THEIR LABORS OVER.
The School of Methods Closes Its
Session at Pacific Grove.
Borne More Able Papers Read by Chris
tian Women—Mrs. General Bidwell
Addresses the Assemblage.
Pacific Gbove, July 20.—The Tues
day morning session of the Women's
Christian Temperance Union School of
Methods opened with devotions, led by
Mrs. Peet. Mrs. Purvis of Modesto fol
lowed with a paper on "Narcotics," in
which she showed conclusively that
-while there is a law forbidding the sale of
tobacco to minors, that law is not suffi
cient, for if boys of eighteen can buy all
the cigarettes they desire, their younger
brothers will be liberally supplied.
Nothing but the entire abolition of the
cigarette will do away with this universal
curse, and cities and counties should pass
laws punishing the smoker under eigh
teen, as well as the man who sells to him.
Every community in our State is becom
ing so aroused over this terrible evil, she
said, that this law should not be hard to
pass.
This paper was followed by an address
by Mrs. Christine Armstrong of Salinas,
entitled "Our Nation's Sabbath and
Methods of Sabbath Observance Work,"
in which she urged her co-workers to be
the <^ueen Esthers of the present, and
with her faith go in before the kings of
the ballot and demand that in the great
assembly soon to be called of all peoples
and languages, to study the productions
and institutions of all nations and learn
wherein the strength of ours lies, they
shall see to it that we are put on record
by the assembled nations as a Sabbath
keeping people.
Miss Kent of Minneapolis entertained
the assembly with a finely-rendered solo.
This was followed by Mrs. 0. S. banks
of Hollister, with a paper on "The
Womau'a Column in the "Daily Paper."
Sne spoke of the importance, when such
space is iriven, that it be tilled by most
cilsVireet women. Our great city daily
newspaper is one of the marvels of the
age; ft is glanced over largely by rushing
business men between the sips of cot lea
and by women rushed by social
demands. The papers that are really
read and digested are those that go
into the rural districts, away Irom
libiaries, the much readiug and enter
tainments of the city. In such homes
the whole paper is read and discussed,
and here we see the power the teinper
anoe column can wield in the districts
that grow the strongest muscles and the
brainiest heads. Much thinking is done
by mothers in narrow environments that
speaks through their children later on.
Hne urged women to write up the -work
of the union and obtain space now given
to harmful details of murders, suicides
and divorce scandals.
Tuesday evening was given up to
music and "A Trial by Jury," con
ducted by Mrs. Rose French of San Fran
cisco. In many respects it was a luithful
reproduction, and the charge to the jury
by Mrs, Judge Woodman of Chico con
tained the exact words of a charge given
by a San Francisco Judge in the trial of
a man for selling beer to a minor. The
blank idiocy of some of the jurors made
them eminently fitted for their positions.
Wednesday morning's session — the
last day of the school—opened with de
votions by Mrs. S. J. Churchill of San
Jose. Mrs. Gove of Oakland followed
with an address on "Prison Work."
Mrs. Gove spends one day each week
among the prisoners in San Quentiu.
She says in prison work lies a field for
thought and action. We are not legisla
tors, but we may be a power behind
them; let us use the power wisely, but
use it. The first step should be reform
in public opinion by informing your
selves, your friends, your neighbors, and
so create a new and better sentiment.
Our California prison system is manu
facturing more criminals than all good
agences can reform. Agitate the "sepa
rate" system. The indescriminate asso
ciation of prisoners is a flagrant crime.
Reform has begun in Eastern prisons;
may it travel by telegraph to our Pacific
shores.
This was followed by Mrs. S. M. Wood
man of (hico on the "Madonna of the
Future." Young artists are not the only
class who cherish dreams of future Ma
donnas. A present income enables a
pretty, simple home, but there exists in
the mind visions of a palace, and there is
no contentment. Too many are look
ing to the future, to do any present^good.
Wonion sit securely in their homes,
while sin and misery walk the streets.
Let every good woman seize brush and
pallette a-nd on with the work. Wicked
ness does not rest; iv* pictures of degra
dation are seen all over our land, in every
drunkard who walks our streets,in every
opium fiend, ia prisons, jails, in.sano
asylums, and idiots. Let us work for the
greatest power in the world to-day; send
over the land the anti-revolution cry,
"Taxation without representation is ty
ranny."
Miss Severance of Gilroy followed in a
paper on "My Methods? Results?" which
can only receive justice by being printed
entire.
Mrs. Barnum of Oakland gave a most
interesting account of her "Temperance
Coffee House Work," but she said the
picture wan not bright enough to lead
many to go into the business.
Miss Mary Allen West's "Parliament
ary Drills" are most instructive, and
should be given more in all local unions.
Mrs. McMath of San Francisco spoke
of "Headquarter Spectacles." She told of
the power the headquarters were able to
exercise; said she had answered 2,000 calls
in the past six months. Her first call for
a Band of Hope was in the form of an in
vitation to eat popcorn with her, and
forty-three responded; next time with an
addition of ten.
The ladies of Pacific Grove had ten
dered a picnic to the visiting unions at
Lake Mahala, but the proverbial fickle
ness of the weather was never more ap
parent, and our morning changed from
the soft setting of fog that so enhances
the restfuluess of this perfect haven, to
a heavy fog, determined to banish an
early ride, so the ladies served lunch in
the church parlors, after which the sun
broke out in a radiant benediction, and
the party separated, some to take the long
drive past Moss Beach and Cypress Point,
through Del Monte and Monterey, others
to go boating or moss gathering.
The evening opened with music, and
the entrance of Mrs. General Bidwell was
the signal for great applause from the
packed house. Her paper, one of the
best of the whole course, was on "Our
Privileges," impressing forcibly the
truth that our smallest duties well done
are among our most powerful acts.
Mrs. Mary Frank Brown of Oakland
gave a most able address in her usual
spirited manner. She dubbed our great
liquor traffic the "California Napoleon"
on his Elba moor, but she would relegate
him forever to his St. Helena,
Mrs. B. Stutevant Peet closed the exer
cises with a paper on "Political Ethics."
After the reading of suitable resolu
tions by Mrs. Greene of Santa Cruz, Miss
Mary Allen West, in a most touching
manner, bade her pupils farewell, glad
that she bad looked into their faces and
seen their work, and now turns her face
still westward to Honolulu and Japan.
Friend turned from friend, as speaking
ships in mid-ocean, each to her own
duty, hearing our regrets that the school
■was over repeated in the soft surging, of
the ever restless bay. M. E. Tryox,
Corresponding Secretary W. O. T. U.
THE HISTORIC SECTION.
The "Work Goes On—A Delegation to
San Francisco.
A meeting of the Historic Section, one
of four from an associated effort to make
special endeavor to have the State Fair
(in September) in thia Columbian year
the finest exhibition ever held on the
coast, met Saturday night at the residence
of Chairman Lubin.
The reports showed that the Historic
Section will have an exhibition that will
alone constitute an exposition of rare
value, and worth a long trip to examine.
Over one thousand letters have been sent
out in the work of the section, reaching
to all, so far as can be ascertained, sources
from which objects, illustrative or typical
of the' eras of Spanish rule, Mexican
regime, American occupation, State birth,
gold discovery, the pioneer era, etc., and
objects typical of the progressive steps
the State has made, can be obtained.
The objects sought are Ms. books, por
traiture, etCi, dtf the earlier periods, cos
tumery, arms, domestic utensils, etc,
illustrative of social, governmental and
other conditions in toe several eras, in
cluding articles to show methods of trans
portation, system of education, character
of arms and agricultural, mining and
other industrial utensils. Also objects
typical of the Capitols of the State, and
especially of the missionary era, and the
railroad and telegraphic inaugural eras.
The section is very anxious to be
brought into communication with all
people who have articles, such as indi
cated, or means of reaching them that in
comparison will show the growth of this
coast.
There were present, as new members
of the section, Superintendent of "Public
Instruction Andersou and W. H. V.
Raymond, who will take up the educa
tional branches of the subject. Mr. Hantz
man was present a short time, relative to
exhibition Of data of labor organization.
Large delegations of the Order of Native
Sons and of the sons and daughters of
Pioneers, and of Native Daughters, were
present, including D. A. Liudley, L.
Breuner.'.Mrs. Leake. Miss Luther, Miss
Richardson, Miss Green, and others
whose names escaped the reporter, were
present,
A general conference was held relative
to enlisting native sons and daughters
and the sons and daughters of Pioneers
in the work of the section with an ulti
mate view of securing a permanent his
torical exhibit, as the outgrowth of that
at the State Fair, for Sutter's Fort wheu
restored.
The following will go to San Francisco
this morning to attend the conference
with delegations from tbe orders in Sau
Francisco, to be held there to-night:
David Lubin. W. D. Lawton, Miss
Luther, Mr. Sims, Miss Jeuuie Lindley,
Mr. Duden; L. Brenner, Mr. Greer, Miss
Green, Mrs. Post and two or three others.

ROBBED BY HIS FRIEND.
A Wanderer from the Ocean Conies to
Grief Here.
Last Bight a mail presented himself at
the police station and reported that he
had been robbed of $30 and a nickel watch
by his bosom friend. He said the latter's
name wag Quinn, and that they had made
several trips together on a Panama
steamer as dock hands.
They came to Sa«rameoto together, and
baooming "tired" yesterday went out on
the north levee to take a nap. When he
awoke Cjuinn was gone, and so was his
own money and watch.
Quinu is probably going yet and timing
his footsteps by his friend's watch.
An Enterprising: Kid.
Last evening Ben Farmer, who resides
at Fourth and R streets, had just come
home from a drive, and was unhitching
hit horses, when a little boy came up and
asked permission to ride the horse to
water. Farmer put him on the horse and
the boy rode away.
Three hours afterward he had not re
turned, neither had the horse, and Far
mer went to the police station and re
ported it as 8 case of deliberate horse
stealing.
Sell!mr Lottery Tickets.
On Saturday night a woman named
Fisher, who sells limes and lottery tick
ets about town, was arrested in a res
tan raut by Captain Bradley. The officer
searched her and found a large number
of tickets in her possession. He claims
she had just sold a ticket when he ar
rested her.
Mu*lc at a Church.
The congregation at the Calvary Bap
tist Church was entertained last evening
by Mr. Morgan, his wife and two sons,
who are all accomplished musicians and
talented people. An announcement was
made that they would hold forth this
evening at Fourth and X streets in an
open-air concert.
Alice Plerson's Death.
An autopsy has been made by County
Physician Whita on the body of Mrs.
Alice Pierson, the unfortunate and disso
lute woman who died in the Receiving
Hospital on Friday. Ho found that death
resulted from the excessive use of mor
phine and kindred drugs.
*• Frisco Slim.''
There appears to be serious doubt as to
whether or not James Sullivan, who is
under arrest here, is really "Frisco Slim,"
the man wanted for the Rio Vista mur
der. The officers now say be does not
answer the description as well as it was
at first thought he did, so they turned
him loose yesterday.
Closing Exorcises.
The closing exercises of Ungraded
school, .No. 1,, will take place at 9 a. m. to

O street, between Ninth and Tenth,
Miss b. M,. Jones, teacher.
No Police Court.
Owing to the death of Judge Cravens'
daughter, there will be no session of the
Police Court to-day.
The latest electrical surgical instrument
consists of a hard rubber tube, inclosing
a number of small wires, which is de
signed to be attached to the tip of the

tions, and is intended to transmit sub
stantially the name sensations to the
operator's nnfcer-tip that he would expe
rience if his linger were actually present
where the device is and in comaet with
the same surfaces.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
A JUST REBUKE.
Rev. A. C. Smither's "Several Hours"
in Sacramento.
A Sacramento Clergyman Calls Ills
Attention to a Few Things
He Overlooked.
Reference was made in the editorial
columns of this paper a few days ago to a
most unjust attack made in a religious
]>aper, The Truth, by Bay. A. C. Smither
of Los Angeles, who sa3's he passed
through the Capital City recently. Now
comes Rev. B. B. Burton, a pastor of this
city, who takes the Los Augelea gentle
man to task for his uncalled-for criticism
of Sacramento, which appeared in The
Truth of last week:
Ed. Truth : Out of simple justice-, and
from a feeling of honest pride in our
beautiful Capital City, 1 am prompted lo
answer the unjust, depreciating and un
provoked reference to Sacramento in an
article from the pen of Brother A. C.
Smither; of Los Angeles, in which he
I says that alter spending "several hours"
!in Sacramento he found nothing com-
I mendnble. and concludes his unsavory
notice by .adding, "California has a proper
right to be ashamed of Sacramento." It
I Is plainly evident to :anyone at all ac
quainted with Sacramento that Brother S.
must have dipped his pen in the green
fluid of sectional jealousy in writing that
article, or'he may have spent his "several
hours" in the region of Chinatown and
narrowed his ideas to that view.
Had he spent his "several .hours" in
the uarks ami residence portion of the
city, and Viewed the beautiful liomes and ;
drives, .many of them-stately and grand, ;
all attractive, for no city of it's size iv the
United States will make a better showing j
of homes, he might have written difler- i
ently. . ;
Had he taken a walk through the State
Park and viewed our stately Capitol
building standing in the mid&l o: the ,
most churmkig sceuery and artistically j
designed walks aud drives he never !
could have written as ho did without llrst
Coining his integrity which I most conn- i
dently believe he would not do.'. Had he ;
called at the parsonage I am sure I could j
have shown him some attractions worthy ''
of his. notice.. >
He might have found the State Library,
the .largest by far in tho Wfiat, or the
great Crocker Art Gallery, the most ex
tensive . and magnificent collection of
paintings on the coast, worthy of favor- j
able mention. For general information
I append a few statements from a most
reliable source,viz., the "Haud Book" by
the Sa» FraueLscQ Board of Trade:
.. Sacramento, tbe capitoi of the State, has a
population or <Jo,ooo. Its streets "are broad,
heavily shaded aud afford admirable drives.
Citizens take, a, pride in their homes, sur
rounded by choice foliage.
Itia the second city in trade .on .the Pucilio
Coast. It is'Uie railroad center for the middle
and northern parts of the State from which
railway* radhue like the spokes of a wheel.
It is fast becpmlng a commercial center. It Is
liberally endowed with churches aud main
tains one of the largest and Lest equipped
school systems and several private educa
tional institutions. Oue of these, the Saera
meiito School' ot Design, occupies the K. U.
Crocker Art Gallery, v superb building pre-
Bented to the city by Mrs. K. B. Crocker, and
valued with IU collections of oil paintings ut
aDout f650,000.
Tnebtate Capitol, situated tv the heart or
the city, is a- classical structure erected at a
cost of up ward of $3,000,000 m the midst of
a beautuul park of choice flowers und shrubs.
The Southern Pacjflc Railroad <Company's
shops cover twenty-ffre acres.
I might have been provoked to com
pare the statistical reports of health and
climate, or point my article with a bit of
rebuke, bot siuce reading Denton's last
reply to Smiiher's in The Truth I find my
sympathies going out to Brother S., as
they always uo to the "under dog," so I
hereby extend a cordial - invitation to
Brother Smither to stop on his, way home
and make me a visit and give me the
pleasure of showing him the other side of
Sacramento. Fraternally,
is. B. Burton.
NEW PUBLICATIONS.
The "Cosmopolitan" for August has
just the sort of reading matter for a mid
summer afternoon—fnil of attractive il
lustrations; scenes and life in the far-off
Philippine Islands, with an experience of
an earthquake; photographs on the At
lantic Beach, accompanying a charming
sketch of Jersey's "Salt Water Day," by
llauilin Garland; charming Spanish bits
by the artist Chase; lovely vistas and en
ticing groves!, illustrating a California
farm village, in which Colonel Fitzsim
mons describes the growth and develop
ment of a model community of fruit
farms. Of fiction, Henry James' "Jer
sey Villas'J makes delightful mfdsum
mer reading, and there is an odd story of
Southern HTe, while "Curiosities of Musi
oal Literature" furnish a, half-hour's en
tertainment. Henry Arthur Herbert of
Mucrpss, formerly an oflicer of the
Guards and an M. P., gives in an enter
taining way tbe cause of the revolution
which has taken plaoe in the society of
London. Murat Halstead's description
of the convention at Minneapolis is
breezy and bright, and the beautiful pho
tographs which illustratrate an article on
"Bridges' and Bridge Building" would
attract a very tmseientinc reader. The
one heavy article of the number is that of
the famous English writer on "Evolu
tion," St. George Mivart. It is a part of
the discussion in which he seeks to har
monize the principles of evolution with
the doctrines of Christianity.
"Lippincott's Magazine" (Philadelphia)
for August has a complete novel, "The
Martlet Seal," by Mrs. Jeannette H. Wal
worth, depicting the strength of an old
family feud that draws round it like a
loadstone sufficient of love, misunder
standing and strained friendship to make
a striking tale.' The novel is illustrated.
In the Journalist Series, John A. Cocke
rill talks of "The Newspaper of the Fu
ture" in a way that cannot fail to attract
attention. . Edgar Allan Poe, whose well
known Interest and place in this branch
of athletics insures his grasp of the sub
ject, contributes to the Athletic Series this
mouth a naper on "Intercollegiate Foot
ball." Mrs. J. K. Wetherlll deals a
pointed paragraph or two about the need
of "A Professional Plalndealer." The de
partment called "As It Seems" discusses

FOLSOM AND VICINITY.
Jl Week's Happenings About the Old
Mining Town.
[From the TeeJgraph of the 23d.]
Our townspeople are scattered over the
State enjoying themselves. About half
the residents of Folsom and vicinity are
gone, and the place seems lonesome.
W. J. Milgate, who died near Wall
town last woek, was one of the oldest resi
dents of this section of the country, hav
ing resided there since the earliest days.
He was 81 years old.
The prisoners have been at work dur
ing the week on the temporary crossing
over the American River, and have made
very satisfactory progress with the same.
The old bridge has been taken apart, and
in a few days the temporary crossing
will be ready for use by travelers.
Parties who desire can ford the river
now, in the place used when the bridge
was being repaired last summer.
All the available force of men under
the charge of Colonel G. W. Cummings
are now engaged in the hills above I'lacer
yille, constructing a railroad into the
heart of the sugar pine forests. The line
will run from the river. The logs will be
cut away back from the river, and the
road will bo used to transport them to
the banks, where they will be thrown
into the stream to bo floated down to the
boom.
During the past few days "Dutchey"
Baker, the notorious convict who mur
dered a man at San Quentin and at
tempted to murder another one at this
prison, has been shirking his work and
pretending that he was sick. On Mon
day last he was told that he would have
to go to work or'be punished for his lazi
ness. As soon as he was told this he pre
j tended to lose his mind, and has been
j kicking up ever since. The Warden took
i him in hand on Wednesday morning,
and the way his senses returned was
simply marvelous.
A contractor was up here this week
j looking at the proposed location of a big
I sawmill to be erected by the American
! River Land and Lumber Company. The
j structure will be built iv the vicinity of
I the new steel suspension bridge. It will
. be one of the largest mills in the State.
; The timber and lumber to be used in the
I construction of the building will all bo
cut at the mill at the boom.
Items from Gait.
[From the GaJt Gazette of July 23d.]
Mrs. A. M. Valensin has been ap
pointed Postmistress of the Arno Post
oflice, and her son, Pio, is deputy.
Irving Sutton, the five-year-old son of
William Sutton of this vicinity, had his
shoulder dislocated one day this week.
A movement is on foot to arrange for
the sprinkling of the streets in town
during the months of August, September
and Octobor.
James Rosseter and John Braun were
convicted of vagrancy in Justice Clem
ent's court this week and sent to the
County Jail. Dave Rowe was also "sent
up" from this place for disturbing the
peace.
Supervisor Thomas Jenkins visited
Gait and vicinity last Thursday for the
purpose of examining an unsafe bridge,
known as tho Fowler bridge, which
crosses the Laguna. It was feared that
the bridge would go down before the
season's crop of wheat would be hauled
over it. Mr. Jenkins ordered lumber
and other material to put the bridge in a
safe condition, and the work will be done
forthwith by John Hagle.
