THE Alta asks, "What would a house-to-
house inspection in San Francisco reveal ?"
That is suggestive question. As SAM
tary measure it would show unquestiona-
bly, that San Francisco is worse off than
Philadelphia, where the results of an in
spection have fairly staggered the staid
people of the Quaker City. The truth is
half the world has no comprehensive idea
of the filth in which the other half lives.
A house-to-house inspection is needed in
Sacramento, but there would be no such
startling revelations here as would result
in San Francisco. Our streets are broad,
the blocks are cut by wide alleys, and most
of the houses occupy unusually broad
areas of ground Hence the coneealment
of filth here is never a matter of long pos
sibility. Nevertheless, the cesspool sys-
TEN, the nonresident landlordism and the
neglected house drainage in many places,
as well as the failure to clean out filth pits
and remove garbage, leaves the demand for
house-to-house inspection unanswerable
and it should be ordered now, before the
winter rains set in, when it can be done
only under adverse circumstances.

SPECIAL INTEREST To OLD MAIDS

correspondent at neu Dellu, W. l., says
When the census of the town was taken
last month it was found that there was a
population of 37S, including 29S males, 60
married women, one widow (engaged), two
maids (engaged) and the rest children. A
teacher was advertised for to take charge OF
the village school, and during twelve
months that temple of learning was pre-
sided over by fourteen schoolma'ams. sue

as they arrived here. Six have been
married out of the kitchen of the
McGinn House, the local hotel, and Nc
CHM is now chasing the husband of
the last one around with a shotgun. The
present incumbent at the school is a gren-
adler from Michigan, and the Directors
think she will last for some time.

The Starving Labrador Fishermen.

QUEBEC, October Sth-A Government
steamer leaves for Labrador this week,
loaded with fuel and -four, to alleviate the
sufferings of the poor fishermen and their
families at that place. 1t is said the fish
cries have proved almost a complete fail
ure. The cod and mackerel have disap-
peared, and porpoises have been so scarce
that the oil factories have had to close
down, throwing number of hands out of
employment. These have been obliged to
beg for living, as articles of food have
long since reached such fabulous prices
that they are beyond the reach of the poor.
Their supply of flour has been entirely
exhausted, and to add to their suffering
and privations, the scurvy has made its
appearance, and many have died of it.
The sufferings of the women and children
beggars description, the little ones dying
in the arms of their mothers, who have no
nourishment to give them.

If statistics prove anything, they estab-
fish the truth that there is such a thing as
an epidemic of killing-the killing of
human beings. This has been illustrated
in this immediate vicinity within the past
few weeks. The shooting of one human be-
ing has been followed by the shooting and
stabbing of number of Others in rapid
succession. In the taking of one human
life there must be suggestions to the pas

MARY ANDERSON, the accomplished
American actress, made the most impor-
tant appearance of her life in Sacramento
in fact this city is the place of her ma
tivity, as we understand. The telegraph
gives the lady free advertisement by The
transmission to the Associated Press of an
interview with the lady, in which she ex-
presses her determination to visit Sacra-
mento. Miss Anderson will be cordially
received not so much because at a very
early period in her life she was 50 fortu-
nate as to claim this place as her home, as
because she is a most prominent exponent
of the best work of the drama Miss An
derson appears to have been very suddenly
moved by the praiseworthy sentiment to
return to Sacramento and give an account
of herself, but better late than never.

Marbles by the Millions.
nndlanapolis Minute. !


A few days ago, at the Office of the
custom surveyor, reporter picked up
an item which excited his curiosity.
He was told that certain firm paid
about $3.50 duty on the marbles i'm
ported from Germany.
IAN invoice of marbles said the re-
porter, ION which the duty amounts to
that much, certainly must contain
enough of these playthings to keep all
the boys in the United States busy for
some time"
Well, said the deputy custom house
surveyor, you can count for yourself.
The invoice consists of sixty cases, each
case containing / 900 gross of marbles. !"
Taking in consideration the difference
in the size of the marbles, and that
each case was said to contain 125, 600
marbles, this would make the entire
invoice consist of about 5000, 900, or
enough to give each school boy in the
United States at least a marble or two.
But as the firm referred to is not sup
posed to control the entire trade in
marbles of the nited States, the boys
are entitled to more liberal supply. If
the stock just imported were held for
the Indianapolis boys, division would
result in each boy getting about $50
AldLD4Oo. II 10 LOO DLOOdOAOy AOhCfSL,
that this supply would last much longer
than the dozen or two of marbles which
the average boy now manages to get
away with each season.
Marbles belong to a class Of play
things which can not very easily be
broken or otherwise destroyed, still
they disappear in somewhat mysteri-
Gus manner, and of the s, 900, 900 which
have just come across the ocean, form
ing bulky, but not very valuable part
of the cargo Of one of our large ocean
steamers, not many will be left in a
year from now and new supply will
have TO be ordered from Steinach, in
Thuringia, where nearly all the marbles
come from. Steinach is in the Some
berg district, the principal industry of
which is the manufacture of toys, mar
bles being one of the main articles pro
duced. The trade distinguishes be-
tween two classes of marbles, the glass
marble, which is the prettiest and most
expensive article, the marbles with a
porcelain finish and painted surface,
and the common stone marble. The
glass marbles. some of which show very
handsome designs, are produced in the
glassworks, while the others are made
from stone which has been ground to
dust

rwo IrOn-clad '.Hand-to-H Hand Fights.

Two IrOn-Clad Hand-GO- HAMA Fights
tCmcinnati Commercial Gazette.l
There have never been but two hand
to-hand' fights between iron -clads IN the
history of naval warfare. One took
place in Hampton Roads, between the
Monitor and the Merrimac, as we all
know. The other was ct 1qufque, Peru,
between the Peruvian ram HueScar and
the Chilian iron-clad Esmeralda. Ad-
Iniral Grau, a Peruvian of German an
cestry, commanded the former, and
Arthur Pratt, a Chilian of English an
cestFy, the latter. The Huescar
was the swifter and more power
full vessel, and struck the other amid
ships. AS she was sinking, Grau
struck her again, and as the two
vessels came together, Pratt sprang on
board the Huescar, with two reyolyers,
aud killed seven or eight men before he
was shot down His vessel, the Esme
ralda, with all on board, went to the
bottom of the ocean, and he lay alone
on the deck of the victor, surrounded
by the bodies of the men he killed.
For this desperate act the Chlllanos
have made him their ideal hero, and
there is monument to his memory in
nearly every town. Streets and shops,
saloons, mines, opera-houses and even
lotteries are named IN his honor, and
the greatest national tribute is to de-
Stroy the custom house in order to erect
his monument in the most conspicuous
place in the principal city.
