WHAT has this city of Sacramento done9 What
have the people been guilty Of that they should
be slammed by the publication Of the fact that in
their midst there dwells such unutterabe stupidity
as was manifest in letter recently made public
1t was there seriously proposed that the horses Of
the Fire Department be used for the purpose OF
drawing the street sprinEliag cuts Fancy an
alarm, and the driver detaching his horses and rua
ming them mile or so to the engine house, and then
hitehing up and seeking ths fire. Imagine, IL it is
possible, what Insurance. rates would be under such
asystem. And yet it was allowed that such an in
sane suggestion be sent abroad as specimen Of the
utteranees of represent tive citizenship.

THERE would seem to be no absolute necessity for
primary election this week by Republicans Re-
publicans are about equally divided in sentiment SIS
between a primary election and convention.
While it really makes but little difference as to
which course is pursued, still convention is the
least expensive method, and the City Central Com
mittse is admitted to be trustworthy, convention
chosen by the committee would be likely to give a
fuller and more explicit expression to the wishes of
the people than primary election. The committee
should act irrespective Of the desires OF candidates
exercise disp,ssionate judgment in the matter,
and order that method pursued which will result in
the greatest freedom of discussion OF the merits OF
asprants and the broadcast consideration OF the in
terests of the city Apparently these viii be best
advanced by the deliberators of representative
body of citizens chosen by the c mnittee on an
equitable basis of ward representation.

LATnR DIsPATCH.

PrrosKEY, Mich, Nov. 12.-Yesterday
about noon the wind changed round into
the vest, and by the middle of the after
noon the violent storm, blowing tremen-
dous sea into the bay. In the forenoon o.
Is. Chase, superintendent OF state fisheries,
accompanied by G. H. Brownell, bis assist
ant, and Geo. N. Armstrong, foreman of
the Petoskey hatchery, went over
to Harbor Springs to give some final direc-
tions about shipment of spawn, They
chartered Msckinaw fish boat, manned
By Moses Detweller, his sons George and
Charles and nephew George, all experienc-
ed and brave. seamen. At $50 p. n. the
party left the harbor on the other side, in
spite of earnest demonstrations not to at
tempt the perilous passage. When about
half way across the boat vas seen to cap
size. Although it seemed impossible for
boat TO live in such a sea, a volunteer
crew made a desperate attempt to rescue
two Of the party, who could be plainly
seen from the shore clinging TO
the boat, but they were unable
to reach them on account of the blinsing
snow storm and heavy ses, and we're
hardly able to get back themselves. About
8 o'clock DetveIlsr's boat, with one of its
sides crashed in, was driven on the beach
at Bay View, but not one of the bodies
have yet come ashore. The probabilities
are that none of the bodies viii be re-
covered Immediately as they are sunk in
deep water with heavy undereurrent
making out into the lake. At l o'clock
this morning the new city dock, Bells
dock, Roses dock and the Bay View
dock were swept out and the
pound and gill nets in the bay destroyed.
Loss of individual and public property is
very large. Mr.. Chase was very popular
with our people and his loss to the state
cannot easily be made good. Brownell
and Armstrong were strange-s, having re-

that for days and days the engine is fret

Died right In his place, running between
Galesburg and Monmouth, and sat there
with his hand on the lever, and his sight

unnoticed, until the fireman looked up to

An Instance Of Self. C0nfrnI.

Sir Walter Scott was in the habit of
employing in literary work a German
student named Weber. Being an inter-
esting person, he became favorite with
SCOTS household, and often dined with
them. Sir Walter, knowing that Weber
was inclined to drink too freely, encour-
aged this intimacy, that he might keep
HIM as much as possible from tempta-
ton.
When Sir Walter left Edinburg at
Christmas, 1913, the two parted kindly,
and on the day after his return, Weber
was with him in the library, us usual,
making extracts. As the light began to
fail, Scott leaned back in his char and
was about to ring for candles, when, see-
ing the German looking at him with
unusual solemnity, he asked what was
the matter.
"Mr. Scott, said Weber, rising, ''you
have long insulttd me, and | can bear it
no longer. | have brought pair of
pistols, and must insist on your taking
one of them ms antly;" and he produced
The weapons which had been placed uu-
der hls chair, and laid one OF them GA
SCOTS paper
"You are mistaken. | think, said
Scott. Gin your way of settling about
this aflair-but no matter 1t can. how
ever, be no part Of your object to annoy
Mrs. Scott ana the children; therefore,
if You please we viii put the pistols into
the drawer til after dinner, and then
arrange to so out together like gentle
men.
Weber answered with the same cool
ness, II believe that will be better,
and laid the second pistol on the table.
Scott locked both in the drawer, say
ing, Il am glad you have felt the pro-
priety of my suggestion; let me only
request further that nothing may occur
at dinner to give my wife any suspicion
OF what has been passing"
Scott then went to his dressing-room
and Immediately sent message to one
of Weher's intimate companions, who
came aud took him away.
He had been on long walk through
the Highlands, during which he had
drunk SO heavily as to unsettle his mind.
He became hopeless luuatic, and till
his death was supported at SCOTS ex-
pense in an asylum at York. But
for the great novelist's self-control, there
would have been a murder in that quiet
library.

Mistaken Identity.

A woman who got aboard the East
ern-bOund train on the Detroit, Ian
sing and Northern, at Howell, the
other day, was accompanied by a big
dog, and after the train had moved
out passenger walked back to the
stove and asked of three or four young
men sitting there:
Can any of YOU talk to deaf and
dumb person by signs?''
81 can, though I'm somewhat out of
practice" replied one.
VERY well. | wish you'd 90 and
ask that woman over there if She cx-
poets friends to meet her in Detroit. -
The young man walked up to her.
tapped her on the shoulder to attract
her attention, and began series of
gyrations with his fingers which attract
ed the attention of every passenger in
the ear. The womans eyes opened,
and her jaw fell with astonshment,
but after a minute or two she colored
up as red as beet and called out:
I've got my dog under the seat. and
If you mean that you'll tell the conduc-
tor on me | mean that I'll hire some
one to pitch you into snow-drift if /
have to mortgage my farm!n
