Rock Crystal.

Rock crystal is plentiful in various
localities Of the United States. A mass
OF 1t weighing fifty-one pounds from
North Carolina was sent four years ago
to New York. The original crystal,
which must have weighed 300 pounds,
was unfortunately broken in pieces by
the ignorant mountain girl who discov-.
cred it,. One very useful purpose to
which this mineral substance Is put is
the manufacture Of mirrors, when it can
be found in big enough blocks to ba
sawed into slabs Of sufficient size. II,
superiority over glass lies in the fact that
1T does not, like glass, detract from tho
rosiness of the complexion. Every pretty
woman should surely have a hand glass

THE BANKS ASSESSMENT.
The City Takes an Appeal in 1t:
3. Case.

The City Takes an Appeal in Its
i Case.
A transcript on appeal was filed yes
terday by G. Mcfarland, attorney for
appellants, with Clerk Culp of the state
superior court in the case of the Farm
ers' and Merchants bank VS.. the coun-
Gil of the city sitting as board of equal
ization. The bank made application
originally in the superior court for the
granting OF a writ of review to be di-
rected to the council of this city, to
review an order of said council adding
to the assessment of plaintiffs solvent
credits $26S 900. On the 9Th day of
August of this year, council met as
board of equalization to examine the as
sessment roll, and ordered that notice
be mailed to the bank directing it to ap-
pear and show cause why its assessment
on solvent credits should not be in
creased from $2774 to 1870, 900. On August
18th the banks representatives did ap-
pear before council and claimed that
the only sum of money on hand assess
able under the state law was $2l ,465.35.
Council held, however, that the bank
had returned false and incomplete list
of it's taxable property, and on motion
OF Mr.. Tufts the assessor was directed to
add to the assessment against the bank
for solvent credits the sum OF $26S, 600.
The cause came on regularly to be
heard in open court November 18th,
and Judge w. P. Wade rendered judg-
ment against the council. From this
judgment the present appeal has been
filed.

NOTHING IN 1T.
Fake Railroad Story in thu

A Fake Railroad Story in the
Times.
The Times runs steamboats," in its
railroad department of late very extern
sively. Yesterday morning it stated
that the Santa Fe company had pur-
chased the Santa Monica wharf and
Terminal railroad company's interest in
a proposed line from Inglewood to Santa
Monica; this proposed line was, some
months ago, announced exclusively in
the HERALD-which by the way, has
been the case with all railroad
news OF note. The remarkable
statement was made that the con-
sideration "was $4,000 of which $500
was to be paid in cash, the remaining
$47, 800 to be paid at the option of the
purchaser ~
On the very best of authority the
statement can be made that there is not
a word of truth in the Times's story.
As was stated in the HERALD months
ago, it is surmised and it is probable
that eventually, if the talked-of line is
built, it will be ABSORBED by the Santa
Fe. But no deal has been made. When
it is accomplished, if ever, the HERALD
will state the fact.

GoULASH EATERS.
They Formed Permanent Organiza-
ton Yesterday.

On Monday afternoon there was held
at the residence of Mr.. o, Vogel, 1928
West Second street, regular session OF
the newly organized Bohemian club,
which was christened last week under
the name "Goulash club" Mr.. Dion
Romandy, the chief cook, officiated at
the pot and compounded the national
Hungarian dish in his usual manner.
Judge Gardiner was elected chairman
and first dishwasher," pro tenn, and
presided over the club in true Bohemian
style. After.the liberal indulgence OF
the members in the soul-stirring ''gou-
lash," the musical section were ordered
to fulfill their duties by the portly
chairman, which order was obeyed
most satisfactorily in the rendition of
Mozart's Twelfth quartette in G minor,
including the allegro vivace, menuetto,
andante and finale by the string quar-
tette, comprised of the following named
artists: First violin, Mr.. Ford; second
violin, Mr.. Angelotti viola, Mr.. Ro-

discussing the business of the club,
which resulted in a permanent organi-
zation being perfected under rules and
regulations to be enforced at the next
session, which is to take place in their
own quarters, which are to be fitted up
in consonance with the character of the
Goulash Eaters. After the business

Foran, and a either solo by Mr.. Vogel ;
and with three rousing cheers for the
host who had so generously entertained
them, the Goulash club adjodrned to
meet again in their own home at an
early day.
