Anti-Ciosrette Movement.

EDS. RECORD With your KIND
permission / desire to make few state
ments in regard to an anti-cigarette
movement that is just about to be inau-
gurated in Sacramento.
About two months ago the District
Union of the Bands of Hope of this city
discussed the cigarette question and came
to the conclusion that so omething should
be done 10 eliminate the cigarette evil
which is so prevalent in Sacramento, es-
pecially among the younger boys, upon
whom the cigarette has the more power
full and dangerous effect. At this meeting
a committee of six was appointed TO take
the necessary steps for this purpose and
make arrangements for holding an anti
cigarette mass meeting in the near future.
The committee has carefully gone over
the ground and laid its plans. During
their discussions the schoolboy has been
uDpermost in their minds. They realize
the fact, as do other organizations In
different departments, that the success of
any movement depends upon the educa-
ton of the young.
And as the schoolbOy Of to-day is the
citizen OF to-morrow, it is our duty, not
only as Christians, but as citizens, to see
that the coming generation Is composed
of young men with good moral charac-
ters, without vicious habits, for such is
the cigarette habit, and that they have
clear heads. We want brains and not
smoke at the head of our Government,
and no pains should be spared to have 1t
such.
The committee therefore have extend
ed an especial invitation to the schol-boys
of our city to be present at the coming
mass meeting, notice Of which Will be
given in the near future; nor would we
forget those boys who do not attend our
public schools, nor those who are COM
pelled, by circumstances, to work, nor
those boys in the streets who have no par
tlcular aim in life, no occupation, no de-
sire to be anybody. We want them; We
want to show them wherein they have
gone astray, and we want TO impress 1t
upon their minds that the cigarette more
than any other evil has made them way
ward.
There is surely great need for such
movement in Sacramento. The time has
passed when it is considered cute" for q
| little boy in knee pants to puff cigar
| elite; for society has found out to its par
tial ruin that the cigarette has been the
cause OF so much crime and lawleSSness.
A noted physician of Brooklyn. \. y,
has declared from his own observation
that the evil of the cigarette is even worse
than that of alcohol; for it is found in
nearly every case that the appetite for
strong drink is preceded by smoking the
! cigarette.
| / hope this matter will be thoroughly
| discussed through the newspapers and in
conversation, and then when the mass
meeting, which has been called by this
/ committee. is held, many may come for
ward to express themselves personally,
and do what they can by influence and
| self-exertion to drive this curse from the
reach of our boys. +. A. STICKNEY,
Secretary of the Committee.

WHAT BECOMES OF The CHILDREN 4?
The Steady Decrease in the Number
of School Pupils.
President Davis of the Board OF Edu-
cation Makes an Interesting Re-
port on the Subjects

At last nights session of the City Board
OF Education President Win j. Davis
presented the following report as the re-
suit of his inquiries into the subject of the
decrease in the school census returns Tor
the last year:
REPORT OF THE PRESIDENT.
The matter of the taking OF the annual
census 1 deem of such Importance as to
Justify the calling of attention to some
facts and conclusions that have been as
certained and founded upon my lngestl-
cations, so that they may be considered
by the members of the board and the
public. Aside from the incentive for
full and accurate compilation of vital
statistics, there is to be considered the
bearing it has on the State and county
school moneys, which, under the law,
must be apportiOned to the several
counties in proportion to the number OF
school census children between the ages
OF five and seventeen years, as shown by
the returns of the School Census MarshaIs
of the preceding school year."
The County School superintendent IS
then to calculate at the rate OF one teacher
for every seventy school census children
or fraction thereof, not less than twenty,
as shown by the latest census, and 500 Is
RppOrtioned for every teacher SO deter
mined upon. The balance is distributed
per capita on the average attendance.
Provision is also made for a county tax
calculated on the number of census chill
dren between the ages mentioned, pro-
portion of which also passes into the con-
troll of this board. These moneys, to-
Rether with the amount raised by special
tax on tee county assessment roll upon
the deficiency estimates made by this
board, maintain the primary and gram
mar departments.
The State and county per capita for
each such child at present allowed this
board is about 81, hence the failure to
correctly enumerate means loss TO the
city school fund OF that amount for each
child omitte q
The records of this board, except for
later years, are so meager that but little
satisfactory data on the subject is obtain
able, but tabulation from the returns OF
the Census Marshals for the last six years
exhibits the following, based on an
enumeration OF the children between the
ages of five and seventeen only:

since that time the Eadih9 pdDlica-
tions have had submitted to them such
a very small amount of verse that the
supply has received far more attention
than is usually the case Why the
young men and women who usually
deluge the magazine sanctums of New
York with specimens Of their prosody
have suddenly become suppressed is a
thing for which no editor can find an
explanation Certain 1t Is that the
supply of poetry has become alarming
ly short, and, for the first time in dec
ade, there have been placed orders for
poetry that cannot be filed, apparent
ly, for some time to come.
However, there is one very adequate
explanation of the new condition of
things. 1t is that those youthful per
sons who would like to find expression
in the form of verse have been so dis
couraged and have been made to be-
lieve that they are only rendering
themselves the objects of ridicule that
they have concluded not to send their
productions to the editors. As re-
suit, there comes INTO New York so lit
tie poetry that the supply has fallen
short of the demand How to remedy
this is Just what the editors do not ap-
pear to know.

MIR. Sage has become almost mystery,
SO sohcatous is he that not the slightest
information of what he is doing In the
monetary world shall be made known.
Hence It has come about that several
rumors, all more or less contra
dictory. have been set afoat as to the
extent of his recent deals. For in
stance, IT has been surmised that he is
the fnancfer who has been interesting
himself with the Rothschilds in an EN-.
6eavor to corner the gold market and
TO set the tide of gold floating toward
Europe, although it is not easy to see
what object he can have In doing such
n thing. At all events it is denied on
behalf Of Mr.. Sage that he is concerned
in any effort to influence the gold mar.
ket at all.
The gold idea probably has it's origin
In his fondness for the metal in the
shape of ornaments. When he makes
present Of anything to anybody-and
he makes such presents more frequent
.y than one would suppose In view OF
his reputation for ''closeness"-it is in
variably of some object made of gold.
The quantities of that metal which he
keeps in his Fifth avenue home would
make a eoodly sum if coined at one of
the smints. But if he is in any gold
deal, as reported, he is successful IL
suppressing evidence of the fact.
