'Gone TO better place above" would not
be Inappropriate to write on the doors OF the
old Club, with a hand pointing il the direc-
ton of lis present quarters. There need be
no fear now Of his dignilird Institution be-
ing mis- AIKEN for a gin palace. and the bar
mm can rest in assured safety that blue
jackets Will never again shy bottles at his
head; this plcasurabIe diversion may be

Messrs. Bartram Bros. have made q fine
building Of the old fat roof formerly
Robiusoas store aud the Members of the
West End Club have now a Il ost desirable
place. 1t has a fine situation.
Not only has onea pretty fair view of the
town. bu lie view Of the roa i>ted from the
western gallery is fine. 1t will always be cool
and pleasant too wherever tie wind blows,
\ cluh, in the proper sense Of he term,
has always been a want felt iii this town,
and we sincerely hope it will not share the
fate Of It's predecessors but will always be
an Institution in the island.
Capt. Blaokwood has for a long time been
President of the Club, and through his
efforts the erection of the present building
is due. This building has also removed the
old eye sore in landing; what was once a mass
of ruins, ever reminding us Of The memorable
LIST Oct. 1873, is now a magnificent building
worthy Of bai"g a landmarks.

which can be done only under a pro-

Republican party is pledged to give.
Nebraska has always been a good cat

has suffered disastrous decline. Under
the Mckinley bill the protective tariff

OVER THE MAYORS VETO.
The Trustees Approve the Contract With
Cunningham.
President Leonard Denies the Mayor
Charge That He is Obstruct-
ing It.

On Thursday last Mayor Hubbard
returned to the Board OF Trustees with
out his approval the contract signed by
him and President of the Board Leon
ard and Contractor ]. A. Cunningham
for the construction Of a pumping plant
as an outlet to the main sewer to be
constructed on S street, the contract
having been agreed upon at Monday
evenings meeting Of the Board OF
Trustees.
In his communication to the board
Mayor Hubbard said he wished the
Board of Trustees and citizens of Sac
ramento to understand that the respon-
sibility and failure to provide the sewer
outlet before the winter storms begin
rested with the Board Of Trustees, anC
more particularly with President Of the
Board Leonard.
The message sent in by the Mayor
appeared in full in yesterdays issue OF
the 'Record-Union," and resulted in q
called meeting Of the board for last
evening, at which there were present
President Leonard, Trustees Davis
Mckay, Pennish, Devine, ToZer and
Kent
The Mayor in his message stated that
when the specifications were made by
the City Engineer calling for bids fol
the work, a clause was added to the
specifications providing that the Board
Of Trustees should superintend and ap-
point inspectors Of the work, and that
he had notified the President Of the
board that he would not sign con-
tract with such a provision included In
1t, and by his direction it was stricken
out Of the specifications.
He had directed the Corporation
Counsel to draw up a contract in ac-
cordance with the general laws, but the
President had requested him to draw
up one as he (the President) directed,
and had had it approved by the board
knowing that the Mayor would not sign
it. He claimed that in taking such ac-
ton the board was encroaching upon
his power.
President Leonard, after calling the
meeting to order, stated its object
which was, he said, to take action on the
communication was read by the Clerk
Pennish inquired whether the con-
tract in question was in the Clerk S
hands, and asked that 1t be read.
Devine said that there should be a
way to get around the clash between
the Mayor and the Board of Trustees
and he would be willing to make any
concession which would tend to get the
pumping plant completed before the
winter rains set in.
I President Leonard said the Mayor
claimed that the Board Of Trustees had
misconstrued the charter, but he be-
lieved that the board had the right to
direct all work done for the benefit OF
the city, provided it did not come under
the general law, and he claimed If II
was the duty Of the Mayor to look after
this contract, why was it not his duty
to look after the reconstruction Of the

with some arrangement or irregularity in
the action Of the organs distinctly feminine.
Neglect and wrong living will show them
selves first in the most delicate organs Of
the whole body. With such weakness and
sickness so prevalent, it is to be expected
that the bearing of children would be
fraught with dread and danger. 1t should
not be so, of course. Nature never meant
it to be so. The performance of the high
est function of which woman is capable
should not be accompanied by pain. If
perfectly natural living were the rule, it
would not be SO. AS lives are lived, some
thing else must be done. A remedy must
be found. For over thirty years, DR.. Pierce
has been chief consulting physician to the
Invalids' Hotel and Surgical Institute, of
Buffalo, N. Y. During that time he has
treated thousands of women. He has

the President that as there had been a
duly seconded motion before the board
for nearly an hour, the consideration of
another was entirely out of order.
So it happened that at length the
board got back to Devine's motion,
made so far back that only the Clerk
could recall it, which provided that the
contract already signed by the Presi-
dent Of the board should be approved
or or the Mayors veto, and after Kent
had expressed his opinion pretty strong
ly against the position taken by the
Mayor the motion was put and carried

A TOUT IN TROUBLE.
He Cashes a Pool Ticket IntruSted to
Him and Decamps.

Andy Derrick, alias Steam Beer" g
colored racetrack tout, is in the City
Prison charged with embezzlement
The story of his trouble is that he gave
woman in Oak Park O. tip on the
races and induced her to invest in a
ticket which won S35, and she gave him
the ticket to get it cashed.
The woman waited in vain for a re-
turn on the investment and an inves-
tigation she says revealed the fact that
Derrick had appropriated the money to
his own use.
She informed officers Logue and Hig-
gins, who soon hunted Derrick up and
arrested him.

There is every reason to believe that
the expression of the Semi-official press
of London reflects the views of the Eng
lish Cabinet, namely, that England
should not interfere with the Sultan in
his vocation Of cutting Armenian
throats, except the greater European
Powers will join with the British Gov
ernment in such interposition. For
England to attempt it alone, it is ar
gued, would result in Russia opposing
the movement and successfully block
ing it. That is to say, the English be-
lieve, and with good reason, that Rus
sia looks upon Turkey as a plum re-
served for Russian picking. But there
is no reason why England should not
take the initiative in bringing about
joint action by the Continental Powers.
The news comes. however, on the same
day that it is improbable that these
Powers would accede, even If invited.
In this condition Of affairs the English
Cabinet gives it to be understood that
England does not hold herself at all re-
sponsible for continuation of the out
RACES In Turkish territory. 1t is inti-
mated, however, that England would
gladly join with the United States and
Italy in a tripartite agreement to stop
the outrages. But the policy Of this
country is opposed to any entangling
alliances, and though the English Gov
ernment, says the Secretary Of State,
Mr.. Olney, has repeatedly signified it's
desire to close such an agreement with
the United States, our Government has
steadily refused, and has given the
English Premier to understand that we
will make no compacts Of that kind.
Certainly, that is in accord with our ira
ditional policy, and 1t is unlikely that we
will depart from it. America is in no
wise to be held responsible in the Ar
menian matter because we refuse to
act affirmatively. The Armenian out
RACES should be corrected by the States
Of Europe; there is no sort of reasoning
that can impose the obligation upon the
United States to take an initiative step
in the matter.

Of humanity to be unloosed

The law requires that the parity be-

laws and ignore their mandate.

III Bible Won.

The credit Of actually winning an
election is claimed for a party emblem
in the little town of Benton, KY, where
a local option election was held a few
days ago. The campaigners for license
adopted a jug as their emblem. The
prohibitionists later adopted a picture
of an open Bible, with the words Holy
Bible" in big letters across the top
Of the open page as the emblem of the
anti-license forces. The people of Ben
ton may be thirsty, but they are pious,
and it is related that when the open
Bible and the jug Of whisky were pic
torially placed before them, they
couldn't vote against the Bible, even
though they favored license. The
choice between the two touched them
in a vulnerable spot, and the election
went very dry.

HAS4Se3 II ~ ssY4A} RSfA4 FHAA Fl
Amerlca Il Of Modern Manufacture.
Beware IS alleged enrique furniture
shipped from this country for sale In
America. Such furniture, II genuine,
can generally command a ready sale in
the London markets, and travelling
Americans prefer to buy their own rel
les on the spoil. friend Of mine who
lives in the garden county Of Eng
land-Devonshire-tells me that ID the
midst Of green meadows in the3remote
part of the lovely county, there works
a firm Of cabinet-makers whose achiev-
ments in the art of taking" can hardly
be excelled even by the artists who
transform pot-boilers into works, of old
masters. These people contne their eff
forts entirely to manufacturing antique
furniture for the American market, and
this is the way, for instance, an ..olde
oaken cheste'' is fashioned. First of
all the chest is strongly built of deal
boards-practically a superior packing
case-the nails are sunk and the cav
tiles filled with some kindsof cement.
Then the chest is stained and the re-
markable resemblance to old oak is at
tanned. To secure the specific gravity
required a very shallow false bottom is
arranged, in which is placed a perfect
~ fitting sheet of lead. OF course, the
best part of the fake is in the carving.
One member of the firm is particularly
clever in this direction. His inspira-
tion is derived from an old family
Bible, the Illustrations in which are
surrounded by borders Of quaint and
curious design, with the grotesque
heads such as one sees in gargoyles.
The complete result is calculated to de-.
ceive any but an expert. 1t is said that
a lively market for the stuff was once
obtained in London, where it was sold
by auction, also that a smart American
upset the game. He suspected a chest
which was being offered, and surrepti-
tiously applied his penknife to such
purpose that he laid bare a patch of
white deal and broke up the sale. Now
the firm export their wares to the
United States on commission.
But chests are not the only article
offered for ale by these collectors of
antique furniture" They have even the
temerity to attach a historical interest
to some of their products. Thus a carv-
en- chair may be labeled as having be-
longed to Queen Elizabeth, or a cabi-
net deliberately wrought, but with rusty,
uncouth hinges, as having been owned
by Oliver Cromwell or Sir Walter
Raleigh. The rusty hinges, by the
way, are taken fom barn doors in the
neighborhood and tutored into con-
venient shape. A capital effect is
gained by loading up a pistol or a gun
with a heavy charge of sparrow shot
and firing it at the furniture from a
due distance. This represents the raw,
ages of the insidious worm.
