Prehistoric SCULPTURE.

There is shown in the Exposition of
Anthropological Sciences at Paris the cast
of two horses heads, found in such posi-
tion that the men of science are war
ranted in placing them at the very begin
ming of mems efforts to create works of
art, The originals are carved from bone,
but are so fragile with age that they will
not bear the light. The power and know
ledge of anatomy shown by the prehistoric
cave-man who carved these horses are said
to be most surprising. Another work Of
great merit is the carved picture of man
crouching as he throws a javelin at an
aurochs, an animal now extinct in Europe
Horses, DEER fish, and even the sculptured
figure Of a cat, are exhibited, though il
was supposed that the cat, certainly the
domesticated cat, came from Egypt within
historical times A study of these seulp-
lures or bone reveals the fact that at least
ore color, red, was used to enhance their
effect.

THE CRUELTY CASE.
A. PAGNI MAKES HIS DEFENSE IN a
LETTER.
BE Is Bitter Against His Neighbors and
Has no Kind Words For
His Mother.

1nyesterday's RECORD UNION there was
detailed account of the unflial conduct of
A. Pagni towards his aged mother. Late
last night Pagni came to the RECORD UNION
office with the following letter in his de-
Tense. In reply to question he said that
his wife wrote the letter and that the ex-
pressions in it are jointly those of himself
and wife, that he told her what to write
and some parts she suggested. The letter
speaks for itself:
To the Editors Of the RECORD UNION: /
wish TO correct a statement made in the
morning paper. | am g hard working
man and try hard 10 support nv family
and pay my honest debts, and wish 10 in
form the public and my friends that The
statement made by my dago neighbors is
false and untrue. | support my mother
the same as the rest Of my family, every
thing she asks for is given 10 her, if it is in
the house, as can prove by my American
neighbors.
Those green Italians at the garden are
only jealous because | am getting along
better than they are; their fine vegetable
peddler can hardly make enough to pay
expenses and buy little meccaroni; and
talking about feeding and clothing my
OF his babies all day, while his wife does
her washing; when she comes home they
give her an apron full of haIfrotten vegeta-
bles, such as tomatoes that has been taken
to market and brought home with the
juice running out. One time they gave
her piece of old yellow bacon, that dog
could not eat, and piece Of stale sour
dough bread. That is the way they feed
her.
AS for olotLos .T,oE IL -
baYe seen one calico dress that cost 35 or 40
cents, and am sure il was earned by pack
ing the babies. My mother has lived in
the house with us four years, aud l know
that there is not one Italian woman that
would live with her half the time She
hates my wife because she is an American,
and has been trying to MAKE trouble be-
tween me and my wife ever since she has
been here. She told one of the neighbors
that she wished my wife would die when
she wes sick, es there SCENE to be no other
way of getting rid of her.
l also think if G. Aleksa would attend to
his own business { little better, and not be
shooting off his pistol at midnight every
night to make folks think there is thieves
around, he would do a little better, as he is
IN danger of getting in trouble if the thing
continues. His statement about cruelty to
my mother is only one of his Taco lies that
he is so used to telling-our neighbors all
know better.
| would like TO know what that genial
young Jackass of q Churchman knows
about my business he only wants to be
smart, but everybody is acquainted with
him, and we think he had better look at
home, as we hear that he is not any too
good to his own family.
And think that if those green Italians
from the broncoh bills had any sence they
would not try to bring trouble in the
house when my wife was sick in bed be-
tween life and death, but they have not
been in Cali long enough to be civilized
yet. A. PAGNI.

The following paragraph dppeared in last

DR.. Piukham called at the Bee office today to
say that he believed the story to be groundess.
Last Friday he attended Mrs. Pagni at child
birth. 30 inadequate is the house for the ac.
commodation of the family that the doctor
compelled Psgui to sleep in the barn on Friday
night. " The little cabin referred TO, where the
mother of Pasni sleeps" said the doctor, " is

prlved of food
DR.. Pinkham called at the RECORD UNION
Office yesterday forenoon, requesting fur
ther particulars regarding the identity of
the Pagni family. He said there was g
family living in the neighborhood de-
scribed by the RECORD UNIONS article
whom he had visited professionally. He
did not know whether the article had refer

ments made caused him to think that pos.
sibly it had. If so, there we're some exsg-
gerRtions.
DR.. Pinkham was informed that possibly
he had some other family in his mind; that
the statements made regarding the Pagni
family were true in every particular; that
they were not exaggerated; that the fact;
We're obtained from reputable persons liY.
ing in the neighborhood and that what the
RECORD UNIONS reporter saw and heard
were absolute facts, and indeed that the
whole truth had not been told.
DR.. Pinkham then said that in such case
1t must be another family, as the facts did
not all fit the circumstances of the family
TO which he referred.
DR.. Pinkham then walked directly across
the street TO the Bee office and told the
above story. Comment is unnecessary.

The Old Fort.

EDS RECORD UNION: From information
received to-day there is a reasonable hope
that price may be had on the Suffers
Fort property in the next two or three
weeks. In the meantime nothing should
be done toward opening Twenty-seventh
street, till this information is received.
This matter is being thoroughly discussed
throughout the State, and there is bur one
opinion. and that is, that Suffers Fort
should be purchased and restored 10 its
former condition, and then that the prop
erty be improved and beautified. Now is
the proper time for all this to be done, and
benjamin Merrill will serve his own best
interest and do benefit TO the State bv
selling the properly at reasonable price.
