is not what ii ought to be, but it is bliss
compared to the torture of existence
without girls Yet today great sister
State is crying out for girls in agony of
despair.
This truly fraternal feeling for
our depths of imaginary woe
seems to have arisen from an
item in q San Francisco paper
which claimed that there is. a
great scarcity of girls in every
towniln the State except Ala
media. .
The Sugf is glad TO assure the
Clarksburg TELEGRAM and other
sympathlzing cotemporames that,
however true this might nave
been in the winter OF 40 and the
spring of 80, it is quite different
in the spring of SO. We may let
the rest of the State speak for
itself. though our beautiful bath.

exquisite specimens of the genus
girl coming from every Cali
fornian city, from Shasta in the
north to San Diego IN the south.
But speaking for Santa Cruz,
If there is one product which our
county reioices and delights in
more than all others, it is our
girls. Country girls, city girls,
mountain, valley and seaside
girls; girls that are sensible,
housewifely and useful; girls that
are dainty helpless and stylish;
hool,ma'ams who are pretty
and lovable and afraid to bury
themselves in country school
houses; school girls, college girls,
telephone and telegraph girls,
society girls, business girls
every one of them we'll informed,
bright, fin-desiecle to the finger
tips, and every one ready to make
some fellow good wife unless
she happens to like taking care
of herself better.
Most of these are native
daughters born on our own
golden and verdant soil-those
who are not wish they were; but
we soon get almost as fond of the
imported article when she is.
very nice-as the home product.
For the sake of our kindly
friend, the editor of the TELE-
GRAM, we wish he might stand
with us on Pacific avenue some
bright morning and see the IN
ending crowds of school girls,
business college girls and pretty
school ma'ams tiocking to the
days duties, their eyes and faces
bright with the glorious air of
Santa Cruz. 1t would help him
to put away his free and I'M
bounded sympathy in a pigeon
hole of his Office desk and pre-
serve it for some less favored
community than ours.

1t is affirmed that the Pope and Cardi-
nails Rampolla and Ledoohowski have ex-
pressed their discomfort in the matter, and
that the pope will shortly take important
action concerning the agitation in America,
with view to ending the divisions which
exist in the church.
RESTORATION OF M'GLYNN.
The reconciliation OF Archbishop Corri-
gan with Father McGlynn produced the
happiest impression here. Ever since 1889
high personages in Rome and America have
tried TO assist in this reconciliation. Last
year the friends Of Father McGlynn opened
aud continued for some time pour parles
with Rome, aiming at this result. Father
McGlynn stated that he was ready to come
to Rome Co ask reconciliation with the
pope IL his accommodation was
raised and his dignity as priest restored.
Last spring the propaganda deputixed a
man OF confidence to negotiate with Father
McGlynn. When Mgr. Satolli started for
America the pope confided to him the duty
OF making a new effort with Father
McGlynn, and gave Mgr. Satoln full power

cillalion are not krown here.

that her daughters health ia improving.
The Exchange Telegraph Company also
says that Mrs. Maybriok ia recovering add
ing that the hemorrhages with which she
was recently attacked, and which caused
reports that she was in q dying condstiou,
were caused by herself, and not by the
ravages OF consumption.
According to some OF the newspapers
here, the reported illness OF Mrs. Maybrick
was nothing less than an attempt on her
part to create public sympathy for herself
and to induce Mr.. Asquith, the home SEQ.
retary, to release her from confinement.
SWALLOWED NEEDLES.
The 50. James Gazette to-day prints an
article ON Mrs. Maybrick and congratulates
the public upon the non-suocess Of the In
genious attempt to regain her freedom. The
Gdsette declares that her illness was caused
by her swallowing a number of needles that
she.had secreted from time TO time. These
needles produced an effusion or blood and
other symptoms OF lung disease. and re-
port was at once circulated that she was
dying from consumption.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-. Dec 3i.-The city coun-
ell met tonight prepared to act as q high
court Of impeachment upon the case OF the
suspended city treasurer, Michael Foerstel.
Shortly after assembling, however, new
resignation was received, this one addressed
by Mr.. Foerstel to the council through its
president. G. p. Walbridge. A short de-
after receiving the report Of the investigat-
ing committee, and also au acknowledge
ment Of his shortage from Treasurer Foer-
stel, the council. on the grounds that
the city was fully secured I;
that Foerstel was only Indirectly
responsible, that he had already suffered
sufficiently and was willing 20 make full
reparation for his sons act, accepted the
resignation, thus putting an end to the i'm.
peachment proceedings. An adjournment
was taken Immediately and the matter of
selecting a successor was postponed. Service
was made on Foerstel to-day In the i'm
peachment proceedings at his retreat,
Eureka, No., but as this did not
give him the legal five days
notice he was not present at the council
meeting tonight. Beyond these facts there
is nothing new In the shortage situation ex-
cept that several of the bondsmen are con-
sidering the matter Of suing Controller
Stevenson on his bond. They consider that
Controller Stevenson was neglectfui and
his bondsmen should be made to suffer, as
10 was his business TO check up young
Foerstel's accounts. They are looking up
the law on the subject.

His Sinking Spell Less Serious Than
the One of Two Weeks Ago.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 81. - ExsSecretary
Blaine was worse to-day. just how much
worse it is impossible TO determine, for the
reticence Of the physicians increases when-
ever Mr.. Blaine is not so well. They deny
that he had another sinking spell. such as
that Of two weeks ago tomorrow, and in
sisted this evening that he was better. It
seems probable that his relapse to-day was
not as serious as that of fortnight ago,
and that he displayed more strength in meet
ing it. But he is SO Ill and SO weak that
he cannot afford the least setback
and therefore any change which is not for
the better is very much for the worse. The
general expectation that Mr.. Blaine will not
recover prompted the belief when It was re-
ported to-day that he was worse that he
was near his end. The physicians deny this,
but they do not attempt TO predict that be
will live for any specific length OF time. They
will only state his condition from day TO
day, which they insist on the whole has
been better.

CEDAR RAPIDS. IA, Dec. 8l.-"System
federation" was agreed upon by the repre-
sentatives of the organized railroad en-
ployes in conference in this city to-day.
The term is used In contradistinction TO she
national federation, and means that the
members of the various orders On any
one system of road will be
left to decide for themselves
whether or not they will unite, and such an
act will be binding on them alone. The
conservative members Of the conference
feel that they have gained point. and
wherever the new plan is adopted 1t will
serve as a check against ili-advised strikes
or hastv action of any sort. Under tho
new plan, when the members Of any organ
ization have q grievance against their road.
tho grievance committee must first do all
In their power to settle 1t. When they fail,
the executive head OF the order must be
called in, and do his best to effect
a settlement. Not until both OF these have
failed can the executive sheads 10 all the
organizations be called upon. and then only
can a strike be ordered, but when ordered
all must 20 out It will ne seen that the
organization IA simple aud requires no new

the same fundamental principles, IL is
thought they will eventually come In.
