jectors is 10 capitalize tie new company
for no more than is absolutely necessary to
meet the cost of construction and equip
ment. They are opposed to the issuance
of bonds and will endeavor TO conduct
their financial affairs in such a manner
that such an issuance will not be neces-
sary.
San Francisco will be connected with
tidewatar at Stockton. from which point
there is free navigation. In this way the
towns of the interior will be given the
benefit of sea ransportation, so necessary
IN securing proper recompense for their
products.
The Southern Pacific Company, which
has held the people and products Of this
great State in an iron grasp for years,
will find the new line strong competitor,
and one which will cause it to realize that
its day of autocratic rule is at an end
The new line TO the interior will give an
opportunity for the abundant products of
the State TO reach European ports. a
privilege not at present enjoyed When it
is constructed fruits can be shipped to
European ports as from Chicago TO the
same places. Instead of carrying it $500
miles by rail to New Orleans. where rates
are higher than from New York 10 Europe.
there will be a more direct and cheaper
route.
The more cheaply that interior points
can be reached the more the Shipments to
Europe can be increased. For years the
Southern Pacific Company has placed OBJ
stacles in the way of the producers of Cal
iforna. and to-day about the only product
reaching the European market is the
wheat that is conveyed by sea.
The people of California cannot look to
any other railway corp Grafton for help
but they must provide the ways and means
themselves. The other great lines that
may secure an entran ce into San Francisco
will not give the relief that local Dad to
the interior will do.
But all this is overcome by the plan pro-
posed. The products OF the State brought
into San Francisco over road owned by
home people and TRANSPORTED at Just rates
will find here means of reaching Eastern
aud European markets by water much
cheaper than the railroad rates across the
continent.
California and San Francisco are just
In the condition that many other States

time was about to die of dry rot, although
at the south of it there was a great and

University Clubs Lesson
From SCI1aefer.
The Champion Plays a Game of 400
Points With Spinks-Some of
His Fancy Shots.

The University Club last evening took a
lesson in billiards from Jacob Schaefer,
the worlds champion. and w. A. Spinks, the
champion of California, in its pretty quar-
tiers on Suffer street, in the old Caduc house.
The big English pocket bliard-taole and
the pool table Lad been moved out and
seats arranged around a single billiard
table in which balk lines were drawn.
There was a goed!y attendance of the
members at half past o'clock. when the
players arrived. Patrick Grant intro
duced the champion and Spinks, and the
latter explained the ''baik-llne" game, and
announced that Ben Saylor would act as
referee in game for 400 points.
Schaefer broke with run of eight points.
and Spinks followed with goose egg.
The game went ON very slowly until
Schaefer made 81 in the sixth run, and
then in the seventh run Spinks did some

balls over the balk line in one of the cor

Mr.. Garter promptly objected to the
question and Campbell said his object was
TO bring out the fact that stool pigeons and
counterfeters had been employed by the
government agents in procuring testimony.
The objection was sustained, and Camp

Mr.. E. Davidson Palmer. Mus. BAG.
Oxon., calls the attention Of scientific
men to an apparently unknown fact in
connection with voice production. This
fact has to do with the so called "falset-
to" voice. The general opinion about
this kind of voice is that it is something
altogether unnatural, and that it ought
never to be used. According to modern
scientific theories, however, it is one of
two OF more registers, and is supposed to
be intended by nature to be- used only at
the upper extremity of the vocal com
pass. But it is quite possible to produce
this kind of voice at much lower pitch
lat least an octave lower) than that at
which singers are ever taught to use it.
Produced in this way. it may be so
weak and feeble as to be practically use
less. Still it is possible so to produce it,
as men and singers we'll know. What
they do not know and what scientific
men appear to be totally unaware Of, is
that it may be developed at this low
pitch, and not only developed, but COM
pletely transformed, When thus trans
formed it loses entirely its unnatural and
eftieminate character, and becomes a
strong, manly voice, which is easily mis-.
taken for what is commonly called ''chest
voice. but which. unlike that kind of
voice. is capable of bearing throughout
its whole compass any strain that NAV
be put upon it. -English Mechanic.

An Old Time Schooanaster.

An old time schoolmaster in Pennsvl.
vania had been a carpenter in his vonfh
with a taste for books, and had finally
settled down as teacher of the VILLAGE
school.
He rever punished boy or girl. He
succeeded in keeping his pupils interest
ed in their work. There was perfect
order in his school and apparently no
discipline. He was known to be an
abolitionist who had frequently con-
cealed runaway negroes in the garnet of
his school. Sometimes denounced by
village politicians as a fanatic, he was
ordinarily laughed at as an eccentric
schoolmaster.
But his boys never challenged his au-
thority. They learned little Latin and
Greek and good deal about duty, honor
and justice.
The old mans eyes used to blaze be-
meath his wig when he spoke of the need
of courageous, honest men in public life
Two of his boys never forgot his burn
ing words. One was a general in the
civil war and a political leader of com
handing influence. The other was con-
spicuous for integrity at a period of low
public morality.
Thackeray once said that it was better
for boy to have the middle place in the
form and good thrashing now and then
than to be the cock of the school. His
idea was that conceit ought to be knocked
out OF boys. But brutality is not good
training. 1t hardens the heart and par
alyzes sensibility.-Youth's COMPANION.

When the clock strikes the hour two
beautiful German airs are heard in sue

dial twelve small figures of men and wo-

appears clapping his hands and moving
his mouth. A figure appears on either
side of the platform and makes polite
bow. The clock plays twentyfour diff
