Boards of Education Must Specify the
Kind They Want.
In answer to letter from Samuel T.
Black, Superintendent of Public Instruc-
ton at Sacramento. the Attorney-General
yesterday sent the following:
In reply to your question, "Can it be held to
be a legal adoption (of textbooks under the
provisions of section 1874, p. CO. If the county
Board of Educa ton designates the books
adopted as follows: bookkeeping, Bryant and
Stratton, or any other standard work; Bust
ness Forms, any standard work, Reading, any
standard?" am of the opinion that any such
designation would not constitute legal adop-
ton, as it is the evident intent of the statute
that county Boards. of Education should
definitely designate some particular textbooks,
and that only the textbooks so designated
should be used
A designation of the character above set
forth is little better than no designation at all.
In answer to your further question as to
whether or not the failure of the publisher
whose bid is accepted to enter into the written
contract provided for in subdivision of Sec
ton 1874 of the Political Code vitiates the
adoption of the textbooks, it is my opinion
that such failure on the part of the publishers
to enter into the written contract does not viii
ate the adoption and that the Board of Educa-
ton accepting the bid of such publishers could
enfo rec compliance with the terms of the bid
accepted.

Turning from an artistic to a scientific
view of the place, one finds every provision
known to any modern bathing establish

by the medical world is here represented :;
such as the Turkish, electric, carbonic
acid, sulphur, mercurial, steam baths in
three grades, and shower baths that are a
distinctly new thing in this City.
Artistically and scientifically the place is
such as to appeal to the most critical taste,
and assume rank as one of the most promi-
nent features of San Francisco.

JUSTICE BLINDED.
The Case of George Thomas Moran, q
Police Court &" CRATER" Being In
uaot;uotad NV .IudDa TOu

The Case of George Thomas Moran, a
Police Court CRATER" Being In
vestigated by Judge Low.
One of the peculiar ways in which justice
is deceived came to light yesterday, and
Judge Low is to make thorough investi-
CATION to find out who is responsible.
George Thomas Moran was arrested on
May for vagrancy and threats against
life The latter charge was for threa ten
ing to kill a woman who had been sup
porting him for over a year. He was re-
leased on $500 bonds, but on May II the
bond was set aside by Judge Low and
Moran was ordered into custody because
he had renewed his threats to kill the
woman.
When the case was called on May Is the
woman refused to prosecute on the charge
OF theats to kill, and Judge Low convicted
Moran on the charge of vagrancy and sem
fenced him to six months in the House of
Correction. Attorney McGrath filed no.
tice of appeal with Clerk Sullivan that
day, and on May 20 an order of discharge
was presented at the House of Correction
for Moran's release, purporting to be
signed by Judge Low, and he was released.
This order of discharge has been mis-
placed at the House of Correction and can
OF be found. Judge Low says he did not
sign it and did not accept any bond on ap-
peal which, as committing magistrate,
Should have been presented to him for ac-
ceptance. Besides, no statement of appeal
was received by Clerk Sullivan.
Moran was one of the "grafters" arrested
last Tuesday for vagrancy, and the atten-
ton of Judge Low was called to his pre-
vious arrest and conviction. He at once
issued bench warrant for Moran's arrest.
He was taken before Judge Bahrs yester-
day, who affirmed the judgment of the
lower court and Moran was sent to the
House of Correction. After serving his six
months he will have to stand his trial for
grating around the Police courts.

AT THE INSTITUTE.
What the Specialists Are Doing to
Restore Health and Strength

it's an established rule of the Institute that
no incurabIe diseases are taken. If an applicant
is found to be suffering from true cancer or tu-
bercular consumption he is frankly told that
he cannot be cured, though much may be done
to allay his sufferings, but as medical science
has yet failed to discover any cure for these
two dreadful maladies, all the physicians Of
the Institute say, freely and frankly, that it is
beyond human power to remove these evils
Nevertheless, it should not be forgotten that
there are many instances where mistakes have
been made in diagnosing these diseases, so 1t is
well for all sufferers to apply for help at the

BE WATcHFuLt

The prevalence of diphtneria a: Laurel. and
IN rather virulent form at that, is a matter OF
some concern TO the people of Washington.
for the reason that intercourse between the
two places is frequent, and number OF
clerks employed in the government depart
ments live there. According TO report, six
deaths have occurred within few days., and
a number of aggravated cases OF the disease
are now under treatment.
Perhaps. so far as Washington is con-
cerned, this may be a case in which sweet
are the uses OF adversely, in that it en-
phasizes the necessity for prompt action on
the part of Congress to provide the means re-
CURED for establishing plant for the manu-
facture of anti-toxine. Ii the laboratory were
in operation now it would not only be an
assurance to our people that the remedy for
the dreaded malady was close at hand, but if
might even be possible to lend aid to the dis
tressed Laurelites by supplying them with the
diphtheria cure.
Above all things. however, it is necessary
that proper care and watchfulness be cxer-
cised TO guard against contagion being trans
planted from Laurel to Washington, and in
this particular every one familiar with the
traffic between Washington and our Mary
land neighbor can cooperate.

SANITATION CT ALLEYS.

Tie extraordinary exertions made by the
local health authorities 10 guard against the
possible spread of smallpox among the popu-
Iation Of the alleys of Washington cali atten-
ton TO the necessity for the systematic a"d
thorough sanitation of those lOca ties. When
eve the con :itions of temperature favor the
eermil lating or spread of disease these alleys
offer the mo I fertile Iropagating grouni for
it.
Washington is more favored in respect of
the sanitary condition of the alleys than
probably any other city of its size. As a
rule they are cleaDlier than those generally
found in large cities. nor are they as narrow
ortortuous or inaccessible % light and air as
are those OF New York or Baltimore or osher
places that might be named. The general
plan OF the city. the generous proportions
upon which il is laid out. are responsible for
this primarily favorable condition.
To this general rule, however. there are
notable exceptions. In South Washington
and in the northern section OF the city
are alleys tenanted 10y people TO whom the
very IDEA Of cleanliness is a stranger, and
roa Is OF diseases that are bred and ie1 10y
dirt aud the sloyenly HABITS o, the people.
Il i OF the utmost importance that oar heath
authorities should turn their early attention
to these places and exercise unreaItInS Nig.-
lance over them. Here it IS not a question
OF making thoroughiare preseatable to the
eve but 20 eliminate, as far as possible. The
conditions favorable TO the origin and dis
semination of disease.
There has been no remissness in this re-
spect on the part of the Commis iioners OF
the health Officer. or even the Subordinate
officials charged with sanitary surveillance
and execution; but there is reason to be-
lieve that the means al their disposal are
not sufficient for such thorough and con
tinuous work as the necessities OF the case
call for. This should be supplied, for ih'
interests of the city and its people demand il.

IN HOUSE AND SENATE.

no progress was made before adjournment
Gen. Grosyenor presented reply to the
memorial sent to the Judiciary Committee
by Mr.. Ritchie of Akron, Ohio, containing
supplementary charges against Judge Ricks
and involving ex-senator II. B. Payne and
Judge Stevenson Burke. He asked for an in
Festigation of the charges.
The Senate gave the day yesterday to fur
ther speeches, in which the income tax served
as text for wide range of discussion on
the tariff, the currency and the Populist plat
form. Mr.. Hills proposition made last week
60 amend the deficiency bill so that the in
come tax would be tested in the courts has
apparently started an inexhaustible flow of
speeches on public affairs in general
Mr.. Cockrell, in charge of the deficiency
bill. has sought vainly to secure a vote on the
Hill amendment so that the deficiency bill
might move along to final passage. He hoped
TO secure action yesterday, but the speeches
of Mr.. Call, OF Florida, and Mr. Allen, of
Nebraska. made this impossible.
Mr. Allen took occasion to defend the
Populist party against many charges made in
ana out of Congress that it was party of
vagaries. 1t led 10 a very full discussion of
all Populist doctrines and comparison of
them with the doctrines of other parties.
