Sixth Session of the Socialist Con-
 ference.

The regular fortnightly session of the Socialist Convention took place on the 10th inst. at Clarendon Hall. The meeting was well attended and showed progress all along the line. Two addi- tional organizations, the Italian Mosaic Workers and the Cloakmakers, joined the body.
 A large number of matters of detail, important, however, in themselves, came up and were disposed of. Among these were the holding of ratification meeting on the 18th instant, the provid- ing for regular open air meetings in the unorganized as well as the organized Assembly Districts, the providing for posters, hand bills, etc., to be distri- buted throughout the county, and also the printing of pastors for election day. Every one of these matters received the earnest consideration of the delegates, who referred them all to the campaign committee with instructions to act.
 Owing to the decease of County SlCAh IeViiCS biiiSC tuC lOl county offices, it was decided not to leave the place in blank and Comrades Cohn of the Cloakmakers' and Charles F. Wilson of the Rockdrillers' were put up. Comrade Cohn declined in favor of Wilson and on motion of the former Wilson was nominated by exclamation. Upon repeated calls for "speechv, the nominee stated in few happy words his acknowledgment of the honor done him, and the unadvisability to strain his already overstraned throat in an address at that time, seeing he was hus- banding his voice for the open air meet ings which, since last week, his district organization had inaugurated and was steadily pushing.
 For the Election Expense Fund of the Socialist Party $3 was received from the Progressive Laborers No. 1, and $14.15 from the 22d Assembly District.
 At about 10 p. m. the Convention ad- journed, and as the delegates walked out they attached their signatures to the nomination certificates for Comrade Wilson. The requisite 300 were almost all obtained.

Carnaryon Castle, incontestably the fin
est of its kind in the kingdom, and ever
memorable as the birthplace of the first
Prince of Wales, was, it is said, build
er's tour de force for it was commenced
in 1888 by King Edward l., and the
Prince was born there in April, 1884, re-
port adding that the whole castle was
built in two years. But there seems seri-
Gus doubts on this point, as some author
tiles assert that it took thirty -eight years
to complete, which, considering its great
size and numerous fine towers, seems the
more likely of the two. Anyway, it is
certain that serious damage was done to
the castle by the instruction of Madoc,
in 1895, for ii is proved by existing docu-
ments that the Mayor of Chester was Or
dered to send workmen to repair it. In
1902 Owen Glyndwr, who had succeeded
in gaming possession of some of the
Welsh castles, tried his luck at C4rnar-
Won, but failed. Again, during the Wars
of the Roses it frequently changed hands,
and in 1914 Oliver Cromwell's Ironsides
obtained possession of it and took num-

Then came the turn of the Royalists, who
besieged and won it; but in 1916 the
castle was again captured by the Parlia-
mentary forces, and finally in 1860 an Or
der was issued to dismantle and demolish
it altogether But this was, fortunately,
not fully carried out, or we should have
lost most interesting relic of the good
old days when all men carried their
lives at the points of their swords, when
the STRONGEST man was ALWAYS RIGHT and
when rights of property were only recog-
nized in those who could substantiate them
by force of arms. Good old days, truly,
but we may thank our stars our lot is not
cast in them.-Mdgazine Of Art for January.

party of young men headed BY U. P. Val
lejo, son of General Vallejo. The storm
ing party succeeded in driving the wild
man from his lofty stronghold and bringing
him to bay. He then engaged in desper-
ate hand to hand encounter with young
Vallejo, who finally disabled him with a
saber thrust. He was then bound hand
and foot and brought by his captors to
Sonoma, but subsequently made his escape
and took refuge in the Aqua CalieHte cave.
About fifteen years ago this latter retreat
was discovered and another attempt made
to capture the wild man, but be abandoned
the cave and eluded his pursuers and took
up his abode in a less accessible spot.
Henry Weyl, Sr., of this place, whose
attention had been attracted to the wild
man, shortly after he had been driven from
the cave, hunted him up and by kind treat
ment succeeded in tanning him and induced
him to live on his wood ranch about two
miles south of town, where he continues TO
have an abiding place, being supplied with
provisions by Mr.. Weyl and in return cut
ting a few cords of wood occasionally.

PAYMENTS FOR STREETS.
ONE THAT LOOKS as IF IT WOULD
STAND THE TEST.
How a Detroit Citizen Would Have the
Streets of That City Paved
Something New.

As the subject of street improvement is
one that just now deeply concerns the citi-
zens of this city, and as there is diversity
of opinion as to the more desirable system
of pavement to be introduced, it would
be well for those who are taking an active
part in the matter to consider all reasona-
BILE plans offered. The city of Detroit,
Mich, is at present undergoing a similar
agitation to that which now engrosses the
attention of cur own people, and all sorts
of plans and suggestions are being offered.
Among them is one offered by S. G. Howe,
a cross-sectional view of which is given be-
low. In an interview with reporter of
the Detroi. Journal Mr.. Howe says:
Gas we are now enjoying the spectacle of
floating corduroy paVements in almost
every part of the city, and as there seems to
be disposition to consult something be-
sides cheap first cost, would like to call
attention to design of my own, which l
submitted about ten years ago to the paw
ing contractors, who all approved of it, but
declared that its first cost would make it
unacceptable to the people of Detroit. l
do not desire or design to get any patent on
it, and perhaps could not if l did, but /
offer it free for the consideration and use of
this or any other city that sees enough
merit in it to warrant trial. Here is

The organization called the Crawling
Grading and Paving Company, and all citi-
zens that will promote this work, must be
reserve that will add the sum necessary to
insure the improvement of each street.
These citizens and this corporation will see
that deficiencies are supplied and money
furnished at such nominal rate that the
work will not come TO a standstill, or even
flag ON the way of accomplishment. That
these different agencies shall be organized

quently by mass meetings or business as
semblages.
think that either the whole street may
be done poorly and on credit at nominal
interest, or one-third of say thirty feet
one year done in best style, and another
one-third another year, or even one sixth
thus the work necessarily will advance in
an aceelerating ratio.
For this year it will be easy to grade two
streets running east and west, and at least
one north and south. A pledge must be
exacted that the half of these three por-
tions shall be continued as defined till all
shall have the benefit that part have had,
conditioned that the work shall be con-
tinuous and fairly effective for the reason
able time agreed upon. F. III. SHIELDS.

"a represents the top layer or wearing
surface, which may be of wood, stone,
brick or any other desirable substance. B
represents the next layer of stone chips,
broken thin and Tapped one over the other,
which, when laid, practically form one
stone slab from curb to curb, yet allowing
a perfect drainage would lay this course
about four inches thick. C is a six-inch
layer of clean sand. D, another three
inch layer of thin stone chips. E, the
earth beneath the pavement. T, six
inch drain tile laid in the cutters in the
sand layer and leading to the sewers
through the receiving basin.
"You may readily see that this top layer
of broken stone chips will give dry sur
face for the under side of the top dressing
to rest upon and also furnish good drain
age for any surface water that may fall on
said pavement. The layer of sand allows
of an even grade for the two top layers.
The lower layer of stone chips, even if
laid on the unrolled ground, would give a
solid foundation, as it, like the top layer,
would be practically one stone slab under
meath the whole pavement. These chips
can be made of sandstone too soft for any
other use. This stone could be had at
a nominal price, would be easily broken,
and so would not be expensive.
Another advantage is that the breaking
of the stone could be done in winter when
work is scarce and so in measure even up
the work the year round. l believe man
with hammer would break up from one
to two cords of this soft stone day.
Again, as we are having our streets torn
up every year, more or less, for the laying
and repairing of water and gas pipes and
unless the suggestion of using the alleys be
adopted, will soon have them mutilated in
like fashion to receive in their fond en-
brace our telegraph, telephone and electric
light wire, it is desirable that weishould
have pavement that can with little trouble
be taken up and relaid again, and still
leave the street in a disable shape. 1t
is an easy matter to break through those
stone chips at any point and as easy again
to relay them, and easy again to make good
any settling with few shovelfuls of sand.
This foundation once in place would be
practically everlasting, the top layer only
requiring a relaying or repairing"

A MYSTERY SOLVED.
The Handwriting in the Cave at Sonoma
Explained.

Several days ago Charles Baettge of So
mona discovered cavern near that town,
in the solid walls of which had been CHS
eled vast number of cabalistic letters and
signs, the handiwork of some one who had
inhabited the almost inaccessible retreat
many years ago. The report of the find,
says the Souoma Ipder- Tribune, has devel-
oped the fact that the cave and its singular
occupant were known to several of the old
residents of the valley many years ago, but
time had almost effaced from their memo
ries the incidents associated with the cav
ern and its solitary occupant.
As early as 1877 the recluse was known
in these parts as the wild man of So
noma," and for years he was looked upon
by the early settlers as uncomfortable and
dangerous, his long matted hair, cleaning
eyeballs, emacated features and scanty
covering gazing him most ferocious appear
ance. His first known retreat was discov-
cred in the early fifties At that time he
had constructed and was living in sort Of
crows nest" to use a nautical term, in
one of the tall trees that fringeG the banks
of Sonoma creek on the Sears rancho.

made to dislodge and capture him by a

to his son, but it was attached by the
formers creditors.
Young Mccain commenced a replevin

peared for the creditors of the elder Mccain.
and Grove L. johnson for the MoCanns and
