On the answer of that question may depend

Fortunately for citizens of Los Ang lies. the

AN AGENTS FAULTS.

DEPARTURE.
He IL Alleged TO Have Become Involved
as the Agent of the Charles
Wright Company and
Several Persons.

R. W. Abbott, formerly superintend-
ent OF loan company OF this city and
lately connected With the Charles
Wright company, situated in the Baker
block, has left the city under rather
peculiar circumstances. He is said to
have gone with money belonging to
other persons.
Abbott went to work for the Wright
company about November 1st. He con-
tinued his services for two weeks, and
when last heard from was at Ell Psso.
He was acting in the capacity of trav-
eler for the firm.
He is said by a member of the firm to
have gotten away with q considerable
cum of che firms money. They have
had numerous inqulrers for him since
his departure, as he has numerous cred
itors.
Abbott was also agent for Mrs. Means
of TT College street, who is owner OF
the Rogers block. He ia said to have
secured money from this source for

ual. His whereabouts are unknown.

THE COLOSSAL IN ARCHITECTURE.

This is the era o. enormous edifices,
erected for the purposes OF commerce
and finance; and America leads off in
the erection of ponderous structures,
made accessible byelevators and erected
upon the most central locations in her
larger cities. Chicago has clearly taken
the lead from New York in the past five
years, although she has less than half
OF New York's population, ss will con-
vince anyone wno inspects the sold
Colony" the Auditorium" and the
"Monsdnock," all within short dis
tance of each other. The idea is that
tie ground is everything, and the cost
of building Is but secondary con-
sideration. You can rent out as many
hundred Offices as you please, if they
are but centrally located.
But Chicago will be obscured for the
time being BY the great structure now
in process OF erection in New York by
the Manhattan Life Insurance compa-
ny. 1t is to be 16 stories in height,
with dome and tower, the apex of
which will be 81 feet higher than the
top OF old Trinity church, nearly across
the street.
Here are some of the dimensions
Height OF roof tower above Broadway,
347 feet; height of roof tower above
foundation, 40S feet; height of main
roof above Broadway, 243 feet; height
of main roof above New street, 252 feet.
The front facade is 67.3 feet on Broad
way, by eide elevations Of 1l9la on the
north and 125 on the south. The frame
is OF iron, filled in with brick on the
sides, while the front is of new vsrie-
ty OF stone from Bedford, Indiana. The
style of architecture is that of Italian
renaissance. A glance at this table will
give eome idea of it's enormous proper

Within the past month they have re-
fused an offer of s750,000. The result
of the suit is awaited with great inter

SANTA BARBARA, Dec. 15.-The cruiser
Olympia, on her trial test in the chan
mel today, did not equal the expectations
Of her builders, but still far exceeded
the requirements, and established a
record for the S6.knot course of about
2167.
The day was nearly perfect. The
ocean was like q big mill pond, only
ruflled by the big cruiser herself 40 she
sped through the water, sending the
spray over the bow until the decks
were drenched. From Go!eta point to
Point Conception quite sea was rum
ming. but not enough to retard hesdway
to any extent.
The reason why thsfcruiser did not
equal her previous record is an unex-
planned mystery. The machinery worked
perfectly; there was not the slightest
break. The time of 21.67 is liable to
correction on account OF currents, which
may result in the Olympia's favor. Her
draft is four inches greater than the re.
quirements, which also will be counted
in the official calculations, which will
not be made for several days. Her max
imum speed is estimated at 22.05.

The RAIN.

The visitation OF copious rain on
Wednesday night may not have done
as much in an agricultural eense for the
country as if it had been followed up by
a continuous dispensation, yet it has
"broken the ice," 80 to speak OF the
season and warrants US in the belief
that the fears OF those who dreaded a
winter with less than the usual amount
Of moisture, was upon US are without
foundation.
To deduce from past experience what
the present season will be would author
very satisfactory one to or farmers,
Heretofore our best seasons have been
those in which the rains have held off
till the latter part Of December OF the
middle of January. Feed cuts very
important figure with the farmers. and
the luscious graes' growth OF our eection
ia greatly injured by early rains; for
general thing early rains are followed
by long hiatus of dronth during
which the feed loses it's eustenance and
dies cut. 1t is usual, however, with lato
