Remember the Poor.

There are in Eureka several very poor
families who ought TO be looked sitter by
our we'll to-do people. We know OF no cases
OF starvation, but there are several lam
lilies where the most rigid economy must
be practiced In order to keep the wolf. so
TO speak. from the door. During the past
month . little Irish girl OF about 8 years
OF age has frequently come to the SESTr-
MEL office and asked for old papers. After
q number OF such calls she was asked by .
reporter what she did with 80 many
papers. Her reply was that her mother
needed them. An investigation revealed
the fact that she is the eldest OF q family Of
five children. Her mother lives In q
shan.y up Poverty Gulch. and in order to
get along on $40 allowed her by the county
every month they live almost altogether
on cornmeal mush and molssses. The little
girl spoken OF has become so tired OF the
food that she almost sickens every time 1t
is placed before her, and In order to get
bread she begged old papers and traded
them off for an occasional loaf at the
bakeries In town. Such cases ought to be
looked up and assistance given.

THE U. q. GRAND JURY.
The Body Makes q Report ON the
Chinese Return Certificates.

SPECIAL TO THE B~ENTfNRL.l
SAN Francisco, Dec. THE United
States Grand Jury, which, for some time
past, has been engaged in investigating
alleged frauds 10 connection with the Chi
nese return certificates, made its report
this afternoon. Over 80 witnesses have
been examined. Among them were
publishers. editors and reporters Of
newspapers Of this city, and . number Of
Customs officials. After referring TO the
careless name in which the certificates
were kept by the officials intrusted with
their issuance, the report says: While
the evidence before us perhaps did not
positively issten the guilt Of frsudently
issuing certificates upon any particular
person, still that they we're so issued the
Jurors have not q shadow Of doubt. II is
equally clear that q gross fraud has taken
place 10 landing Chinese since the Re-
striciion Act went into effect. II would
seem loose practices have grown up In
connection with landing Chinese under
writs OF habeas corpus. and possibly
frauds have been perpetrated in conneo-
ton with it," The Grand Jurors express
the opinion in their report that the su.
thofisies at Washington have not always
afforded the needed facilities for carrying
out faithfully she provisions Of the Re-
striction Act. The report concludes by
saying: We are convinced that gross ir-
Irregularities and frauds have been perpe.
trated, and that these could not have been
done except with the connivance or assist
ance OF certain officials connected with the
Customs Department" The whole matter
Ia then left 10 sfuture Grand Jury without
any indictments being found.

0 O'Clock Sunday morning. The boy EN-

Leaving the wick lighted he stepped out OF
the rear room into the store, and after
talking to the customer q few moments he
turned, looked back and saw an immense
flame extending to the ceiling. He at
once sounded an alarm and then worked
faithfully and with unusual presence OF
mind TO ~extinguish the fire shat had by
this time reached o can OF coal oil. The
flames were finally extinguished without
flooding the room with water by the fire
department. The loss 10 more serious
than one would suppose. looking at the
burned parts. but as a considerable guam
tity OF extracts was destroyed 1t will prob

fcle Make the Hair Fly.
Carson appeal
A fierce war has broken out between the
Enterprise and Chronicle. u runs some
thing like this:
Last evening q small boy was run over
at the corner OF b and Union streets, and
seriously injured on the left ankle-Chron-
icle.
To this the Enterprise OF the next morn.
ing responds:
The item In last evenings Chronicle
relative to Q boy being run over, is the
baldest tissue Of fslsehood ever invented.
The boy was not run over at the corner
at all, as alleged, but two doors below near
Banduzel's bakery. II was the knee and
not the ankle which was hurt, and instead
of being 9 small boy he Is almost big enough
to work in the mines.
The Chronicle comes back as follows:
The assertion that o boy was run over
near Bsnduzel's bakery Ia refuted by .
card Of the baker In another column.
The ankle was hurt. as shown TO the re-
porter last evening. The assertion That
the boy ia big enough to work in the
mines Is quite significant. Anybody
knows that The Enterprise has always
been in favor Of filing the mines with
kids, to the exclusion Of miners with fam
lilies. The Miners Union had better inter.
view the paper at once. az
The Enterprise comes back ct once Is
follows:
The drunken lunatlcs who mismanage
the Chronicle In the absence OF the regular
editor, are trying 10 drag the Enterprise
into n war with the haka ahona Of this State
The dirty loafers know that we always
have been their friend, etc.
The Chronicle staff then hold Q cabinet
meeting and reply:
