81 remember, remember,
The house where was born;
The little window where the sun
Came peeplng in at morn"
says Hood.
And indeed, who is there to whom
the memories of childhood do not come
with all their sweetness and pleasure,
even though it may seem to one that
his childhood days have but just
passed, and even now that he has but
half outgrown childhood's thoughts
Who is there to whom these recollec-
tons do not come with feelings of
pleasure? Yes, of pleasure. Some
times, indeed, there may have come
sorrows sometimes there may have
been troubles and perp!eSities. But

..,shadovvs OF a Great city"

The Baldwin Theatre Company,
of San Francisco, will present at
the Opera House next FRIDAY
July 81, the greatest Of all melo-
dramas. "The Shadows of Great
City" The company presenting it
10 one of the most powerful travel
ing, and at the requestof some lead
ing citizens, will perform in this
city. The company is headed bv
Mr.. Lewis Morrison, one of the
most popular of leading men, Mr.
George Osbourne, a character actor
without an equal, aud Mr.. L. R.
Stockwell the inimitable CONNIE
dian, which names alone are a
guarantee of a powerful cast.
"The Shadows of Great City
has proved the most successful Of
any melodrama presented in late
years. Replete with comedy and
startling situations, and with the
fine scenery carried by this COM
pany, the drama keeps the interest
and enthusiasm of the audience at
the highest pitch from the rise to
the fall of the curtain. Reserved
seats are on sale without extra
charge. This being the only first
class company that has visited our
city fer some time, it is hoped that
our theatre going citizens will fill
the hall.

The N. Y. Tribune has published
= statement of the present status
Of the trust fund raised by the cit
isens Of New York for General
Grant several years ago. After
telling how, at the suggestion Of
the late General Morgan guaran-
tesing them, and undertaking to
make both principal and interest
good out Of his own private fortune
in ease the interest should be de-
faulted for six months. The Tri-
b,ne says: What six months ago
seemed almost an impossible con:
tingency, will probably become a
fact within = few days. On August
LIST the interest on the bonds in
question will be six months in ar
rear, and it is probable that Coy
srnor Morgan's executors will, in
accordance with guaranty, pay
eyer to the trustees of the fund.
the principal and interest. Only
one question remaint to be deter
mined. 1t has been suggested
that the executors of the Morgan
estate lend to the railroad the
money wherewith to pay the in
te,st on the bonds held in trust for
General Grant and his family,
there would technically be no de-
fault and therefore the Morgan es-
tate would not be liable for the
principal. Whatever course Gov
srnor Morgan, if alive, would have
pursued under the circumstances,
his executors are bound in law to
be governed by the exact legal in
depreciation of his written guar
abty. The whole question of the
executors liability at the present
juncture, has been referred to .
lawyer, who will give his opinion
in . few days. In the meantime
Ahere is reason to believe that on
August LIST, the guaranty will be
carried out, and the $198,OOO with
arrears Of interest, will be paid to
the treasurer of the fund.

nor disposition to try this suit il

where we can look at them occa-

Furthermore, We will give 800

Winter and settle in the Spring by a

The assertion that the Tribune

combination to get the county
printing was not in evidence nor
was it true A little over a year
ago the APPEAL and Tribune put
in a Joint bid to the county agree

above board, and there was no ST.

could be but one county organ in
which all advertising must appear

APPEAL. Under the circumstan
ees We felt bound to share with the
Tribune just as if the contract had
been jointly awarded. The COM
