The Last Farewell.
1t was a long. hot march, and when
the comfortable-looking passenger cars
were sighted, al last, there was yell,
a confusion in the ranks. and the COM
mand of Halt was more welcome than
all the applause of the day. Hundreds
of friends. relatives and sweethearts
were there to say a last farewell ManE
had gone on ahead to the final parting
place and many more mad walked an
the way in company with the troops.
True women hugged and kissed brave
men, without the least disguise. They
were all doing the same thing at the
same time, and cared not for strange
eyes, anyway.
But leavetakings were brief-very brief.
Without breaking renks the troops went
aboard the coaches allotted them, and
talked through the windows to their
friends below.
Dusk was at hand when the conductor
call of "A-l-l-'boardi broke the last cling
ing embrace, ended the last farewell and
started the first train on its journey
South at S:15 Two more followed in
prompt succession, two freight trains
brought up the rear and thus the Dis
trict of Columbia volunteers got off for
Chickamauga.

NO CHANCE FOR A CONTRACT.

HE Mission street Boodler, with confidence
 which only could arise from long and intimate acquaintance with Colonel Mazuma informs its readers that it has mo water works for sale, to grind and no interests to serve but those of the people This is interesting but not news Every intel gent person in the State of California knows that the Boodler does not deal in water works" "axes" or interests Its business is confined entirely to get ting advertising contracts of corporations In these contracts 1t agrees for stipulated to main tain such attitude toward its victims will enable them to apparently overcome its opposition.
 The famous Southern Pacific $3o,ooo contract of this character Under that agreement the Booder to receive $Iooo month for thirty months in consideration of which it offered during that period to refrain from critcizng the railroad monopoly ex- cept in far criticism necessary to maintain its character of a sand lot sheet The thirty months covered State campaign and two Legislatures, and the contract consequently equivalent to two and half years of editorial silence upon the material interests" of the Southern Pacific Company.
 Who will say that this is not more profitable than selling water works grinding axes or serving the 'n- terests" of the people? Who would expect sheet like the Boodler its time on such trivalities when it can get $Iooo month for serving the Southern Pacific? It should be remembered that al- though the subject of this famous $3oooo contract
 
 vertised The Boodler took the trouble to the money. All it did was to keep dark and on the first of each and every month promptly present its voucher for $Iooo.
 The Call has at least good reason for protest ing against the entry of the Mission Boodler into the Los Angeles water fight The influence of the Boodler, so thoroughly are its motives under stood works in inverse ratio to the square of the object upon which it IS exerted That is the people always Copper" it. If the Booder were say that the shines it would be safe bet that the orb of day under cloud. So in the Los Angeles water fight even if the Booder did not succeed in getting fat advertising" contract out of the corporation which is endeavorng to purloin the water works of that city, 1t could do nothing but harm. Were it espouse the peoples interest inquiry would have to be undertaken immediately to determine whether somebody had not blundered in organizing the fight to the water plant.
 We trust the Boodler will perceive the extreme propriety of keeping out of this affair. There is no chance to get advertising contract, and any attempt 1t may make to break in can only result in confusion The Boodler for the present should con- fine itself to scandal, crime, lying and faking In those lines 1t has competitor.

Corona of August 1886 Corona of August 1896 WHICH ASSEMBLED THAT OBSERVED IN INDIA JANUARY 22 1898

Is composed. In such researches Profes- sor Campbell, chief of the Lick Observa- tory party, is especially skillful; but he has also obtained photographs of the in ner corona with the same forty-foot tele- scope so efficiently used by Professor Schaeberle in 1893 in Chile.
 The marvellous aerole that glimmered above the shadowed tracts of India for a brief two minutes has not, then, fitted by as mere vision of beauty. Seldom, if ever, have so many efficient equipments been conveyed to a strange cline, despite the rumors of plague, famine and political disturbance, and been favored with clear weather in so many localities at once. Foremost in the band of scientific. travel CTS are the Californian astronomers, with their unique instruments, their hope, their skill and their endurance; and foremost, no doubt, will be the result of their Ob- servations.
 The announcement of their success seems strangely opportune in this jubilee week, as if the gleam of the corona was needed to complete the significant cele- bration of the progress of the Golden State from a few scattered mining camps to a center of civilization and intellectual attainment.

Prices were also obtained on various suitable tracts of land.
 About five months ago a proposition was made direct by the owner to the Council to sell the city a tract of 276 acres of land for $360, 900. The Council appointed committee to take this proposition under advisement and to ask for proffers of land from other property owners This committee appointed a half dozen leading real estate men to serve, in an advisory capacity, in regard to prices and author ized them to act in conjunction with the Board of Trade park committee and a like body appointed by the Merchants Ex- change, the result being that proffers of land were secured from nearly a dozen owners of property suitable for park pur- poses, which sites were inspected by these three committees, acting in concert and a carefully prepared report as to their respective merits was presented to the Council committee. Later conference meetings were held by delegates selected rom nine local organizations and the subject fully discussed, these organiza- tons representing all portions of the city, with combined membership of probably 2OOO. At these meetings there was no di- vision of sentiment as to the value of parks as a factor in a city's growth or Of the importance of prompt action in this regard being taken by Oakland while ueSlraDle sites may be obtained at a reasonable outlay. In all of the proceed ings real estate men have shown public spirit of the highest order, freely giving their time, experience and service to fur thering the object in view, and in no in- stance obtruding their private interests or appearing as the advocates of any particular site.

gained by short exposure of the plate. To remedy this drawback Professor Burck halter has devised an ingenious instru> ment that allows an exposure, graduated by means of rapidly revolving screens, to suit the different degrees of luminosity. The true structure of the fantastic forms can thus be traced from the solar limb to the verge of invisibility.
 William M. Pierson, who provided funds for this experiment, is to be congratu- lated on his insight in aiding such a valu- able scientific advance. In accordance with it, no doubt, the preparations for the eclipse of 1900 will be conducted, for the genius of Charles Burckhalter has opened a new era in eclipse photography.
 But Californian triumphs do not end here. It is to be inferred from the word ing of the cablegram from the Lick Ob- servatory expedition that the existence of the reversing layer Ca spectroscopic name given to the portion of the chromo- sphere that rests on the solar surface) is a certainty.

BOOKS FOR THE PEOPLE.

n MONO the local items of the smaller papers of / \ the interior there are frequent announcements of entertainments of one form and another given for the purpose of raising money to purchase books for reading circles lay the foundations of free circulating libraries. These items attest the eagerness of persons who live in remote districts to obtain the advantages of library, and afford con- elusive proof of the benefit that would result from the establishment in this State of the travelling library system
 The plan projected for the proposed travelling - braries is simple and inexpensive The first step IS to be the formation of library associations through out the State. These need not be large A dozen responsible property holders is sufficient to organize and maintain one, and there is hardly any community in California small that cannot furnish library membership to that extent.
 For the use of these associations the State is to furnish out of its many volumes at Sacramento a series of libraries containing from fifty to one hun dred books each. These to be sent from one as sociation to another, each association paying the freight charges and guaranteeing the preservation of the books and their return to the State The asso- cation may restrict the of the books to its own members or may circulate them generally as it pleases. When set of books has been read it is packed in the provided for it and forwarded to another association, while new set is received in ex change.
 The plan has been put to the test of practice in several States in the East and has been found bene hcal in every respect It is the most economical of providing standard works for the general mass of readers in rural communities and is the only way to make State library accessible to the great ma jority of the taxpayers who support it.
 The papers of the interior which are giving SO much kindly notice to the entertainments undertaken among their readers to establish libraries and reading circles should direct attention to the travel ing library system It is far superior in every way to the old form of making small collections Of books ir. each sparsely settled community inasuch as it pro- vides such communities with new books as fast as desired and gives far wider choice to select from
 No State in the Union has greater need for trav- cling libraries than California since few States are SO thinly settled, and in are the people more in telligent given to the habit of reading and studying standard works In the State library at Sacramento there is a splendid store of volumes from which to draw the proposed sets of books for State circulation The cost of putting the plan into prac- tce would be little, and if general demand is made for it the next Legislature be counted on to pro- vide it.
