versity of California today defeated the
Olympic club in q football game, by q
score OF IL to 6. Last Saturday the
Stanford team beat the Olympics
in easy style, 46 to 0. In today's
game. however, the University team
was weakened by the absence OF it's
star players, who were in San Jose to
see how Stanford played against the
Reliance club. The Olympic team was
strengthened by the presence of Heffel-
finger, the famous Yale player, who
assisted them during the first half.

VERY MIXED.

The Situation In Regard to the Ana
helm Irrigation District.
Santa Ana Blade: The Anaheim irri.
cation district directors, by their attor-
ney, Mr.. Brousseau, have filed demur-
rer to the complaint of citizens in their
district asking for writ OF review under
which the levy OF 81 cents on the prop
erty in the district was made and for q
judicial declaration that the proceedings
were void. Judge Towner has not yet
set day to hear the demurrer.
The directors met at Anaheim on
Tuesday and decided to go on with the
proceedings. Mr.. Brousseau was pres.
ent and advised the board that he was
in correspondence with the Harrises oil
Chicago, who proposed to buy the
bonds, and they wanted to complete
the purchase, but were something ham,
pered by the stringency of the money
market, and the board would have to
wait some time for their money.
On the previous day meeting of tax
payers was largely attended in Ana.
helm, and those present were unani-
nous in adopting resolution asking
the directors to take steps to disorgan-
ize the district.
The directors do not appear to have
considered this resolution, and they are
proceeding with negotiations for the
purchase OF 81 acres for reservoir site
at Yorba for which the price asked is
500 an acre. In the meantime the old
Anaheim Union Water company is try
ing to buv the same site.

She Followed His Lead.

There were seats enough for all except
one young man, whose party of two
pairs sat down near the door. 1t was
the high spirits Of this group doubtless
that prompted the suggestion by one of
them that the standing young man
should sit in the lap of his young woman
for greater comfort. This he promptly
did, and not being repulsed sat there
with great content to himself.
At Reade street a young Irish girl
boarded the car. 1t was. evident to ev-
cry one that she was recently landed,
well intentioned and little informed.
She stood at the door minute and
looked bewildered up and down the filled
seats. Then her eye fell upon young
man sitting at ease in young woman's
lap. She darted forward, and before any
one had the slightest idea of her inten-
tion she seated herself respectfully but
firmly on the lap of the other young man.
1t was hard to tell which was the fun
niest, the agitation of the young man, the
calm Of the young woman or the hyster-
ical laughter of the colored girl in the
corner, who explained to the passengers
between her peals:
''She thinks dem as comes fust sits ON
de seats, an dem as comes next sits on de
people,
Which was evidently just what she
did think until the conductor came to
the rescue New York Recorder.

the history OF the Southern and Central
Pacific. The volume of business was
larger than ever before, and the gross
and net earnings greater. This year
there are some material differences, but
on the whole the net earnings Of the
system will fall little short Of those OF
last year. The tonnage has been great
er, bnt the gross earnings are smaller on
account of the reduced rates. But cor
responding reductions in operating ex-
penses have nearly equalized matters.
The net earnings of the west
ern portion of the system for the
fret nine months of 1892 we're
$40, ,450, SALLY. The net earn.
ings of the same portion for the first
nine months of 1898 were $40, 157 267. 81, +,
a net decrease of only $293, ,233.S0. For
the entire system the net reduction
will not be much larger, notwithstand-
ing dull times, competition and reduced
trsnscontinental rates. On the whole
therefore, the Southern Pacific has not
Jared very badly, as compared with its
most prosperous year. 1t must be said,
however, that the worlds fair helped
out considerably, but the aggregate of
all the extra travel would not cut a
formidable figure in making up the
grand totals.
The lesson apparently to be drawn from
this showing ie that the Southern Pa
cific has lost nothing by reducing rates.
An increased volume of business has re.
suited from each reduction, and the
natural inference is that, but for the ab-
normal conditions resulting from finan.
cial panic and industrial prostration,
the corporation would have increased
its net earnings this year in the face oil
vigorous opposition, and sweeping re-
duction of overland rates in consea uence.

A Delegations of West virginians Call
on the Governor.
COLUMBUS. O., Nov. 11.-Weet VIr-
ginia was the first state to send body
of representative citizens to Columbus
to congratulate Governor Mckinley in
person. Thirty citizens of Wheeling
came here for this purpose on special
train this afternoon. B. Hart of the
Wheeling Inielligencer addressed the
governor on behalf OF the party. In part
he said:
1--WE have prospered most under the
measure which bears your honored
name. We have suffered most under
the threat to wipe out that law"
Mckinley replied. 'The people have
spoken in public protest against free
trade. Our victory was aided by many
Democrats who are unwilling to vote
for the policy which sacrifices the inter-
ests of the workingmen and the prosper
ity and patriotism of the country. |
shall be glad when West Virginia shall
with fair and full vote record itself for
Republican principles and the policy
which means success for your Industrial
state"
