Harriman| Spectal Dispatch to The Call NEW YORK, Feb. 4—It has been learmed in Wall street that the deal which | may bring the Union Pacific and the IIii- | nois Central railroads together under one | management has been under way for | some time. The first knowledge of the big transaction was gained from the statement of a prominent financier, who | said that with its profits of more than $109,000,000 growing out of its investment in the Northern Pacific and Great North- ern, the Unlon Pacific Company had pur- chased 62 per cent of the capital stook | of the iols Central. The accumulation latter had been gradual, he said, nding over a period of two years. As | the Union Pacific had needed monev to take over the purchases of Illinois Cen- | tral, it had sold Northern Securities or North Pacific and Great Northern stocks in the open market. The same authority sald that the Union Pacific some time ago took over all Iili- nois Central stock owned by the Rall- road Securities Company, 3 New Jersey | corporation organized by Harriman in- terests for the purpose of owning and g Illinois Central ghares, deal will be, it i said, of the great- Jvantage to both the Unfon Pacific the Iilinols Central. The latter will g the Union Pacific from Omaha to | cago the Southern Pacific from New Orleans to Chicago. It is understood that a formal announcement of the deal will be made at a very early date. The mileage which will be under one | management will amount to 20,280 miles, | CAGO, Feb. 4—The Record-Herald to-day *It has been known in Chicago for sev- eral months that E. H. Harriman was planning to enlarge his holdings of Ili- nois Central so as to gain absolute control | &nd thus to join it with the Union Pa- ciflc system. The belief in New York that the deal had been completed created little surprise and several Illinois Cen- | ls said that while they were | acquainted with the latest detalls of merger they had reason to believe that Harriman had become the dominat- ing factor in the company. “One of the most prominent of these | official who is 2 director and has been associated with the Illinois Central for many years, made the following state- | men or weeks, T may say months, it has | been understood in Wall street that Mr. | Harriman and the interests with wich | he Is allied have been gradually working | to secure control of the Illinois Central. | It is true that he cbtained large blocks of stock and that he organized the Rall- road Securities Company to further his slan 3 P notice 1t is said that the Harriman party has obtained 62 per cent of Illinois Central stock. 1 will not deny this, but would call that & pretty large percentage. They would mnot have to get that much to obtain control.” “The official was asked what the mer- ger would mean to the Illinofs Central and to the Harriman lnes West—the! Union Pacific system, including the and he said: “ "Well, as a starter it would cheapen operation of the several lines. I suppose the operating departments would be jolned and that would reduce the general administrative exp=nses. This, however, is only problematical and is based on the presumption that the Union Pacific has really gained control of our road.’” —_————————— KIDNAPED WOMAN BECOMES A MANIAC teriously Placed in an Asylum. NEW YORK, Feb. 4 —The issuance of a warrant revealed to-day the story of the kidnaping of the daughter of an English noblemen, her arrival here on a yacht, a raving maniac, and her commitment to an insane asylum. The police preserved close secrecy about the case to-day, and refused to reveal any names. According to the story, an English lord, while traveling in France in 1878, met a woman who afterward became the mother of a child. This child, a girl, was taken to England by the no- bleman, who, after a' time. gave her to a friend, a sea captain, for adop- tion. The captain was in charge of a merchantman plying between London and Yokohama. A Countess, a mem- ber of the family, is concerned in the case, but in what way the police will not state. The gir]l was spoken of as one of the heire of her father. and it Is believed this fect caused her to be kidnaped. It is reported that the young woman was taken off a boat, on which she was a pasenger, when only a mile from Yo-l koama, and placed on board a yacht. Six weeks later the yacht 1s sald to have been located in New York harbay, but the young woman passenger wal missing. Investigation by Central of- floe detectives resulted In their locat- ing her, it is said, in an insane asylum in this city. It was stated to-day that when the | a coppery hue. ! llar features of the full moon can he | has long been attributed to the encir- | be seen to border our globe if an ob- | the last memorable occasion, and the Brilliant Colorings Will Precede Darkness. BY ROSE O’HALLORAN. The midnight sky of Thursday next will wear its darkest hue, relleved only by the glitter of starlight de-| | spite the presence, high on the meridian, of the earth's satellite, the mooh. Being | in opposition to the sun, its entire dlski can probably be seen nearing the bright | star Regulus to the east, though bereft | 1 | | of its light-giving power and inadequate to dim even an orb of sixth magnitude. Those who witnessed the total eclipse | of the moon on the 16th of October, 1902, will scarcely fail to view again the beau- | tiful series of changes that will oceur, | especially as San Francisco was deprived | of the rare scene during several decades | previous to the above mentioned date in 1902 by 1ll-ttmed cloudiness. Between 9| and 10 p. m. on February 8, the date of | the coming eclipse, those accustomed to | the aspect of the full moon may notice | that the disk has less of a glare than usval, for at that stage our intervening | globe, like an immense shield( will hin- der more or less of the sun’s disk from | radiating light in a moonward direction. | Having passed through this region of | half shade or pénumbra in about an hour, the . eastern side of our satellite will enter the cone-shaped shadow, but as diffuseness at the limb delays imme- diate recognition of contact, some min- utes will elapse before we realize that a more distinct phase has commenced. Eclipse phenomena cannot be plctured in true relative proportion. The accom- panying dlagram, however, explains that the great terrestrial shadow 857,000 miles | in length projects into space in a direc- | tion exactly opposite .to that of the sun. | The unsymmetrical aspect then assumed | by the illuminated part of the disk will | resemble the bimonthly gibbous phase, | though, of course, from a different cause. | Perhaps the most striking scene will | be the silvery crescent not far from the | meridian near 11 p. m., and the adjoin- | ing eclipsed portion, neither unseen nor somber, but vividly pink in parts or of | Just before 11 p! m. the lingering curve of the crescent having waned, totallty will commence and the aisk deeply tinted, wholly or In part, will afford a rare chance for investigation of lunar heat and earthly air. These switching hours of midnight” may also yield to the plate of an astronomical camera the trail of some long hidden | body gliding round under the sway of | the moon’s attraction—in other words, a | satellite of our satellite. Though beauty of color will have | taken the place of effulgence, the fami- easily discerned as it comes to the-me- ridian during this phase. The pink hue cling zone of atmosphere that would server could view it from a point op- posite to that of the sun. Even the are that we see at twilight is red or yellow tinted from the rays that cen chiefly penetrate the extent of air pre- sented crosswise. Appearances agree well with the laws of refraction, while the faintness of color or invisibility of the disk during total eclipse, noted on ' a few occasions, may be accounted for by differing degrees of cloudiness in that shallow but ever present twilight zone. Still this explanation leaves un- ' settled a few facts, such as the central shadow at the beginning of totality on Jack of uniform coloring so frequently noted. More than three years ago a well- known physlcist suggested a solution besed on the chemical action of sun- light, which it Is found can endow some substances with power to emit light when théy are placed In darkness, and he dwells on the intensity on the lunar disk of prolonged sunshine. If this be even partly the cause of visibility dur- ing eclipse, the west silde, which has been two weeks under illumination, ghould be more distinct than the east- ern limb where the atoms have heen exposed to solar vibrations for only a few days or hours before totality. This can be easily ascertained on Thursday night should we be favored with clear weather. The theorist also adverts to the radiative properties of several sub- stances, even without previous expos- ure to sunlight, and on the whole there seems a possibility that the midnight picture may be an innate lugar produc- tlon artistically finished by terrestrial agency. . —_————— Stenl Stock From Grocery. Policemen Kracke and Gleeson heard the crash of Elass about 1 o’clock yes- terday morning and saw three men running through Washington-square Park. They gave chase and found one of the trio, Santo Landovich, sitting on a bench. In front of him was an empty case of eggs and near him were three coats, a roll of cheese. two hoxes of cakes, a box of pepper, a loaf of bread and some sausage. The policemen found that the articles had been stolen from the grocery of Antome Tietich, 51§ Montgomery avenue. Landovich was locked up, and a search is belng made for his two companions. yacht came into port with the kidnaped woman the authorities found that she was virtually a prisoner in the cabin.

RED BLUFF, Feb. 4—One of the largest meetings ever held in Red Bluff took place this afternoon in the opera-house, when all the Protestant churches of this place joined in a union temperance meeting. The large opera-house was crowded, and after the services a temperance organiza- tion was formed. Tuere has been a great amount of tem- perance agitation in this county during | the last year. To-day's meeting was largely the outgrowth of the campaign against the saloons brought to an issue by the temperance people. At the meet- | to-morrow nlght the representatives of the temperance element in the community | will appear and ask that the city fathers | take some action to restrict the saloon | btusiness in this municipality. The pres- ent board, however, s opposed to taking | any radical action, and it is presumed tha. the petition of the temperance people will not be granted. PERSONAL. Colonel Z. 8.

Hunter of New York, president of the National Gardeners’ Association, composed of landscape and decorative gardeners of the country, is touring Cali- fornia with the object of finding a loca- tion for a national gardeners’ home, which it is intended to establish in this State. He is at present the guest of his half- brother, Dr. G. H. Greenwell, 204 Thir- teenth street, this city. Mr. Hunter is the principal spirit in the schems to es- tablish the home, which, it may readily be inferred, will have very beautiful sur- roundings. Sites both in the southern and upper parts of the State will be ex- amined. Mr. Hunter was shown the beauties of Golden Gate Park by Superintendent Mc- Laren yesterday, and he pronounced it from an expert’s point of view one of the most bea‘uutul parks in the world and the most fbeautiful in America, there be- ing no park in this country that equals it, he says. Speaking of the great pleasure resort Mr. Hunter said: The grouping le such that only the born artist can appreciate it. The eucdlyptus Is a wonderful tree for park shading, it forms such a great mass of tone and color and grows so fast. The broad vistas of lawn, the towerlng maus of follage at the main entrance with the big roads at right and left, the clusters of exoties and natives that We people of the Fast | know nothing about, the terraces and artificial waterfalls, the lakes with hundreds of fowls, the sudden view of the Pacific from the drive- ways, all make up a scene that lingers in the mind of the stranger who beholds it. The Perk Commission and the superintendent cer- tainly deserve the thanks of the people of San Francisco and the State The varlety of plants. trees, flowers, shrubs and other vegetation is remarkable and the artistic methods employed excite admiration. The bgmboo mazes that are being grown will be very beautiful. The public play and ath- fettc grounds that are being constructed wiil be ons of the world's great park features. Mr. Hunter will devote considerable space In the columns of a gardeners’ mag- azine in New York, of which publication he is the owner, to the beauties of the San Francisco park. AVUSEMENTS.

AD T Mrs. Chester Curnr A nervous, irritable mother, often on the verge of hysterics, is unfit to care for children ; it ruins a child’s disposi- tion and reacts upom herself. The trouble between children, and their mothers too often is due to the fact that the mother has some female weak- ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear the strain upon her nerves that govern- ing children involves; it is impossible for her to do anything calmly, The ills of women act like a firebrand upon the nerves, consequently nine- tenths of the nervous prostration, ner- vous despondency, ‘* the blues,” sleep- lessness. and nervous irritability of women arise from some derangement of the female organism. Do you experience fits of depression with restlessness, alternating with extreme. irritability? Are your spirits easily affected, so that one minute you laugh, and the next minute you feel like erying ? Do you feel something like a ball ris- ing in your throat and threatening to choke you; all the senses perverted, morbidly sensitive to light and sound ; pain in the abdominal region, and between the shoulders; be: g-down pains; nervous dyspepsia and almost continually cross and snappy ? 1f so. your nerves are in a shattered condition, and you are threatened with nervous prostration. Proof is monumental that nothing in the world is better fcr nervous prostra- tion than Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege- table Compound ; thousands and thou- sands of women can testify to this fact.
