LA GRIPPE. It Has Become an Epidemic Through out the State. low Pneumonia and Scarlet Tevcr are Contracted—Tl:e Spread of Diphtheria. Influenza or la grippe has, since the | last report, developed into n widespread j epidemic, equaling, if not exceeding, that j ■which prevailed during the winter of j 1889-90. That it spreads by atmospheric > influence may be inferred from its rapid ] diffusion from place to place without any known intermediate intervention of con tagion by'external media. The present epidemic, according to the State Board of Health's report, may be characterized by its sudden onset. The j intensity of its initiatory symptoms, the | premonitory chill, the fever, headache, j backache, pains in the bones and muscles [ •hat more nearly resemble Dcagnc. <.r backbone fever, than any other disease we I can remember. Another feature peculiar j to the present epidemic is the frequency I with which cases occur in which the cough j is almost entirely absent, and others in j which pneumonia of a low type is almost \ certain to be developed. The debility ac- j companyi'ig the disease is invariably j present and must be treated by stimulants ! liberally given. The origin of the disease j being unknown, the iiowcr of the sani tarian over it is exceedingly limited, and consists chiefly in advising the avoidance of all depressing influences that might deteriorate the healthy constitution or im pair its strength. UOOD AI>VICE TO IIKED. Diphtheria and croup were reported as present during last month in almost every portion of the State. The .sprcaU of this disease might be materially lessened if the public could bo taught to look upon It as it does upon smallpox,and tokethe same precautions in isolating its victims as it does those of the more loathsome i disease, which, while disagreeable to wait upon, is not half so deadly in its results as the diphtheritic poison. Another point upon which it might be well to in- j form the public is, that where an infec- i tious or contagious disease occurs in a I homo, and tho washing of the patient's bedding or clothing is sent away to be washed without lirst having tiiem thor oughly disinfected, and the washer woman or any of her family thereby be come infected, they can recover damages iv a court of law, if not previously noti fied or warned that the clothing is in- j fected. A few successful suits of this kind would engender caution and a re alization of the fact that public protection must bo afforded against infectious dis ease. HOW SCARLET FEVER IS CONTRACTED. In this disease, as in small-pox, the poison is given off from the bodies of the sick, and as there is no mode of protec tion corresponding with vaccination, the obvious means, therefore, of avoiding contagion is to keep out of reach ofthe in fection by the sick, or of articles infected by them. The difficulty of doing this can bo estimated when we learn of the persistence of the vitality of the poison. It is communicable during the whole ofthe illness and convalescence of the patient. Infected clothing that has been packed away for months may com municate the disease, and the instances are numerous where the infection has been carried long distances from the sick by healthy persons who have recently come in contact with scarlet fever. All these facts point to the most rigid exclu sion of susceptible children from every possible source of Infection. TltU DUKA!) DISKASK, PXCJSUXOHIA. Pneumonia prevailed everywhere in the State, and in many places it partook of an epidemic character. An instance was reported where the father, mother, brother and two sisters of a family took the disease, one after tiie other, and both parents died. This disease alone caused one hundred and sixty deaths during February. Bronchitis was prevalent to an alarm ing extent, but the type was not of a seri ous character. In Stockton, measles was epidemic, and Doctor Ruggtes notes that he does not even remember ot hearing of so large a mortality in February. Typhoid lever had tho remarkable small mortality Of seven attributed to it. Nix of these deaths were in San Francisco and One in Napa. The State Board of Health thinks that the limited death Kite from this disease may perhaps be at tributed to tiie cleansing of foul sewers and filthy places by the copious rains which visited the State during the month. THE PUBLIC WELFARE. What a Grand Leveo "Would Do for Sacramento. Eds. Record-Union: I was asked to day what measure would be the most im- I portant for the present and future wcl- j faro of this city, and I replied without hesitation, a good levee system, so firm and secure that it would last for all time to come. This question is the most im portant that ever has, or ever will come before this people; all others sink into in significance compared to it. The rivers have been the great bugbears from the city's birth, and ever will be ■while the half measures of the past are continued. What we want is a perfect, safe and se cure levee —one that will withstand the elements for centuries to come. This can i bo done by commencing, say at the City i Cemetery, on the cross'lovee. Let it be raised four feet; let the base be two hundred feet wide, and the top, say eighty feet wide, from the cemetery to Front and V street; from there to Front street raise the lovee six feet, and let the base be two hundred feet and the top ninety feet wide; from there to the bridge raise the levee four fei't —it is wide enough now; from the bridge to the Tivoli raise the levee four ■ feet, with a base two hundred feet, and eighty to one hundred feet on top; from the "Tivoli to Brighton Junction make the base two hundred feet and top eighty feet—it is high enough. Now, if needs be, and I should do it, rip-rap the ■whole distance with Folsom granite. You then have a perfect levee system for the next century. Let it rain and pour, you go to your homes with perfect securi ty. Property values will Increase three fold. .Every paper in the State will make note that Sacramento has made herself absolutely free from this danger. Strang ers will then pour in upon us as never before. Why should they not? Haven't ■\\e a climate that will compare with the beet in the world ? Are we not the rail road ci'iiter of this great State with fifty-six trains arriving and leaving daily from all points of the compass? Are we not sur rounded lor hundreds of miles with the must fertile lands that the sun evershown upon? Have we not orchards and vine yards enough within fifty miles about us to supply with the most luscious fruit every ;state in this Union? Doesn't the records of the State Medical Society show Sacramento city to be the healthiest on the Pacific slope? This is not all we can ofier to the new coiner. Look at the immense water pow er system that is a)tout completed at Fol som. There is nothing like it in America, and when completed it will make this city the shipping point for the hundreds of manufactories which will be in opera- i tion there. But the first question will be asked what it will it cost to build such a levee as above described, and how will the money be raised ? To the first question I will say that it matters not how much it will cost: the money will all be spent here, and the merchants who pay the most taxes will get the most of it back again. To the second question, it should be raised by bonds,in the same way money was raised'during the past year for street purposes. These bonds should run for twenty years, say at 4 per cent., and my word for it every dollar of these bonds could be disposed "of in the East in less than a month. What have we then? An absolutely secure levee for all time. Upon such a levee as I have described an elec tric railroad conld be built that would be as good as a mint to its owners, for who could resist a ride of ten miles aroucd our beautiful city for the small sum of ten or fifteen cents. But this is an after consideration. This levee system must be considered sooner or later, and the sooner the better. Look for one moment at the last official census. This city has increased in the past ton years, in round numbers, some l,(< 00 souls, when it should have inereassd l!»,Ouf). What is the cause of this meager increase? I can answer: It is because capital is timid. Everywhere you go the cry i.=s, ospe.ially in the fall and winter, "Oil, Sneraniento is in danger; the water is up to the top of her levees.'' This is the cause, and it should be removed at ' or.cc. When this work is begun em ■ ployment will be giver, to all who will ! work, and our merchants will be kept i busy and this city will assume her proper I place, as second to none on this coast. J. G. Maiitine. SEPARATE DISTRICT. A Number of Yolo Barmen Decide to I^evee Xnetar Handles. A number of the land owners on the Yolo side of the river, south of Washing ton, are about to join hands and form a separate levee district, so us to protect themselves from breaks in the levee oc curring near tho town or below Clarks burg. The proposition is to build a levee, commencing at a point on the river bank about three miles below Washington, extending it bock into the lowland about a mile and a half; then running it along the back slough for throe miles and joining the river again about two miles below Buokmsa it Carrogher's ranch. In all, nine randies will be in closed by the levee. The land owners will meet in a day or so to discuss matters and make necessary arrangements for the work. The Levees, it is understood, will be six feet wide on top, and high enough to stand thirty feet Of water. NO TROUBLE AT ALL. A Thorough Description Comes In 1 Tandy Sometimes. A country Constable dropped into town a few evenings ago, and begun a search for Justice of the Peace Henry, who was to attend to .sonic legal business for him. The Judge was not at his office, so the Constable went to his residence. He was not there cither, but Mrs. Henry told the visitor that i:o would probably find the Judge sauntering along J street, some where. "But I don't know him." replied the Constable. "What docs he look like?" "Well," answered the estimable little la.ly, "'I think I can describe him so you will know him. He is a large, stout man, with long gray whiskers, wears an ancient stove-pip;- hat, way off on the side of his head, and he walks along as if he owned the town." It was plain sailing for the Constable after tiiat. THE WEATHER. The Signal Sorvloe Ollleers Spy Another Storm Oft" Vimeouv-er.

McCloskey's Views. Manager I\lcCloskey oi the Sacra mentos thinks the dispatches received from Washington from the National League headqiiartes, announcing Secre tary Young's orders in the matter of the controversy over the reserved players, are not to be credited. Ho intimates, however, that if they are true, the Cali fornia League had better withdraw from the National Loagut; agreement and join the Association. Further particulars will be awaited with interest. Heavy Vino for Contempt. William Clifford, the young man who shouted "Dismiss the case" in the Police Court Wednesday morning, during the examination of Frank Dolan for seduc tion, was before Judge Cravens yester day for contempt of court.

She Imagined that People Wanted to Mnrder Her and Her Baby— Her Examination. Several weeks ago Mrs. Ann McLain, | a young woman who lived in the alley running between Third and Fourth, J and X streets, was taken to the County Hospital. She was in a delicate condi tion at the time, but otherwise appeared to be in good health. Two or three days after her arrival at the hospital she gave birth to a bouncing baby boy. She did recover as readily as the physicians had expected, and it was noticed that her mind was giving way. Dr. White and his assistants did all in their power toaid the unfortunate woman, but in vain. She soon became a raving maniac. IMAGINARY KUBDSSBBB, She Imagined that every one who en tered her apartment was trying to mur der her and her- baby, and kept n club concealed in her bed constantly with which to defend herself against her imag inary assailants. on Wednesday one of the nurses en tered the room and immediately Mrs. McLain set upon her with her club and belabored her over the head with it un til others, who henrd tiie nurse's screams, rushed to her assistance. The p:itiont fought the reinforcements off like an en raged tigress, and it way some time be fore she could be secured and placed where could do no further harm. On yesterday the unfortunate woman was brought to the County Jail, but in the afternoon, Judge < 'atlin and Or*. .Sim mon.-; and White, Bittingoa a Board of ln j sane Commissioners, examined her. IH'HTIXd HEB BABY. When fished why she bad assaulted the j nurse, Mrs. MeLain stated she caught the I nurse fobbing holes in her baby's face with a icnife, and tried to drive her oil. She Haiti that everybody at the hospital was trying to steal the baby, and she knew they would do it eventually even if they had to murder her (the mother). "Have you any other childivnjbesidcs this babyf" asked Dr. Simmons. "Oh, bless you, yes,* 1 she replied sadly, "but they have all been stolen from me. 1 see them every once in a while, though, when I go out into the country any place. A Major in the army stole them from me, but I will get them all back some day. Dr. White and one of his assistants told ofthe woman's actions at the hospital. and she was then committed to the asy lum at Stockton. It is not believed that the child will live. WALTZING ATHLETES. The Undine Boat Club Clvcs a Ilichly SuecosHiu! Hall. Turner Hall presented .a pretty sight last evening, the occasion being tho Un dine Boat Clab'fl ball. The decorations were neat and unique. On the walls were crossed tho polished oars used in the rac ing boats, and Hags and tlowers werr tastefully bunclied about them. On tho stage one of the long racing shells nestled, amid a profusion of plants and club's colors. Another decorated shell hung suspended from the gallery over tho en trance to the hull. The glare of tho electric lights was softened by the colored globes, and altogether the effect was charming. The boatmen and their many friends were there in foree—to such an extent that dancers had none too much room. Old-time Undines who happened to drop in, declared that the affair reminded them Of the "swell" balls tho club used to give in the days of yore. The grand nuu eh was led by President Harry Bernard, Vice-President W. E. Lovdal, Secretary Thomas W. Hum phrey and the other officers of the club and their ladies. The Committee of Arrangements, which brought the ball off BO success fully, comprised the following-named gentlemen: Reuben B. Hale, August Hose, George A. Knoblaugh, John C. Catlin, H. Nottingham.

Harry Bernard acted as Floor Manager, and his assistants wore L. S. Upson, W. E. Lovdal. 11. Nottingham, John Catlin and Joseph H. Gray, Jr. JOHN EITEL'S ESTATE. A Peculiar VUll Filed in the Superior Court for Probate. The will of John Eitel, the dead chem ist and scientist, has been filed in the Superior Court for probate. The document is a most peculiarly gotten-up affair. It is in the handwriting of the deceased. One portion of it was written in July, 1878, just prior to Mr. Eitel's departure on a trip to Europe. He bequeathed his estate equally to three brothers and three sisters, and asked that in the event of his death he be buried in the Odd Fellows' plat, in an inexpensive coffin, and with as little show as possible. In the event of n monument being erected over his grave, he asked that there should be inscribed thereon merely a record of the dates of bis birth and death. But in 18S(> a clause was added to the document, which m effect annulled all the provisions that preceded it except that portion relating to the funeral. It appeared that Eitel in the meantime had [ married again, am] as a result of the i union a second child was presented to him. In the will ho explains to his brothers anil sisters that they should recognize the claims of the nearer rela tives. The widow has petitioned to bo ap pointed administratrix. The estate is valued at about $12,000. SUTTER FORT TRUSTEES. The Governor Appoints From the Xa tive Sons. " Governor Markham yesterday ap pointed as members of the Board of Trus tees to look after the preservation of Sutter Fort, the following gentlemen: Eugene J. Gregory, Frank D. Ryan, C. E. Hollister, of Sacramento; E. E. Gaddis of Yolo and C. E. Grunsky of San F"ran cisco. These gentlemen composed the committee of the Grand Parlor. Native Sons of the Golden West, who turned over the property to the State under the Act recently passed by the Legislature. The Governor intimated a few days ago that he wxs inclined to appoint on the board General J. G. Martine, in recogni tion of that gentleman's earnest work in raising subscriptions to the Sutter Fort fund and in securing the deed to the property, but Mr. Martine did not desire the appointment. The Native Sons were desirous of the appointment of the gentle men composing their committee and he was willing they should have the honor, as the end for which ho had worked had been accomplished and that was all he desired. A PREACHER RESIGNS. Rev. Joiin F. ivon IlerrlicU Leaves the the Pulpit of St. Paul's. The Rev.
