SAN DIEGO, PACIFlCA EASTERN -
BE RUN By EMPLOYEES.


= George W. Vromen, the well.known
Rion Pacific engineer, and whose name
ecame familiar from one end Of the
country to the other because Of his CON
nectiOn with the Brotherhood Of Loco.
motive Engineers as chairman Of the
grievance committee, has been elected
president of the San Diego, Pacific &
Eastern railroad.
The company has been recently IN
co%rporated, and Is to be a cooperative
railroad, and it will traverse some of
the richest portions Of Southern Cal,for-
MA. The capital stock has been placed
at 81 ,O"O,O 600 and the shares are $40
each. 1t will be a distinct railroad
mems line, and each lodge and division
will subscribe for stock. There will he
no bonded Indebtedness, as no bonds
will be ISSUED. and the land grants al
ready pledged will insur sufficient money
for the grading and tracklaylng.
There is another feature about the
new road. and that is that every en-
ployee must be a stakeholder and all
the officers must be selected from men in
actual employment on the road. When
the road is completed the earnings will
be distributed among the stockholders.
and only the stock subscriptions will be
used for building. The road will be
unique in another way, for there will be
no clerks, every officer filling Il clerical
position until the business has increased
to such an extent that clerks are found
necessary. The objective point will be
Salt Lake and through the southern
boundary OF the country.
Mr.. Vromen left for San Diego Sunday
evening, and he says that there is no
question but that the road will be a go,
and that it's success is assured. Rail
road men throughout the United States
have taken a hold Of the project, and
will see that it is pushed forward. In.
dorsements have been received from the
commercial bodies Of Diego and from
numerous lodges of railroad men in the
United States.

W OF A METEOR.

It Causes . Strange Change In . Ships
Compass.
A very curious observation of the
effects produced by a meteor seen at
sea is made public through the hydro
graphic bureau in Washington. Capt.
Redman, of the Enthusiastically Ne
rano, when a little more than two hun
dred miles southeast Of Cape Clear dur
ing a recent voyage from Baltimore to
'Havre, saw a meteor which appeared to
pass close to his ship.
An observation of the north star
taken soon after the appearance of the
meteor showed a surprising result. The
direction of the ships compass needle
degrees! Before the meteor passed the
needle had pointed about 5 degrees 80
minutes west of true north, but now it
pointed 5 degrees 80 minutes east Of
north.
That the meteor had caused the
change was indicated by the fact that
within twenty-four hours the needle
returned to it's former position, moving
slowly back about eleven degrees
toward the west.
Equally great effects have been pro-
duced upon ships compasses by light
ming, but in such cases the bolts have
actually struck the ship. The meteor
seen by Capt. Redman did not touch his
ship, and while he makes no estimate
Of it's actual distance it was probably
considerable, since there is no report Of
it's having been observed to fall into
the sea.

Cards in His Coffin.

At the little village of Nomps-au-val,,
near Amiens, a curious was
lately seen at a funeral, says the Lon
don Daily News. The deceased was a
card-playing enthusiast, piquet having
econ his favorite game. BY the terms
Of his will, a pack Of cards had to be
placed in the coffin with his body, and
certain of his card-playing friends were
to have a legacy of about a hundred
pounds apiece on condition that they
bore him to the grave and stopped on
the wayto drink a glass of wine at a
small tavern where, to quote his words,
he had spent SO many agreeable even
ings at cards" The instructions of the
will were strictly carried out, and a
considerable crowd assembled to see
the last Of the piquet player.

Rev. DR.. CUYLER has a characteristic
article in tins months number of The
National Temperance Advocate calling
upon public public school teachers to
make the most OF the law requiring that
IN the public schools the pupils shall be
instructed in regard to the effects of al
coholic stimulants upon the human
body. He says:
1.-The time to save people from drink
intoxlcants is before they begin. The
time to teach the simple A B G of alb
stlnence from deadly drinks is in. child
hood and youth. A whole generation is
coming on the stage who must be saved
now, II they are ever saved at all. And
you are the persons who can do this if
you have the heart and the will to un-
dertake the labor OF love. Many BOYS
IN our public schools learn nothing
about the nature or the danger of al
coholic beverages in their own homes"
In this connection, it may be stated
that a bill has passed the New York
State Legislature to secure the better
and more strict enforcement of the law
requiring scientific instruction in tenn
perance IN the public schools OF this
state. -

Beautiful Sight.

In "Transsiberian Savages" tho
author gives a description of a beau
tiful and unique phenomenon which
he witnessed off the shore of Sakha-
lin island. The bright blue water
was SO clear that for a long distance
from the shore he could see the bot
tom, and even the fishes, shoals of
which moving gently hither
and thither.
Above the swimming fish was a
strange phenomenon. The surface of
the water a like dazzling snow
This brilliant white surface, which
extended over an area of nearly a
square mile, was not sea foam, for,
with the exception of the ocean
swell, the water was placid as a lake.
My friend, seeing my delight, mo-
toned me to hand him one of the
rifles. He took no aim, but simply
fired.
Instantly the air was full of skim
ming snow0akes, scintillating in the
bright sunshine against the deep
blue sky right across the horizon,
while the surface of the water ceased
to be white and became uniform in
it's blueness.
This is the most beautiful sight
that this latitude has to offer, and
most fortunate was I in getting it.
Just at that season millions upon
millions of exquisitely white birds
migrate to that spot. They are whittier
than the whitest of gulls, and their
plumage is much more brilliant, SO
as to be quite dazzling in the sun.

opportunity of determining,

Madras-The Eurasians,

Only 1000 Europeans are to be
found in the immense population of
400, 900 souls, if we exclude tho H.
600 Eurasians who occupy the No
Mans Land, on the borders of black
and white. This hybrid race presents
insoluble difficulties to the political
economist. Craving for the social
recognition denied to a community
which originated in the vices of the
early European colonists, and scorned
alike by the pure blooded nations of
east and west, the sins of the fathers
seem visited upon the yellow chill
dren of this degenerate stock unto
the third and fourth generation.
By a curious freak of nature the
Eurasian of Portuguese descent sinks
step by step in the scale of color un-
til he becomes of darker hue than the
Hindoo of unblemished race, and the
hybrid Goanese of the present day
combine distinctively European fea-
lures with a skin of total blackness.
The unbalanced Eurasian character,
full OF conflicting elements, lacks the
sterling and enduring qualities
which command respect and insure
success, and this feeble type of hu-
manity has hitherto appeared inca
pable of elevation to vigor of thought
and action. ALI the Year Round.

A DOwry on Approval.

A curious custom prevails among
Roumanian peasants. When a Rou-
manian girl is of a manageable age,
all her trousseau, which has been
carefully woven, spun and embroid-
cred by her mother and herself, is
placed in a painted wooden box.
When a young man thinks of asking
to be allowed to pay his attentions to
the girl, he is at liberty first to open
the box, which is always placed con
veniently at hand, and examine the
trousseau. If the sutton is satisfied
with the quantity and quality of the
dowry, he makes a formal applica-
ton for the girls hand, but if, on
the contrary, the trousseau does not
please him, he is quite at liberty to
retire .-London Woman. .

Weeds Programme,

Hon. E. ID. Weed has a plan for
bringing about the free and unlim-
tied coinage of silver through the
action of the western republicans
Practically it amounts to this: The
republicans in the states west of the
Mississippi will maintain their organ
ization, but will not support the re-
publican nominee for president un-
less he is a free silver man. They
will try to elect their congressman
and electors as well as to carry the
several state legislatures, so as to be
able to elect the senators where there
are or will be vacancies. He thinks
the attitude of the republicans west
of the Mississippi will give their
party such standing that they will be
able to carry everything in those
states. They will be for a protect
i've tariff and all the other republican
measures, and will agree with the
eastern republicans on everything
except the silver issue. The GER
tainty that the republicans cannot
elect a president without the aid Of
the states most interested in silver
will probably cause the republicans
Of the east to nominate a free silver
man. Unless they do this, the re-
publican nominee will be defeated
at the polls, or the election will be
thrown into the house of representa-
tives; and he claims that in the
house. where each state has one vote.
the republicans will not be able tc
elect their candidate, and the repub-
lican western states will have the
balance Of power and compel the
election of a republican silver man
or at any rate a silver man.

signals, which took effect June /.
The signals adopted are similar to
those in use at the great mines of
the Comstock, and meet with the
approval of the engineers of this
district. The signals are good for
a depth of thirty levels or stations.
The full code is as follows:

FISH FOR THE RIVER.
Another Consignment is Expected
Here Next Month,

The fish commission are doing a
good work in stocking the rivers and
lakes in this section with valuable
fish. The German carp, put in the
river a few years ago, have multi
piled amazingly, and many large fish
of this variety have been caught.
The perch fishing in the Missouri at
many points is also good. This isdue
to the efforts of the fish commission,
who first planted them here a few
years ago. Captain J. ID. Taylor,
who has done a good deal to assist in
this good work, states that he has
just received a letter from fish COM
missioner Mcdonald, in which he
says that within the next thirty days
he will be here, bringing with him
1900 t~wo-year-old black bass, 1900
two-year-old croppiesand 1000 young
catfish. The catfish will be put in
the river at this point, but the bass
and croPPies it is proposed to put in
the Cascade Land %company's reser-
voir. Several lots Of black bass have
been put in the river during the past
few years, but they do not thrive as
we'll as the perch and other fish do.
Some bass have been caught in the
river but they are not plentiful.
The irrigating bitches are a source
of destruction to vast numbers of fish
in the rivers. but not withstanding
all the drawbacks, the Missouri river
in this section, is getting to afford
some good sport to the angler and it
will doubtless improve in the future.
