To the Editor:
In an old number of the Ohio Demo-
Gratis, dated Sept. 81, 1876, l find the
following extract from the Democratic
State platform:
Resolved, that public policy and a
sense of common justice requires that
the silver coin issued by the govern
ment should be a legal tender in pay
ment of all debts, public and private,
and that we demand the so.called silver
act, so far as the same limits the amount
for which silver shall be legal tender"

But will it come oh the gravel train or

ORIGINAL BLOOMER GIRL.
She Rode the Original Safety Bicycle Thir-

The bloomer girl Is not so new as many
people imagine. AS early as 1869 young
woman made sensation by riding about
the streets of Chicago on a crude safety

she was looked upon as good deal ad-

1t was not until two or three years ago
that the bloomer girl became familiar to
us.
This original bloomer girl was Miss
Jennie Durkee, and the machine on which
she rode was the original safety bicycle,
an invention of her father, George b. Dur
kee, an inventor who has applied his me-
chanical genius to the making of many
queer devices and who is still busy. He
made n safety bicycle as early as 1868. At
that time the high wheeled ordinary was
an unusual sight and was slowly gaining
public favor. 1t was regarded as a danger

THE SANITARY CORPS.
The Attorney-Gener Opinion as
to It's Present Standing.

Acknowledgement Barrett recently
addressed a communication to Attor-
ney-General Fitzgerald, requesting an
opinion as TO the proper construction of
the section relating to the sanitary
corps of the National Guard.
The opinion is of considerable i'm
Portance to the National Guard, and is
in part as follows:
BY an Act approved April l, 1897,
which went into effect Immediately,
certain sections of the Political Code,
including section 1881, were amended,
and certain new sections, including sec
ton 2O09, were added to the Code. The
only amendment made in section 1881
was changing the number of men who
might be mustered in and attached to
a brigade as a hospital and ambulance
corps By the provisions of the new
section, 2009, however, the entire Med
ical Department of the National Guard
was organized into a sanitary corps,
which was intended to and did super
sede the Hospital and Ambulance Corps
referred to in the prior section.
There is, therefore, an irreconcilable
conflict between the provisions of the
section, and as section 2009 is a new
section and occupies later place in the
Act in question than section 1881, and
is evidently the latest expression of the
will of the Legislature, / am of the
opinion that the two sections cannot
stand together, and that the provis
ions of section 2009 must prevail.
Il have made a careful examination
of the Act of 1897, and am convinced
that it was the intention of the Legis-
lature to organize the Medical Depart
ment of the National Guard into a sep
arate and Independent body, unattach
ed, except by special assignment of the
Commander-in-C Chief to any of the SUBJ
divisions of the National Guard.
'I am of the opinion that the bril-
gade surgeon, referred to in section
2O07 of the Political Code, can be as
signed by the Commander-in-C Chief to
duty other than that on the particular
brigade staff to which he was ap-
pointed.
Il am of the further opinion that it
will be. necessary to reappoint and re-
commission the corps of surgeons Of the
National Guard under the provisions Of
section 2009 Of the Political Code. Those
who were appointed prior to the en-
actment of this section We're appointed
as regimenta1 surgeons. Under the law
as it now stands they will have to be
commissioned as surgeons of the Ma
tional Guard, and assigned to duty by
the Governor

ENGINEER NURSE RETURNS.
He VIII Now Complete Surveys
and Estimates of the Breaks.

NJ. A. Nurse, Chief Engineer of the
Public Works Department, returned
from Stockton yesterday. For the past
two weeks he has been busy making a
survey of the San Joaquin River in
the vicinity of Twelve-Mile Slough,
with view to rectifying the channel
of the stream.
He reports the San Joaquin to be in
fairly good condition, and states that
no improvements will be made except
corrections of the channel.
Engineer Nurse will have a number
of reports ready for the Auditing Board
to the Commissioner of Public Works
at its next regular meeting, among
which will be an estimate for dredg-
ing the Newtown Shoal, and also for
the construction of jetties at that point.
Tuesday of next week Engineers
Nurse and Randall will finish the sur
veys began some time ago in the vi
cinity of Elk Horn ranch, up the river,
and an estimated cost of easements it
is proposed to construct at the Hershey
and Butcher breaks will also be ready
for the next meeting of the board.

THE FLAMES QUENCHED.
Piles of Scorched Hay Remain to
Tell the Story of the Fire.

The fire that destroyed the pickle fac
tory Of Bergman Brothers and the sta
BILE of F. S. Smith yesterday morning
smoldered nearly all day in the burn
ing hay and kept several of the firemen
busily engaged in pouring on water and
rolling the half-burned bales out into
the street and down upon the lower
floor of the stable. By the time night
came the fire was all extinguished and
the loft cleared of hay.
AS was rumored at the time of the
fire, Mr.. Smith carried no insurance,
and the estimate of his losses in yester-
day mornings issue is verified. He
will lose about $4,000, and Bergman
brothers will lose about $4,000, half
the loss being covered by insurance.
What made Mr. Smiths loss so heavy
was the fact that for some weeks he
had been storing hay in his loft.

the trouble, as he knew him by the

On the redirect examination the wit

could not be mistaken in his identifi-

the request was granted.

on the minutes, which was done.
