of show a doll has to go shopping in
this village.
Now, Flossie Myrtle, said Daley,
very sternly, i have listened to quite
enough. / have tried, as you know,
to be a good mother to you always,
but if you will read fairy stories when
am not watching, and get yourself
into state of mind over things that
can't possibly be anything but dreams.
don't know what l shall do to you.
The idea of dolls having theatres, and
writing desks, and nursing bottles,
and silk stockingsl Why, my mamma
says that when she was a little girl a
dollie was considered very well off in
deed if she had two dresses, and plain
cotton stockings were good enough
for the best
bIOssle began to cry as naturally as
if she had been made that way, and an
swered 81 don't suppose you know
all about dolls things, because you
haven't ever been in the city, and you
never saw them, but | haven't been
reading fairy stories. You never even
had a governess to teach me to read.
They are all real things, and did get
letter from Alice, and she did tell
me ell about what she had.
Now, Blossie Myrtle" said Daisy,
you will break my heart if you keep
on telling me stories like this, If you
never learned to read how could you
know what Alice wrote in a letter. l
shall certainly punish you severely if
you do not tell me the truth imme-
diately.'
Flossie cried harder than ever, and
just then Daisy's nurse came into the
room with night lamp
what is the matter, Miss Daisyg
she said, as if badly frightened "You
mustn't be walking around the room
in your night clothes You will catch
a terrible cold Why, bless my SOUL
the child is walking in her sleep!
On, Miss Daisy you mustn't-you
mustn't
Don't be foolish, nurse, said Daisy,
with great dignity. "Flossie Myrtle
was not feeling well, and l was walk
ing her up and down a little bit"
SO they ell went to sleep again. but
in the morning, when Daisy wanted
Elossie to tell her more about the won
derful things she had told the night
before, Flossie would not say word
So Daisy asked Aunt Fanny about it,
for Aunt Fanny lived in the city and
knew all about the wonderful stores
whore thoy keep nothing but children's
things, and die great toy stores and
fancy goods stores, where they keep
everything in the world And Aunt
Fanny said that it was all true that
Blosie had told her.
Dollsnowadays, " said Aunt Fanny,
have almost everything that grown
ups have, and the things are made as
carefully and finished .as wcll as if
they were made for real people to use.
They are to be found in the great toy
stores and fancy stores, and there is
no doubt at all that if you wait till the
holidays Flossie will have a great
many Of them, because you are get
ting old enough to appreciate them.
And when Daisy told Flossie this
she was positive that Flossie smiled
and lost the Discontinued look she had
had for some days. But Flossie never
talked any more David A. Curtis.

The Prospects for the Southern
Pacific San Diego Line.

The Prospects for the Southern
Pacific San Diego Line.
While meandering about the
Southern Pacific depot yesterday
morning a HERALD reporter encounter
ed Colonel Hotchkiss, the Southern
Pacific's attorney at San Diego. The
scribe at once accosted the visitor fol
news relating to the company's move
ments at San Diego, and received the
following information:
Beyond the surveying Of the road
between Santa Ana and San Diego,
nothing further has been done in the
matter. In the opinion Of the Colonel
the company is waiting for residents
along the proposed route and the in
habitants of San Diego to offer them
some inducements to extend the line,
and he thinks it very desirable that
this should be done, as the introduc-
ton of another transcontinental sys-
TEN will greatly help to disperse the
stagnation which is beginning to be
felt. Mr.. Hotchkiss thinks that the
company will proceed no further until
Mr.. Huntington has made his pro
posed investigation Of the business o

Disappeared.

Mr.. E. @. Burlingame reported at
the police headquarters Thursday
night, that his foreman, John Buck
ley, had mysteriously disappeared
and as nothing has been heard of him
since Sunday last, he feared that he
had met with foul play. Buckley has
been working for Mr.. Burlingame for
one year and during that time has
never been under the influence OF
liquor and was a man who has at
tended strictly to his business. All
his baggage is at the camp on Second
street, just as he left it on Sunday
morning. He, told one of the men
that he had 5000 put away. He is
an Irishman, about fifty years of age,
five feet and ten inches in height,
grey side whiskers and moustache,
heavy-set and weighing about one
hundred and sixty-five pounds.

the commerce there will be presented
before the Board in its offices at San
Francisco. In all probability Mr..
Huntington will then proceed to San
Diego and make personal investiga-
ton of the harbor and terminal facil-
tiles, after which any propositions
will be received from the citizens, and
if favorable arrangement is made,
work on the road will probably be
commenced at once. Mr.. Hotchkiss
alluded to the remark OF Mr.. Hunting
toms, "that property appeared to be
somewhat inflated in this part of the
country" and said that Mr.. Hunting
ton appeared to think that the price
of property was a little ahead of the
real commercial value, which, how
ever, would be greatly enhanced far
above even the present prices as the
country opens up and settlers flock in.

SACRAMENTO, March 30.-The in
vestigation into the charges of NAL
feasance in office against State En-
gineer Hall began this morning in
Governor Waterman's office. Hall i;
charged with approving bills present.
ed for State work never done, in con-
nection with the printing OF his report
on irrigation and drainage, for which
an appropriation Of 500. 600 was made
and placed in charge of a board
consisting of Governor Bartlett,
Hall, and the Superintendent
of State Printing Shoaff. Hall
testified that at meeting of the
Board at Highland Springs, on June
8, 1887, the ruling of Controller Dunn
that the portion of the appropriation
remaining undrawn at the end of the
fiscal year would lapse to the State,
was discussed, and the Governor sug-
gested that Hall file with him writ.
ten statement of the question, which
the latter did land Bartlett approved the
suggestion that the contract be let and
obligation be incurred before the
lapse of the appropriation, while the
warrants be withheld till the work
was completed. On July 9th, Bart
lett and Hall met in Oakland and the
bills were allowed, upon which the
warrants now in question were ordered
drawn. These warrants were to be
held in the possession of Controller
Dunn until Gov. Bartlett returned to
Sacramento. when he would explain
the matter to the Controller, but
the Governor never returned. After
the Governor died Hall put the war
rants in the Bank of California, in
escrow, subject alone to the order of
the Governor, the Superintendent of
Printing and the State Engineer.
Hall here exhibited letter to Gov
ernor Waterman, dated March 81,
1888, from the president and
teller of the Bank of California,
certifying that two State warrants
one for $l72, the other for 81 ,9l2.75,
drawn in favor of Britton q Rey, pub.
fishers, had been held in escrow in
the bank since October last. OF the
five warrants originally:kept in escrow
only three remained unredeemed.
There was no money paid
out for work that did not re-
ceive the approval of the entire
Board. The minutes of the Board
showed that Hall acted throughout on
the orders of Governor Bartlett.
Governor Waterman addressed note
to Halls attorney tonight, in which
he says he could find Hall guilty of
no malfeasance. On the contrary, he
had shown unusual care and caution
in using the appropriation, and he ex-
onerates him from all blame.

ANSCHLAG'S RELATIVES
Refuse to Assist Him i'm Any
Manner.

fefuSc TO Assist Him i'm ANY
The following letter was received
yesterday by Fritz Anschlag from bis
sister Anna, who evidently writes for
his relatives as a body. The hand
writing plainly indicates that the
writer was much agitated and very
nervous and that every word written
was meant. Following is transla-
ton of the letter:
KGNIGsBERG, March 8.
We have read the many dispatches,
papers and letters concerning YOU
with shudderipg and horror and we
cannot comprehend how you could,
through your evidently deliberately
colored kilograms, blame us for wash
ing our hands of you. You do not
even seem to give moments thought
or retroach yourself that our name
and that of our uncle, which has
hitherto been SO honored and revered
before our neighbors, has through
your miserable act been crushed in
the dust. Your relatives have held
consultation over your affairs and this
letter is probably the last and only
expression you will receive from any
of us. Your conduct in making so
public and unblushing an appeal to us
has practically been to hang your
wretched career on the tongue of the
great town bell, and its tolling sends
our disgrace abroad. Do you for
moment believe that we would con-
sent to your demands. You are
greatly in error to even entertain such
q hope. Your efforts will prove
fruitless here, our consciences would
reproach us should we countenance
your projects. 1t is difficult to
imagine how human being of the
educated high classes can sink so
deep, so terribly low, and yet we
have the lingering hope, there is a
faint possibility that another did the
horrible deed. We wish you the best,
but think that your advocates will be
Of little use to you. Spare yourself
further communications to us, to the
Nacks or to others. You have made
yourself and us unhappy for our en-
tire lives. Our shame is so great, so
terrible, that with bowed heads and
lowered eyes, we must pass our
neighbors by as we cannot look them
in the eyes. Adisu. May God abide
with you. ANNA.
