THE new POOTOFFICB.
The Governments Chief Architect is
on the Ground.
He VIII Hurry Up the Work and
VIII Have the Building Finished
in Eight Months.

\. J. Edbrooke, Supervising Architect
of Government Buildings, and his first
assistant, Frank Grygla, arrived in Sac
ramento last night, direct from Washing
ton, and registered at the Golden Eagle
Hotel.
The officials come here to hurry up the
work on the new Postaffice building in
course of construction in this city. Mr..
Edbrooke said last night that he and Mr..
Grygla wanted TO look over the building
and decide upon what was needed in the
way of interior work, now that most Of the
outside work is done, and as soon as they
reached an agreement the contract would
be let. He says they intend to have the
Inferior in keeping with the handsome
exterior, if not even more elegant.
The building. when completed, says the
Supervising Achitect, Will be the hand

of Sacramento's size in the United States.
ana the Capital City has reason to be
proud of it.
1t is proposed by the Government Off
Gals to consider, in connection with other
matters, the ACCESSIBILITY of lighting the
entire building with incandescent lights
and provide other electrical conveniences.

One of the first things to be attended to,
though, will be the laying of a fine stone
walk on Seventh and X streets. An iron
fence will surround the building, pro-
tecting the basement windows, as well as
pedestrians, and attention will be given
TO the lawn, and shrubbery will orna-
ment two sides of the building.
The Supervising Architect says the peo-
pie Of Sacramento can count on seeing the
new building completed in eight months.
The previous delay, he says, has been due
to strikes in Eastern steel works.
Mr.. Edbrooke is not a stranger to Sac
ramento. He TOOK an active part IN the
designing and construction of the State
Capitol and planned the Golden Eagle
Hotel and other buildings.
Mr.. Grygla was out here several months
ago and inspected the work on the Post
office building.
1t is expected that both gentlemen will
be here several days.

A Story of Reade.

prejudiced critics, and the lost art of ha-
tired, irresistibly reminds his readers of
our own Charles Reade. Both combined
wild intemperance of invective with
the most charitable and amiable disposi-
ton. A friend once called on Charles
Reade, and found him sitting at his desk
placidly smiling, whilst, with great pre-
cision and deliberation, he inscribed his
thoughts on sheet of foolscap in a large
schoolboy text. He might have been
writing love letter, he seemed so happy.
He was in reality scaritying a ''criticas-

A STORY ABOUT BEECHER.
How the Noted Divine Spent His Last Da
In the Outer World.

How the Noted Divine Spent His Last Day
In the Outer World.
Upon the afternoon that the dear church
parlor was elegant with the so much needed
enlargement, and the carpet, which Mr..
Beecher had selected, on the floor, and
new furniture all in, nothing seemed
wanted but a new mantel over the simulated
fireplace, which I was commissioned to
select, writes Mrs. Henry Ward Beecher
in her concluding paper on "Mr Beecher
AS Knew Him." in the August Ladies'
Home Journal. Igreatly desired Mr.. Beecher's
help in doing this, but his work on 1.-THE
Life of Christ" was now progressing SO
fairly that disliked to ask him to 60 with
me, as knew before we would be suited it
might occupy large portion of the day.
But in the evening he inquired how much
more of the work on the parlor should
expect to do. told him, adding, eff your
work did not need all your time should
ask your aid in selecting the mantel." He
made no reply. That was sufficient, and
understood that he could not 60 with me.
But the next morning at breakfast he
gravely asked: "Have you ordered the
coupe?"
"For what?" asked.
"Didn't you order me to go with you to
select that mantel, and did I ever ~disobey
your orders?" And to my relief he went
with me.
On this, his last day in the outer world,
we spent most of the time looking through
furniture stores, and were successful in our
search.
In this last blessed ride together never
knew him so inclined to talk when riding,
or in such tender happy frame of mind;
everything he spoke of seemed golden col
ored
Once he said laughing: 'T'm glad you
made me take this ride. I have been work.
ing so steadily for day or two my head
feels tired. but this ride quite brightens me
up"

ARTIFICIAL RUBBER.

NEW THINGS FOR DOMESTIC USE
WRITTEN FOR THE DIsPArcH.I


About eight years ago the hydrocarbon
'fsoprene," which had previously been
identified among the products of the de-
structive distillation Of crude rubber, was
discovered among the volatile compounds
obtained by the action of moderate heat
uron oil of turpentine. Isoprene can be re-
converted into true elastic rubber by the
action of strong acids such as murlatic. DR..
Tilden, who originally made the discovery
referred to, not long ago produced from tur-
pentine quantity of isoprene, which, after
being kept for o few weeks, became thick
and syrupy, with Jumps of hard, elastic
substance floating in it. These Jumps
proved to be true rubber, and are supposed
to have been formed by the accidental pres
ence of acetic or formic acid in tho solution.
This rubber appears to be analogous In
every respect to the natural product and il
susceptible of vulcanization.
The discovery has been followed by ex-
periments to ascertain the feasibility Of
manufacturing rubber from turpentine on
commercial scale. An interesting field for
experiments has been opened up by this
discovery, for if, as is possible, other resins
are similarly susceptible of conversion into
elastic compounds, products possessing
properties of peculiar value may be de-
veloped, and in any case the dearth of rub
Der which has existed for some time in con-
sequence of the wholesale destruction Of
rubber forests is likely to give no further
cause for alarm.

CREEPING MALARIA
lNsI sIDIoUs AND srEAyrHY IN ITS AP-
PRoAcH.
DEADLY AND 'UNYIELDING IN ITS
GR,sP.
Extracts From Lecture nt the Surgical
Hotel, Columbus. D., by DR.. S. e. Hart
man.
REPORTED FOR THE PRESS.

The onset of malaria is often so very in
sidions that it is quite difficult to detect the
nature of it until after it has fastened itself
thoroughly in the system. Malaria often
will poster person for months without
making him sick abed, but making him
genuinely misunderstanding rigors, coated
tongue, appetite changeable, and many in
descrbable sensations OF genuinely disa-
yreeable kinds. Chills and hot flashes of
very irregular duration and recurrence
come and go without seeming cause. The
hands and feet are usually cold and clammy.
and the general tendency is to dryness and
coldness of the skin of the whole body.
Among the symptoms to which this class
of patients are liable, but not ALWAYS
present, may be mentioned neuralgia head
ache, nervous chills, hysteria, sinking or
faint spells, distressing palpitation of the
heart, defective eyesight, total inability to
read, write or do any business; urine
abundant, without color, and loss of flesh.
Melancholy feelings, discouraged, listless
state of mind, mental depression and con-
fusion OF the mind, surely indicate the
presence of malaria. This form is called
maIarial biliousness. For this walking
malaria" which neither puts one to bed
nor allows him to work or study, Pe-ru-na
should be taken as directed on the bottle.
A course of Pc. ru-na will entirely cleanse
the system of every particle of the malarial
poison. Therefore, it you have any kind of
bad feeling which you attribute to malaria,
by all means follow this treatment. 1t at
once restores the appetite. clears the be-
logged senses and brings back the hopeful
state of mind which malaria is sure to de-
stroy. A thorough use of it will convince
you of its wonderful power in all such
cases. Pe-ru-na can be relied on to cure
these cases and restore to perfect health as
speedily as the chronic nature of the diff
fculty will allow. Should constipation
exist at the same time Man-a-lin should be
added. The Pe-ru-na tones up the nervous
system and enricnes the blood, giving
strength and vitality, while Man-a-lin re-
stores the activity of the excretory glands,
enabling the system to rid itself d accumu-
lated poison, bringing back to this most un-
fortunate class Of invalids the flush and
good feeling of perfect health. Directions
for use accompany each bottle.
