per minute and was still keeping it up when the time was called. Mr. DUDEN wrote at the rate of 190 words per minute, which is a very good test, considering the fact that he has been in very poor health for several weeks. There is no doubt but that he could have written very much faster had it not been for his physical condition. Doan is one of the best stenographers in the State of California. His work is always quick, clear and neat, and the transcripts that he turns our for Courts and lawyers have been the subject of great praise. Duden is also a very painstaking stenographer, and he will undoubtedly make a most creditable record for himself. PERSONAL NOTES Dr. M. GARDNER, of San Francisco, was in the city to-day. The friends of Mr. and Mrs. James GOVAN yesterday celebrated the golden wedding, the fiftieth anniversary, of the aged couple, the celebration being in the nature of a surprise. Mr. and Mrs. GOVAN were induced to go out in the morning to visit their daughter, Mrs. T.B. HALL, and while absent, friends came in and decorated the rooms with golden streamers, rosettes, and flowers. Fully 300 friends visited the old couple during the day, and the occasion was one of great pleasure to all. Mr. and Mrs. GOVAN were assisted at the reception by Mesdames W.H. GOVAN, E.B. WILLIS, J.E. TERRY, J.C. CHIPMAN, J.A. MOYNIHAN, Frank TRAINOR, George STEINMILLER and T.B. HALL, and the Misses M.J. OBARR, Bertha EBERT, Kittie and Nellie TURTON, Clara MILLER, Mabel BASSETT, Mollie JOHNSON and Jeannie and Miriam GOVAN.

GOVAN; Robert GOVAN, a well-known civil engineer; Elias GOVAN, Chief Deputy City Tax Collector; Mrs. T.B. HALL and Misses Jeannie and Miriam GOVAN. LOCAL BREVITIES J.W. WILSON, of the police force has been granted a ten days’ leave of absence on account of illness. A Chinaman named Quong Yee was to-day fined, $2.50 in the Police Court for throwing rubbish into China Slough. A “gold and silver” party will be given at Turner Hall on the evening of February 18th, by the Young Ladies’ Institute, No. 17.

Grant PITTMAN and Charles REITZKE who were in the Police Court this morning for drunkenness, were allowed to go. The case of Mrs. E.B. PURNELL, charged with maintaining a cesspool which is considered a nuisance was continued in the Police Court to-day until the 19th. Inst. John P. BRISSEL, by his attorney, J.H. LIGGETT, has filed a petition in insolvency in the Superior Court. The debts amount to $502.50, and there are no assets. COUNCIL OF JEWISH WOMEN Sacramento Branch Held an Interesting Meeting.

HEILBRON; reading, “Hebrew Music,” Mrs. Joseph THIEBEN; piano solo, “Hebrew Rhapsody,” Mrs. Albert ELKUS; address, “The Jewish Woman,” by J. WEINSTOCK; vocal solo, Miss Sophia PRICE; Scriptural reading, Rabbi SIMON. The address of Mr. WEINSTOCK was unusually well written and eloquently delivered. It struck a sympathetic chord of the hears of all present, particularly of the women, who went home feeling sure that the world needed them. FELL FROM A LIGHT POLE Charles A. Shaw Met With a Very Severe Accident Charles A. SHAW, an employee of the Sacramento Gas and Electric Light Company, about 10 o’clock this morning fell from a pole on Twenty-first and P Streets to the sidewalk. He was taken to the Sisters’ Hospital for treatment. He escaped very luckily, sustaining no more serious injury than a fractured rib. He was badly bruised, however, and for a time was stunned. ALONG THE COAST The Daily Argus, published at Petaluma, has suspended. The weekly will continue to be published. While attempting to board a Southern Pacific train at Los Angeles, Chase A. CONRAD, a prominent editor of Phoenix, Arizona Territory, fell beneath the wheels and suffered the loss of his right leg, which was severed at the knee. The War Eagle mine, next to the Leroy, the largest and most valuable property in the Rossland (B.C.) camp, is reported to have been sold to at Montreal syndicate for $1,000,000. The officers of the company deny that the deal has gone through, but admit that the sale has practically been made. Charged With Seduction Deputy Sheriff Charles SCHWILK has returned from San Luis Obispo with Thomas H. CARROLL, whom he served with a warrant sworn to by a young woman of this city. CARROLL was liberated on $1000 bonds, furnished by Peter FLAHERTY and M.H. SHEEHAN.

    1. Re: [NORCAL] FTM upgrade or...
    2. Joan, So, are you asking if it's worth it to upgrade to FTM or are you considering another program? If you are considering another program, the most intuitive ones out there and that help you document your research the best are RootsMagic and Legacy Family Tree. They both have free versions that can be downloaded to your computer. I have used FTM, Legacy, RootsMagic, Genbox, and TMG, so I can make a fair comparison. I also looked at PAF and wasn't impressed. So, if you weren't looked for other software, never mind!

    1. Re: [NORCAL] NORCAL Digest, Vol 7, Issue 45
    2. I don't think it will be long after April 2nd that we will start to see census images on Ancestry.com. See this page -- http://www.ancestry.com/1940?o_xid=21837&o_lid=21837&o_sch=Search. Here's a link from the NARA -- http://www.archives.gov/research/census/1940/. I suspect that Ancestry.com will release images as they are ready, and not wait for the entire census to be done. That's what they have done in the past. I don't expect to see FamilySearch people to get this done as fast. It will be interesting to see if that's right or not.
