Dangerous Shooting.

The good people OF Berlin are get
ting more and more excited over the
question OF street shootin. by SOL
diers. The sentinel who shot a man
the other day was threatened with a
knife, and seems to have had more
justification than existed in some
earlier cases, but the military author
tiles were not content with declaring
him guiltless, but have expressed the
warmth OF their approval by promot-
ing him to be Il corporal. OF course,
other sentinels will be eager to gain
promotion on such easy terms.
The serious point is that the bullets
from the new service rifle have such
enormous velocity that the soldier
discharSing them has not the least
idea of where they may go to. In the
latest instance reported, the missile
passed through the body OF the man
originally fired at, then passed
through the groin OF an innocent by
stander, and finally buried itself deep
ly in a brick wall. The possibilities OF
mischief with weapons such as these
are infinite, and any man may be shot
at the most unexpected time and in
the most unexpected place.

How German Railway Men Are Pale

to" NeTIIleAI1 halfway wen ARE PalQ
An official list has just been publish
ed OF the wages paid in Germany to
the whole OF the railway employees on
the State railways in that empire be-
ginningat the Presidents of Direction, of
whom there are eleven, down to brakes
men and the poorer officials. These
Presidents do not reap colossal
wealth, their pay being a little over
$500 n year only; and this is by a
long way the highest salary paid upon
the railway. Telegraph inspectors, OF
whom there are only eighteen, get from
915O to f2OO; bookkeepers and secre-
taries, GlOO to ESQ; ticket stampers
and Office clerks, from ESQ to 475,
porters, or rather portiers, and ticket
guards, $40 to ego year. And the
artisans and engine-driversget butvery
poor pay indeed compared to the pay
on our English railways. Drivers and
the electric n,achinists get from $50 to
flOO year the highest; that is, not
over 80 a week. Stokers and assis-
tants and this class of helpers, from
81 a week to % shilings; and the semi
guard porters, who sit in their great
coats in all weathers on the top OF the
train. get buffrom Gao to EGO a year.

who keeps drug store, sells all
medicines, comes in direct contact
with the patients and their families,

A Manipulating Device.

"A Lan1p-LlRnClnR DeViCe.
According to present appearances
the days OF the lamp-lighter are num-
bered. A device is coming into vogue
whereby the gas lamps on the street
are lighted and extinguished automat-
ically. This machine is attached to
the gas-lanp and is wound up once a
week when the lamps are visited by
the cleaners. The machine is non
electrical, for a wonder, and is acuat-
ed by q clock movement which at the
lighting time turns on the gas and ig-
mites it by percussion spark, and at
the required moment shuts off the
gas. Each machine can be readily set
to light or extinguish one minute earl
Ter or later each day, according to the
season Of the year, or to extinguish
at any fixed time for the entire year.
1t can also be set so as not to light on
moon light nights. The mechanism is
inclosed in cast-iron box which is
absolutely weather and dust proof.

twenty-five feet wide. The plans OF the
commissioners also embrace a boulevard
two hundred feet wide, which would
encircle the whole city and afford our
people continuous drive of twenty-five
miles. This would be q memorable
achievement and would place Los Ange-
les in the front rank of the public-spir-
tied cities of the world. Although little
is known about the Elysian park, its
entrance will be only about mile from
the court house.
OF the Westlake and other parks we
will say nothing in this issue, for the
reason that they ale more generally
known than those to which we have
drawn the attention of our readers.
A personal inspection of the results of
their labors satisfies us that the park
commissioners have expended the small
sums which have been at their disposal
with excellent Judgment and that they
have got the best obtainable returns
from their limited outlsys. They look
for more liberal allowance in
the future and the HERALD thinks
they ought to get it. The law
allows a levy of ten cents ON the
hundred dollars for park purposes. This
would give them a fund of 100000, with
which they could do wonders in advanc-
ing the park system of Los Angeles. If
we deal with the question in spirit of
judicious liberality we may be sure that
in five years from today no city in the
United States will have parks as beauti-
ful as those Of the angelic city.
1t is pleasant to come across at least
one department of our city government
which is absolutely untainted with job
berry, and where frst-class work is being
done, and in a line which will insure our
people unahoyed enjoyment for all time
to come. Let the good work go on.

ONLY ONE CALIFORNIA.

The recent reports of rich discoveries
of gold on Unga island, in the newly
acquired territory of Alaska, is good
occasion for a sermon upon the time
honored text of "Look Before You
Leap" Granting that the deposits of
auriferous earth are quite as valuable as
reported (Which is by no means proba-
ble), there are good many reasons why
young and venturous Californians
should let the new diggings severely
alone.
First of these is the cost Of travel, the
fare being 800 to,Sitks by the steamshi p
line from San Francisco. Thence to
Unga island the Voyage is one of ex
treme peril, the distance being nearly
six hundred miles northwest of Sitka,
with only small sailing vessels to carry
one thither from the Alaskan capital.
Second comes the high price of food
everything but fsh being very scarce.
Third is the danger from the Indians,
who, while not as warlike as the
Apaches. are quite as trescherous.
But the greatest obstacle of all lies In
the short summers and the long-pro-
tracted winters. The rainy season is OF
quite nine months duration, and this
renders work almost an impossibility,
except in deep diggings. The great adj
vantases that California possessed over
all other goldproducing countries ex-
cept the Australian colonies, lay in the
fact of her long seasons Of dry weather,
extending generally from May until Oc-
tober. This afforded opportunities for
lifting rivers from their beds and doing
a score of things that, in the short sea-
sons of Oregon, Idaho and British CO.
lumbia, were wholly impracticable.
Gold was worth just SO much per ounce,
whether you got it on the first day or
reached it after months of patient toll.
The question was, how much did it cost
to get out an ounce Of gold that would
sell for eighteen dollars?
That is why we say there will never
be another California-certai not to
the north of us. Had the climate OF
California been like that of Alaska, or
even of British Columbia, there might
still be good pay in scores of localities
that have been worked out for more
than twenty years. But it was the long
seasons of dry weather that made many
localities profitable and divested the
placer miners life of much hardship.
But in Alaska and British Columbia the
miners life is not merely one of inces-
SAINT toll and constant sell. lf.denial, but Of
danger and personal hardship as WELL.
The prudent and cautious young man,
who has a long life before him, will con-
tent himself by remaining within the
metes and bounds of civilization and let
ting the other fellow go up to Unga
island to dig the gold.

OCCASIONALLY, when Chauncey M. De-
pew is himself, he can talk exceedingly
well. This is what he had to say about
Grover Cleveland in 1890, when both of
them were present at a banquet. Doubt
less Depew never spoke his mind 90
freely or 80 happily as in the following
utterance:
Ii l am to name the typical American,
the man who loves and believes In hie
country beyond everything else, the
man who, determining once in what d.
rectlon his duty leads, cannot be sweryed
from the path-the man who is doggedly
persistent in what he believes to he
right-the man who thinks not of self
but OF his country and its needs, /
would name Grover Cleveland. What
he has accomplished is the very highest
tribute to the possibilities of American
citizenship. A country lawyer in the
city of Buffalo, he shed luster upon the
high profession which he had chosen.
As the mayor of his native city he pre-
sented as his record a clean and
economical administration. Coming into
the highest position of the land without
previous experience and without scarcelv
q precedent to guide him in the condi-
tions which surrounded him. he won
the affection of his party and com.
manded the respect and admiration of
his opponents. l find myself in one Of
the proudest positions of nv life in
being permitted to present to Won
Grover Cleveland as the typical Ameri-
can.

OUR WORLDS COLUMBIAN FAIR ILLUS.
TRATRD EDITION.

The HERALD will issue a worlds Co
lumbian fair edition of the ILLUSTRATED
HERALD. Arrangements have been
made with the most finished artists in
America to insure the greatest perfection
of detail to the illustrations. A quarter
of a million copies of this matchless
publication will be issued. 1t will be
printed on heavy book paper, and will
be distributed by uniformed boys during
the progress OF the exposition, and the
distribution will be under the direction
of an intelligent superintendent, who
will see that each copy shall go where it
will do the most good. It will be de-
voted to Southern California, every por-
tion Of which viii be treated impair
italy. In few days accredited agents
of the HERALD will start out on the
work of canvassing the people in the
interest of this mammoth enterprise.
Those who can contribute advertising
patronage are expected to do so, while
almost anybody can subscribe for copies
to be either mailed east by themselves, or
distributed at the worlds fair through
the HERAuD's agency. There is no rea-
SON why the greatest boom ever known in
the history Of Southern California should
not follow in the wake ofthe Columbian
world 9 fair. 1t is the mission OF the
sHERALD to see that this shall be the
cnse. The high standard of previous
editions of the HERALD is a guarantee
that this supreme effort will be of excep-
tional merit. The aim will be to make
1t nonpareil. It will be noted that in
this ambitious edition all the counties
of Southern California are to be in
cluded. We bespeak for this enterprise
the generous patronage which will un-
doubtedly be accorded to it, and which
In reality will only be bread cast upon
the waters, which will return before the
lapse Of many days. This is the mis-
sionary era in Southern California. We
needpeople, and the HERALD proposes
to see that they shall get here, in great
numbers and of the right kind.

In THE thirteenth century, it is said,
the University of Bologna, in Italy, had
over 10000 students and six lady pro-
fessors. one OF whom, Novella d'Andr;s,
was 80 beautiful that she always lee
tured from behind curtain, lest the
students should forget their lessons
while contemplating her peerless beau
ty. The expense of a curtain is wholly
unnecessary in these latter days when,
anstead Of Novella d'Andria, we have
Anna Dickinson and Susan B. ANTHONY.
