This most interesting industry is prov
ing quite success, and steps are being
taken to greatly increase it. Africa is
beginning to fear California as rival in
raising the ostrich, and to prevent their
shipment to this country tax Of $500
per head is put on their expectation from
that country-but they are too late.
The largest ostrich farm in America is
located about six miles from Fulton
Wells, and every day the Iron Sulphur
Springs Hotel has a number Of intelligent
people ON their way to or from this in.
teresting place. About sixty ostriches,
from the size of the Guinea hen up to
nine and half feet tall ,.can be seen eat
mug rocks, oyster shells or alfalfa. Over
SIX thousand dollars worth of feathers
sold from twenty-one grown ostriches in
seven monthsi Certainly one Of the
future great industries Of the United
States.

KNIGHTS or LABOR.
They Make a Reply to Jay
(tOnld.

ST. LOUIS, March 25.-The Executive
Board of District Assemblies l0l, 10Y
and SO, Knights of Labor, have issued
an address to the Knights Of Labor and
trades unions throughout America inter
ested, as a reply to the statements made
by Gould last night in regard to the
strike of the railroad employees of the
Southwest. After quoting from the
statement of Gould the sentences saying
that the employees upon his roads have
presented no grievances to the manage
ment the address says: eve have
wearied the press and worn the types of
the world in stating our grievances and
demanding an opportunity to present
them to Mr.. Gould and his lieutenants.
We have offered, through the highest
channels that represent us in the ma
tion, to meet him upon any field
We have sought, we have plead, we
have demanded, that we be heard. To
all of this Gould has turned deaf ear,
and now before the world We challenge
him to hear our complaints; before the
world we impeach his veracity when he
said we have not presented them; be-
fore the world let the trial go on"
Referring to the decision OF Mr.. Gould
to sue the organization of the Knights
of Labor, the address says: "Mr. Gould
and his counsel well know that such
eilly emanations are an insult to the in
telligence of our school boys and chal-
lenge to the courage of our grand
mothers. The address closes with an
appeal to the strikers to stand firm until
their organization is recognized and their
demands granted.

A new society called the 5. p.
C. A. and s. P. C. c. has been or
ganized in this city. NJ. D. Lummis,
box 1857 Los Angeles postoffice, is the
secretary of the same. The meaning Of
all the senseless title translated into the
language of America is Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals" and
sSociety for the Prevention of Cruelty to
Children" Perhaps the compiler of
the title did not know that child was
an animal. A title so long as this new
society claims Efill surely impair its USE
fulness. The secretary will be occupied
largely in explaining its meaning and
writing this abbreviation thereof.
The object Of the society is set forth
under third name as follows: "The
Los Angeles County Humane Society,
now organized under the laws Of the
State, solicits membership and subscrip.
tions from all persons who favor kind
ness and protection of the dependent
and helpless. All complaints of cruelty
to children or animals, accompanied with
the name of the sender. will receive
prompt attention"
When the society obtains an efficc and
short, merciful name it will doubtless
do much good, as it surely can, but To
put ON the alphabet for title and to re.
port cruelty through the postoffios will
not be judicious or popular. Let an of.
fee be opened and the name of all the
officers and directors appear before So
Letting subscriptions. No other plan
will be endorsed by the people Of our

The initial rehearsal, with an attend
ance of seventy.five of our best vocal
talent, under the direction Of Professor
A. j. Stamm, met at old Masonic Hall
last evening. Much enthusiasm was
shown and the full tones of "Hallelujah
Chorus" told strength of voice, making
such voluble harmony as is seldom
heard within the sacred precincts of the
old hall. Miss Jenning as pianist dis.
played undoubted ability in her line.
To predict success for such strong or
ganization is needless. it could not be
otherwise.

TOPEKA, Kan, March 25.--Go' lor
Martin issued a proclamation to-day re-
citing the evils existing under the pres
ent railroad strike, and calling upon the
peace officers of the State to protect
property and see that the commerce Of
the State is not interrupted by violence
or lawless acts, and to apprehend any
such offenders. The support Of .he citi-
zens is invoked that the commerce of
the State may be resumed. All the
lawful authority Of the State will be ex-
acted to support the local officers in the
discharge OF these injunctions and all
persons are warned against obstructing
railways. The Governor says that the
people are now IN the third week of the
greatest business disaster that has ever
befallen the State. The interests Of
one.third OF its people are involved.
Supplies of food and fuel are cut off in
many localities, and the business and

In the letters from the people to-day
appears Communication about the dam
age from the food caused by the Los
Angeles river. Without referring to
the views of the writer, it is proper to
state that large share of the damage
done on Alameda street and from Sew
enth street through the orchards and
vineyards was caused by the water from
Graveyard canon and the ravines north
of Fort Hill. which send q wild flood
down Marchessault, High, Virgin and
College streets into Alameda street
where, united, they form powerful
and destructive stream.
The HERALD has called attention to
this matter from time to time, but no
action has been taken to prevent this
annual danger, which may come upon us
at any time whether the river should be
in full banks or not.
All these powerful streams which al
most annually make Alameda street i'm
passable and destroy large amount of
property when violent storm of rain
prevails, could be turned into the river
channel east of the freight depot of the
5. P. r. r. on San Fernando street,
where the river is lower than Alameda
street, so as to be kept out of the street
altogether. Why is il not done?

SAN Francisco. March 25. = The
schooner Gotaida, which arrived here
to-day from the northern coast, brought
two men, named Thurlow and Lancet,
whe were fireman and deckhaDd on the
lost steamer Beda. In an interview
with Lancet, he stated that he believed
the case Of the captain and crew who
were in his boat hopeless one, and that
all have been lost. He attributes the
loss of the vessel to the opening OF a
seam in her bottom, which was first
started when she crossed the bar at the
mouth of the Columbia river. Her cargo
of railroad iron would easily account for
such an accident, as it would make the
vessel labor heavily in sea owing ia
the rigidity of this kind of cargo.
