Mrs. Williams, Lecture.

There was better attendance at Castle
Hall last night to hear Mrs. Williams sec
ond lecture in aid of the Froebel Associa-
ton to promote free kindergarten work
Governor Waterman presided and intro
duced the accomplished lecturer. The SUBJ
jec: was Marcus Aurelius," the last of the
five great and wise Roman Emperors
She contemplated his character as a man,
not his political career, except by occasional
incidental reference. 1t was an able effort
and a much interested and intelligent audi
ence. The exigeneies of space this morn
ing prohibit synopsis of the lecturers es-
innate of the character of Aurelius. 1t
couformed to the best estimates made by
historians, but it was given point and new
value by the lessons she drew from
it for application to the lives of
men al d women of to-day Perhaps the
finest and most earnest portion of tae dis
course was that in which was embraced
an aDostrophe to motherhood and the op-
portunity for mothers to mold the cAarac-
tiers of their sons Referring TO the love of
Marcus AN7elius for his mother, to his
close companionship with her, the reliance
he placed upon her judgment and the in
fluence she exercised upon all his life,
though she died when he was but II,
Mrs Williams said: ITO be a mother alone
is to have splendid opportunities; to know
how to use them is to WELD the noblest and
most potential influence known in human
ity, and to make ourselves the grandest OF
women

ADJUSTMENTS.

Wednesday evening, at the Metropolitan
Theater, Griswold's Uncle Toms Cabin"
Company will appear. The management
promises presentation of the piece on an
elaborate scale, and a street parade with
baud, jubilee singers, banners, ponies, dogs
and d0nkeys. 1t bills promise to put
81 600 forfeit if the piece is not presented
precisely as promised on the bill boards.
Numerous notices by the Eastern press are
furnished commencing the Griswold Com
pany. 1t is singular how strong a hold
the drama has upon public. Even indiffer-
emily performed it is drawing card, and
the outlook is that it will continue to be
for many years. The box-office for the
Grisgold Company's single night here
opens this morning.
On Friday evening next the CALIFORNIAN
Club will give an "old-time" concert at
Armory Hall. It promises to be very in
teresting, as all of the familiar old songs,
stories, ETC., will be given.

ought to be necessary to do no more than
suggest these things to insure action. But
if actionis not taken, we shall assume that
the people DO not care to maintain that
relation between city and country that is
essential to the prosperity of both, which
will practically mean decline of both city
and country.

THERE is considerable excitement among
biblophiles, because Quartieh, the great
English antiquarian bookseller, announces
that he will soon arrive in the United
States with an enormous collection of rare
and very old books, for which he expects
to gather in from Americans many shekels.
We incline to the belief that Mr. Quartich
viii meet with disappointment. Our an
tiquarian book collectors are not numerous,
and the majority of them are not possessed
of such amounts of money as the London
dealer seems to think he has in sight as the
result of his venture.

FROM all the many confessions made We
must conclude that San Francisco is in
need of three things badly; girls high
school building that is reasonably fire
proof: county Jail that will at least resist
efforts to break in; a receiving hospital
where suffering humanity can have hui
name treatment temporarily, and as part
of the hospital system an ambulance corps
with swinging cots on suspended springs
for the conveyance of those meeting with
accidents in the street. And still another
thing the metropolis needs badly-that
manliness in its journalism that will give
credit to whom credit belongs

for future consideration.
In advocating the new system, D. A.
Lindley said:
This is a plan that is so new to our people
that we do not expect it to carry all at once.
That there are some objections we must con-
cede On the other hand the advantages of
economy, practicability and beauty should be
considered, and, think. will outweigh all OBJ
| jeetions. l, myself, am willing the streets
should remain at present width II property
holders will pave them full width l will gladly
| pay s6 front foot fer bituminous-rock pave
meut in front of every foot of my property pro-
vided that is the cheapest 1t can be laid for l
| know, however, that there is no probability of
my being called on to pave at that price, be-
cause there are but few as enthusiastic for good
| pavement as am. To those less enthusiastic,
| offer to compromise at thirty-two feet. Let
every man who is opposed to narrow roadways
ask himself lam 1 willing to pave wide
| roadway If he can answer that he is willing,
4 let him ask himself next, Are my ne1ghbors
willingg" To this, experience answers for him,
most emphatically, no. The questions then re-
solve themselves into this: "By holding out
i for wide paved streets am ] not allying myself
with the advocates of mud?' In short, would
not q narrow, asphalt alley be better than a
wide. muddy street, not hard enough to be pass
able and not deep OF soft enough to be nayiga-

most popular seems to be that it would make

! One way out of the trouble with lawns would

will be time enough to agitate this question

| The city has to take care of and water this

Company of San Francisco:
SAN FRANCISCO January IS, 1890.
MesSrs Douglas 4. Lindley Edlcdrd F. Smith
Committee, etc., Sacramento, Cdl.-GENTIEMEN
Pursuant to your request for figures concerning
the cost OF street work at Sacramento beg to
submit the following, which are in the main
approximate and may be shaded when we have
more accurate information concerning the cost
Ct your city of cement, sand Tubble, etc.:
Where foundation is furnished us, we will
spread bituminous rock two inches in thick
ness, on not less than two blocks of a street, at
20 cents a square foot. being 81 so per front
foot on street As feet wide; So 20 per front foot
on street 30 feet wide
On three blocks or upwards we will do the
same work at the rate Of is cents per square
foot being 81 30 per front foot on street As feet
wide; 81 IS per front foot on street % feet wide
We name two blocks as the minimum of work
to be done, as it would hardly pay any bitumin-
GUS rock company to move It's ponder0us ma
chinery to Sacramento for less amount Of
work.
We will grade the street, lay 6-inch concrete
foundation and spread layer OF bituminouS
rock thereon inches in thickness, at the rate
of 81 cents per square foot, on two or more
street As .eet wide; 81 &c on street 80 feet wide.
The foregoing figures are based on what ma
terial cost at the time we worked in Sacramento
last year, which prices of course vary from time
to time.
1t is understood that all cost of surveying and
inspectors appointed by the Street Department
to supervise the work, is to be paid by the
property owners; and in this connection would
say that it would be to the interest of the prop
erty-owners to have an inspector appointed, so
as to satisfy them that the work was being
properly done.
When we do both the foundation and bitumin-
GUS rock work, complete, we guarantee as
against all ordinary wear and tear and action
OF the elements, for period of five years.
We Will contract to care for the pavement
and keep the streets in perfect order, after the
expiration OF the guaranty, at the following
prices Sixth year, one cent per square foot
seventh yeer, one and one-half cents per square
foot: eighth year, two and one-fourth cents per
square foot; ninth year, three aud one-hali
cents per square foot; tenth year, five cents per
square foot.
This sliding scale of charges will average 65
cents per square foot per annum, which, upon
comparison with cost of maintaining other
pavements, will. am 81 re, show result much
in favor of bituminous rock pavement l have
not at hand just now figures showing the COM
parative cost of maintaining other pavements,
but will Try and get the information and tele-
graph it to you on Monday.
hope the foregoing figures will be of service
to you, and aid toward securing for sacramento
what it should have, as the capital of the State
and the commercial center of a large and
promising section, a pavement that will COM
pare faYorably with those of other cities not so
favorably located and endowed. Yours truly,
JAMES III, SWIFT, General Manager.

Never in the history of the country
was there such universal interest
among the people and such urgent de-
mand on the political parties for imam
Cial reform as characterized the recent
campaign, and yet the great effort OF
the leaders of each of the parties and
of the partisan press was to give over
shawoding prominence to questions and
issues partaking largely of a partisan
character to the exclusion of the one
vital living issue-financlel reform.
Indeed the evasion Of this great issue
has been prominently characteristic OF
the two great parties for the past %
years.
The great absorbing question, let me
repeat before the American people, IS
not whether the Dem ocratic or the Re-
publican party, with their evident sub
serviency to the will of corporate ana
money power, shall be in the ascenden-
cy, but the question is whether under
our Republican form of government
the citizen or the dollar shall be soVer-
eign.
President Polk then reiterated the
demands of the Alliance, arged the
farmers to stand by them. They were
mainly the free coinage of silver, the
sub-treasury plan, aud government
control of railroads. He referred to
the Alliance as the great engine that
would allav sectionalism. North and
South, had met on common ground
and henceforth they would be as one
In conclusion he said: LET the dead
past bury its dead, and as an organlza-
ton let us turn our faces toward the
rising sun of our auspicious and lnvls-
ing future. where we shall all be one
people united for one purroSe."

The Admission Argus tells very in
teresting story of a nickel. Ladies,
try the experiment and give the pro-
ceeds 20 the church. The Argus says:
Some time ago the Ladies Aid Society
of this city agreed to invest a nickel in
some kind Of article and sell it at a
profit and re-invest in something else
and so on, to speculate on this capital
for two weeks and see how much each
could make. One lady on the same
evening of the meeting bought a cab
bage with her nickel. She carried it
home and sold half of it to her neigh
Dor for nickel. She invested that in
vinegar and picked the remaining half
and sold the pickle for % cents. She
then bought 20 cents worth OF cloth
and spool of thread and made it up
into three aprons, which she sold for
% cents each, and took the 10 cents
and bought molasses and gave candy
pulling to the children, making them
pay 10 cents a plate for the candy
The molasses made twenty-one plates
of candy, so she made S2.1O
