Women Being Recognized in London.
Women are fast obtaining substantial
recognition in the governing of London.
There are women members of the board
of educationand various other important
bodies, and if women choose there may
now be women dock commissioners. In
a bill before parliament dealing with the
election of dock commissioners, Mr..
Courtney, chairman of the committee,
took novel and, as the newspapers de-
scribe it, "praiseworthy" step by strik-
ing out the words male persons" SO
that the franchise might be conferred on

if ladies might vote they might also be-
come commissioners. "And why not, "

RAILROAD NOTES.
Southern Pacific Will Abandon
SAN Pedro Street.
Rights of Way Across the Bris-
walter Tract Secured.
An Important Thoroughfare to Be Given
Up to Street Traffic-G General Pas
senger Agent Hynes Makes a
Fat Contract-N0tes.

The final papers were signed yesterday
by which great improvement will be
made in the Southern Pacific entrance
to the city from the west.
As it ia now the Santa Monica line
comes into the city via Brooklyn street
to San Pedro, and on San Pedro to Pine
and on Pine to Alameda and the Arcade
depot.
A year or two ago the company wanted
to vacate San Pedro street and CROSS the
Briswalter property, getting to Alameda
street that way, but the negotiations
fell through. Yesterday, however, the
matter was concluded and the papers
signed giving the Southern Pacific COM
pany right of way across the estate.
The entrance to the Arcade depot as
soon as the track is changed will be via
Brooklyn to and across San Pedro
street, east across the Briswalter pro-
perty on the south line to the Hooper
place, and thence across property owned
by the Southern Pacific company to
Alameda street, and thence to the depot.
This will make San Pedro street q very fine
thoroughfare and will give the railroad
company much improved entrance to
the city.
MOVING SOLDIERS.
General Passenger Agent Hynes, of
the Southern California road, recently
made contract with the military au-
thorities whereby he secured for the
Santa Fe very profitable bit of busi-
ness in moving soldiers from Arizona to
the north.
A few days ago the Santa Fe moved
eighteen coaches of soldiers and twenty
two cars of equipments from Wilcox,
Apache, Deming, Silver City and other
points in New Mexico and Arizona to
Fort Assinaboine, in Montana. The
company is also now transporting large
numbers of troops from Prescott and
Wingate to Sackett's Harbor and Platts-
burgh, N. Y.

it: we only know the fact
from experience.
1t may be due to the COM

due to the glycerine. There
