THE EUROPEAN ROUTE.

II seems incredible that San Francisco
merchants should find it cheaper to ship
goods by the European route than 10 send
them direct across the continent or round
Cape Horn. Such, however, seems to be
the case. There Is case now pending in
which the right of foreign vessel to bring
freight from an Eastern port to San Fran
cisco by way oil Europe is the pnin. at issue
OF course the foreign vessel could not bring
goods direct from New York to San Fran
cisco. Foreign railroads are given the right
to carry goods from one American city to
another, but not foreign ships. 1t might be
well for some Of our astute American bust
ness men to revise their methods. At pres
ent there seems to be an impression that no
business can be made profitable without
combination There is now a combination
between the tranScontinental railroad com
panies and owners of sailing vessels to raise
freight to such point that foreign vessels
sail nearly twice the distance and underbid
the combination. This is the policy of kill
ing the goose that lays the golden egg. High
rates limit transportation to absolute neces-
sites, and drive a portion to seek foreign
routes. The inroads Of the Canadian Pa
cific road upon the business of American
roads has been tolerated because of the ex.
cessive charges of the latter roads. People
said that if we could not have reasonable
transportation by our American roads we
should let in little foreign ompetition.
The American shippers have now gone into
combination with the American transcon
tinental companies which will furnish an
argument for the repeal of oar navigation
laws which exclude foreign ships from the
cOasting trade. People will say, as in the
case OF the Canadian Pacific, that If we
cannot have reasonable freight rates with
ont foreign competition. laws which pro-
hbit such competition should be encouraged.
The Southern Pacific managers have ac-
quired certain reputation for smarthess.
They have succeeded in accommodating for
tunes for themselves, but the service they
have rendered the public is less obvious.
They apparently entertain much the same

far another one will. On the Oakland side
of the bay similar condition Of things is
witnessed. An electric railroad will soon be
constructed as far as Haywards, and, we
may add, that this is certain also to be
pushed forward until it reaches San Jose.
Electric railroads can be cheaply construct
ed and operated. more eheaply than even
cable roads. Such being the case, San
Francisco and all of our large towns are
likely very soon to enter vigorously upon
this construction.

THRESHING CATS.
More of a Crop Than the Threshers Had
Undertaken to Handle.

Undertaken to Handle.
1t is not usual to thresh out cats In the
threshing machines of modern make, but
such has been the case on che adobe west
of town this week. Ditzler s. Moore's
combined harvester was left in the
field at the willows on Mrs. Riddles
place over Sunday, ready to start Monday
morning. The machine was started up
at an. early hour, and had gone some
distance when an unearthly yell was heard
from the interior of the harvester, which
cause the separator tender and sack-sewer
to spring into the air. On CHANGING toward
the rear end of the machine, what was their
surprise to see about dozen cats scamper
off as though pursued by band of dogs
The cats had evidently made a home in
some of the openings of the machine during
Sunday.-Biggs Argus.

o'Donnen Has Found an Heir.

Joseph O'Donnell. an attorney, thinks he
has discovered an heir to the $4,000 estate of
John Murphy, painter, who died in June
without known heirs, but leaving the
amount mentioned on deposit in bank. 1t
was thought the money would be escheated
to the State, but O'Donnell asserts that he
has sufficient proof that Samuel McCuen of
New Orleans is the rghtful heir, as he Is a
nephew of the deceased.

a MODEST PROPOSITION.

A modest demand is made upon the in
habitantS of Oakland by the syndicate which
own the tide lands in front of that city. 1t
is to have the Taxpayers expend S500,O GO to
improve property owned by the syndicate.
The history of these tide lands would be
somewhat interesting if it were fully writ
ten out. Suffice it to say that this land was
gobbleds up through manipulations of the
Legislature in early times. 1t was obtained
for song.

the intricacies of EngIish.

How a Young German Officer Learned
the intricacies of English.
When the United States ship Portsmouth
from the West Indies, she found in that
port the German mau-of-war Mike, and in
the course of a lew days a warm friendship
was established between the young officers
Of the two ships. Frequent visits were in
order.
Among the German officers there was one
Young man who thought, who knew, that he
had mastered the whole English language
in his short month in American waters. He
sure of this that lie FASTENED to eX-
hibit his fiueney whenever any of the Amer
lean officers were about. This led to trap
which awoke the German, somewhat rudely,
to a realization of his error.
lie was On board the Portsmouth, con-
verSing with a kuot of officers, when
shower came up. This is quite malig-
nant stornl," he said positively

near by, but it's only half as bad as it
would be If it were twice as bad as it is"
remark which caused the German to stare
blankly at the speaker. lie couldn't
grasp it.
'Hey?" he finally said. with a dazed air.
"Ohi merely remarked" said G.. that
it might have been if it was, and it would
have been if it could, but as it hadn't, 1t
ddn't-see?'
But the German didn't see. He edged his
way slowly toward the gangwav as though
bereft of his senses. His eyes were CLASSY;
his face was pallid and careworn They
never saw him again.-N. Y. Times.

CATHOLIC CENSUS
Statistics OF the Church In This Country
Value OF Church Properties.


WASHINGTON, D, c., August s.-The
census bureau to-day issued a bulletin
giving statistics Of the Roman Catholic
and all other Catholic bodies historical
ly relaied to it which are represented in
the United States:
The Greek Catholic Church (Nantes),
which acknowledges the sovereignty OF
the Pope, the Russian Orthodox Church,
the Greek Orthodox Church, the Amer
lean Church, the Old Catholic Church,
and the Reformed, or Converted Catho-
lie Church.
The Roman Catholic, says the bulle-
tin, was the first Christian worship eS-
tablished in the territory now constltu-
ting the United States. The first
Catholic see erected was that OF Balti-
more which dates from 1889. In 1sos 1t
was constituted an archdiocese.
There are now thirteen provin-
ces, the metropolitan sees being
those of Baltimore, Oregon, st. Louis,
sasCO, -sjtsl1 ~ 10, 1ttIIW aunOo, DOSUOu,
Chicago and ST. Paul, which were cre-
ated I'm the order named. Connected
with these provinces are sixty dioceses.
five vicarites apostolic and one prefec-
ture apostolic. The total number Of
communicates is G, 6,25O,O45, who are at
Sached to 1O,22l organizations
(church, chapels and statiOns), making
an average Of Gil communicates to each
congregation. OF the 1O,221 organiza-
tions l, ,469, or about 14.4 per cent, wor-
ship in halls, school houses or private
houses, which, exclusive OF private
houses, represent a seating capacity OF
3. 366,6 ,633, making total Of 3,435, 792
for the whole church, which is some
what more than half the number OF
communicates.
The total value of church property,
including edifces, the ground on which
they stand, furniture, bells, ETC., Is
Sis. .3S1.5I6. The average value OF
each is therefore about Sl3,500. The
metropolitan See Of New York, with its
472, sos communicates has church prop
erty valued at nearly SO, 900, 900; that OF
Chicago comes second with property
worth So, 457, ,O04, and that OF Boston
third with total Of S6,379,O7s.
In the tabulation by States the fol-
lowing facts appear: There are $50 or
ganizations with 1,513,O00 communi-
cauts in the State of New York (seven
dioceses) and the property is S25,609,-
46S; in the State Of Massachusetts e.

tions, church property valued at IS, &c.

which is considerably more than half OF
the valuation.

but to-day's game ought to settle that
question for long time to come. A
few weeks ago Fred Bartlett's Man.
nington team was pitted against a
combination Of Fairview and Fairmont,
and the Bartletts were victorious by a
score OF three to one. To-day's game
was played between the Bartletts and
Fairmonts for $500, and the score at
end OF the ninth inning stood twenty to
one in favor Of the Bartletts. Great in
terest had been manifested in this game
as Fairmont has long been Dragging as
to what they weuld do when they met
the Bartletts. but our boys are hard TO
down. The game was replete with bril-
liant plays on one side and ghastly
errors on the other. In the fourth In
ming Arnett, Fairmont's pitcher, was
knocked out OF the box, and Magill, q
Grafton man whom they brought along
to strengthen their team, filled Arnett's
position. In the ninth Arnett was again
put in the box, but 70 no effect.
Fairmont's only run was made by
Brodie accidentally hitting the batter
with the ball. The Bartletts now stand
ready to meet any club in the State for
money or for fun.
