Bae ev ees ee fa i ty ate PRR ROOM AEE LT IT IT OT BE onto ner THE TRANSCRIPT. TMONDAY......+,March 25, 1901] —San Francisco’s Shame. Six rescued Chinese slave girls. now cared for by the Presbyterian mission in San Francisco, testified before the Grand Jury Friday as to the circum-stances of their former bondage, treatment and final rescue. Thisis America, says the Indedependent. This is the land wherein not a voice is bold enough to decry Jefferson, who wrote that all men are created free and equal. This is the land that cherishes as sacred the name of Lincoln because he emancipated four million slaves. This is the republic which by a vote of two-thirds of its national Congress and threefourths of the State Legislature engrafted a provision in its fundamental law, prohibiting involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime. And yet in one of the chief cities of the republic, a grand jury listens to the evidence of girls held in bondage, hears them tell of the connivance of the police to per petuate that bondage and of the danger of exposing themselves where their former masters or the American (?) police can secure possesion of their persons. What a shame! What a farce of free goverment! What 8 crime against civilization! What an insult to the republic and to Christendom! The Chinese slave owners from whom the girls were rescued are the same with whom Mayor Phelan and Ohief Sullivan contemplated an unlawful agreement licensing their gambling crimes and making them yield a revenue to the city government. What is the duty of civilization, of organized society in such an emergency? What is the name of that indifference that tolerates slavery at our very doors, known of ali men? What About Nevada City? We copy the following from the Appeal of Sunday in relation: to celebrating on the 4th of July. We copy it to show what our neighbors down there are doing with, the hope that the same enthusiasm would be catching to some . of our people and steps taken immediately to have a rousing celebration in Nevada City on the 4th of July: Marysville will celebrate the Fourth of July this year in proper shape all right. The meeting of citizens held at City Hall Friday night enthusiastically agreed that the old town would make the eagle scream, the cracker burst and the rocket sizz. There was a large attendance on hand and after a thorough discussion of the proposition, a committee to solicit subscriptions and size up -the situation was appointed under instrustions to report a week from Tuesday next. This committee will make an all around canvass; it. will call upon every “available” man and women in the town and request a suitable contribution. It is estimated that $2000 will be required to “do up” the celebration in proper style. This is not a large amount for such a pur-. pose and should be subscribed and collected without difficulty. Let every citizen who may be called upon respond according to his means and the thing is done. Now that it has been decided to hold this celebration the enterprise should receive the cordial support of the people not only in a financial sense but in every other possible way. There will be a lot of hard work to do, and because the chief responsibility necessaily must be assumed by a few public Spirited citizens the rank and_ file should not consider themselves &sbsolved from any obligation to render whatever assistance may lie in their power. Let us all join hands and do what we can to help matters along. That’s the way to succeed. In union is strength. The celebration is for the people and the good of the town. Let everything that may be planned for “The Fourth” be made subservient to this idea. Could Not Find Them. Deputy United States Marshal Moffit arrived here. yesterday to make an investigation in relation to counterfeiters said to be in this vicinity. Nothing definite was obtained and the Deputy Marshal returned to San Francisco today. Married at Grass Valley. Mark M. McCullough and Miss Ruth E.

The whole system feels the effect of this acid poison; and not until thé blood has been purified and brought back to a healthy condition will the aches and pains cease, Mrs. James Keil, of 707 Ninth street, N. ¥., Washington, D. C., writes as follows: “A few months ago I had an attack of Sciatic Rheumatism in its worst form. The ain was so intense that I me completely prostrated. The attack wasan bins tot severe one, and ef condition was regard. ed as being very dangerous. I was attended by one of the most able doctors in Washington, whois also a member of the facpc of a teading medical college here. Hetold me to continue his prescri tions and I would get well. twelve times without receiving the slightest benefit, I declined to continue his treatment any longer. Having heard of S, S. S.(Swift’s Specific) recommended for Rheumatism, I decided, almost In despair however, to give the medicine a trial, and after I had taken a few bottles I was able tc hobble around on crutches, and very soon thereafter had no use for them at all, S.S.

An immense amount of damage has been done to property, and there has been great loss of life. It is impossible at this time to state how many people have been killed here and in nearby towns, Up to this time fifteen bodies have been recovered, A Good Superintendent. A gentleman who has just returned from the State of Nevada says that M. M. Baruh, who is. superintending the development of a sulphur mine in Humboldt county, Nevada, is makiug an enviable record -for himself.

John Austin of Spenceville states that the Jackson mine of that district is proving to be a splendid-paying
propsrty. An Eastern company has bonded the claim and are greatly encouraged. by .the returns of the ore, which yields over 25 per cent. pure copper. The “601” On Another Raid. Republican: ‘The “601” was out again last night. It appeared in stronger form even than on the previous occasion. It was marked by the same business-like valmness and quietness of the evening before, and was evidently out for the purpose of seeing if its former warnings had been properly heeded. Armed, masked and marching as before they appeared on Jibboom street. The houses in the tenderloin district were carefully in‘spected to see if any of the disreputable charac‘ers were kept in hiding in those places. The inspection, from reports, was very thorough. The houses were entered and all the apartments visited. “ Where doors were found locked, they were forced open by means of a ten-pound sledge which one of the members carried conspicuously on his shoulder as the committee walked through the streets. Apparently none of! the individuals for whom they were*searching could be found, and it doubtless was e lucky thing that none of them were, as they would have been summarily dealt with. The good effects of the movement are already very noticeable and the peace and quiet of the town is much improved. From Hobart’s Mills. Republican: ‘he sawmill at Hobart Mills will be started about the first of the month. The company is now plowing out the railroads to the camps preparatory to beginning the logging season. There is a considerable depth of snow yet in the timber. They have enough logs in the pond to rnn for sometime. There are at present between one hundred and a hundred and twenty-five men about in the town. Every house is taken now and it looks as if more provisions would be necessary fur the accommodation of the increased number which is necessary during the summer months. eee Taken before bedtime Gilt Edge whiskey will break up any cold.
