CALIFORNIA is. the name of the
latest journalistic venture to appear in
this city. 1t is published by Mr.. g. w,
Burton, late of the HERALD staff, and
Mr.. A. g. Eisfeller. Mr.. Burton is the
editor and it is needless to say that he
is eminently qualified in all ways. He
has big mission, for the paper in its
salutatory states that its main object is
to "endeavor to see all that is bright
and beautiful in the state, and to
convey it to other minds" The
initial number is most creditable. Ii a
good object, and ability, count in the
struggle for newspaper existence, Cali
fornia will grow to be giant.

Landlords and the Measles.

Amos Bennett, dashing tenant farm
er, lives in Buckingham, about a furlong
above Pineville. He has lived for about
fifty years of Christian equanimity with
out ever having the measles. A week OF
SO ago they ''struck" him and he was
obliged to cancel his business arrange
ments and to go to his bed. He has had
for years to contend with exacting land
lords and endure the pains of ophthalmy.
The measles havesnow settled in his eyes
and he is nearly blind. He now says
"that of the two great calamities- the
landlords and ophthalmy ophthalmy is
the most calamitous," tits sad case.

THOSE NAMES.

By the way, messieurs the super
visors, you have not yet responded to the
widespread demand for the names oi
those leading citizens" in Difference to
whom you appointed Aaron Smith to
the arduous position of assistant to the
Los Angeles legislators at Sacramento.
Why is this? Have you forgotten them :?
Are they bashful and coy about having
their identity disclosed? Do they fear
that they will be forced to receive popu-
lar adulation Or set OF silver plate as
slight token, etc.? Never mind their
retiring disposition; break your SILENCE,
and let an interested public know who
they are.

Supplying Moving Engines with Water.

Supplying Moving Engines with Water.
By new invention which is being
tried on some of the southern railroads
it is thought possible that engines can
be supplied with water when necessary
without stopping. The system is ex-
planned as follows: There is to be a
tower over each well or stream that is
to supply water, about forty feet high,
and from this tower is suspended by a
wire cable tank or bucket holding
about $500 gallons of water. The same
is raised by passing locomotives, and
the water discharged automatically into
a storage tank The bucket that CON
veys the water to the storage tank, when
emptied, goes back automatically into
the well or stream of supply, and is filed
ready for the next locomotive. This
saves the expense of stationary engine
and fuel, with engine and such expense
as attends the present system, and gives
equal guarantee of reliable supply

Frank Moss, An Old Man, Seriously
Burnt Last Night.


Burnt Last Night.
Officer Downey turned in an alarm at
7o'clock last evening, from the corner
of Pearl and Sixth streets, for fire on
Sixth street, near Grand avenue. The
house, which was a frame one, was de-
stroyed together with the contents, be-
fore the department arrived. The house
was occupied by a family named
Moss. The old man, Frank Moss, was
severely burnt while attempting to save
some of his belongings, and was brought
to the police station for medical treat
ment. He is very feeble, being about
20 years old. The fire was caused while
one of the children was attempting to
light lamp in the kitchen. The loss
will probably amount to 5000.

The Homewood Secretary Gives Out
Very Interesting Programme.
GENERAL SPORTING NEWS OF. THE DAY

There is no doubt about the fact that live
pigeon shooting is becoming popular in this
vicinity. The recent handicaps have brought
to the front experts who think that they can
do more in the way of killing live pigeons
than anybody else under the same circum-
stances. 1t is satisfactory, however, to
know that the class of people directly in
terested are thorough sportsmen.
As result of the Homewood handicap and the
challenge of John Lovett, the following reply
was received at this Office yesterday:
Sporting Editor of The Dispatch:
In reply to the challenge in your Issue of the 18th
inst. 1 will state that 1 am prepared to make
match with MIR. John Lovett for a purse of $500,
under any Of the following rules:
The old Long Island rules. 25 yards rise, gun
below elbow till bird take wing; OF the American
Shooting Association rules. Also the Hurlingham
II Mr.. Lovett will agree to shoot under any of
the above rules will be pleased to accomm odate
live bird race to be given by Messrs. Shaner and
Crow, on the 9Th of April, will bet him ESQ on
the outside that will beat him.
If Mr.. Lovett will cover my forfeit and designate
a time will meet him at The DISPATCH office.
Yours very truly, q. Z. SNYDER.
Along with the above there was forfeit of
S2o TO bind match: But also there came
statement from Mr.. John Lovett to the follow
ing effect: Il have no club to back me- but
will shoot Mr.. Snyder on the Homewood handl-
cap conditions, each man TO produce and
handle the others birds. II Mr.. Snyder will
shoot me-and am nearly 6Oyears old-under
these conditions will shoot him for S5OO side.
will allow 80 pigeons each. am an old man,
and if he won't undertake to match ME he is
no shooter"
The above statements show how the argu-
ment stands. and it seems that the parties are
not likely to agree. The style of shooting at
the recent Homewood handicaps has opened
up an argument about the respective abilities
Of shooters that will only be settled by match.
The question now has become interesting in
very many ways.

gold watch, a Tiffany horse-timer valued at
SZ75. His two trunks, containing $4,000 worth
of samples. were not molested. Mr. Johnston
at once reported the robbery to the Office and
the police we're called in, but so far not single
clew has been Obtained.
Regarding the theory that professional rob-
bers had been spotting him from place to place,
watching for chance to get at him, Mr.. John.
ston says hat he takes no stock In that Pro.
fessional burglars he says would have killed
or chloroformed him and carried off his trunks.
He thinks it was the work of local thieves. 1t
is plain that entrance was not effected through
the hotel, but from the window on Fourth
street. Mr.. Johnston says that he had fastened
the window, yet it was found partly raised and
effort is being made by the local detectives to
bag the burglar.
