willing to take the sewage the
greater part Of the year, why
not defect the line selected

proposed route? Ia there any engineer
ing objection to this7 And would it
not reduce the expense for lateral
distributing pipes and their mainte-
nance if the outfall we're moved q mile
or two nearer the lands that will take
the sewage? Perhaps here is COM
plete solution OF the difficulties that
have been raised in the courts. The
right of way south of Inglewood might
be obtained at once and without cost,
and there would certainly be an econom-
ical consideration in bringing the main
sewer nearer to the lands that are to be
benefited by the sewage. The people
would undoubtedly like to hear from
the city engineer on these points.

ASSISTANT GENERAL FREroHr AorN,

ASSISTANT GENERAL FREIGHT AGENT
WHITMoRE, of the Southern California
railroad, has, with commendable enter
prise, tabulated the reports made by ex-
perts to his company of the probable
crop of deciduous fruits for this year as
compared with that of last season. The
result shows that the acreage for such
products has increased during the year
25 per cent, while the yield will be from
25 to 80 per cent higher than that of last
year. These figures include the FIVE
southern counties, Ventura, Los An
geles, San Bernardino, Orange and San
Diego, the last named, however, report
ing a comparatively small production.
The largest increase in yield is shown
in pears and prunes, two of the most
remunerative of the fruit products. All
in all there is good reason to expect
that the coming crop will bring an inn
mense amount of money into the coun-
try, and will cause it to be distributed
where it will do the most good to the
conmunity-among the farmers.

ADJUSTMENTS.

4 large and certainly the most enthu
siastic audience that has been seen q
the Grand opera house for many day
assembled there last evening to witnee
the initial performance of Blue Jeans il
this city. The play is of that species o
meiodrama which is dear to the public
heart, and the realistic adjuncts meri,
all that has been said in their praise by
critics.
The author has made good use OF hit
material by making sweeping conces
sion to the craze for realism that has
swept over the country for the last few
years. Realism predominates every.
where. A real cow appears on the
scene; real leaves fall from the orchard
trees; real country band appears, and
best of all, in the third act, real saw.
mill is disclosed to view with buzz
saw IN motion. As this act approaches
its close, and the hero is almost precip.
itated upon the cruel teeth of the saw,
there is moment OF suspense that is
almost painful.
As June the poor house BARN, who
afterwards becomes Mrs. Perry Bascom,
Laura Burt deserves unusual praise.
1t is refreshing to witness a perform
ance of character of this one where
the part is not overdone. Too many
actresses forget that there is strong
line of demarcation between the ingenu-
GUS and the bold; but throughout the
entire play che clung to the original con-
ception and did not forget that one can
not in three months time. become a
society elegante from being waif
and eetray. It is interesting to
note that Miss Burt was in the original
cast, when the play was produced at
the Fourteenth.street theater, New
York, when she appeared as Nell Tute-
wiler and Beleena Kicker. J.J. Wal
lace, who so ably plays the part of Jacob
Tutewiler, the Rising Sun cobbler, was
also in the original cast, as was Marian
Strickland, who appears as Samantha
Hankins, visitor from the country
who has had seven husbands and is in
the pursuit of and finally captures an

Risener, a defeated political candi.

SLAUGHTER OF RAILROAD MEN.

One OF the most shocking develop
ments of the census ia the large per.
centsge of railroad employees killed and
injured to the number engaged in the
calling. The total number of employees
in the railways of the United States on
June so, 1890, was 749,301. The num-
ber of killed during the twelve months
preceding was 2451 and the number in
jured 22,3s6. That is one death for
every 500 and one injured for every
80. But large percentage OF the
employees are not engaged in the most
hazardous part of the business. The
trainmen are the ones who are the
most subject to casualties, and confin-
ing the statement to employees of this
class, we find that the total numb Der en-
ployed was 1853 1886, and out Of this mum.
Der there occurred during the year 1859
deaths and 1912 injuries due to some
form of railway accident. In other words,
there was ono death to every 105 and l
injury to every II men engaged in hand
ling railway trains. In no other employ
ment, not even in mining, which is q
most dangerous occupation, can such
frightful results be shown. The greatest
number of injuries occur in coupling
trains, and the greater number OF deaths
from falling from trains. The total num-
Der killed in coupling and uncoupling
cars in 1890 waa 369, and the number in
jured was 7S42. This shows that s7.o4
per cent of the total number of
deaths and 1857 per cent of the
total number of injuries resulted
in the performance of this duty. Such
figures show that there is great derelic-
tion on the part of tho railway compa.
MES in not providing their cars with
automatic couplers. Congress has, on
several occasions, undertaken to pass 4
law to compel the railways to deter
mine amongst themselves the best
coupler yet invented, and to provide all
their trains with it. But the railroad
lobby has been strong enough to pre-.
vent the passage of such bill, and the
work of slaughter goes on. That the
difficulty about an automatic coupler
that will work satisfactorily has been
overcome ID evident from the fact that
nearly all the passenger cars are pro-
vided with them. The loss of life and
injury to employees occurs principally
amongst the men engaged in hand.
ling freight trains, as out of 1,l05 5,O42
freight cars in 1890 only 81 800 were pro-
vided with automatic couplers. There
is no reason why this great slaughter Of
train hands should continue from year
to year when the companies can prevent
it by adopting the automatic coupler
for their cars. There are, OF course, q
number OF patent couplers, all Of which

WHAr sensation it would create II
Blaine, in case of his nomination,
should send a letter of declension to
the convention, thanking the members
of that body for the honor, but protest
ing his INABILITY to accept it, in view Of
the open notice he had given them and
all the world that he would not be 9
candidate. That would be one of the
greatest coups dc theatre Blaine could
make. 1t would at once be rebuke t
the convention that had dared to i'm
pute to him insincerity in bis Clarkso OF

firmness and magnanimity that would
set Blaine upon higher pedestal than
any he has yet reached.

of the minority.

A. H. Neidig, felt considerably better over
the situation after the IS :2l" report arr

A SMART BOY.

The Story of How He Caught Geese with
The Southern Pacific overland train
was rumbling along between Cotton and
Pomona the other evening. A party of
half q dozen commercial drummers in
the smoking car were telling yarns and
interesting the other travellers. ~ want

Tother day he rigged up kite. 1t was
the biggest kite I'd ever set eyes on. It
was about six feet wide, an twice as
long an on the top of it my boy placed
few green branches which he'd cut
from an oakwood tree. What's them
for7' I inquired. Never you mind,
dad says he: i know what I'm about
And by gosh, de did. He flew that kite
up in the air am stood watchin' of it for
long time. when says to him: You'd
better pull that thing down, now, an
get to your work. 'Lemme alone, dad ,
he replied, 'I'll git that yet. And, by

.ook at him he was a-hauling in on the
kite line, with smile on his face as big
as furrer. When the kite came down
near the ground I saw what he was
a-smilin' at, and it was enough to make
body smile, too. Any you fellers want
to guess what was on that kite ?"
None OF the drummers wanted to
guess, and the old man continued his
story: -
"Wall, sir, a-sitting on the top o. that
kite was eleven o. the purtiest wild
geese ye ever saw. Yes, sir, eleven on
'em. You see, the geese was fyin'
north purity thick this month, and my

Tho Age Of tho Playing Card.

DR.. Rudolph Lothian, Of Vienna, says
this year "is the fifth century Of the
playing card" He says the first game
of cards ever played was tarok or naili,
in which every card was symbolic of "a
phase of life, degree of knowledge or
one of the powers ruling human exist
ence." One Of the pasteboards was
named III Misero," doubtless our knave,
and was easily involved in all sorts OF
unpleasant complications. Tarok has
been revived in Paris, where the search
for novelties is SO resentlessly prosecuted,
even at the expense Of the old.

be made to select the one they deem the
best. Congress fails to perform ! plain
duty In not passing measure that will
reduce the fearful list Of casualties
amongst train hands, especially when
experience has shown that the automatic
couplers now in use on passenger trains
work with entire satisfaction. and would
reduce the deaths and injuries very ma
terially. The men have to take risks
enough from unavoidable accidents, but
should not be required to be constantly
placed in peril from avoidable ones.
