4 YOUNG GIRLS FORTUNE.
AN INTERESTING SKETCH.

Nothing appeals so strongly to a mothers
affection as her daughter just budding into
Womanhood. Following is an instance; "0ur
daughter, Blanche, now Is years of age had
been terribly afflicted with nervousness, and
had lost the entire use of her right arm. She
was in such q condition that we had to keep
her from school and abandon her music les
sons. In fact, we feared st. Vitus dance, and
are positive but for an Invaluable remedy she
would have had that terrible affection. We
had employed physicians, but she received no
benefit from them. The first of last August she
weighed but 70 pounds and although she has
taken only three bottles of Eervine she now
weighs lO6 pounds; her nerY ousness and symp-
toms OF st. Vltus dance are entirely gone, she
attends school regularly, and studies with COM
fort and ease. She, has recovered complete use
OF her arm, her appetite is splendid and no
money could procure for our daughter the health

fountain TO that tair city. AS all well-regula-
tad fountains should have an inscription. the
PittsbuIg Medical ReUietg suggests the follow
ing:
Erected To The memory of one hundred
ana sixty-one citizens who drank of this
water and died of typhoid-iever during the
year 1898. This water is warranted TO be
drawn from the Allegheny River at point
where the discharges of eighteen sewers of
Ptttsburg are mingled with the stream, and
eacn drop contains on an average two
hundred bacteria" And adds:
'These eighteen sewers drain an area OF
1000 acres. Some of them pour their
contents into the river a short distance
above the infiuent pipes of the Allegheny
Water Works, not TO mention the surface
drain from upper Allegheny and the numer-
GUS towns along the Allegheny and its tribu-
tarles. The discharges from the West Penn
Hospital patients find their way into the
river at a point that is specially well adapted
Tor transference into the Allegheny reservoir,
ana as many lever patients are treated there
during the summer and fall months, when
the stage OF the water IN the river Is usually
low, the prevalence OF fever ana death in
Allegheny is to be expected, and the source OF
the infection is not difficult to trace
II the advocates OF river water for Sac
ramento who are doing so much to knock
down the clear, pure water plan, viii
substitute in the foregoing Sacramento
for Allegheny. the Folsom Prison for the
West Penn Hospital, Marysville and the
river towns for the Allegheny bank
towns. the tule basins for the 1000 acre
area, and the sloughs above the American
draining the overhowed paature lands on
the north side. the bank ranches and the
fish boat houses that line the river above
the city and make the stream their cess
pool, for Pittsburg, the article will fairly
we'll fit the local conditions.
The mortality referred to in Allegheny
cannot be said to be parallel with like
fatality here from a similar canse, but
the situation grows worse every season,
and no one can tell what may at any
time develop. But strike out all con-
siderations of that character, and con-
slider the simple question of decency,
cleanliness and regard for what passes
the lips on the road to the internal
economy-paugh!

The Citizens Executive Committee
ask the people to decorate their houses
during the days next week when the Re-
publican Convention is in session here.
A good idea, and one that should be acted
upon generally. Certainly the business
streets should present holiday appear
ance. Sacramento labored hard and sue
cessfully to secure the conventions; now
let her receive it In her best bib and
tucker. Such things are worth all they
COST The guests feel that it Is done in
their honor and it gratifes the vanity
which all men have in some degree. 1t
viii make them think kindly of the city
and its people.
But what is better still to cultivate
friendly regard for Sacramento, which
has so many foes ready to do her harm, is
for our people to show some social atten-
ton to delegates in quiet, unostentatious
way. An invitation to dinner or lunch
in the homes of our citizens of such dele
gates as we are pleased to know and well
come in our homes. will GO long way
toward making capital for the Capital
City. Moreover, it is an attention that is
meet and gratifying. 1t will enable our
people to manifest hospitality in truer
sense than any other that can be adopted.
The Executive Committee has debated
this very question, but, we are told. feels
hesitaney about suggesting it to the peo-
pie. We do not; it is social idea that is
worthy, and that will doubtless be acted
upon by scores of our citizens. In other
words, let US have the latch-strings of our
homes on the outside for all worthy
guests next week.

The Populists declare against bonds of
any sort. But the Populists in Oakland
are in a decided corner. That city has
1882 school bonds out for $4,000 and in
terest; they are due and must be paid by
increased taxation the coming year, un-
less a vote for refun ding at lower rate
of interest prevails at the coming bond
election. Financial wisdom points to re-
funding as the wise plan, aud under
which the debt will be discharged by
one-twentieth lnstallments. How will the
Populists vote, for pocket or sentiment? :?

PoPULIsr papers delight to rehash the
charge that the public debts of the coun-
try amount to $50, 900, 900, 900, or S46l per
capita. The Los Angeles Express chal-
lenged the statement, and the Populist
papers reaffirmed it. Thereupon the
actual figures are given by the Express.
dug up out of the official records, and
quoted from Populist Senator PETERS s
April speech in the Senate-namely, that
the public debt is S2.027. no. $40. This is
divided as follows: United States, $780,
96O, ,1O4; counties. sl45, ,O4s.O4S. municipali-
ties, S724, ass, $50; school districts, $50, 7O1,
AS. But the Populist organs will still
repeat the falsehood they have created.
The consistency with which they adhere
to error is their most distinguishing char
acteristic.

THE California Worlds Fair Commits
sion has returned 10000 of the 100000
appropriated by the State for its uses.
This fact leads the San Jose Mercury to
suggest that the money be set aside for
the next worlds fair, as it would be the
most unique exhibit California could
place on view. The proposition is not
devoid of wit. But if half the money
had been used to put fresh fruit on exhi-
bition at Chicago when most needed dur
ing the fair, it would have been wise use,
and strictly within the law authorizing
them to maintain an exhibit of the prod
ucts of the State.

Eastern Capitalists Take the Entlre
Issue OF. S600,0O0
Many capitalists were present at the
State Treasurer's Office yesterday after
noon to witness the sale at auction of
s6O0, 900 worth of the San Francisco depot

The sale was made in pursuance of an
Act of the Legislature of 1891, providing
for the issuance and sale of State bonds TO
create q fund for the construction and
furnishing by the Board of State Harbor
Commissioners of ferry and passenger
depot in San Francisco and to create
sinking fund for the payment of the
bonds.
The whole batch was sold to the firm of
Farson, Leach d Co. of New York and
Chicago at Sl0l 3-16 for each $lO0. The

"On the 4th OF March, 1895, Hon. Grove

seat in Congress as the Representative OF
the Second Congressional District of the

So says the Sacramento RECORD UNION.
OF course, Mr.. Johnson has neither been
nominated nor elected, and the journal
that goes into the prophet business is
wise to leave some chance to hedge. If
the Republicans are determined 10 elect
a Congressman from that district, the
,St1J has no objections to Mr.. Johnson;
in fact, we should be pleased, and Mr..
Johnson has many friends in this part OF
the State who would be pleased with his

HAPPER'S
Pictorial History
Or THE
Civil w ar.

This great book has sold for years
at $40 to $50 in two big volumes.
The pages are I68xII3 inches.
There are 832 pages. Lots of maps
and sketches, and one big colored
map 23x33 inches.
People wanted them, but couldn' t
afford $40 and kept asking for the
old "Harper's Weekly during the
War" After the pictures had been
put into this big, new, complete his
tory, the old Weekly plates were de
stroyed and now those files are scarce.
But the big history was SO inter
esting, and, being compiled from all
the official records, was so COM
plete and valuable that thousands
bought it.
Now it is all cut up and everybody
is getting it and being surprised.
1t is made into 26 big parts, 80
big pages in each, and printed on
nice supercalendered paper-better
than ever before-and has a hand
some buff cover with emblematic de-
sign on each part.
The parts have sold as high as 81
each, but can be got for only 8 cents
each if you know how. The
pictures alone are worth more than
that, but the story and copies OF
many official documents and state
papers of priceless historic value, all
go in with the pictures.
