The Girls of Mexico.

ga great deal of this talk about the
beauty of the Spanish and Mexican
women, is bosh," said James c. Madison,
of Guaymas, Mexico, at the National
Mr.. Madison is an American who is in
terested III Mexican silver mines, and
has spent the most of the last seven years
in that country.
"Many of the Mexican girls of the
higher classes are very pretty along the
years fifteen, sixteen, up to twenty five.
Then they begin TO decay, and at thirty
five they are anything but attractive.
They are all born tlirts, and have most
alluring and captivating way of coquet-
tishly concealing their faces behind long
mantillas usually OF a bright color, and
peeping out from behind these at fellow.
On the theory that a skirt dance is more
suggestive than the march of the ANA
IONS ballet, Mexicans girls appear TO the
stranger to be very beautiful. They all
do have wonderful eyes, black and spark
ling. But Pve seen more pretty women
this afternoon. on + street, than Mexico
will produce in the next fifty years."-

THE ELECTRIC RAILWAY.

All Branches of the System to be
Operated Henceforth.
To-day the Central Electric Railway
Company will put its entire system into
operation, which will give Sacramento
the best street-ear service enjoyed by any
city outside of San Francisco.
For some months past Superintendent
Kingsbury has been carrying on the
work of Urack-laying on the new branches
embraced in Messrs. Livermore and
Gallatin'S franchise, beside rebuilding the
tracks on the old lines with heavier rails
and new ties and laying double tracks In
many streets where there had been but
one. The company now has a splendidly
built system, which is rapidly being
equipped with new and modern cars.
One OF the new double-end cars re-
ceived by the company from the Carter
Bros. factory at Newark. Alameda
County, was run yesterday on the P
street line. 1t is handsome and COM
modious car, and there are several more
like it. At the company's shop at Tween
ty-eighth and NJ streets eight OF these
cars, patterned after the cable cars used
in San francisco, are being constructed.
When all are completed the company
will have thirteen cars with outside seats
and other modern improvements.
Commencing to-day cars will run
through from the depot 10 street. up j
to Tenth, thence to X, up K to Fifteenth,
thence to P, up the latter street to
Twenty-frst, and thence across to Y
street. This is a new line, just COM
pleted. and will prove great convenience
to residents in those portions OF the city
through which it runs.
The G-street cars will run only to
Agricultural Park, and the East Park
cars will run from II street across Twen-
tieth to j. and down J to Second, thence
to the depot.
The M-sLreet system will not be operated
over the J-street tracks west of Fifteenth
street, hereafter but will come down X
street from Fifteenth to Tenth, and
thence to street.
Mr.. Kingsbury is preparing new
pocket time-card, which will give strang-
ers full information as to the time OF
leaving and arriving at the various points,
places of resort reached, etc.

BRIEF NOTES.

L. P. McCarty, publisher and propri-
etor of the Aasnltat Statisticia1, is in the
city.
While the flag was being raised over
the RECORD UNION building yesterday
the halyards broke. This accounts for
the failure of the flag to float on Memorial
Day.
Joseph Mcdonald was arrested yester-
day by Special Officer Click. He is
charged with vagrancy, but it is said he
gave whisky to some children near East
Park and urged them to drink it.
There is no clue as yet TO the person
who committed the dastardly attempt to
burn the house occupied by NJ. j. Stahl,
1913 street, on Tuesday night. as stated
in the REcoRD-UNIoN yesterday.
A new club has been formed-accord-
ing to a letter received at this Office the
alleged purpose of which is ''to cheat
other fellows of their girls" If the list
of members should be published, as re-
quested, perhaps there would be very
little of that kind of cheating done-that
is, if the girls were able to read.

OLD Edinhurgh Inns.

If accommodation in the hostelr les was
poor, the fare was cheap and good. Arnot
says that in the Edinburgh of those days
men could command luxuries of the
table which in London they could
scarcely find within the reach of double
the same income. IAN Edinburgh tav-
ern Of good one is the best of all tav-
erns,' he says. Claret a liquor whose
introduction into Scotland was traceable
to the friendly intercourse with France,
was favorite drink. Chambers says
that in public houses and in considerable
mansions itwas commonly kept on tap.
In 1920 and Edinburgh dealer adver-
tised in The COurdnt meat claret wine at

and English ale I'D per bottle. Among
the poorer classes two-penny ale was the
liquor most in vogue Dinners were
charged at moderate rates. In the middle
of the eighteenth century prominent
lawyer dined daily with friend in the
Lawnmarket for "twa greats and a
piece" as they expressed it. A groat
was equal to fOurpence.
After dusk the adventurous stranger
who wanted to see real life in Edinburgh
could dive into one of those dark subter-
ranean cellars. which were the "howffs"
of judges, of literary men and of the lead
ing citizens. There. surrounded by the
jovial company he could

BRUTAL ACT.
A Sick Animal Thrown Out and Left
to Die in an Alley.

A Sick Animal Thrown Out and Left
to Die in an Alley.
Someone, needless and cruel, tied a
sick dog closely in bag and threw the
bundle into the alley between Fifth and
Sixth, K and i streets. where the suffer-
ing animal lay day and night. until
two officers of the Humane Society
heard of the matter and on Monday
killed the animal to put it out of it's
misery.
The question which occurs to the Off
GERS is, why did no one in the nighbor-
hood have humane feeling sufficient to
dispatch the poor brute, or at once notify
the society when the animal was thrown
Into the alley?"
Information leading to the discovery of
the person who placed the animal where
found and left it to suffer is desired by
the Humane Society.

CHICAGO, june 96-The assassination OF

fresh interest to the case of Carter Har-

room that this latest Staying of public
character would have its effect on the
Prendergast jury, and that material
would be found in the person of Prender-
CAST for an example to would be assassins

and appeared less nervous than hereto
fore. He feigned inattention. The days
proceedings developed nothing sensa-
