Round About Folsom.

From the Telegraph.
There is nothing in the report of the al
legged robbery at Alder Creek a few even
ings ago.
Several new culverts and trestles are
being put in on the road above here by
the Southern Pacific Company. Every
thing on the road is being put in first
class condition.
While in the Sacramento Jail, Dunlap,
the escaped convict, told reporter that
he ran from the prison grounds amid a
shower of bullets from the Gatling guns
and guards. The fact is, that there was
not single shot fired at him, as no one
saw which way he went.
On Friday last Charles Decker, con-
vict sentenced to life Imprisonment from
Fresno county, died suddenly from apo
pleXy. Decker arose in the morning, ap-
parently i'll the best of health. After in
dulging in friendly scuffie with another
convict he began his work of preparing
breakfast. He was engaged in cutting
up some meat for stew, when ii was no.
ticed that he began to tremble, and then
fell backwards. He was picked up at
once and taken TO the hospital, but died a
moment or two afterwards. He was about
35 years of age, and was strong, robust
man and an excellent prisoner.

TO PREVENT Badness.
Men Who Sit in the Front Row Should
Paste This in their Hats.

The preservation Of the hair and the
prevention of badness is a matter to
which / have given considerable attention
and thought said barber the other
day, land l have come to the conclusion
that all the patent tonicS that were ever
compounded by my craft are not half as
good as a few simple and natural reme-
dies which Il child can make and use. 1t
is, of course, impossible TO prevent bald
ness where it is hereditary, but it can,
however, be warded Off
" The hair, like every other portion of
the human frame, if uncared for will go to
waste and eventually drop out. This is
due to a splitting of the ends Of the hair,
so that the interior oil duct, which nour-
isheS the hair, is exposed and the natural
nourishment Of the hair runs to waste,
overfows upon the head, forming dam
druff, which impedes the growth of the
hair just as much as the tares among
wheat. The best means to prevent this is
q strengthening of the hair and this can
be easily accomplished by frequent cut
ting and the use of salt and water and a
little vaseline. Have you ever noticed
what bushy hair seafaring men have? /
followed the sea for number of wears; /
don't remember ever having seen bald
sailor. 1t is because their hair is in con-
slant contact with the inyigorating salt
ali and is often wet with salt water A
good tonic of salt water should contain
q teaspoonful of salt to tumbler of water.
and should be applied to the hair two or
three times week. The effect at the end
of n month will be surprising. If the hair
is thoroughly washed once week with
CASTLE soap and the scalp rubbed with
vaseline, the hair will not only cease to
fall out, and the dandruff disappear, but
viii actually thicken. Having once got
the hair in good condition, vigorous dry
brushing and resort occasionally to the
treatment l have described will keep it
so. Balzac, the famous French novelist,
was g great sticlller for brushing and rub
bing the hair, and claims to have warded
off badness for q long time, though he
inherited it from both his father and
mother 1t is alarming how prevalent
badness now is among young men, and 1
attribute it entirely to the stiff Derby hat
now in vogue, The hat impedes the cir
culation of the blood on the crown of the
head and thus shuts off from the hair a
large portion of its nourishment. The
soft hat is far the best. Next"

Deputies in France for Sunday law, o.
the sociaiistic labor party of Germany
demanding law prohibiting Sunday
labor, were religions fanatics, making
war on liberty. The question before the
Senate and Assembly is: VIII this law
promote public morals? The teachers in
our schools and colleges. the MEM
bers and adherents of the churches of the
State, Catholic and Protestant alike, the
Christian wives and mothers of the State
believe it will aid the cause of morals.
The Judgment and desire of these people
should have weight.
The advocates Of the Parole system do
not claim that it alone will cleanse our
Augean stables, but they do contend it
will help 10 lessen crime and improve
public morals. The law Just passed pro-
hibiting the sale of liquors and cigars to
minors VII not wholly cure this evil. but
it will help. The proposed Sunday law
will not heal ali our public evils, but it
Will help to lessen crime and improve the
public morals. And for this reason we
expect the Assembly and Senate to unite
| in making it a law.

How to Help Drowning People.

w hat is the best course to pursue in
aiding people who are drowning ?''
Grab 'em by the back hair and hold
them at arms length. I've noticed one
thing about drowning people. When
they are sinking the first time, ifthey see
you and rise again, they know where to
grapple with you, and the result is YOU
both go down together, with a strong
probability that you will be drowned.
It is my advice that if you go to rescue a
drowning person you should swim
around him and keep behind him so he
won't see you when he comes up the sec
ond time. Another thing, when going to
a persons rescue, try to gain. his conf
dence. 1t is a fact that one finger placed
under swimmers body viii keep him
afioat, if you can only get him to be-
heve it.

Circumstances alter cases in matters of

affairs of life.
Little Edith, visiting in the country,
was much interested in an old lady, who,
when a plate of fruit was passed her at
an evening party, .replied:
''Thank you, don't care for any now,
but / should like to put an apple in my
pocket to take home."
At the end of the Thanksgiving dinner
few days afterward Edith was observed
looking hopelessly at a last bit of pud-
ding on her plate.

EDS. RECoRD-UNIoN, Sacramento, cal:
From recent papers received from the
United States, and especially the RECORD
UNION, | notice that at last the Suffers
Fort property-that old landmark so dear
to your people-has been purchased and
turned over to the State of California;
and, sirs, the people of Sacramento City,
as well as of your whole State, owe debt
Of gratitude to that enterprising citizen
of your city, General j. G.. MARITIME, for
the zeal and enterprise he has shown in
the matter, and especially to Colonel c.
+. Croker for his princely gift of SO, 600
toward its purchase. L hope the property
may be restored and preserved as a
museum of antiquity for all time to come
that people from this and other foreign
lands who may hereafter visit your State
may look upon it as a sight well worthy
their inspection.
Perhaps / may be pardoned for asking
space in your valuable paper, but a resi-
dence of some six years in your beautiful
city has endeared to me anything and
everything that pertains TO its prosperity,
and [ trust that attraction will be but the
forerunner Of many that will soon follow
in the Capital City of California. Re-
spectfully, A. r. LEA.

HE SHOULD HAVE LOOKED.
No Damages for a Man Who Gets Off
at the Wrong Station.
How William Nagle Fell Into a Cam
yon-ssLook Before You Leap''-
A Nonsuit.

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
Judgment of the Superior Court of San
Diego County in the case of William c..
Nagle against the California Southern
Railroad Company-a suit for damages
for personal injuries alleged to have been
sustained by Nagle.
Nagle boarded one of the defendants
trains at San Diego and bought a ticket
for La Jolla, small station on that road.
He had been to La Jolla before, and
knew where it was, and also knew that
there was a platform there to get out
upon. On this particular occasion, how
ever, the train stopped just before reach
ing La Jolla. Somebody sitting near
Nagle said the place was La Jolla, and
Nagle started to get off. 1t was night,
and he stepped off the car, thinking he
would alight on the station platform.
Instead, the train was standing on Il
trestle, and Nagle stepped off into can
yon, sustaining painful injuries.
A NoNsUIT.
When the case came up in the Superior
Court, the railroad people moved for q
nonsuit, and it was granted.
Nagle appealed the case to the Supreme
Court but this tribunal now decides
against him, too. 1T appears" !" says the
court, that the stoppage of the train was
proper one, that due care might be
taken of the whole train and all the pass
engerS on it, as the train was approach
ing washout where danger might exist,
and it was the duty of the conductor and
trainmen to be at their several stations
at the brakes and on the lookout-to see
that there was no injury likely to result
in passing this dangerous spot OH the
road. They could not perform this in the
short time of the stoppage, and also go
through the cars to warn passengers not
to get out. If they had acted as the
plaintiff seems to contend they should,
and an accident had happened to the train,
then the negligence ofthe defendant would
have been apparent. 1t appears that no
one else got off. 1t does not appear to
have been so dark but that a person, by
the
PROPER USE OF HIS EYES,
Might have distinguished a canyon lying
Immediately before him from level
place where there was a platform with u
shed over it, which were to be seen Mt n
Jolla. Instead of attempting to do this,
the plaintiff heedlessly jumped off the car,
and could not have taken time to look
about him. He had no intiInation from
the trainmen that this was his stopping
place, or that he should get off, but got off
apparently because some irresponsible
person said it was La Jolla. He should
at least have used his eyes, acting as he
did upon his own responsibility, with
sufficient care to have looked before he
leaped.'"
