But the police were not able to come up

Asleep On the Rails.

The life of the tramp is to great ex.
tent: an exciting one, especially when
the wanderer succeeds in obtaining
enough of the stimulating fluid to make
himself careless as to his surroundings.
A good instance in point occurred early
yesterday morning in the Southern Pa
cifc yards. The switch engine was in the
performance of it's duty engaged in haul
ing box cars on to spur at the back OF
the yards, and the engineer saw black
object stretched across the rails ahead
He stopped in time and found that the
obstacle was nothing more nor less than
a man, who was evidently in drunken
stupor. When aroused he was quite in
dignant that his sleep should have been
disturbed, but he quieted down when the
advisability of summoning one of the
police force was mentioned and betook

SCHOOL RECEPTION,

The Closing Exercises of the
McPherrOn Academy.
McPherron Academy closed a very suc-
cessful term yesterday, and an informal
reception by the faculty had been an
nounced for last night, but owing to the
rain only limited number of the pupils
and friends of the school were able to
get out. The few who gathered in the
cosy parlors of the school building at 526
Grand avenue had pleasant time, but
the programme of literary and musical
exercises which had been prepared for
the evening was postponed, to be
gwen at some more suspicious time.
The attendance of the Academy
increased during the term from 35 to so.
The faculty now consists of six teachers,
with Prof. H. A. Brown, of st. Louis,
principal. A popular feature of the
school is its military drills. which are
given under the direction Of G. D. Will
bur, q graduate OF the Naval Academy
at Annapolis. Mr.. Wilbur is teacher of
mathematics in the school; Miss M. j..
Chapman has charge of the primary de-
partment; Mrs. g. J. King, the prepara-
tory department; Miss Asbury Kent is
teacher of music, and Mrs. H. A. Brown

THE RAILS ARRIVE.
Business Meant by the Cuyamaca
Road People.


At the Santa Fe office here it is stated
that the first of the sixty-five carloads OF
rails for the Cuyamaca road has arrived
and that the others will follow closely
afterwards. 1t is also said that agents
for the road have contracted for from 6O0,-
900 to 100000 ties to be delivered within
six months and that three steam ships
laden with them are already en- route.
This number of ties would be sufficient
to build about 250 miles of road, and
there is no doubt that business is
meant as contracts have been made with
Chinese companies for from 500 to 1000
mongolians to be sent from Los Angeles
and San Francisco directly after the new
year. Whether these laborers are for
the Cuyamaca road or not it is hard to
say, however, as the projected road from
San Diego to San Quentin, via Ensenada,
is also to commence construction after
the holidays.
1t is generally understood that the
Cuymaca road, which is beng built by
Governor Waterman and his associates
eastward from San Diego, has been sold

the Union Pacific, the Rock Island, ano
the st. Louis and San Francisco roads
being mentioned in connection with the
affair. The original intention of the line
was to meet the Southern Pacific road
somewhere about Dos Palmos, in which
case it would connect with the Colorado
river somewhere about Ehrenburg, if a
direct line was followed. 1t is now
claimed, however, that the road is to be
continued on through the Colorado val.
ley lands to beyond the Needles, where
according to the San Diego people, q
junction will be made with some over
land road.

The New prop Curtain.

EDITORS HERALD Il was glad to see
your explanation of the inscription on
the drop curtain at the new Los Angeles
Theatre. 1t set me to investigating the
subject, and l have found that you are
slightly mistaken in supposing that the
inscription is meant for the Synagogue
| of David" 1t is true taat "neby,"
or "nebbee" or "nebi" could be used in
Arabic for synagogue" or any holy
place or temple; but in this instance it
applies only TO the term "prophet, -
which is one OF the translations you give.
The picture represents the tomb of the
Prophet David. which is near the Zion
gate of Jerusalem. Rabbi Joseph
Schwarz, in his great work upon Pales-
tine, says that at present Jerusalem has
five gates, one of which is the Zion gate
a. the south, on Mount Zion. 1t is also
called Bah al Chalil. (gate of Isaac,
"the beloved,") and "Bab Nebi Dauid,
gate of the Prophet David, from the fact
that King David lived at Zion and is
entombed there" l think that settles
the question as to the meaning of the in.
scription and the design. But what, in
the name OF all the Prophets at once,
sent the artist to the Holy Land to
David's tomb for subject for his drop
curtain? What association is there be
tween the slayer of Goliah and the mod.
ern drama that his tomb should glare at
an audience between the acts? There is
certainly nothing suggestive of "the
argument of play" in scene which
would become the walls of church
much more appropriately than the act
curtain of theatre. AS the design was
executed by Mr.. Moses, of Chicago, the
name of the author offers clue to the
inspiration of the subject. 1t was nat
ural that Nebi Moses should associate
his fame with that of Nebi Dadd.

THE NEW RATES.
Hlr. @. +. Smurr's Reasons fO
their Advancement.


Mr.. G. F. Smurr, Assistant Freight
and Passenger Agent of the Southern
Pacific, returned to town yesterday
morning, looking in remarkably good
health. Mr.. Smurr has been in attend
ance at the deliberations of the Trans
continental Association at Chicago,
whose DEGREES regarding new rates were
issued TO the public yesterday. The
HERALD man asked Mr.. Smurr how it
was that they had advanced the rates
and received the naive reply, $50 as to
increase our revenue. We can, OF
course, remedy afterwards any mis-.
takes that we may have made
continued the railroad official, "and
we have taken good care to
be on the right side, as it is easier
to fall down than to get up. The way in
which alterations can now be made is as
follows: The shippers must first send
to Chairman Leeds of the Association a
statement of their particular grievances,
and if upon investigation he finds that
they have cause for complaint he will
submit the matter in question to the
managers of all the roads and by a
unanimous vote the rates may be
changed
t'There is sure to be kick about the
advance in orange rates." suggested the
scribe.
"We have not advanced the rates
on those quoted in the Sep
tember tariff" said Mr.. Smurr,
though l must Of course admit that
they are ahead of last years charges,
this being, as have before stated, to
secure better revenue"
do you know anything about the set
tlement of the Southwestern war ?"
asked the Scribe.
"I know that such thing is in con-
temptation" was the reply, 'but do
not think anything has been done as yet.
The Southwestern roads have been work
ing in opposition to each other for some
time past and settlement of their griev-
ances will undoubtedly be settled by an
increase in rates, though this will not
directly affect the residents of the Pacific
| Coast"
