DRAGON-FLY AND MOSQUITO.
Dr. R. H. Lamborn, Ph. D., has been
laboring for some years in a quiet but per
—stent way, to discover some means of
mitigating the sufferings of mankind ihat
have their beginning and their life in the
assault of that pestiferous insect, the mos
quito. The work of the scienlist has been
crystallized at last into hook form, and in
the volume he tells us where these insects
originate, how long they live and how we
may best resist their attacks.
But after all, the doctor's book will
prove somewhat disappointing to the un
scientific reader.' He arrives at the con
clusion that the best way to fight the mos
quito is to assail him in his breeding
places, and by spraying these with coal oil
and other fluids destroy him before be can
send out his amazons to annoy man; for
we learn anew from the doctor's essay that
it is the female mosquito alone of which
men have to complain.
Draining wet places, spraying the
edges of marsh lands, flushing the
waters where the insect loves to set
up his home, encouraging the propagation
of certain classes of birds and giving
attention to general sanitary laws, will
greatly tend to the extirmination of the
mosquito. But it will strike most people
that some of these remedies are without
the reach of the mass of the people. What
good will it do, for instance, to spend all
one's Mibetance sowing petroleum on
marshes, river banks and ponds, if one's
neighbor, a half mile away, neglects a
single breeding place no more than six or
eight feet across, perhaps, whence may
come mosquitoes in sumcient number to
keep a hundred thousand hands busy dab
bing this way and that to prevent the pre
sentation of bills? It is somewhat con
soling, of course, to know that the male
mosquito does honor to his sex by attend
ing strictly to his own business, and ignor
ing the existence of mankind. For, as has
been said, he leaves all the annoyance
part of mosquito duty to his sisters, his
female cousins and his aunts, and thus far
they have proved equal to the task nature
has imposed upon them.
The doctor a year or more ago offered
prizes for competition by entomologists in
essays upon the mosquito i>est and the
best methods of destroying it. His hope
was that entomologists would discover the
dragon-fly to be so much the enemy of the
mosquito that the former could be culti
vated for the pur]-ose of wreaking ven
geance for man upon the universal enemy.
The first prize was won by Mrs. Eugene
Aaron of Philadelphia for an essay on "The
Dipterous Enemies of Man;" thesecond was
divided between Archibald C. Weeks and
William Beutenmuller of New York, for
papers on "The Utility of Dragon-flies as
Destroyers of Mosquitoes." These papers
are embodied in Dr. Lamborn's interesting
lx>ok. But none of them give any hope to
the belief that had been entertained that
the dragon-fly can be counted upon as a
specific for the mosquito nuisance. That
they do assail and consume countless mill
ions of the pests is true ; but tkey come at
odd times, are erratic in their work, go as
quickly as they come, and resist effort to
cultivate them and increase their number.
So, then, we must continue to fight the
—tlicida* in the old-fashioned way, with
screens and pillows and towels, and the
beating of our own cheeks and the rough
boxing of our own ears.
Mr. Beutenmuller, who is of the New
York Museum of Natural History, devotes
his paper mainly to the dragon-fly remedy
for the nio:-quito, but doubt., if man can
ever cultivate these mosquito-hawks, as
the Indians term them, so as to make
them efficient servitors. It is something
worth while knowing, however, that but
for the service the courageous devil's
darning-needle, as the dragon-fly is some
times called, life would not be worth liv
ing, for mosquitoes would take man captive
in the fullest sense of the word. Mr.
Beutenmuller does show, however, that
about hotels and residences if lanterns are
arranged to attract mosquitoes, and pan.-,
of kerosene and other mixtures are then
set out, the pests can lie immensely reduced
in number. A very little petroleum, also,
on the stagnant waters in which the mos
quitoes breed, will spread out in a great,
broad, thin film and destroy the larva-.
— one of the writers in Dr. Lamborn's
book lind any good in the mosquito. He
appears to defy the supposed laws of na
ture and to exist for evil deeds only. Not
so the house-fly, the flesh-fly, the blow-fly,
and their thousand allies, for they labor
incessantly purifying the air, and "avert
ing the summer brood of cholera, diph
theria, and typhoid fevers." To these man
is indebted: to the _osquilo he owes only
the duty of labor to exterminate the en
tire family of the pest.
Has it come to this, that Sacramento is
Buckleyized? Have we reached that
stage in municipal government when no
public improvement can go forward until
somebody is "seen?'' lt certainly looks
that way. If the implied venality is in
justire. the "solid two" in the Board of
Trustees have no one to blanie but them
selves. Their action is precisely such as
would be pursued by j^ten who were pur
chasable. When nienjj|;ut themselves in
•in equivocal attitude —id cannot or will
not give some understandable reason for
it. they invite, nay, they solicit, the sus
picion that their motives are vicious. If
Trustees Wolf and McLaughlin had re
lentles.- opposition to the electric road,
why did they not vote "no" and make an
en 1 of it?
Tiie slums have again spewed upon the !
stage and the drama again hides its shamed
head. John L. Sullivan has made his
debut before the footlights as au "actor;"
Mr-. Carter of Chicago infamy has
made her bow in a histrionic character.
Alas, the degeneracy of the stage. Where
shall we look for a fearless knight to
scourge these usurpers from the boards,
and vindicate the honor of the drama by
upsetting the tables of the money changers.
Surely not among the managerial class, for
by reason of the greed of that order of men
the stage is disgraced by the woman beater
Sullivan and the shameless Carter.
Ol— of our Eastern contemporaries de
votes a whole page to presentation of rea
son-! wtiy a new White Mouse is needed.
It wa- not necessary to so elaborate a self
evident proposition. The National Ex
ecutive mansion is uot a suitable structure j
for the day. There should be a far more I
imposing and spacious residence for the '
President of the greatest liepublic. But j
we protest against the propo. .d destruction |
of the present White House. It should lie
preserved for the historic memories with
which it is associated. If a Dew building ■
is erected, let it adjoin or embrace the old
one, which may well be enshrined in the.
more modern dwelling. Some years ago
architects pointed out how a new residence
could be constructed in front of, and ad
joining the present White House, which
would form a part of the new building,
and yet all its distinctive characteristics
be preserved. Certainly a new White
House is needed, but it should be the ver
dict of the Americau people that the man
sion that has been so knit into our na
tional history shall stand until time for
bids, and the wasting years resolve it into
dust.
A not inappropriate cognomen for our
Second Trustee would be "Lay-over Mc-
Laughlin." His chief aim in municipal
legislation appears to be to have all mat
ters and things "lie over" one week, and
then again another, and another. There
are people who do say, and their name is
legion, that this constant solicitude to
"lay over" is backed by the hope that
"something will turn up."
CHANCE HELD TO ANSWER.
Justice Devlne Thinks He Intended to
Kill Nevis.
The preliminary examination of Silas
Chance on a charge of assault with intent
to commit murder, made upon A. C. Nevis
on Thursday last, was concluded before
Justice of the Peace Devine yesterday.
Chance took the witness stand iv his own
behalf and testified that he went io Nevis'
house, in his capacity of Road Overseer,
and demanded of Nevis that he pay his
road tax. Nevis refused, oecause Chance
owed him some money. Chance said he
then attempted to take Nevis' wagon, as
he believed be had a right to do under the
law, and Nevis interfered. He warned
Nevis off, and the latter ran into his house,
but reappeared shortly with a shot-gun,
which he flourished about menacingly.
Chance said he believed Nevis was going
to shoot, and drew his revolver and fired
in self defense. He admitted tbat he had
had trouble with Nevis the day before,
but explained that Nevis had abused his
(Cbauce's) wife.
The case was then argued by Grove L.
Johnson and Assistant District Attorney
IJruner for the prosecution, and W. A. Gett,
Jr., for the defense, after which the matter
was submitted to the Court.
Judge Devine, in passing judgment, said
the testimony in the case had been rather
conflicting. "The testimony of the prose
cuting witness and bis wife," said he, "estab
lishes a clear case against Chance. The
defense, tbat Chance was justified in shoot
ing, is somewhat supported by the testi
mony of Chance and other witnesses for
the defense, but not sufficiently so to satisfy
the Court. lam satisfied that the defend
ant had some motive other than the collec
tion of road tax in going to Nevis' house.
I think the road tax matter was only a pre
text for having some trouble, and I am in
clined to think that he fired his revolver
not in self-defense. He allowed his feelings
aud anger toward Nevis to get the better of
him. I think it is a proper case for a jury
to pass upon. The order of the Court is
that the defendant be held to answer the
charge of assault to commit murder before
the Superior Court, and bail will be fixed
at $1,500."
STARTSMAN AGAIN.
He is Under Arrest Mow oa a Charge of
Criminal Assault.
E. J. Startsman, the man who caused the
Chinese uprising several weeks ago on the
Cosumnes, in which a man named Pierson
lost his life, was arrested yesterday after
noon on a charge of criminal assault.
Sta—smaii, it appears, has been in the
habit of putting up his team at Scriver's
stable, and for several days past was ac
companied by a little girl about ten years
of a£e. On Monday evening he left her at
the stable, saying be would return soon.
He did not come back, however, and Mr.
Scriver procured accommodations tor the
child at a lodging-house. Startsman was
not seen again and Mr. Scriver sent word
to the police to come and get the child.
Chief Drew sent an officer for the little
girl, and when she arrived at the police
station, questioned her closely as to what
she bad beeu doing. She was reticent at
firs!, but finally consented to tell what she
knew.
She said ber name was Florence Butterfield
and that ber father was night foreman at
Caiey's car stables. On Wednesday last
she met Startsman on the Yolo bridge, and
upon his invitation took a ride on his
wagon. He took her out to Brighton,
where he bought a load of grapes and re
turned to tbis city. That night he took her
to a lodging house on Fifth street. Sbe re
mained in his company for several days
thereafter, and they stopped at different
lodging houses. He told people that she
was his niece. Several times during the
time she was in his company, she said, he
assaulted her, aud told her tbat if she ever
told any one of it "she would be hung."
The child underwent a medical examina
tion last eveDiog, and the report of the
physicians to some extent substantiates her
story
ritartsman, after his arrest, denied all
knowledge of the child, but when con
fronted with evidence wilted and admitted
that be had beeu in her company. He
persisted, however, that he bad not as
saulted her.
FARMER GORE'S ASSAILANTS.
Six of the Itrutal Hoodlums are Ilehii.il
the liars.
The readers of the Kecord-Union are
familiar with the details of the brutal as
sault made by a gang of hoodlums last
Sunday night upon a farmer named Gore,
who was coming to town with a load of
watermelons. Gore is still in a precari
ous condition from the effects of the
wound he received on his head from a
cobble-stone which was hurled at him
b.; one of the crowd.
The police started in immediately to
hunt down the brutal assailants of Gore,
and did excellent work. The gang was
soon located, and yesterday afternoon
three of them were arrested.
Last uight three more were brought in,
making six in all. Only two or three more
are wanted, and they" will probably be
behind (he bars by to-night. The names
ot those arrested yesterday and last night
are John and Thomas Morgan, Frank
Green. John Roderick, and two others
named McKeet and Shields. They are all
charged with battery.

AMUSEMENTS.
i — i
Daniel Frc—man's production of Mark
Twain's "Prince and Pauper," with Elsie
Leslie and the New York cast, will be put
upon the stage at the Metropolitan Theater
for the first time on Fiiday night. The
piece may be termed a prose idyl. As a
domestic story there is none prettier in the
English language, lis characters stand
out vividly like figures in a painting and
its scenes are described with a realism
rarely equaled. Tenderness, pathos and
most exquisite humor permeate it. The
story is beautifully told by its gifted
author, and is said to be enhanced by Mrs.
Abby Sage Richardson's dramatization of
it. Mark Twain's popularity wiii give the
event additional zest, particularly as "The
Prince and the Pauper" is tbe first of his
stories, turned to stage purposes, which
seems to have achieved both critical and
popular favor.
ELSIE LESLIE, AS THE PBINCE.
| One of the chief attractions of tbe per
formance will, however, undoubtedly
prove to be Elsie Leslie, a little Miss not
yet 11 years old, who impersonates the
dual role of Tom Canty, Ihe pauper, and
Edward, Prince of Wales, Mark Twain's
youthful heroes. Notwithstanding her
tender years, it is safe to say that sbe is
almost as well known as the most talked
about stellar luminaries, and she has a
drawing power which many of them might
be glad to possess. Miss Leslie has been
on the stage only fcur seasons, but in that
time has made such perceptible progress
in the line of true art that critics have
ceased to speak of her as a precocious
youngster and refer to her instead as an
artist. Miss Leslie was at that time, as sbe
is now, under the direction of Daniel
Frohmau, the judicious manager of the
Lyceum Theater, New York, the gentle
man having been the first to recognize and
value her unusually rare ability. Mr.
Frohmau relates that she is the only child
actress he ever met with for whom a
"coaching" process was unnecessary.
Mrs. Burnett saw the child in "Editha's
Burglar," and immediately began tbe stage
version of "Little Lord Faunlleroy," it be
ing understood that Els^e should personate
the role of Cedric. Aa soon as the detail:*
were settled the authoress went to work on
her dramatization, and the youthful actress
studied the story.
The furor which the little one made in
"Fauntlerov," and which was in a great
measure the means of tiding the play to its
phenomenal popularity, is still remem
bered. She played the part of Cedric for
eight consecutive mouths at tht Broadway
Theater, New York, and then returned to
Mr. Frohman's direction. He decided to
procure a piay for Elsie, and Mark Twain's
"Prince and Pauper 1' was thought of.
The novelty of Elsie's playing the dual
role of Prince and Pauper will be one of
the special attractions of the piece. There
are four acts and six scenes in the play,
and about sixty people will take part in the
production. The scenery is to be especially
effective. The costumes will be faithful
copies of those of tbe period. Elsie will be
compelled to make frequent and quick
changes of costume, and, as can be seen,
the part will be more difficult than any she
has yet attempted. Tbe play had last sea
son a ten weeks' run in New York, fonr in
Philadelphia and tbree in Chicago.
The box-sheet for "The Prince and
Pauper" will be open on Thursday.
John Slater gave another of his singular
entertainments at Pythian Castle last night
and drew such a crowd that many of his
auditors were unable to get seats and were
compelled to stand. They were so deeply
interested, however, that none of them left
the hall until the eccentric medium had
left the platform. Mr. Slater was very suc
cessful again last night and made some
very decided hits. In fact, with one ex
ception, every "test" was admitted to be
correct. The more Slater is seen the
greater mystery surrounds him. Persons
who were given "testa" last night ac
knowledged that they had never seen the
man before and that he could not possibly
have had any knowledge of them before
and yet told them things which they did
not believe were known to any person liv
ing. Before closing he invited those who
attended to-night to brine photographs and
promised snch "tests" as have never been
seen bffore. To-night will be his last ap
pearance here.
A fair sized audience witnessed the last
appearance in this city of Nellie McHenry,
as "Lady Peggy," last night at the Metro
politan and tbe company left for Salt Lake

Bath Towels.
Extra values in Turkish Bath Towels rule the
stock. We hold up a few to show what we are
doing.
Our 20-cent Towel is 19x38 inches —an unusual
size for that price. A glance at them shows their
worth. They sell at sight.
A little finer, a little smoother, 2*5 cents. We
put it against any two-bit Towel in the city for
both looks and quality.
Our 50-cent Towel is a wonder in its way. The
nape is close and deep—neither too harsh nor too
smooth. Just right to bring the blood to the sur
face after a morning dip. Size, 28x58 inches.
To Housekeepers.
We were never so well prepared to serve our

50-Cent Henriettas.
The quality in this splendid Cloth continues to
improve, and a better fabric for the price is out of
the question. It is in every way reliable. The
weave is regular and close, the finish is uniform
and thorough, lt gives satisfaction in every re
spect. We can furnish these shades ■

posit Vault has never beeu rocceaatolly
attacked by burglars, and cannot be, as the
time required is measurrd by days.
Their fireproof qualiies have also beeu so
thoroughly tested as to be beyond question—the
most recent instance being tlu* Seattle tire of
June. 1889. Our Vaults rank among the tiuost
in the country, and have all the latent devices
for security, including chronometer locks and a
thickness of chilled steel that would de y the
best experts for weeks. They are iurtlier pro
fa itnl by the foundation walls and tirst iKx>r of
our building, without exception tho strongest in
the city. '1 lv* payment of a small annual rental
sevres to your prota'rty the protection of these
vaults, which cost mauy thousands of dollars
to build.
The rent ofa safe in our Vaults is les< thnti
the interest on an ordinary- "tire-proof" safe,
and it includes constant supervision by trust
worthy watchmen.
Your property is not at the mercy of any oue
getting your key or combination. You can
limit the access as you please, and we admit
only those authorized on our books.
You can nave access to your safe as many
times a day as you please, without asking a
favor, as when you leave a "tin box" with
your banker.
If a service is worth anything, it should bo
paid for. A gratuitous custodian is only re
quired to take ordinakv care of property in
trusted to him: the law compels us to take the
VERY REST CARE.
Wheu jou have a recognized place for keep
ing important papers they do not get scattered
about and mislaid, and in the event of an acci
dent your lamily knows where to find them.
Insurance policies should not be kept with
the property insured. If lett In our Vaults,
they can be got whenever needed.
Coupon bonds, when once stolen or destroyed,
cannot be replaced, as the law protects the in
nocent holder, and the loss of registered secur
ities or stocks entails much trouble and expense.
Vie keep them absolutely safe.
A safe in our Vaults enables a man in active
business to keep his private aftais distinct; to a
professional man it takes the place of an oflice.
Ladies find our safes specially convenient for
keeping their papers and iewelry, which can '^
withdrawn at a moment's notice when needeor
Families breaking up housekeeping, or trav
eling, can store their silverware and valuables
with os at small expense and with perfect
security.
There is no member of the community wbo
cannot find some use for our safes which is
wrrth more to him than the cost, il only for the
peace of mind secured.
