THE UNION-sQUARE MARKET.
1t Is One of the Best Appointed
Places of the Kind on the
Coast.

There is practically no change in the market,
and there is not liable to be any until alter the
election. ALI manner of sound reasons can be
and are advanced by real estate men to induce
people to buy, but their arguments bear but
little fruit, as the records testify. The follow
ing paragraph, taken from Wooster & Whit
toms (San JOSEF real estate circular. states in
concise form the many reasons why the pres
ent market offers the greatest assurance of
good returns on all purchases and investments
made now:
THE TIME TO BUY.
"Often we have heard and read the familiar
phrase, Now is the time to buy Perhaps
the molding of these words came from the
monumental mind of the professional fakir,
but, nevertheless, there is meat in the phrase
now. The source OF all wealth is the soil, and
the great fortunes made by citizens of all
countries have come as rule, from judicious
investments in real estate. The human family

Mayor Davie has made discovery. He
has found out that men who are honest in
business, honest in their private life and
good citizens who would scorn to do anv
meanness, can be ruined by politics. He
has received proof, he says. that men will
do anything to further their political am
bition. Of course at this time his Honor's
remarks apply to the City Council and the
Board of Health. The former BODY is
fighting the Mayor over the tax levy, and
the latter is most interested in the tuber-
culin test ordinance. Regarding the milk
legislation the Mayors argument is un-
doubtedly fair. He mas stated that the
question OF testing milk and of inoculat-
ing cows is not a matter for local legisla-
ton. 1t is of as much Importance in one
part of the State as another, and is a mat
ter with which the Legislature should
deal. 1t being very serious matter to
destroy herd of COWS and probably ruin
a mans business, the Mayor believes that
such work should not be the result of a
few experiments OF local veterinary doc
tor. "In less than three months said
Mayor Davie to-day, ''the Legislature will
meet and this matter will be thoroughly
handled. 1t is not subject for .ew doc
tors and horse-doctor to deal with.
There will probably be a bill passed
authorizing the appointment of a COM
mission of scientific men to examine into
the tuberculin test. We have gone all
these years without any apparent evil,
and it cannot make much difference If we
wait and deal with the matter inteIli-
gently. douot very much whether a
municipal ordinance can be made with
such power. Heavy damage suits would
certainly be brought against the city Of
Oakland, and no other city can afford to
run any such risks. These men who are
trying to railroad this ordinance through

results of the labors of the ladies to make

address, which was in felicitous vein,
and kept his hearers in laughter through

rendered pretty song. The remainder
of the evening was devoted to inspecting

Some ladies of this city are trying to
discover why the character of female
witness in the courts should be so fire.
ouently assailed for no other purpose than
to helm second class lawyer bolster up
weak case.
One OF the women in the very front rank
of active workers in Oakland expressed
herself very forcibly on this question yes
terday. 81 have noticed" she said, "that
no matter for what purpose a woman may
be witness, there is among a certain
class of lawyers, a certain cruel and unpro-
fessional delight apparently taken, in hu-
initiating such witness before crowded
and depraved lobby, such as invariably
hang around courtrooms. l have seen
the Wost irreproachable of women. some
of them wives and mothers, insulted in
such a subtle manner that the Judge
could hardly interfere without an appear
ance Of prejudice.
"a lovely little woman was in court a
few days ago. She had the misfortune to
be the wife OF an unprincipled fellow who
was doing his best to avoid the RESPONSE
bility OF keeping his children. After a
whisper with the father the attorney
asked: Are all these children your hus-
band's? The witness did not at once
grasp the question, and then followed 9TH
ers such as DO you know Mr.. -
Did you ever go out with him p and SIM
liar cruel insinuations, and when the little
mother left the stand she was so humiIi-
ated that she went into the wltness-room
and cried herself hVstaricaI The mis-
chief had been done, and the lobby and
the jury had been given cruel and false
impression. This is only one case, but
dozens of others have come under my i'm
mediate notice.
The ladies who are trying to infuse
manhood into unprincipIed attorneys
have undertaken q hard task. In OAK
land, as in all other cities, the Police
Court practitioner does not legally re-
quire a diploma, and as q rule he only
knows enough about the rule of evidence
to keep himself out of contempt of court
although he does not know enough of
decency to keep himself out of the con-
tempt of the public. Since Harry Melvin
was appointed Public Prosecutor this
class of attorney has often been made
to feel sorry that he spoke, but unfortu-
nately Mr.. Melvin's services are some
times required outside of the Police Court,
and his absence is generally taken ad-
vantage of. Judge Wood is in no way
lacking in gallantry, but he is a Judge
and his hands are somewhat tied. Until
men will be decent because it is right,
women witnesses will continue to be
legally insulted.

The Alameda man who has invented q
machine that will show who is at the
other end of telephone must expect to
meet with great opposition. When his in
vention shall have become common it
will rob the telephone of all its romance
and will reduce it to the level of an ordi-
nary element of commerce and society.
The latitude at present enjoyed because
there may be mistake as to who is It the
other end, will be thing of the past. The
frequently practiced deception of imitat-
ing another PERSONS voice and thereby
preventing a possible npleasantness,
must cease. The chagrin of finding that
you are talking to another lady when you
thought you were addressing your wife,
will no longer be felt. Ali these and
many other contretemps will be avoided,
and indirectly the new machine may
prove TO be a moral force.
1t remains to be seen just what the effect
Of the invention will be, but City Clerk
Lamborn has divulged some, and it is the
privilege of the public to guess the rest.
They are busily doing so and there are
not a few who predict that the present
frivolous generation will have passed away
before sight can be made to travel as fast
as sound over the phone.

Died-On Tuesday, Dec. 81, at the
residence of her son-in-law, C. a. Bish-
op, III South Main street, Mrs. Julina
Bidwell, aged 90 years and months.
The funeral services were conducted
by the Rev. Don S. Colt, who spoke
words of comfort from the fourteenth
chapter of John, first and second verses
For more than three years the deceaS-
ed has been a constant sufferer, but
had borne her pains with a fOrtitude
attained only by those whose hope is
conferred in that higher power from
Wherce all strength comes. Though
her ills frequently amounted to abso-
lutte torture, not murmur escaped her
lips. The nearest approach was but a
short time before she died. When
racked with pain she said: I'm so tired;
oh, if l could only sleep" As if in ans
wer to her prayer the messenger came
and as the pain left her she turned
upon her side and peacefully closed her
eyes in that last long sleep.
She leaves a husband, son and two
daughters to mourn her loss.
Goodbye, Mother, thou art sleeping,
Resting tired hands and feet,
For the journey through the city
Where the ransomed spirits meet
We VIII miss her when the blossoms
Of the summer come and go;
Or when on thy grave is falling,
Chill and white, the winter snow.
But secure with Christ, the Shepherd,
Thou wilt feel no blight or cold;
No more tempteSt-toSSed and tired,
There in Heavens upper-fold.

Mr.. H. J. Reimers, one of the pioneers
of Wichita, has been intrusted with the
circulation and sale of DR.. Francis +.
Clark's great work Our Trip Around

reading books of travel but in doing so
st always pays them best to read those
which are not only authentic but which
also are complete. One sees a, great
many works purporting to be descrip-
fions of trips around the world, but they
are generally hastily written and do
not cover half or a quarter of the world
1T is different IN the case of the book
written by Frances f. Clark. He not
only covered the globe, be he had the
very best opportunities and facilities
10 study the country and the traits,
characteristics and mode Of living or
its people. Mr.. Clark was in no sense
"a. globe trotter. His exalted connec-
ton with that vast and wonderful or
ganization known as the Young Peoples
Society of Christian BndeavOr made it
necessary for him to go into all coun-
tries TO visit the missionaries of the or
ganiZation He not only received his
information from these missionaries
who come closely in contact with the
peopIe and their mode of living, but in
a great many instances he became
closely connected with them himself.
He went into houses or natives IN all
sections of the globe and studied them
with his own eyes. The work OF such
q man is worth ten times the amount
of what it cost and the book should be
in every home and read by young and
old alike. \ knowledge of the world

All that remains mortal of ex-Mayor
George w. Clement will be laid 10 rest
today out on the brow Of the hill that
overlooks the city that he loved and
that contain not a few monuments 10
his spirit of enterprise.
1t is expected that his funeral VIII be
one of the largest ever held in Wichita,
as everybody expresses a desire TO par
ticipate in the last act Of esteem and
honor people can pay to their dead.
Yesterday the city council met in
special session and after passing suit
able resolutions, which are printed in
another pant of this paper. passed a mo-
tion declaring that all city officers, the
fire and police departments should at
tend the funeral in a body.
Mayor Cox also requests that all ex-
city officers join with the present Of
f1cerS at the city building, and all at
tend in a body.
The family of the deceased are in re-
ceipt OF great many messages OF con-
dolence which evidence the esteem in
which the ex-rnayor was held in abroad
The knights Templars, as we'll as the
lower branches of Freemasonry in
Wichita will also attend in a body, and,
doubtless, will make an imposing APP
pearance. The Knights Templars be-
| ing the higher of the various branches
and degrees Of Freemasonry will have
charge of the funeral, and viii hold sol
EN- services as the Park Place home OF
the deceased before the remains are
taken to the First Methodist church,
where the religious funeral services will
be conducted by MIR. Colt, assisted by
Mr.. Beach of the St. Paul NJ. Z. church
Mr.. E. Z. Bleckley Will officiate at the
Masonic ceremonies and ii is likely that
General W. S. Corbett will be marshal
of the funeral procession.
The death of Mayor Clement has had
a Saddening effect on the community
during the past two days. A great
deal of quiet sorrow was felt IN all
Quauters. and especially by those who
have worked with Mr.. Clement in his
various efforts in behalf of Wiuhfta-in
the board Of trade and in the city coun-
Gil, and in the various departments of
the city. When Mr.. Clement was mayor
he gave a great many people, especially
poor, needy and worthy people employ
ment, and none speak their sorrow more
sincerely than they do.
