A Boom for the "Bee. ,
[Marysville Daily Appeal. |

The Rev. A. T. Needham, Methodist
pastor of Sacramento, has given the REC
ORD UNION notice that he will decline TO
receive the Sunday edition of that paper,
because he is opposed to Sunday papers.
He observes that Monday paper n,ay he
published without Sundays work, but
seven papers week cannot"
This is very amusing in the reverend
gentleman. He ought to know that by far
the greater part of the work on a Monday
morning paper must of necessity be done
on Sunday, and likewise that of Sunday
morning paper on Saturday. AS the
RECORD UNION has taken pains to make
this fact plain to the good pastor. it should
be in order for him to stop his Monday
morning paper also.
By reading the Saturday and Monday
issues of the ungodly Evening Bee, Mr..
Needham could dispense with the pious
RECORD UNIONS Sunday and Monday is.
sues, and still keep up with the march OF
events. In fact, his rebuke to the morning
papers Sunday issue may start a mild
Methodist boom for the Bee. The latter
has successfully resisted all emptations to
print Sunday edition, and on the Sabbath
its office is as silent as the grave, the greater
portion of the force usually attending base
ball service in the afternoon. and stead
lastly abstaining from Sunday work, while
the REcoRD-UNIoN compositors are putting
Sunday sermons in type for the Monday
morning paper.

TRIAL OF THE CRUISER.
To-Day the Charleston VIII Make Her
Trial of Speed,

SANTA BARBARA, May 9th.-It has been de-
cided that the cruiser Charleston will weigh
anchor and start south tomorrow morning
The mechanical engineers employed by the
Union Iron Works have been working over the
crosshead, which developed some fiction early
Tuesday, to remove any rough portions, and
provided the engines work as smoothly as dur
ing the final run to this point, the forced
draught will be employed upon the engines
and the ship be driven at full speed in the at
tempt to demonstrate the horsepower of her
compound engines.
This final test will only be entered upon in
working condition, and If it is not the cruise
will be protractei for one day longer before
putting the engines to the supreme test.
The testing point will probably be from the
point off Ventura north to Point Conception,
and. If the trial does not meet with the full ex-
pectation of the builders and the Naval Board
a return may be made to this harbor Other
wise the ship will probably proceed ON her way
north. The Government engineers have esti-
mated that the maximum horse power devel-
oped yesterday was about 5000, which drove
the ship by comparative records beyond the
speed required by the English-buiit cruisers.
for Japan under similar conditions. According
to the published reports the maximum speed
required by the Charleston being in excess of
fourteen knots the engines of the Charleston
making seventy revolutions, pushed the ship to
the speed OF thirteen knots, while the compan-
ion ship in the Japanese navy with seventy-two
revolutions made less than twelve knots If the
engines work smoothly as during the con-
Guiding portion of the southwark run, the feel
ing appears 10 prevail among those in charge OF
the ship that she will meet the Government re-
QuireInents of 1000 horsepower.

George Ohleyer's Opinion of the Crop
Prospects.

be benefited more than that. so that since the
winter sown and summer fallow are in abou
equal proportion this season, the general result
of the late rains will be an improvement in the
crop. He says the north wind for the past few
days destroyed all the danger of rust which is o
rare occurrence here and that the present indi
