THE GREAT STRIKE.
1t Happens at an Unfortunate Time for

Newspapers.
SAN FRANCISCO, July 5.-The great
railroad strike which is now in progress
from one end of the country to the other
could not have happened at more un-
fortunate season for the newspapers of
the Pacific Coast, SO far as the prompt
handling of the immense volume of press
reports which the strike entails is con-
cerned. For the past three nights the
most constant watchfulness and perse-
verance on the part of all persons con-
nected with the telegraph service has
been necessary in order that the newspa-
pers of the coast might receive the re-
ports of the exciting scenes which have
transpired here and in the eastern por-
ton OF the United States. A dense fog
has been rolling in from the ocean every
evening. and all night long it has made
its presence felt around the bay of San
Francisco, where there are more tele-
graph wires than at any other place on
the coast. The wires have become ciogged
with dampness, making il entirely i'm
possible to transmit telegraph messages
with the promptness which prevails un-
der other conditions. On one or two oc-
casions the fog has been SO thick that the
telegraph service has been completely
blocked. Chief operators in various tel
graph offices, and particularly in San
Francisco, have spent hours at their
switchboards trying by every means pos
Eible to preserve communication between
this city and eastern and coast points, and
to keep the great rush of press and COM
mercial business moving as rapidly as
the uufavorable weather conditions
would permit
The large operating-room of the West
ern Union Telegraph Company in San
Francisco presents the busiest scene
which has been witnessed there for q
long time. Every quartet table is occu-
pied by operators who have been called
into service by the rush of messages of
every description resulting from the
strike and the blockade of mail trains
News dispatches are pouring from the
East and from every point on the coast
where anything has occurred in connec-
has to be ssnt out again to cities in the
interior. There would be no difficulty in
handling it all promptly if the weather
conditions were favorable, but there is
necessarily some delay when the wires
are clogged with dampness as at present.
The facilities of the Associated Press
are likewise greatly taxed. The leased
wires running from the East to this city
and extending from here TO Seattle. Ia
coma, Portland and Sacramento on the
north. and to Los Angeles and San Diego
on the south, have had to carry an inn

THEY DO NOT MARRY.
Some Interesting Facts Shown by the
Last Census.

SOf00 lul0r6SElDR faclS SHOWN DY the
Last Census.
Marrying and giving in marriage is
purely personal matter in this happy
land OF independence. Perhaps more
than in any other country in the world it
is a matter OF sentiment, and that so may
it be until the end of time is the aspira-
ton of all true lovers and happy welded
folk. But at the risk of brushing off
some of the bloom of fancy from this
subject, it is interesting to regard it in the
cold light of figures, which tells what
kind of an aggregate is made up by the
individual tendencies of the American
people toward matrimony. Such figures
are furnished for the first time by the
census of 1880. former enumerations not
having been concerned with this very
important feature of the social condition
OF the United States.
The first thing which catches the atten-
ton in the tabulations Of the Census
Bureau on this subject is the vast mum ber
of young bachelors. At the age of 24
years only twenty men out of one hum
dred are married, and even up to 80 years
nearly one half still remain single. The
women do better. At the age OF "a nearly
one-half OF them have become wives and
before they reach 30 years nearly three
quarters have found their mates. As
rule women marry at an earlier age than
men, ana this accounts In part for the
difference. But the great fact remains
that the vast army of young men of
America remain bachelors at an age at
which their grandfathers were the heads
of families and bound to the community
by the strongest ties known in our social
system.
Exact comparison is, of course, impos-
sible, owing 10 the absence of figures for
previous years; but it safe to say that
this habit of bachelorhood has increased,
and that the tendencies of modern condi-
tions OF life are toward its further growth.
AS the standard OF luxury-which we
have come to call COMFORTS raised. the
cost of maintaining q family becomes
greater, and the responsibility becomes
more formidable. The young man who
can support himself in ease necessitates
to assume greater burdens, which must
involve some sacrifice of his habits, and
may bring the need of greater exertion
as bread winner than he, in his bache-
lor freedom, likes to contemplate. And
SO the young woman, seeking new op-'
portunities OF agreeable occupation OPEN
ing up on ali hands for those of her sex
who have capacity for business, for art,
for industry of many kinds, may be in
flueneed by greater indifference TO the
sentiment which leads to marriage. Yet,
which is the better state? Ii long life is
the desired thing, these census figures
have something of interest to tell the
young bachelors of a America. They show
that of all the American men and women
who have reached the age of sixty five
years 81 out of every 1G0 are married.
All but Of the 100 who have persisted in
their bachelorhood have dropped out of
the world.

The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive They will be sold In
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay
ment Of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment O:

The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming, and es-
pecialiy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from 500 to
600 an acre. An examination OF the Land
subject of this advertisement will prove to
home-seekers that this is an opportunity for
the purchase OF good agricultural land at $50

agricultural land at $40 an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
Of these lands to actual settlers result easy Of

The primary object of the purchase Of this
