12 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25, 1896 RATES WILL COME BEFORE THE COURT Action by the Railroad Commissioners Will Not Bar That. Proceedings Will Be Rapid Fol- Jowing the Demurrer Is Settled. Thorough Inquiry With the Aid of All Facilities Procurable for Reaching Facts. Whether the Board of Railroad Com- missioners shall or shall not elect to go ahead and investigate the rates of the Southern Pacific Company it is certain that the rates will be carefully inquired intofin the United States Circuit Court, before Judge McKenna. This fact has been made public previously thrsagh the columns of THE CAarLL. Nothing has hap- pened to change this programme, nor will anything happen to set it aside, unless the court shall sustain the demurrer which vecently was filed by the Attorney-Gen- eral. Shoula the demurrer be overrnled there is no doubt that the answer of special counsel for the Railroad Commissioners, headed by the Aetorney-General, will get in their answer promptly, and events will rapidly develop thereafter. The court will furnish all the machinery necessary for an expert examination of books, tariffs, accounts, railway officials, and all rces of information which may yield gnt upon the proper basis of rate- While counsel for the Railroad Commis- sioners have invariably declined to be in- terviewed on the subject of their acts and titude concerning the pending contro- information is authentically de- that they do not believe that the railroads of this State can be estimated as worth any more than they can be repro- duced for as a basis for estimating the reasonableness of rates. They also believe that, while operating expenses may be made by skiliful bookkeeping to appear to be very heavy, it will not be impossible nor very difficult to ascertain what the actual facts are. So, whatever the Railroad Commission- do the pending proceedings in e United States Circuit Court furnish the means for the most complete investi- pation into the operations of the South- ern Pacific Company thet has been made, and these opportunities will be made use fully. While the Railroad Commissioners may chinery for such work is more easi hand in the court. The appearance of ses who are competent to discuss the 1aking up of freight tariffs on even terms h the Southern Pacific Company might e a sensation, but that may be the only way to get at the fac SHE BIDED HER TIME. He Told Her All About a Wonderful Creek and Got a Pointer in Return. Perhaps the most popular man con- nected with the Yellowstone P: Trans- | portation €ompany is Captain E. C. Culver | of Gardner. In addition to the duties of Justice of the Peace he makes a daily trip on the park train and personally inter- views every man, boy, woman and child who travels on it. He is a walking encyclopedia of park information. He knows the height of every peak, the altitude of every import- ant location and can give you Professor Hayden’s theory of the park’s geologica! formation. Besides all this he is a prince of good-feliows and has a fund of humor which sometimes carries him away when touching up descriptions and legends of the park. Some time ago the captain had an ex- perience which was too good to keep, and he gave it away to a friend in town. He was going from the springs to Cinnabar, and there were these very bright young ladies on the coach. One of them asked if it were customary to have so many mosquitoes in so high an altitude. The captain assured her that it was notun- usual; that they were increasing year by vear; that no mosquitoés were ever known in the park until, about eight years azo, a New Jersey schoolma’m- had care- lessly inclosed some in her trunk and let them outat Mammoth Hot Springs, when, like rabbits in Australia, they became an increasing pest. All agreed that it was remarkable, but one girl seemed to carry a smile of in- /met yesterday afternoon at Dr. credulity. As the conversation continued Mr. Culver was asked what he considered the most remarkable thing in the park. He said that if beauty and grandeur were to be left out of the count, he thought the most‘‘remarkeble thing’ was Alum Creek, a little stream putting into the river between the falls and the lake. Origininally, he said, the distance be- tween the hotels at the lake and the falis was twenty-six miles, but when they com- menced to sprinkle the road between the two places with water taken from Alum Creek some years ago they soon found the distance between the hotels shortened by about eight miles. As the hotels were then oniy about eighteen miles apart and the road still shrinking, the super.n- tendent ordered them to use no more water from Alum Creek. And then the captain told another little legend about the creek that was gunite well aunthenti- cated. Last year, he said, a party went through the park on a camving tour, and a young lady with them came into the park wearing No. 8 shoes. Alter camping on Alum Creek two days and bathing her feet she went home wearing a pair of Ivo. 2 gaiters, At this point the girl with the incredu- lous smile said to him: “Don’t you think it would be a good plan to bathe your bead in that creek a time or two?”’—Livingston Post. THE DOMINIE'S LUCK. A Gambler Willing to Pay Liberally for the Newcomer’s Secret. A tew years ago, before the iron horse bad brougnt in a rush of settlers and had made traveling a pleasure as compared with the old stage-coach days, a devout Methodist minister had invaded the foot- hills of the Rockies and, with light heart and light pocket, was penetrating as best he could into the further interior, where he hoped to carry the glad tidings to the mining camps. One day, after Calgary bad been left bebind and when the stage storped to make its change of horses at a spot not particularly attractive, there being only a few miners’ huts and a board- ing-house or two, he signified bis inten- tion to walk a mile or 20 until the stage shouid overtake him. Phiiosopbizing on the great future in store for this wonderful country he came to the rorks of a tra:l and was doubtfui as to which he ought to take. He chose one, however, and walking on for some time and the stage not overtaking him he re- traced his steps, only to find, by the well- defined marks in the trail, that the stage coach had gone by on the otber trail. There was nothing for it but to return to the settlement and wait another week for the next stage. It was Saturday and the next day was Sunday, so he decided to improve the op- portunity by giving a sermon to the miners. “His discourse was eloquent, and that there should be no question about his denominational leaningsa collection was taken up, at the suggestion of one of the audience. The next day Rabe Garulson came up from Montana. Rabe was oneof the most expert gamblers in the Western country, and made periodical visits to the mining camps for the purpose of entertaining the boys, and, incidentally, helping himself. He was popular, and his presence in the town meant a holiday for the entire camp. Noticing the stranger over in the corner of the room, Rabe asked the lanalord who ne was. He was confidentially informed that he was a knowing one, that he had a new gameand had cleaned the boys out on Sunday. “Cleaned them out, eh? Well, he must have a new game.” “Yes; cleaned them out. They have not a ‘bit’ left.” Shortly afterward Rabe made his way over to the stranger and, after the usual remarks as to the weather, said: “They tell me you have gota new game. Now, I’m no hog, but am willing to pay you well if vou let me into it.” & *“Why, I don’t understand you,” said the preacher. “Oh, well, that’s all right; but if you cleaned out the boys it must be a good one, and I'll pay well for it.” Again came the protest that hislanguage was not understood. At last it began to dewn on Rabe that there was some mis- understanding. Returning to the “You've put me on the wrong lay. lieve that man’s a preacher.” ‘‘Why, certainly. He preached a corker of a sermon yesterday, and at collection time the boys showed their appreciation by giving him every cent they had.” Rabe went back to the minister’s corner, and, making his apologies, said, diving into his pockets, ‘‘Here, you may not want this yourself, but you may meet some one who does,” he placed a $50 roll in the bands of the preacher. It wasa game that called even him.—Brandon Sun. landlord he said: I be- e ——— SEEING WITH THE SQUL'S EYE Psychologists Listen to Kemarkable Statements. The Buffalo Psychical Research Society Sarah Morris’ home on Franklin street to listen to Senor Julian de Ovies on “The X Rays of Psychology a Known Quantity."’ Senor de Ovies spoke for over an hour on the fundamental principles of psy- chology, pointing out the mistake partici- poted in quite generally, even by savants, that psycholozy was the science of the mind as it affected the properties of the five senses, and as their functions are known and observed. Itisnot in this way that the lecturer treated his subject. He went further than this. With_the physical eye man can see ob- jects. His range of vision can pierce a imited distance in space. All this his mental eye can do, and much more. The mental eye is restricted by no distance limitations. Benor de Ovies taught that the blicd man whose sightless orbs stare into vacancy in a physical sense can yet see by means of his mental eye. He dis- peiled the terrors of blindness. Not by word of wouth did he prove his assertion but he essayed to give practical demonstra- tion of its truth. The audience, which filled all the available space in the parlors, listened with rapt attention to the truly wonderful doctrines voiced by the lec- turer, and when it came to demonstrating bis peliefs and expositions of the powers of the mental eye were given, the audience was spellbound. Itis hard to believe that a blind man can read a book. Yet he did it. IHe gave answers blindfold to written questions which he had never seen. He distinguished colors by the sense of feel- ing alone. More than this, he distin- guished colors without so much as touch- ing them. But before making these demonstrations be expiained the reasons why they were made possible. He said that he was not possessed of any occult gifts peculiar to bhimself. Any person excepting a fool or an imbecile had within him this mind’s eye, which couid be brought under con- trol if a proper knowiedge of the work- ings and possibilities were understood. The student in psychical research edu- cates the god within him, while the physi- cal man only «ducates the animal within him. The X ray can only please that sense called sight, while the X ray of the soul is that which sees because 1t feels. When we see objects with our soul’s eye we need no sense of touch; we need no physical eyes to see, nor ears to hear. He cited the case of the famous Miss Kellar, who is blind, deaf and dumb, yet reads and writes on subjects which a per- son with physical sight would think it were absolutely imperative to see in order to describe. She is enabled to do this by the X ray of the soul which every man and woman possesses. “Jesus Christ never came on earth to mystify us,” said Senor de Ovies. “The development of the psychical power be- longs to every one of us, and can be as- sisted by proper diet, proper mode of living, charity, love to all, and other aids to a more rapid development. The soul is the real ‘us,’ the ego. ~ When we speak of toe mind of man in the generally accepted sense, we make a mistake. It has noth- ing to do with the soul whatsoever. There is an enveloping something which surrounds and is attached to the body of every being by a cord. This is called "the ora. This ora may go far from the body, may cross lands and seas, but it is still connected with the body by this insepar- able cord which acts asan agent of com- munication between the two. “A gland is situated atthe base and back part of the brain which is know: the pineal eye,” said the speaker. defy any anatomist to explain any phys: cal function for this gland. Itis the seat of the soul.” Senor de Ovies then exhibited several pieces of different colored cloths, and said be would show that a person carefully blinafulded caa tell the different colors by sense of touch. Three subjects in the au- dience volunteered their services. One was blindfolded so as to preclude any pos- sibility of seeing. A disinterested person then gave the subject one of the pieces of cloth to touch with the fingers. Promptly the subject would tell the color. This demonsiration was several timesrepeated. Last of all the lecturer himself showed the remarkable capabilities of the mental eye. First his eyes were closea and sealea with adhesive plasters. Two napkins were folded over his eyes and bound on with a black handkerchief. An assistant volunteered to wave the cloth before his face, and he told each separate color. Mem- bers of the audience passed handkerchiefs and different colored articles to test the lecturer. This exhibition was explained as the results of ether waves acting on the soul’s eye. But most surprising was the concluding exhibition. Several notes were written on paper and passed to Senor de Ovies, blind- folded as before. By touching the writing his *‘soul’s eye” read the contents, and he readily wrote correct answers to the notes. Bodks were given him. He would place his hand over the printing and tell the title of the book.—Buffalo Courier. e Thomas Jefferson’s Fountain Pen. Aslong as 1824 fountain pens were in use, for in that year Thomas Jefferson saw a contrivance of this sort, tried it, and wrote to General Bernard Peyton of Richmond asking him to get him one of them. The pen was of gold and the ink tube of silver, and, according to Jeffer- son’sletter, the' maker was a Richmond watch repairer named Cowan. Tha price, as he understood, was fivepence. The first American patent for a_fountain pen was granted in 1830 to one Douglass Hyde, but the eariiest English patent was issued twenty-one years before.—New York Times. o e o oo e The first real estate transaction recorded was the purchase of the field of Mach- Kehh by Abraham, in the cave of which e buried Sarah, his wife.

Three handred children, from threc to six years of age, from the three schools always met a hearty welcome. The first time he called Sheridan said: *Oh, yes, I remember you.

ART OF ELECTIONEERING. A Campaigner Writes Up a Few Notes ¥rom Observation. With some men electioneering is a fine art. They can shake hands with the mother and kiss the baby with preat unction and apparent relish. There is Judge —, who will walk through the streets at a rally before he makes his speech and speak to everybody he meo}l. He once imparted to me in alow voice the philosophy of his conduct. “If these men don’t know me,” he said, ‘‘ there is no bharm done; if they do I must not fail to recognize them.’’ Sometimes a man whom he baa been greeting would refer to a previous conversation or s letter, or some other awkward circum- stance which he counld not remember. In every case, however, he parried the stroke so skillfully that the man left without the slightest idea that he bad not been recognized. The Judge’'s face was a per- peiual smile. Sometimes when he saw a man_ approaching he would ask me that man’s name, but from the greeting which followed, the inquiries about the family and the news of the neighborhood, one would imagine that the two had been upon the most intimate terms since boy- Waiting for Their Presents. which are supported by this society were made happy with a Christmas tree and presents of clothing, candy, fruit and other things thatdelight the little toddler. The little ones all wore artistic paper caps, made by their teachers, and presented a pretty sight as they played their games and went through with their characteristic exercises. The schools supported by this society, which is maintained entirely by voluntary contributions, are the Silver Star at Paci- fic and Sansome streets, Miss Wainright principal; the Adler, Second and Folsom streets, Miss Manning, and the Mail Dock, foot of Brannan street, Miss Schuetze. Since the organization of the society, in 1878, the best people of the City have given their time and money to its support. For enterteinments for i's benefit the homes of the members have been thrown oven and the fashionable werld has given freely and liberally. The good work of the society has also been recognized at times by bequests from public-spirited citizens.” The late Robert Johnson left from his estate $5000, and the estate of Isaac Hecht $500. Some of the leading Jewish femilies have been faithful work- ers in this cause, M. H. Hecht and Hon. Adolph Sutro being members of the ad- visory beard, together with Mark Sheidon. The list of the executive committee and board of directors exhibits the non-sec- tarian character of the society. Miss Kate Smith, now known to the literary world as Kate Douglas Wiggin, was the first teacher of the first school, which was founded through the efforts of Profes-or Felix Adler, then on a visit to this coast. ANIMAL KINDERGARTENS, Specialized Education in the Animal Kingdom Begins Rather Late. It will be noticed that all creatures which have large families, whether beasts or birds, bave less trouble in rearing them than those which have only one or two young. Little pigs are weeks ahead of calves in intelligence and the young part- ridge, with 1ts dozen brothers and sisters, is far more teachable than the young eagle. There seems no doubt that the latter is taught to fly by its parents. A correspond- ent informs the writer that he has watched the old birds so engaged, and the young eagles reluctantly following them to a height., Specialized education in animals begins late. The beaver kitten's training does not begin until the autumn of the year in which it was born. The oid beavers, which have moved up tributary streams into the woods, or roamed to the larger lakes during the summer, then return to inspect the'rdam and repair it for the winter. TLey then cut down a few trees and, dividing them into logs, roll them or tow them o the dam. The kittens mean- time are put on to what in a workshop would be called a “soft job.” They cut all the small branches and twigs into lengths and do their share of lieht trans- port service. In the mud-patting and re- pairing of the dam“the beaver kittens take their share, but there is little. doubt that they do so because their elders are so en- gaged. i@ Itis a kindergarten of the best kind, because mud-patting and stick-cutting are a great joy and solace to old beavers as well as young ones, and so instruc.ion, pleasure and business are all combined. Young otters, and probably also young water-rats, have to be taught to gointo the water. According to the observations of Mr. Hart, the late head keeperat the Zoo, the young otters born there did not enter the water for weeks, and even then their mother had to “mind’” them and fetch them out when she thought they had had enough of it. They swim natur- ally when once in the water, and this seems true of all animals, though in the early autumn of this year a young re- triever, bred on a dry and waterless dis- trict in tne Downs, was found to be unable to swim. A stick was thrown into the Thames for it to fetch. It plunged in, but svon sank, and, though rescued, was al- most insensible.—London Spectator. SHERIDAN'S BEST SPEECH. A Newspaper Mau Tells the Circum- stances of When It Was Made. “The last time General Phil Sheridan was in Milwaukee,” said Bob Howard, the newspaper man, *‘was when the Army of the Cumberland held its annual re- union herein 1882. A banquet was given the association at the National Home. General Sheridan presided. In his open- ing speech he was puzzied for words, but after a fashion he managed to stammer out something that but few heard and less understood. I was reporting the event for the Sentinel and had taken down everything Sheridar said just as he spoke it. hen he got through he came around to me and said: “Look here, Mr. Re- porter, do you want to piease me?"’ “*'Deed I do, general.” “‘Then please don’t print that d— slush of mine. ,.'luut make up a nice little speech for me.’ ¢ Howard made up a dainty little speech for the commander of the American army, which greatly pleased him. A few years later, when he was on duty at Washington, Howard’s duties fre- hood. The Judge could carry his State by ?nmer majority than any other man in i Many of the old farmers have great rev- erence for election day. I met one this year, a man 80 years old, who showed me with great enthusiasm a peir of boots which had been newly greased and black- ened for the occasion. He told me these were his ‘“election boots,” which he had worn for twenty-eight years. There were little holes in them at different places to accommodate them to the corns of the wearer. He remarked that four years ago his feet were so0 sore he could not put them on, and that was undoubtedly what oc- casioned the loss of the ticket. This year they were all rignt, and he felt great con- fidence in the resalt. Sometimes these farmers have a very homely but clear way of putting things. ‘our years ago I spoke in a room over the store in a small village in Indiana. The day was inclement, yet the farmers gathered in considerable numbers. One of the hardest-looking men in the audi- ence was a stout old fellow in canvas trousers begrimed with mud, who, in an- swer to an inquiry regarding his health, said that he was “afflictea considerably with the 1neumatiz, but could hardly ex- pect anything better, since he was 80 years old.” to politics, he began to sum up the tariff auestion, which was then pend- ing, as follows: “It seems to me that the Republicans is claimin’ that it is the duty of the Government to take care of the rich, in hopes thatthe rich may then take care of the poor’’—a statement which to a believer in the tariff reform represented by Grover Cleveland seemed to epitomize the Democratic argument as well as anything I ever heard. [ afterward learned that this old fellow had by frugal- ity and good management acquired a farm of some 500 acres in the neighbor- nood, and that he was one of the wealth- iest men In the county. It does notdo to count apon appearances in making an es- timate of the men who attend those meet- ings.— Correspondence City and State, Philadelphia. A STORY OF LONGFELLOW. Mrs. Fields Tells an Interesting Anec- dote of the Author. Speaking ot Longfellow, in her recently published volume of literary reminiscen- ces, Mrs. Jane J. Fields says: “His kindness and love of humor car- ried him through many a tedious inter- ruption. He generally overlooked the fact of the subterfuges to which men and women resorted in order to getan inter. view, and to help them out made as much of their excuses as possible. Speaking one dey of the persons who came to see him at Nahant, he said: ‘One man, a per- fect stranger, came with an omnibus full of ladies. He descended, introduced himself, then, returning to the omnibus, took out all the ladies—one, two, three, four and five— with a little girl, and brought them in. “I entertained them to the best of my ability, and they stayed an hour. They had scarcely gone when a forlorn woman in black came up to me on the piazza and asked for a divper of water. ‘Certainly,’ I repiied, and went to fetch her a glass. hen { brought it she said: ‘There is an- other woman just by the fence who is tired and thirsty; I will carry this to her.’ But sbe struck her head as she passed through the window ana spilled the water on the piazza. ‘Oh, what have I done!’ she said. ‘If I had a floor cloth I would wipe it up.’ ‘Oh, no matter about the water,’ I said, ‘if you have not hurt your- self.” Then I weni and brought more water for both and sentthem on their way refreshed and rejoicing. “It would be both an endless and un- profitable task to recall more of the curi- ous experiences which popularity broughv down upon him. There is a passage among Mr. Field?’ notes, however, in which he describes an incident durin, Longfellow’s last visit to England, whic! should not be overlooked. Upon his arri- val, the Queen sent a graceful message and invited him to Windsor Castle, where she received him with all the honors; but he told me no foreign tribute touched him deeper than the words of an nglish hod- carrier, who came up to the carriage door at Harrow, and asked permission to take the hand of the man who had written the *Voices of the Night.””” ————— The Worm Turned. A facetious lawyer had sunder cross-ex- amination a simple-looking youth, who rejoiced in the name of Sampson, and re- soived to raise a laugh at his expense. “ And s0,” questioned the legal light, “you wish the court to believe that you are a peaceably disposed and inoffensive kind of person?” “Yes." “And you have no desire to follow in the footsteps of your iilustrious name- sake and smite the Philistines?"’ “No, I’ve not,” answered the witness. “And.if 1 had the degire I ain’t got the power, just at present.’’ ““I'hen you think you would be unable to rout a thousand enemies with the jaw- bone of an ass?” “Well,” answered the ruffled Sampson, 2 mifiht have a try at them when you are done, but I'il be teetotally swamped if I'd want to use your jaw.”—Colum!

At 11:30 knots of interested parties had already taken up a good position from which to hear the deciaration they so eagerly awaited, and shortly afterward came a small army of clerks, armea with “wire- books,” the names and addresses of the principal clients of their firms being al- ready filled in, each on a telegraph form, in order to save time when the -all-imfor- tant moment arrived. ’ As the time drew on toward 12 ¢’clock the consols market became densely packed, and it seemed asthough fresh rep- resentatives of the other markets arrived every second. From the Kaflir circus, the ‘Westralian, American, Brewery and rail- way markets came the jobbers, while a corresponding number of brokers and their clerks helped to swell the crowd and increase the stifling heat.

The only people who seemed calmly unconscious that anything of interest was expected were those in the consols market, who, above all others, would feel the effect of any change, and they acted their part very well. Every one is getting tired of waiting, and even the small diversions of throwing pieces of paper ateach otherand such like means of whiling away the time be- gin to pall.

He isa mem- ber of the firm who are brokers to the Government, and has performed this office for a considerable time, succeeding to it in the place of his father. At length he comes! There isno mistaking the final “8h!” and as he mounts the seat there is not a sound to be heard. His first words are barely audible to any but those in the front rank, but he raises his hand to his mouth and shouts for the most important part of his declaration. “* #* ¥ Bank rate is 4 per cent!"” Then he gets down and there is no need for the fellows who occupy the prominent positions to hold up four fingers, because the shout is taken up and carried round and round the house. A mad scramble to the telegraph-office by the clerks, a rush to their respective markets by the jobbers and a vast amount of noise. Then, as the brokers walk round and ask, “How are things with you?’’ they are toid, with half- sheepish shame, ““Oh, hardly any change. Just a sixteenth or so off.”” Verily a small result to compensate for the loss of time and stoopage of business!

An interesting anecdote is related of Marshal Suwaroff, says an exchange, who, when receiving a dispatch from the hands of a Russian sergeant who had greatly distinguish ed himself on the Danube, at- tempted to confuse the messenger bv a series of whimsical questions, but found him fally equal to the occasion. “How many fish are there in the sea?” asked Suwaroff. “All that are not caught yet,” was the answer., “How far is it to the moon?”” “Two of your Excellency's forced marches,” ““Whai would you do if yousaw your men giving away in batile?” “I would tell them that there was plemy of whisky behind the enemy’s line.” Baffled at all points the marshal ended with, “What is the difference between your colonel and myself?” “My colonel cannot make me a lieuten- ant, but your Excellency has only to say the word."” *I say it now,” answered Suwaroff,'‘and a right good officer you will be.”’—New York Mail and Express. —————— HOTEL ARRIVALS.
