LOCAL RAILWAY NEWS
PRESIDENT RIPLEY GOES DIRECT
TO SAN DIEGO
Stories Found Baseless About Large
Shipment Of Treasure on the
Robbed Train-Notes

The moral courage of President Ripley
of the Santa Fe is something sublime. No
sooner does he arrive in the state than
he goes direct to the City of Grief, and
General Manager Nevin goes with him!
That is what happened yesterday. What
occurred after the arrival of the two
magnates is another story that the As
ISOLATED Press must tell. but it can be
imagined by those who know the griefer
and his ways. Mr.. Ripley's philosophy is
evidently that 1t is better to meet dread
full task boldly and discharge it than to
try to evade what must be. At the general
offices Of the company it was said with
great gravity that Mr.. Ripley was not ex-
pected to return to this city until Sunday
or Monday. That will give plenty of time
for talking, and that is what the San
Diegans want and about all they are likely
to get.
WHAT THEY GOT
There have been some very sensational
reports circulated about the amount Of
money taken by the robbers who held up
the Southern Pacific train at Goshen on
Tuesday night 1t has been said that there
was one shipment Of coin amounting to
many thousands of dollars from this city
of which the robbers heard and so at
tackled the train. This talk is all bum
combe. The shipment Of treasure was con-
siderably less than s25cO This is on the
authority of one of the high officials of the
Wells-Fargo Express company and can be
relied upon as correct. The only other
booty obtained by the robbers was the
registered mail from the postal car, which
consisted of twenty packages. the value
of which is of course, unknown.

instead of decreasing, as is usual at this
time of the year. Both the Santa Fe and

ness than has been the case for five years

The Water Suit

The Crystal Springs water suit is nearing
the end, so far as the introduction of testi-

interest TO the public was developed yes
terday, with the exception, perhaps, of
some testimony offered by the defense tend
ing to show that water has been found in
Los Angeles in the foundations of build
ings which had been dug deep in the soil.
This was introduced for the purpose of
proving the theory Of the Crystal Springs
Water company that there is large and
strong subterranean flow of water in this
section. The case will very likely be sub

HARP MUSIC.
II Il So Popular That Even yoyIce.

OK great present interest is the fact
that the public demand for the services
OF harpists is 30 great that comparative
novices are able to command prices
only paid to artists Of established fame
II other musical fields. This call Is uni
Versal and Its appeal is mainly to young
women. Scores of these, who have been
able to gain only q meager recognition
n q scanty livelihood as teachers and
performers upon the piano and violin,
nave turned their attention 70 the harp,
with the result that they are unable
to meet their engagements. The pre-
yailing price demanded by q profess
sional harplst for a single appearance
is $50. while the leaders In this revival
OF the harp are able TO command 500.
Viewed from a professional or even a
commercial standpoint, this movement
means ucces and prosperity to many
young women who have chosen A mu-
steal career and have either the shrewd-
ness Or the good fortune to depart from
ordinary lines and stake their chances
upon the most graceful, picturesque
and romantic instrument which has
ever responded to the facile touch OF a
