JAY GOULD signalizes his acquisition
of control OF the Union Pacific with a
declaration that will fall upon ears of
the people of this coast like an evil por-
tent. He says that there should be no
more railroad building in the west for
five years. He declares that there are
enough roads now in operation for the
business, and the policy ought to be to
do with these until they are all made
profitable. The idea is that roads have
been built in the west in advance of de-
velopment and population. This being
the case, Mr.. Gould's policy is doubtless
that which has been recently outlined,
that is, to increase the rates so as to
make the roads pay dividends at once.
The result will be that sparse popula-
tions that have been prematurely ia
vored with roads will have to make up
in rate exactions for the previousness OF
the road-builders, and they will have to
pay just as much in the aggregate for
the service as if they were densely pop
ulous. That will be an interesting pol
icy to the poor fellows who fall under
ius oppression.

AMUSE MENTS.
Miss Morris as Miss Mutton at the
Los Angeles.

Miss Morris as Miss Mutton at the
Los Angeles.
Last night Miss Morris appeared to
better advantage in Miss Mutton than
she has on any previous evening OF the
engagement she is playing this week at
the Los Angeles. The play is a French
version of the well-known story embodied
in the novel East Lynne, which is so
familiar to all readers of English, both
in the novel and in the play. 1t is very
much transformed in its French dress,
but is still terrible story of sin and
crime. The advantage Miss Morris has
in this play is that it does not call for
the presence of decidedly young girl
on the stage, as most OF tine
roles she is playing does. There
is great deal of very strong
work demanded in the piece, which
opens up opportunities for the star to
develop her best artistic gifts. Her
sorrows and her repentance, her yearn-
ing to embrace her children and be
known as their mother, the instincts of
the woman and the best emotions of
motherhood are portrayed by Miss Nor
ris as if it all were real. There will be
no matinee at TINS mouse To-Day, ana TO-
night Camille will be presented.
The Grand.
A good house assembled again last
night at the Grand to see the Trans
Atlantiques, who have made favorable
hit in Los Angeles. There will be a
matinee this afternoon, and the usual
performance this evening at this house.
Both houses will be open next week.
The laughter compelling U and / will
be seen at the Grand Opera house. Gus
Williams and John T. Kelly have struck
financial boom in the new play. Miss
Florrie West, the clever soubrette of the
company. is said to be unequaled in
the character of Babette, her singing,
dancing aud acting being OF a high
order.
Professor Gentry and his large COM
pany of dogs and horses will appear at
the new Los Angeles theater one week,
beginning December lst.
The San Francisco papers, including
the Call and Chronicle, speak with en-
thusiasm of this show.

SIMPLE ASSAULT.

A. H. v. Sinden is Let OFF Very
Easy.
The trial of A. H. V. Sinden for at
tempting to kill Albert Rasmus was re-
sumed yesterday. A. B. Lawson, the
noted detective, in whose employ Sin
den had been, testified to his good char
acter.
The defendant was then placed on the
stand, and told his story. He recited
his acquaintance with Mr.. and Mrs.
Rasmus, and that he had called on Mrs.
Rasmus the night OF the shooting, but
seeing Rasmus was there and firing OF
waiting for his departure, he left. He
said:
II turned and walked north, intend
ing to take a street car down town.
When between between Thirteenth and
Fourteenth streets, blue-line car came
along and boarded it, taking seat on
the rear platform. After riding for a
short distance l noticed Rasmus occu-
pied the seat on the opposite side of the
platform from me. | intended to go out
to Pasadena, but when the Car reached
the corner OF Spring and Sixth streets l
determined to see friend of mine.
81 did not wish to pass in front of
Rasmus, and not being able to get off
the side was on passed inside the car
and out on the footboard. As l passed
inside the car l saw Rasmus draw his
pistol. The gun flashed in the electric
light. l am pretty quick with my gun,
and drew it and fired without taking
any aim. l jumped from the car and
walked up Sixth to Broadway"
The jury being out but short time,
returned verdict against the defendant
of simple assault.

THANKSGIVING AND GOOD CHEER.

Everybody likes the festival OF
Thanksgiving. 1t is as welcome to the
sinner as the saint. 1t possesses SUBJ
stantial as well as spiritual merit, and
that makes it popular all round. Its
New England origin kept it only in pro-
vincial favor for a long time and if its
observance had been confined only to its
religious feature, it would in all proba-
bility have stayed there. But how could
you bound the march of roast turkey
and mince pies? What could limit the
good cheer of Thanksgiving family
gathering 70 the section where the Pill
grims landed? Nothing. When Thanks
giving Day was invented it possessed
within itself the germ of a wonderful ex-
pansion. 1t spread from the farm to the
hamlet, from the hamlet to the village,
and from the village to the city. 1t
went west and it grew up with the coun-
try, and now it can boast that 'no pent-
up Utica confines its powers" but that
a whole broad continent belongs to it.
Indeed. it has crossed the Atlantic and
has many admirers and observers
amongst the effete monarchies OF
Europe.
But, seriously, it is beautiful festi-
val. Can we conceive of more touch
ing or delightful custom than day set
apart upon which all the members of a
family shall meet to offer up thanks to
the Glver OF all Good for the bounties
He has bestowed upon them during the
year, and to greet each other around the
teeming family board? The pleasures
of these annual meetings form the
brightest and most memorable mile
posts in the journey of life. 1t is no
wonder that a custom so full of pathos
and the sweetest delights that can come
to us poor mortals should have burst
from its original limited theater and
taken possession of the whole country.
Let us not forget, however, that whilst
many of us have been blessed with
plenty and are fortunate enough to be
able to celebrate Thanksgiving with all
the good things usual to the occasion,
that there are those amongst us who
have been so hardly dealt with by a
cruel fortune that the day has no
joys for them. We should not for
get these poor creatures on this day. We
should at least help them from our
abundance so that they may for one day
feel that all the world is kin. Sweet
charity should be about on this day
and wherever there is stricken heart
to cheer, a sinking soul to lift up, a
child of misfortune to help, a poverty
oppressed family to relieve, we should
not fail to find them out and do our best
to brighten the gloom that surrounds
them, give the words of comfort and the
substantial aid which they SO sorely
need. Those who do this will have a
relish for their Thanksgiving dinner
which no artificial appetizer could possi-
bly, give them.

mind the fact that there are such places
as Santa Barbara, Los Angeles and San
Diego, as well as Pensacola, Jacksonville
and Mobile. There is something in this
matter that is worthy of their most care
full consideration. The tide of travel
that will set in westward if half the
present schedule rates should be adopted
would gladden. the heart of the managers
of every railway that has ramifications
to California, and especially to Southern
California.

No INTELLIGENT man is ignorant of the
great service that the railways have
been to the Pacific coast, and particu-
larly to Southern California. But at the
same time, there is general feeling that
the railways would make much more
money than they do now if they would
adopt popular rates to this coast. The
transcontinental roads, one and all,
would do good thing if, in their invita-
tions to tourists, they should bear in

THE national board OF managers of the
several soldiers homes of the United
States pulled into Santa Monica at AS
p. m. yesterday. They were in charge
OF Governor elect Markham, and as they
entered the town Ex-Governor Stoneman
mounted the ingoing train. This was,
to a certain degree, reminder OF the
French byword, "The king is dead, live
the king" Governor Markham can
scarcely claim to re-enter public life
with anything like the acclaim that
greeted Stoneman, with his twenty-five
thousand majority. Yet the latter re-
tired from Office with no unusual clamor
for his denomination. The attempt
to start the governor-elect on
an easy grade for the vice
presidential nomination seems to
have been handicapped by Creed
Haymond's lately developed ticket of
Blaine and Stanford. But to return to
our muttons The gentlemen who com
pose this board must have been some
what surprised to find that they pulled
up to the very edge of old ocean on the
26th of November, with every sugges-
tion around them of mid-June day.
We do not know whether or no they had
courage enough to plunge into the bill
lows, but we do know that at midnight
OF the 25th inst, a merry party disported
themselves in the waves in front of the
Hotel Arcadia; and we can add that the
writer, as the eastern visitors pulled
into the town, had just emerged from
most delightful swim in the "briny."
Such facts speak volumes about climate.

I remember joke played on Col Joshua
Carpenter, native OF Paris, think, but
then a resident and neighbor Of my father in
the town Of Lincoln. Carpenter had man
at work for him haying by the name Of Par
lin. Parlin pitched on and Carpenter laid
the loads Of hay One day the man who put
up the hay observing hornets nest on a
bush carefully plugged up the entrance to
the nest with hay, cut the bush and rolled
the nest up in a bunch Of hay Parlin, sep
arating the bunch TO pile on a part at a
time, observed the nest, turned the hay back
quickly and put the whole bunch up to Car
penter, who in turn uncovered the nest and
also drew out the stopper. Observing the
nest and the hornets he quickly threw it of
the load in the direction Of the oxen, who,
being assaulted by the hornets, started on a
run for the barn, overturning the load on
the way. Carpenter jumped from the load
when they started and landed near the nest,
spraining one Of his ankles severely and re
ceived one of the warmsst Of receptions from
the hornets. -Lewiston Journal.
