OUR NATIONAL GUARD.

It IL Not Increasing with Great Rapidly
Recommendations as to the Cavalry Branch
WASHINGTON, Nov. 2S-Capt. ID. NJ. Tay-
lor, Ordnance Department, who is charged
with the supervision of supplies Issued to
the militia. in his annual report to the Sec-
retary of War says that the increased in
terest in militia affairs caused by the
passage of the act of Feb. 12, 1887, has not
been apparently maintained so far as num-
bers show. The militia force Feb. 1, $780,
was 103 1872, 40 against 106. sos in Feb. ], 1885,
but this apparent decrease, it is thought, is
deceptive, owing to lack of reports from
some States known to possess an organized
militia. Florida, Louisiana, Mississippi
Dakota and Washington. which were un-
accounted for in the report, are known to
possess Gilt militia, which would make
the grand aggregate in 1890 100, ,469. or an
increase of 2. 1868 In one year. Captain Tay-
10y strongly urges the passage by Congress
of the pending bill to promote the efficiency
of the militia.
Captain Taylor also calls attention to the
disproportion in umbers between the cav
airy and the infantry militia. He says that
cavalry is one of the most difficult arms to
imprOvise, and some steps should be taken
to encourage the formation of new and to
foster existing cavalry organizations in the
national guard. He recommends that Con-
gress authorize and appropriate for the
placing in each State which has more than
5000 regularly organized militia, at such
and where stables and forage shall be pro-
vided at the expense of the State. of sutfi-
cient horses, not to exceed seventy-five for
each State, to mount troop of cavalry,
with q detachment OF regular cavalry SOL
diers to care for them. and with such nom
commissioned officers as may be competent
to act as instructors In riding and tactics.
THE necessity of reserve of horses in our
service. which we have not" Captain Tay-
!ors says, lis recognized in nearly IL
foreign countries. In Austria and
active service the horses are loaned by the
government to farmers to keep and pro-
duce when needed, and after certain
number of years, if they are not needed,
they become the property of the farmers.
as above suggested. would produce q
gratifying increase in the number and
efficiency of our cavalry militia"
Captain Taylor also touches upon the
feasibility of a horse census and of legisla-
tion to prevent the country being depleted
of the animals which will be urgently
needed in the event of war. At present
there is nothing to prevent foreign agents
from buying all of our available animals,
and undoubtedly at different times large
numbers have been shipped out Of the
country. The difficulty of obtaining suita-
BILE cavalry horses has alarmingly increased
in the past fifteen years. and the establish
ment of horse reserve and of government
breeding stations would seem to be matters
of first Importance when the possibilities
of war are regarded. Captain Taylor also
urges the passage of inc bill to authorize
the issue to the States and Territories of
field guns to encourage the formation of
artillery companies.

Cigar manufacturers have already felt
the effects of the Mckinley bill. and in
many of the factories the workmen have
had their wages raised from so cents to IS
per thousand. The w0rkmen say that the
cigar trade was never better than it Is at
present, and that all the factories are run

while voluntary on the part of the manu-

THE VERNON ROAD.
The New Motor Will Arrive Soon-De-
Scription of the Machine.

The new motor for the Los Angeles
and Vernon railway is nearly completed
and will be shipped to this city very
soon. Mr.. Yerkes, the president of the
North Division Railway Company in
Chicago, has had one ofthe naphtha mo-
tors of the same kind that it is proposed
to ship here, in use on his line for some
time, and has found it thoroughly salts
factory.
The following description of this mo-
tor is clipped from the Street Rail,Uay
Journals:
The peculiar mechanism by which
the power of the engine, which runs
continuously, is communicated to the
car aXles, enables a gradual start to be
made free from jar and jerk, and then
as soon as the car is in motion, trans
forms the energy from power into speed,
which at times reached twelve miles an
hour. The manner in which the engine
took the gas and the igniting device
seem to be perfect, and it was also no.
ticeable that although the engine is con-
stantly running, whether halt is made
or the car is in motion, it con-
sumes gas only in proportion to
the work it does, sometimes using it
only once in four or five revolutions.
This feature is undoubtedly an element
in the economical operation of the Con-
nelly motor, it being said that less than
gallon of naphtha is needed for an
hours run. At one point ON the line
six per cent grade occurs, but it seemed
to be no obstacle, the motor, towing
car, being able to ascend it apparently
with ease.
''The ordinary rumble of the cars on
the rails completely browns any noise
made by the machinery it being impos-
sible to hear it as the motor cars ap-
preached, although its windows were
open"
Frank A. Gibson, secretary of the
company, says that whenever this motor
arrives it will be possible to give the
people OF Vernon very satisfactory SER
vice. The Santa Fe has established an
agency at the corner of Vernon and
Central avenues.

Correspondence of the HERALD.
EDITORS HERALD-When the sight
hunters want to look for grand sights
they 60 away off to the Yosemite valley
to look for them, because they are away
off from home. But if they want to see
the gorgeous sunsets they can take a
drive out here to La Habra valley, to
Major Tolus's ranch, at East Whittier,
and see the sun departing beneath the
lowering sleeps of yonder mountains,
and see the gathering splendors of de-
parting day lighting up the heavens
with the effulgence of its lingering rays.
The few clouds that are visible in this
comparatively cloudless land float swan
like, as on the unfathomed depths of
cerulean sea. Watch the play of the ex-
quisite coloring upon them, as they
move slowly but majestically along q;
the sky reflects the hues of the precious
gems of the Celestial country so vividly
portrayed by the inspired revealer, but
which no artist can initiate, nor tongue
nor pen describe as it really appears.
There is a superb blending of colors
in that sublime display of the Creators
majesty and handiwork, as if it were a
crowning effort of the divine architect,
held nowhere save in the marvellous
light of a summer sunset in La Habra
valley.
Looking below the scene it is scarcely
less enchanting or lovely the whole val
ley is flushed by the imperial radiance
diffusing itself everywhere.
The rising hills which skirt the val
leys on either side, clad with evergreens
or by more delicate herbage, are
trenched by an indefnably rich car
mine glow. Lower down, the fields yell
low with ripening grains, are suffused
by the waning yet gorgeous light of the
sunset. The symetrical live oak, with
spreading branches and thick dark
foliage that dot the plains and hill
sides, the graceful palms, the
huge cacti, the handsome mad
roma, the light-leaved shrubs and
brilliant flowers growing luxuriantly and
in profusion, have caught the passing
glory and look like transformed images
of beauty. In wider sweep beyond the
purple haze as subtle drapery hangs
over the tops of yon mountains like a
misty gauze, and throws back mellow
light, lending peculiar charm to the
landscape.
But a scene so ravishing to the naked
eye, like the many beautiful things of
the earth, too soon passes away; the
glory has departed, the curtains of
evening gather silently around the
soft and witching twilight; a weird
like invisible presence is felt as
the shades gather closer and faster; the
gentle voice of nature grows fainter, un-
til all is hushed and the earth is finally
wrapped in the sable robes Of night not,
however, to efface from memory the un-
rivaled glories of the La Habra valley
sunset. j. B.

CHARGED WITH ASSAULT.
"A Young Girls Narrow Escape al
Pasadena.

Charles Stanley, a young man about 80
years of age, was lodged in the county
jail last night to await examination upon
the charge of having assaulted four
teen-year-old girl with intent to commit
rape, at Pasadena on Tuesday last.
The girl, who resides with her parents
in North Pasadena, was walking along
Los Robles avenue, near Villa street,
shortly before Z O'Clock p. m, when
Stanley, it is alleged, crept up behind
her and threw her down. The girls
screams attracted the attention of some
of the residents in the vicinity, as on
hearing their approach Stanley made
off. The girl, however, owing to the
fact that darkness had not set in, was
enabled to give detailed description of
her assailant, and Stanley was arrested
at Garvanza on Wednesday by Marshal
Peters, of South Pasadena, who turned
him oyer to Constable j. r. Slater, of
Justice Van Doren's court.
Stanley denies having attempted to
harm the girl in any way, claiming that
he merely asked her for some black
berries which she had in a basket; and
on her REFUSAL striking her on the head
and knocking her down.
