he believed, if it was deemed abso-
lutely necessary for the informa-
tion of the committee to examine
residents of the different sections,
that it could be done more econom
ically by bringing them to the
com mlttee, and that it would be a
large and useless outlay of several
thousand dollars. He was over
ruled, however, and the resolution
passed. Then the Com mittee on
Mining Rights was added, and yes
terday Senator Murphy, of San
Luis Obispo, presented a resolu.

who represented agricultural, in

virtually making the travelling

day it was considered that the joke
had gone far enough, and the pass.

they learned the real situation. 1t
was Intended, no doubt, by the
author of the resolution, Senator
Hay mond, to be another trap to
catch the Democracy, hut this
time he himself was caught in the
rebound, and possibly the lesson
has been severe enough to "bot lie"
him for the rest of the session.
The bitter was bit, for he has made
arrangements for special train,
furnished by tho railway, free of
charge, and had invited quite a
number of ladies to participate in
the excursion. OF course, no one,
with any common sense would
suppose that gentlemen, even pos
sessed of the extraordinary intelli-
geuce of Senators Raymond and
Fowler, could obtain much reliable
information regarding the irrigat-
ing necessities of Los Angeles
county in single day. The trip,
too, might cost the State any where
from $1,000 to $4,000.
The opinion is daily gaining
ground that the State should pay
the cost of investigating the sub

The Sunday School concert of ST..
Athanasius Episcopal Church Sun
day evening proved very pleasant
affair. The church was comforta-
bly, filled, and the exercises-last-
ing little more than an hour
were of such an interesting char
acter az to elicit the highest praise
from all who attended. A number
of pretty Sunday School songs were
sung by the school, led by Rev.
Mr.. Hill and accompanied on the
organ by Miss Hill. REGULATIONS,
solos, duos aud quartettes filled up
the programme. The only parts of
note taken by the Older folks were
a chant, "Teach us Thy Statutes,u
sung by the Misses Mallard and
DR.. Corbett and an anthem by Miss
Hill. A daughter of Mr.. Abbott, a
little tot five or six years old, COW
cred herself with glory by the
singing of solo, Little Foot
steps," Theodore Savage, a young
gentleman of some twelve years,
recited Longfellow's poem, "King
Roberts of Sicily" The poem con
tains at least two hundred and
fifty lines, and the fact that it W as
delivered without u hesltating or
faulty word, display an intellect
of remarkable strength in one so
young. The recitation was made
with so much animation and clear
ness as to fix the attention of every
man, woman and child in the
audience from beginning to end,
and many an older person of ac-
knowledged Evolutionary abilities
could not have done better Justice
to the poets story.
The sacred concert at the Fort
Street Methodist Church Sunday
evening drew out a large audience,
and the evening was voted one of
delight and profit by all who at
tended. The choral music was
furnished by the regular church
choir, accompanied by two organs,
with the Messrs. Dohs, with first
and second violin, and q. Ruthard,
with the bass viol. A quartette,
consisting of Messrs. Book and
Alternately, Mrs. Savage and Miss

sang. "Angels Ever Bright and

The following story has run through
three generations. and has been located at
almost every large seaport on both sides
OF the Atlantic, but it will bear occasional
repetition: There was merchant ship
owner of Liverp 'ol e. Quakerl who prid
ed himself on his unmpeached and unim.
pcachable honesty. He would not have
told downright ftlseh0od TO save the
value of his best ship. JAG b suffered one
OF his best ships to set sail from Calcutta
for home without any insurance upon
either vrss or cargo. At length he be-
came uneasy. He was confident his ship
had encountered bad weather. and he
feared for her tfety In this strait he
went tc his friend Isaac. He called him
friend, though | am under the impression
that Isaac was one Of the children of
Israel.
" Friend Isaac" he said, 81 would like

ship and cargo from the date of her leav-
ing India.
Early on the following morning Jacob

This was very unfortunate. Should friend
Isaac happen to hear the news before the
policy was made out, he would not make
it at all or, if it was made out and not
signed, he would not sign it. What
should he do? He wanted to act honestly
1t would not be right to let Isaac go and
make out the pol cy under such circum-
stances. Finally he hit upon plan: He
summoned his confidential clerk and sent
him with This message:
"Trll friend Isaac that | have heard
from my ship, and if the policy is not

may also be termed the post Of servant, or
doing The work of one. This is looked
