''That's it, exactly"

''Honest?" said Paddy. II don't know

all. The ball hit Johnny Wilkes on the
center wire of his mask. He did not
even get his hands up. Johnny is a
pretty good catcher, as everybody will
admit, but he is not fortified against
all the surprises of this mortal life.
And if a Gatling gun had opened fire
on him he would not have been more
astonished than he was then. The
mask protected him from injury, but
he saw more stars than are set down OF
any reliable astronomical chart.
He walked slowly toward the ball,
which had gone to the roof and then
come down in a corner. Without say
ing a word he tossed it back to Paddy.
But he was ready next time.
BEEF" Edwards struck out. They
all struck out. Wilkes took a turn at
the bat, and he had seven strikes called
on him before he found the ball.
But this triumph did not make Paddy
lose his head or forget his part. He
continued throughout the practice to
wear the look of one whose daily food
is Greek roots. And, faithful to his
agreement, he did not open his mouth.

New pi.coverle. Of OH In California.

The fact that a carload of oil amount
ing to 6525 gallons, has been shipped from
Lindsay in Tulare county. will go some
way to confirm the theory that there Is
very large oil bearing region within the
limits of Tulare and Fresno counties.
Nor is the oil-bearng district limited to
three or four counties. There is good rea-
son to expect an oil development in
California that will be hardly less impor-
tant than that of Pennsylvania and Ohio.
1t is certain that the oil industry in this
state Is in its infancy. There Is an i'm
mense territory where the indications of oil
are good. when on the ground. not single
oil well has everabeen put down.
Prospectors needed the stimulus of good
local markets. These have been made for
them. The price of crude. oil recently
went up to dollar a barrel. This is not
a great price, but 1t admits of hand
some profit on production. In Los Angeles
an oil refining industry is turning out
distilled oil of a grade suitable for fuel In
cooking stoves. Not a great deal of re-
fined oil suitable for illumination has been
made from the California product. The
chief concern at present is to produce
enough to drive locomotives and other
heavy machinery.-Oakland Tribune.

A, Electric LIN. to Long Beach

1t was learned last week In Los Angeles.
that there is every prospect of an electric
road being constructed to connect Long
Beach with that city in the near future.
Two different schemes have been on foot
in Los Angeles for sometime past, backed
by a number of capitalists. The build
ing of such a road would rapidly increase
the value of real estate along it's route.
1t would extend in almost direct line
southwest from Los Angeles, passing
through the lands of Howard & BiXhy
and the Rcsecrans ranch. For the whole
distance the country is attractive and 1t
would be rapidly settled up if 1t possessed
good transportation facilities: The travel
would be heavy and the projectors think
the road would pay well The persons
interested will not yet allow their names
to be made public but it can be stated that
they have no connection with any other
Los Angeles enterprise,-Long Beach Eye.

This is a time of calm satisfaction. ap-

are nearly in commissions in their efforts
to "harmOnize" somebody with something
the Independent voter Is in harmony with

business to direct and control the votes of

THE SUGAR BOUNTY CASES

The decision of the supreme court of
the United States in the sugar bounty
cases is based on sentimental or moral
rather than legal considerations, and,
although it may seem presumptous to
criticise the unanimously agreed to find
ing of the highest court in the land, it
is safe to say that the courts conclusions
will be made the subject of wide and
pointed comment Of an unfavorable
character.
The opinion of the court in brief is that
the United States government by the
sugar bounty provisions of the revenue
act known as the Mckinley law of 1890
induced persons to enter upon the man
ufacture of sugar of the kinds on which
bounties were paid, because such manu-
facture, under the trade conditions then
prevailing, would not have been under
taken without either a tariff sufficient
to discourage the importation of foreign

r,cXin,ey and the Money QUESTION

Mr.. Mckinley Is clearly not a sound
money man in any sense of the word. So
no convictions whatever as to whether the
gold standard or the silver standard or a
double standard would be the best for the
dence that he has ever thought or tried
to think on that phase of the subject or
that he could think If he did try. He has
made a great many speeches on the sub
in the house of representatives. His
speeches are pure demagogy. They be-
tray an anxious desire to say what he
thinks will be most acceptable: they are
full of catch words and vague phrases and
pompous generalities.-New York Times.

II a man will sit for an hour looking

If man will sit for an hour looking
seaward, straight away to China"
from the Arcadia balcony at Santa
Monica, while the sturdy ocean breeze
fans him to restful speculation, he will
hardly fail to arrive al the conclusion
that nothing would be more deplorable,
from an aesthetic point of view, than the
conversion of such a lovely summer re-
sort into q harbor town. He will think
what a wretched change must be
wrought when great. hulking ships lie
at anchor in the bay. debarking mer-
chandise and registering sailors. and vile
smells be waited up to where he now
sits. instead of smart, health giving
doors from "the blue, the fresh, the ever
free" Pacific. If, in the end. "Uncle Col
lis" should have his way it will be a bad
way for Santa Monica as a seaside re-
sort. Redondo and Long Beach would
then be the great rivals for popular
favor

Things are not quite so serene and
harmonious in the Mckinley camp as is
popularity supposed. According TO New
York Journal Cleveland special there
are already indications of petty jeal-
ousies among the first mortgage bond
holders of the prospective Mckinley ad
ministrati ton. Mark Hanna has for some
time given indications that the firm Of
Mckinley, Hanna & Co. Is a close cor
poration, and it is said that he has al
ready begun the process of freezing out
the minority stockholders in way that
is likely to create many heartburnings
among the Mckinley boomers, even be-
fore the st. Louis convention.

a new volume entitled, Songs from the
North, compiled by Aubertine Wood

The songs were by Grieg, Kjerulf, Cal

Wan melodies. Miss Seamans made a
decided hit in her singing. and as a spe-

their work with numerous Aemrican au-

discussion of Finland was made espe-
