OUR SACRAMENTO SERVICE.

The early delivery os THE CALL at Sacra-
mento by special train during the sessions
of the Democratic Convention has been
met by an approving response from the
public, which is the more gratifying mas
much as it shows an appreciation of the
enterprise of legitimate journalism. We
have not attempted to vie with the sensa-
tional papers of the day in the publication
of fakes or in any form of catchpenny
devices, but where the work of obtaining
news, publishing news and distributing
news has required something more than
usual energy The CALL, under its present
management has never failed and will
never fail 20 show truly Californian vim
and vigor.
There is in every community need OF a
wide-awake, alert, progressive newspaper
which is devoted to the domain of true
journalism, and within that domain Is
equal TO every demand of the time and the
public. That requirement of intelligent
men and women THE CALL fulfills in Cali
fornia. It's dispatches, whether from the
United Press or from its special CORE
spondents, are by this time we'll noted for
their accuracy. People know they can rely
are no fakes in its news columns any more
than in any other part of the paper. 1t
gives all the news fairly and impartially,
and what is more 1t sees to it that the
news is delivered to the reader as early as
he wishes it.
By means of its special trains THE CALL
reached Sacramento earlier than any
other paper. Its train on the first morn
ing of the convention broke the record for
speed between San Francisco and that city.
The papers were distributed in time for
even the earliest risers to read them be-
fore breakfast and for the delegates to
study the rtports of the whole situation
carefully before the work of the new day
began. This was the kind of enterprise
that gives a real news service to the pub
lie, and is therefore the kind the people
may count on from THE CALL. We not
only publish the news but we see that the
reader gets it on time.

Nine. Marie Engle, the Chicago prima donna,
has just made another great hit in London.
The opera was era Diavolo," and sung by
grand opera artists, made heavy by recitatives,
and accompanied by an orchestra of 100
pieces, it is said to have resembled little
water-color picture, seen through huge mag
nifying glass Auber's fascinating little work
lost its freshness and charm in the immense
auditorium OF Covent Garden. Ferdinand de
Lucia is an excellent singer, but he has not
the presence nor the style of voice for the role
of Fra Diavolo. The celebrated bass Bisham
Lord Rocburg) was not in sympathy with his
part, but Marie Engle sang the role OF Zerlina
in the most fascinating fashion. Her voice
was declared to be fresh, true, we'll placed,
and her vocalizstion irreproachable. All she
wanted was a little warm til of manner in her
acting; but even without it, she has come for

WHEN THE TIDE IS COMING IN.

Somehow, love, our boat sails lighter,
smoother, faster, on the bay
Somehow, love, the sun shines brighter
Softer, warmer, thro' the spray
Somehow, love, the sky is clearer,
God and man seem nearer kin
Somehow, even you are dearer
When the tide s coming In!
"'Tis the spring OF life, amending,
At the source of motion, Gear!
"'Tis the sire an of hope ascending
From the depths of ocean, dear!
"'Tis the heart of allure beating,
Where the throbs of life begin!'
"Earth and Heaven gladly meeting,
When the tide is coming IN!
Somehow, love, your eyes are brighter,
Softer, warmer, thro the spray,
And your laughter ripples lighter
Ger the whitecaps on the bay!
In our path no tinge of sadness,
In our wake no tinge of sin!
For our hearts are filed with gladness
When the tide is coming in!

1T is THE BEST.
Mount vernon 6wash.) Record.

The San Francisco DAILY CALL is without
doubt the best morning newspaper on the
Pacific Coast. Since falling into he hands of
Charles NJ. Shortridge THE CALL has steadily
come to the front as daily NEWS paper, and
to-day has by far the la rgest circulation of any
paper published on the coast.
There is nothing in THE CALL of sensa-
tlonal nature, but its news is brief and to the
point, and always up to date. 1t is the only
morning newspaper in Frisco that does not
use machines with which to set type, and as
result gives employment to a large number of
men, and for this reason ii should be sup
ported by the lsboring class of the Pacific
Coast.

dress seen was of black mohair, with collar and
belt of white mohair, trimmed with a single
row OF black braid. Either the skirt or the
bloomers may De sewn to the waist but those
who have tried 1t give preference to joining of
skirt and waist, as it gives a neater appearance,
and the skirt can thus not slip or sag at the
waist.
In this case the skirt is buttoned over the
front about three inches to the left of the CEN
ter, or just at the end of the waist. where it
laps.
The trousers are hemmed at the lower edge,
and an elastic is run through the hem. The
top is hemmed and supplied with. draw
string; or they may be put on band opening
at one side, and this by the knowing ones is
like the waist preferred, as it prevents sagging
at the waist line when the garment is heavy
with water.
