SAN BERNARDINNO
Roadmaking May or May Not Be Done
Notes of the Day

SAN BERNARDINO, Jan. 13.-It is
quite doubtful whether the county will
give the $500 asked for to complete the
Virginia Dale district road A month
or so ago Supervisors Randall, Turner
and Halbrook visited the district and
looked over the proposed routes. At
that time, based on observations, the
supervisors recommended that the coun-
ty should give 5000, as private individ-
uals had agreed to make up the balance.
But it now seems that those private in
dividuals did not come to the front and
that the $500 did not go far, hence the
petition for 500 more. The petition states
that such road would bring trade to
San Bernardino and that those inter-
ested are San Bernardino citizens The
matter has been referred to Supervisors
Cooley and nothing will be done until

crowning achievement of his career was in Hampton roads March g. 1862, when he commanded the famous Monitor in her duel with the Confederate ram Merrinac. This engagement has pass ed into history as one of the most won derful naval battles on record. July. II following President Lincoln approved the joint resolution of congress tender ing the thanks of congress and the American people to Lieutenant Worden and to the officers and men of the iron clad steamer Monitor under his com mand flor the skill and gallantry ex- hibited by them in the late remarkable battle between the Monitor and the rebel ironclad steamer Merrimac."
 Later in 1862, upon the recommenda- tion of the president, another vote of thanks was passed by congress to Lieu tenant Worden, who had meanwhile. in July of that year. been promoted to be a commander, authorizing his advance ment one grade for highly distinguished conduct in the engagement between the Monitor and the Merrimac. His victory was received with great demonstrations of joy throughout the United States. and in the cities Of the Atlantic coast north of Chesapeake bay public meet ings were held and resolutions of grat- itude to Lieutenant Worden passed with great enthusiasm. By his bravery and self sacrifice he had relieved that coast of the terrible dread they had ex- perienced from the stories of the Mer- rimac. which, it was expected, would destroy the Union fleet at Hampton roads and then start on a voyage of de- struction up the Atlantic.
 After the war his principal service was as superintendent of the Naval academy from 1869 to 1874 and as com mander of the European squadron from 1874 to 1877

Brute Instinct.

Natural laws pertain to all things, and certain laws govern the conduct of brute society. But that the actions of the lower animals are ever prompted by sense of duty is not only extreme ly hypothetical, but altogether doubt full The hen has strong maternal affec- ton, but that she has the least idea of the virtue of that affection any more than of the virtue of doing good for evil is in the extreme conjectural. It is often hard and even impossible to &C., count for the likes and dislikes of ami malls. The hen will sometimes destroy certain of her brood and the SOW de- vour her own offspring. Much of the cruelty is practiced upon the brutes for the lack of thought that they are not morally responsible. They are treated as if they are conscious of wickedly selfish acts. I once saw some men look ing at drowning mouse ill pail of water. Irebuked them, and one of them "a man perhaps 40 years old-turned to me and said, "The mouse deserves it. :" Why deserved it? Pray tell us Shall we say it was conscious of the sin of thieving? Others may try to view it in that way. 1 do not I knew another man who would hold rats with tongs and roast them alive in the fire. If he could not prove that they deserved their torture, he certainly wished to be- lieve they did If we recognize Crea- tor, is it not most rational to suppose that he has created the brutes morally irresponsible and would have us thus regard them, that our inclination to tor ture them would be held in restraint?- Forest and Stream.

Ministering spirits are all the time coming and going be- tween earth and heaven-the Bible teaches it-and do yGu suppose the old hero just ascended will not come down and help us in the battle that still goes on?

 In this battle the visible troops are not so mighty as the invisible. The gos- pei campaign began with the super natural-the midnight chant that woke the shepherds, the hushed sea, the eye sight given where the patient had been without the optic nerve, the sun oblit erated from the monday heavens, the law of gravitation loosing its grip as Christ ascended, and as the gospel cam paign began with the supernatural it will close with the supernatural, and the winds and the waves and the light nings and the earthquakes will come in on the right side and against the wrong side, and our ascended champions will return whether the world sees them or does not see them. I do not think that those great souls departed are going to do nothing hereafter but sing psalms, and play harps, and breathe franklin cense, and walk seas of glass mingled with fire The mission they fulfilled while in the body will be eclipsed by their post mortem mission, with facul- ties quickened and velocities multi piled, and it may have been to that our dying reformer referred when he said, "I long to be free' There may be big ger worlds than this to be redeemed and more gigantic abominations to be overthrown than this world ever saw, and the discipline got here may on- ly be preliminary drill for campaign in some other world and perhaps some other constellation.

 He was born in Brockton, Chautau- qua county, N. Y, in 1881.
 The first Pullman sleeping car was conceived in 1864. It was built in an old shed on the Alton railroad on the outskirts of Chicago. This was the handsomest car ever made up to that time. The principal feature was the construction of two berths, one above the other. which would be comfortable and convenient. The disposition of the mattresses was a difficult obstacle, but after many months of thought and hard work the Pioneer, with the upper berth Hinged to the side of the car near the roof, was finished. Many carbuilders inveighed against this, but MT. Pull man was sure 1t could be done proper ly If the car were made larger. The Pioneer as a result was a foot wider and 2h feet higher than any car that had hitherto been built in this country. The. new sleeping car cost $18,000. The old ones cost $4500. The Pioneer became famous as the car used in the funeral train of President Lincoln. It was run from Springfield to Chicago on the AL ton road.
 The business became so enormous and Pullman found the taxes assessed on his buildings in Chicago so heavy that he decided to locate them some miles away. He looked around and finally decided upon the present town of Pullman for the location of his vast business. Here he built what has been termed the Model City.
 MT. Pullman was married in 1867 to Miss Hattie Sanger of Chicago. Four children are living-George, Sanger, Harriet and Florence. The latter was parried to Frank O. Lowdc. of Chi sago two years ago.
