A Constant Visitor.

Pain is a constant visitor of persons
troubled with chronic rheumatism. This
unwelcome guest will, however, take it's
departure, and not renew his visits If a
writ of ejectment is served upon it through
terS, the most efficient blood depurent
and anodyne to rheumatic twingeS known
to medical science. No testimony in it's
behalf is more positive and conclusive
than that which proves its efficacy in rheu-
matte complaints. 1t is also conspicuously
efticacious for malarial nervous, bilious,
dyspeptic and kidney disorders. 1t pro-
larly useful to invalids recovering from
exhausting maladies. Persons past the
prime of life, and those suffering from a
lack Of vital stamina, find it highly bene-
ficial. Give it persistent trial. No medi-
cine used spasmodically, and at irregular
times, can be expected to achieve lasting
results.

NOTE AND COMMENT.

r. C. White, who put the Durrant case
into the form of wretchedly con-
structed drama and inflicted it upon the
people through the agency of BILLY
Daley" threatens to dramatiZe the DR..
Brown scandal and punish the people
by having it played throughout the
State There are some things which
exhaust human patience. Now let
White take notice. He is about to place
the last straw, and the patient camel
is making up it's mind not to have its
back broken.
The delegates to the State Sunday
school convention which assemblies in
this city to-day are cordially welcome.
Sacramentans will do all that may well
be done to make their stay profitable
and pleasant. We are sure that in the
interim Of the sessions of the conven-
ton the delegates will find plenty to
interest them in and about the city.
They will find it worth while to get out
side of the business section and see what
Sacramento has to boast Of In the way
Of pretty homes, fine lawns, floral wealth
and public structures. The visitors will
not be so beset with officious attentions
business in the convention. Yet we are
equally certain that nothing will be left
undone that a host should do to con-
tribute to their comfort and the pleasure
of their visit. We know something of
the arrangements that have been made
in these directions, and are satisfied
that the credit of the community for
hospitality will be well maintained.

Professor Lombroso Has High Praise For

Professor Lombroso Has High Praise For
the Author of Degeneration"
In Degenerate" he has the great
merit of combating certain dominant
influences, pan ticularly that Of mysti-
cism, which, recrudescent in these lat
ter days, thanks to certain Grant ge-
muses., has led astray vast throng Of
talents. In this book, too, he is ever
the man of our century who has most
felt the pulse of his times, and he has
not only put his finger ON our most open
wound--on that egotism which is steril-
izing our moral sense and rendering us
cruel to one another but he also has
succeeded in finding its explanation in
the special tendencies Of the degenerate
whether it be the higher class degener-
ates who invents the strangest freaks to
catch the public eye-as weddings in
balloon or Cardinal Lavigerie s cru
sades-or the initiative degenerates who
deem themselves original in simply
copying.
Finally he has had the supreme merit
of applying psychiatric research to liter
AIRY criticism. He has carried this reform
10 its utmost applicability, seeking,
with that audacity, intrepid even to in
science, which he exhibited in his "Con-
ventional Lies" to demolish the repu-
tations most firmly established. And
thus he has been able to overthrow the
work of the French and German Sym
bolists and Decadents, who proclaim
science untrue because in 100 years of
toll she has not given them the key to
all the mysteries These pages Of his
are among the most splendid written in
this century, such as could be wrested
from an artist thinker by the sight of
four idlers, who insult the legion Of
tireless workers busy in searching and
researching nature. even into her Utmost
recesses And very just is his diagnosis
of them-that they have for their char
acteristics nebulosity of mental repre-
sentation, confused and motley idea
tion, too much eroticism, an abnormal
devotional fabric and an exaggerated
egotism which causes them to observe
things only in relation to their own
selves. So Nordau's Degeneration It's

Held ~ Less Account by the Law Than
Broken Legs.

Broken Legs.
In no instance does the profound diff
ference Of national character in England
and France appear more striking, says
our Paris correspondent, than in the
views held on both sides of the channel
regarding breach of promise. OF course
engagements are broken off in France
as we'll as in England, but ii is only in
England that heavier damages are
awarded for a broken heart than for a
broken leg The offense is al but I'M
known in the French law courts,
whether it is that Frenchmen are less
inclined to it or that the French girl
dislikes bringing her sentimental trou-
bles into court To show English read
ers how incredibly prejudiced French
persons of both sexes are upon this sub
ject it is enough TO say that a young
lady who attempted to turn her wound
ed feelings into cash would be regarded
as only a degree less mean than the
faithless man.
The very small number Of suits for
breach of promise have always been
supported by plea that the lady was
put to expense, and there must be be-
sides evidence of an intent to deceive.
Damages in any case are very small be-
side the royal amounts awarded by Eng
lish juries. Recently an action for
breach Of promise a l'Anglaise was
brought into the Third Paris police
court. The lady and her father, as near
est friend, produced bill showing that
they were $50 ont of pocket for the
broken engagement. They might have
had this; but, badly advised, they put
ON another item of $3.50 for the moral
prejudice. The French judge did not
understand this, and he dismissed the
case. London News.

A horse, an animal said to have once
been quite common in our city streets.
was seen in this city yesterday. He at
tracted much curiosity and he was fol-
lowed wherever he went by immense
crowds. Ii is almost impossible 70 be-
lieve that our ancestors could have trust
ed their lives to so formidable crea-
ture. 1t is understood that the animal
escaped from the Equine Food abattolr

An almost unprecedented event hap
pened in this city last evening, when
Mr.. and Mrs. John Brownsmith cele-
brated the anniversary of their mar
rage. The Brownsmiths We're married
year ago. 1t is quite remarkable for a
couple TO live so long together in the
state Of wedlOck, and their celebration
naturally drew TO their residence a
dense thr0ng of admiring friends. Con-
CALCULATIONS We're poured upon the hap
py pair, with wishes that they might
continue together long enough to OBJ

wedding.
The directors Of the Euripides Mann
featuring company have been convicted
of the charge of failure to examine into
the accounts of their treasurer, and have
severally been sentenced to imprison-
ment in the state prison for q term Of
five years. Their counsel argued that,
inasmuch as the treasurer's accounts,
as shown by expert examination, were
faultless during his ten years of service
and that no suspicion had ever fallen
upon him, the sentence should be light
er, but the court very justly remarked
that the offense was the same as if the
result had been severe loss to the stock
holders.
1t was curious to see pedestrian in
Washington street today, the first one
that has been seen in the city for many
years. He occasioned no small amount
Of vexatiom to the unicyclists. in whose
way he was getting continually. There
can be no objection to people walking
in their own houses or in the country,
where there is plenty Of room. but it is
clearly ont of the question that the prac-
tice should be permitted in our crowded
city streets.
The death of Solomon Strongmind,
which occurred this morning, calls to
mind the remarkable fact that during
his long residence of five years or more
in this city he has never mysteriously
disappeared for even once. Undoubted-
ly Mr.. Strongmind was somewhat &C.
centric in his habits generally, but in
this especial matter the controlling cause
must have been something far more po-
tent than mere oddity.
