All communications must be accom panied by the name of the writer, not for pub lication, unless so desired, but as a guarantee of food faith.—Eds.] . About a dozen communications were received at this oflice yesterday on the subject of open-air concerts at Capitol Park, some of them couched in very intemperate language. We have decided not to print any of them, as we believe the public lias had enough of the contro versy. We desire to call the attention of several correspondents to the fact that while we are disposed to give considera ble liberty in "Everybody's Column," to writers upon matters of public Interest, we will not permit the department to be made the vehicle of personal abuse. — Kvs. An Appeal for Working Women. Eds. Record-Union. The census shows that in 1870 13 per cent, of all the children of the United States between 10 and L 6 years ot age were employed in the industries. In 1&S0 they had in creased to 17 per cent., and to-day it is not less than 20 per cent. Over one mil lion of our infants pressed into service. In ISSO 37 per cent, so employed were girls. To-day we have about 500,000 of the future matrons within the factory walls. Seventeen per cent, of all the women of the United States wore em ployed in the industries between 1870 and 1880. The largest increase has been girls between 10 and 15 years of age; the smallest increase was men between 10 ami 50 years of age, and yet there is one million idle men who would like to work but are denied a privilege of earning a living for their families. By the report of the California Bureau Of Labor 1 find that .513 women work ing at the best paid employment in San Francisco do not get enough for their labor to pay the actual cost of their living. of the 513 women but twenty-five saved any money, aud they were girls who lived at home. The total saving of the twenty-five was 12,985, while fifty re ceived aid to the amount of £4,<>st.i. which would leave the amount paid the 513 womensl,7ol less than the actual cost of living. investigation showed that SO per cent, of the fallen women were driven to a life of shame by want. They stated that they had worked night after night to keep body and soul together. The truthfulness of their statement is borne out by the following advertise ment: "Plain sewing, 50 oenta a day.* 1 A lady interested in the. work of the bureau dressed herself as a -working-girl and went to work for a firm who kept a standing advertisement in the papers for apprentices. Here is her own stau niriit: "1 went to work January 24th, worked seven and one-half days. Agreement was to servo one week as apprentice. He would not guarantee any bet wages, but said he would give good wages. I re ceived fifty cents for work done. At the end of the first week he said ho would give £2, and after that would raise the amount fifty cents if I continued to im prove. The first week there were twelve t;irl.s working on same conditions, only two earning wages, one ran a machine and got |3 50 a week, the other got zi 50 a week; the rest received nothing; worked from 7a. m. to or. M. very hard, one hour f«.r lunch. He advertised in s.m Francisco papers to get new girls as apprentices on coats as operators and finishers; steady work and good pay. He would promise 96 to $15 a week after girls knew the business; would aaylthey could learn the business in one month. Between twenty-five and thirty girls were taken in during my time, only two remaining more than a week. His main object was to induce girls to come and work for him for nothing. When it came to the time for receiving wages be would otter them such small wages they could not accept it, and when wages were due instead of paying he would tell them to call around again as he had no money about him." The paying-while-learning-apprentice- Bhip advertisement is often resorted to by the unprincipled "sweater"' who is only on the look-out for cheap labor. With this class the working girl is always an apprentice, and her wages will re main £1 to $2 a Meek as long as the "sweater" can keep her at that figure. The "sweater" is the middleman who contracts with the large manufacturer for quantities of work and gets it done by poor people at the lowest possible cost, making big prolits without using any capital, skill or labor of his own. It Would be a good thing if thu law could reach these sooundrels who speculate on t!i" poverty and helplessness of these .iig girls. Some ol the large linns protest that they know nothing about the ''sweating" practices, but when they find "sweaters" contracting to do their work for less than living rates, surely they must know that tiie poor girls who do the work are not (airly paid. The only way to reach the "sweater" is for every consumertodemand union goods, [fevery man and woman would refuse to purchase any goods unless they had the union ia: «-l attached, these poor girls would soon have a union and would be protected. It would not cost the consumer any more for the goods, but would simply remove the "sweater," and thesoonersuch things are blotted out of our industrial system the better for all concerned. Jt is a well-known fact that the Trades Union kus been the means Of elevating the American workmen to the present high standard of skill ami morality. The fact Of their meeting together and exchang ing ideas improves their intellectual faculties and with an Increase cf in gencethe morals are bound to improve, bo it would be with these poor working girls |f they had a union; they would meet together, exchange ideas, have literary and musical exercises and enjoy the society of each other: have protection, i be above temptation, and the next •-•ration would be free from the moral disease festering in the slums of all our large eit. This i* a practical method of ameliorat ing the present bad condition of society, and costs nothing but the trouble to per form your duty to your fellow-man and woman, stop and think a moment on the sui j".t. May not your own daughter or sister be thrown |nto the great social maelstrom to be devoured by t lie pangs of hunger, or, perhaps, a life of shame. No one can read futurity. Fire, Hood, finan cial panics, loss in stocks have in the ' thrown many into the Labor 4 market us wage-slaves. Your turn may be next, . if not you will have the comfort of knowing you were no: a party to the robbery of these poor girls. Sole! ope ap peal to you to do your duty to your fel low -men and women, and demand goods With the union label attached. Sacramento, June 10, 1891. ••Niiuey Nobody" Talks Sense. Ur.i <>un-l'Nio.\ : This lnornin' after I got my man off to his work I set dow nto read the paper. I Been in amm Ite that 1 didn't know nobody that was married, or born, or dead, so I looked about to find what I could find, and my eyes fell onto the words in big letters, the l>.'»rd of health backs up doctor Nichols in his < 'rusade. l read that piece through, and sex I to myself, "l guess i better Stop readin 1 and go oat in My back-yard asd look about.'' Well, I went out and ...l around my place some and I got to thinkin', and sez l to myself, "l won't do a single thing about cleanin' up. I'll go in the house and I'll write a piece and apeak out my mind. As like as not I can't get it put into no paper, for,'* sea l to mysi If. "the papers are mighty queer; if they say a good thing they are pretty ■are to back out the next line." I've bean readin' some more in the !,"i>er since 1 came in out of my back yard. Inoneofthepeices which 1 read jt says s:>n:e thirty.* which sound pretty eooa and 1 said to myself, "That's first rate " [The words are too big for s plain woman like me to write down.] I guess most everybody read 'em, but l declare the rest of the piece mUBt have been writ by somebody else-'twas so different. The liieanin' of the peice was that it isn't m. »wd idea to keep folks from drinkiujj I j whiskey if thoy wants it, but it is a good I idea to make them as sells it pay a good ( price to the city lor sellin' it. It says in j one place In thu peice, becus' licker • make- such big expenses for the city to i pay, the city had ought to charge them as sells the licker a great big prico, for it cost the city a lot of money to punish the men who get drunk and rob and kill folks. The peice says proibishun isn't before the people. Well, I didn't come in out of my backyard to writo a peice about what isn't before the people. Cleanin' up is before the people, and what I've got to say in my peice is, / ain't gain' to do it. I'd be mighty glad of a chance to sny my peice in court; writin' it is a hard jod for me. Last year I -cleaned up, and I paid a lot of money to do it, but J ain't again' to do anuther thing while that sewer which was built by the city to carry off the stuff from three Brewery*, and 1 Winery goes right by my house and smells so that I can't stay in my back yard long enough to clean it up without getting a sore throat. Last year we was sick a lot to our house (and wo haven't got well yet), and the doctor said "you must havo your cesspool cleaned out," and said 1 to him, "we paid 15 dollars not much more'n a year ago to have 'em cleaned (two of'em)." But we done as he said, and it cost us twenty dollars to have the .Sacramento River pumped out of our cesspool. Well, 'twixt doctors' bills and medi cine bills (we take quinine to our house) we've had a lot oi expenses this year. We tried to connect (they call it) with the sewer (we got kinder sick pumpin' out the river); it's right handy to us but we couldn't, the sewer wan'tniade for that kind of work, 'twas only made for back water they said. I didn't understand eggsaetlv what they meant, and I've won dered what made it smell so disagreabul, but this mornin' 1 found out by the paper what backwater is, and I ain't goin' to clean up no more while that kind of water goes past my house. I'm a proibishunist. 1 believe in ekal rights. 1 helped to pay the money that built that sewer that carried off that back water from '•'> Breweries and 1 Winery. I help pay the big expense that the peice in the paper told about this mornin'. I gave my man 40 dolars the other day to pay taxes with. I saved it by soiling eggs. They's been high, this winter I done well with Yin. I got my man when he come in to din ner to write out what the paper said about the expenses licker cost the city, here it is in eggsactiy the right words: "Since liquor is chargeable with so large a proportion of municipal burdens it is simply fair that it should bear a due proportion of the cost." What 1 want to ask is. Who is goin' to bear the rest of the cost? Seems to me my egg money helped. If it did, I think I've got a right to have my peice put in | the paper.

The Bee evidently forgets that in the principal cities of this country (Sacra | mento included) the market price of votes ranges from%idrink of bad whisky to si apiece, it is a lamentable i: k -r that we are in imminent peril of losing nationality ; amidst ac raglomerated mas.-, of human ity that is recruited and reinforced year by year from the servile classes of mon archical Europe, and who come here — not because they like American institutions — but American dollars.

America for Americans. Sacramento, June lv, 18U1. — Srwago Effluent. Eds. Rbcobd-Unxoh: Have tho kind ness to «?tatc- what degree of purity the sewage of a city attains by tiie application of the chemicals in ordinary use for this purpose. Would it be in a suitable con ■ uition for use in irrigation? and much oblige A RRADEB. Sacramento, June 10, 1891. Wo are not prepared to say that the etHuent would be useful for irrigation. It would depend upon the chemicals \iseil and the quantity, and these vary according to systems. Lime, however, is a chief ingredient in all systems. At Worcester lime and alumina are the only chemicals introduced. Bat the sewage of 1 that town contains a great amount oriron j salts. Salts of iron are decomposed by alkaline substances, and insoluble by j drate of iron being formed which attracts to itself the suspended matter in the sew age and carries it to the bottom. In puri fication by precipitation, iron salts are commonly added after the sewage has been made decidedly alkaline by the addi tion of lime, so the presence of iron salts in sewage at Worcester is an ad vantage. To change the acid character of sewage 900 pounds of quick lime is added to every 1,000,000 gallons. This forms calcium sulphate. The lime is put in in the form 01 milk of lime, fifteen grains per gallon as a maximum; sometimes, but half this amount is used. Sometimes also, lime water is employed as cheaper than milk of lime. Mansergh, the great itary engineer, uses four or five grains of lime and one grain of proto-sulphate of iron per gallon, and In hot weather j adds a very little manganalp of soda and sulphuric acid to ad as a deodorant. Tho effluent at Worcester is as dear as spring water. Whether it would serve good purposes upon producing land we are not advised, bat our correspondent, knowing what chemicals enter into the sewage to obtain the clear effluent, can judge of the effect of such water upon growth front the soil. There is no record in our possession of.tho ellluent being i lor irrigation.—Lds. M How-wow-wow-wow!" Kiis. Km okj.-Lmon : The doctors of the city appear to bo various-minded In regard to sanitary matters. I can re member when .some of those who are now decry ing and belittling Health *>i ii - cer Nichols'efforts to have the ci;y de cently cleaned up were members of local and State Boards Of Health; and I re member, too, that they were periodically flooding the State with circulars admon ishing the people to clean up their premi s. -an.l their towns, or the cholera or some other epidemic would sweep them oil" the face of the earth. What more than this has Dr. Nichols done. 1 would like to know? And yet a number of these doctors are jumping on him with both feet. A great, great many years ago Artemus W'.nt mmmcd up courage one day to go batch. The ministers subject was, "When Doctors Disagree, Who Shall De cide?" lie repeated tuis deliberately and with owlish solemnity, and hesitated as if waiting for an answer. Artemus arose in his place and Raid (you know Artemus stuttered): "L-l --lea-ve it t-t-to a ni-maii of sense." Consistency. A Tow Figures. Em. BaooßD-Uvxov: Dr. Cluness is reported as saying that there should be an ordinance requiring every one to empty the cesspool or vault on his prem ises at least once a year. Right you are, doctor. Now then, there are 780 blocks in the city. Thoy contain 6,240 eighty loot lots 100 feet deop. If we assume one half are Occupied 1, we are away within the minimum. Many lots are * subdivided Into four—that is, two forty-foot lots on the street and two on the alley, and some aro cut into twenty-foot tracts. If we say. however, that every other eighty-foot lot has one cesspool and ono vault it will be a perfectly Cur figure, and that every other eighty-foot lot is unoccupied, and wo will be tv bolow the truth, for we SACRAMENTO DAILY RECORD-T^OTON,^IPAt JWE f£iBM.~SIX PAGES. have 6,009 groups of five poisons each in the city. This gives us then 3.120 vaults and 3,120 cesspools, or 8.210 filth recepta cles in all. ]Sot one can be emptied for less than §10—most of them cost 320 for cleansing and some $40. Let us|plaee tlio | averago cost at fIS a year. This gives us !|93,G00 a year, according to Dr. Cluness. That will pay interest at 5 per cent, on more than §1,800,000. That would estab lish a sewerage system complete for San Fraucisco. Figures. What Shall Ho Do "With It? Eds. Record-Union : It has been tho custom for years for residents to deposit the refuse from their barns in the alley and gardeners would remove it, usually every day. Must that practice now be stopped under the new health ordinance, and if so, what must citizens do with the refuse from barns? A Subscriber. BEAUTIFUL LAKE COMO. Something About the Glorious Land mark to bo Fllled In. There is a brilliant future ahead for ex- Deputy Coroner George Watson. •Since retiring from political life he has entered the literary world. His maiden effort was a description of Lake Como, written expressly for an Eastern journal, and if this starter is any criterion as to the talent and imagination of tho young man. it will only be a short time when littler Haggard will have to take S back seat. Here is what George would till tho Easterners with: "Lake Como is a beautiful sheet of ] water in tho northwestern suburbs of I Sacraniento. In, on and around it are I gome of the most wondcrl'ulthines :>ni beings, which none but a Californian could think of or invent. Some of the ! most noteworthy aro tbe trained alle- j ! gators, turtles and crabs. The alienators are saddled, and upon their backs tourists can ride around the lake ami see tho various curious sights with mure safety than galloping over the plains on tho hurrieane-deek of an average California \ j mustang. The monster turtles are har j r.essed by twos to a canoe and can be i driven around tho lake as readily as can ! a pair of horses to a carriage over the ' grand driveways that surround the lake. I If you accidentally drop a ring, fan, | knife, or, in fact, any small article of value overboard, those ugly-looking I crabs tire ever ready to go to the bottom ■ (which in places is sixty fathoms deep) after it, or for a piece of BUgar, candy, fruit, 6r Other sweetmeats, ii you have | nothing of that kind a piece of tobacco, or \ a cigar-stump will do as well. "11* while out on the lake you want to send a message to the shore, you whistle as though calling a dog, and almost in stantly it is answered by the appearance ' of a beautiful white swan that will carry your note to any part of tiie shore that you may designate. Throughout the lake are distributed beautiful coral islands, with grottos that are enchanting, and you almost believe you are in fairy land. On the banks and shores are trees from all parts of the world and cd' nearly every known variety; and dowers! it is simply impossible to describe them. I There is not a variety known to man that 1 i^ not represented on the banks of Lake j Como. The water of tiie lake i.s ever ke;.t fresh by underground channels and ! connections with that most beautiful of ! all California's rivers, the Sacramento, which comes rolling majestically down ! from grand and glorious old Mount Shasta, the tame of whose mineral watt r J is known throughout tiie civilised world. and whose high crest is covered with a ! silvery mantle of snow the year round. "Jii.it I am leaving my subject far away, so will hasten back to the always lovely lake, upon whose banks my friends are anxiously awaiting me, as it t is growing dark, and we must start back I for the hotel. In the near future I will tell yon something about the people, their mode of living, and other curious and Interesting things concerning them, and also of the many other objects of interest and curiosity, that are as common to us as Californians as is the air which we : breathe." FOOLED AGAIN. I How* n Suburban Saloon-Keeper Was Cleverly Victimized. The keeper of the saloon at Twenty ninth and J streets has been the victim of several burglaries und robberies, but never was he so thoroughly exasperated as he was a couple of evenings ago, when he w;ts "played" in an unusually clever way. It was quito dark and two men had just driven up in a buggy. Evidently not caring to alight, they called to the Baloon keeper to bring them some cigars. Their order was filled, and then they wanted some beer. When the saloon man went in alter tho bubbles the two callers clucked to thoir horso and drove off at an easy jog. The liquor man heard the buggy moving oil", and dropping liis j mugs started aftor the young men at a sprinting gait, yelling, "Come back an' pay fer th' cigars,*'~at every jump, lie ran about two blocks when his wind gave out and be gave up the chase. "It was a contemptible bit of petty lar ceny," quoth the saloon man as he shuf fled hack toward the saloon puffing and j blowing at a great rate. Of course it was mean and contemptible. But the sa ! loon man's anger then was nothing corti l pared to what it was when he reached the saloon and discovered that while he j had been out chasing the miscreants Uie I Remainder of the gang had dropped into the place and carried off a dozen or more j bottles of whisky ami other articles. Sergeant Barwick's Weather Record. The Signal Service reports yesterday ! show tho rainfall to have been but .05 of !an inch, making for this season 15.51 inches, as against .'i3.SU iuches to July 1. 1890. The ideas, notions, recollections, etc., of some peoplo are too wonderful to con ; template. Some think that this is tho greatest storm that ever occurred in June. j The records show that June, 1575, had 1.10 I indies of rain; June, 1884, had 1.45 inches, ! which were the two wettest Juno months j in a record of forty years.
