The Telegram is Reported in
Error About the
GIRL PROBLEM IN CALIFORNIA.
jfeiEVER A L
weeks ago
there appear
ed in the
jj Telegram
A) |an article that
MjC"^ attracted con
it'ifliBr?!!? siderable at
' /l I* 1/ tention. com
JgafilB-mMl mentisg on
nwuffl&i the "girl fam
i /WMW ine" ,n the
/ Wlf* State of Cali
fornia. Last week the Surf, one
of the spiciest journals of the
"golden coast," published at
Santa Cruz, Cal., comes to the
rescue and has the following
editorial on the alleged "girl
famine:
The Clarksburg Telegram.
the leading paper of Central
West Virginia, becomes pathetic
over our "girl famine" to the ex
tent of a half-column article with
a "four-time" head, and sympa
thizes with our dire misfortune
thus:
Any kind of fiimino in disagreeable.
But what shall lie said of a girT famine
involving a whole State as large as Cali
fornia? .Life without girls is simply
1 iucuring dissolution. Life without
sunlight, without water, without fow,
is not what it ought to be, but it is bliss
.compared to the torture of existence I
without girls. Yet today a preat sister
State is crying out for girls in agony of
despair.
This truly fraternal feeling for
our depths of imaginary woe
seems to have arisen from an
item in a San Francisco paper
which claimed that there is a |
"great scarcity of girls in every
town in the State except Ala
meda." ?' ,
The Surf is glad to assure the
Clarksburg Telegram and other
sympathizing cotemporaries that,
however true this might have
been in the winter of '49 and the ,
spring of '50, it is quite different
in the spring of fl.'f. We may let
the rest of the State speak for
itself, though our beautiful bath
ing beach every summer shows
exquisite specimens of the genus
"girl" coming from every Cali
fornian city, from Shasta in the
north to San Diego in the south.
But speaking for Santa Cruz,
if there is one product which our
county rejoices and delights in
more than all others, it is our
girls. Country girls, city girls,
mountain, valley and seaside
girls; girls that are sensible,
housewifely and useful; girls that
are dainty helpless and stylish;
school-ma'ams who are pretty
and lovable and not afraid to bury
themselves in country school
houses; school girls.eollege girls,
telephone and telegraph girls,
society girls, business girls?
every one ot them "well informed, I
bright, fin-desiecle to the finger
tips, and every one ready to make
some fellow a good wife unless
she happens to like taking care
of herself better.
Most of these are native
daughters born on our own
golden and verdant soil?those
who are not wish they were; but
we soon get almost as fond of the
imported article?when she is
very nice?as the home product.
For the sake of our kindly
friend, the editor of the Tele
gram, we wish he might stand
with us on Pacific avenue some
bright morning and see the un
ending crowds of school girls,
business college girls and pretty
school-ma'ams flocking to the
day's duties, their eyes and faces
bright with the glorious air of
Santa Cruz. It would help him
to put away his free and un
bounded sympathy in a pigeon
hole of his office desk and pre
serve it for some less favored
community than ours.

A National Need.
In speaking of the needs <>f 1
aiuses of this country a we
professional man recently said:
we need in this country is n
convent, where geniuses could |
perfect their Ideas?paint their \
write their epics, philo
plays, experiment with chemls
mechanism and even study. Sue
vent should have no religious
backing, but be a refuge to
man might repair, to get away f:
distracting noise and bother of city
the worry of housekeeping
boiling, the anxieties of rent pa
the interruption of so-called
duties; a place, in short, where i
' could put his mind to the bl{
that he knew how to do or want*
i do, where there would bo no ho
keep or obligations to meet, and i
the society would be brainy and i
luting. I believe that such a
I would be the making of some ;

The Chinese of Kew York send
I large amounts of money to Chii

I lars. At the same time, many
I Chinese appear to have at eonun
I the leisure they wish. There n

I part of the city to another,
I city to city. There is also a liv
respondcnco between Chinamen
and in other parts of the countr;

card looks like i

The village of Chincoteague, c
Virginia island of that name, is with
out other government than that admin
istered by a local justice of the peace
and a county constable, although the
place has more than one thousand in
habitants. ' Good order prevails, how
ever, in spite of the fact that a great
many men are idle for many weeks in
summer. A strictly inforced local op
tion law might be esteemed in part the
cause of the prevalent good order but
I for the fact that the working of the
law is considerably mitigated by a
I lively "jug trade" with the mainland.

A New Yobk dealer in men's furnish
[ ing goods explains that glaring colors
are popular in neckties, and that he
sells a dozen loud ties to one of quiet
| color and design. He adds that the
cheaper ties abound in loud colors, not
| because poor folks have worse taste
than rich folks, but because there are
more people of bad taste than of good
taste, and a great many more of each

A Massachusetts woman, who was
badly burned a few weeks ago, sub
mitted to a novel and seemingly suc
cessful surgical operation. 'The wound
was so large tbat it was impossible to
obtain human skin for the purpose of
grafting, so the skins of frogs were
used. Nearly three hundred grafts
were put on. The frogs wero chloro
formed before the skin was taken from
them. ?
There is a schemeon foot at Browns
ville, Pa., to buy tho old house in which
James O. lJiaine was born and turn it
into a curio hall, in charge of a local
historical society. The project is to

making it the property of the borough.
It is now occupied by miners' families
and is speedily crumbling to the ground.
The three million dollars which it. is
reported the hat manufacturers of the

Osi hundred tons of cats* tails were
recently sold at once for the purpose of

How to Treat a Lamp.
I. Never turn it down. When light
ing, leave the wick low a short time, and
when tho flow of oil through the wick is
established and the chimney is heated it
can bo turned up to make a strong

low, tho burning surface is decreased,
while the supply of oil is not lessened.
That which is not consumed becomes an
unpleasant and unhealtbful gas which
vitiates tho air. 2. Keep every part of
tho lamp clean, especially tho chimney

latter liecomo clogged with dust or oil,
the lamp smokes. Once in a whilo boil
tho wick tubes in soda and water.

DOOM THAT FAILKD.
Tho Philippi newspapers and I
people from that town are trying |
to hush up tho excitement ftrow '
in;? out of tho financial crash in
the. town,that involved the cash
ier of the bank and othor citizens.
The papers have never let the I
public know any of the facts,
which shows that something is
concealed. Is this the best plan
for the Phihppians? Would it
not be bettor for them to tell the
plain truth? An exchange says:
"Tho failures aro ascribed by
common report to the fact that
money wns sunk in an effort to
create a 'boom town' at Wilmoth,
some distance above Philippi and
Belington. on tho railroad, in
Barbour county. The schomoi
did not pan out. and all tho in
vestors lost heavily. Several of j
them made assignment as soon as
they realized their misfortunes,
while others went on until credi
tors swore out attachments and
had them closed by executions.
The main losers by tho collapse
and incidentally though misfor
tunes growing out of it, are, as
near as could be learned yester
day, the following:
G. W. Gall. jr.. cashier of the
bank at Philippi; liabilities about
$30,000; assets not over $10,000.
E. J. Gall, general merchant.
Philippi; closed by executions;
liabilities $5,000; assets $1,200 to
$1,500. , ? ?
W. P. Scott, general merchant,
Philippi.
G. \V. Gall, farmer.
W. W. Teter, general mor
chant, Belington. liabilities $1.
000; assets $1,500.
E. D. Gall, merchant, Beling
ton closed by executions.
Belington Ooal and Coke Co.,
closed by executions; assets $300;
liabilities vastly in excess."
The plain truth is good enough fori
Hood's Bartapariila. No need of em
