Help the charleston Sufferers.

In accordance with arrangements pub
lished yesterday, contributions will to-day
be collected throughout the city for relief
of the suffering at Charleston, caused by
the recent earthquake. The movement in
this direction is in unison with simil or ac-
ton being taken in most of the large cities
of the United States. and one in which the
warm-hearted people of Sacramento will
gladly claim part 1t is believed that I'M
der the plan adopted, for everybody to give
ten cents, or as much more as their ability
and inclination prompts, nearly all-men,

an opportunity to express, in this practical

distant, though sister city.

Youthful Prisoners,

Yesterday morning Deputy Sheriff of
Yolo county brought from Woodland, en-
route to the State Prison at Folsom, three
boys, ranging IN ages from II to Il years,
who are under sentence of two years each
for burglary. Their names were John Cul-
Ter, William Maxwell and John Brown, and
their appearance was decidedly tough"
People who saw them freely expressed the
belief that it was a serious error to send
such mere children to prison, there to asso-
ciate with hardened criminals, leaving the
institution full-tiedged graduates in crime
The Woodland Democrat, however, speaks
of them as follows, showing that they are
already far advanced in rascality: These
boys are already expert burglars, and have
no more aversion for prison cell than a
person born in one would have. In fact
they seemed pleased when they found that
they would be in Folsom for q couple of
years. The other day they were overheard,
while discussing schemes for escaping, and
which conversation would fill a veteran
jail-breaker with envy at their knowledge
of such matters. 1t was found that one of
their plans-an the plan which induced
them in great measure to plead guilty
was to receive their sentence, and while on
their way to prison with a Sheriff, to pro-
cure a sufficient quantity of red pepper
with which to dose the eyes of the official
at the proper time. When in this condi-
ton, as it is arranged, he will be knocked
out with the nearest piece Of car furniture.
After this remarkable performance the
young gentlemen will pursue course they
have marked out plainly. They also dis
cussed the merits of several Woodland
dwellings in a burglar point of view. and
expatiated at great length upon the glitter
ing silyerware they had seen through front
doors, and which would be so easy to carry
off. Such are samples of the talk these
boys INDUCED in, in jail. Sheriff Beamer
and his deputies will look after the red
pepper business, so that at least that part
Of their scheming will prove of little avail
Two years training at Folsom may change
their ideas of prison life

Professor William T. Welcler, Superin-
tendent of Public instruction, has issued
the following circular for the benefit of
those having charge of public schools: Il
beg leave to say to those who have made
contracts for the purchase of textbooks to
be used in the public schools, which con-
tracts shall not have expired at the ex-
piration of one year from the time of COM
pletion of the electrotype plates of the
corresponding textbooks in the State series,
that the Act approved February %, 1885,
requires them to go into use at that time
And, on the other hand, the Constitution of
the United States, in Section 10 of Article
l., says: No State shall s. i j. pass any
law impairing the obligation of contracts
- Since in all matters wherein it is
legitimately applicable, the Constitution of
the United States is the supreme law of the
land, it is my opinion that the contracts
referred TO in the first paragraph above will
have to stand until the end of the time for
which they were made. In all other cases
the State books must be used. The electro
type plates of the first reader, speller and
third reader were finished July 10, 1856.
The plates of the arithmetic and of the
second reader Will be finished within few

Teachers Certificates.

| EDS. REcoRD-UNIoN In your issue of
! yesterday correspondent, y, shows his
wondrous wisdom and superiority by criti-
t oising the report of one of the leading edu-
Gators in our State. If X. had taken a lit
tie of his own medicine, and known what
he was talking about, he would never have
penned that letter. He takes much unc-
ton to himself when he says, "If Mr.
SWEET was posted in the school laws of
California" etc As if X could teach Mr..
SWEET anything in school law.
If Y. will pardon me, be may here learn
that John SWEET, of the Girls High School
of San Francisco, is not contending for the
graduates of the high school, but for the
graduates of the Normal cass-a post
graduate course, open only to high school
graduates The advantages there offered
are equal, if not superior, to those at San
Jose. If X. were acquainted with the his
tory of school work in this State, he would
know that Mr.. SWEET has contended in
every way for about ten years to have that
Normal class recognized and placed on the
same footing as the State Normal school and
the State University. The State Board have
constantly refused to recognize his claims
In Alameda county graduates are recog-
nized enough to give them second grade
certificate.
A desire to have the graduates of the
Normal school in San Francisco recog-
nized is a very different thing from asking
certificates for high school graduates. Please
ask Y. to see that his premise is correct be-
fore he develops another such wise conclu-
sion. A.

A Matrimonial Party.

EDS. RECORD UNION A very pleasant
social event took place here on the 18th in
slant, in the marriage of George F. John
son and Miss Annie De Wore. The services
were performed by Justice G. Atkinson,
with many friends of the happy couple
present. Miss Alice Lancaster and Miss
Kate Ford acted as bridesmaids. After the
ceremony the company returned to their
home, where q gay throng awaited them,
and time of merry-making was enjoyed
by all. Following this fine supper was
partaken OF, after which a joyful moon
light dance at Mr.. Smiths grove was in
dulged in, with fitting romance for the oc-
casion. The young married couple are
favorites in our society, and the event of
this marriage was pleasing one to all who
know them. +.

Preliminary Survey,

P. G. Everett, the engineer in charge, has
started out with his party on the prelimi-
nary survey Of the Sacramento Valley,
Lake and Mendocino Railway. This sur
vey will give the public some idea of where
the right OF way will have to be secuted.
Starting from q halfmile either north or
south of Woodland, the line will run
almost due west, passing through Willow
Oak Park and Robert MooreS farm, and
thence by Madison, in direct line to Ca
pay. 1t is thought probable that it will be
less expensive to keep the road on the upper
side of Cache creek, thereby saving the ex-
pense Of bridging that stream twice. The
Directors are to hold another meeting soon
when more definite announcements may
be made. But it must not be forgotten that
the final success depends on an increase in
the subscription. Hon. N. Beclltel, of Men
docino county, states that Mendocino is
solid for the Cache creek and Woodland
route, and that 100000 has already been
subscribed in that county. The people
there are all anxious to see the road built

Prompt Reform of Bodily Evils.

The prompt reform of those bodily evils
enfeebled digestion, incomplete assimila-
ton, inactivity of the liver, kidneys and
bladder, as well as the nervous symptoms
which these ailments are especially prone
to beget, is always accomplished by the use
of Hostetters Stomach Bitters, a medicine
accredited by physicians, pronounced pure
by analysis, and eminently wholesome and

preferable to unpalatable and indigesible

Yesterday morning J. Elmwood observed
the body of man floating in the Sacra-
mento, near the Yolo bank, about six
miles below the town of Washington, and
secured it. Justice Scully. of Washington,
was notified, and went down to hold an
inquest. The body had not been in the
water many days; the clothing was that OF
a laboring man. There were no means OF
proving the identity of the deceased, and
the jury could only return a verdict to the
effect that the deceased, to them unknown,
had come to his death by drowning, but
whether it was accidental or otherwise
could not be determined. The remains
were brought TO the city by undertaken
Kavanaugh, and last evening Thomas
Graham identified them as those of the
steamer deckhand Cornelius Bonner, who
committed suicide by jumping into the
river near the foot of \ street.

LOCAL INTELLIGENCE.
The Farmers and Politics.

In response to a call made by Temescal
and Eden Oranges of Alameda county,
representatives of several Oranges met yes
terday at Changers Hall to scan the politi-
cal horizon, and see what could be done.in
the way of forming political party out of
the disaffected ranks of the Democracy and
Republican parties. About fifty delegates
were present, among them large proper
ton that were here at the Farmers and
Grangers' Convention some months since.
A majority did not seem to know what
they had been called together for, and it
was some time before an organization upon
any Ineligible basis could be formed.
S. +. Coulter was named as Chairman,
but refused to accept the rendered honor.
ellis Doty also declined. The Democratic
party was good enough for him, and he
thought it good enough for anybody.
Judge Blackwood also declined the dis
tinguished position, claiming that his hear
ing was not good William Johnston was
asked ID accept, but he could not be caught
mapping and most decidedly declined. Mr..
Dewey, Of the Pacific Rural Press, proved
conclusively that the saying that a
newspaper man will take anything in
sight was not true, for he also would not
allow them to thrust the honor upon him.
l.. B. Anyway, of Alameda, said he would
not accept under any circumstances Hav-
ing thus gone through all the avail
able material without securing a Chair
man, the meeting fell back upon
Judge Blackwood and uotwithstand-
ing his protestations and deafness he
was forced to occupy the distinguished po-
sitiOn. The Judge seemed TO be after all
the man the meeting wanted, for he started
IN by proposing to put third ticket in the
field. They could if they desired select
men from the Republican, Prohibition and
Democratic tickets, and then give it the
undivided support Of the farm and Grange
element. He thought great care should be
used IN making the selection, especially in
naming a Legislative ticket
A. J. krull was chosen Vice-President,
and Z. T. Petit Secretary.
Committees were appointed upon Gre
dentials, Resolutions and Order of Bust
ness, and the Convention then adjourned
to A. NJ. to-day.
The Committee on Resolutions were
hard at work last night and will submit a
report Of extraordinary length this morn
ing. They will report against the adoption
of the Heath amendment to the Constitu-
ton. In favor of State ownership in water,
the same to be controlled by legislative
enactment. In favor of welcoming to their
ranks all labor organizations and all kick
ers from the different political parties.
They Will have a lengthy resolution in
favor of the popular side of the silver ques-
ton. They say there should be no private
ownership in railroads, telegraph or tele-
phone lines, but that they all should be
owned and operated by the Government.

Another Attempted robbery.

Shortly before l o'clock yesterday morn
ing, as special officers Paige and Fredericks
were proceeding up o street, they met
person near Fifteenth who informed them
that tootpad had just attempted to stand
up h0meward- bound citizen at the corner
Of Fifteenth. The officers fastened to the
spot, and learned the would-be robber had
climbed over the fence into the yard of C.
81. Eldred, having been seen by man in
the latter's employ, who was aroused by
the blowing of whistles. Special officer
Brannigan now joined the other officers,
and they were sure they had the rascal
cornered in the yard. Paige ran to guard
the alley, Brannigan guarded another part
of the yard, and Fredericks undertook
to climb the high board fence
to drag the culprit from his
hiding-place. he got as far as the top, and
was about to descend on the inner side
when q pair Of handouts which he carried
in his pants rear pocket caught on the
fence, and the officer hung for some time
suspended between heaven and earth.
Something had to give way, of course, and
il proved to be the pants. RipW they
went, and the officer fell into the yard
leaving a quarter-section of his trowsers on
the top of the fence. The premises were
thoroughly searched by the officers, but the
refugee could not be found. If these foot
pads continue TO ply their vocation in that
part Of the city they will be apt to run
against something before long, as the citi-
zens are beginning to get their mad up.
