FIREWORKS, OR NOT ? Citizens Who Regard Them as Only Wasting Money. What tho Fourth of July Executive Committee Did Last Evening— An Orator and Reader. There was an adjourned meeting of the Fourth of July Executivo Committee last evening at the Courthouse, presided over by Mayor Comstock, with Secretary C. "W. Baker at his post of duty. The Literary Committee made a partial report through Chairman W.A.Ander son, to the efleet that it had Mooted Hon. P. L. Coombs of Napa as Urator of the Day,and S. Luke Howe of Sacramento as Reader of the Declaration of Inde pendence. The invocation will be made by Rev. J. Levy, and the benediction by Rev. J. B. Silcox. The committee recommended that the j literary exorcises be held in tho Assembly Chamber; also that the musical pro gramme suggested by Mr.s. Addie Carter be adopted, the cost to be ?SO. An estimated expense of £'25 was re ported for preparing the Assembly Cham ber. The committee further reported that tho estimated expense of entertaining the orator would be |30, and that it had not yet secured a poet for the occasion. The report of the committeo was adopted. The Finance Committee reported that it had subdivided the city into canvass ing districts, the same as last year. Some fifty names were reported of persons to constitute tho Canvassing Committees. They are: A.Abbott, D. Lubin, M. A. Howard, J. E. Mills, Frank Hickman, C.H. Hub bard, J. a. Moynihan, C. T. Barton, Peter Newman, George Newman, How ard KimbroughjW. H. Ennis, Mr.Snow, M. J.

Comstock, Mayor Sacra mento City —Dear Sir: The members of the Ladies' Museum Association are de sirous of giving a mammoth concert on the evening of July 4th at the'new Pa vilion, for the benefit of the association, which indirectly assists the School of De sign and Art Gallery. A concert on s big scale, including all our well-known war-songs and patriotic tunes, would be a new feature for tho celebration of the evening, anil, it is believed, would be bel ter apprt dated by the public than the usual display of fireworks. "The association, however, does not wish to Interfere with the programme of the regular Fourth of July Committee, and therefore will only give the concert If tho committeo decides not to have a display of fireworks this year. "Will you be kind enough to bring tiiis matter for consideration before the meet ing to-night, called by you, and, if possi ble, arrive at a positive conclusion whether this year's celebration is to in clude a display of fireworks or not, and much oblige "The Officers ani> Members of ths Ladies' Musbum Association." Mayor Comstock said it was desirous that the ladies be informed at the earliest possible moment as to wind the commit tee would do.as they wouid have much to do to prepare for their proposed national concert on the evening ofthe 4th. J. B. Gilbert having said that ho un derstood the ladies wanted financial aid. J. A. Woodson explained that such was not the case. The ladies simply wished t.i have the patronage of Uie public on that evening, in the hone that they might raise several hundred dollars to be ex pended here at home in paying for free scholarships in the School of Design, in stead of having it sent away for fireworks to be burnt up in an hour or two. T. L. Enright argued that nothing should be done at that time until the Fi nance Committee had an opportunity to know what funds it would have. Mr. Woodson said the committee could decide now whether or not it would havo lireworks, just as well as to wait. Mr. Gilbert said that for one he was op posed to such shows on the national holi day as the ladies ofthe Museum Associa tion proposed to have. It was a day that people wanted to enjoy in the usual* way. C. K. Mc< latchy moved that the Secre tary Inform the ladies of the Museum Association that the committee was un able at this time to inform them definitely as io its purpose. The motion was carried. G. W. Ficks moved that the chair ap point the various sub-eomniitte.98 to take charge of the different branches of the celebrate >n. So ordered. Mayor Comstock then announced the following names: Invitation—W. H. Ennis. C.W. Baker, J. O. Coleman and \v. i>. Knights. Printing—C. K. McClatchy, T. W. Sheehan and W. Drury. Parade—T. L. Enright, J. W. Wilson and J. J. McKinnon. The appointment of Committees on Programme and Amusements was de fined until the next meeting. Mr. Woodson thought that the com mittee should outline Its plan ai once, in order that the public might know ior what purpose they were contributing their money. He was certain there could be no more money raised than is usually spent for fireworks. There should bo a tta and otlier features—an evening illumination, for instance. ' 'i. motion, th- Literary Committee was charged with the duty of procuring music • :.e day. On motion of W. A. Anderson, W, B. Miller, G. W. Kicks and J. J. McKinnon tned ss a committee to select a < rrand Marshal. •i. W. w Uson renewed Mr. Woodson's - lon that some definite plan of sting the day should be decided upon. The time was getting short, and something should be done at once. Mr. Harmon explained that it w;is the dnty ol tin- Programme Committee to re port a }.\-.u.. Mr. Woodson said that was a mistake. Fh< General Committee should roughly outline what tho features were to be, and it waa the duty u f the sub-committees simply to carry out the General Com mits c s plan in detail. w. B. Miliar said tbat nine-tenths of ney to be contributed would be by ss men, and he knew—from con versations with several of them—that would not contribute a cent if the! . was to be expended in fireworks, which would take the people away from the business portion of the city during the entire evening. He moved*, in order to settle that matter, tliat there be no pub lic lireworks. George W. Kicks indorsed Mr. Miller's remarks, and said it was time s stop was potto the wase of money in lireworks. The people were tired of them, \ and those most desirous of bav in* them were generally those who have a personal interest in the ex penditure of money therefor. The same money expended toward s mardi-gras '-- f>arade would give far greater satisfae- j ' Mt Enright thought it would be better for the Canvassing Committee to ask eiti sens in calling OU them for money, what tbeir wishes io the matter might be, !_ long discussion ensued, and Anally j \V \ (Enderson moved that the motion belaid on the table, which was carried. | The committee then adjourned until Saturday night. -+. IS IT PRUDENT? Mooney Not a Watchman—How the County Treasury Is Guarded. J. E. Mooney, janitor at the Hall of Records, explains to the Recokd-I'nion that he is not employed as a watchman, i (is work is day labor in the building, but he ii> required to sleep in tho Treasurer's oilice, and for it receives uo special com pensation. He says he spends his even ings as he pleases, and sometimes goes to the theater. He is simply to come in at bedtime and sleep in the building. He lights the gas at 5 v. isi. and goes away, if he chooses. If all the ollicers are out, he locks the outer doors ; ifany remain after 5 o'clock, the last one out is expected to lock up. Tuesday evening he left tho Treasurer in tho building, and that gentleman for got to lock the outer door or light the gas when he left. Mooney adds that all the officers have keys and can come into the building at any hour. The front-door key is a simple instrument, and the lock can bo easily opened with a skeleton key or a wire. The door into the Treasurer's public ollice, he says, is never locked. The steel or iron interior blinds have never been dosed, it being thought best to leave them up with the gas lighted. As to the open windows, Mooney says ho leaves them open for ventilation. So the care of this public building and treasure at night amounts to this: that it is open to whomsoever chooses to enter, and the security of the treasury is wholly dependent upon the vault and safes, and the safety of the records upon tho inner upper door. The RECORD-UNION sub mits to tlie Supervisors that this is not prudential; tliat it is exceedingly loose and unbusiness-like: that where a watch man is not on duty no public building should be so easy of access at night. The city manages \ cry much better at the Art Gallery, for instance, where the custodian before he leaves sees to it that the building is securely locked, sll the iron blinds closed, and that tii-- watch man, who also closes all entrances, re ports to him for duly at the last door, and fastens over it the outer iron doors with a burglar-proof padlock, and then takes up his watch for the night. The county does not exercise any such diligence as this, if the practice Mooney reports obtains at caunty buildings. It is u< 11 to have a line, strong vault and all that; It is also well to Secure outer doors and the windows by more than ordinary locks, that the approach to the vault may be more difficult. The truth Is, that for the Courthouse, Hall of Records and jail, with its seventy inmates, there should be a night patrolman. The face that the janitor sleeps in the Hall of Records is cf no value whatever; it simply exposes him to danger, and is no sort Qf protec tion to tne property, especially if he is not require! tp ke. p specific hours. The matter is by no means the trilling affair that it has been styled, and experi enced ollicers are free to say that the sys tem in vogue is unparalleled,and an open invitation to burglars and thugs, to whom the county advertises the (act that for some hours at night the building is liable tolieinaconditie.n in which they could work their business uninterruptedly. Ii is a fact tliat skilled safe and vault crackers can enter the COUUty vault and safe, no matter how strong, in a few hours, if they have undisturbed p sion of the building, ifany one doubts this, let him consult tho records of safe and vault cracking, with which records all experienced police officials are fa miliar. .».

Progress of Work on the State Series Geography. It Will Be Embellished With Twenty three Finely Executed and In structive Engravings. C. IT. Holmes, engraver for the Stato School-book Series, and his assistant, W. E. Smith, are busily engaged in pre paring the engravings which are to ap pear in the new geography. The draw ings from which the engravers are mak ing the wood-cuts were designed by Charles Dick man of Sau Eraneisco and Mrs. Miriam Weekes of Sonoma, with the aid of W. IL V. Raymond, chief edi tor ofthe State School-book Series. Great care is being taken by Mr. Holmes and Mr. Smith in the work of reproducing these drawings, and the book when issued will, it is claimed, de light the teachers. Mr. Raymond is not yet prepared to say, however, when the geography will be ready for use, but it is safe to say that it will be quito a long time even before the State Printer com mences work on it. There will be in all thirty-three en gravings in the book (not including maps), and they will differ greatly in de sign from those in other geographies. On one page there will bo lour designs showing the difference in the strength of the light furnished by a candle, a coal oil lamp, a gas-jet aud an electric light. 'I his will illustrate the progress of science and the growth of inventive genius in the world. Accurate engravings of Sutter's Port and the old mill at Coloma, where gold was discovered, will adorn one of the pages of the book. An entire page will be taken up in bowing the wonderful progress in in vention for cooking purposes. The lirst | cut shows the old-fashioned style of cook ing by suspending an iron kettle from the center of three upright sticks joined At the top: the second shows the brick oven and fireplace; the third is a cut ofa stove, and tlie fourth an engraving of the modern range, with its appliances. <»ne unique design shows a blank space m the center of tlie page shaped like ttie map ol .North America, and surrounding this are engravings SO placed as to show tlie natural pr ducts of the soil in the different sections ofthe continent, and the temperature ofthe regions. Tiie methods Of transportation by land in modern and primitive times are shown in another place. The Arabs are seen on tie-desert with their camels loaded with freight: an American party crossing tbe plains by wagon-train is port raved; then there are pack animals climbing the winding* road up the mountain side; next, the stage coach, and Unally the complete railroad train of the present \ day. A Greek church at Sitka, and an Indian ! hut and a grave in the same region are shown in small cuts. The Calilornia Big Tie s are pictured, and also the primitive and modern dwell ings. The advancement in style is illus trated by ■ comparison of'the. olden American and African hut with the man sions ol tiie present day. The interior of a bank is shown, illus trating tlie methods of transacting eom | mercial business. There are also engravings ot types of the different races; the date and fan palm trees; a milkmaid in Holland costume; the city of Rotterdam; the town of Ham merfest (the most northern town in Eu rope); Moscow in Russia; tiie most north ern cape in Europe, and several other interesting geographical features. Twenty-three ofthe engravings have been finished, but it will take almost six months of hard work to complete the re maining ten. -*- THE SWIMMING BATHS. Work "Will bo Commenced This Morning. The work of erecting the Sacramento Swimming Baths, at Twenty-first and O streets, will be commenced this morning. The Hoard of Directors held a meeting last evening. Mr. Renfro, to whom the contract was iirst awarded, declined to enter into the contract, there being some ! misunderstanding In regard to its terms, the hoard asking a bond for the comple tion of tiie work at the time specified in Mr. I ten fro's bid, and exacting a penalty for every day after that date. The board then took up the bids ofthe Other contractors. Thomas McCaffrey had offered to have the baths completed , on August 15th for |10_508,and Silas Carle \ ottered to have them completed on July 18th for f10,788. As there waa a differ ence of twenty-eight days in tiie time, and as the daily income of tiie baths at that season would be at its highest, the board concluded to award the contract to Mi as Carle. Some alterations were made in tlie plans, to give greater strength to the tank, and on account ofthe extra work and the fact that some time had been lost by the contract having been first awarded j to Mr. Renfro, tlie date fixed for the com pletion of the work was July liJd. Mr. Carle i.s to pay a penalty for every day after that date during which the baths re ! main uncompleted. DELAY FOR SMITH. His Demurrer to the Information Sus tained—A New One. J. D. Smith, the dive-keeper, charged with complicity in the assault and rob bery of Robert Allen, was before Superior Judge Van Fleet again yesterday. Hiram Johnson, Smith's attorney, de murred to the information liied against Smith, on the ground that the fads stated therein did not constitute a public offense, and that more than one crime was charged la It assault and robbery. The court intimated that the points were well taken, but allowed the Dis trict Attorney until tbo afternoon to cite authorities. In tiie afternoon Mr. Ryan argued that the information was good, but the court sustained the demurrer on the technical ground that the information says that Aden's property was "on his person" and not "in his possession," as the stat ute puts it. District Attorney Ryan immediately tiled a new information to coincide with the views of the court, though the pre vious form had been in vogue for years past, and Smith was given until to-day in which to plead. * POLICE COURT. Much Time Consumed by a Qnarrel Between Three Women. J. Ruedy, proprietor ofthe Hotel Rhein, was triod in the Police Court yesterday on a charge of disturbing the peace of A. J. Kuhl, a collector for James G. Davis. The testimony showed that Kuhl went to Ruody's place to collect a bill. A dispute arose, and Ruedy applied to the collector several opprobrious epithets. The de fendant was adjudged guilty and fined $10. In the case of S. E. Carrington, charged With violating the health ordinance by leaving refuse matter in the alley in the rear of his residence ho admitted that he had done so, but said he was not aware of the real provisions of the ordinance until arrested by Mr. Starr. Mr. bstarr informed the court that the objectionable matter bad been removed, , and it was not tho disposition of the i 1! ealth Oliicer to have the defendant pun- I ished. Judge Cravens dismissed the ease. A neighborhood quarrel, in which Mrs. Berhle, Mrs. Lena Brown and Henry \\ einsheimer figured, was ventilated, and the court found all three defendants gin Ity. Mrs. Brown was the lirst ar rested, and she tiled counter-charges against the other two. About two hours was consumed in listening to the testi mony. The disturbance happened on Eighth street, between X and L. The charge of battery against Pete Erie was dismissed. George and Joe Kelley, the boys ar rested for larceny, wero allowed* to go after receiving a severe lecture from the court, in which he warned them not to be caught in trouble again. EL E. Burke, charged with assault, had his case continued until Saturday. Julius Wohl, the party whom Burke as saulted, is not yet able to a*ppear in court on account of his injuries. CONDITION OF THE VICTIMS. Mamie Frates Appears Better—Julius Wohl Is Dangerously Hurt. There seems to be some ground on which to build a hope that Mamie Frates, the victim of John Perry's pistol, may recover. She was feeling quite bright yes terday, but the doctors do not know where lies the bullet that entered her skull, and therefore cannot toll how dan gerously she is wounded. Julius Wohl, the car-driver who was so brutalfly assaulted by E. F. Burke on Sunday, was not able to leave his room yesterday to testify against his assailant. He complains of terrible pains in his head, and there ii no telling but that his Injury may yet take a fatal turn. The condition of Robert Allen, who was hammered into insensibility some weeks ago by Jack Haley. Gordon and other thugs, and then robbed, is not much changed. Physically he is gaining strength, but mentally his progress to ward recovery is very slow. It takes very little to excite him, and he is fre quently out of his mind. GREATLY ENJOYED. A Large Gnthorhig at Last Night's Open-Air Concert. Despite the threatening appearance of tb« slgy and the sprinkle of rain that fell, there was a large throng of people at the open-air concert at the Plaza last even ing. The Hussar Band furnished the music, and the numbers rendered re elected credit on the ability of the band. They were listened to with great pleasure by those who attended. The next concert will take place on Sunday, and will also be bythe Hussar Band, if arrangements can" be m: . in time, .and the Capitol Commissioners consent to allow the committee the use; of the grounds, the concert will be given in Capitol Park, Otherwise the Plaza will be the place. The "Horribles." A meeting was held last evening, at the otiiee of Dr. Shaw, for tho purpose of arranging for a "Horrible" parade on the Fourth of July. Dr.ShaW called the meeting to order, and briefly stated its object. The following officers were elected: W. B. Hamilton. President; .1. E. Mayo" Vice-President; .tos. Hill, Secretary; Fi nance Committee. Peter Menken J Bcroggs, J. E. Mayo, K. E. Robbins, Frank W oodson, T. Dittmar, John Miller ana .Lie Klein. No programme was outlined, but those inU rested will hold another meeting in a few days to determine some line of actio)*. Farrell McMorry's Estate. Th.c will of the late Farrell MoMorry, formerly of this city, has been filed for probate in San Francisoo. All the prop erty i.s declared to be community estate, and is left to the widow, at her death to go the daughter and her children. There is, however, provision for the payment every month-of $50 to William McMorry, brother of testator, during his natural life. Testator also directs that his tomb shad cost JfIDOO. The value of the estate is not given, but it is said to be a large figure. Vance Back Again. D. M. Vance, who with lawyer Car penter of Stockton was sentenced to 200 days' imprisonment in the County Jail of this county some months ago by Judge Catlin, was taken into custody by Sheriff Stanley at Stockton yesterday and brought back to this city to serve out his unexpired term. Lawyer Carpenter tried to stop the Sheriff and his prisoner by means of habeas corpus, but the court dismissed the writ. Freeman Wants a Defender. The ease of G. C. Freeman, charged with setting liquor to a girl named Lillie Thompson, waa continued in the Police Court yesterday until the 15th. Tlie de fendant demanded a jury trial, and asked for the postponement In order to engage counsel. Jessie Waters' Alleged Betrayer. Word was received at the police station yesterday that Andrew Foote. the young man accused by Jessie Waters of seduc tion, had been arrested at Nieolaus. He will be brought to this city. i>n:i).

To be a good comfortable fit it is not necessary that they be too large; in fact they should be snug in places, and one place in particular— the instep. A snu^ness there allows no slipping, and gives a trim and neat appearance. A great many in buying Shoes for children get a wider when a longer shoe is really needed. Most children need a half size larger nearly every time they get a pair of Shoes. The foot grows in length, as we all know, and the Shoes arc a little wider for every half size in length. We have devoted a great deal of care to attain per fection in our lasts for Children's Shoes, because we realize that it is to our interest to sell good-fitting as well as good-wearing Shoes.
