EDS. RECORD UNION : | have thought that
few lines relating to Auburn and sur
roundings might be interesting to some of
your readers. If space can Re spared in
the columns Of your paper, please publish
the following:
Since the good old town of Auburn has
been christened city desire to improve
and beautify has been made manifest.
Many very necessary improvements have
already been made, and are to be contip-
ued as fast as the requirement of means
viii allow. The principal street from west
Auburn to the station having become
great business thoroughfare for both ve-
hicies and pedestrians, is being finely
graded, and eventually will be shaded the
entire length of the street. Stone crossings
have been laid, hydrants conveniently
placed about the city for protection against
fire, and for all other purposes. Many fine
residences have been erected during the
past year, and more are in demand. For
the better accommodation of fruit-groyers
ara Tor the shipping of their products, suf-
hclent money has been subscribed to build
irult depot at the crossing south of the
city, and steps have been taken to induce
the railroad company to lay side track for
that purpose. The city and county are
fast increasing IN population and wealth.
We have no drones here, but q class of en-
ergeuc, enterprising settlers, determined to
succeed.
Hitherto, while Auburn could truly
boast Of lovely locality, splendid scenery.
and health giving climate, she had been in
measure unfortunately destitute of 4" fine
drives, promenades, and pleesurable places
OF resort But as the city has grown in
size and increased in population, this de-
hciency has been supplied. Our streets and
county ads have been compared with
former years. very much improved. The
rough hes been made smooth, so that a
Drive about town or into the country, so
timely cultivated, and fair to look upon
is not only inviting but very enjoyable.
But the chief, and by far the most at
tractive OF our city resorts is -Eoli, situated
a little way east of the depot. The altitude
OF this charming place commands mag
nihcent view of Auburn and Surroundings.
the majestic Sierras, Sacramento valley.
and also affords distinct view of four
other counties. Eoi embraces about one
hundred acres already highly cultivated,
and although private property. il is gener-
ous!y thrown open to the public, and has
now become the favorite place OF resort.
Two elegant residences, an observatory and
fountain adorn this lovely retreat. Fine
graded avenues for carriages, beautiful
walks FOX pedestrians, winding around in
almost every direction amid ornamental
trees, vines and flowers. On or adjoining
these grounds are splendid sites for the
erection OF a tirst-clsss hotel, suitable for
tourists, invslids and visitors. The local
patronage and daily increasing numbers
visiting Auburn, would insure safe and
profitable investment 10 any experienced
and competent landlord \. S. T.

ORIGIN OF UNCLE SANS

Speculation has recently arisen regarding
the origin of the term Uncle Sam as APP
piled to the United States Government.
In the war of 1912, between this country
and Great Britain, Ebert Anderson. of
New York, purchased in Troy, N Y, a
large amount OF pork for the American
army.
1t was inspected by Samuel Wilson. who
was popularity known as Uncle Sam"
The barrels of pork were marked "E. A,
U. s., the lettering being down by face
tious employee of Mr. Wilson.
When asked by fellow workmen the
meaning of the mark (for the letters U. S.,
for United States, were then almost entirely
new 10 them), said he did not know. I'M
less II meant Ebert Anderson and Uncle
Sam, abiding 10 Uncle Sam Wilson.
The joke took among the workmen, and
passed currently. and Uncle SAM him
self being present, was occasionally rallied
on tie increasing extent of his possessions
Soon the incident appeared in print, and
me joke gained favor rapidly, till it pene-
trafed and was recognized in every part of
the country, and, says John Frost, the Bos-
ton historian, will no doubt continue so
while the United States remains nation
1t is now firmly Embedded in the Mosaic
of our language, like " Tippecanoe," - Log
Cabin" and other short but expressive
phrases, which refer to important events in
the history of the Republic Both "Tippe-
canoe and Log Cabin" have taken on
renewed force and vitality since their adop-
ton by Hon. II. H. Warner, of Safe Cure
fame, in the naming of two of his great
standard remedies, the principal one known
as Warmers Log Cabin Sarsaparilla. They
are based upon formule so successfully used
by our ancestors in the cure of the common
ailments to which their arduous labors rem
Gered them liable in the good old log cabin
days.
The name of Warmers Safe Cure. like
wise, will be held in high esteem, as familiar
as household word, while it continues to
cure the worst forms Of Kidney Disease,
which the medical profession confesses it.

brilliant examples of thoughtful expires
sion, so address themselves to the good
taste of the reading public, and so
commend themselves for absence of
frivolity, that it is nothing less than Won
de-ful that the people who read do not
fall down in alteration before this new di-
vinity in journalism. Lest it may be
supposed that we are extrayagant in our
praise, We cite in support the following
witty and profound editorial which yester-
day graced and illumined the a1eader'
column of the Examiner.
The Princess de Sagan, one of the leaders of
the hdut monde of Paris has been bitten by a
pet monkey which has since died from HYDRO
phobia. Mrs. Langtry should muzzIe Freddy
Gebhardt.
No one will contend, after reading that
eftusion, at once SO witty, original and
brilliant, that our contemporaries claims
to leadership are deniable 1t is in order
for all the press to now fall into line and
confess the master hand that this guinea
stamp proves to be upon the helm of the

If TIE Berlin Commissioners are sue
cessful in making Germany recognize
Mataafa as the rightful ruler in Samoa, the
difficulty viii be practically settled Such
recognition will OF course mean the return
OF old King Malietoa, who was so cruelty
deporte1 from his native land. 1t now APP
pears that such recognition win be forced
upon Germany; that she viii not be able
to resist the claims of justice upon which
the demand rests. Mr. Brett, of the Auck-
land S'ar, and who is now upon this coast,
is reported as saying to San Francisco
newspaper:
When Maiietoa was deposed there was . very
strong feeling against the Germans throughout
New Zealand and australia. THIS feeling was
Intensified when the news was received OF war
having been declared against Mstaafs. and all
the newspapers. especially the Auckland Star
and the Herald, spoke out strongly against tue
position assumed by the Germans. The attitude
taken by America was universally applauded
Throughout New Zealand aud Australia. and no
doubt the prompt action in sending down the
war ships and The determined stand taken by
america as the immediate cause of the change
OF fort on the part of Germany. The feeling
II New Zealand and Australia is. however, that
England and America should insist on Nalietoa
being restored to Samoa.
And this is unquestionably the sentiment
Of the civilized world, and while we may,
because of its attitude, be compelled TO ex-
cept the German Government. it is safe to
say that were the question submitted to
the thinking German people to-day, their
sense of justice would lead them to concur
in the demand for the restoration of the
old King.

BOULANGEh.

The question of the true aims aud posi-
ton of General Boulanger will continue
to interest the public until the drama in
which he is so conspicuous an actor is
played out. For ten days past he has
been posing as an exile and in the mean
time, we are told, his "popularity" in
France is augmenting. But in fact there
nave been no new developments of the
scheme by which he expects to reach the
seat of authority where he hopes to be
able-if he is to be credited with sincerity
N his declaration-to maintain the Re-
public without "parliamentism, whatever
that may mean. That he has very large
following is not to be denied, and that it
is augmenting in force is asserted. But
We cannot divest ourselves of the belief
that it all represents enmity to a constitu-
tlonal form of government. For it is not
following that is unit 1t is made I'D
OF motley elements that by no sort of
political alchemy can be resolved into a
harmonious mass. The General is figure
around which they can agree to meet
without flying at one another's Threats
Beyond that We do not believe they can
unite upon any proposition. Boulanger is
himself aware of this, and hence his secret
scheme is to make himself Dictator and
hold the antagonistic elements of his fol-
lowing at arms length in fear of each
other And such an outcome is not with
out the possibilities, but it cannot be per
manent, and if it is attained it will be
red with the blood of Frenchmen.

GOVERNOR STANFORD, after inspecting
the work at the Leland Stanford Jr. Uni
versity, has expressed the belief that it
will be ready for the reception of pupils
within two years, possibly within eighteen
months. 1t develops also that the scheme
of the University in its economic features
is to be much broader than the general
public has understood the original inten-
ton to be. For pupils are to be so accom-
odated that they can avail of the benefits
of the University for about the bare cost OF
food and raiment-an outlay so small that
it opens the doors of the institution to the
poorest, and thus affords to the deserving
youth of the age, opportunities for educa-
ton that cannot be paralleled by any
scheme as yet known to the educational
world. The full flower of this great be-
nefcence by Governor stanford and wife
will more excite the wonder and admira-
ton of the people than the most vivid
fancy can now suggest.

The crop reports the RECORD UNION
has published this week are calculated to
make the hearts of Californians very glad
and very thankful. Nothing short of sud
den disaster or reversal of present condi-
tions can now deprive the people of the
State Of an abundant harvest. All the
conditions are of the best, and nature holds
out to us promise that is full to the brim
with good. Of course the next twenty
days involve the fate of the grain crops
but SO far as the present is concerned, the
situation could not well promise better.
The uniform feeling of satisfaction, the
congratulations with which men greet
each other, the universal feeling of con-
tent, all testify to the confession that the
agriculture of the country is substructural
to all other prosperity.

THE Butler Pa. woman who ON We'd
nesday coolly shot her husband, after
warning him of her intention to do so if
he attempted to again beat her, which he
proceeded to do, may be none the less
guilty of bad example, since the killing
was the result of her refusal to retire at
midnight and cease reading. Thus. II
would throw light upon the question Of
her justification if it could be known what
she was reading. If the book was from
the pen Of Amelia Rives, or of Mrs. Ath-
erton, or any of that class, over which she
was burning the midnight oil, it is by no
means certain that the advice of the diving
husband was sound, when, as he weltered
IN his gore, she asked him if she should
not dispatch herself also, and he responded
n the negative. 1t is bad enough. no
matter what the literary study, to have
dowdy wife around in the morning as the
result of midnight reading, and hence
there may have been a deeper meaning
than Is at first apparent in the husbands
deposition which he made, that he was to
blanche may have concluded that the
man who chooses such help-meet ought
not to murmur when she fills him with
cold lead for interfering physically with
her small-hour literary recreations. But
to be serious, the man who has sworn to
cherish the weaker" and to protect her
from harm, who forgets for one moment that
the mother of his children cannot receive
blow from him without his manhood be-
ing disgraeed and his sex being sha1ned de-
serves to be met by the woman with weapons
OF deadly character when he ATTEMPTS to
exemplify his brutality by beating her. If
women cannot have the protection OF those
who in duty are bound TO shield them. we
must not be surprised that they now and
then do precisely as men would do under
similar circumstances. If the Butler man
had beaten and bruised, cruelty and mali
ciously, one of his own sex, who was phv
sically incapable of defending himself
with the weapons nature furnishes, and the
brutal assailant had again attempted to
crush him, the weaker man, fearing great
bodily harm, would be justified in resort
ing, after due warning of his intention, to
the use of firearms, and this woman had
equal right to such defense. That the as
sailant was her husband, that he even NAV
have cause for anger in her refusal to COM
ply with reasonable command, does not
affect the question. The wife-heater pre-
sumed upon the weakness of his victim,
and she resorted to justiiable mans to save
herself from great harm, possibly DEATH
The world has come to be very charitable
towards women who meet wife-beaters as
this one was met, and no jury viii be found
10 bring woman to conviction for treating
these brutes as men would treat them.
