THE particulars sent on by telegraph
of the dimensions of the President
Pratt, now in process of completion for
the government of Chile in France,
show her to be very formidable war
ship. She is indeed great armored
war vessel, to be provided with the
heaviest guns, and of speed OF
IL knots. According to the details
of her armament she outclasses any
vessel we now have in our navy, or any
that we have under way. 1t is said that
the Pratt is launched and afoat, and
can be got ready for sea in very short
time. 1t would undoubtedly be well for
the administration at Washington to
keep its eye on this immense messenger
of war. aud if we are to have hostilities
with the peppery republic of South
America it might be of considerable mo-
ment to 80 time their Inauguration
that this dangerous ironclad could be
bottled up in France.

If ALL signs are not deceiving this
winter, we are on the verge of a most
propitious rain season. The atmosphere
is charged with moisture that wants to
pour down on us just as badly as we
want it to come. 1t has been baffled
and held back in it's good intent by that
atmospheric diablo, the north wind.
But he seems to have had his day. The
south and east have rallied their aerial
forces and taken possession of the upper
levels. If they will only hold their
ground-or their grip-in space, Jupiter
Pluvius will assert his power and deal
out his treasures upon us copiously. A
good soaking rain may be ours at any
moment. Indeed, as we write, it is driz-
zling nicely, and working in way that
betokens its intention OF getting a lively
"move" on it just as soon as possible.
What magnificent New Years present
it would be to us to have, say, two or
three inches of rain in the next fifty or
sixty hours. That would solve the agri
cultural problem completely; for with
that much moisture in the soil every
plow - single, double, quadruple and
gang-in the country would be put at
work. Give us these few inches of rain
now, or within a few days, and we
would not exchange the crop prospects
Of this season for any we have had in
the last decade. Why, it will just be a
phenomenal season of growth and yield.
Two hours later-It is pouring at a
lively rate.

THIS is the country of special cars. and
this is their season. A large percentage
of the tourists who come to Southern
California travel in these land yachts,
and the big-salaried eastern railroad
officials find it convenient 10 roll out
here in their railway homes. Already
these palaces on wheels are numerous
on the side-tracks. The more the bet
ter, for their inhabitants are well-pro-
vided with the wherewithal to have q
good time and spend money lavishly,
all of which rebounds to the profit of
our thrifty, semitropic people.

THE decision of the New York court of
appeals yesterday has Knocked the Re-
publican party galley west, and filled the
leaders OF the e. o. p. with consterna-
tion. By this ruling the New York
senate for the first time in many years
is Democratic, and the will OF the
majority of the people of the great
Empire state will no longer be thwarted.
In political sense the decision is one OF
the most important that has ever been
made in contests OF this kind. 1t not
only places the Democrats in complete
control of the executive and legisla-
tive departments of the state govern
ment, but it gives them a decided
advantage in the next presidential
campaign. 1t is only necessary now
for the new legislature to re-apportion
the state on just and equitable basis,
in order to perpetuate the Democrats in
power, and it can be depended upon
that this will be done. Not only the
state of New York, but the nation is to
be congratulated that the Infamous
Rerrymander which so long kept the
senate in the control of the minority
party, and outraged the will of the ma
iorlty, is broken. With none but Dem.

SENIOR RAMON VEL, despite the sound
of his name, has considerable discretion.
He is prominent Chilean, and he ad-
vises his government to submit Chile's
differences with this country to arbitra-
ton. That is very good advice for Chile,
but the United States has throughout
maintained that the Baltimore incident
was an insult to our flag. Breaches of
international law may be arbitrated, but
it is not consistent with the generally
accepted view of the dignity of nations
to submit an insult to arbitration.

IN SOCIETY.

The approaching nuptials OF Miss Do
minguez and Mr.. John f. Francis, will
be the social event of the season. Miss
Anna Carson will be the bridesmaid,
while the maids of honor will be Miss
Mary Workman, Miss Emma Childs,
Miss frankie Alexander and Miss Mi
riam Patterson.
The two little nieces of the bride, the
Misses Lucy and Victoria Carson, will
be charming pages.
Mr.. Francis's best man will be Mr..
Harry G. Wyman, and the ushers will
be made up of Boyle Workman, ]. De
Barth Shorb, jr.. Charles Forman, jr.,
and Robert L Watson.
Immediately after the ceremony,
which takes place at 1890 Saturday
morning, there will be wedding break
fast and reception at the brides home,
to the relatives and immediate friends OF
the contracting parties.
The newly married couple will leave
the same day for an extended trip to
several of the northern watering places,
and in April will 60 to Europe, on their
return making their home in this city,
a fact which delights their host Of
friends.
The cozy little auditorium of the Lud-
lam school Y. M. G. A. building, was
crowded to overfowing by the audience
which assembled to listen to the excel
lent rendition of selections from the
Messiah, under the direction of Mrs. j.
D. Cole, on Monday evening.
The singers and chorus were entirely
under the control of the baton OF Mrs.
Cole, who trained them most excel
lently, and to her is due largely the sue
cess of the affair.
The programme was opened with a
recitative by the tenor, j. P. Dupuy.
The part WAS we'll done. The singer
evidently posses high range.
Mr.. A. S. Abbott followed with
recitative with air. He has rather a
pleasing voice; is good at times, and
sustains note very well.
The contralto solo of Miss Edith Gardner
was well sung, although the young lady
was evidently very nervous. The chorus

PERHAPS, after all, the cruiser San
Francisco is destined to remain in these
waters, and that she will be kept at San
Diego to defend that port in case of war
and the escape of one OF Chile's iron
clads to ravage this part of California.
This would be good precautionary
move on the part of the government;
and if our guess has fact behind it, the
conclusion would be that the admins

Mr.. Oscar M. Klepper next rendered
bass solo. His voice is strong, not
flexible.
For Us Child is Born, the chorus
following, was very good.
In the pastoral symphony Miss Grace
Cochran did well. She possesses very
pleasing voice. Miss Lizzie Kimball
was also excellent in her selections.
Her upper register being very clear at
times. Mrs. j. d. Hooker rendered
most charmingly the contralto part.
Mrs. J. d. Cole also sang He was Des-

S. Walton sang finely and with good eff
feet.
The quartette of Miss Grace Cochran,
Mr.. G. S. Walton, Mrs. j. d. Hooker
and Mr.. A. s. Abbott was excellently
given.
o Holy Night, was sung by Mr.. Wal
ton in the place of Mrs. Gerhardi. It
was rendered very effective by the
chorus being behind the scenes and the
room being darkened.
Altogether it was very creditable af-
fair both to Mrs. Cole and the partici-
pants.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Robbins OF Pearl
street last evening received the party
calls of those who attended their recep

The house was illuminated from roof
to cellar. and everything was combined
to renew the pleasure of the first recep-
tion.
The main part of the guests came en-
masse, their number being augmented
during the evening by gradual influx
of late corners.
Dancing was INDUCED in by the young
people, while the older ones sought
pleasure in conversation. Dainty re-
freshments were served during the
evening.
As the affair partcok of an informal
reception the guests every one made it
point to become acquainted, as is al
ways the case at such time.
Mrs. Robbins most gracefully received,
and spared no pains for the comfort and
enjoyment of her guests.
Mr.. Robbins, who has been confined
to his room with the grip, was able to
be up and to help receive the company.

How 10 Il Done at the Observatory ~
Washingtea.
The observatory does not reckon its
''fxed" stars. which are so far of that
their position with relation to the earth
does not change appreciably within q
few months or years. Star time is the
only true time, therefore. The oper.
ator looks through big telescope and
watches for a given star that he knows
to cross the plane of the meridian. As
1t crosses he records what moment it
does 90. as shown by star time clock
with twenty-four hour dial. Then
he consults printed table that shows
him at just what number of hours,
minutes and seconds the star In ques-
ton must actually have crossed the
meridian plane.
The table Is right, and by as much as
the star time clock differs from it. the
latter is wrong. No attempt is made to
set the star clock right allowance be-
ing simply made in subsequent calculas
ton for the errCr thus discovered,
which amounts only to q fraction of q
second in some days Next the cor
rooted time, as taken from the star
clock, is reduced to sun tine. which re-
quires some figuring, inasmuch as the
star year Is one day longer than the
sun year. A sun time or standard"
time clock stands close by. and the
amount that this varies from the truth
having been ascertained, allowance Is
made for the error in sending the noon
stroke all over the country
At the observatory all the chronom.

with three first-class chronometers, as
well as one that is half used up. called

rough service generally. 1t takes
twenty-one weeks of testing TO prop
erly regulate and prove a chronometer,
and part of the trial consists in subject
ing the instrument to the action of cold
in an ice box and to heat communicated
through steam pipes Each chronome-
ter when given out is accompanied by q
chart telling just how IL will vary under
certain temperature. A curious exhibit
now shown at the observatory includes
