curb, and to appropriate money therefor.
Mr.. Goucher was against it. He said
he had voted at the last session to appro-
pirate some 100000 for improvements
about the Capitol, and now they were
told the money had been exhausted and
the work uncompleted. He admired the
genius of craftsmanship which caused the
world ''old'' to be inserted in the title of
the bill, but he was not to be caught by
that seductive device.
Mr.. Dray replied that he might have
appreciated the gentleman's criticism if
his sarcasm had been directed at the bill
next on the file providing for the conn
pletion OF the granite steps in Capitol
Park, which was to carry out the inten-
ton of one passed two years ago, but the
bill under Consideration had nothing to
do with that one. The old fence sur
rounding that portion of the park east of
Eleventh street was constructed about
twenty years ago, and would disgrace a
cattle ranch in Fresno. Unexplained the
nature OF the improvement contemplated
by the bill and said the work could and
would be done for the sum asked, SIS, 900.
Mr.. Seawell said he had noticed the old
fence, and did not think it any credit to
the State to maintain such a dilapidated
structure on the Capitol grounds.
The bill passed by vote of 25 ayes to 5
noes.
The Senate then adjourned.

A GREAT INVENTION.
What Wonders, Skill and Genius
Have Accomplished.

Among the most useful achievements Of
modern science IS the invention of the type
writer, Of which the latest and most practi-
cal outgrowth is a simple little arrangement
known as the 0dell Typewriter. Perhaps
the chief reason for the extraordinary favor
and success with which it has been uni
versally received is that in Impossible points
of comparison with the older machines the
Odell has clearly the advantage.
The essential POINTS of a type writer are
simplicity, durability and perfect working
qualities, all of which are embodied in this
new machine. Its construction is less COM
plicated than that Of the older kinds, and it
is capable Of much greater speed. The i'm
preston is made directly from the type, in
suring cleaner print, more perfect align
ment than can be obtained from an linked
ribbon. The type being hard metal the
operator can strike hard enough TO produce
eight, ten and twelve manifOldiDg impress
siOns at one writing.
The modus opeTandi of the Odell is so
simple that few hours practice will render
an operator proficient, no previous expert
ence being necessary. The writing is at all
times exposed to tile operator, so that each
letter can be seen as soon as printed. There
beng only fOrty-One parts t. the Odell as
against $50 in the other type-writers if is
more easily kept in order ana repaired.
Attachable 10 the typewriter is a new
and simple device, the Odell check pro-
tectOr, with which check can be perforated
IN a few seconds. Instead of cutting out
the amount the protector peTfOrates through
the paper with indelible ink, making a
double and absolute safeguard against
cOunterfeiting.
While the Oll-fashioned type writer's cost
500 the Odcll, doing better and quicker
work, is sold for only $50. S. Davis, 421
Montgomery street, has recently been ap-
pointed sole agent. The Odell typewriter
Is unquestonably marked Improvement
over all Others, and as it weighs only five
and half pounds can be readily trans
porta6.

HEALTH OF THE STATE.
Mortality Report-Some Of the Diseas
That Are Prevalent.

diseases
That Are Prevalent.
The monthly circular of the State Board
of Health for May shows that G6 cities,
towns and villages, having an aggregate
population of COS, 945 give a mortality of 945
rom all causes. This is a percentage Of
LOB Per thousand for the month, or 1850 per
thousand per annbm.
Consumption was fatal in 40 cases, pueu-
monia in 81, branchitis in q and congestion
of the lungs in H. There were 10 deaths
from diarrh9a and dysentery, from cholera
infantum, and 81 from other diseases of the
stomach and bowels. Diphthtria caused 50
deaths, Group Is, scarlatina 2, measles and
whooping cough 8. Typho- malarial fever
is accredited with 3 deaths, typhoid fever
with 20, remittent and intermittent fevers Z,
and ceTebrO-Spnal fever 3. Cancer caused
q, erySipelas 3, heart disease 50, alcoholism
s, and all other causes 400.
Smallpox has not been reported, but there
Is one case IN the Sacramento City and
County PeslhOuse. II is believed u have
been contracted in FL Paso, Tex. Sufficient
time has not elapsed to determine if the con-
taglon IS TO spread, There are also cases of
this disease at the United States Quarantine
Station, near San Francisco, all of which
are recovering
Measles appear to be epidemic in lone.
100 cases being reported Diphtheria was
reported from Modesto, st. Helena, Dixon,
Truckee, College City, Eureka and Napa.
Typhoid fever has not prevailed to any great
degree throughout the State. 1t is confined
principally to the larger towns and cities.
Diseases OF the respiratory organs coming
under the head of pneumonia. bronchitis
and congestion of the lungs, have abated
somewhat, but IS3 deaths from these causes,
exclusive Of consumption, show that they
prevail. Three hundred and five cases of la
grippe have been reported from twenty
seven localities quite widely distributed.
