EVOLUTION OF RAILS.
The Southern Pacific Introducing the
Latest Pattern That Was Old
Years Ago.

Years Ago.
The Southern Paciic Company's engi.
neers have introduced new rail, which
represents the latest thing in the evoiu-
tion Of railroad engineering. The rail is
the product of practical experience rather
than direct result of engineering thought
or science, and what appears particularly
remarkable about it is that this latest form
is almost an exact counterpart of the first
designs.
The new style OF steel rail is being laid
oyer stretch OF twenty-five miles of track
across the San Goronio Pass, between Los
Angeles and the desert, at the rate of
about one-third of mile day. It is a
75-pound rail, calculated to stand the
greatest possible amount of wear and tear.
In chemical composition and form it is up
to date, being so constituted as to be
harder and tougher than ever before, and
fat on top and nearly half as wide again
as the old pattern, which is still in gen.
eral use.
Such standards in railroad engineering
are set by the National Society of Civil
Engineers. For many years past this en-
inent body heard papers read and dis
cussed, and considered pages and pages OF
figures which demonstrated that circu-
lar-top rail was the best of all patterns.
And, indeed, it was proved by mathe-
matical lore that that pattern should be
adopted, and 1t was made the standard
type of American rail. Actual applica-
ton of the convex-topped rail, however,
did not confirm scientific theories, il
seems, and it has developed that the old
fashioned broad and fiat pattern is now
the standard for railroad engineers.

The recently elected field officers OF the

Colonel Macdonald has issued orders

them in the armory on Page street. There
NAV be some murmuring in the ranks and
along the commissioned line, but the

The transfer will oblige the Second Brig

veterans insist on recognizing old FASH

management.

Track and Paddock Items.

II. j. BALDWIN has secured new trainer.
charles Green, who formerly trained for
Dan Honig and in his time owned some
good racehorses, arrived from New
Orleans on Friday and will take charge of
the Santa Anita string.
. George E. Smith (Pittsburg PhiD did
not bear pleasant look on his placid
countenance after the last race. The book
makers began to rub when they perceived
him backing his horse Ed Kearney, and
to was about the best he got.
At the conclusion of the race, when the
crowd in the betting-ring was thinning out
fast, the quiet plunger fingered longer.
George Rose, the bookmaker, standing
in front of his stand, espied the plunger
and accosted him with the remark: ''Well,
Mr.. Smith, my old horse beat you," re-
ferring to Nephew, who headed Ed
Kearney out for the place. Pittsburg
Phil was not in good humor and smiled
dryly. He said "Yesi but / would like
to bet you $1,000 against $500 my horse can
day."
Mr.. Rose replied that he would like to
sell him Nephew for $780, but this answer
brought no response. Finally the penciler
told Phil that he would consult his trainer,
and if the latter thought advisable he
would make the match. Trainer Lottridge
was then consulted, and Tommy tnlnKlng
the little game old chestnut had 1 TO
chance, advised his employer to accept the
proposition. The consent of the jockey
club will be asked to-day to decide the
merits of the two horses, and tomorrow
the race-going public will have chance
to see which bookmaker or plunger is the
shrewder matchmaker.
AS though matchmaking were conta-
gious, another match is also on the tapls.
crowd of horsemen were arguing the
merits of different horses at the Baldwin
Hotel last evening and Charley Quinn and
The Sage of Flosden is the possessor of
both Major Cook and Sir Richard. Quinn
was of the opinion that the Major could
beat the gray horse six furlongs, each to
carry 110 pounds. Mr.. Holly thought
different, and forfeit is up for a match at
$2500 a side. In event of it being con-
summated. Major Cook will be turned
over to the care of Quinn.

TROLLEY TRIPPERS.
Big Times at the Grounds Planned for
To-Day-Parachute Drop Out of
the Ordinary.

The pleasant weather has entirely reju-
venated the water-chutes on Haight street,
and now the boats cannot go fast enough
and the .rolleys cannot be put upon the
cable often enough to accommodate the
''chute shooters and 'trolley trippers. I"
On account of the great crush OF last Sun
day, it has been decided to open the
grounds at 10 o'clock this morning, and
from that time on until IL at night the
boats will rush down the long slide and
the trolley will be tripped.
AT o'clock in the afternoon Emil
Markeberg, the little German aeronaut,
will make balloon ascension and para
chute drop, hanging by his teeth. He has
made number of ascensions at the chutes
and with uniform success. Open-air con-
certs will be given afternoon and evening,
and after the sun goes down the grounds
will be Illuminated with hundreds OF col
ored incandescent lights.

But says DR.. Wendte, the Bishop was opposed
to our public schools.
Respectfully referred to the Rev. Father
Gleason or the Rev. Father White.
(d) Cardinal Newman.
Then Dr. Wendte few at higher game. He
quoted Cardinal Newman as authority for the
deduction that no Catholic could take an oath
OF allegiance without the consent of Rome
showed that Newman was speaking of a.
certain well-defined instance in which the
ridiculous policy of the English Government
got them into trouble.
DR.. Wendte threw the burden on Gladstone
VINO VINO states that pledges were given by the
Roman Catholics Of England to obtain relief
from persecution, which pledges were deliber-
ately broken afterward.
In answer I stated that Gladstone was
have made blunder from which a few hours
reading of Hansard would have saved him
Gladstone's contention was that the Roman
Catholics in l7S1 declared that they did not
J belleye In Papal fnfallibility and that it was
on tnis CONDITION they were relieved of certain
disabilities. This assertion was not trne IN
reailty the Catholics refused TO accept relief
under such conditions and the Catholic
prelates -petitioned Parliament not to grant
relief under misapprehension as to the real
teaching OF the church. So much for Glad
stone.
(e) Father Jouin.
In his fourth letter on the relations of church
ana state Dr. Wendte produced textbook by
the Rev. Louis Jouin. In order to prove that
California Catholics were taught that the
chureh has civil authority over the state DR..
Wendte clamly suppressed plain statement
oy Jouln that the "church wields q spiritual
power only"
When called his attention to this peculiar
manipulation OF authorities he merely pro-
ceeded to quote more Jonin, as usual garbfing
II. ana leaving out significant passages. Thus
he began his extract in the middle of para
graph, the opening sentences of which are:
"Ihe normal condition of society REQUIRES
that both church and state should act in har-
mony. that there should be union among
them. This union consists neither in the
absorption Of the state by the church nor in

lack in argument
~ BoNIFACE VIII.
Evidently DR.. Wendte considered the Bull
IMAM Sanctam as one of his strongest points
thought that in explaining the Catholic
theory of the relations between church and
State and the relations between the Pope and
the Emperor, as laid down by medieval juris-
prudence, had explained the true meaning of
that document. But DR.. Wendte was not sat
1shed. He came into the arena a second time.
brandishing the Bull and dealing death and
destruction TO my arguments
Though smarting under the accusation of
verbos1ty was compelled, therefore, to enter
on lengthy explanation of this bull and to
show that Dr. Wendte's description of its con-
tents was both misleading and untrue From
an examination of the text l made evident
that
l. The definition" or that part which ia
"of faith" and must be accepted by all Catho-
lies: deals with the universal spiritual primacy
OF the Pope over the church.
z. In the augmentation in the BODY of the
document, which augmentation, of course, is
not OF faith, Boniface showed the distinction
OF the spiritual and TEMPORAL powers.
3. He declared that the spiritual power
was welded by the church, the temporal by
the State.
A. He declared that the temporal power
should be guided by the moral law natural
and revealed
5. He declared that the civil authority should
protect the rights of the church.
stated that these principles were all acted
on in America to-day, and that they were
doubly applicable in condition of society
Ike that OF the middle ages, when all Europe
was Catholic and there was no separation of
Church and State.
DR.. Wendte said no more about the Bnll
IMAM Sanctam, but he modestly declared: az
do not intend to claim any personal victory',
1t will be seen from this review that Dr.
Wendte made dismal failure of the ATTEMPT
to prove the claim of ecclesiastical supremacy
over civil affairs from what he denominated
canon law. In order. however, to make some
show at defending the accuracy OF Protestant
scholarship" about which he boasted so loud
ly and SO long he had recourse TO what can
only call
POISONING THE WELLS"
When dealing with his so-called quotations
from Catholic authorities / had recourse to
the only means allowed among scholars to test
he'value OF these quotations. / hunted up the
references, obtained the original authorities,
and carefully compared the citation with the
text. Hence it was that was able to speak
confidently and with authority on the genu-
ineness or relevancy of these sentiments.
DR.. Wendte tried to break the force of this
damaging disclosure of the Brummagem char
acter OF his erudition by calling all Catholic
writers liars and forgers. He wrote, II regret
10 say, Roman Catholic historians and dog
matlsts are not always trustworthy where the
interests OF their church are involved" In his
last letter he returns to the charge, and speaks
OF the garbled and imperfect editions which
the Catnolic church sometimes employs"
1t is evident that If this accusation be true
