Contagiousness of Leprosv.

In a paper giving the results of his care
ful and prolonged investigation of this
subject, DR.. Duncan Buckley declares
that it is not proven that any number of
individuals have ever acquired the dis
ease from direct contact with others af-
fected, or that it has ever been traced. in
any proportion of cases worth mention
ing, directly from one person to another.
There is strong reason to suspect. he saws.
that it may first be introduced into the
system by the way Of food, fish being the
most likely of all substances to furnish
and convey the poison; heredity prob
ably accounts for share of the cases.
but the disease is not necessarily trans.
mitted by inheritance; incubation with
leprous matter may be the means Of con-
veying the disease when all the condi-
tions are favorable.-New York Tribune.

GREAT RACING.
Much Interest Being Manifested in
State Fair Events.

Much Interest Being Manifested in
State Fair Events.
Local horse circles are excited over the
races which will take place at Sacramento
during the State Fair, says the San Fran
cisco Post. Interest is chiefly centered in
the two-year-old division, and it is being
touted about that Romulus will make all
corners look like dogs when he meets
them. Articus will be able to give him a
race, however, and despite the claims of
the tOuts should beat the son of Brutus.
1t will be remembered that in the spring
Articus held all two-year-olds safe with
the exception of Peter the Great, and
there are those who believe that he is now
the equal of that famous racer. He is a
grand race-horse, as he makes his run
at the finish and is as game as bulldog.
Judging by the way the free-for-all
PAGERS are going in the East and the time
they are making their races, Diablo could
drop in among them and defeat them all.
At Sacramento it is likely that DiabIo
viii be called on TO 60 against Silkwood
and. Our Dick. If he fights out a race
with such tried campaigners, the contest
will be the most attractive one seen in
the State during the season, and should
draw spectators from all parts of the
State.

Merit.
From the Petaluma Courier1
The Sacramento RECoRD-UNIoN has
entered on its eighty-sixth volume. This
newspaper is one of the institutions of
California and the Pacific Coast. A file
of this paper would constitute by far the
most complete and reliable history of
California which could possibly be pro-
duced. 1t is incomparably the best news
paper published on the coast outside of
San Francisco, and it possesses some
merits not known to the big blanket
sheets OF the metropolis. The personnel
of its editorial department is Of high
order of ability, and the immense circu-
lation, at home and over large expanse
OF outside territory, speaks for the "busi-
ness end'' of the concern. It
stands in the front rank of California
journalism. 1t has won proud place on
pure merit and richly deserves its good
name.

SAN BERNARDINo, Sept. 1st.
Governor II. H. Markham. Sncrn07elfo.
There were some anti-Chinese demon
strations here last night and more are
threatened tonight. 1t is claimed an
armed force will drive the Cinnamon
from Redlands at that time, as their forty
eight hours notice to leave will then be
up. The citizens are willing to be depu-
tlzed, but we have no arms nor ammu-
milton. The Redlands National Guards
are well armed and citizens there would
like to know that the Guards could be
used at once in case of necessity.
A demonstration, they argue, in it's in
clpiency. might nip it in the bud and
prevent blOodshed. My small force is
now divided between Redlands and San
Bernardino.

Police Clerk Hensley testified to hav-
ing seen Munro when he was brought
to the station that morning. He had
very little II any money on his person,
and made no statement. He noticed
the cuts on his face.
Judge Bean, police clerk, had asked
Munro when he got hurt. but got no
answer. Munro left the police station

questing Mr.. Bean to keep his name

M. M. Langstadter, a stationery

you be happy. d. MUNRO.

ciphered, but was in substance to the
effect that Miss limerick could take
anything in the Office she wanted. He
told her to keep fountain pen which
he left.
Both letters were badly written.
showing that he was under the infu-
ence OF liquor when he wrote them. Ink
was all over them, and they were writ
ten in very haphazard manner.
Mr.. Langstadter said that Munro had
told him that he was engaged to be
married to a young lady in Port Glib
son, Miss. Munro had been an intimate
friend OF his. He supposed that he
had committed suicide from despon-
dency caused by drink and the loss of
money in gambling.
+. II. Dyer testified to having found
the body in the lake at Westlake park
near the boat house, on the west side,
about 50 feet from the shore. He as
sisted in taking the body from the lake.
Two stones were taken from Munro's
pockets. He knew nothing else of the
circumstances.
Charles A. Rose said that while row.
ing on the lake his attention was called
to body floating near by. He assisted
in removing it.
DR.. Ainsworth testified to making an
examination of the deceased. He
thought the body had been in the lake
from seven to 10 days. Had found no
wounds upon the body except the elight
cuts on the face, and thought that from
the evidence it was plain case of sui
eide.
JIG. Newell, who owns the boats at
the park, testified that ne removed the
body from the water and telephoned the
fact to the police station.

ANOTHER PIONEER GONE
DAVID HOOVER KILLED IN A RUN.
AWAY ACCIDENT.
A Team Became Frightened and Ran
Away, killing the Drfver-Hc
Was G. A. X.
Man.

Coroner Gates held an inquest yester-
day morning upon the body of David
Hoover, who was killed by a runaway
team Saturday evening about o'clock.
Hoover lived with j. A. Brainerd at the
Repetto ranch, seven miles east of the
city. He came to the city Saturday
afternoon for load of lumber, driving q
male team. sqsa s9sitsf
aa sAtg21 O'Clock Mr. Brainerd assisted in
loading the wagon at Roeeile's lumber
yard corner Main and Jefferson streets.
= Mr.. Hoover was then left in charge and
he shortly afterward started for home.
In passing along Seventh street the
team became frightened and started to
run. BY the aid OF passers-by the
frightened animals were checked, but
their fright broke out anew later.
When Hoover reached the Occidental
college, about four miles east of the city,
the mules became uumanageable and
ran away. Some students of the college
saw the impending danger and went to
Hoover's assistance. The boys succeeded
in holding the frightened mules until
the old gentleman could regain his COM
posure. They then left him.
Hoover drove along until he reached
a hill when the frac:ious animals began
running again.
The students started in pursuit just
in time to see Mr.. Hoover fall from the
wagon. He was dragged some distance.
When the boys reached him he was
found to be dead. He had struck upon
his forehead, and his skull was crushed
by the fall.
The body was taken to the undertak-
ing parlors OF Orr & Co., where the in
quest was held yesterday.
Hoover was California pioneer, hav-
ing come to the state in 1856. He had
made his home with Mr.. Brainerd for
some time. Previous to that he had
worked in this city for years, and WAS
we'll and favorably known. He was a
member of Frank Bartlett post, G.. A.
R., and was 66 years of age.
