ing runs in a circle it may be answered
that it is precisely of the character of
that employed by the woman suffragists
who demand in one breath the extension
of the ballot privilege in the name OF all
women, and in, the next explain that
the mass of women do not unite in the
demand because they are Indifferent to
their rights and not alive to the privil-
eyes that should be accorded to them to
enlarge the field of happiness.
The scope of woman's liberty we
would not in any wise limit, but on the
contrary, we would enlarge it wherever
it is at all confined and cribbed, for
freedom is her heritage equally with
man. But her highest good, the high
est good of both sexes concern the de-
finition of liberty as related to the suf-
frage movement. Because it is not es-
sential to good government that woman
should forsake in any respect the high
offices to which she is commissioned;
and because it is not essential to the
good of either men or women as social
beings; and because it would, in our
opinion, be positive i'll to both sexes and
more especially to that of woman, the
Record Union" deems it inexpedient,
unwise and dangerous to project her
into the political forum, and thus make
her interests distinct from and opposed
to those Of men where now they are
common.
The man is by nature and all fitness
the fighter and provider; woman's in
herited disability fits her for many CO.
ordinate duties, and for others that are
distinct, but all which joined with those
of man make social completeness which
the political equipment of woman with
the ballot would unsettle and disturb.
Believing this sincerely, believing
that experience and reason fortify the
position taken, the '.Record-Union" de-
clines to aid the women suffragists in
their campaign for the adoption of the
eleventh amendment. But it will op-
pose them in their gallant struggle by
no sophistries, no sneers, slurs or un-
fairness; nor will it impugn their mo-
tives, or ascribe to them purposes not
inspired by honest conviction. Upon
this open, unfenced and fair battlefield,
1t takes its position.

SAVES A VALLEJO BoYs LIFE.
Difficult Surgical Operation Prevents O
Youth From Choking to
Death.

VALLEJO, CAL, Dec. 19. DIR. Lewis
Carpenter, proprietor of the Emergency
Hospital, recently opened in this city, has
successfully performed the very difficult
surgical operation of tracheotomy on the
I4-year-old son of Milo Farmer. The boy
had been treated for membranous Group,
which had developed to such an alarming &
state that his attending physician pro-
nounced the case hopeless.
DR.. Carpenter was called, and, taxing
with him a trained nurse-Miss E. NJ.
Walker, graduate from the City and
County Hospital of San Francisco-they
hastened to the BEDSIDE of the apparently
dying boy, who was being rapidly choked
TO death by a false membrane in the
larynx. The boy was suffering untold
misery and writhing in agony. There
was no tine to be lost, and as soon as the
patient had been placed in proper position
the operation of tracheotomy was COM
menced. This operation consisted of cut
ting into the larynx and inserting tube
to relieve the suffoeation.
An incision about two inches long was
made in the skin, the knife then cutting
through three rings of the trachea. As
soon as the opening was made the violent
exertions of the boy N breathing forced
pieces of the mem brane out of the aper-
ture. The boy began to revive and breathe
more freely. Then a tube was inserted
through the opening in the throat.
There are now strong hopes that the life
of the boy has been saved, as indications
point to the fact that the false membrane
has been entirely thrown off.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, Dec. 19.-Much
wonderment has been created of late
among the people of Redwood City and
vicinity by the unusual and extraordinary
sight of large pack of full -blooded fox.
hounds, accompanied by two horsemen,
passing 10 and fro through this CITY and
neigh borhood. Inquiries as to whence
they came and whittier they went de-
veloped that the pack, composed of some
fifty or more HOUNDS, belongs to Walter ).
Hobart OF San Mateo, the young million
aire horse-owner. who imported them
direct from England. The two men ac-
companying them in their ram plings are
trainers who are putting them into con-
dition to chase the willy fox.
In securing this pack, Mr.. Hobart, who
is true sportsman, has taken another
means OF gratifying whim and securing
pleasure for himself and his friends. To
have everything in keeping, he has also
imported two carloads of foxes from
England, so that in a short time the
denizens in and about San Mateo will
imagine, by the blast of horns, the baying
of hounds and the scurrying to and fro of
men and women, mounted on 1eet-footed
steeds, that they are indeed back in old
England. Mr.. Hobart never does any
thing by halves so long as money will
secure his ends. He is perfectly equipped
for enjoying the sport of fox hunting to its
full extent, being the owner of some of the
best hurdle-iumping horses in the county,
just the thing for a cross-country run
where the fences are gateIess.
1t is safe to say that as soon as the
hounds get in condition, the hills on the
Hobart estate, back OF San Mateo, will
witness many fox run to earth, whose
brush will afterward adorn the apart
ment of the one fortunate enough to be
in at the death.
How the San Mateo farmers will regard
the innovation is mooted question. The
foxes that escape the hounds are quite
likely to make it interesting for the
grangers fowls.

arrest Shepher !, whowas supposed to be
with his brother near Lodi. AS the pro-
visions of section 1549 of the Penal Code
are vorv explicit and recite that the ma
ture of the crime, where it was commit
ted and description of the man must be
given, Sheriff Cunningham, on the ad-
vice of District Attorney Nutier, tele-
graphed for the required information.
This was received this forenoon and the
proper warrant issued. Deputy Sheriffs
Black and Wall were entrusted with the
task of arresting Shepherd. On their way
to Lodi they met Constable Coleman of
that place and Justice of the Peace Wal
lace. who informed them that Shepherd
had driven them away at the point of a
pistol anG then committed suicide.
1t seems that the Illinois ST eriff had
notified Coleman by telegraph TO arrest
Shepherd, and the Constable, disregard
ing the fofmalities of law, had started to
do as requested. Hefound the man wanted
for embezzlement working in the fields of
his brother, Alexander She pherd, six
miles from Lodi. When told that he was
wanted, Shepherd denied that he was the
embezzier, but offered to go with the Off
GERS. He said that he desired to put on
another suit of clothes before going to
Lodi, and Coleman, knowing that Alex
ander Shepherd bore an excellent repu-
tation, permitted the brother to go into
the house to change his clothes and shave
himself. Shepherd returned presently
with q 38-caliber pistol and leveling it at
the Constable and Justice of the Peace, he
compelled them to get into the buggy and
drive away. He tnen returned into the
house and took dose of strycnnine,
which he evidently carried with him in
anticipation of being arrested.
When the Deputy Sheriffs arrived on
the scene about 3 o'clock Shepherds s
body was still warm, but life was extinct.
The body was brought to the Stockton
Morgue tonight.

LeJis!0tttrP.
, MODESTO, CAL. Dec.19 A meeting
to discuss the irrigation difficulties was
held here to-day. The meeting was an
nounced as an anti-irrigation gathering
for the purpose of adopting resolutions
outlining proposed legislation, but many
fayoring irrigation were in attendance at
the opera house, apparently as specta-
tors.
AT. Underwood was chosen as chair
man and Robert Miller secretary. After
some speech making principally by the
ATTORNEYS for the anti-irrigators, resolu-
tions were presented asking the coming
Legislature to allow the. Turlock and
Modesto districts TO surrender all COM
pleted works owned by the districts to a
CORPORATION, company or individuals upon
the return to the people OF all bonds sold
by the districts. This virtually means a
surrender of what has been accomplished
since the formation of the districts in 1887.
This called forth hot discussion between
The ''antis" and the friends of the irriga-
ton law. The resolution was adopted.
Another reso ution was presented and
adopted asking the Legislature to refund
the bonds, maxim. them forty or nifty
year instead of twenty year bonds.

PORTLAND, Or, Dec. 10. Philip j.
Young, an elderly and wealthy philan-
thropist of Albina, a suburb of this city,
is :he disconsolate victim of a handsome
but faithless wife and a treacherous
nephew, CLAUDE Barker by name.
Barker, who is % years old, came to
Portland from Hancock County by invita-
ton OF his uncle three months ago, and
Mr.. Young intended to start him in
business. On Sunday last, Claude, his
aunt, and the latter's child, went to As
toria on a visit, Mrs. Young taking a
large sum OF money with her. They
never came back.
This morning Mr.. Young received a let
ter from his wife that nearly broke his
l.eart. 1t was written from San Francisco,
and stated that she, Claude and her little
child were there. Instead of returning
from Astoria t. ey had taken passage on a
steamer and gone to California.
Mrs. Young made complete confession
of the love she and Claude bore to each
other, and said they had concluded that
il vas impossible for them to live apart.
She begged for forgiveness and asked her
husband not to attempt to separate them
for it would be of no avail. They had
had sufficient funds to keep them for a
few weeks, and by that time Claude
hoped to obtain employment of some
kind. She also intimated that their stay
in San Francisco would be of short dura-
ton but said nothing OF their intentions
as to the future.
The duped old gentleman left for San
Francisco tonight, and will spend any
sum of money to locate the couple. He
is resolved to send Claude 10 the peni-
tentiary if he can succeed in doing so.

A PRAYER.

Father of all grace and patience, who hast
known our hearts from the beginning, keep
them to the end that we fail not through
lack Of endurance in the quiet hours Of life.
When action ceases and we can only wait,
when decision gives place to doubt, when
weakness or ignorance leave room only for
submission, waen we have spoken our last
word, made our final effort, and in our own
strength can do no more. then, for the sake
Of Jesus who was tempted with our
temptations and straitened in lingering
days until his work might. be accom-
plished. come thou to our aid Assure
US of thy presence when we sit in Loneliness,
:hat our vexed hearts may find their rest in
thee. Speak the words in our perplexltty
which OF old upon the lips Of Christ brought
calm to the troubled sea. Turn even our
impatience to profit in the deepening OF a
purpose that is not dependent upon immedi-
ate attainment, and faith that lays hold
upon the eternal purposes Of God. And
when, by thine assistance, We have been en-
abled to keep the word Of thy patience, suf-
fer us not to fall away in the hour OF death,
Or the sake Of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
