THAT WOFUL LACK OF WATER
MAYOR LAND MAKES AN IN
VESTIGATION.
Had He Made It During the Fire
the Result Would Have
Been Different,

Aa last nights session Of the City
Trustees the following message from
Mayor Land was read:
The Record Unions edition of the
18th inst, in it's report of the fire
which deetroyed a frame building on
Fifth street, near M, owned by l.. p.
Gilman, states that there was a 'woful
lack of water or pressure
Il have investigated the matter, and
find that the register at the Water
Works registered f1fty-five pounds Of
pressure, and am informed by the
Chief Engineer, H. c. Wolf, that such
pressure was maintained throughout
the above fire and that which occurred
later in the morning.
Chief Engineer of the Fire Depart
ment H. A. Guthrie reports to me
that he had what is known as a good
fighting stream, and that there was
plenty Of water. There were two
streams from each of three plugs to
which engines We're attached. and two
small streams from plugs without en-
gines.
'The impression prevails that there
was scarcity of water, and from
my investigate / find that it is un-
founded. Some slight delay was caused
by the inability to open two fire-plugs,
which matter l recommend to your
honorable board by message under sep
arate cover be thoroughly investi-
gated"
| Judging from the Mayors own words,
all he knows about the matter is what
| he learned by an Investigations
making inquiry Of certain officials.
| The Record Union accused no Off
! cial of being either inattentive to duty
or incompetent. 1t simply stated a
| fact-that there was a woful lack of
water at that fire.
This information was not gained
through any investigation after the fire.
1t was gathered while the fire was in
progress. Fully 2O00 persons saw fire
men holding nozZles that did not send
streams twenty feet from them.
| The lack of water, or lack of pressure,
or whatever it was, was apparent to
every one. Sacramentans deplored the
picture that was presented, while
strangers from abroad made all sorts
of fun at the expense of our water
| supply.
Here was a building totally burned
! within less than two minutes run of
an engine-hous and the alarm was
given before the blaze in the base
ment was a foot high Not a breath
of wind was stirring, and yet not a
stick of the house was left uncon-
Sumed.
Was this because the fire department
was inefficient? Surely not. The men
and engines were there PROMPTLY, but
they had to stand and hold useless
nozzles while the building burned fiat
to the ground. If they had plenty of
| water, why did they not put out the
fire?
The supply may have improved after
the house had burned. The reporter
did not wait to see.
The "Record-Union" repeats what
every one who was at the fire knows
to be the fact-that there was a woful
lack of water, the Mayors investiga-
ton to the contrary notwithstanding.

A Great English Statesman's Secret.

The secret of a celebrated English
statesman's long life was his systematic
way of eating. Every bite OF food was
chewed thirty times before swallowing.
The result was he naturally enjoyed good
health. Most men and women bolt their
food and eat things which were Eever
intended to be eaten. They become cost-
i've, have a bad complexion, lose flesh,
are irritable and nervous, ard the first
thing they know they are played oJt."
1t is grtifying to know that Hostettcr' s
Stomach Bitters cures stomach trou-
bles. 1t is a purely vegetable medicine
that has stood the test of many years. 1t
cures cases which seem to be hopeless.
Sufferers from any disorder of stomach,

Have You a Pet superstitionq

4" Idon't believe there is a man living
who is without his pet superstition, I"
remarked a secondhand furniture man
the other day. "We constantly have
people who sell us articles of household
use and come in after a few weeks
sometimes only days-and try to buy
them back again, with the explanation
that they have had bad luck ever since
the sale was made and never would have
good luck again until the bargain was
undone.
Gone woman who had sold us her
grandmother's clock fairly wept because
it was gone before she could buy it in
again. This idea is not confined to I'M
educated or ignorant people by any
means.
eat this very time l know a business
man of great culture and refinement
who is vigorously pursuing al old
wooden desk which he owned many
years ago-a desk OH which he made an
enormous amount of money by a few
lucky strokes of his pen. The desk
passed from hand to hand and out of
his possession. He is now earnestly en-
deavoring to trace it and purchase it,
believing that recent business reyerses
and hard times will flee away, if he can
only stretch his legs once more under
that same old desk ''-Pearson's Week

Gentility Passing Away.

A frankness that is almost brutal
seems to pass current in society for up
to date smartness, and the language
that is now used by certain fashionable
people among themselves is sometimes
only Il little short of billingsgate, while
"swear words seem to have lost their
awfulness and are used almost as freely
by women as by men. 1t is curious
how "gentility" both as a word and a
quality has disappeared. Fashionable
people are distinctly no longer "gen-
teel. They may OF occasions be high
bred, but the mincing propriety of the
bellies and beaus Of yore has entirely
disappeared. In a we'll known society
novel written Is CT 20 years ago, which
was a presumably correct d%elineation
of the manners and habits of the fash
ionable life of that time, two heroines
play their role-one a We're de We're,
with the correct speech and tanners of
her caste, and the other a suddenly ex-
allied %bourgeoise, who goes through the
social fires of criticism and experience
before she emerges true gold from the
ordeal. Oddly enough today the types
might be reversed it is the bourgeoise
who is "high toned" and the We're de
We're who is a slangy holder. New
