here, or independent financial interest
in one already established elsewhere,
and probably the latter is the better
idea for a while yet. But in the mean
time there must be some place pro-
vided for temporary detention of res
cued children That we commit them
to the atmosphere of the Jail and the
City Prison is a reproach that must
be removed. We commend such work
as we have referred to for still other
reasons, and a chief and predominant
one is that all such work is distinct
betterment to the individuals of COM
munity. A city where such philan-
thropic engagement concerns the whole
body Of the people deeply. betters its
citizens morally and sympathetically,
and we may add Intellectually. NO
community can sympathiZe with ana
aid such missionary effort and not be
improved by it's sensibility, breadth OF
spirit, charity of soul, and by a lifted
up and elevated manhood and woman
hood.

the Bogus Baron.

"Von Arnold is lucky" said Chief of
Police Drew yesterday. as he held up
q picture CT the former received Sunday
night from Chief of Detectives Jacob
H. Hanger Of Louisville, KY.
At 8 o'clock Sunday evening Chief
Drew received requisition papers on
Governor Budd from the Governor of
Kentucky for the return to that State
of Won Arnold on charge of black
mail.
AS the man wanted was already out
of California, the papers were worth
less, but accompanying them was a
record of Won Arnold's life, as given
the Louisville authorities by William
A. Pinkerton of Pinkerton's National
Detective Agency, which proves an in
teresting document. II has not before
been published among the many things
in print about Won Arnold. The let
terS reads:
Chicago, March 30, 1897.
Jacob H. Hanger, Chief of Detectives,
Louisville, Ky-Dear Sir: Following is
a record of Won Arnold, as requested
in your letter of yesterday:
He came to Chicago in 1883, and in
company with another man ran de-
tective agency, doing a divorce and
Matchmaking bushes He got into
trouble with the police several times
and was locked up on charges Of re-
ceiving moneys under false pretenses
from Mrs. Riley of 142S Wabash ave-
nue., and other persons.
He next started a detective agency
with one Colonel Tryon. but the whole
gang was shortly afterwards arrested
for attempted blackmail and swindle.
He managed to wriggle out of this
trouble, as he did out of others. He
was next heard of in Louisville, where
believe he arrested a man on some
trumped-up charge. In think he is UNI
der indictment in Louisville.
At various times in Chicago he has
been written up in the newspapers. to
wit: Chicago Herald" March II, 1883;
Chicago Evening News" July IA,
1888; Inter Ocean," July q, 1888;
Evening Mall August 81. 1888;

lenses, such as conspiracy, defamation
Of character. swindling young men de-
string to become detectives, defrauding
his landlady, and finally he was indict-
ed in the Maggie Clark conspiracy
case. He had been engaged in some
divorce work. in which he had vilely
traduced the character of the woman.
Maggie Clark, and got into a lot of
trouble over it, but it was such mixed

ABOUT NEW LAWS.
The Only Way People Can Learn
Their Provisions,

From the Sacramento Sunday News)
The press and public of California are
under an obligation TO the Record
Union" for its presentation Of What the
new laws are intended to accomplish"
1t is a curious fact that the Legislature
passes laws and imposes penalties for
their violation but provides no way by
(which the people may know that such
laws have been passed. At the same
time the law presumes that everybody
Knows the laws. If it had not been for
Ithe careful and effective work of the
/ Record Union" we do not see how the
public could know anything about the
glaws enacted by the late Legislature.
lf California We're anything but a dead
beat it would substantially acknowledge
Hthe good service OF the Record Union"
but State that keeps some OF its cred
dtors waiting twenty years for their
money cannot be expected to paw a
lnere debt of gratitude or honor on
Etime. In the meantime we would adj
wise every citizen TO keep a file of the
I" Record-Union" since the adjournment
OF the Legislature. 1t will do free of
|cost what the State ought to pay for
let the people know what the new laws
are.

by DR.. Pierce in his daily practice in the

The story by wire yesterday was
that the Turks had driven back over
the border the irregular Greek troops
or bushwhackers who crossed the Mac
edonian lire on Saturday. This is al
together likely to prove true. At best
the irregulars had a force of about
1000 men armed with but light effec-
tiveness. Such a body could not pos
sibly stand before the artillery and well
disciplined cavalry and infantry Of the
Porte, which is strong enough on that
border to throw back any wave of the
order that invaded Macedonia last
week. Say what we may of the Turk
ish Government, it puts it's soldiers into
the field in splendid condition, admir-
ably equipped, and in a high state Of
discipline. These troops will fight and
fight well. They have small fear of
death, and are all but irresistible in
their charges when moved by religious
zeal and fired with the ardor of war.
If war follows the invasion of hast
week, the Greeks Will find themselves
confronted by an army that will try
their mettle to the utmost.

entered upon its fifth volume and the
third year OF its life. It is a clean,
wholesome and courageous paper. For
one so young it has taken remarkably

live to celebrate its hundredth anniver-

1t is to be hoped that the Supervisors
at their session to-day will appoint the
delegates asked for to attend the pure
food congress to assemble in San Fran
cisco on the Both instant and not further
postpone action. There should be no de-
lay in the matter. The earlier the ap-
pointments are made the better, that
those chosen may have plenty of time
in which to arrange their affairs that
they may attend with the least possible
inconvenience. The Directory of the
Chamber of Commerce meets Thursday
evening, and should also name the dele
gates to the congress asked for from
that body. This convention for the Both
is one of exceeding interest and high i'm
portance, and should be attended from
Sacramento County by large and thor
oughly representative delegations.

The news from Cuba is of another
great Cuban victory. Probably the
next dispatches will announce a Span
ish victory. The exceeding impartial
ity with which these victories" are
distributed among the contestants
awakens admiration for the child-like
simplicity of the Spanish censor at
Havana. However, while there can
not be given much credit to Havana
dispatches that pass under the eyes of
the censor, they have this value, name
ly, they prove that there is a condition
of war in Cuba. Perhaps the Wash
ngton authorities and the commercial
cold bloOds at the East, may have this
fact some day beaten into their ca
pacity to understand. That accom-
plished they may conclude, as two
thirds of the American people long ago
did, that there is good reason for rec
ignition of the belligerency of these
warning armies, which is to say that
butcheries Shall cease in Cuba, and
war be conducted according to the code
Of advanced civilization
