did not have any ser GUS illness, but seemed
to gradually waste away. Having never had
any consumption in our families, as we come
of good old Iris IN and Scotch descent, We id
not think it was that disease. Neither did
she have hacki 6 cough, yet she grew
thinner and paler each day. Our doctor en- led
the disease by an odd name, which, as after.
ward learned, meant lack OF blood.

The second Baden suspect, who was ar

THINKS THEY ARE WRONG.
A Citizen Who Believes the Church
should Court the HOtbeds
of Sin.

Mayor Phelan received an anonymous
letter, signed "a Common Citizen" yes
terday, in which a novel proposition in
relation to the deniza OF Quincy and St.
Marys streets was advanced.
The writer said he thought the position
taken by he Pauiist Fathers to be wrong.
Instead of trying TO have tn dens of i'm
morality removed from the vicinity of the
churches, ihev should be more anxious to
keep the churches near the dens, for the
effect il would have on the unfortunates.
He animated that missionary work
should be the aim of the fathers, and hat
they could find plenty of chance for that
right at their doors raiher than at a dis
tance. In conclusion the writer stated
that if the dens were removed to distant
point he stood ready TO head a subscrip-
ton to build a church III their midst with
$3.50.

As was anticipated, the City Hall Park

do more than it was originally intended
it should do.
When the Grand Jury took up the mat
ter of recovering possession of the City
Hall lots and converting them into park
that would make the City Hall an orna-

the scope OF their work should extend
any further. The mem bers were sup
posed to work for that object and that

men who no sooner took hold of the mat

miles from this city.
The creek is a large stream that has its
source near Mount Lassen and flows west
erly into the Sacramento River. 1t de-
rives its name from the act that for hun
dreds OF years the Indians fought their
battles on its banks while contesting for
its wealth OF salmon. Just before 1t EN- 2

the presence of these fish in TINS lagoon,
where they were netted by the ton for the
market, that led TO the establishment of
the hatchery there.

tanned, the second 26.000,0 ,000 Then on

latter in speaking of the importance of
keeping up the supply o. salmon said:
