The Work of the Fourth Subdivision

The board OF directors for the fourth subdi-
vision, Associated Charities, at it's last meet

gratifying. The whole amount OF funds con-
tributed By members was S343.41. Total ex-
pended. 965S; leaving balance of SIG SO to
provide for such extreme cases of restitution as
may be found in the subdivision during the
summer The results accomplished include both
temporary relief and permanent benefit to the
poor. Employment was obtained for twelve
persons who were able and willing to work In
5o6 cases of sickness and restitution food and
clothing was furnished.

ORKNEY SPRINGS, June IT,
Having found among the advertisements in
your paper notice of Orkney Springs, Shenan-
doah county, Va. was tempted to come here
from Washington without any special knowledge
of its advantages. After a residence of two
weeks can truly say that it is one of the most
remarkable spots In the mountains of Virginia.
II it had only itsfamous Bear-wallow water. and
one had to live in tent here, 1t would be
blessing to hundreds of people suffering i'm your
city from heat and its consequences, from the
want OF tonic atmosphere. from the loss of an
petite, from general debility or disease But
there are here five distinct remedial waters and
instead of tent there is good hotel accommo-
dation for about 700 guests, with separate COT
tages for families. II desired with spacious and
well laid-Out grounds, with plenty of shade and
sunshine, and bracing atmosphere that in
vites sleep at night under blankets, and exer-
else during the day on horseback or on foot
among the picturesque hills. The appetite thus
stimulated Is satisfied by bountiful table. The
worst WORKOUT victim of insomnia, debility or
depression of spirits-the delicate, nervous wO-
man, or the sickly child, would soon recover
health and strength In this tonic air, which
makes the blood Jingle to the tips Of the fingers.
Having already experienced the great benefits
OF the air and waters In my own person. write
these lines simply for the benefit of those who
know not that there is such relief for them with
In easy reach, and at very moderate expense.

stone in 1854. During the years the enterprise
languished he had strong faith In the final sue

completed In 1868. When, few years ago. those
holding the bonds Of the church filed q suit to
enforce their payment, Bishop Simpson came
forward and secured delay by assuming the debt

A dispatch from Sonora, Cal, gives particu-
lars Of one Of the most complicated tragedies
that probably ever occurred. Edmund Gala
CHER, % years old, shot Mrs. Otis Greenwood
with double-barreled shotgun. Her SON Otis
ran after Gallagher and fred twice at him with
out effect. Robert Watson pursued Otis Green
wood. The latter turned on Watson and shot
him twice. Watson fell, whereupou Watson's
son opened DIRE on Greenwood, but the latter
escaped to Sonora, where he surrendered.
Learning the facts, the sheriff started for the
scene and arrested Gallagher. Both he and
Greenwood are lodged in jail. Mrs. Greenwood
and Watson since died. The tragedy ia the re-
suit OF q dispute about Watson running waters
across Greenwood's mining claim. Mrs. Green
wood was the widow OF q prominent LAWYER OF
the locality. The others are respectfully CON
pected.

Results Of the Cauouses.

The results OF the eancuses last evening in
dictate that the Republican convention to be
held on Saturday evening will nominate for
Mayor Mr.. Marquis F. King. In but one
ward were delegates chosen who are uuder
stood to favor the nomination of Mr.. Byron
d. Verrill. In no ward were tickets under
stood TO be favorable to any third candidate
circulated, and in two wards there was no
contest whatever. While Mr.. VerrilPs sup
port was of character, and inspired by a
motive, that was highly honorable to him, it
appeared that the work done by those who
supported Mr.. King had been more effectual
with :he majority and determined the issue
in his favor. A large proportion of the bust
ness and professional men of the city who
have reason to know of Mr.. Verrilps ability
and wisdsm were strongly in his favor; but
other influences were at work for Mr.. King
whose candidacy from the beginning appeared
to have more of the elements of general non,
ularity. The contest has been carried on
with less than usual personal feeling and
each was earnestly supported by body Of
friends whose motives cannot be called in
question, and In manner which leaves no
ranking causes of division. There is no
reason why every earnest supporter of Mr..
yerrill should not become, in case of the
nomination of Mr.. King, which now seems
probable, al earnest worker for his election.
Upon whatever grounds it may have seemed
TO any that Mr.. Verrill would be the better
candidate, there was never any question
that as between Mr.. King and the candidate
the Democrats must nominate, Mr.. King
would be by all odds preferable. No Repub-
licsn candidate has been thought of for the
place who would not make wiser, safer and
more satisfactory Mayor than the blum

Cats Wanted on the Pacific.


A rather novel experiment is being tried
ON Union Island, in the San joaquin river
This island, like several of its neighbors
was rescued from the tules and annual
floods by levees. An army of Chinamen
cleaned out the persistent tule or marsh
grass. Since then it has been put into
wheat, and in all save very wet seasons, has
produced royal crops of grain.
For tho last two seasons, however, greal
annoyance has been suffered from the 60
pher, or little ground squirrel, which il
found In all parts of California. ana which
is one of the farmers most dreaded enemies.
1t destroys grain, kills fruit trees, ravages
gatdens-in fact, combines the destruc' i've
properties of the crow, the squirrel and the
rabbit, while it is not SO large as good
sized rat.
These pests have increased so rapidly on
Union Island that the proprietor of the
place has sent oat agents all through the
San Joaquin and Sacramento vaelleys to buy
cats to keep down the gophers. A bonus Of
twenty-five cents head for all good, able
bodied cats, irrespective of sex, has been a
big inducement to the small boy, and the
agents have already shipped several hun
dred mousers to the island. One man has
extended his wanderiugs to Oakland, and
is reducing the back fence orchestras of that
cheerful city.
