Boyd's Explanations.
On the same or the next day Mr..
Boyd paid in at the Office of the Pub
lie Works Department $4,000, repre-
senting the money referred to above
received by him from Messrs. Theo. II.
Davies & Co. and also $2995, stated by
him to be on account of land sales.
and also $231.3O, stated by him to be
on account of interest on deferred pay.
ments. The item Of 1896 was for col
lection on account OF land sales re.
ceived by Mr.. Boyd during the months
of April. 1901, and February, 1902. The
transaction Of April, 1901, was on &C.
count of .sceipt from Mrs. Rose Of
$500 which appears to have been en-
tered in the cash Of October "a, 1902.
In connection with the payment Of
the Theo. II. Davies & Co. fund Of
$4,000, Mr.. Boyd verbally informed me
that $4,000 of this amount had been
deposited with Messrs. Spreckels & Co.
and that the balance OF $500 had been
placed in the safe under his personal
control In the Public Works Office with
tag explaining the status thereof and
referring to the balance deposited with
Messrs. Spreckels & Co.
Mr.. Boyd's reply OF October 9th,
was most unsatisfactory for these rea-
sons; II declined to answer the ques-
tions Of my letter OF October 25th. re-
land sales, not deposited In the Public
Works office. nor entered in the official
books; 1t exhibited as 1t seemed to me
want of due appreciation of the obli-
cations OF a public officer to the public
interests, and failure to apprehend
the responsibility of one acting in a
fiduclary capacity in accordance with
recognized business principles.

From the standpoint of the conyicts,
would it not be better morally and ply
sically to employ them out of doors than
within penitentiary walls, and in hardy
occupations rather than those more or
less sedentary: BY dividing them into
squads Of from ten to twenty men each
the danger of conspiracies and the evils
incident to wholesale and miscellaneous
herding would be lessened.
In the absence OF legislative appro-
priation providing for a system Of State
roads, details Of convicts might be made
to counties under lease system. the
counties bidding for the labor, as private
parties do now.~ 1t seems to me the plan
could be worked out in all details and
would be highly advantageous. 1 pre-
sumo the employees at the penitentiary
would be opposed to this plan because it
would mean more hard work for them
and increased responsibility, but if our
legislators and executive want to distin-
guish themselves it seems to ME that
here is magnificent opportunity.

manhood, morally, intellectually and ply
sically, the institutions which they make
and manage come most naturally to be
the greatest of their kind, and the city
Of which they are part is great because
Of them.
Next to men should place means. All
the men i'm the world could build neither
a good nor a great city without money.
It is the power for good or bad. In the
hands Of truly great men, Of honest men,
the results that may be obtained to the
goodness and greatness Of a modern city
are almost beyond conception.
Because Of the influence Of money, the
status of q city's financial institutions
is 90 grave Importance in estimating its
claim to true greatness. The high stand
ing Of it's banks, and the integrity of its
trust companies, are not only important,
they are absolutely necessary. The great
est financial institutions Of country
center in the cities where money clrcu-
lates most freely, and establish there the
money markets Of the world.
Perhaps the first feature that makes
city really great in the eyes Of the world
is its population But numbers, however
large, can never make a city truly great.
The manner in which the people are gov
erned is much more important; and great
men are the true foundation stones of
all great cities. Through them come
high religious ideals, and institutions of
true learning and broad charity; and
through them is good government obtain
ed. The greater and better the men, the
greater and better the city.

ordinary course of his medical practice
not one physician in hundred ever
comes in contact with a genuine case.
This being true, whatever the average
doctor may know regarding this dread
malady has been learned from books OF
impaired by some medical college instruc-
tor who himself, perhaps, has no knowl-
edge gained from actual experience in
its treatment. Under such circumstances
it is not surprising that mistakes in dag
nosis are frequent. Even health officials
IN large cities, who see cases of the dis
ease frequently, are at times unable in
its incipiency or early stages to distin-

and repeated doses Of medicines that are
sometimes taken by persons without the

every one who has had an attack of the

had been twice severely afflicted with the

The fact remains, however, that vacci-

seem to be the duty Of every one to be

The first two lessons on board ship
are. perhaps, obedience and the learn
ing to keep things 'shipshape." In ac-
co.npl;shing the latter task, there must
be no waste. Economy is as requisite
as order. 4 writer who calls himself
IL Yankee sailor" tells in his reminis-
cences, entitled Ion Many Seas" the
story Of his Introduction to marine dis
ciplinc. He says:
My first job was tc scrub the brass
work about the wheel and screw-steer-
ing. The steamer being new, there was
a deal of work to do about the rigging,
which had stretched all out of shape
on the passage from Fairhayen to New
York.
On this, my first day, they had been
setting up the lower rigging, and the
decks were very much Uttered, when
the mate ordered me to "sweep up"
First. I went round and gathered up
handful Of ''shakings," that is, odds
and ends of rope yarns, and with them
a brand-new piece of inch-and- a half
MANILA rope. about six or seven feet
long, which had been cut off for some
purpose. Surprising this to be Of no
value where there was such an abund-
ance of rope of all sorts, I carelessly
threw it overheard.
The mate was on the poop, and hear
ing the splash, looked to see what had
caused it. Down he came on the main
deck, and asked me who had thrown
the piece of rope overheard.
II did," said 1; and then got a lec-
ture on economy so emphatic, and so
punctuated with abusive epithets, that
have never forgotten it.
He told me l was the most useless
fool he had ever come across, in long
and varied career, and threatened to

Calstic POliteness.

A certain society woman who had
taken offense at Harry Lehr on some
trivial ground undertook to humiliate
him In the presence OF some fashion
able friends. She waited for her op-
portunity, and then remarked, with a
sneer:
"Mr Lehr, will you please send a
case Of wine to our house? We are all
anxious to help you along, you know"

seven years pandemic Of 1879 to 1885.
Little is known of the first cause Of
this malignant disease, but nowadays it
occurs only by the Infection being con-
vcyed from one person to another. Small
pox contagion exceeds in yirulence that
Of any other malady. The infectious prin-
ciple resides in the fluid contents Of the
pocks and in the crusts resulting from
their desiccation, and probably it is con-
tanned in all the fluids Of the body. More
over, it pervades the emanations from the
person, so it may be contracted without
actual contact with the one infected.
The volatile contagium may extend to a
considerable distance, it having been
known to cross a stream Of water, nearly
half mile wide, and when attached to
articles Of clothing, merchandise, paper
money, etc., it is very energetic and per-
slstent. The disease is proba bly, more in
tensely contagious during the vascular
stage OF eruption, but it is communicable
at alt periods Of its course. 1t may also
be carried from one person to another
without the person who carries it himself
suffering from an attack.
The period Of incubation is usually thir-
teen days, although in rare cases the
time may be shorter. The symptoms are
ushered in with chill. this being follow
ed by high fever, great weakness, yomit-
ing. severe headache and pain in the
back. Then the little red eruption ap-
pears, first upon the face and head and
Il few hours later upon the body.
Much so-called smallpox isn't smallpox
at all, and doubtless many persons show
ing various similar symptoms have been
needlessly exposed to contagion by being
hurried away to isolation hospitals by
ignorant health authorities. Smallpox is

lation Of life II we had waited for a
majority Of the women of our nation to
demand higher education, when do you
suppose the doors Of our colleges would
have been opened to them?
Dire results have been predicted ut ev-
cry step Of radical progress. When wom-
en- first enjoyed higher education, the cry
went out that the home would be de-
stroyed. But the schools We're opened,
and women entered them, and it has
been discovered that the intelligent wom-
an makes wiser mother, better home
maker and a much more desirable COM
panion, friend and wife than woman
whose intellectual horizon is narrowed by
the circuit Of embroidery and the min-
uet.
When coeducation was first tried, men
thought they would easily carry off the
honors, but soon they learned their mis-
take. That experience gave to men a
better opinion Of woman's intellectual
ability. The larger intellectual powers
Of women and the greater financial indie
pendence Of women have tended to ele-
yate the home. There is nothing in lib
erty which can harm either man or wom-
an; there is nothing in justice which can
work against the best good Of humanity.
