Ignorance That Is Inexcusable In this
Progressive Age.
The following letter was received by the
Managing Editor of the RECORD UNION yes.
terday:
731 n ST., SACRAMENTO, CAL,
May 7, 1889.
edUe the Sunday issue of your paper at my house.
am opposed to sunday papers on prlncipie,
and am sorry for this change in policy in the
management of the RECORD UNION
A Monday paper may be published without
Sunday work, but seven papers week cannot.
ARNOLD T. NEEDHAM,
Pastor Slxth-street NJ. Z. Church.
Why, certainly, we will SO instruct the
carrier, but at the same time we would
suggest to the reverend gentleman that
it ought to be a greater salve to his
tender conscience to have the same in
structions given in regard to the Mon
day issue, as the work on the latter is
all done on Sunday, while the work on the
Sunday edition is necessarily done on Satur-
day and Saturday night. Mr.. Needham
ought to know this as well as any man,
for reporters of this paper have often
worked on Sunday in the preparation of
his sermons for the hands of the compost
tors, who have had to set them up on Sum-
day night. Frequently the reporters are
assisted in this work by the ministers them
selves-and on Sunday. too.
We had believed that there were none so
ignorant of the work of publishing daily
newspaper as this letter seems to indicate.
We thought that everyone knew that the
publication of paper on Monday morn
ing involved the working OF the entire
force on Sunday. while the work of pub
fishing Sunday edition must be done on
Saturday night. We have never heard Mr..
Needham complain when he saw his sermon
published in the RECORD UNION on Monday
morning, that the reporter and compositors
had been compelled to work on Sunday in
order that he might have that satisfaction !;
thereby enabling him to place his arguments
before an immense audience, which he
could never have reached in any other way.
We have something further to say on this
subject in another column, which we CON-
mend to the attention of the Rev. Mr..
Needham.

A HOLE IN HIS HEAD.
Strange Freak Of a Santa
quin Suicide.
HE'S KILLED BY ALITTLE GIRL
A Scheme That Must Have Been
Deliberately Planned and
COollY Executed.

1t was a strange and horrible story
that reached q HERALD representative
last evening, and was the most re-
markable of all the remarkable suicides
that have occurred in moo ern times.
The news received is meagre, and is
to this effect. John Anderson, aged
about 81 years, and resident of Santa
quin, has for sometime past been in the
habit of amusing himself and q little
girl of about 8 years. by teaching her
how to snap caps on an old musket. It
afforded considerable enjoyment for
the child, and no one had any
idea, but that the man was merely
exerting himself to amuse her. 1t
would seem, however, from the develop
ments of yesterday morning that An
derson had another OBJECT in view, and
that was the taking of his own life.
Yesterday morning he went into the
barn and loaded the gun with powder
and ball. He arranged it on trestle
or In some way that he would be able to
get his head in front of the muzzel.
When all was prepared to his satisfac-
ton, he called in the child and asked
her to snap the gun az his head. as she
had done many times before. He then
placed his head to the muZZle, the child
pulled the trigger, and Anderson fell to
the floor corpse, with hole in his
head as large as mans fist. An inquest
was held during the day, but the YER
dict of the Coroner's jury was not
learned up to last evening

Death of Mrs. Charles Hyde.

It's with feelings of the deepest sor-
row that We announce the death of
Mrs. Charles Hyde, nee Miss Nellie
Foote, at the age of 20 years. The sad
event occurred at so am, Janusry
Oath. She was confined January 18th,
and was rapidly convalescing, when on
January Goth puerperal peritonites set
in. from which she died. Drs. Pike and
Atkin did all that medical skill could
do, but the silent destroyer took her
away. Whom the Gods love die young,
in this case is exemplified She was q
beautiful girl, devoted and afectionate
daughter, possessing an amiable dis
position and those high qualities of
mimi and heart that endeared her to
her friends, and won for her the ad-
miration and esteem of the COM
munity. The baby girl is eli re, and
we trust that in the kind disposition of
Providence it will live to be comfort
to its father. Mr.. Hyde is beside him
self with grief, and the parents stricken
down in sorrow. They have lost
lovely daughter; the hu ibs nd q devoted
wife, and the child its mother. The
community has lost one of its brightest
and most charming members, and all
sincerely sympathize with the husband
and parents in the affection, yet we can
only say, "Thy will be DONE" The
funeral will take place from the res.
idence on Sunday at noon. January
9th. Friends and relatives respectfully
invited to attend.

A RECEPTION TO THE GOV.
Appreciation Of His Services in
Behalf of Utah."
To the Editor of THE HERALD:

To the Editor of THE HERALD:
Allow me to cffer the suggestion that
the majority of the people of our Terri
tory commence preparations at once for
grand reception to his Excellency, the
Governor, on his return from Ibis visit
east" 1 have bsen an interested reader
of THE HERALD's Washington dis
patches and reports on the recent dis
cussion of Utah's claims to Statehood
before the House committee on Terri
tories, and l am forced to the conclu-
sion that Caleb did more on that occa-
sion in behalf of the afflicted people of
Gu far Territory than any other car
pet-bag official that has ever peen here.
By all means let US show our apprecIa-
ton of the good work he has performed
for US, by giving him such welcome
back as will sink into insigni6eance
the grand reception rendered him by
our City Council when he first made
his appearance in our midst. OF
course the people have been disap-
pointed in the methods he has adopted
in proving the sincerity of his alleged
intentions to further their interests, az
expressed by him in a speech he made
upon that occasion, but inasmuch as
good has been accomplished, let Us not
worry over the Governors peculiar way
of bringing it about. Let us prepare
for his return. CITIzEE.
