The hotel hermits are more widely

good deal OF comment in desultory way,
and are apparently proud of their seclu-

who boast of not having wandered more
than two or three blocks from the build

Other hotel hermits go to their Offices
every morning, return at a certain hour
in the afternoon, and then remain stead
lily indoors until the following day. They
are intimately acquainted with all the 60
ings on in the big hostelry which serves
them as home, and have active interest
in its various departments.
The hermits of the Office buildings
sometimes sleep in them, but as a rule
they sometimes have lodgings in the
lower part of the town where they put in
eight or ten hours out OF the twenty-four
But at all other hours they are to be found
in the big building which serves them as
an Office, and practically as home.

Every lovely object in organic nature
owes its loveliness direct to sexual selec-
tion The whole esthetic sense in ami
mals had this for its origin. Every spot
on the feathery wings of butterflies was
thus produced; every eye on the gorgeous
glancing plumage of the peacock. The
bronze and golden beetles, the flashing
blue of the dragon fly, the brilliant col
ors of tropical moths, the lamp of the
glow worm, the cleaning light of the
FREELY in the thicket, spring from the
same source.
The infinite variety of crest and gorget
among the iridescent humming birds,
the glow of the trogan, the barbetS among
the palm blossoms, the exquisite plumage
of the birds of paradise, the ball-and-
socket ornament OF the argus pheasant,
the infinite hues of parrot and macaw,
the strange bill of the gaudy toucan, and
the crimson wattles OF the turkey still
tell one story. The sun birds deck them
selves for their courtship in ruby and
topaz, in chrysoprase and sapphire. Even
the antlers of deer, the twisted horns of
antelopes, and the graceful forms or dap
pied coats OF so many other mammals
have been developed in like manner by
sexual selection. The very fish in the
sea show similar results of esthetic pre-
ferenceS.
The butterfly fins of the gurnard and
the courting colors of the stickleback
have but one explanation. l need not
elaborate this point. Darwin has already
made it familiar to most OF us. Through
out the animal world, almost every beau
tiful hue, almost every decorative ad-
iunct. is traceable TO the action of these
s'lower' passions. Animals are pleasing
to the eye just in proportion to the amount
of esthetic selection that their mates have
exercised upon them, and they are most
pleasing of all when most sexually Wig
orous. especially at the eliminating point
of the pairing season.
Tennyson's familiar lines gain new
meaning when we read them thus, as
illustrating the persistent thread OF con
nection between the esthetic sense in man
and in animals:
In the spring fuller crimson comes upon the

In the spring the wanton lapwing gets him.

nearly hundred on board when it
reached the city.

that the strikers had gained access to the
Cathedral and were using il as signal
station. Father Grace denies this, but
admits that application had been made to
him Tor that purpose, which he positively
refused.

Convent yesterday announced that ar
rangements had been made by the Sisters

AN INFAMOUS OUTRAGE.

ADVICE TO CITIZENS.
Judge Armstrong Points Out Several
Important Things.

y
Important Things.
SACRAMENTO, July IL. 1894.
To the People of Sacramento: 1t is
felony to derail a train. Section 2lS OF
the Penal Code provides that every per-
son who shall unlawtllly throw out
switch, remove rail, or place any OBJ
struction on any railroad in the State Of
California, with the intention of derail-
ing any passenger, freight or other train"
is guilty of felony. and on conviction
shall be punished with death or
imprisonment in the State Prison
for life. And the same section fur
shall unlawfully place any dynamite or
other explosive material, or any
other obstruction, on the track oil
any railroad in the State OF California,
with the Intention OF blowing up
or deraiing any passenger, freight,
or other train, or who shall unlaWIully
set fire to any railroad bridge or tfestle
over which any passenger, freight or
other train must pass, with intent OF
wrecking said train, is guilty of felony,
and must be punished by death or I'M
prisonment for life. 1t is provided by
Section 81 of the Penal Code that "dtL
persons concerned IN the commission OF
crime, whether it be felony or mlsde-
meanor, and whether they directly COM
nit the act constituting the offense, or alc
and abet in it's commission, or not being
present, have advised and encouraged lis
commission are guilty as principals III
any crime so committed"
These provisions of the Penal Code are
clear and unambiguous. All persons
who derail trains or place dynamite or
other explosives on railroad track to
blow 1t up or places any other obstruc-
tion thereon or burns railroad bridges or
trestles are guilty of a felony and pun
ishable by death or imprisonment Tor
life, and all persons who aid, abet, advise
or encourage the doing OF those acts,
whether present or absent, are guilty as
principals, and by virtue OF Section 81 of
the Penal Code all such aiders, abettors,
advisers or encouragers may be tried
and punished as principals, "and no
other facts need be alleged in any lndlet-
ment or information against such acces-
sorry than are required in an indictment
or information against the principal"
So it follows that every person who
has aided, abetted, advised or encouraged
the strikers, who assume to act by au-
thority of the laws of the American Rail-
way Union, in their unlawful conspiracy
to force the railroad company not to use
the Pullman cars, in which it has three
fourths interest and are bound by con-
tract to use them four years more, are. IN
the view of the law, as guilty of felony
as those who do the unlawful act in per-
son. There are many good citizens in
Sacramento who have given money with
which guns and ammunition have been
bought to force their unlawful demand
of the company who did not know the
gravity of the offense they were commit
ting. 1 have written this communlca-
ton to advise you of the law, and ask
you not to violate it.

All travellers agree that there are no
where else roses SO magnificent as those
that cover the garden wall OF the old Ro-
man palace in the Via Sistini in which
once lived the famous epicure LuculluS.
Rome is a city of roses. They run
riot, but those of the old palace have be-
come celebrated. Their odor is passion
ate in it's intensity. Their form, their
every petal, the way they hang upon
their stems is picture-like. The color of
some is deep, deep crimson, almost black
at the heart; IN others it is cameo pink,
changing TO rich cream tints at the CEN
ter; others are the bright yellow that mel
lows into gold; others are the white that
is like melted moonlight in the petal cup.

for his roses Is almost pagan, watering

On investigation l learned that the
wealth OF odor and coloring was the re-

libation which l had seen poured at their
roots was strong beef tea, made from
fresh cuts OF beef and strained. The old

Who VIII be Taken Back into the

There has been much speculation in
this city as to who would be taken back
into the employ of the Southern Pacific
company. The following was received
last night from General Manager Towne:
'.We have been asked from different
points on the line as to our policy with
regard to the re-emplo yment of men.
We think that we should say that we will
employ such men as we need who have
not wiilfully damaged railroad property
or forcibly prevented our employees from
properly performing their usual and reg
ular duties. Wherever any men have
engaged in using or running engines or
cars without orders from proper author
ity, such cases will be investigated and
decision made in each individual case as
to whether or not the person engaged
shall be re-employed.

ARARE OPPORTUNITY
Good Agricultural Land for SO
to $40 per Acre.

The Pacific Improvement Company has re.
Gently purchased twelve thousand ceres os
land in the heart of Tehama County, for the
purpose of promoting subdivision and settles
ment. This land embraces lands from frste
class Sacramento Valley agricultural land, "a
land Of fair average quality, and is offered as
from $40 to $40 per acre, in subdivisions OF
40, So 12o, 100 and $50 acres.
The terms upon which these lands are offered
are especially attractive. They will be sold IL
subdivisions, as above indicated, by the pay.
naent of interest only for three years, at which
time the purchaser can begin the payment os
principal by paying the first OF five equal an
nual installments. Thus no part Of the pI.ns
cipal is to be paid for three years, and then
the purchaser is to have five years in which to
pay five equal annual installments, with in-
terest at the rate of per cent. per annurn,
making payments extending over period of
eight years. Intending purchasers are as
gured that this is an opportunity to purchase
land of fair average quality at $40 per acre,
and good agricultural land at $50 an aero,
with other grades of land at prices to corre-
spond between these figures.
The assertion is frequently made that good
lands, suitable for general farming. ana es-
peeialIy adapted for fruitgrowing, cannot be
had in California for less than from $50 to
500 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 $40
an acre, and for qualities grading down to fair
agricultural land at SO an acre, on terms OF
payment which should make the disposition
of these lands to actual settlers result easy OF
accomp plishment.
The primary object of the purchase OF this
body Of land was the breaking up Of large
holding for the purpose of promoting its set
tlcment in smaller quantities and its devotion
to dilgent husbandry.
