The public debt statement for the month of June shows that there was a net decrease of $1,216,258 during the month. The inter-dead when alone without the help or comfort of a human being. Many went mad and threw themselves into the wells or the Arno, or from out their windows, driven to this by great sorrow, or panic, or fear. Many and many died unseen, many were buried before the breath had left their bodies. One might see the cross bearing priests who had gone to fetch a corpse take up two or three on their way to the church. It is calculated that in Florence alone two-thirds of the population died—that is, 18,000 persons. Of the epidemic of 1400 a detailed description is given in a letter of Ser Lapo Mazzei: "Here shops are hardly open any more; the masters are not at their desks; the police, the Justice is without superiors. No one weeps for the dead." It was an awful visitation; children died, friends, neighbors and relations fell victims; there was no longer any means of recording even the names of the dead. Irrigation Bonds Confirmed. Judge Van Dyke of the Los Angeles Superior Court last week confirmed the bonds of the Glendora Irrigation District, in accordance with an opinion filed by him. By the act of March 14, 1889, the Board of Directors of an irrigation district may commence a special proceeding by which the proceedings of the Board in the issuance of bonds may be judicially examined, approved and confirmed. The proceeding before the court was under the act mentioned, which allows any person interceded in the district or in the issue or sale of the bonds to demur or answer to the petition. The only party appearing and contesting the application for confirmation was the Glendora Water Company. In discussing the points raised the court says: "The act for the organization and government of irrigation districts, commonly known as the Wright act, has been sustained as constitutional, and approved by the Supreme Court in a number of decisions, after a thorough discussion of the matter." Also a full assortment of public in general to come and inspect everywhere. No trouble to show goods, even parts of the city. The Public Debt Statement. The public debt statement for the month of June shows that there was a net decrease of $1,216,258 dung the month. The interest-bearing debt increased $19,990; the debt on which the interest has ceased since maturity decreased $96,950; the debt bearing no interest decreased $224,162, and the cash in the Treasury increased $897,136. The aggregate interest and non-interest-bearing debt June 30th was $961,421,766; on May 31 it was $961,750,888. Certificates in Treasury notes offset by an equal amount of cash in the Treasury June 30th, $584,558,920, a decrease of $9,977,097; total cash in the Treasury, $745,004,601; gold reserve, $95.485,413, and net cash balance, $26,976,877. During the month there was a decrease of $8,063,177 in gold coin and bars, the total at the close being $188,455,443. Of silver there was an increase of $5,369,905. Of surplus there is in the national bank depositories $12,082,573 against $11,649,142 at the end of the previous month. Receipts for the month of June were $30,983,321, and the expenditures $29,266,451. In May the receipts were $30,971,497 and the expenditures $30,872,502. Customs receipts decreased from $15,424,852 to $14,964,390. Revenue receipts increased from $13,212,103 to $14,003,127, and the payments for pensions decreased from $14,268.020 to $11,-411,301. Specimen Cases. S. H. Clifford, New Cassel, Wis., was troubled with neuralgia and rheumatism, his stomach was disordered, his liver was affected to an alarming degree, appetite fell away, and he was terribly reduced in flesh and strength. Three Bottles of Electric Bitters cured him. Edward Shepherd, Harrisburg, Ill., had a running sore on his leg of eight years' standing. Used three bottles of Electric Bitters and seven boxes of Bucklen's Arnica Salve, and his leg is sound and well. John Speaker, Catawba, O., had five large fever sores on his leg, doctors said he was incurable. One bottle Electric Bitters and one box Bucklen's Arnica Salve cured him entirely. Sold by W. M.

The proceeding before the court was under the act mentioned, which allows any person interested in the district or in the issue or sale of the bonds to demur or answer to the petition. The only party appearing and contesting the application for confirmation was the Glendora Water Company. In discussing the points raised the court says: "The act for the organization and government of irrigation districts, commonly known as the Wright act, has been sustained as constitutional, and approved by the Supreme Court in a number of decisions after a thorough discussion of the matter. "It has been held that the districts organized under this act are public corporations, and that the property held by such corporations is in trust for the public and subject to the control of the State; that its object is for the good of the public and to promote prosperity and welfare of the public; that while they do not possess all the municipal powers conferred upon cities and towns, still under the law of their creation they are vested only with public duties and are mere agencies or auxiliaries of the State in the discharge of its sovereign power and duty of providing for the common welfare; and that the acts and proceedings of such districts and their Board of Directors should be liberally construed to carry out the purposes of the law." The Court in conclusion says that without considering in detail the objections on the part of the only defendant appearing, it is sufficient to say that in the opinion of the Court such of them as are sustained by the evidence are not of such a material nature or kind as to render the proceedings on the part of the district in question invalid; and from the stipulation of facts on tile and the evidence in the case the petitioner is entitled to a decree of confirmation as prayed for, and it is so ordered. A Word to Ladies. Ladies who desire a beautiful clear skin, free from pimples, boils, blotches and other eruptions, should commence at once to use Dr. Gunn's Improved Liver Pills.

Penalty for Healing short on Kisses. When Jonas Greenebsum makes out a check for $3,500 which sum a jury the other day decided he should pay Miss Irma Heibron for trifling with her young affections over in the World's Fair City he will not sign it: Yours as ever loving. While the jurymen were a little loath to reveal the secrets of their deliberations, one of them intimated that "the kisses did it." In his loving epistles "Yours as ever loving Joe" contracted to deliver an almost inconceivable number of these tokens of affection. He defaulted, and the jury figured out the damages as follows: One carload kisses (not delivered) $\$1,$000 One million kisses (not delivered) $\$750$ One lot - $\$2$ bushels - kisses (not delivered) $\$32$ Several bushels kisses (not delivered) $\$750$ Many sweet kisses (not delivered) $\$150$ Sunny job lot kisses (not delivered) $\$80$ Heartaches $\$500$ Disappointment and wrecked hooves $\$3,$500 When Miss Irma heard the verdict read she smiled and when he heard friends congratulated HARKER, REPAIRED AND WARRANTED Commercial Hotel.

From the great beginning of the mortality of 1348 to the early years of the Fifteenth century, the chroniclers registered no less than six such epidemics, though some were of comparatively minor deadlines. By consulting the books of death preserved in the archives of the Grascia, it is possible to ascertain that from the 1st of May to the 18th of September, 1400, there occurred no fewer than 10,908 deaths, of which the greater part were children. Of the plague of 1348 beside the classical and splendid description of Boccaccio, we can discover vivid and sad records amid the family chronicles in the diaries and memoranda of the day. It must have been a despairing and awe-inspiring sight. Giovanni Morelli tells us how in one hour, a friend or neighbor was laughing and joking and the next he was dead. People fell down dead in the streets and at their benches, fell down reveal the secrets of their deliberations, one of them intimated that "the kisses did it." In his loving epistles "Yours as ever loving Joe" contracted to deliver an almost inconceivable number of these tokens of affection. He defaulted, and the jury figured out the damages as follows: One carload kisses (not delivered). $81,000 One million kisses (not delivered). 725 One lot-21 whole kisses (not delivered). 750 Several bushails kisses (not delivered). 150 Many sweet kisses (not delivered). 25 Sunny job lot kisses (not delivered). 25 Heartaches. 500 Disappointment and wrecked hopes. 500 When Miss Irma heard the verdict read she smiled, and when her friends congratulated her she smiled again. She said she was happy in the vindication the verdict gave her. She will go lecturing. Onions for Coughs and Colds. There is no remedy that acts more promptly on the throat, lungs and chest than Onion Syrup. It loosens the phlegm enabling you to throw it off. It relieves that tightness and oppressive feeling in chest and all soreness of the lungs. As a tonic and restorative it has no equal. Dr. Gunn's Onion Syrup is medicated in a manner so as to be more effectual than the plain syrup and not have any taste or odor of the onions, making it very pleasant to take. Sold at 50 cts at Reid's drugstore. Ayers' Pills promptly remove the causes of sick and nervous headaches. These pills speedily correct irregularities of the stomach, liver and bowels, and are the mildest and most reliable cathartic in use. No one should be without them. Improper and deficient care of the scalp will cause grayness of the hair and baldness. Escape both by the use of that reliable specific, Hall's Hair Renewer. Memories of 1871. On the last week in May each year the French socialists are accustomed to celebrate the "bloody week," which witnessed the downfall of the Paris commune in 1871, the killing of 25,000 of the inhabitants and the exiling of 50,000 others. As early as 1880, under the leadership of Gambetta and the moderate Republicans, a general amnesty was voted, with only five or six exceptions, to the participants of the commune. It is significant also that many of the municipal regulations which the communists demanded were afterwards granted by the Chamber of Deputies. "Bloody week" began on Sunday, May 21st, when the Versailles troops entered Paris by a breach in the fortification wall which the National Guards had neglected to defend. They came in by the Bois de Bou- Y 13, 1893. NEWS IN BRIEF The assessment of Los Angeles county for the present year shows an increase over last year of $3,000,000. The Queen of England has entered upon the fifty-seventh year of her reign, having succeeded to the throne on the death of her uncle, King William IV, on the 20th of June, 1837. A rumor is going the rounds of railway men that the Southern Pacific intends to divide its Sunset route, placing the line south of Tehachapi to El Paso in charge of a general superintendent, and that K. H. Wade, general manager of the Southern California Railway, has been offered the position. Wade returned last week from a trip to Albuquerque, where he had been in consultation with D. E. Robinson, vice-president of the Santa Fe, which gives some color to the rumor. As the steamship Corona was about casting off lines at Redondo Sunday morning, a man named W. T. Sims, connected with the Santa Fe Railway, accompanied by Miss Jessie Kent, both of Los Angeles, stepped rapidly along the gang-plank and started with the vessel out to sea, with the evident intention of an elopement. When their plan of campaign was disclosed to Capt. Hall he declined to offer as magistrate as to making them man and wife, and therefore had to about ship and land the disconcertate pair, the maneuver requiring about fifteen minutes of the Corona's valuable time. Chris Evans was arraigned in the Fresno court Monday morning for the killing of Wilson and McGinnis at Young's cabin, Sampou's flat. Evans asked time to get an attorney. He is said to be negotiating with Pat Reidly to defend him. He was very weak, and in order to ascend the two flights of stairs to the courtroom it was necessary to have two assistants. His voice was so weak that when answering the questions asked by the judge, he could not be heard, and the District Attorney, who was near Evans, had to repeat his answers. The case was continued without date.

Acting Secretary Hamlin has instructed collectors of customs, in order that the department might be fully advised concerning the admission of Chinese persons into the United States, to prepare and forward to the department a statement showing the number of Chinese persons admitted by them from January 1 to June 30, 1893, and the reasons therefor; the number to whom admission was refused, and the reasons, and the number permitted to land for transit to There fell into the Argonaut's possession a list of measurements of the proportions of a young lady of San Francisco who is looked upon as being beautiful and having a fine figure—in short, a typical California girl. With these it compared a similar ground plan of a New York girl, which it secured at the time Prof. Sargent was collecting statistics concerning the young women in Eastern seminaries; likewise the measurements of Ballow's well-known ideal of beauty. They compare as follows: The weights of the first and last are between 130 and 135 pounds, while the New York girl weighs about 126. Polycletos, an old Greek sculptor from Licyon, left rules governing the relative proportions of the female frame. He said that twice the thumb was once round the wrist, which is not, unless the thumb is unusually large and the wrist unusually slender; that twice the wrist is the size of the neck, which is about the case in a well-proportioned woman; that twice the neck is once round the waist, which is about so but he also says that the hand and foot and face should all be of the same length, which is very rarely the case, and that the body should be six times the length of the foot, which would limit most men, whose feet average ten inches in length, to a stature of five feet. The gentleman from Licyon is evidently not a trustworthy guide. Referring to the above table it will be observed that the waist of the New Yorker is much smaller than that of the other two. The fashion of small waists is the rage in the East, and the desired result is obtained by tight lacing, which is carried to such an extent that the physiognomist is lost in amazement as to where the lady has bestowed her vital organs. No statue in existence exhibits such a disproportion between the waist and those portions of the trunk which lie above and below it. The compression of the girth is a mere fashionable fad which good taste must condemn. Our California girl wears a 24-inch cornet, which might easily be reduced to a 23-inch if the wearer saw fit to sacrifice comfort to Eastern fashion. There are belles in New York who are not satisfied till they have squeezed themselves into a 17-inch corset. Such persons, it would seem, would have enjoyed the Scottish boot. The bust and hips should, in a perfectly formed woman, be exactly the same in circumference. They are so in Ballow's ideal, the Venus of Milo, in Cnidian Venus and in the California girl. In the New Yorker the circumference of the bust is half an inch greater than that of the hips, which is probably the work of art, not nature. Ballow does not give the dimensions of his ideal's feet or hands. He merely says that they are "in proportion," which is rather vague. The rule among sculptors is that the foot should measure one head, which is unsatisfactory, as some large women have small heads, and some small women large heads. The female foot is probably smaller in New York society than out West, for the simple reason that it has less to carry. Shoemakers say here that they sell more 4 and 4 shoes than any others, but many ladies in society buy 3, 3 and even 2 shoes. The knights of St. Crispin do not believe in the sculptor's rule about feet. They say Chris Evans was arraigned in the Fresno court Monday morning for the killing of Wilson and McGinnus at Young's cabin, Sampamon's flat. Evans asked time to get an attorney. He is said to be negotiating with Pat Reddy to defend him. He was very weak, and in order to ascend the two flights of stairs to the courtroom it was necessary to have two assistants. His voice was so weak that when answering the questions asked by the judge, he could not be heard, and the District Attorney, who was near Evans, had to repeat his answers. The case was continued without date. Commissioners acting on the part of San Bernardino and Riverside counties have held two preliminary meetings to adjust the value of the property between two counties. Riverside has claimed right along that she should receive about $100,000 from San Bernardino county, but at the last meeting it is said the Riverside commissioners were confronted with a contract entered into between the managers of the Riverside light and the managers of the San Bernardino light, by which Riverside agreed to take no money from San Bernardino county in final settlement. The Board of Supervisors of Riverside county have enacted a stringent prohibition ordinance in accordance with the vote passed by them a couple of weeks ago. But one exception to the law is made, and this is in favor of hotels of twenty rooms or more. These are allowed to furnish liquors to their regular guests, but at meals only. The penalty for a violation of the law ranges from a fine of $100 to $300, or imprisonment in the County Jail from thirty to 100 days, or both fine and imprisonment. In St. Louis last week a man giving the name of Louis Trowbridge walked into the office of the Chief of Police and asked to be arrested. He is a self confessed forger, and had been free for eight years, while another man had been suffering for the crime. Eight years ago, Trowbridge, then a San Francisco lumber merchant, forged a note of $1,800, using the name of Warren Jones, a banker at Eureka, Cal. He got the money on a note from James Harmon. Harmon was arrested, convicted and sentenced to five years in the penitentiary. Stricken with remorse Trowbridge last week gave himself up. A suit was commenced in San Francisco last week by Welle, Fargo & Co., against the Postal Telegraph Company to recover $318, which it claims to have lost by reason of an error made by the defendant corporation. The error was committed in transmission of a dispatch from Chicago to San Francisco. The dispatch was sent by the Chicago agent Wells, Fargo & Co., and instructed the agent at San Francisco to purchase 500 shares of Gould & Carry and 500 shares of the Union Consolidated Silver Mining Company. The dispatch was in cipher, the word "beaker" signifying the number "500."

Acting Secretary Hamlin has instructed collectors of customs, in order that the department might be fully advised concerning the admission of Chinese persons into the United States, to prepare and forward to the department a statement showing the number of Chinese persons admitted by them from January 1 to June 30, 1893, and the reasons therefor; the number to whom admission was refused, and the reasons, and the number permitted to land for transit to is probably the work of art, not nature. Ballow does not give the dimensions of his ideal's feet or hands. He merely says that they are "in proportion," which is rather vague. The rule among sculptors is that the foot should measure one head, which is unsatisfactory, as some large women have small heads, and some small women large heads. The female foot is probably smaller in New York society than out West, for the simple reason that it has less to carry. Shoemakers say here that they sell more 4 and 4½ shoes than any others, but many ladies in society buy 3½, 3 and even 2½ shoes. The knights of St. Crispin do not believe in the sculptor's rule about feet. They say that small feet, like large wits, are a gift from heaven, and may be found attached to persons of any dimensions. Everybody has observed that there is no necessary connection between the hands and the figure; that some slim girls have large hands, and some girls with opulent figures have small hands and fingers. Take all the measurements together, and the conclusion is forced that the California girl more closely resembles the Cnidian Venus than the Venus of Medicine, and that a representative Californian status should be cast after a study of that masterpiece as well as of the Venus of Milo and the Venus Callipyge. Proverbs for Advertisers. Spare the advertisement and spoil the business. He is a wise man who takes a large space and puts little matter in it. Whosoever loveth a good business loveth advertising; but he that despiseth fame is an ass. As a jewel of gold in a swine's snout, so is an effective advertisement in a journal without circulation. A good advertisement is like the merchant's ships; it bringeth abundance from afar. He that payeth for advertisements with goods is a fool, for he raiseth up competition in his own market. Every wise man advertises, but a fool speculateth on the Stock Exchange. He that trusteth in a large circulation shall be wealthy, but he that believeth in cheap rates shall be busted. The smallest circulation has oft the loudest tongue. A big advertiser leaveth an inheritance to his children's children. A small advertisement is better than a bad traveler. There is no worse robbery than a journal that does not circulate. It is hard to get a forty-page catalogue into an inch in column. An advertisement is not a luxury, but a necessity. Acting Secretary Hamlin has instructed collectors of customs, in order that the department might be fully advised concerning the admission of Chinese persons into the United States, to prepare and forward to the department a statement showing the number of Chinese persons admitted by them from January 1 to June 30, 1893, and the reasons therefor; the number to whom admission was refused, and the reasons, and the number permitted to land for transit to another port for exit from the United States. Collectors are directed to make a weekly report of Chinese persons seeking admission into the United States, giving names, description, occupation and places of destination in the United States; those admitted, and the evidence upon which such action is based and also the names, description and occupation of those to whom admission was refused, and the reasons for such refusal; also the names, occupation and description of such persons as were permitted to land for transit through the United States. In Oakland an extraordinary event occurred last Thursday. The Mayor of the city, having determined, by investigation and by advice of attorneys, that the Southern Pacific Company was obstructing the free use of Broadway by a fence and wharfinger's office on the wharf at the foot of that street, maintained for years by the company for purposes incidental to the business of the ferry boats of the creek route which land at the wharf at that place, led a force of men, and directed the removal of the fence and the house. The wharfinger's office was mounted on wheels and drawn by horses to the Corporation Yard, the wharfinger, who refused to leave his post, having a ride through the streets. Every stick within the lines of the street was removed and then a large part of the police force was left on guard at the wharf with instructions to permit no new obstructions to be erected. The proceeding was similar to the action of the Mayor of Long Island City, who, at the head of the force of the Street Department, torched up the rails of an intruding corporation. During the evening of the Southern Pacific Company ran loaded cars upon tracks within the lines of the street. An immense crowd had gathered and men hauled the cars from the street and torched up the rails. No violence to persons was attempted. "Be sure you get Ayer's" is an important caution to all in search of a thoroughly reliable blood purifier, Ayers' Sarsaparilla being one on which there can be no manner of doubt.
