Matches and Pins.

Matches and pins being among the
most common things in daily use, it
is seldom that any thought is hestow-
ed upon them. Matches that are ig-
nited by friction was first made in
1879, before that time they were made
20 catch fire from a spark struch from
hint or steel-a very announcement
method. 1t is hard to say how many
millions CT matches are made in a dav,
but when the number of people that
use them is reckoned, the total sum is
appalling. Probably in the city of
New York alone owe twenty million
matches are used every twenty-four
hours. But matches are such little
things that nobody ever seems to
think ..of them. From an ordinary
three inch plank $4,000 matches
may be made, yet even at thai rate
the lumber used in the match business
attalns enormous proportions.
Pms are mentioned as far back as
1883, but not until the beginning of
this century were they manufactured
by machinery. The old way of max
ing each pin by hand must have been
very tldeous, ana 1T is not likely that
people were SO careless with them
then, as they were much more ex-
penslve than now. 1t has often been
wondered what becomes of the pins
thai are lost, but 1t is hard to say.
There are fourteen distinct operations
in making a pin, and lots of trouble
attached to the process. Pins are
made of brass and then timed and
blancled, and millions of them are
manufactured daily. AS Il pin can be
used more than once, the number
USED does not equal that of matches,
but still miles upon miles Of wire are
used annually in their manufacture.
Like matches, are little things and not
thought much of ; but when you need
Il pin or a match, aud there is none to
be found, then you realize what an
Important part they play in daily lite.

DIFFERENCE OF OPINION.
The Railroad Must Correct
It's Filings.
mr. Madden Says 1t Is All Bosh and the Land
Offics Says 1t Must Be
Done

Telegraph dispatches received from
washington yesterday stated that an I'M
portant ruling had just been made by the
Lana Office that would be bad thing Tor
the southern Pacific Railroad.
The whole thing involved the ownership
oil about 10000 acres of the railroad con-
pahys Indemnity lands in California which
had not been properly filed on.
A letter from the Land Office was sent to
Attorney Beard last May pointing to the
error, but no attention was paid to It. and
attention Was again called to the fact on
Monday.
lhe Land Office in this city gave as It's
OPINION that the case did not amount to
anything, as there was plenty OF time to
correct The error, which was only small
regal point anyhsw.
In u!lng its claims the company did not
STATE which piece of land, held by it for
indemnify. represented the land 1t lost
through the settlers. 1t simply punched Its
claims and rut its losses on one page and its
ihdemnltes on the other. There was moth
ing TO tell which was which, except the
heading OF the page. This Of course, was
PLAIN enough, but 1t is not legally correct
ana VIII have TO be corrected.
hr jerome Madden, land agent of the
SOU htrn Pacific Railroad, was seen at his
once oy CALL reporter yesterday and
asked what the company was going TO do
about the matter
Why, uothng, of course" he answered,
tllat telegram is all wrong"
lie then procured lot Of old letters and
hles and showed where all the land in the
Visala and Independence districts WAS set
tied
The last claim was sent in on the 30th day
OF September, 1887.
hlr. Madden says the company has been
very careful about the matter and done
everything just so.
All the stationery they have used is what
the government sent out, and 1t has all
been filled out correctly.
On one page there is a heading Ike
marks, and this has been left blank by the
company, whereas ii should have been
filled out, stating that a certain piece of
land was indemnity for a certain piece last
described on the other page.
TO do this will be great deal OF work.
but the Land Office seems TO have made UP
It's mind that il shall be done. while Mr..
Madden saws the idea is absurd and that 1t
Will not make the matter any clearer.

around the sides. The second one exam

packed in the barrel carefully and tightly.
There were other barrels of beef, but there
was also another barrel of opium. There
were just exactly 800 taels in each barrel.
Mr.. Sprague called the others up, and the
barrels were moved and the contents dumped
out. 1t was an excellent job of packing
and well arranged To deceive the officers.

ROBBED WASHHOUSES.
Two Fellows Who Stole by Pretending
to Be Health Officers.

Two Fellows Who Stole by Pretending
To Be Health Officers.
Two smooth young fellows plundered
Chinese washhouses by representing them
selves to be Health Inspectors for over a
month before they came to grief.
The pseudo officers were George job nson
and Albert Levy. They now repose behind
the bars at the City Prison. and five charges
Of burglary appear against them on the
register
On the 10th of last month they began
operations by procuring tin badges and a
horse and buggy. Arriving at a Chinese
laundry they would show their badges and
make bluff at inspecting the premises
invariably they would drive every one out
OF the back rooms. where the proprietor
and his employees kept their clothes. After
carefully measuring the room with tape
line they would search the clothing and
take everything Of value In the pockets.
In this way the young crooks secured money
at nearly every laundry visited. The
largest sum they attained at one place
was $50.
Although complaints had been made to
the police Ii was not until yesterday that
Oihcers Conley and RiOrdan arrested the
culpnts. Detectives Cox and Glennon found
hye washh0uses that had been looted in

NO SN0BBBRY TN THEIRS,
University Regents Rule Out
His Excellency."
JUST PLAIN "GOVERNOR. -
Professor lie Conts's Salary Raised and ar
Assistant Professor Engaged for tho
Department Of Mechanics

"His Excelency" don't go any longer
with the regents of the University of Cali
fornia.
They decided so ut their regular meetng
yesterday afternoon.
Perhaps it's small matter, and perhaps 1t
isn't. Anyhow Arthur Rogers struck re-
sponslve chord in every sensible mans heart
yesterday afternoon when, after the minutes
OF the preceding meeting of the regents
had been read Chairman Phelps mad asked
II there were any objections to them, he
said:
II think it will be just as we'll in the
future If the secretary will refrain from
speaking of the president of this board as
His Excelency.' IL would be better to put
it just the Governor of California"
There were approving mods from oil the
other regents, and 1t was quite plain that
no motion to that effect would be necessary.
His Excellency" will not hereafter pre-
cede the name of Governor Markham on the
minute books of the regents of the Uuiyer-
sity of California
Governor Markham won't care. He won't
resign. There's no danger of that. Like
every sensible man in this country the Gov
ernor hates, above all things, to be fawned
upon and called names and given titles 10
which 10 one In this land has any claim and
and sycophancy.
It's just plain President Harrison and
Governor Markham, and the regents did
good job yesterday, though they didn't elect
president for the university, when they
raled out ''His Excellency."
After this there was good deal OF talk
about water which the university needs
badly. 1t seems that Mrs. Stiles owns a
few acres If land which the university
needs to perfect It's water course AS Re-
gent Phelps very innocently remarked. "she
owns damSite." 1t was decided 10 push
the condemnation proceedings to speedy
conclusion.
Professor Moses tender of the riparian
rights on his property was accepted with
thanks. as was likewise tie portrait of the
and a member of the Legislature which
founded the university.
Professor LIE Conte's salary was raised
from $1,000 10 S4000-another good job well
dOne-and the professor granted leave of
absence to lecture In Los Angeles during
the winter holidays.
The contingent fund OF the Lick Observa-
tory was raised from $500 to $500.
Clarence l.. Coley was appointed assist
ant professor in the department OF me-
chanics at salary of $1,000 for one year.
The Berkeley citizens were granted per-
mission to hold their Columbus day cele-
brati0n on the university grounds.
1t was ordered that 1000 copies of Pro-
fessor. Schiaperellrs report of the absorb
ton OF the earth's atmosphere be printed.
Charles Howard Shinn was deputed to
investigate the condition of certain lands
belonging to the university.
There are about 1000 students in the uni
versty.
