The Bakersfield Californian" smashes
plain and malignant lie. 1t quotes an
exchange which says that on the line of
the Southern Pacific Railroad Company
over the great Mohave Desert, where
water is procurable only at railway sta
tions, it is refused to those who drive
or walk across the desert, and that
in consequence lives are lost. Then fol-
lows bitter and mournful TRADE against
the railroad company aided. as is
charged, at the cost of the Govern
ment, ETC., ETC. This the Cali
fornian' proceeds to denounce as
is deserved. The road was not
subsidized road, men are not re-
fused water at the stations, but on the
contrary are given water when they ask
for it wherever the company has it. More
than that, the orders are to stop trains
to succor any unfortunates caught out
upon the desert, and suffering for food
or water. It is added that many and
many life has been saved by this hu-
name policy, and many and many hu-
man creature relieved Of distress. Yet
1t is likely that the story quoted by our
contemporary will go the rounds. and
by accretion gain as it rolls, until pres
emily we shall run across it trebled in
dramatic intensity and villainous men

press his opinion at the ballot box on
this subject. There should be no shirk-
ing of responsibility in the face Of the
necessity that confronts the city. We
believe the submitted plan should be
adopted for reasons heretofore ad-
vanced. These are simple and few, but
one is sufficient, namely, drainage must
be provided In some form for the COM
ing winter; temporary provision will
simply be money wasted the submitted
plan is for a permanency, and is really
but new and better adjustment of the
plan now in use on street, which is
costly, inadequate and liable to col
lapse. The plan is not provision for a
general sewer system for collection and
disposal of sewage. That this city must
have of a better character than the
present. But we see in the outfall drain
nothing that will initiate against or
postpone the adoption of a reformed
sewer and sewage disposal system un-
der which the offensive and dangerous
cesspools may be abandoned.

Mars and Uranus are still inconspicuous
on account of their great distance at this
time from US, but we are rapidly gaining
ON them and in few more months we Will
be nearest possible to them.
Saturn is already a conspicuous object,
and soon we may have the pleasure OF OBJ
serving this curious ringed world in the
evening.
If the observer will turn his face to the
south about o'clock he will see a rich
cluster Of stars high up in the heavens
and spread over wide extent of the sky.
This is the constellation Orion, noted
Tor Its abundance of stars and nebulae.
The three stars nearly in a horizontal line
are known as the Belt or Bands OF
orion, mentioned Sublimeiy in the book
of Job. lc is sometimes called the Ell and
Yard, for these three stars form line
about three degrees long, which serves
as a convenient unit of measure In esti-
mating distances by the eye alone.
Directly below the Belt, visible to the
naked eye on a dark night is the cele-
brated nebula of Orion, justly consid-
cred the greatest marvel of the heaV-
ems. Above the Belt about seven degrees
is red star called Betelgeuse, and about
as far below is Rigel of the first magni-
tude. Toward the northwest is a large
bright star, Capella in Auriga. 1t is es-
umated that the distance of this star is
so great that it takes 1,S00 years for its
light to reach us.
East of Orion blazes Sirius, the bright
est of the fixed stars. The ancients de-
scribed this star as red; it is now decid-
eddy white. The ancient Egyptians wor-
shipped this star, and many of their tenn
pies were orientated TO it. 1t was, in
fact. a personifcation of their god Isis.
Sirius has a companion revolving around
1t at a distance of twenty-eight times
that of the sun from the earth, and al
though it is nearly the size of our sun
only the most powerful telescope can sep
arare IT from principal star. 1t is esti-
mated that Sirius itself it 1000 times as
large as our sun and that its light re-
quires seventeen years to reach us. 1t is
receding from US at a rate of twenty
two miles per second, or sixty times as
fast as the swiftest cannon ball.

John Montgomery Ward, who retired
from base ball last year to practice law,
but who was still retained on New York's
reserve list, was released from reserva-

could come near plotting any of the big

At the annual meeting of the big league
in New York last week President Nick
Young was presented with a silver SER

TIED Up WITH NEW RULES.
a New Order of Things in the Ma
tionai League.

n new uEnfE OF THINGS IN tne Va
fiOnai League.
At the annual meeting OF the National
Base Ball League. held in New York last
week, the classification Of the minor
leagues under the national agree
ment was changed somewhat. Minor
league clubs. which apply for pro-
lection, will be classified in pro-
portion TO the population Of the city which
they represent. There will be six grades:
A, 3, c, d. f. and +. and the fees in
GLIDING right of reservation for each club
i'm these grades will be SIS, $50 50. $50
$50 and SO respectively The drafting Of
players from these classes will cost as
follows: Glass A. 500; b, 800; c. 500; d,
500; +. SIS. and +. so.
National League clubs are forbidden to
negotiate with "a player in minor league
during the season, without notifying the
club 10 which the player belongs. Appli-
cations for membership in the various
classes must be made annually as mem
bershtp ceases at the end of each season.
Under the agreement, no club, a mem
Der of a minor league, can enter into ne
gOtlatOns TO become a member of or to
cooperate with any organization which
Will in any way conflict with the league.
Inis is the rule which prevented Atlanta
from coming in the Southeastern League
and which caused the break of that or
ganiZauon. Atlanta was already a mem
Der Of the Southern League. and, accord
ing to this rule, could have nothing to do
with the Southeastern.
There were no changes in the rules,
with the exception of those referring to
the discipline and filming Of players. The
umpire Is given much more latitude in
dealing with refractory players, and this
ought to operate for the good A reso-
luton TO dispense with the Temple Cup

The comet, which appears to be a small

ton Verge by Mr.. B. D. Perrine of the
Lick observatory on Nov. II. It's position
at that time was in right ascension, thir-
teen hours, A minutes, and north declina-
ton 1 degree, 40 minutes. This point of the
heavens now rises about o'clock D. m,
almost directly in the east. AS three accu-

Hermann the Great, and John David
son, now building the new Great North
ern theater in Chicago, sat next to each
other at a dinner the other night. Mr..
Davidson mentioned that a set of valua-
bic plans to be used in the construction
of his theater had disappeared, and he
had no duplicates. Just then a bottle of
wine was opened and placed on the table.
Hermann asked him to hand him the
bottle. He then poured the contents into
a pitcher, deity broke the neck of the
bottle and pulled from the interior the
missing plans. Mr.. Davidson was not
only thunderstruck. but delighted, and as
a token of his appreciation presented a
bicycle to Mr. and Mrs. Hermann. They
have the wheel with them in Savannah.
