Last Sunday, Mrs. Susan Cammett, who
for several years had been an inmate of the
Napa Insane Asylum, was considered suffi-
GENTLY recovered to permit her being given
in charge of her friends. John Cammett
her husband, took her to his home, IVA
Clay street. Yesterday afternoon Mrs.
Cammett informed her landlady that she
intended going out to purchase some car
bolic acid, and soon after left the house.
When Ida, Mrs. Cammett's daughter,
returned from school, she found her
mother in bed. She was acting SO strangely
that she became alarmed and summoned
the lapdlady, who sent for a physician, but
before his arrival the unfortunate lady died.
On table in the room was sheet of note
paper, on which was written the follow
ing:
To Ny Husband: You have always been kind
and good. / have always been a milestone

The Oakland Tribune thus refers to the
new appointee to deputyship in the office
Of State Librarian:
Frank c. Jordan, who for the last five
years has been in the office of his brother
in-law, Hon. Henry Vrooman, leaves to-
day for Sacramento. to take a position as
deputy in the State Library. He has been
appointed to this position b. the State
Librarian, t. II. Wallis, for the term of
four years, ending April g. 1890. 1t will
be remembered that at the last regular ses-
sion Of the Legislature five trustees were
chosen who were favorable to the re-
election of Mr.. Wallis, and by these trus-
tees he was reelected for the term Of
four years, from April 6, 1856. The an
pointment OF Mr.. Jordan to a deputyship.
is graceful compliment by Mr.. Wallis in
recognition of the hearty and Eunanimous
support given him in the caucus bv the
Republican delegation from Alameda coun-
ty. 1t goes without saying that in the per-
son OF Mr.. Jordan the compliment has been
most worthily bestowed, and meets the
most cordial Endorsement of all parties
Frank is one of Oakland's representative
young men, and it will be no discredit to
this city to have him at the Capital as a
type Of the new generation of 0aklanders.
Frank by name and frank by nature, oblig-
ing, genial and uniformly courteous; we'll
informed, industrious and steady, he will
be an important addition to the very eff
ficient corps of officials who for four years
are to manage our State Library

the last two sessions of the Legislature,
connected with clerical work in the Senate,
and won host of warm friends. They
are gratified at his recent appointment
Mr.. Jordan will bring his family to this
city in a few weeks for permanent settle
nent.

faction of a majority of the taxpayers ?''
TO the first assertion l reply, to draw it
mildly. Taxpayer is mistaken. | took
occasion to refer the matter to the District
Attorney of this county, who is my legal
adviser, who gave it as his opinion that
Mrs. +. Jones had written contract with
the Trustees of Natoma District for an
eight months school. l would respect
fully refer Taxpayer to Section 1888 of
California school law, which reads as fol-
lows; " In case of the dismissal of any
ten contract entered into between such
teacher and Board of Trustees for alleged
unhtness, or incompetency, or violation of
rules, the teacher may appeal to the School
superintendent, and if the Superintendent
decides that the removal was made with
out good cause, the teacher SO removed
must be reinstated."
| would also respectfully refer "Tax-
payer, and citizens generally who think
have oyerstepped my authority, to my let
ter of instructions to the Trustees of Ma

my office, and which reads as follows

Now, therefore, by the authority con-
ferred upon me by Section 1893. California

stated their reasons for their course OF ac-
ton, and in my best judgment no charges

In view of the foregoing, will Tax

to " Taxpayers query, Why we elect

No Editor Need Amply.

A reporter asked the Governors Private
Secretary yesterday if there were any more
pardons to record. When he was informed
that there were none, the news-gatherer
ventured to say that he thought the COM
mutation of Brick was enought to last for
a time, and intimated that if Brick could
obtain pardon or Communication, any one
else was surely entitled to one. Never
you mind, replied the Secretary, as sug-
gestive smile played over his handsome
features, just you wait until newspaper
reporter or an editor comes before us for a
pardon. You will find sthat sympathy
and executive clemency will then te dealt
