A BOOMERANG.
"He's Nothing But Green Dutchman.
Pinch Hin,

"He's Nothing But Green Dutchman.
Pinch Him."
There has been music in the air for sew
eral days in the neighborhood of the Per-
manent Exposition Building. Some weeks
ago W. B. Maydwell was the successful ap-
plicaDt, amongst class of several, for the
position of manager of that building. He
was supposed to be the best man for the
place and was accordingly chosen From
the first some of the Directors seemed to
have taken dislike to the manager, and
bis acts have been scrutniZed very closely.
Some days ago among the visitors TO the
exhibit building was German who had
been in the country but short time, who
could understand but little of the English
language, but who desired to purchase some
land in this vicinity
He was very much impressed with the
Yolo exhibits and asked the manager, Mr..
Maydwell, for a letter of introduction to
someone at Woodland. who was posted on
the resources and could aid him in making
location. His request was complied with;
the letter was written, and the Teutonic
stranger left the building highly pleased
with what he mad seen, and deeply i'm
; pressed with the marked degree of respect
and courtesy he had been shown by the
manager.
His ticket was good to San Francisco, so
he thought he would go on to Oakland
first, see some friends there and after rest
ing few days take a run up to Woodland
and invest in lands. While talking to his
Oakland friends, some of whom had been
in America for score of years, he spoke of
his visit to the Exhibit building, of the fine
display of fruits, of the managers glowing
description of Yolo, and taking the letter
out of his pocket, said: "And here is a
letter of introduction he gave me to the
man whom | am going to see, whose land
desire to purchase" He handed the let
ter to one of his friends who began 10 laugh
immediately. At the bottom of the letter
he found the following: Hes nothing
but green Dutchman; pinch him." When
this was explained to the recent importa-
ton from Germany" he became very much
enraged and the letter was given to an
Oakland paper for publication.
1t is needless to say that Yolo lost one
customer, and the immigrant says he will
never come north of Alameda again ex-
cept to whip the man who wrote him down
a green Dutchman."
This matter was fully canvassed in the
Executive Committee yesterday, and the
Secretary instructed to write to Mr.. Mayd-
well asking him for his resignation.
Another objection to his management
was the fact that twelve out of fifteen of
his established local correspondents were
real estate agents, and out of the entire lot
only two were farmers.

An ExplanRtion.

What is this nervous trouble" with
which so many seem now to be afflicted Z
If you will remember, few years ago the
word " malaria" was comparatively I'm.
known; to-day it is as common as any
word in the English language; yet this
word covers only the meaning of another
word used by our forefathers in times past.
Sc it is with nervous diseases, as theys
malaria are intended to cover wha Jnr
grandfathers called biliousneSs, and all are
caused by troubles that arise from dis
eased condition of the liver, which. in per-
forming its functions, finding it cannot
dispose of the bile through the ordinary
channel, is compelled to pass it off through
the system, causing nervous troubles, ma
laria, bilious fever, etc. You who are suf-
fering can well appreciate a cure. We
recommend Green's August Flower It's
cures are marvellous.

BLEEDING TO DEATH.
A Convict at Folsom Prison Attempts to
End His Life.

About nine o'clock on Sunday night a
guard doing duty in the State Prison at
Folsom made the discovery that Edward
Callahan, a convict, doing life sentence
from Santa Barbara county, had opened a
vein in his arm, with the apparent inten-
ton of bleeding himself to death. The
prisoner was observed through the wicket
of his cell, with his arm hanging out of bed
from which copious stream of blood was
flowing into small basin which had been
placed on the cell floor to receive it. The
cell door was promptly unlocked, stimu-
liant procured from the dispensary and ad-
mlnistered to the unfortunate man, who. BY
the time the discovery was made, was
almost exhausted from the hemorrhage.
Callahan was Immediately moved to the
intirmary and by the timely action and
skill of the doctor there, the effusion was
checked, and the mans death, in all
probability, averted. He is not altogether
out of danger now, but hopes are enter
tanned for him.
Callahan does not belong to the criminal
class, and was sentenced to the State Prison
Tor avenging an attempt outrage on his
wife. He has been there some fifteen
months, during which time he has been an
exceptionally well conducted prisoner, and
valuable workman. His act is attributed
to dependency and blighted prospects.

A. L. Hart, counsel for the Board Of

Daylight Burglary.

Yesterday forenoon Mrs. Harry L.
Stephens, who resides at 517 Tenth street
heard noise in one of the rooms in the
house, and went to ascertain the cause. AS
she did so a man came out and rushed for
the street door. She caught him by the
arm, but he struck her hand, made her
loosen her grip and escaped. An iDvesti-
CATION showed that the man had rihed a
bureau, taking 500 in money, an old-fash-
Toned silver watch, worn smooth, and a
plain gold ring. In order to reach the
plumber the burglar took the marble top off
the bureau and smashed the bottom out OF
the top drawer to get at the contents of the
second drawer.

H STREET TO BE IMPROVED.

improvement of H street. Notwithstanding

condition. The improvement from Tenth
to Twentieth street will cost upwards of
$4,000, quite proportion of which will be

Economy in Prices Shown by Compar-
ison With Other Textbook Series.
The following very carefully prepared
comparison made between the cost of the
! State series of school textbooks and the
prices heretofore paid for the books of pri-
vate publishers will be of interest to all.
Let 1t be noted that the price in both in
stances is the retail price, the price at which
the books can be bought from retail deal
ers at points most remote from Sacra-
mento:
Swintons First Reader, 122 pages .........S0 cents
Bancroft's First Reader 90 pages.........20 cents
Al pleton First Reader, 90 pages.........5 cents
McGuffey'S First Reader, Sc pages.......20 cents

state Third Reader SO pages.............65 cents
Appletons Fifth Reader, AL pages...........SI Is
| Bancrofts Fifth Reader, $50 pages........... So
McGuffeys Fifth Reader, $50 pages ............ IS
Swintons Fifth 90
But the comparison, so far, is not fair to
the State series. 1t must be remembered
that the State series is so graded as to put
| the whole reading course, which is equal
to that of Bancroft's or McGuffey's, into
three books. The total price of these three
books is 81 %, as against 50 so for McGuf-
| fey's series of five books. 81 60 for Ban

The elementary grammar, physiology and
two Biographies, now making, will very
largely increase the number. The annual
gain on books already made cannot be less
than $4,000, and only so much of their
