NOTE AND COMMENT.

\ large group Of puble-spirited young men
has called mass meeting for Friday night
of this week TO consider the question of the
cleaning of the residence streets Of the city.
1t is 10 be hoped that there will be large at
tendance on that occasion. We do not have
enough of these town meetings. Were there
more OF them held. and consultations had
upon purely local subjects with view to oct
termenI of conditions. we would be happier
and more prosperous community. As 10 this
matter OF cleaning the residence streets, there
being no city fund for the purpose, 1t must be
undertaken if at all by outside influences. 1t is
by no means monstrous question or scheme.
On the contrary, it is a very simple and
practical thing. II the proper spirit is awak-
The record-union., 1895-08-14

ened all the residence streets can be cleaned
by fifteen minutes Of personal effort by COM
paratively few in the first instance, and ten
minutes of effort once a week thereafter, to
keep our highways in ''apple-pie order so far
as filth, loose stones, distractions on the road
way and waste and refuse in the cutters is
concerned. With the streets cleaned nicely,
as may be done with ease and without out
lay save such the Street Superintendent
can and wilt make 10 remove the matter gatE-
cred, Sacramento viii be ready for her Sep
tember guests and not ashamed TO challenge
their criticism. Let Friday nights meeting
be large one, a dignified, calm and earnest
one Let men and women who believe they
have some pride in the city of their home
come out and second the effort of the young
men who have so handsomely inaugurated
movement that means great deal more than
many are apt 10 fancy.

ANOTHER rascal has shot woman be-
cause she refused his proffered love-and
very properly did she refuse. since she
was affianced to man of her choice.
The assassin this time is q coast county
man, and the scene of the tragedy was
Oakland It would seem that no punish
ment is too severe for these fellows who
kill women because they refuse them
selves to them. TO hang such mon is
wholly inadequate punishment. If it
were not condemned by our civilization
and humanity, such murderous rascals
should be broken upon the wheel. tor
tured on the rack, or have something
done to them with boiling oil or molten
lead in it." Seriously, soberly, there
ought to be some way of putting the pitt
fully weak and cowardly rascals in ter
ror, by way of restraint, who fasten their
Iustful eyes upon women and attempt TO
kill them because they refuse to join their
fortunes with such miserable whelps.

highest element OF this courage has been
the courage of his conviction. C. c.
Goodwin in the Senate of the United
States would be potent reinforcement
of the legislative power of all the States
and Territories west of the Rocky Mount
aims. California has, therefore, a direct
interest in his selection for that great
office, and it is a matter of the highest
significance that these statements will be
received with approval equally by friends
and opponents.

TO-DAY the packing of the exhibits of
the State Board of Trade begins, prepara-
tory to shipment of the goods to Atlanta
for the great exposition to open in Octo-
Der. Immediately following this ship
mont there will be sent on probably any
other goods that counties may desire to
place as exhibits in the California section.
Secretary Filcher of the State Board of
Trade says that the necessary fund is
about 81 900 short as yet, but that such is
the faith of the committee supervising in
the pledge of the counties, that the work
will 90 on in expectancy of the receipt of
the coin. The counties delinquent should
not allow another day to pass without
raising the quota that each is to pay. This
splendid opportunity for California must
not be permitted to suffer the slightest
embarrassment for want of funds.

years kept 1t in the house for use
whenever / felt a return Of the old
pains. 1t never failed in giving me re-
lief. The other members of my family
also began to take Tiny wife for a
feeling of general weakness. she being
at that time much run down and never
feeling well enough to perform the
work Of the home. Within a week she
was, as she expressed it, as well as
ever in her life,' and similar reports
came from all our friends to whom we
had recommended 1t.
IL feel confident that in nervous head
aches and a run down system the
compound will be beneficial every time,
if not a perfect cure.
''ln some instances We have not only
recommended it, but furnished it to
very aged friends, and the effect of one
bottle has seemed marvellous, one par
ticular old friends of mine telling me
that before one bottle lhad been used
he felt at least ten years younger, and
certainly had not felt as good for ten
years
During the last five years / have
used n great many bottles of the COM
pound-that is, in my home. l am
positive that it is sure cure for ner-
vous headaches and "a broken-down
feeling, especially in the case of elderly
persons.
There is one case in particular l call
to mind, in which Paine's celery COM
pound asserted its good qualities. We
had young married lady friend, who
was nursing her 4-year-old child, and
found that she could not perform her
household duties on account of the
weak condition she seemed always to
be in. on the recommendation of my
wife and myself she took one bottle Of
the compound, and before two weeks
had passed was able to do her own
washing even, in addition to house,
work. About three bottles We're used
| have yet to hear from any friend to
whom / recommended it other than
the most favorable results"

swore that she was with Mrs. Robb on
the night of April "a. Mr.. Robb was

his wife at the latters request. Hol-
than was not in company with Mrs.
Robb at any time during that night.
Manager Brechtel. of the National ho-
tel, Honesdale, was put on the stand
and swore that Holtham was Il guest
at that hotel from noon on Tuesday
April 90. until Thursday morning. April
%. Holtham's name appears on the
register on the first line under date Of
April %. 1t appears again as the last
name under the date of April "a. The
commonwealth will argue that the reg
lister was doctored to assist in carry
ing out the alibi.
Why They vii! Say 1t Was Doctorcd.
If Holtham was a guest at the hotel
continuously it would not be necessary
for him to register twice. the COM
monwealth will argue. and the fact
that the name does appear twice is evil
dence that it was put there recently
to assist in establishing the theory set
forth by the defense. The common
wealth also claims to be able to show
that Holtham was in this city on April
"a. This morning the defense will rest
and then evidence i'm rebuttal on the
part of commonwealth will be heard.

Figures Compiled by Secretary Atherton,

In looking through the columns Of
"The Ohio Valley Manufacturer" pub

D. b. Atherton, of the board Of trade,
observed the following table of the cost

night and every night for the year:

counts them all. Mr.. Atherton's opin-
ion, and 1t is one that commands at
tention, IL that the relative profits of
these companies. has nothing whatever
to do with the disparity in the prices
Of electricity. BY the figures it will be
noticed that Buffalo and New York city
are next to Scranton in cheapness of
lights, and Mr.. Atherton bases that
condition on the cost of fuel at these
places. Both of them are, in fact, the
distributing coaling stations of the
country, and they have the advantage
of cost prices in the coal market.
Scranton's cheap electricity, he says,
is due to the low price of fuel, which
can be had at from 25 to 80 cents a ton.
He is enthusiastically ready TO pro-
claim that electricity can be manufac-
tured here cheaper than in amy other
part of the country outside of north
eastern Pennsylvania. Not electricity
alone, but also any other manufac-
tured product, and he points to the
new industries that have been attract
ed here by cheap fuel to prove out his
