monument of granite or marble. An

inclosing this
1t is believed that Mr.. Tyler did not
write any inscription for his tomb but
probably intended to do so later, for
getting about it in the time intervening
before his death
It certainly was not intentional that
his grave was neglected by his coun-
! trymen, for the General Assembly of
Virginia, immediately after Mr.. Tyler's
death, adopted a eulogistic memorial
which closed as follows.
Resolved, That with the consent OF
his family his remains be deposited in
Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond near
the remains of James Monroe, and that
the Governor be authorized to cause a
suitable monument to be erected to
his memory"
This explains how the body came to
be placed in the cemetery, regardless
of the request in the will The ex-
PLANTATION for the neglect of his grave
probably lies in the fact that about that
time the Governor of the Old Dominion
had his hands full with the worries of
the Civil War, which was then growing
very warm
John Tyler. according to popular be-
lief during his life and probably IN
truth. was a lineal descendant of Wat
Tyler, the famous Englishman who re-
helled against the tyranny of King
James. He inherited a hatred of Brit
ish oppression, which was brought out
in his career in the House of Repre-
sentatives, in the Senate and in the
Executive chairs of his State and ma
ton. He had a brother of some fame
of the name of Wat Henry Tyler, of
whom his mother said: I'VE have so
named him after the two greatest Brit
ish rebels, Wat Tyler and Patrick Hen
ry"
When the rebellion was threatening,
the former President was unanimously
declared President of the Peace Con-
ference which met in Wizards Hall,
Washington, February 4 1861. This
conference was, of course. as it was
afterward often characterized. "a dig
nified and stately failure" and when
it had failed Tyler was loyal to his
State and Joined actively in the cause
of the Confederacy. Although unpop-
ular while President, because his dem
ocratic views angered the Wings who
had elected him, he was personally very
popular and a recognized statesman,
and was considered one of the brightest
men of the time An interesting story
of his life was written by Henry A.
Wise, who was his college mate in
William and Mary, in which Mr.. Tyler
is made the center of influence for sew
eral decades.-New York Times.

TyIer's Grave Forgotten.

Few people who visit the Hollywood
Cemetery at Richmond, Va. fail to
ask to see the graves OF former Presi-
dents John Tyler and James Monroe.
They then learn a fact that is little
known There is no stone or mark Of
any kind to distinguish the last resting
place of Mr.. Tyler of ''Tippecanoe and
Tyler too" fame who was this nations
tenth Chief Executive.
The superintendent of the cemetery,
John r. Hooper explains TO the person
looking for historical spots that the
grave of Mr.. Tyler may be found by
first locating the figure" monument
erected to the memory'of the ex-Presi-
dents daughter, who died before he did.
The statesman's body lies near that Cf
his daughter, in the same lot. A slight
rise in the ground is all that marks the
spot, and unless some action is taken
in the near future to provide for a
fitting memorial to the man who once
held the highest Office in the gift of
the American people it is not improb
able that his resting place will be en-
tirely forgotten. IF the records of the
cemetery should in some way be de-
stroyed there would be nothing to show
where this once great man was buried.
The present Keepers of the cemetery
and its books are probably the only liv
ing beings who can, with certainty.

HEALTH OFFICER DENIES IT.
SAYS THERE IS NO TYPHOID
EPIDEMIC.
DR.. Nichols Doesn't Believe There
Are a Dozen Cases Here at
This Time.

Some very sensational Sldlellehl9
have lately been published regarding an
alleged epidemic of typhoid fever III .iii'
city. one being to the effect that tiieie
are 200 cases of that dread malaoy. -
Record Union reporter yesterday
asked DR.. H. L. Nichols, Health oIlcer
and Secretary of the Board OF Healen'
as to the truth or falsity of these re-
ports and he replied that he ana MOI
believe there are more than uo%eiA
cases of typhoid fever in the CITY
"A report in the evening paper eo
Gently" said the DOCTOR tha' -
cases of typhoid fever eXlsteo lA ~
CITY called forth q communication I'm
some one in last evenings paper On
the subject, and the report from IN
Health officer was referred TO as nay
ing reported only two cases Iol
ruary. Following this commuillca'ioii
the statement was made that the re-
ports from the Health Ot1cer were u
no value.
Now. as to the value OF the reports
i will not argue, as 1t IS mere ma
ter of opinion, the same as 10 any o'heA
publication But l do say that the re-
ports are correct, as may be proven ny
the vouchers on file in the Health
Office. But two cases were reporteu III
February. Possibly there were other
cases which were not reported, as ~
has not been the general custom u
physicians to report typhoid cases.
do not believe, however, that there are
200 cases of typhoid fever IN the CITY,
nor twenty cases. Not every case or
fever with high temperature continuing
for several days is typhoid, by any
means.
I'VE have had little rain this winter,
and consequently the sewers have not
received their annual flushing. II we
do not have heavy rains soon they
should be flushed by the city pumps.
Much foul matter is being carried INTO
the sewers by the direct connections
made during the past year, mahlits
flushing more necessary than before.
"Since the abandonment of wells and
our water supply has been from the
river the CITY has been remarkably free
from typhoid fever. and am not look
ing for an epidemic of it at the pres
ent time"
The abandonment of wells" men
toned by DR.. Nichols, seems to be
somewhat vague. Those who have
lived in Sacramento for upwards OF
thirty years cannot recall the time
when the city received its supply from
any source other than the river, and
whatever cases of typhoid fever nave
occurred in that time, or now exist, can
no doubt be justly charged to the riV-
er water or impure milk-at least until
medical science shall acknowledge
some other and more tangible cause.
That foul sewers are productive or
other kinds of fevers and malignant
diseasesis of course beyond question, and
to have them thoroughly and frequent
" flushed is a duty that should be en-
forced by law. Failure to have this
done should be recognized as criminal
negligence.
While it is gratifying to have the as
surance that there is no typhoid epi-
demic here, it would be still more graf
flying to know that there were no cases
at all. and there would not be if the
people had pure water, pure milk and
well-washed sewers.
