The great and unvarying success of

it to be the modern safeguard of wo-

More than million women have been

A large publishing firm at the East
has demonstrated, at least to its own
satisfaction, that men are a world
more honest than is claimed for them.
The supposed popular idea Is that
every man is seeking to do" his fell
low, and that no one can be trusted
unless the creditor is safeguarded by
personal knowledge of the debtor, or by
sound guarantees. But this publish
ing firm not long ago hit upon the plan
of selling its books without the inter-
vention of the middle man. It noti-
fed the people that any books in its list
regularly issued could be ordered, one
volume at time, or one set of two or
three volumes, and the books would be
Immediately forwarded by mail. If the
would-be purchaser, he is to forward
the money. If it is not to his liking he
returns it through the mails. After
trial sufficiently long to test the safe
ty of the system the publishers report
that sit works; that book buyers are
honest men; that fewer books are re-
turned than by middlemen. and
that the percentage of those who do
not pay after accepting the books is so
small as to bear no serious comparison
with the margin Of profit which had to
be allowed the middlemen. In fact. it
is said to be tr1fiing, since practically
all who order books pay for them or
return them unharmed. It was
fear at the beginning of the enter
prise that conscienceless people would
order books, take them for examina-
ton, read them and then return them
with the statement that the book is not
to the liking of the rS<1er. But the
publishers declare that cases of that
order are very infrequent, and that
their losses by reason of such cheat
ing are few, really not appreciable. If
we assume these statements to be
strictly true, they stand high to the
credit Of the reading public and of
bookbuyers especially, AID prove that
the oft-repeated charge that most men
are dishonest is a libel upon humanity

The headboard was found in Capitol

Referring to this act and to state

for it, though they try to protect them

things may be taken at night, when
the workmen are at home asleep, but
that during the day the cemetery is
as closely watched as the duties Of
the employees will permit.

it is indebted more than to any other
intelligence of the age for its trans
formation from city of dirt and filth
to one Of comparative cleanliness
Waring sowed seed which will spring
up and bear fruit for ages to come.
To him, as a great sanitary engineer,
American cities owe a debt of graft
tude that cannot be paid by any post
mortem recognition.
Under his administration in New
York and up to the time Tammany
attempted to overthrow him because
he would not prostitute his skill to
political ends, he had reduced the an
nual death rate of the city 5000. He
converted the city of Memphis from a
pest hole of yellow fever into city
where the plague Is no more known.
He accomplished 1t by system of
drainage so simple and effective that
1t is the admiration of the South to
this day. The lives he saved by that
one act are simply countless. and the
~tNtA@~@AA A1AASC1f SPcA ca sfiC oNO ny A-N~
art and courage in Memphis is simply
beyond estimate.
He went to Cuba to show what could
be done in cleansing the cities of that
island and robbing yellow fever of its
dread. Had he lived he would have
won his fight. OF that there can be
no doubt entertained. In the highest
and broadest sense he was the great
apostle Of municipal cleanliness. As
such he has left behind him examples
which viii not be lost upon the world
His methods remain with US, and If
we do not fully avail of them we will
deserve to relapse into the miseries
of dirt pestilence.
That New York is not unmindful of
what it owes to Colonel Waring is
found in the movement now on foot
in that city to raise a substantial fund
for his family, which he left without
much means. For while he was tire
less worker and always had good
income, he was man of such hber-
ality and had so many calls upon his
generosity, that he died comparatively
poor.

I TILE BIG FIGHT.
Sacramento Sports Are Worked Up
Over the Battle.

A great deal of interest is mani
tested in local sporting circles over
the Corbett- -Sharkey fight that is to
come off in New York tonight, but If
any betting is being done 1t is on the
quiet and for small sums.
Opinion seems to be about evenly di-
vided as to the outcome. Every one
must admit that Corbett is the clever
est boxer in the world, and therefore
far and away the sailors master, so
far as science is concerned. but there
are many who do not believe he has
the stamina to stay with so strong
and persistent fighter as Sharkey.
In the first few rounds Corbett will
give Sharkey a terrible battering, no
doubt, and may even succeed in put
ting the lusty sailor man to sleep. His
play should be to land on Sharkey so
fast and so fiercely that the latter will
cease his bull-like rushes and try to
fight at arms length. At that Cor
bett should be able to close Sharkey's
eyes. put another kink in his nose, and
beat him down as he did Sullivan.
The danger to Corbett lies in Shark
ey's ability to Withstand great deal
of punishment and yet continue to bore
in and break down his adversary's
guard. But Corbett is not only able
to punch hard himself, but is as game
man as ever put up his props in
the ring. He has never shown the
white feather in all his career as
fighter, and can take as we'll as give
punch.
If Corbett has the stamina he should
have at his age-which can be proven
only by test-he should have no diff1-
Guilty in defeating Sharkey, but If his
good condition is only apparent, and
not real, then he is up against hard
game. A few hours will tell the story.
