The Way It Don't Work.

Speaking Of the effort of the
School Board to get heating appa
ratus for the new building that will
ventilate it gentleman said the 9th
er day:
''They will never get heating APP
paratus that will do that thing.
That is, they will wait for some in
yention that does not now exist, if
they do
"a heating apparatus that will of
itself properly ventilate public
building, is a nice theory, and the
agents for such can demonstrate it's
practicability to a certainty, but it
don't work IN practice
ut has been tried several times
in this town 1t has been tried at
the University, at the courthouse,
at the Presbyterian church, and ev
erybody acquainted with those
buildings knows hat it is com
plete failure The thing works but
the air in th@ rooms is sitting all
the same. Nobody would want school
children to breathe such an atmos-
phere all day and every day.
There is just one certain way"
said he, 'to veAtilate room, and
that is to have holes enough in it, TO
admit the free ingress and egress of
fresh air in sufficient quantities to
supply it when fully occupied. #
these holes are so placed, near the
ceiling and floors, as to avoid drafts
directly on the occupants, it is the
easy, natural and effective way to
keep the the air Of room fresh,-
and the only way yet devised, that
is a success"

"Take the Beam out Of Your Own Eye.'

To the Editor of the Nav DOMINION:
A little alleged daily paper OF De-
cember Goth contained an article be-
littling the editors of The Athenaeum
for a certain column Of quotations
called ''Splinters' on certain members
Of the faculty and Others, in its edi-
tion of December 10th. 1t was writ
ten by two small-bore bigots upon
whom nature puts heads, solely for
the sake Of conformity, under the
pseudonym Of ssStill Bill, who seem
to think that it Is their business TO at
tend to other peoples troubles and
make the public believe that they are
the only pebbles on the editorial
beach. These two yahoos whose ''au-
ricular appendages'' do not belong to
the genus homo were too c0wardly to
sign their names to the aforemen-
toned article which alone indicates
the smallness OF their characters and
that they belong to that species OF
megalophanous animals that BalaaA
was so fond of riding is self evident.
They also say that ''They suffer from
imitation above their eyes which by
their action and words indicate the
cube root OF vacuum" They say
that the quotations were beneath
the dignity of the paper" that 1.-THE
Athenaeum is trying to raise dis
cord" that 'tthe editors went beyond
the bounds of gentlemen. We don't
doubt any of the above remarks in the
least, If we all think as they athink, y
but when these two Corinthians OF a
corn-fed aristocracy attempt to
point out and chastse the editors of
the college paper, they must remem-
Der Gf they have the capacity that
st. Paul once directed an epistle to
the Corinthians endeayoring to save
their souls, but now the apostle will
have to direct "Epistle No. 2 TO these
/ 10th Century Corinthians.
And again these self same skye-ter-
riers swell up like unclean toads and
conceive themselves to be 'ssclect So
ciety" AS ..sUIll BILL" or still
Bills, = as it should be, for one of them
has not brains enough to whitewash
coal, says: LET US not take advan-
tage of our position to redeem per-
sonal unpopularity," we therefore
trust the public has more gray matter
than these two blatherskites, who
have fallen to earth to better the con-
dition of the morals of society. Bah!
There are few things decent people
refrain from writing, but 1t seems
that these two leaders Of ''snobocra-
cy'' cannot claim that class as their
domicilii.
In conclusion we editors wish to
state that we do not profess to be
writers of any ability, but we do thank
our progenitors that we are not like
those intellectual eunuchs, who could
not father an idea il cast bodily into
the womb of the goddess of wisdom.
Pro bono publico,

SACRAMENTO, March 13.-The Bee
today publishes the conclusion to its Sc

week ago the Bee printed story to the
effect that Carl Won Arnold, wealthy
Chicago saloonkeeper, had settled in Sac

big gambling den and concert hall. He
was also to start a new daily paper.
The Bee declared that it had evidence
that Won Arnold was to put up $500 to
establish the paper. and that he had
made contracts with certain members
of the board of trustees whereby he was
to conduct his gambling house without
interference from the authorities. Al
sorts Of denials were made by the i'm
plicated people, but the Bee insisted
that the evidence in it's possession WAS
beyond dispute. Today the Bee an
nounced that Won Arnold was San
Francisco detective In the employ of the
Bee, and that he had been employed to
expose suspected dishonesty among city
officials. Won Arnold appeared before
the grand jury today and told the result
