San Jose the Beautiful What Ma
ture and Public Spirit May Do for
q Place-An Exotic Spot-Delight-
full Social Atmosphere General
Notes.

DEAR HERALD: l trust your readers
will indulge me in giving politics the 60
by for the nonce and in writing of other
matters. Four mortal days spent at a
political convention require something
of an alleviatory character to make
them 60 down. Fortunately, during
my stay in "San Jose, The Beautiful, "
the political malady had its anodyne.
1t is a comedy town-in truth, a
bright and inspiriting place. Whether
surveyed from the cupola of the Court
House or taken in from planned excur-
sions, the impression made upon the
stranger by San Jose is delightful one.
One of its specialties is its electric light
dispensed from its famous tall tower.
On one of its main streets graceful
iron structure springs to great height,
and comes to an apex at giddy altitude
from which, at night, a dazzling white
radiance is sent forth. do not propose
to indulge in diagrams or specifications
dull work at best-and will merely
say that, in principal street of San
Jose, Brother Owens's electrical struct-
ure diffuses light which discounts the
"chaste beams of the watery moon, and
that for a distance of three miles in
every direction, San Jose has right
to exult in having been the first of Cali
fornia cities to show the practicability
and perfection of this method of illumi-
nation, and the editorial guild is justi-
fed in indulging legitimate pride in
the fact that member of the craft sup
Piled the dynamic intellectual and in.
ventive force which made the expert
ment successful.
A CHARMING CITY.
While, according to Bishop Gill
Haven, and other worldwide travellers,
Los Angeles is the Damascus of the
American continent, manifold and
varied beauties are encountered in San
Jose. Its alameda is justly famous. The
drive between the city and Santa Clara
cannot be surpassed in the world.
Throughout its whole length this match
less course is aligned by residences of
great beauty uncovered in a wealth of
flowers and foliage. But the Alameda,
SO called by way of distinction, is but
small part of the leafy attractions of
San Jose. Go where one will, umbra-
geous avenues, stretching for miles, are
encountered. Here have gathered, from
all points Of California, people of means,
who have taken huge delight in orna-
msnting both their residences and the
highways. 1t is emphatically coigne
of vantage upon which the rich have
pounced, and nowhere else has lavish
outlay secured more exquisite results.
The educational facilities of San Jose
are of the most thorough and complete
order. In addition to the college and
convent which have made the Garden
City famous, the public school buildings

The State Bond Printing Con.
tract.
NashEiIle Wor d, q.

In another column we print the
proceedings of the Funding Board,
under the 1908 act, and upon which
they ask an appropriation from the
Legislature. 1t will be seen that the
contract was entered into on the 9th
of April 1881 the Franklin Bank Note
Company agreeing to furnish bonds as
ordered from time to time, in writing
Or otherwise" On the 9th day OF
May, the Funding Board was enjoined
from further proceeding under said
act, but it seems that they made no
effort to abrogate or annul the con
tract, but they proceeded to order
from time to time, in writing or other
wise" Indeed, it has been said they
were advised by one of the counsel
who is now seeking foe at the hands
of the Legislature, to disregard the
injunction entirely.
Another thing about the matter a
little queer to us is the account of the
Bank Note Company and receipt at.
tached thereto without any date.
Why don't the Funding Board make a
clean showing of this thing? Why
don't they show what efforts, if any,
they made to stop the printing Of
these bonds? Why don't they show
when and where they were delivered,
and when and how they were paid lori
The whole thing looks decidedly fsby,
and it seems the legislature is making
no efforts to prevent a job upon t. e
State.

The Memphis Liquidating
BOARD.
NnshYille American. p.


Senator Hills bill to abolish the
Liquidating Board Of the Taxing Dis
trict, passed its first reading in the
House yesterday afternoon. General
Smith, who is the Secretary of the
Board, believes that himself and
others will be able to defeat the bill in
the House. A Representative from
Shelby told an American reporter
yesterday that he thought the bill
would pass; that each of the three
Commissioners received salary OF
$500 each, and the Secretary $500
per annum; that they had drawn $4,000
in salaries already, and funded two
500 bonds.
1t will be remembered that the last
Legislature passed an act authorizing
the settlement Of the old Memphis
debt at 33l cents on the dollar, and
appointed three Commissioners to at
tend to it. These Commissioners were
paid each $500 year, and Secretary
was to receive $500 a year. The
holders of the bonds did not make
much Of rush to compromise, and
since the passage of the act only two
500 bonds have been offered and set
tied. There is some $4,000 to the
credit of this funding scheme, and
some Of the bondholders are talking of
attaching it. To save this expensive
funding, and lawsuit, are the objects
to be accomplished by the Senate bill
passed yesterday.

ers Of the LEDGER, is explained by
note received from him yesterday, in
which he states that he has been seri-

be able to write for the paper for some
weeks to come. He seems to have had
q desperate fight for life and now to be
on the winning and gaining side. We
sincerely hope that he may soon be
fully restored and that he may live
long to write for the thousands who
have for years past read his letters

Senator Brown, for years past. has
been a great sufferer from an attack Of
brr nchial affection, when, coupled
with the fact that for some time past
unmistakable evidences of the disease
of consumption have been seen coming
from his mouth, and his form has been
wasting away gradually, causes much
feeling of uneasinesS for him. The

Atlanta on his trip to South Georgia,
he was confined to an easy chair, aud

Rumor is quite prevalent on the
streets tonight that at an early day
Senator Brown will resign his seat in
the Senate, and that General John B
Gordon will be appointed to fill his
vacancy. Two years ago this month
Gordon resigned his seat in the Sen
