books donated, 1856 books repaired in
the library, and 323 notices sent.
The fret six months of the library
year shows that 115, 1854 books have been
circulated for use at home, which is as
great number as was circulated last
year in twelve months, the grand total
of the use of the library for it's six
months, as shown by the records, being
174,375. This ratio of circulation en-
titles the Los Angeles library to rank
in the list of the ten leading libraries of
the United States. Chicago heading the
list with circulation of over 1000, 900
volumes per year. Los Angeles being
the fifty-sixth city in point of popula-

Big Sheep shearing.

Sheep shearing is now being pushed
rapidly, and most of the hocks in the
valley have been shorn of their feecy
coats. Some big records have been
made in shearing, but the ten men
headed by o. H. Lane seem to take the
lead. They clipped $4,000 feeces in six
weeks. The best record for single day
was made by G.. o. Meager and L.
Palmer, who sheared 155 each. Lane
will start in a few days for Flagstaff,
where he and his band have work al
ready engaged to last three months.
The clip this season is unusually good,
although the early winter drought killed
off large percentage of flocks. Han
son Brothers, of Show Low, were among
the heavy losers, having lost $4,000
worth of sheep by death and strays.-

pare Favorably with Last Seasons.
is War Imp psnding-Notes.

The Southern California roads gen.
eral freight and passenger agent, Mr.. S.
B. Hynes, is much pleased with the
business done by his company in fruits
and vegetables. Early in the season it
was thought that the potato shipments
would fall off to an alarming extent, but
Mr.. Hynes finds that the decrease from
last years shipments will be very slight,
and his showing of business will be
most satisfactory.
WANT THEIR SALARIES.
Among the suits filed in the superior
court yesterday was one brought by
Conductor Patterson, of the San Gabriel
valley Rapid Transit railroad, who
brings suit in behalf of himself and fell
low trainmen for their May salaries.
There is no dispute as to the amounts
or correctness of the mems demands !;
in fact, the complaint on file sets forth
vouchers or time checks which have
been issued by superintendent. Monroe
of the company. Notwithstanding the
fact that the principal stockholders of
the company are all rich men, they
claim there are no available funds at
present in the treasury of the road, and
each one hesitates to come forward and
adjust the matter.
In the meantime deserving men, who
have families to support, are deprived
of their pay for several months, which
seems like short-sighted policy on the
part OF some one.
ALL is NOT SERENE.
If in railroad affairs looming events
cast their shadow BEFORE" the present
equable situation between competing
lines in the west will possibly evolve
into decided storm. While no one thing
can be cited as proof that any of the
magnates are restive, still no one who
associates with railroad men can fail to
have the impression that dissolution
of restraining agreements is imminent
and that long knives are ready sharp
ened waiting for their work on rates.
Railroad men will deny that such is the
case, probably, but nevertheless it is
true, and will be verified in short
time.

passenger business in its existence tc

Status of the Mormon Church.

The Mormons have issued a report,
from which it appears that the church
of the Latter Day Saints has a total
membership of over zoe, 900, distributed
over various portions of Utah, Wyoming,
Colorado, Arizona and Mexico. At a re.
cent gathering of the polygamous
branch of the church, it was decided to
dedicate the new temple at Salt Lake
City on April 6, 1898. This edifice was
commenced forty years ago, and has
cost s2,50o,OOO. Financially the Nor
mon church is in a prosperous condi
ton. In other directions it is falling
behind, however; a fact that cannot
fail to afford unalloyed pleasure to
every lover of morality and true re
i9ion.

are gray, and are rapidly whitening
His features are regular, and he is what
might be termed handsome man. He
has wonderful force Of character, and nc
temporary rebuffs divert him from the
accomplishment of a purpose upoE
which he has once entered. His career
in Chicago reads like fairy tale. A few
years ago he was in moderate circum,
stances. To-day he is worth millions
He is lover of good pictures and his
private galleries contain some of the
best examples of the great painters OF
to-day, together with choice specimens
from the old masters. Mr.. Yerkes has
shown much public spirit. He had pre-.
viously made costly gifts to the public,
but the half-million-dollar telescope

pie may serve to open the too tightly
closed purse strings of other wealthy
men of this city who, like Mr.. Yerzes,
owe their millions to Chicago, and who
ought to initiate his generosity by Civ.
ing a moiety of their money for the
public good. Many good people have
thought bitter things and said harsh
words, sometimes having been impellec
even to profane remarks concerning Mr.
Yerkes' cable lines. The pleasan'
things now said of him will soften, it Is
hoped, any reproachful temper on tn,
part of Mr.. Yerkes to the thousands
who from time to time have INDUCED il

transportation systems. 1t is but jus
tice to Mr.. Yerkes, too, to state that his
cable lines are being steadily improved
in every respect. The roadbeds have
been put in better condition and rolling
stock begins to meet the heavy demands
made upon it. And SO the ''cuss'' words
are heard less frequently. A good story
is told, by the way, regarding the NORTH
side system as it used to be. A certain

NATURAL GAS FAILING.


Tbs Pressure in Ohio Greatly Decreased
manufacturers Cut Off
SPRINGFIELD, O., Nov. 28.-A1 OF
Ohio using natural gas is greatly
aroused over the unmistakeable evidence
that the supply is slowly failing. The
pressure in the great Mercier county
fields has fallen from 400 pounds to rs
and 80 pounds, and new wells are being
constantly drilled in what has been &
discouraging effort to fulfil contracts tc
supply cities on the big pipe line, such as
Dayton, Springfield, Sidney, Troy, Piqua,
etc.
To facilitate the distribution of gas, q
newfangled force pump is being used to
hurry the gas through the mains.
All manufacturers have been cut of
and nothing larger than a hotel is now
supplied with the convenient fuel. The
pressure is getting so unreliable and
variable that hotels are taking out their
burners
The local officials of the company are
discouraged over the prospect, and con-
sumers fear that they will have to return
to the use of coal. Some are inclined to
think that the large flow from the big
wells in Indiana and the largely in
creased use of it there have something tc
do with the pressure here.
The local franchise ordinarily requests
a four ounce pressure all the time. Fol
a week it has been below that daily.

A Rich Man Taken with q Sudden Streak
of Generosity.
It Is not every day that Mr.. Russell
Sage is seized with a reckless generous
mood. He had one such mood, however,
according to a writer in the New York
Times, several years ago. 1t was on a
pleasant afternoon when the king OF
puts and calls was feeling particular
ly mellow in consequence of two or
three lucky (for him) turns in the stock
market. A name was sent into Mr..
Sage's Office which evoked quick in
vitation to enter. The name was borne
by a seedy man with shutting gait,
but the millionaire grasped his hand
with cordial grip, nevertheless. The
two had been boys together-school-
mates and friends. They were born on
the same day, and in their boyhood en-,
thusiasm they were wont to celebrate
their natal day together. Russell Sage
recalled all of this, and when his friend
remarked that he was getting along
very poorly the rich man promptly put
his hand into his pocket, and, drawing
out fve-dollar-bill, pressed it into his
old friends hand, with the touching re.
mark: "My old friend, don't hesitate tc
take it, and if you will come around
every birthday 1 will repeat the gift
For many years after that the seedy anG
shuffling man appeared periodically al
Mr.. Sage's office and received his five
dollars. This year, SO the story goes
Mr.. Sage was unable to find five dollars
in his roll of bills, and was on the point
Of putting his old friend off, when the
latter exclaimed:
but am in more desperate need OF
money than ever before, Mr.. Sage. Why
not give me one of those ten-dollal
bills?"
"Well, never thought Of that" re
piled Mr.. Sage, in amatter-offact way
Here, you take this ten dollars ane
give me receipt for two years."
