proved fatal, and there were nineteen
cases of scarlatina, none of which were
fatal and in the ninety-five cases Of
were only two deaths from typhoid
fever, which in population of 10000
is something remarka BILE. There were
seventy three deaths from consumption,
only twenty-eight of the victims having
been born in California.
Public buildings We're inspected by
the Board of Health and some changes
made at the County Jail. The school
buildings We're also inspected and i'm

ROAD BUILDING.
Revival Of Interest in It Since the
Decision on the Clark Law.

The survey now being made of the
Sacramento and Folsom wagon road by
County Surveyor Boyd, under direction
of the Folsom Road Commissioners,
and assisted by Commissioners Ashe
and Price Of the State Department of
Highways, is progressing, and it is un-
derstood the Surveyors report will be
ready for presentation to the Board
of Supervisors on Monday next.
The Highway Commissioners have
very materially assisted Surveyor Boyd
in his work. and both Ashe and Price
have within the past few days gone
over the line of road and given it a.
careful examination.
Commissioner Price of the Depart
ment Of Highways yesterday visited
Fairfield, Solano County, on invitation
of Surveyor Eager, for the purpose of
assisting in the preparation of an esti-
mate for constructing a stone bridge
over a stream between Vacaville and
Suisun.
Since the Supreme Court rendered its
decision annuling the Clark road law
the Department of Highways has re-
ceived communications from Boards of
State, requesting advice on road mat
ters. The revival of interest in the
good roads movement, it appears, only
slumbered until the muddle of laws
We're straighteGed out, and the COM
munications received show a deter
mination on the part of county officials
to adopt a scientific method OF road
building with something of uniformity
in it.
An urgent appeal has been received
from Humboldt County, requesting the
Commissioners to visit that section and
advise as to the most accessible route
over the range so as to connect that
county with Trinity by means of
modern wagon road
1t is understood that the Commits
sioners will make the trip in the near
future, and the probabilities are that
the advice they give will be accepted
by Trinity and Humboldt Counties as
final, and that work will soon be COM
menced on the proposed road.

Will Debate the Question Resolved That It Is Better to Be Born
 Rich Than Poor.

On next Tuesday night at s o'clock D. m., in the spacious room of the court house this momentous ques
 ton will be 6tly determined by our young Demosthenes. The topic for debate is such timely theme that one cannot fail to be interested in it, and the young men are going to prove conclusively on the one side that it is better to be born rich, while the other side will show that such is not the state of affairs. We may realize cur fondest hopes in the way of anticipating one of the most interesting deoates ever held in our city. The young gentlemen who are to oppose each other on this question will certainly do it justice; they believe in dealing wuh this subject, as to give honor to whom honor is due, and that ''honor and shame from no condi- uion rise; act well your part thel e all the honor lies.

Women in the Postal Depart
 meut.

First Assistant Postmaster Gen. eral Heath has transmitted to the Postal Department of the German Government, a comprehensive re port on the employment of women in the government servce.
 Women, the report says, are em. ployed in all branches of the postal service, except as letter carriers, clerks in the railway mail service and postofiee inspectors. They are not deoarred by rule or regula- tion fram entering any branch of the service In fact, there are post offices in the United States at which there are none but women employ ed. The same salary is paid them as to men for the same character of work. In the Pcstoffice Depart ment salaries now paid to women vary from $40 to $500 per annum, according to service performed, though there is no rule prevent ting them from receiving more than that, and as postmasters or assist ants they sometimes receive much arger salaries.
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1897-11-28

Continuing, the report says it has been mooted question for maoy years with the heads of the execu- tive departments whether women can render as good general servlce as men, because the latter may be confronted with duties in a sense indelicate or which require too much manual labor But it is sell dom that duties devolve on any clerk or officer which can not be properly performed by women. The conclusion of the department is that altogether the services of women have prove almost, if not equally satisfactory with those of men. The report is based on a request by the German Government as to what has beer the general ex- perience of the government with women employes.
