WHY SHOULD We CARE!


Though the tree be not just for the bird to
nest in,
She sets the twigs and the nest Is there;
Though the world be not just for man to be
blest In,
He walks her green ways and breathes her
sweet air.
The rich days open and spill their splcndor;
Night shoes with silver the foot on her
Stair
Aye, life has all that glory can lend her,
So what it all MEANS pray why should we
care2
The green lands blossom and the blue skies
hover;
The warm winds blow, and the song birds
pair
Under leve's window comes, huting, the
lover,
And the loved one leans, with his rose in
her hair.
The suns plunge over the hill to the water;
The stars are sure; God gives and to spare
The man-child thrives, and beauty's fair
daughter,
So, what it's all for, pray, why should we
care?

"Gentlemen," said the street fakir,

BILE before him, 81 did not come here

as he held up one of the bottles in a
loving way between his eyes and the
sun, "that this medicine was discoy-

Sioux tribe of Indians, but why de-
ceive you ? 1t is a remedy entirely
unknown to the Indians. 1t is my
own discovery, and l never saw an
Indian in my life"
The crowd increased in numbers
and began to press closer.

pound would cure Bright's disease,
and in ten minutes every bottle would
be sold but could l sleep tonight

on my conscience? How could l ever
again look an honest man in the face
after telling such a falsehood. 1t

would even hasten the end of the vic
tim of that baleful complaint"
There were now hundred men in
front of the fakir and at least halt of
them had their hands in their pock-
cts in search of money.
81 could say that it was a pain-kill-

out more bottles from an old satchel,
"but an accusing voice would he

The number of men who now want

the fakir waved them aside and said

Associated Press Special Wire.
SACRAMENTO, Sept. 9.-Aladdin and
his lamp could not have conlured up a
more brilliant demonstration than was
seen in Sacramento tonight. California &
capital city was flood with light "a
light which rivaled the moon. The peo-
pie were celebrating the Introduction OF
q mighty electric power, generated at Fol-
som, twenty miles away. ana brought
here in sufficient quantity to turn all the
wheels of commerce and illuminate every
house. 1t was carnival night in every
sense of the word. Magnificent arches
spanned the main streets, and they bore
such legends as Progress, The New
Sacramento" and Welcome" Then
there was u huge electric horseshoe, CON-
poased of several hundreds of lamps,
spanning one of the principal streets.
The capitol building was a vision of light
and loneliness. Its graceful lines were
outlined with many hundreds Of electric
lamps and the great dome was in per-
feet blaze. All the trees in front of the
building were covered with incandescent
lamps in carnival colors-cherry red, ap-
pie green and poppy yellow. making them
iuok like ali enormous collection CO
Christmas trees. AT the main entrance
to the capitol was a large reviewing
stand, over which appeared in letters of
light the names of the pioneers in cleo
tricity-Franklin, Morse and Edison.
Many thousands of people were assem- blej
in front Of the capitol. The streets were
literally packed with people. There was
no room on sidewalks and it was with
the greatest difficulty that passageway
could be cleared to permit the parade to
pass.
The parade itself was one of the novel
ties in the history of the world. There
were about twenty-five floats, all bril-
liantly illuminated and all representative
Of progress. There was, among other
things,a great American flag formed with
electric lamps. Then there were fount-
aims throwing up sprays of water amidst
myriad of colored globes. There was a
national float carrying the Goddess of
Liberty and illuminated with scores of
bright-hued lamps.
The industrial part of the parade was
un Ter the direction of men from the rail-
road shops, who had fifteen floats, repre-
senting the various departments aid all
typical of the class of work they repre-
sented. The shops had 100 men in the
line. Grand Marshal A. J. Johnston and
his aids wore white uniforms with car
nlval colored capes.

THE SALVADOREAN REFUGEE
Florencio Bustamente a Brave
Man
True to Ezeta's Cause in the Face Of Death
His Arrest Said to Be q Vio-
latlon Of Law

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 9.-The
steamer City of Sydney, which arrived
from Panama tonight, brought full par
ticulars of the capture of Florencio Bustu-
mente. one of Antonio Ezeta's favorite
lieutenants. BY the Salvador authorities.
1t is supposed by the Spanish -Ameri-
cans who came up on the City of Sydney
that he has been torn to pieces by an in
furiated mob or publicly shot in the
streets of the city of San Salvador long
before this. The surrender of Bustamente
by the people OF Nicaragua came by way
of return for the friendly act of Sa lvador
in the Corinto affair. The arrest of
ship is said to be in direct violation OF
international lawS. and the turbulent
little Central American republic may be
called to account for Its high-handed
action by the United States. Captain
Johnston of the City of Sydney refused
to discuss the matter, saying that he
could not do so until he had first con-
Bustamente was found after much diff
Though he knew he was going to his
death when he left the steamer, he never
uttered reproach. He declared that he
should remain Ezeta's friend to the last.
The steamship company had no other
recourse than to turn over Bustamente,
for warrants charging him with crime
we're presented. and the government of
Salvador, which gives a subsidy TO the
Pacific Mail company, made formal de-
mand for his surrender.
Concerning the fact that consular
agent of the United Stats was on the
steamer when Bustamente was formally
seized, there is little to say. This con-
sular agent was Mr.. Cooper, who is at
La Libertad In the interest of the COM
pany. 1t is maintained that he was
aboard the steamer not in his consulate
capacity, but as representing the cable
company. He took no hand in the mat
ter in any way, and did not direct tn.

passengers supposed.
Bustamente was we'll known in San
Francisco, as he was under arrest here as
one OF the Salvadorean refugees.
