FAME, WEALTH. LIFE AND DEATH,
What is fame?
TITS the sun CLEAN on the mountain,

What is fame?
'Tis the sun CLEAN on the mountain,
Spreading brightly ere it flies,
'Tis the bubble on the fountain.
Rising lightly ere it dies;
Or, if here and there hero
Be remembered through theyears.
Yet to him the gain is zero,
Death has stilled his hopes and fears.
Yet what danger men will dare
If but only in the air
May be heard some eager mention of thei]
name;
Though they heard it not themselves, til
much the same.
What is wealth?
'Tis rainbow, still receding
As the painting fool pursues,
Ora toy, that youth, unheeding,
Seeks tie readiest way to lose;
But the wise man keeps due measure,
Neither out of breath nor base;
He but holds in trust his treasure
For the welfare of the race.
Yet what crimes some men will dare
But to gain their slender share
In some profit, though with loss of name and
health.
What is life.
IT'S the earthly hour of trial
For life that's but begun;
When the prize of self-denial
May be quickly lost or won;
IT'S the hour when love may bourgeon
To al everlasting flower;
Or when lusts their victims urge on
To defy immortal power
Yet how lightly men ignore
All the future holds in store,
Spending brief but golden moments all in
strife;
Or in suicidal madness grasp the knife.
What is death?
Fast It's dark, mysterious portal
Human eye may never roam;
Yet the hope still springs immortal
That it leads the wanderer home.
Oh, the bliss that lies before us
When the secret shall be known,
And the vast angelic chorus
Sounds the hymn before the throne!
What is fame, or wealth, or life?
Past are praises, fortune, strife;
All but love- that lives forever, cast beneath
When the good and faithful servant takes
the wreath.

A word to Every Citizen.


EDS. RECORD UNION: Permit me
through your free-lance column to adj
dress few words to my citizen
he who reads this letter:
Ny Dear Sir: The census school re-
port shows a falling off of nearly 300
school children. Do you know the rea-
son-One reason? Because men of fam
lily will not locate in place so over
burdened with saloons. If you doubt
this, go into Southern California, where
prosperity reigns, and there is not one
saloon to every 500 of population, while
i'll Sacramento there is one to every
eighty-tive. Go to real estate agents,
bankers, and others, and ask them if
newcomers proposing to settle here do
not come and go and give that as Il rea-
son. They are not prohibitlonistS, but
they decline to raise their children where
there is one saloon TO less than every seven
teen voters. We expend in the saloons
in our town about s., 0000 900 a year of the
wages of industry. How much better if
even half that sum was in homes and
home comforts. See the saloons nightly
filled by young men, find them in large
numbers there by day also. Go to Pasa-
dena, with her 5000 people, and not a
saloon in the city, no police, no lookup,
no criminal classes. Why? There is no
place for that class, for the idle, the young
and lmpreSSionabie to gather and loaf
Go to Riverside. with her regulation and
few drinking bars-go to other Southern
California towns generally and see what
1t is that pleases the Eastern man.
Be sure OF this, dear sir. No COM
munity III history can be named
that did not go down where debauchery
and indulgence were the rule They
rule here; You know it. No town
OF this size can carry 800 liquor bars on
It's back and not break down. Think of
1t, every seventeen OF us who are over q
years old exclusive of Chinese) support
one saloon. Talk OF taxes! Just think,
man, was there ever such tax as this
put upon a people? Does not common
sense teach us, and history, too. that
moral supineness before the slavery of
vicious luxury means eventual COM
munity death? Shall Sacramento 90
backward? This is the simple question
for you to answer. VIII you have cour-
age and sacritice little business that the
saloon can take from you, or sacrifice
your sons and daughters and home, and
have your taxes increase and your in
come and business decline? Think it
over. Shall we cut out half the tempta-
lions OF the saloons and make the other
| half pay the cost they make you? That
| Will relieve us some-not all that it
| should, but some. 1t will give strangers
better opinion of us, when. instead of
nearly every fourth door on business
| streets being saloon entrance, only every
| tenth door has whisky sign out. I
| am not a fanatic. I have sense enough to
| take half-loaf rather than starve. Look
! this matter in the face. Find out what is
the matter. Hunt out the causes that are
eating away Sacramento's lite, erippling
! business, driving population from us
and running our boys. You will not have
| far to search. FELIX TRACY

Arrested For a Board Bill.

a couple of young men from Tulare
came into the Police Station yesterday
and informed Chief Drew that Walter
d. Clark, who is wanted by the Sheriff of
Tulare for embezzlement, was in Sacra-
mento, and they offered to point him out
TO any officer VINO would accompany
them. Officer Campbell was detailed,
and he arrested Clark near Second and X
streets.
Chief Drew had previously been in
formed by telegraph that Clark was
wanted in Tulare County.
The allegation is that Clark left an UNI
paid board bin in that place.

Near 6 railroad crossing where trains frequently waited for connection berrisS were very plentiful Two women eGa- eeiTsd the Idea of making little money by selling fresh berries to the hot and dusty travellers. They forthwith put their idea into execution, and were sOoE passing through the waiting trains offer Ing the fruit for sale. One invariably made ready sales, selling out before she had gone through c train; the other al ways had berries Left unsold, and some. times she failed 10 seIs any. One made handsome little 'tpile" by the end Of the season; the other questioned whether she had been paid for her time
 The reason for the success of the one sS.ss SSssse failure of the ether was not hard to find. It Bu lay in the manEJG of ser vice.

THERE never was shown a more

THERE never was shown a more honorable disposition on the part of any set of men than that by the gen tlemen who last year succeeded in defeating the disincnrporstion of the city of Tombstone. Aithat time those opposed to disincorporation said to the voters wait till the legislature meets and we will father 8 biii io Ee- duce expenses, lop of useless offices and reduce the expenses of running the city to a minimum, but we will never agree to disiucorporaliOn." The dis patch from Phenix last night, telling of the passage of the economy bill through the house by R unanimous vote proves that they were iu earnest when they made the promise to the taxpayers during the prog ress of the disincorPOration campaign. Although the bill will throw OTs of office men who were elected for two years they will rot be disappointed as they must certainly have expected just such legislation. The appoint ment of a committee by the mayor to look into the matter of economy was the parent of the rolling stone which went through the house without gath eFiaP any moss to iBlnede its pr0gress The bill is surely well named "The City Economy Bill" and to the city council and the mayor and those who aided in carrying out .be reform which they promised to do, the citi- gers of Tombstone owe a debt of gratitude.
