THE NEW TRAIN.
Passengers May Gro On It Under
Certain Conditions.

The new railroad time card which
went into effect on Sunday last, chang
ed the hour of departure of the after
noon Sacramento and San Francisco
local from 2 to 4:05 p. m. The ar
rangement met with complaints from
Sacramento citizens, as the change
would put them in San Francisco too
late to attend to any engagements they
might have on hand. The west-bound
fast train (new) was scheduled to pass
through Sacramento at 2;30 p. m.
Frank Miller and J. o. Coleman, Pres
ident and Secretary, respectively, of the
Chamber Of Commerce, acting for the
chamber, sent a protest to the officials
Of the company, requesting that the
afternoon local be scheduled to leave
for San Francisco at = D. m as here
tofore. They called attention to the
supposed fact that the 4:05 D. m. was
expected to make connection with the
Portland Sacramento express at Dav-
isville, which, in case the latter was
late, would make the local late in
reaching San Francisco.
The latter conclusion was incorrect.

RETIRED OFFICERS.
Their Legal Status Is Fully De"
fined

Deputy Attorney General Abbott has
just rendered an important decision as
to the status of officers commissioned
as United States volunteers with ref
erence to their relations to the National
Guard. The opinion, rendered at the
instance of a question from Adjutant
General Seamans, is as follows:
Under Section 1887 of the Political
Code, as amended in 1897, retired
officer, although not active, is still a
member of the National Guard, and is
subject to the orders of the Comman-
der in Chief, as provided in subdivis-
ions and of said section. This be-
ing true, the opinion rendered by you
to Ad1utant General Peeler on Feb
ruary 3, 1899, would apply, and the
said officer who accepts a commission
in the United States volunteer service,
ipso facto, ceases to be a member of
the National Guard of California in
any capacity.
Having ceased his connection with
the National Guard by his acceptance
of a commission in the United States
volunteer service, such officer, after his
said acceptance, and prior to his re-
entry into the National Guard in the
manner prescribed by law, could not
be placed upon the retired list of the
National Guard"

"GoOd Business" Looked For.
On examining the material aspect of the
exposition, as seen through French spec
tacles, it is not advancing too much to say
that thousands of Parisians have placed
all their hopes on next summers big show,
thanks to which they confidently expect to
do some very good business Figures
ranging from $4,000 to 100000 are now
quoted for restaurant concessions at the
exposition. 1t is fortunate indeed, for Wis
itors that price lists to be made out
before the opening day, and approved by
the management of the exposition, other
wise one might witness restauranteurS and
barkeeperS taking an unfair advantage of
the thirst that inevitably accompani MES an
exposition promenade. At the 1889 fair
there were granted eighty-six concessions
for restaurants, cafes beer resorts and
buffets: and the total amount received by
the authorities in rentals for these exceeded
$4,000. On the other hand, one of the
concessionaires, after paying all expenses.
netted the handsome profit of S50O,00O; four
or five others netted an average of 10000,
and the least fortunate of these purveyOrs
of liquid goods was $4,000 to the good when
the exposition closed. In 1900 it is antici-
pated that the receipts will greatly exceed
the above figures on account of the larger
number of visitors and the fact that the
fair will remain open until midnight.
Not alone will the capital benefit from
the exposition. but every part of France
will be laid under tribute to meet the de-
mandS of Paris and its hosts of visitors
The buildings of the exposition have given
employment to 10000 worltmen. The pro-
