AMUSEME NTS.

Those who remember the charming
performances of the Lyceum theater
company upon their two previous visits
to Los Angeles, when with their excel
lent playing in The Wife and Sweet Law
ender they presented quality of dra-
matte work such as had not been seen
in this city for many years, will be
pleased to hear that they will visit Los
Angeles Immediately after their present
engagement at the Baldwin theater, San
Francisco. 1t is two years since they
have been to the Pacific coast, and con-
sequently they come with repertory-
the result of that time at their home
theater-which is entirely new here.
They will open at the Grand opera house
Tuesday, August 1lth and the first play
will be The Charity ball. The company
will also produce The Idler during the
engagement, and will give at least one
performance Of that charming old COM
edy, Old Heads and Young Hearts.
There will be matinee ON Saturday.

Colonel Crocker Makes an Interesting
Statement About Southern Pacific
Business Extensions Under
Way-News Notes.

''The Southern Pacific railroad" said
Colonel Fred Crocker to a San Francisco
Examiner reporter, "has a surplus of
.$lS5, 1896 for the first six months OF the
year, and this is the very first time that
we have made money in a correspond
ing period. From the Pacific system
during the month of June we received
So, 1854, and in the Atlantic system
1892 1926, making total of $4,O51, $50,
while last year in these systems in the
same month we made only $3,S97 ,492,
which gives us an. increase of $I54, ,4SS
over last year.
"Our operating expenses that month
were $1,74l,257 in the Pacific system
and $752,447 in the Atlantic system,
total of 50, 493, ,704, against total last
year of $2,546, 1882, leaving decrease of
$52,32S.
During the past six months the rail
roads earnings have been SIG, ,677 ,635
for the Pacific system, and So 1888, 1896 for
the Atlantic, giving total of $22,6l1,-
531. OF course this includes all the
steamship lines and the New Orleans
branches. Last year the first six months
brought in $21 900, ,662 only, which gives
an increase of 81, ,0l0,869.
''The operating expenses of the COM
pany were $1,000, ,44S in the Pacific
system and 1867, ,22S in the Atlantic,
giving total of $14, ,S56,676. Last year
the total operating expenses were $751;
506, ,253, or just $649, ,577 more.
Gas to other charges there were
$6,273,S75 in the Pacific system and
81, 1,229,605 in the Atlantic, making
total OF 81 7,569,56O, against last years
total OF 81 ,453, ,76S, which is an increase
of $115,792. These charges include the
payment of the interest on the bonds of
the road, which, OF course, consumes
most OF the amount.
''But with all that there was sur
plus this year in the first six months of
$185 295, against deficit last year in
the same time of 81 1853, ,359.
''The balance sheet up to June 30th of
this year shows the follwing table of
figures. 1t must be understood, how
ever, that the words surplus and de
fcit' used in the statement just now
mean the net balance after providing
for all the fixed charges and the Central
Pacific railroad dividend, and before the
division of the net profits to the several
companies:

Mr.. Hise, of the Gurney Company,
Proves Good Lawyer.
J. M. Wilson, foreman of the Gurney
cab company, was arrested yesterday
morning on the charge of resisting a
dog-catcher. The dog-catcher went into
the gurney corral, at the Richmond
stables, and seized the company's watch
dog. Mr.. Wilson rescued the animal,
hence the charge.
Mr.. John II. Hise, the manager OF the
Gurney cab company, took charge Of
the case, and after a skillful examina-
ton of the witnesses, and making a
strong argument, convinced Justice
Austin that the dog-catcher was in the
wrong, and Mr.. Wilson was ordered dis
charged.
Everybody wants the city cleared of
the numerous ours which infest it, but
the dog-catchers have no right to go
onto private premises and take dogs.
In this state dogs are property and no
one has right to take them from their
owners.

that the passenger traffic or the freight
profit would pay.
"You see, we have never been able to
build branch railroad out of the profits
of the company, but we have been COM
PEELED to issue bonds for all of them. So
you see why We are not so enthusiastic
in thrusting branch lines this way and
that"
For the first time in many months
freight men report business as dull.
The Southern Pacific company has is

The offices of the San Joaquin Valley

Money Letters Lost in the Mail.

There has been more than one let

Wilmington, Del, via the Baltimore

agent enclosed $500. about ten days

five O'Clock mail north, but the letter
has never been heard of since.
Another letter by different party
enclosing similar amount went the
same way. This letter reached its
destination but the money had been
distracted. 1t is not advisable to
enclose bank notes in letters but they
are safe as postal notes. 1t is the

The Journal of the Knights OF
Labor says:
Now you farmers who sold your
last years crops for less than the
cost of raising them to get money to
meet interest and other obligations
rejoice and be exceeding glad, for the
price of the produce you sold has
gone away up. And be not cast
down, the same thing will happen
this year, and the next, and the year
after. and forever, if you will only
turn 3 deaf ear to those pestilent
agitators who would make you dis
satisfied with your lot and with the
dear old parties of which you are SO
proud.
Adair County Farmer, Kirksyille,
Mo-, says:
The leaders of the old parties have
agreed to fight the battle on tariff
issues ignoring other questions. The
farmers and labor organizations are
determined to make:the fight on three
issues: land, transportation and
finance. The reform newspapers
number over twelve hundred, and
daily increasing. They are a unit on
these issues and are not going to be
side tracked by conspirators. The
leaders are willing tools ofmonopoIy,
both Republicans and Democrats,
have virtually united and in concert
are making war upon the farm and
labor interests. They have the
money, and the great laboring peo-
pie are patriotic and determined. If
the people stand firm and united, the
enemy can only retreat as pack of
wolves vanish before the horny
handed tiller of the soil, as he adj
vances on the wilds Of new and
unsettled country.
The Farmers and Laborers Friend,
Bonneville, Ind, says:
When the Wall street bankers were
in close circumstances on account of
loans on real estate in the West, the
government opened the vaults of the
United States treasury and supplied
them. When expositions are talked
of, our legislators vote large appro.
priations to them. When railroads
are to be built our legislators loan
them the credit of the nation, besides
giving them large tracts of land; but
when the people, who are in distress
on account of the failure in crops or
lower prices for their products, ask
for q loan, then a howl IS made that
it is unconstitutional"
The Alliance Dispatch, Windfall,
Ind. says:
A limited volume of currency in
creases the purchasing power of
money, and consequently brings low
prices. Foreign capitalists are TAX
ing advantage of these conditions in
our country, and buying largely in
stocks, etc. And now, in place Of
having simply to multiply the mil
lions of American capitalists. the
suffering and toiling people must
begin to pile up millions for the
foreign capitalist. What do you
think of this, We toilers from dawn
till dark for a bare living?

showing that this animal lives to the
age of at least $50 years.

Misses Maggie Johnson, Minnie and
Nettie Brickley, Nettie Lynch, Carrie
Hambleton, Katie Clifford and Carrie
Cameron being especially noteworthy.
The singing was of high order through

The collections for special charities

the children amounted to over S45.OO.
Howard Brickley who collected the
largest amount was presented with a
handsome bible by Rev. Isaac Wood,
