what Mothers nre Mnae ror.

A home is what woman makes
it; daughter is, in nine cases out
of every ten, the reflection of her
mother, writes Edward w. Box in
The Ladies Home Journal. The
training of the girl of fifteen is
shown in the woman of fifty. A
son may, by contact with the rough
world, sometimes outlive his early
home Influences daughter rarely
does. She may make a misstep.
Indiscretion may be to her a neces-
sary teacher; but her early domes-
tic training will manifest itself
sooner or later A mothers word,
domestic proverb, told at eventide
by the quiet fireside, has been re-
called by many woman years after
it was uttered. al thank God that
my mother taught me what other wo-
mon have been taught in the world"
said gentlewomen TO me not long
ago. This, my friend, is the tribute
which your daughter and mine
should be able to pay to our mem
ories long after we are gone. The
world has sharp way of teaching
its truths to girl. Is it not far bet
ter, then that her mother should tell
her with that sweet and sympa-
thetic grace and gentleness which
only a mother knows? The flow
ers most beautiful to the eye and
sweetest to the smell, grow in good
soil. The worlds noblest women
have sprung from good homes.

A Sermon.

Several gentlemen were standing
in the lobby of the Emery hotel the
other evening when rather small
sized messenger boy rushed in and
handed one of them a telegram.
The gentlemen glanced at the clock
as he signed the blank and said.
"Well 1 didn't know it was so late.
where is time going to anyway
Quick as q fash came the reply
from the little fellow, "Into eternity, .
and picking up his book he walked
out. The oddly of the remark
struck the men as funny, and they
laughed loudly at the little preacher
for a moment, and then the laughs
died out on their lips and each one
looked as though he were thinking
of something like that which he had
heard when he was boy cincin-
natl Inquirer.

An Awkward Mistake.

A young gentleman had an en-
gagement with the daughter of
prosperous citizen to attend the
theater, says the louisville Post.
Tho young lady suggested that they
use the family carriage, and the
gallant was too polite to decline.
On the morning of the engagement
the young lady asked her father to
please stop in Mr.. Bowersox's Office
and inquire where he wanted the
carriage to call for him. The kindly
old gentleman did so. He stopped
in the Office and, calling the young
man, said:
81 want to see about that car
riage."
"Wait a moment" said the youth,
evidently agitated. He laid down
his pen and coming from behind his
desk, led his visitor into far cor
ner continued: 81 can't settle that
right now, as 1 am decidedly hard
up. I'll fix it by the middle of the
month, dead sure"
@what do you mean9" said the
old gentleman.
"Why, amt you the collector for
the Gouge-'Em Transfer Com
pany?'
"No, I'm not; I'm Miss Bond
holders father, and want to know
where my carriage is to be sent for
you tonight"
He went to the theater in the car
riage but he did not enjoy it much.

He 0ueIled the Panic

81 was in Rochester on Monday

one of the hotels last night, "and

the orchestra kept right on playing,
there would have been a terrible

THE DEADLY STILETTO.
ITALIANS CELEBRATE CHRISTMAS
MOST CURIoUSLY.
of Them Are Wounded-One of the
Victims Likely to Die.

A fight occurred last evening in
saloon at the corner of New High and
Ord streets, which will probably end
the life of an Italian, another victim OF
the deadly stiletto. Lugo Girafello, Oc-
tavo Vanello, Giuseppe -, Joe
Moreno and Carmino Moreno were cele-
brating Christmas in their own peculiar
way over an unlimited quantity OF sour
wine. This dangerous beverage got
away with the equilibrium OF the hot
southern inteliects of these genial gen.
tlemen, and discussion OF the relative
merits of their lady-loves led to vio-
lent encounter, in witch the two Mo-
renos faced the other three, and were in
danger OF being vanquished by superb
ority of numbers. This was the oppor.
tunity for the cowardly stiletto, and it
was certainly used with terrible effect.
The fight ended in an instant, and the
two Morenos, who had done the cutting,
ran away, leaving three wounded men
behind them. Vanello was thought to
be dead, for he had knife-thrust which
missed his heart by only the fraction of
an inch. Giraiello was badly cut in the
groin, while Giuseppe escaped with a
badly lacerated hand. The police de-
partment was promptly notified, and
Detective Farmer and Officer Coke drove
to New High street with the patrol
wagon. The two murderous Italians
could not be found, however, because
even the very relatives of the wounded
men had aided them to escape. The
detective force have their descriptions,
and their arrest is probably only mat
ter of time. Surgical attendance was
summoned for the injured men, and the
chances for life OF Vanello were pro-
nounced very slight.
Carmino Moreno and Joe Moreno were
arrested shortly after midnight by
Officers Bowler, Craig and Hawley.

only way to prevent mischief would be
to have vessel OF equal capacity to
fight her off. The Esmeralda with one
of her long-range guns could throw
shell into San Francisco at distance
that would make her perfectly safe from
any of our shore batteries. This danger
must be guarded against. and the
only way to do 80 would be to keep
one or more OF our new cruisers in these
waters. 1t is true we might soon have
torpedo boats here that would be OF
great service in crisis. The Comanche
monitor, lying at Mare island, could also
be brought into useful play. But in no
event would it be safe to leave our coast
cities open to attack from Chilean cruis-
ers. Whether we shall have wal or not
depends greatly upon the temper of the
new government and congress of Chile,
which is to be inaugurated and to meet
today. II the same tone OF defiance is
shown by the new government that has
been exhibited by the provisional, then
war must inevitably ensue.

worst feature of the absence of rain so

A GLANCE AT THE SITUATION.

The annual report of Mr.. Crank, the
manager of the cable road system, indi
Gates very plainly that there has been O
very large increase in the population of
cur city the past year. Los Angeles is
growing straight along, and the rail
road developments that will soon be
outlined and placed in the way of early
accomplishment, will give an impulse
to its already steady growth that will
soon double the population that we now
have. Next month the hackers of the
Terminal railroad will come here to
study the situation and look into the
character and resources of the country
between this point and Southern Utah.
They will find that they have the best
piece of unexploited railroad country in
the United States waiting for their road
to awaken it into productive life. These
gentlemen are well aware that their
road when completed will be one of the
most valuable pieces OF railway property
in the country, and as they have, or
control, unlimited means to carry out
their project, their visit here will have
the effect of expediting the work of con-
struction all along the line.
The Southern Pacific and the Santa
Fe have been the leading factors in the
devevelopment of our fruit and farming
interests, and of the extraordinary
growth of our city and section thus far.
But the Terminal railroad will bring in
another element of prosperity that will
act mainly in the building up here OF
an immense city. 1t will enable us to
establish manufactures that will be in
position to compete fully with all kinds
of goods manufactured at the east.
There will be very few articles of use
that we shall not be enabled to produce
cheapiy with cheap fuel, and cheap fuel
is one of the greatest benefactions the
Terminal road will confer upon us.
We have SO often dilated upon the
great and limitless mineral wealth oil
our tributary interior that it seems like
repetition to allude to it again. But we
should never lose sight of the fact that
the greatest mineral treasure-house in
SD6 OnlLcu CCnlcH lies III oUublWC5tClh IL
Nevada and outheastern California. 1t
has only been prospected-not worked;
because the character Of most of the
ores contained in this vast mineral re-
gion is such that they can only be made
profitable by the facilities of transporta-
tion to points where they can be treated
by extensive separating and reduction
works. Such works must inevitably
be located here, and the number of peo-
pie they would employ, and the incl
dental industries they would build up
and support, would contribute very ma
teriaiy to make Los Angeles city OF
two or three hundred thousand inhab-
itants.
The outlook for our city was never
brighter nor more encouraging. The
completion OF the Terminal railroad
will secure us commercial and manu-
featuring prosperity that will give us
metropolitan importance and proper
tions. The visit OF the gentlemen mem
toned viii be the signal for the COM
mencement OF railroad work eastward
OF the most energetic character.
Los Angeles herald., 1891-12-26


WE HAD short talk with an army
officer yesterday who believes that we
shall have war with Chile. He said it
is imperative that the South American
republic must back down from its inso-
lent attitude, apologize and make repa-
ration, or war must ensue. We shonld
lose the respect OF every nation if we
permitted Chile to kill and maltreat our
sailors, cast indignities upon Americans
and insult our flag and our nation in the
most reckless manner. He thought that
when war is declared, we should
throw on army of at least
100000 men into Chile. Less than
this would be injudicious in military
point OF view. 1t would not do to leave
this coast defenseless. Chile would
doubtless send one OF her best vessels
here with view to destroy San Diego
and to shell San Francisco. Neither OF
these places have any long-range rifled
cannon that would be of any use against
such cruiser as the Eemeralda. The
