no REMODEL THE ASYLUM.
1t Is Deemed advisable to Hare the York
Begin at Once.


Begin at Once.
STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. 8.-The board
of directors of the State asylum at their
meeting tomorrow will probably take up
the question of commencing at once the
work of remodeling the old asylum.
The fund of SIS, 200 appropriated for this
purpose is not available until next year
but the directors recently had a conference
with Governor Budd, who brought the
matter before the State Board of Examin-
ers, and it was decided that the work
might go on at once.
The bills for repairs and alterations to
the old asylum building will be audited
every month by the Board of Examiners,
but will not be paid until after the LIST OF
January.
The idea of the directors in not delaying
the work further is to take advantage OF
present prices for building materials of all
classes. These are now advancing accord
ing to President Southworth, and for this
reason it is thought advisable to call for
bids and start the repairs before they &c
any higher.
Then, again, the directors want to have
the bulk of the work done before the rainy
season sets in. This will give considerable
work to Stockton people at a time when il
is needed. The matter will probably be
settled tomorrow.

County Hospital here four months ago
and whose desertion by her parents, John
Walker, son of partner OF John W.

published in The CALL, has at last found
home with Mr.. and Mrs N. G. Creole,
who will. with the consent of the parents,
legally adopt her in a few days. Mr..
Creede is one of the Los Angeles million

mother of the child was also adopted by
wealthy parents when very young.

STOCKTON, CAL, Aug. s.-Work on the
Stockton and Lodi Terminal Railroad is
progressing rapidly from the eompany's
water front to the Eight-mile House. The
graders camp was moved from Mrs.

Return of White Stockings.

There still remains a craze in Lon
don for light gloves stitched with
black, the smartest being those with
black buttons and black welts. Then
black treated with white in like
fashion with the added effect of white
stitching is both servioeable and orig
inal. A French correspondent hints at
the resuscitation OF white stockings
The reason given is the exceeding
popularity of white dresses, black hos
iery having been embroidered with
white to harmonic with these. A
new black silk stocking hast whole
OF the front let in with white Chantilly
lace. The description reads we'll, but
will women wear white stockings? In
the meantime, women are permitting
themselves unusual license in the
matter OF embroidery and lace, with
both black Isle thread and silk, the
lace being frequently carried from top
to toe. Brown hose is popular.

DONT'S OF INTEREST.
Some Good Advice for Newspaper
Readers.


Don't think you can kill o paper by
stopping it. You may have been a Jo-
nah TO it sll along.
Don't misinform newspaper in or
der to "get even" with some one. Do
your own fighting.
Don't think you can scal 9 the editor
by threats. That's rubbing the fur
the wrong way.
Don't tell the editor that you detest
newspaper notoriety and then get
mad if be believes you.
Don't expect to find as much matter
in one dollar country paper as a ten
dollar city daily.
Don't send to the Office every week
for three or four extra copies. An edi-
tor gets his breakfss. by selling papers.
Don't abuse paper unless you pay
for it. Borrowers are the greatest fault
finders newspaper has to contend
with.
Don't stop your paper if your three
column contribution is condensed into
eight lines. The condenser may have
done you q great favor.
Don't get mad if your neighbor's
doings are referred to oftener than
your own. Your modesty may be
keeping you in obscurity.
Don't get mad if your visitors ma ne
does not appear in the personal COL
umns OF the paper, Perhaps you did
not tell the editor; he's no mind read
err.
Don't declare a paper unreliable be-
cause an important item contains a
grave error. The editor may have
gotten his information from your
brother. sa
Don't delay to pay your subscription
because it is small matter. II several
thousand other subscribers did the
came way il would kill the paper in BIZ
months.
| Don't say q newspaper is mo &C
count" unless you have demonstrates
some ability to run one yourself. Per
haps you have failed in everything
you tried to do.
| Don't take paper from the postof
fee for five years and then refuse t.
pay for it because you never subscrib
ed Tor IL "nohow" This is thievery
pure and simple. You could have re
fused it four years and eleven month
before.
