The Sacramento Children's Day Home.
EDS. RECORD UNION: a more excel
lent project has never been planned than
this same Day Home we hear SO much
about. The well-to-do parents of our
city, many of them, do not know the
need there is that mothers who must toll
should have some safe place where the
little ones can be cared for. Our orphan
asylum, Founding Home and kinder
gartens are noble charities, but the Day
Home VIII take little tots that must not
be IN either OF the other homes, and for q
tritle will care for them through long
day, and only where the mother needs 10
work or Is Ill.
Such an institution should hold its po-
sltlon IN any community. No one could
engage IN noller labor of love than the
training OF young children. Had the
principles OF honesty and sobriety that
are daily lnstilled into the minds of our
kindergarteners been impressed upon
Ihe young IlLluS OF Sucn men as nave
shamed our Police Court during the past
few days. they would not now be a dis
grace TO our city and State.

Cr1t1cfSfn OF the sacramento Wonder,
Young ZaIdivar.
The San Francisco Post says: 'Horse-
men who have seen Zaldivar at Sacra-
mento do not like the looks OF the great
colt, for he has not filled out at all during
the winter. Wilbur Smith, owner of the
horse. has always handled trotters, and in
working Zaldivar he carried into practice
the same treatment that is given harness
horses. In other words, he has kept the
colt on the move since the close Of last
fall's races and has given him no rest.
The result is that he is at present IN good
racing condition, and it is feared that he
will go stale before the time for the
decision OF the American Derby ar
riVeS."

W. W. Shaw Secures the Plum,

For six months or more there has
been doubt and uncertainty as to who
would be made postmaster Of Texar-
kama, and occupy the new government
building, under consolidation of
mail business for both the Arkansas
and Texas corporations.
1t seems that Mr.. W. W. Shaw, who
has been acting as postmaster on the
Arkansas side, has secured the plum,
under the consolidated arrangement.
Yesterday he received telegram from
postal clerk Fennessey, at Washington,
that Postmaster General Wannamaker
had signed his papers as postmaster
of Texarkana. We congratulate Mr..
Shaw upon his promotion, and our
people in general on his remaining in
charge as he makes a good officer.
II is thought he will get into his
handsome and convenient quarters, in
the new government building by new
years day.
Since the above was put in type,
Mr.. Shaw has received notice direct,
that the Texarkana, Texas, postoilice
has been discontinued, which verities
all Of the above.

An Explosion.

Quite a serious explosion occurred
at the Texarkana oil mills, at an early
hour yesterday evening. The explos-
ion was the result of some defect in
the machinery, which caused an over
pressure in the steam chest, blowing
the head entirely out, breaking the
great driving arms to pieces, and
scaldlng, in severe and painful man
ner, about the arms, hands and face,
the person of Capt. John Drake, who
unfortunately chanced at that moment
to be in close proximity to the steam
chest and directly IN the way of the
scalding steam as 1t escaped from the
bursted chest The services Of Drs. j..
A. Lightfoot and r.. L. Grant were at
once called into requisition, and after
ministering to the injuries of the un-
fortunate man, left him comparatively
free from his present pain and in no
danger from his injuries.

A Serious Charge.

John Ray, jr., son of Capt. John G.
Ray, an old citizen of Texarkana, was
arrested yesterday by Deputy Sheriff
Hugh Grafton, on warrant sworn
out by ex-MayorE. A. Schicker, charg-
ing him with obtaining money under
false pretences. The arrest created
some excitement on the streets, owing
to an attempt on "John's' part to
reach friendly cover on the Texas side.
This attempt was defeated by the ap-
pearance of Texas officers, who per-
suaded the prisoner to return quietly
with Mr.. Grafton, without the aid of
a requisition. Upon arraignment in
the Circuit court the warrant was re-
placed by an indictment from the
grand jury, and the amount of bail fix
ed at $500, which the prisoner expects
to make on the arrival of his father
from Little Rock to day, he havlng
been telegraphed for. We regret the
trouble this young man has fallen in
to, and hope ahat he will
be able to exculpate himself from so
serions charge. 1t is so easy for
young man to fall into bad habits, de-
spite all restraints, which can be
thrown around him, and so certain
that these habits will sooner or later
lead him into trouble that one cannot
resist a feeling of sincere sympathy
both for the unfortunate boy aud his
family, indulging in the hope that the
experience may prove warning
against future errors.

fund, and as we now have the amount
mentioned above in the treasury, we

it; we only know the fact
from experience.
1t may be due to the COM

cod-liver oil and the hypo-

due to the glycerine. There

Showing Some Activity.

Some of the security holders Of the Rich
mond Terminal are beginning to show an
activity with respect to the affairs Of that
company that borders on anxiety. The
committee that was last appointed to look
into its affairs in an appeal to the security
holders says that something must be done at
once to prevent the company from going TO
pieces and being sold out. 1t calls for a
meeting Of the stockholders at Richmond,
Va, this month to elect board Of direct
ors that will command public confidence.
1t is clear that this committee doesn't
think that Mr.. Clyde, the receiver Of the
Richmond and Danville, is very friendly to
the Richmond Terminal, and it looks as if
there was movement on foot to get rid Of
him when the question Of appointing per-
manent receiver for the Richmond and DAN
vile comes up for hearing this month.
1t will take a great deal of diplomacy to
get anything like an agreement between the
Richmond Terminal security holders
There are so many interests involved that
lead in different directions that harmo-
NOUS action seems to be almost out of the
question. If the property could be got into
the hands of Drexel, Morgan & Co. some
thing might be saved to the security hold
ers. The present squabbling simply means
almost total loss Of all that is valuable in
the Richmond Terminal concern.
