A Race Against Time.

The Humane Society has entered a
vigorous protest against the proceedings
of man who proposed to ride horse
from New York to Chicago in race
against time. The idea was to compel
the horse, if possible, to average one
hundred and twenty five miles day.
This sort of things is on level with
the six-day bicycle races which have re-
Gently created unpleasant sensations,
There is no sense in it. Horss-racing on
track is an entirely different thing.
The thoroughbred usually enjoys the per-
torrance as much as the spectators, if one
can judge by appearances. He is a
creature carefully bred by men for this
express purpose. His 1.-the body, strong
muscles, sensitive nerves, and almost
human intelligence, are all adapted to
the business Of speeding over the track,
and he instinctively seeks the pleasure
of exercising his powers. This is natural
to every creature. The athlete enjoys
using his muscles, the mechanic delights
in doing good bit OF work; the artist
revels in working out a conception. The
hunting dog is as eager for the hunt as
the sportsman. It is all part of the same
plan. Absolute laziness is foreign to
the laws Of the universe. A man or a
beast delights in the work for which he
is fitted. If he does not, it is sign that
he is not in the right work, or that
something IS wrong with him.
But six-day bicycle races and long-dis-
tance horse races are different matter.
They are trials of endurance, and while
the power of endurance is good thing
there are many occasions on which it
can be developed without cruelty tn
animals or man. When n dam brakes
and it is necessary to ride night and day
to warn people of flood, there is nc
thought of the strain; but is likely to
fall on one not particularly qualified foi
it. There is no useful purpose to be
served by such artificial trials Of
strength.

A Suggestion.

The writer has frequently motto
ed that in the busy seasons there
was exceedingly little room to
spare in the bayou about South
ern Pacific Il. r. Cos transfer
waryes The bayou is narrow at
at this point and when two or
more boats and their barges are
assembled there it about fills up
the stream.
There could be cut basin in
the opposite bank, which is low
for some distance back and worth
less as 1T is. similar to the one cut
by the Iberia Cypress Co. at their
mill, which would greatly increase
the harbor facilities We trust
that the Company's increasing
bayou trade will make such an
improvement necessary at this
place.

A New Dredge

The new dredge boat, recently
built by Mr.. Louis Anglers, at the
ship yards of the Iberia Cypress
Company, was given a pretty
thorough test during the past two
weeks. She was put to work
dredging out the bayou in front OF
the two big mills. A very liberal
portion of the bayou's bottom was
taken out, bringing deep water up
to the very edges of the banks.
At one place, near the sawmill,
the banks were cut back about 80
feet, thus making a most excellent
harbor for the Co.'S boats and
barges. By this means the chan.
mel Will not be blockaded to them
selves, nor other bayou crafts.
This work being most satlsfac.
torily completed, the dredge left
on last Saturday for the cypress
swamps, where she will be employ

operate it, and removes one cube

Dividends Paid.

The New Iberia Oil s. Mineral
Drilling Company paid off their
first dividends this week.
Mr.. Jno. A. Gebert, the Presi-
dent Of tire company, was out
looking up the obligations of the
company and seeing that they
were paid. This done, the cash
subscribed for the capital stock
was returned to the individual
subscribers, less their pro rata of
the expense the company had gone
to and incurred. This amounted
to about 20 per ct. of the amount
of stock subcribed for.
The organization has not really
been dissolved, but, there being
no probability of their doing any
thing'in the drilling line very soon,
it was deemed best not to keep
the money tied up in bank. The
charter and organization still
stands, and those who have con-
tribnted to the paying off the in.
debtedness still have their stock,
50 per cent being due thereon

STREET CAR STRIKE ON .BY A NEW METHOD
SAN FRANCISCO LINES ARE TIED
UP.
United Railways Lines Are Entirely
stopped-Geary Street Men Go Out
1t Is Alleged Through intimidation.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 2l.-The
street car strike is on. Just one pas
senger car was run over each of the
street lines operated by the United
Railways in this city Yesterday Every
other car belonging to the new corpOr-
alton was held in the barns and no ef-
fort was made to resume the service
that was so suddenly terminated by
the strike order Saturday night The
men employed on the Geary-street line
went out early in the day, and this left
the cars running on California, Hyde
and Union streets to bear the burden
OF traffic of the whole city. OF course,
they We're unequal to the demands
made upon them, and the result was
that several hundred conveyances
were operated by independent specu-
lators, who followed the established
routes.
Although both sides did much work
during the day, the strike stood last
night just as it did in the beginning
President Holland of the company said
with emphasis that he would not re-
cede from the position he had taken
when he first supported General Man
ager Ninings refusal to deal with the

Mayor Schmitz last night with coun-
sci representing all the interests in
volved, and talk over the situation, but
he sent word that ne was too i'll to at
tend meeting, and asked that it go
over until today. This means that no
cars will be running this morning.
During the day there was not a sin
gle case of violence, The public was
disposed to look with good humor on
the situation, and either walked or pat
rOnized the nOndescript vehicles which
hid for their patronage.
The action of the Geary-street EN-
ployes in quitting work surprised even
the strike committee. They had not
been ordered out, but as soon as the
cars began leaving the barn at First
avenue and Point Lobos street a crowd
began to gather. No policemen had
been sent to that neighborhood because
the Geary-stTeet line does not belong
to the United Railways and no trouble
was expected. But several hundred
men succeeded in getting the crew of
car to abandon it at ID street and
Tenth avenue about $3.50 O'Clock in the
morning, and then the crowd stopped
every other car that came up.
