ROUGH on ROOSEVELT.

Colonel Roosevelt's lot is not an entire
" happy one. He has his ups and downs
like much less advertised men. Two Of
his recent appointments for speaking have
turned out disagreeably. He yielded to
pressing invitation TO go 20 Troy to
make a speech at the fair there, and was
assured OF an audience Of 10000 Instead
Of thar number, he had but 900! If the
people wished to hear him they did not
wish it bad enough to pay an admission
Fee OF course he was bitterly disap-
pointed, but he carried out his part of the
programme unflinchingly.
In explanation OF that fiasco, II Is said
the appointment was made by the Repub-
lcan State Committee, and the local COM
mittee was not notified, and hence a
hitch. However, IT Is certain that Roose-
Welt had an ample number OF advance
notices from the press, and if the voters
had been hungering TO hear him they
would have gone without being pushed
forward by the local committee.
Upon his return to New York city,
Roosevelt appeared before negro meet
ing at Lenox Hall. The meeting had
been literally advertised, but according
to the Herald. only 25O persons were pres
ent. Roosevelt, however, gave them as
much "taffy" as they could digest. lie
was especially eloquent concerning the
exploits OF the colored cavalry in Cuba.
He might have added that in the partl-
ton OF the glory OF the occasion the
Rough Riders got some that belonged TO
his colored friends.
The Democrats OF New York have been
very active of late, and Mr.. Croker, who
Is supposed to know something about poll
tics, says the State will be carried by
Van Wyck by 10000 majority. Certain
it is, that there is a very pretty contest
on in New York, and that something more
than Roosevelt's military renown is need
ed to carry him safely through.

DOCTORS ON FOLSOM SEWER
IMMEDIATE ACTION URGED BY
STATE BOARD OF HEALTH.
A State Veterinarian Appointed to
Look After Anthrax and
Texas Fever.

DR.. A. M. Henderson, who has just
returned from the quarterly meeting
of the State Board Of Health at san
Francisco, was seen by RECORD
Union reporter last night regarding
the principal work of the board. speak
ing of the matter, he said:
Though we had our meeting at the
Palace Hotel it is a strange fact tnat
none of the newspapers had represen-
tatiyes present or seemed to know
what we were doing"
Did any matters of interest to Sac
ramento people come before the
board?' was asked.
YES. one thing in particular. A res
olution was introduced and passed to
the effect that DR.. Matthews be IN
structed to correspond with the Pr1s-
on Directors and request them to make
all possible haste to have the bad sew
ers at Folsom repaired so that lie
water supply of this city Will not be
contaminated with the sewage from the
prison"
1t was the sense of the board that
all that can be done in this matter
should be done at once, ana ii is be-
ueved that the request Of the board

sible.
Another matter of great importance
that was discussed by the board was
the question Of anthrax. II was an
nounced by DR.. Henderson, somewhat
to the surprise Of some Of the physl-
clans, that he had attended Il case OF
malignant pustule, which is one OF the
forms of the deadly anthrax. he mad
a patient who had all the symptoms,
and as he was a mill1man DR.. Hender-
son felt that the disease was anthrax.
He also reported that the disease was
known to exist in Yolo, sacramento
and Nevada Counties. Texas fever was
reported to be quite prevalent.
Dr. Bazet reported that there was
genuine anthrax in Marin County. IT
was the opinion of the board that in1-
mediate measures should be taken 10
prevent the spread Of t-e disease
throughout the State, and to this end
DR.. Archibald, a well-known Oakland
veterinary surgeon, was appointed
State Veterinarian. He Will give aid
to all local authorities in their endeav-
ors to stamp out the disease. In this
connection, DR.. Bazet stated that DR..
Jones Of Marin County had ordered
that all cattle that had died of anthrax
in that county be exhumed and incin-
Grated at once. DR.. BaZet also stated
that Pasteur found that the germs Of
anthrax lived and were susceptible of
culture after burial for seven years.
The appointment Of DR.. Ruggses as
an expert to visit the Hawaiian ISL
ands and study leprosy was confirmed.
It is the purpose of the board to 10 all
in their power to obtain information of
value IN reference to the treatment
and preventive methods used in coun-
tries afflicted with leprosy.
