Allowing these r0a DIS to pay the prices
Tor coal and labor which the Southern Pa
ciic states they pay, they would make
money by adopting the California distance
tariff, for the simple reason that as the
freight rates which they charge would be
increased 81 per cent. their total receipts
would be very greatly augmented.
The freight receipts average on these
lines about Is per cent of the total earn ngs
or IN the case under consideration S24,6I7,-
597. At the proposed California distance
tariff rates the freight earnings would be
increased by S14, 632, $50, and the total re-
eelpts from operation to S46,855,543.

there would be left a profit from operation
Of S11, 3S2, 10l, or $780, 900 more than they

In considering the cheapness OF trans
pOrtation in California the American En-
gineeT and Railroad journal gives some in
terestlng figures. 1t gives the pounds Of
coal consumed per train mile for all service
and shows that the Southern Pacific burns
20 pounds Of coal per train mile against 81

A SUICIDE PREVENTED.
"Uncle Sam" Breaks Up a Bad Case
of MeIancholia.

Matthew Harris, pension attorney, Ellis
street, may be said to have prevented a sui
eide yesterday morning. An old veteran of
the regular army. who had made applica-
tion for pension in December, 1891. and had
received no return, came into the office and
passed bundle of papers over to Harris.
He requested Harris TO look after his pa
pers, and told him that he need never ex-
pect to see him again. Harris demonstrated
with him, telling him that he felt sure that
the Pension Office would allow his claim.
but nothing could dissipate his fit OF mel
ancholia. Harris thought he discerned the
evidence OF firearms and deadly intent to
use them. In friendly way he approached
him. discovered a loaded revolver and re-
lieved him of it. Harris felt sure that he
had seen the mans name among those who
had received a pension. but, as the name
was common, he did not wish to trust the
telegraphie report. Shortly after he had
disarmed the veteran, and while still at
tempting TO quiet him. he received COM
municalion from the Pension Department
stating that the claim had been allowed and
the pensioner had been allowed $40 per
