Invitations have been issued from the

opening of the Los Angeles, Pasadena
and Glendale railway. Trains will leave
the depot at the east end of Downey-
avenue bridge, at 10 O'Clock tomorrow
morning, and will leave Pasadena
to return to this city at or 6 O'Clock in
the afternoon. The invitations contain
each badge, which serves as a
ticket over the road and calls
for suitable entertainment at the
Pasadena end. The Southern Pacific
special excursion to Catalina which was
to have taken place today has been
postponed on account of the Pasadena
celebration.

Tne railroad Tax Gases Lost.


Tho Supreme Court of the State has
taken the same view that the U. 3. Cir
cult Court took in regard to the power OF
the State to apply different principle OF
taxation to the railroads from that
governing the taxation of other property.
The railroads claim, and the Courts con-
firm the claim, that if mortgages are, Tor
the purposes of taxation, an interest in
the property taxed, and can be deducted
from the assessed value Of the property
and taxed over to the mortgage, then
no different principle can be constitution
ally applied to railroad property, but
that the mortgage bonds must be taxed
separately and deducted from the value
of the property, as in the case OF private
individuals. This would seem to be
a finality. There is no way in which
this question can be further tested.
The railroads have gained their point in
all the courts, and the matter is now res
Gdudicata. That being the case, it will
be the duty Of the next Legisla-
ture to formulate an amendment to
the Constitution that will place rail-
road property on the same footing, as
Regards taxation, as individual property.
This will be a proper time to seriously
consider the question whether any bene
fetal object has been gained by taxing
mortgages. Practically the law works

BASE BALL.
A Game Spoiled by the Rain
Yesterday.


Yesterday.
The threatening aspect of the weather
discouraged the baseball enthusiasts
yesterday afternoon, and at 80 O'Clock
not more than two hundred spectators
had passed through the gates at the
Athletic park grounds. Those who
braved the elements we're doomed to
disappointment, however, as at the close
OF the second inning the rain came down
and effectually damped the spirits of
both players and spectators, and "time"
Robinson announced that rain checks
would be given to the spectators emitting
| them to admission this afternoon.
Cobb was put on to pitch for the Oak
lands with DUNCAN behind the bat,
Darby and Meneffee forming the battery
for the Angeleiios. Neither team scored
in the first innings, the local niae being
retired in short order. Goldie flew to
O'Neill, and Swan to Isaacson. Lohman
made safe hit, but tried to steal second
while Meneffee was at the bat and
failed. For the visitors, O'Neill went
out on fly to Swan. Brown and Dun
gan were awarded their bases on balls,
|
attempting to steal third base, and Hill
was struck out.
In the second innings, the local nine
scored the first and only tally. Meneffee
died on first; but Breckenridge made a
safe hit, reached second on Wards wild
throw, got to third on Holidays sacri.
fee, and came home on Brittain's base
hit. The latter WAS put out at first
while Young was at the bat.
The Oaklands again failed to tally
Mcdonald and Enell died on first, and
Isaacson few to Lohman. Time beins
called at this juncture on account of the
rain, the game stood in favor of the An
gelefios to nil.
Weather permitting, the same teams
will, play again this afternoon, and as
this will be, in all probability, the last
opportunity afforded to local enthusiasts
of seeing two such well-matched team
for some time to come. a large attend
ance may be confidently expected, sucl
as that of last Sunday. The Oakland
) are still unwilling to admit that the loca
boys can outplsy them, and are deter
mined to win their last game at all haz
,, ards, in order to redeem some, at least
of their lost reputation; and should tn

Metropolitan Exhibition Company
against the local Players League Club
was taken today, when Lawyer Duyes-
tern sent out notices to President
McAlpin, Vice-P President Talcott, Secre-
tary Robinson and other directors of the
New Yorks, limited, warning them to
keep their hands off the old Giant ball
players or take their chances of a lawsuit
for damages. This action on the part
of the League club had been antici-
psted for several days, and is not likely
to create any serious emotion among the
players hackers. They will go right
ahead with the work of constructing
grounds in preparation for the coming
hall season.

LAND LEAGUE DOOUMEN
Their Disappearance Explained by
the MAN who Burned Them.

CHICAGO, March S.-Michael Corcoran,
of Lincoln, Neb., has written letter to
the Inter Ocean, explaining why the
books and checks of the Irish Land
League were not produced before
the Parnell Commission in London.
Corcoran says Patrick Egan left these
papers with him in the Rioernisn Bank,
at Dublin, in 1883. Subsequently Egan
left fer America, and it seemed best to
him (Corcorsn) to have the books and
checks burned, though Egan in note
had assured him there was no treason in
them. Corcoran says it was his OWE
thought to burn them, without sugges-
ton from anybody else, and, if it was q
fault, it was his alone.

Hers is a strange story, Mr.. Allan.
win tell you. You must know that ali
these mountains and the country beyond
of about ten | used To wander about
good deal in tho hills and valleys, and
watch the balloons as they played among
the rocks. There was one family of ba-
boons that / watched espeeially-they
used to live in a kloof about mile from
the house. The old man baboon was
very large, and one of the females had
gray face But the reason why watched
them so much was because / saw that
they had with them creature that
looked like girl, for her skin was quite
white, and, what was more, that she was
protected from the weather when 1T hap
pened to be cold by fur belt of some
sort, which she tied round her throat.
For nearly whole summer |
watched this particular white-skinned
baboon till at last my curiosity quite
overmastered me. noticed that, though
she climbed about the cliffs with the
other monkeys, at a certain hour little
before shutdown they used to put her
into little cave, while the family went
off somewhere to get food, to the mealIe
fields, / suppose. Then | got an idea
that | would catch this white baboon
and bring IL home. But of course |
could not do this by myself, so took
Hottentot--a very clever man when he
was not drunk-who lived on the stead,
into my confidence. IIe was called Hem
dirk, and was very fond of me; but ror
long while he would not listen to my
plan, because he said that the babyans
would kill us. All last bribed him with
a knife that had four blades, and one
afternoon We started Hendrix carrying
a stout sack made of hide, with rope
running through it so that the mouth
could be drawn tight.
"Weil, we got to the place, and, hid
ing ourselves carefully in the trees at the
foot of the kloof, watched the balloons
playing about and grunting to each 9th
er, till at length, according to custom,
they took the white one and three other
little babies and put them in the cave.
Then the old man came out, looked
carefully round, called to his family and
went of with them over the brow of the
kloof. Now, very slowly and cautiously
we crept up over the rocks till we came
to the mouth of the cave and looked in.
All the four little balloons were fast
asleep with their backs towards us. and
their arms around each others necks,
the white one being in the middle.
Nothing could have been better for our
plans Hendrick, who by this time had
quite entered into the spirit of the
thing, crept into the cave like snake,
and suddenly dropped the mouth of the
hide bag over the head OF the white ba-
boon. The poor little thing woke up
and gave violent jump, which caused
it to vanish right into the bag. Then
Hendrix pulled the string tight, and to-
gether we knotted it so that 1t was i'm
possible for our captive to escape. Mean
while the other baby balloons h ID rushed
from the cave screaming, and when we
got outside they were nowhere to be
seen.

babyan will soon be back He had shout.
