over a million and half of people. had

that nothing would satisfy the audience
but repeating it.

dancers that they kept it up till late

He Obeyed Orders.

In some Texas towns it is impossible
to ascertain when any particular train
leaves without going to the depot and in
quiring of the agent how many hours be-
hind time the train is. Colonel Yerger,
who lives in Austin, wished TO go to San
Antonio on the IL o'clock train, so he
said to his colored servant:
Sam, go down to the depot and see
what time the IL o'clock train leaves"
1t was o'clock when Sam returned.
"Well, when does the train leave?"

ELECTRIC Sunsrroke.

The phenomenon known as "electric
sunstroke" is now attracting special at
tention by reason of its frequency among
workmen employed in melting metals
by means of the electric process. The
intense voltaic arc between the carbon
and the metal to be melted emits rays,
producing sensation similar to that of a
burn on uncovered portions of the body.
There is frequently great pain, sleepless-
ness. and in some cases fever. The skin
becomes copper-colored or bronzed, the
eyesight is sometimes temporarily lost
and followed by what is known as 'yel-
low vision," with sensation as of sand
under the eyelids. The most effective
remedy is perfect rest in subdued light,
which causes the symptoms to subside
in few days, the copper skin peeling
of, and the patient regaining his old con-
dition Of sight and health.

PROGRESS OF INTELLIGENCE.

Twenty years ago to favorably men
ton cremation of the dead was to invite
the charge of crankiness and set half OF
the medical boards in the land bowling.
To-day not medical faculty in the coun-
try disapproves of cremation and the
vast majority advocate it.
In 1885 there was but one crematory in
the Union; to-day there are sixteen.
The first incineration in the United States
in due form occurred in 1885; now hun
dreds are cremated annually. But one
church in the civilized world to-day
stands out against cremation-the Roman
Catholic still forbids it. But it will join
the procession of progress presently. 1t
is simply impossible for it long to defy
reason, sanitary science and the decent
method of disposing Of our beloved dead.
A mistaken notion about incineration
probably influences many to antagonize
it-namely, that the body is burned.
Nothing of the kind; coal nor flame ever
touch it at the crematory. The coffin is
committed to carriage moving upon a
track leading into retort chamber rosy
with superheated oxygen. There the
gas chemically unites at high tempera-
ture with the carbonaceous elements of
the body, and the result is gentle melt
ing away, leaving few ounces Of pearly
ashes beneath the alum sheet that COW
cred the casket. These ashes are placed
in an urn and delivered to the relatives,
who may bury them and erect a monu-
ment over them or send them to be placed
beside the remains of others of the FAM
lily at some distant point.
Burial and cremation are, in, fact, one
and the same in the end. Burial is fol-
lowed by, long process of decay, un-
pleasant and revolving even to contem-
plate, but in the end incineration is ac-
complished and only ashes remain. Gre
nation is simply speedy incineration,
and ashes is, as in the other case, the re-
suit.
Between the two processes, let any sem
sible person reflect which is most cleanly,
which least revolving, which most re-
spectful to the dead, which least danger
Gus to the living.
California has now two crematories, one
in San Francisco and one in Los Ange-
les. The third ought to be erected here.
OF all soils those OF the hot valleys should
receive the fewest deoaying bodies of
either men or beasts. We should forbid
the burial of horses, dogs and other ami
mails, and for precisely the same reasons
we should not bury the dead of our own
kind. We ought to cremate our garbage
and all filth and animal and vegetable
waste matter, which by decay pollutes
the ground. and here, especially, in the
warm valleys and with our porous soils,
through which all drainage and water
flow, above the low-lying clay beds, is
horizontal.

THE holding of primaries by postal
card is under discussion in Los Angeles.
The claim is that with all objections to
the scheme considered, it will be an i'm
provement on the present system. But
this has not yet been made clear. While
expression by postal card would secure a
larger vote of party men, it has not been
explained as yet how the identity of the
signers of the postal votes could be estab-
lished. Until some scheme is devised to
insure that the plan is impracticable.

THE PHILADELPHIA ANARCHISTS

THE PHILADELPHIA ANARCHISTS.
The anarchists arrested in Philadelphia
for incendiary talk and threatening, and
for Indictment to lawlessness, are all
Russians-the kind who should never
have been admitted. These fellows, who
have no conception whatever of free
government. who look upon any lawful
restraint as tyrannous, preached to the
crowds they could gather in the streets
that the right thing to do is to raise the
red flag over the Capitol at Washington,
depose all officials. kill all policemen.
disband all the troops, burn the houses OF
the we'll to-do, seize the money of those
who have, declare all property titles void,
and set all men free to do, take and en-
Joy as they please and without hindrance,
provided only that no one should trespass
upon the right of another to do as he
pleases, and that for the common good
everyone should be compelled to do cer-
tain amount of work and produce cer-
tain quantity of the staples necessary to
life.
Right there is where the anarchist runs
aground. In order to make this proviso
of any effect authority has to be estab-
lished, and authority is government. the
very thing the anarchist declares must be
destroyed, no matter what its form or
purpose. The Philadelphia anarchists

ADJUSTMENTS

The Clunie Opera-house was filled last
night-the first time this week-and
mainly by new audience. 1t was sur
prised one, too. On all sides the express
sion was that there had been entertained
no idea that SO good an operate company
was singing here. The people on the
stage felt the sympathy and support OF
the large audience, and they fairly outdid
themselves, giving as neat, hawless and
enthusiastic performance of 1.-The Mas
cot' as one might wish to see and hear.
For small company the success OF this
one has been surprising, and last night
seemed to be the crown of the week for
it. Miss Huff has become prime favor
ite, her strong, sympathetic contralto,
her acting quality, naturalness, earnest
ness and high animal spirits win for
her the favor of all. Since Jennie
Winston was here years ago. no contralto
has so won upon the Sacramento public
in comic opera. Miss Southern fairly
shares the honors with her, and Miss
Loomis is complimented nightly in
way to crafty conscientious artist.
Miss Bedull grows in favor, though she
has but small opportunity in LA Mas
cot' to prove the quality of her soprano.
Her solo in the first act however, gives
good promise. The business" of Cor

ger Todd in substituting opera for drama
holds out the second week it will be safe
to count upon it as a fixture for season
extending we'll into the summer. It Is
his purpose, he says, to introduce, as the
need may be, new voices, and if the pub
lie support justifies it. to strengthen the
