I A FUOK KULE. It Has Proved That It Only Works One Way. The San Francisco School Department is waking up to the fact that this city Is being heavily taxed for the »llppo:t of a certain grade of schools that does not exist here, and in return for which it receives abso- lutely no benefit. The Legislature last in session passed a bill levying n tux for a "Grammar School Course Fund," designed to maintain a high school course in all country grammar schools, so that pupils may be fitted for the University without golnz elsewhere to ttike a high school course. Such a course does not exist in this city, and yet a large sum goes into the fund from here. The main objection i* that while it is not nearly all used for the purposes In- tended, it has to be paid notwithstanding, and meanwhile, all manner of economy lias to be practiced in ban Francisco for lack of money. •\u25a0 X. \u25a0!\u25a0.-; B:ll" Uutg<Miernle<l.

CONDITION OF TRADE. Sharp Increase in Local Bank Clearings Last Week. Hops Weaker— Wool Advancing— 4 Break in Silver— Wceat Sail— Good Trade in Groceries and Canned Fruit. Last week was satisfactory from most points of view. The local bank clearings ex- ceeded those of the same week in 1889 by over $5,000,000, being 520,C75,544, against SIS,GGG,U94. The wholesale grocers did a good business and the canners of fruit were kept busy as usual. The markets, however, exhibited few paiticular features. Silver has broken from about 51 10 to Si 13 per ounce, the reason given ing that more silver is offering than the Government is obliged by law to buy. Money is linn and in fair demand. Exchange on New York has risen slightly during the week. THE DRAIN MAIiKKT. Wheat has been dull an i declining for several we k?, but at tlie dose a recovery In the foreign markets is noted. This market, however, lias Dot yet responded. . Barley is quiet at a decline from last week's quotations. Oats, too, have fill D off somewhat, but are not particularly weak. Corn is quieter and rather weaker, the Australlanfdemaua being satisfied. Rye is dull. Flour is weaker and quiet, and cutting among '.h< millers is reported. B:a'i and middlings have declined during the week. Grain bags are dull and nominal at the decline. GENERAL COUNTRY PRODUCE. Hops continue quiet Dealers now ascribe the depiession to the recent stringency of money In Mew York which prevented tlie merchants from taking all the hops offered them. It is believed by the local tiade that the lull i- temporary. Two or three days ago a sudden demand for wool sprang up, aid since tl.en Mime 500,000 pounds have been gold. Prices am higher ami dealers look for a still further ad- vance with a brisk inquiry. Beans continue unsettled.

An enterprising commission mer- chant has recently telegraphed to Eastern distributing points for crop prosDects, with the following result: Chicago Late rains have greatly benefit! the en and no dam- age from frost. New York— Five days' rain, with Quods in t!ieiuo-t important bean States .ii. if aster probable. Montreal Crop pros- pects fair, no damage by storms or frost, but bad weather lor harvesting.

Common giades of hay an! dulland weak, nhile choice hay continues n'im. Allkinds of dried Iruit are more or less quiet, and prices nave wale no material change for a lorttii^lit. Wine crapes ore now coining into this market freely. CJocd sweet grapes are firm and wanted at 518 and $19 per ton, but most n f the iceei, ts areonly about two-thirds ripe. This infer or stock is hurd'to sell at Jl4toilß per ton, being sour, and tend-) to depress good grapes. Growers should wait until their grapes rii en b fore shipping; The demand iii the Sonoma and Napa Valleys is gocd, £17 being now bid for desirable grapes, but glowers are not disposed to meet buyers at this figure*.

The auan- liiy for the current year to date is the largest ever reported. Pi tutors continue weak, and the ordinary kinds range from 60c 10 SI per cental. Uutter is not very active, and is weak as a rule, ihutigb strictly nuiev brands command good prices. Cheese Is quiet and easy. Eggs are lower than last week, and dealers are n. ore or less anxious to sell. Ihe meal market remains .unchanged, Beet and pork are plentiful. Lamb and mutton are firm and rattier scarce.

Canned salniou is in very good demand, and Alackan li-li have advanced slightly. GEKEJiAIi JIKIICIIANDISE. There is very little to say of merchandise this week. Metals of ail kinds are dull, particularly tin plate, which will probably lie holly minimal until its late is decided by the Tariff Hill. Tobacco is reported active, as dealers, ex- pecting ail advance in prices, are stocking up freely. Cigars an- doing fairly. The situation in coal is tutu t>iven by a local dealer: Never In the history of the coal trad' lias there been such a scarcity of {Australian trades, Hie Jobbers have nominally none, ana contracts call- ing for tlie delivety ot Newcastle are being re- i lacid liv some of our coast coal*, contrary lo the wi-lies of the consumers.

No Evidence to Mold Him. United States Commissioner Sawyer yes- t -relay heard testimony in the case of C. J. Woodbury, President of the Woodbury Oil Company, charged by J. I. Smith, for- merly one of his clerks, with hiving ope ned mull addressed to him. i During the bearing it : transpired . that ' there hud bean some trouble between Woodbury, Smith and a man named D.ividBlank, Smith's principal witness. smith stated that a letter left lor him at the office by a mail-carrier presented the appearance of havini!been openeil, and, as Wood bury was the first person to enter the office lie inferred that he had opened it. Both Smith and Uhink were partners to a certain extent with Woodbury in the busi- ness and Blank desired to sell to Woodbury his stock. When the latter refused lilauK threatened to expose him for "opening come letters." The Commissioner believed there was no evidence to hold the accused aud dis- missed the case. THE NEW LENS. The Wonders of the Heavens Re- vealed Through the Telescope. \u25a0When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy Sneers, the moon and the »tars which thou last ordained, what Is man, that tbou art niludful ol him ? Man knows no*- the possibilities of the telescope; but by his close observations anil attentive research, investigations nnd ualutal aptitude for invention, lie avails himself of the power which is daily pro- ducing marvelous results. The Grecian philosopher and astronomer Tliiles who was born between six and seven hundred years before the Christian era, and wlio was the leader among the sewn sre.it philo- sophers til thai time, little knew how his awkward and primitive modes of study and investigation would be succeeded by dis- coveries and instrument* discovery, which might startlo the world, had these Important results been more rapid. So many wonderful results have originated from the careful.' observation and study of small things, that even ill this advance! and truly wonderful age, we should never puss over Inattentively the most trifling thin;! that tends to the higher and grandest eleva- tion <>t science. Franklin with the aid of a boy's toy drew Irnm the clouds that strange element wliich lias since become one of man's most obed .wit slaves. The discoveries of Newton and Uuyj.'hcns and the theories advanced by them in the discovery of the luminous parti- cles which produce light, tlie blacken- ing of sliver by the sun's rays which led to tho discovery of the chemical agency of light, the mysterious productions of all n:i- ture through the agency of heavenly bodies ami Influences, might well create Id us the desire and determination to come in closer contact with those marvelous wonders of space, and thereby aid In the continual de- velopment of a knowledge that has done so much toward and which will eventually bring us iutocommunion with that wisdom and power which is the source of all truth and happiness. In this critical age man is notsiiutied with questionable science; he demands and receives demonstrative science, mid by the*e demonstrations he is slowly yet surely aiding in the destruction of those evils winch are the result of ignorance ami superstition. The abuses of name result from the iaek of knowledge, not ft um the possession ol it, and as man becomes wiser from th»- possession of the knowledge to be j derived from the influences of all heavenly bodies upon earthly forms ami substances, so will he become a better man in all the re- lations of life. By t!ie aid i>£ that wonderful structure, the telescope of the human b »ly -the eye— we are enabled to discover and read the character of that most wonderful of all creation man. Wo are enabled through it-* agency to penetrate, to describe and ex- pose, that mysterious quality th.it cannot bo Been or touched, but which nevertheless ex- ists. It is so line, intangible, impalpable, a rv, that it occupies no space, ami yet tills the whole world. God in his great wisdom furnished us with an ever-ready Instrument by which we could detect these qualities m our race, which makes man niton the great enemy of man, and leaves it for us to dis- ci v.-r and furnish, after thousands of years of patient, anxious study and disappoint- ments, '.he simple Instrument which was to assist his creation— the eye— in discovering tho agencies which endow us with all the blessings and benefits of this life. And slowly, and through suitable mediums, as he linus us able to cotupri'h-ud th« wonders of his throne, will be reveal greater won- ders to us. The formation of massive tem- ples and the establishing of truth is always the Work of ages. We should rej ice that there are .-till vast fields of discovery yet to be explored, and that those inspiring ele- ments in nature, the sun, mo id, stars and the planets, possess still grander mysteries Which we shall yet behold. Astrology, or magic as it was called in the middle' ases. became the parent of modern astronomy. it was used by the wise moil or llililiWlllwn of that luuu to foretell liitute events by the positions and aspects of the st.irs, and we all know that the knowledge of its great power was used against the ignorant masses with disastrous results. To-day, its use is for the purpose of distributing only the noblest thoughts, and creating ttie grandest results. In the v packing of the glass to be used in the construction of the great telescope for the University of Southern California, at Cambridge, Massachusetts, one can realize with what tender feelina this magnificent lens was uncovered. Those who were present "fondled it as though raising a child from its cradle." And well they might Until placed in its position, and furnished with all tho requisites necessary to produce the grand results prophesied lor it,it must pass through as many trying and critical tests, as the child does betore reaching man- hood. And then the result! How anxious we shall all be for its success. Space will not permit of mentioning 01 describing tho many kinds of telescopes which from time to time have been presented to the Scientific world to assist students and lovers of as- tronomy to pursue their Investigations and studies. All such are familiar with the nro- gress and results, and they are among the many thousands who will watch with in- terest the workings of this lens, which promises for them so much. It is claimed that this gl.iss will make the moon, whose orbit i5240,U00 miles from the earth, and which is the nearest of tie heavenly bodies to the earth, " look as ifit were only 100 miles «way ; and if there are any cities or large buildings on its surface their presence will he revealed." "And it willalso settle, the question as to the at- tempt of the inhabitants of tint planet Mars to communicate to the people of the earth by the use of signals." Outside of our own orbit Mars is our nearest neighbor. When on tun samp side of the sun as the earth it is 34,000,000 of miles from 08, but when it swings to the opposite tide of its mint is abnit -ti1.000,000 of miles run us. That is why it is so much brighter and apparently larger at one time than another, it completes its revolution in (i»7 of our days, or nearly two ol our years. Astronomers have made accurate and In- teresting maps of Mars as seen through the telescope, showing its oceans, rivers, moun- tains and plains. And shall we see its in- habitants? And, seeing them, how shall we salute them? a. J. HXXCHKIVL. Alameda, tifpt. SI, 1890. CLARKE'S JUEFKAT. Bis Complaint Against McKennn Suc- cessfully lii'imirri'd To.

The Difficulties Arising on tin Atlantic Sys- tem Hast Be Taken £ lewhere for Adjustment. The Engineers' Grievance Committee yes- terday held another conference with A. N. Towne, also a secret session nt its hall on Bush street. Nothing definite can be learned as to the outcome. Whether they will take their grievance to the managers of the At- lantic system for settlement, or still persist in having the matter adjusted at Fourth and Townsend streets is at present a conun- drum. That they will eventually be com- pell' d to adopt the former there can ba no doubt, as the ofll'ials of this system are strum: in opinion that they have no author- ity to treddle with difficulties which may arise on a system over which they have no control, especially such matters as the mxc. under discussion at present. Speaking of the situation yesterday Assistant General Superintendent Pratt said: REVIEWING THE SITUATION. "As far as our system is concerned every- thing lias beeu adjusted la a manner alike satisfactory t" engineers and officials. The difficulties which remain unadjusted belong exclusively to the Atlantic system. Wo have ashed the men to look to the.management of that system for a settlement, but they per- sist in having the matter arranged at this office, which is entirely out of the question, for the simple re ison that we do not even re- ceive reports from that system and know nothing of the troubles of the men employed there. When itis necessary for an investi- gation of Atlantic affairs to be nutdu at this office, we must go to the trouble of sending for the officers of that branch, and use in the Investigation their testimony concerning the subject in question. It makes us a great deal of trouble, and only in cases of treat import an: matters of any kind referred to this office for adjustment. LEFT OUT IN the COLD. A committee representing the freight trainmen of the .Santa Cruz Division (nar- row gauge) called yesterday at Fourth and Townsend streets, by invitation of Mr. Fill- more, to talk over the subject of wages. It seems that in the work of the late Train- men's Grievance Committee, which accom- plished so much for men on other divisions of the system, this division was not repre- sented, and consequently derived no benefit from the general advance in wages. The employes here ask for the same proportion- ate advance as granted the others, and this they were promised at the conference yes- terday. PAItK PROPERTY. Reports that<«the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe is buying lots in the vicinity of Golden Gate Park are current The an- nouncements, which come from a very unre- liable source, are undoubtedly intended to boom property in ibis locality. Exactly where this great system will have a termi- nus in the city is not known, and shrewd guessers in railway matters are divided as to the direction whence the road will come. Concerning the operations of this system in the south the Antelope Times of recent issue says: The town referred to in this article Is Rosa- mond, a nation on the Southern Pacific, thirteen miles below Mojmeand 330 mites sou ill of Ills illy. The final locating survey has been made by Hie corps ol engineers under <ieori:e C.

For twenty years Elizabeth had been the lawful wife of the deceased, but eventually v.as divorced from him, whereupon he mar- ried the co-defendant, Kite 11., and lived with her until his death .'even months later. Itwas attempted t>*prove on behalf of the Bret that spouse No. 2, besides alienating his affections from the first wife, had been nothing more than a mistress to him.

Sl-'J4 It 1 MISCEI^AKEODS^ Good N%ws! No one, who is willing to adopt the right course, need be long afflicted with boils, car- buncles, pimples, or other cutaneous erup- tions. These are the results of Nature's ef- forts to expel poisonous and effete matter from the blood, and show plainly that the system is ridding itself through the skin of . Impurities which it was the legitimate work of the liver and kidneys to remove. To re- store these organs to their proper functions, Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the medicine required. That no other blood-purifier can compare with it, thousand? testify who have gained Freedom- from the tyranny of depraved blood by the use of this medicine. . "For nine years I was afflicted witha skin disease that did not yield to any remedy until a friend advised me to try Ayer's Sarsa- parilla. With the use of this medicine the complaint disappeared. It is my belief that no other blood medicine could have effected so rapid and complete a cure."— Andres I). Garcia, C. Victoria. Tamauiipas, Mexico. - "Myface, for years, was covered with pim- ples and humors, for which I could find no remedy till I began to take Ayer's Sarsapa- rilla. Three bottles of this great blood medi- cine effected a thorough cure. I confidently recommend it to all suffering from similar . troubles."— M. I'arker, Concord, Vt. .

A FUOK KULE.

ItHas Proved That It Only Works OneWay.

The San Francisco School Department iswaking up to the fact that this city Is beingheavily taxed for the »llppo:t of a certaingrade of schools that does not exist here,and in return for which it receives abso-lutely no benefit. The Legislature last insession passed a bill levying n tux for a"Grammar School Course Fund," designedto maintain a high school course in allcountry grammar schools, so that pupilsmay be fitted for the University withoutgolnz elsewhere to ttike a high school course.Such a course does not exist in this city, andyet a large sum goes into the fund fromhere. The main objection i* that while it isnot nearly all used for the purposes In-tended, it has to be paid notwithstanding,and meanwhile, all manner of economy liasto be practiced in ban Francisco for lack ofmoney.

CONDITION OF TRADE.

Sharp Increase in Local Bank

Clearings Last Week.

Hops Weaker— Wool Advancing— 4 Break in

Silver—Wceat Sail— Good Trade in

Groceries and Canned Fruit.

Last week was satisfactory from mostpoints of view. The local bank clearings ex-ceeded those of the same week in 1889 byover $5,000,000, being 520,C75,544, againstSIS,GGG,U94. The wholesale grocers did agood business and the canners of fruit werekept busy as usual. The markets, however,exhibited few paiticular features.

Silver has broken from about 51 10 to Si 13per ounce, the reason given ing that moresilver is offering than the Government isobliged by law to buy. Money is linn andin fair demand. Exchange on New Yorkhas risen slightly during the week.

THE DRAIN MAIiKKT.Wheat has been dull an i declining for

several we k?, but at tlie dose a recovery Inthe foreignmarkets is noted. This market,however, lias Dotyet responded. .

Barley is quiet at a decline from lastweek's quotations.

Oats, too, have fill D off somewhat, butare not particularly weak.

Corn is quieter and rather weaker, theAustrallanfdemaua being satisfied.

Rye is dull.Flour is weaker and quiet, and cutting

among '.h< millers is reported.B:a'i and middlings have declined during

the week.Grain bags are dull and nominal at the

decline.GENERAL COUNTRY PRODUCE.

Hops continue quiet Dealers now ascribethe depiession to the recent stringency ofmoney In Mew York which prevented tliemerchants from taking all the hops offeredthem. Itis believed by the local tiade thatthe lull i- temporary.

Two or three days ago a sudden demandfor wool sprang up, aid since tl.en Mime500,000 pounds have been gold. Prices amhigher ami dealers look for a still further ad-vance witha brisk inquiry.

Beans continue unsettled. Colored areweak and quiet, while white a'u firm andwanted, with do spot stocks worth talkingabout. An enterprising commission mer-chant has recently telegraphed to Easterndistributing points for crop prosDects, withthe following result: Chicago —

Late rainshave greatly benefit! the en and no dam-age from frost. New York—Five days' rain,with Quods in t!ieiuo-t important bean States.ii. ifaster probable. Montreal

—Crop pros-

pects fair,nodamage by storms or frost, butbad weather lor harvesting. Milwaukee—Not much dam igf. liobtou— Crop injuredby incessant and still continuing rains, witha short and late crop inevitable and higher

ices probable.Common giades of hay an! dulland weak,

nhile choice hay continues n'im.Allkinds of dried Iruit are more or less

quiet, and prices nave wale no materialchange for a lorttii^lit.

Wine crapes ore now coining into thismarket freely. CJocd sweet grapes are firmand wanted at 518 and $19 per ton, but mostnf the iceei, ts areonly about two-thirds ripe.This infer orstock is hurd'to sell at Jl4toilßper ton, being sour, and tend-) to depress goodgrapes. Growers should wait until theirgrapes riien b fore shipping; The demandiii the Sonoma and Napa Valleys is gocd,£17 being now bid for desirable grapes, butglowers are not disposed to meet buyers atthis figure*.

Pi tutors continue weak, and the ordinarykinds range from 60c 10 SIper cental.

Uutter is not veryactive, and is weak as arule, ihutigb strictly nuiev brands commandgood prices. Cheese Is quiet and easy. Eggsare lower than last week, and dealers aren.ore or less anxious to sell.

GBo< 1 RIKS AM> PROVISIONS.There is not macu to be said i f Kroceries

Canned vegetables rule firm.Canned salniou is in very good demand,

There is very little to say of merchandisethis week. Metals of ail kinds are dull,particularly tin plate, which willprobablylie holly minimal untilitslate is decided bythe Tariff Hill.

Tobacco is reported active, as dealers, ex-pecting ail advance in prices, are stockingup freely. Cigars an- doing fairly.

The situation in coal is tutu t>iven by alocal dealer:

The exports of incrchaudise from NewYork during the first ei^i.t months of thoyear amounted to (223,209,000 against Im-ports of syoi,(XM,f*i(j. During the correspond-ing period in is*'.! the exports were $225,085,--000, and the Imports $335,488,000. From thisit would appear that the balance oi ttaile ismore against the portof New York this yearthan last.

t -relay heard testimony in the case of C. J.Woodbury, President of the Woodbury OilCompany, charged by J. I. Smith, for-merly one of his clerks, withhiving ope nedmull addressed to him.iDuring the bearing

it:transpired. that 'there hud bean sometrouble between Woodbury, Smith and aman named D.ividBlank, Smith's principalwitness. smith stated that a letter left lorhim at the office by a mail-carrier presentedthe appearance of havini!been openeil, and,as Woodbury was the first person to enterthe office lie inferred that he had opened it.Both Smith and Uhink were partners to acertain extent with Woodbury in the busi-ness and Blank desired to sell to Woodburyhis stock. When the latter refused lilauKthreatened to expose him for "opening comeletters." The Commissioner believed therewas no evidence to hold the accused aud dis-missed the case.

THE NEW LENS.The Wonders of the Heavens Re-

vealed Through the Telescope.

\u25a0When Iconsider thy heavens, the work of thySneers, the moon and the »tars which thou lastordained, what Is man, that tbou art niludful ol

him ?

Man knows no*- the possibilities of thetelescope; but by his close observations anilattentive research, investigations nndualutal aptitude for invention, lie availshimself of the power which is daily pro-ducing marvelous results. The Grecianphilosopher and astronomer Tliiles whowas born between six and seven hundredyears before the Christian era, and wliowas the leader among the sewn sre.it philo-sophers til thai time, little knew how hisawkward and primitive modes of study andinvestigation would be succeeded by dis-coveries and instrument* o£ discovery,which might startlo the world, had theseImportant results been more rapid. Somany wonderful results have originatedfrom the careful.' observation and study ofsmall things, that even ill this advance! andtruly wonderfulage, we should never pussover Inattentively the most trifling thin;!that tends to the higher and grandest eleva-tion <>t science.

Franklin with the aid of a boy's toy drewIrnm the clouds that strange element wliichlias since become one of man's most obed .witslaves. The discoveries of Newton andUuyj.'hcns and the theories advanced bythem in the discovery of the luminous parti-cles which produce light, tlie blacken-ing of sliver by the sun's rays which led totho discovery of the chemical agency oflight, the mysterious productions of all n:i-

ture through the agency of heavenly bodiesami Influences, might well create Id us thedesire and determination to come in closercontact with those marvelous wonders ofspace, and thereby aid In the continual de-velopment of a knowledge that has done somuch toward and which will eventuallybring us iutocommunion with that wisdomand power which is the source of all truthand happiness. In this critical age man isnotsiiutied with questionable science; hedemands and receives demonstrative science,

mid by the*e demonstrations he is slowlyyet surely aiding in the destruction of thoseevils winch are the result of ignorance amisuperstition. The abuses of name resultfrom the iaek of knowledge, not ftum thepossession ol it, and as man becomes wiserfrom th»- possession of the knowledge to be j

derived from the influences of all heavenlybodies upon earthly forms ami substances,so willhe become a better man in all the re-lations of life.

By t!ie aid i>£ that wonderful structure,the telescope of the human b »ly -the eye—we are enabled to discover and read thecharacter of that most wonderful of allcreation

—man. Wo are enabled through

it-* agency to penetrate, to describe and ex-pose, that mysterious quality th.it cannot boBeen or touched, but which nevertheless ex-ists. Itis so line, intangible, impalpable,a rv, that itoccupies no space, ami yet tillsthe whole world. God in his great wisdomfurnished us with an ever-ready Instrumentby which we could detect these qualities mour race, which makes man niton the greatenemy of man, and leaves it for us to dis-ci v.-r and furnish, after thousands of yearsof patient, anxious study and disappoint-ments, '.he simple Instrument which was toassist his creation— the eye—in discoveringtho agencies which endow us withall theblessings and benefits of this life. Andslowly, and through suitable mediums, ashe linus us able to cotupri'h-ud th« wondersof his throne, will be reveal greater won-ders to us. The formation of massive tem-ples and the establishing of truth is alwaysthe Work of ages. We should rej ice thatthere are .-till vast fields of discovery yet tobe explored, and that those inspiring ele-ments in nature, the sun, moid, stars andthe planets, possess still grander mysteriesWhich we shall yet behold.

Astrology, or magic as it was called in themiddle' ases. became the parent of modernastronomy. it was used by the wise moil

or llililiWlllwn of that luuu to foretellliitute events by the positions and aspectsof the st.irs, and we all know that theknowledge of its great power was usedagainst the ignorant masses with disastrousresults. To-day, its use is for the purposeof distributing only the noblest thoughts,and creating ttie grandest results.

In the v packing of the glass to be usedin the construction of the great telescopefor the University of Southern California,at Cambridge, Massachusetts, one can realizewith what tender feelina this magnificentlens was uncovered. Those who werepresent "fondled it as though raising achildfrom its cradle." And well they mightUntil placed in its position, and furnishedwith all tho requisites necessary to producethe grand results prophesied lor it,itmustpass through as many trying and criticaltests, as the child does betore reaching man-hood. And then the result! How anxiouswe shall all be for its success. Space willnot permit of mentioning 01 describing thomany kinds of telescopes which from timeto time have been presented to the Scientificworld to assist students and lovers of as-tronomy to pursue their Investigations andstudies. Allsuch are familiar with the nro-gress and results, and they are among themany thousands who will watch with in-terest the workings of this lens, whichpromises for them so much.Itis claimed that this gl.iss willmake the

moon, whose orbit i5240,U00 miles from theearth, and which is the nearest of tieheavenly bodies to the earth, "

look as ifitwere only 100 miles «way ;and ifthere areany cities or large buildings on its surfacetheir presence willhe revealed." "Anditwillalso settle, the question as to the at-tempt of the inhabitants of tint planet Marsto communicate to the people of the earthby the use of signals."

Outside of our own orbit Mars is ournearest neighbor. When on tun samp sideof the sun as the earth it is 34,000,000 ofmiles from 08, but when it swings to theopposite tide of its mint is abnit -ti1.000,000of miles run us. That is why it is so muchbrighter and apparently larger at one timethan another, it completes its revolution in(i»7 of our days, or nearly two ol our years.

Astronomers have made accurate and In-teresting maps of Mars as seen through thetelescope, showing its oceans, rivers, moun-tains and plains. And shall we see itsin-habitants? And, seeing them, how shall wesalute them? a. J. HXXCHKIVL.

ALONG THE BAIL.

Quandary of the Engineers' Griev-ance Committee.

The Difficulties Arising on tin Atlantic Sys-

tem Hast Be Taken £ lewhere for

Adjustment.

The Engineers' Grievance Committee yes-terday held another conference with A. N.Towne, also a secret session nt its hall onBush street. Nothing definite can be learnedas to the outcome. Whether they will taketheir grievance to the managers of the At-lantic system for settlement, or still persistin having the matter adjusted at Fourth andTownsend streets is at present a conun-drum. That they will eventually be com-pell' d to adopt the former there can ba nodoubt, as the ofll'ials of this system arestrum: inopinion that they have no author-ity to treddle with difficulties which mayarise on a system over which they have nocontrol, especially such matters as the mxc.under discussion at present. Speaking ofthe situation yesterday Assistant GeneralSuperintendent Pratt said:

REVIEWING THE SITUATION."As far as our system is concerned every-

thing lias beeu adjusted la a manner alikesatisfactory t" engineers and officials. Thedifficulties which remain unadjusted belongexclusively to the Atlantic system. Wo haveashed the men to look to the.management ofthat system fora settlement, but they per-sist in having the matter arranged at thisoffice, which is entirely out of the question,for the simple reison that we do not even re-ceive reports from that system and knownothing of the troubles of the men employedthere. When itis necessary for an investi-gation of Atlantic affairs to be nutdu at thisoffice, we must go to the trouble of sendingfor the officers of that branch, and use inthe Investigation their testimony concerningthe subject in question. Itmakes us a greatdeal of trouble, and only in cases of treatimport an: matters of any kind referred tothis office for adjustment.

LEFT OUT INthe COLD.A committee representing the freight

trainmen of the .Santa Cruz Division (nar-row gauge) called yesterday at Fourth andTownsend streets, by invitation of Mr.Fill-more, to talk over the subject of wages. Itseems that in the work of the late Train-men's Grievance Committee, which accom-plished so much for men on other divisionsof the system, this division was not repre-sented, and consequently derived no benefitfrom the general advance in wages. Theemployes here ask for the same proportion-ate advance as granted the others, and thisthey were promised at the conference yes-terday.

PAItK PROPERTY.Reports that<«the Atchison, Topeka and

Santa Fe is buying lots in the vicinityofGolden Gate Park are current The an-nouncements, which come from a very unre-liable source, are undoubtedly intended toboom property in ibis locality. Exactlywhere this great system will have a termi-nus in the city is not known, and shrewdguessers in railway matters are divided asto the direction whence the road willcome.Concerning the operations of this system inthe south the Antelope Times of recentissue says:

The town referred to in this article Is Rosa-mond, a nation on the Southern Pacific, thirteenmiles below Mojmeand 330 mites sou illof Illsilly. The final locating survey has been madeby Hie corps ol engineers under <ieori:e C.Cleve-land, from Rogers to a point between Cotton-wood Uieek anil Fish Creek, some thirty mileswest of this place. • • • mo final survey liasbeen mat*!i.iilyclisumeil from the preliminarysurvey made by iliecorps under Enntueer Beer-man. Instead of dossing the Southern PacificHack a lew Hundred feel north of the. depot attins place, which Is on the io:i;-\u25a0 -1 quarter of

Section 21, Township 0 uoith, Banin 11! west,

it crosses about 1800 feet north of the south Hueof Section 10, lyingjust north of llo^amoud.

PROMISE OF A NEW TOWN.The crossing of the Southern I'acitie road Is to

I'• made at ilull' angles with tile Southern Pacifictrack, and Instead ot going over Itwith the ex-pensive derailing stations, they go muter it will)\u25a0 double-track cut, which can be accomplishedvery easily and with perfect security for alltimes for both road*. Here there willof neces-sity be quite a town spilug un, nnd-belnt; a junc-tion of two meat transcontinental roads liwillattract the products of Itlie valley fora great dis-tance. Already the prices of Iown lots and len-acre pieces in the vicinityof Sclirader's vineyardand the juuciluuhave advanced 2UU or :>(Xi patcent.»\u25a0\u25a0 After closing tie Southern Pacific load here,the ufrmaneut Hue lias been moved uoilli aooufeet from the first two lines lun~uy"ilielTeerniaiicorps, and inns nearly due west fiom the cross-Ingro and stratum across the L'randall, Stium-wav and Kodueis land to the laud of CharlesWielli, Immediately south of Willow UprhiK;thence almost sliaiuht west to the WasbbDitiplace, and across tlie delta ot Cotton wood Cie- k,bearing a little south until around the spurruunlns out in Township 8,15 West, and thenceneuly west until they reach I'iali Canyou andCastac Lake.

Hy this location a gradual ascent Is madefrom the time they leave the footof the hill, atthe head of Dry Lake (.two miles east of liosa-inoiid)until they arrive at the summit of theTrjon i'a«s. l'ln*rl.iiKiueei Rockwell, who visitsthe live different corps at woiK now between thisplace and Iliki'iMield,as often as every twoweeks, has cautioned his men to spare neitherlime nor money to (ret a crude and easycovers that would Insure a rapid and easy transitfor loth freight and passenger tram*.

MULLIxVS DKAillBENEFIT. ,The Money I- Aw -rdfil by Judje llojjo

to the Second Spuuftr.In the suit instituted by the Masonic

Mutual Aid Association against ElizabethJ. and Kate 11. Mullin for the purpose ofhaving the court decide which is entitled toreceive $5000 due on the death of Aaron J.Muliin, Judge Boge yesterday found torthe last-named defendant.

For twenty years Elizabeth had been thelawful wife of the deceased, but eventuallyv.as divorced from him, whereupon he mar-ried the co-defendant, Kite 11., and livedwith her until his death .'even months later.Itwas attempted t>*prove on behalf of theBret that spouse No. 2, besides alienatinghis affections from the first wife, had beennothing more than a mistress to him.

The court, however, confined tlie proof tothe first point, and as undue influence wasnot shown conclusively, decided in favor ofth3second wife.

MISCEI^AKEODS^

Good N%ws!No one, who is willing to adopt the rightcourse, need be long afflicted with boils, car-buncles, pimples, or other cutaneous erup-tions. These are the results of Nature's ef-forts to expel poisonous and effete matterfrom the blood, and show plainly that thesystem is ridding itself through the skin of

.Impurities which itwas the legitimate workof the liver and kidneys to remove. To re-store these organs to their proper functions,Ayer's Sarsaparilla is the medicine required.That no other blood-purifier can comparewithit, thousand? testify who have gained

Freedom-from the tyranny of depraved blood by theuse of this medicine.. "Fornine years Iwas afflicted withaskindisease that did not yield to any remedyuntil a friend advised me to tryAyer's Sarsa-parilla. With the use of this medicine thecomplaint disappeared. Itismy belief thatno other blood medicine could have effectedso rapid and complete a cure."— AndresI).Garcia, C. Victoria. Tamauiipas, Mexico.

-"Myface, for years, was covered withpim-

ples and humors, for whichIcould find noremedy tillIbegan to take Ayer's Sarsapa-

• rilla. Three bottles of this great blood medi-cine effected a thorough cure. Iconfidently

recommend it to all suffering from similar. troubles."— M.I'arker, Concord, Vt..
