eamiy ihave telegraphic communication all wis tune with the outside world. The California Idea does not varv In Ha essential particulars rom two rapid-transit systems which were exhibited at the World's Fair. One of these, known as the Cook syetem, proposed to have oars suspended from a single track, placed at the top of series of poles. The idea was that the cars were to be somewhat in the shape of a present railway car cut lengthwise In twain. One set would move In one direction on one side of the pole.

and the other set on the other side In the opposite direction. This was an in vention of L. D. Cook of Tacoma, who constructed trial track on the outskirts of Taoqma, and claimed to have run Iris oars successfully at the rate of 100 miles an hour. The only difference tetween the Cook system and the Thomas plan is that the latter would suspend the cars from a series of cables instead of from an Iron track.

Electricians believe that some such ele vated or suspended railway, operated by electricity, will soon supplant our present surface roods. They believe the day Is not lar distant when it will be possible to make, the trip from Boston to New York, or New York to Washington, in less than two hours, from New York to Chicago In less than nine hours, and clear across the continent in a single twenty-four-hour day. The most wonderful part of all this Is that they insist that these electrical railroads can be built so as to run trains at one hundred to one Hun dred end fifty imUos an hour, with- far greater eafety, oomfort, ease, and far less expense than the eteaxn roads, which now make not much over fifty miles an hour. They hold out the prospect, that eo cheap will railroad traveling become wnen tnese susneneorv roads are constructed and in operation that one will be able to travel from New York Chicago for a matter of $5 or, $6, and clear across the continent lor perhaps not more than xz5. POMONA.

A Dastardly Act Trustee Meeting- Fruit and Flower Mision. POMONA, April 3. (Special Correspond ence.) A dastardly piece of work was executed either Tuesday afternoon or Tuesday night, by some unknown party or parties breaking into the store of O. Sweet at the corner of Second and Gordon streets, the one occupied by the late Charles O. Sweet, wboBe funeral was being beld, and burglarizing it of about S25 in cash and $50 worth of merchandise, making their entrance through a tran som at the rear of the building.

After the fact was discovered vnis morning a report was Immediately made to the local officers, who, on a thorough examination, concluded that it had been perpetrated by three hobos or tramp transients, that had been loitering around for three or four days past, and that had disappeared since last night Upon these facts Constable and Deputy Sheriff Frank O. Blanker had the necessary warrants issued from Justice Barnes's office, and left tor San Bernardino. One suspect has already been committed here, and the remaining local officials have their eyes and ears both open to learn what may be seen or heard. TRUSTEE'S MEETING. The City Trustees only three, Messrs.

Gallup, Graber and Hutchinson, met at 7:30 last night in the City Hall, and be sides hearing and auditing the regular monthly bills tor salaries, current expenses, the following business was transacted: Ordinances Nos. 135 and 136, already spoken of more in detail in a former letter were put on their passage and adopted, the latter relating to the organi zation of Pomona's fire department under State law. Thomas J. Emerick services as extra night-watchman suspended, to, take effect immediately, as prior notification had been given by City Clerk under, instructions trpm the board. Thirty days extension was granted in which the delivery of the Holoway chemi cal engine, contracted for, could be de livered.

This Will bring it to May 9. The electric light bill was scaled down $14 on, last month's account The reports of the City Recorder, Clerk and Marshal were received and referred to the Finance Committee. Al H. Tufts tried to secure the sense of the board in the shape of a vote on a resolution to the. effect that the board intended paying tor that part of the pav-in of Second street covered by the street and alley intersections between the and western limits of the portion to be paved by Messrs.

Fairchlld Vincent, but the board could not see it in this light, claiming that it would be a matter for the incoming board to decide, and that this board did not wish to dictate, The board then adjourned to 9 o'clock Monday morning, April 15, at which time the votes will be canvassed and the new members elected seated. Edward Stevens, an Invalid, died here yesterday, and was burled at 2 o'clock this afternoon. Also It has been learned here that G. E. Toshock, at one time a tourist here in search of health, remaining more than a year, has just died at his mother's home in Bracebrldge, Canada.

Arthur Patterson has returned' from Cincinnati, where he has been attending a medical school. Weaver Freeman and Miss Mella Freeman of Adel, Iowa, have arrived In Pomona and are guests of H. C. Sutton and family. William Blake, who has been so feeble at his home in Pomona, has removed to his daughter's Mrs.

Louis Phillips, of Soadra. It cost Pomona about $90.80 to feed her "hobo" guests during the month of Marcn, besides the wages of the guards while they were at work on the streets during the day. Their friends and their name is legion should not forget that no cards will be Issued by the young ladles of "The Fruit and Flower Mission" for their annual reception in Odd Fellows' Hall, Tuesday evening, April 9, but they will be glad to welcome all their friends. They hold their annual election of officers this evening. Itebs, the Anarchist.

(Spokamj Outburst:) Judging from the reception given to Debs in this cttv. one would think that the Anarchist of a year aeo nas become the hero of today. This enthusiast, as all well know, came near precipitating a civil war In this country. which was only averted by the rise of the patriotic spirit of America, which con. demned his rash acts and his questionable methods.

Under any other government than our own Debs would have paid a severe penalty for his conduct But the American people are forgiving, and have partially condoned his offense by giving him the credit of sincerity in his purpose, however crazy In his intellect It is Ko ine too far, on the other hand, for him to travel in the guise and to receive the honors of a hero. It is a bad precedent to reward a man with his record with the homage of the people; and it Is astonishing to see the pandering prcu and truckling politicians this city vie vl.th each other in heaping honor upon this man's head. Debs ought to be asking forgiveness from this nation Instead of honor. He ought to think of the wrong he has committed against the thousands of railroad men in this, couitry, who followed hlra to their own deetructfon. Instead of traveling about the country taking their halves of dollars tor the permission to see him, and hear him tell his tale' of woe.

Away with false notions of heroism. Let us be sane in respect to our country and discriminate between the true hero who saves our country and the Anarchist who attempts to destroy it.

LOS ANGELES, April (To the Ed itor of The Times:) We have a new city growing up on and amid our hills, whose tall spires are everywhere pointing sky ward. Yet there is nothing spiritual about them, but they all speak of the ma terial and the sordid. The lover of beauty finds In his heart as he traverses those beautiful, green heights, the loveliest about' Los Angeles, and discover such a wilderness of derricks on every hand, with tSte fresh, pure air dimmed by smoke. These heights should have been our Nob Hills, the place for our most pala tial hornet, for the perspective from their summits Is marvelously beautiful. All the grand aweeo from the mountains to ithe sea is unrolled before the sight The popples blossom (here, and small lakes gleam like crystal, while beyond the wide, tree-embossed Intervale the great sea ishlmmers and sparkles, twln with the blue or tne wonderful ky that bends above it.

But the hunger for the almighty dollar is stronger than the love of simple beauty, and life's wheels must be lubricated and (made to run smodbhly, and so. the der ricks go up and the oil wells go down, and gold finds lbs way Into the pockets of tne owners. The Kreatest ood to' the majority the thing to be regarded after all. so the lover of nature must go hts way nursing his regrets, while the busy populace rejoices over the prospect of new business life for Los Angeles, and an ample sup ply of fuel for the future, of its manu facturers. Nature has ivwn her preference for California even the oil which she has deposited In her breast, for it la of a better quality than dhe beBt, 4t is said, that is yielded by the Pennsylvania oil wells, and ought to be of more than ordinary commercial value.

1 It is but another thing added to our rapidly developing resources, the value of wihloh we have scarcely begun to realize. But this oil find may be regarded as another Index of our future, and It points to tne prospect that Los Angeles da destined to become one ot tne biggest and, mostt prosperous cities on this slope. Its metropolitan character is aireauy estaiDnsnea, inougn was ouiy begun to take on the- magnificent growth which the future Will see fully established. It Is the city of Callfornila's future, tne Mecca to Which Eastern pilgrims and home- seekers will flock, and beyond the oil district tt will ultimately be built up as one of the handsomest residence cities of the continent MANIFEST DESTINY. The Scarlet Woman.

SANTA BARBARA, April 2, 1895. (To the Editor of The Times:) Permit me to express in decided terms my hearty approval of your editorial in today's Times, "The Scarlet Woman." I like to see real evils faced and rebuked, instead of ignored. Your last paragraph certainly suggests one step, at least, toward remedy that remedy suggested as the only one by Dr. Napheys, who said; "Re form the Men! Another important' side to this question is that of the fallen women being allowed at windows on public streets, insulting the passers-by. Oh! the Bhame of it! Never shall I forget the dlBgust experi enced when, in San Francisco, a few years ago, lately arrived from the East, I had occasion, in broad daylight to pass through one or two ot those streets where the first names ot these women are conspicuously displayed upon the doors, and where the women themselves are so con spicuously displayed, close by the halt-open shutters.

If such a thing exists In Los Angeles, either morning, afternoon or evening, banish It, at the very least, from the sight ot chance visitors! More than that, banish it for the sake of your own city's good, and for the sake of your inhabitants! Yours very truly, JOHN O. COIT. A Woman of Sense. LOS ANGELES, April 8. (To the Editor of The Times:) I watch with a great deal of interest the appearance of the cartoons in your valuable paper, for the reason that they seem to fait the nail on the head every time.

I am a woman suffragist; tihat is, I be lieve women deseive, and should have, the right to vote, as well as many of the men who exercise tlhat privilege. Whether it will pay them to do so, descending from their high position to mix in politics, is still open to argument. I want to thank you for the cartoon, which, under the heading of "No Wonder She Kicks," appeared In last Sunday's issue. It shows that you are fair to both sides of the question, end, while your artist does not hesitate to assail Che weak points in he armor of "fakers" among women (and their name is Legion,) who, tike the "walking delegate," espouse a cause for "what there is In It," be still sees clearly that the true woman has qualities which make her the companion and equal of man. Very reepeetfully.

AN ONLOOKER. As to Ducks. SAN PEDRO April 2, 1895. (To the Editor of The Times:) I see by your paper of today whera some local sportsman wants protection for the wild game. He bad better learn something about the wild duck before he wants protection, on March 15 the Jaw did the whole thing, and our noble snort has it that there are thou sands of young ducks murdered, and all batched out In seventeen days.

He has failed to tell us where the wild ducks bought their incubator, or how In the world did they hatch out in seventeen days. It takes four weeks to natch young ducks. It is too bad If the Supervisors will not help blm out to have plenty of ducks for next winter, when he can go into some pasture field where be will have a duck herder to corral tne cucks so he can murder thorn, because he belongs to the Gun Club of Los Angeles. For thirty-five years I have been bunting ducks in all parts, and I never saw a place like Los Angeles, where a stranger cannot go out for a day bunting. When there are a hundred (thousand mliUon of ducks that never will be killed; but still we must do without bunting because we do not be long to the club.

Now, lor the good ot all the sports, I hope there will be no ducks to be murdered for tne next five years to come. Respectfully yours, a bunter from away back, JACK FRANKS. Here is a Breezy Cuss.

H. Barnes of San Francisco was then introduced, and made a very Interesting and witty address. He said that the lodge was instituted forty, years ago, Just five months before be Joined the order. He received the rank of grand master in the State of Georgia. He spoke of the hospitalities he received in Los Angeles twelve years ago, when he was a delegate to the Press Association which met here, and made many flattering comments upon the city and the citizens.

Mr. Barnes also spoke cordially of the 4000 members of the Rebekah Lodge, and said that the 260,000 women were all handsome, as the constitution says that only good looking women may become members. (Applause.) The encampment branch, the subordinate lodges and the Rebekah lodge comprise 1,200,000 men and women, marching beneath the banner inscribed with the legend: "Friendship, love and truth." One hundred and seventy-five thousand widowed and darkened homes have been relieved, and children protected and educated. No Odd Fellow Is ever buried in a pauper grave, n6r their widows or orphans allowed to go "over the hill to the poorhouse." On April 26, the speaker said, he would give an address at the seventy-sixth anniversary of the Institution of the order in the United States.

wesner. AN AERIAL ELECTRIC ROAD. ii mm mhi.i The Rapid Transit Scheme Proposed by a San Francisco Capitalist. A railroad on wire. Such is the scheme WMch D.

R. P. Thomas, a San Francisco capitalist, now has on foot He proposes to build what he calls an aerial road from San Francisco to Los Angeles up the cele brated San Joaquin Valley. 'The cars will be suspended on cables and operated by electricity. They wall run at the rate of 100 miles an hour.

No grading will be necessary for the construction of this road. no ties, and no rails, no bridges and no fencing In of track. No section gang will De required in its maintenance. It will, so Its projector thinks, be the first road In America to be absolutely free irom smasn-ups. The cars can't collide head on because the road Is a double track.

and they can't be telescoped because, by a simple little mechanism, is one train. comes too close to another the electricity is shut off. No obstructions or blockades can Interfere with its running. The cars cannot Jump the. track.

The wear and tear on its mechanism and rolling stock la comparatively light It costs from one-third to two-thirds less to construct maintain than any other line of railroad. It almost solves the question of the right or way. The road may be quickly con' structed and will be sightly when finished, This new railroad Is not the (invention of the capitalist, but of bis blind brother. "Ho planned it ail out in bis darkness. eaya Mr.

Thomas, "and you will see, one of tnese days, that It Is such a perfectly feasible and admirable plan that It will one day supersede the surface roads, both, in the city and in the country. The cheapness of construction and the nigh rate of speed attainable by such a railway are, of course. Its main advan tages. As far as speed Is concerned, is now only a question of atmospheric re sistance. And tbis natural factor can be largely overcome by constructing the cars either cone-shaped or with pointed ends like the prow of a.

boat But that, of course, is an after-consideration, and no such device will be needed to attain a speed, say, of 100 miles an hour. And such a rate can be maintained easily and with entire comfort and safety to the passen gers In their mid-air railway. There can be no obstructions on the track, for there is no track, and no snows or washouts can retard the trains. There axe no dirt or dust or smoke and soot to make traveling a hardship, no Jarring and rumbling and ear-e putting noises to make one deaf," Concerning the motive power. Mr, Thomas believes that we shall eventually nna a ore superior to electricity that is, compressed the possibilities which.

Mr. Thomas declares, are as yet but little known. "My plan." says Mr. Thomas, "would be to build compressed-air tanks dang the road in the country where trains could 'stop for a'raame-it or two and recuperate toe motive supoiy. I am satisfied that in the end compresred air would be cheaper no more satisfactory than electricity." The road will be elevated from ten to twenty feet above the gnswnd, according to the requirements of the grade and whether the road be passing through the country or the city.

The cars will be con-aidsrably smaller and iigh'ter than the present rail-way cars now in They will be lighted by ana heated in Election of Grand Officers at Yesterday's Meeting.

Coming back, they took la Alvarado street to Washington, then came down to Toberman street and along Adams and Figueroa, then north to Pico and Hill streets, and so back to the temple, with the recollection of a thoroughly jolly morning and an Increased admiration for the many beauties of Los Angeles.

Beckwlth in Garden and Forest:) In many parts of the Southern States the growers of Irish potatoes find that they have the best success with that crop when second-crop seed Is used. The potatoes are planted early in the season, and when mature the tubers are planted and a seoond crop produced. This second crop, which matures late In the fall, Is in great demand for planting the following season, as the tubers produce strong, healthy plants, which yield much more abundantly than do those of the first orop when kept over for seed. Growers of sweet potatoes in Virginia find that by using what is known as "slip seed" they are able to secure a much larger crop ot roots, which are of much better quality than those from the sets ordinarily used. It is also claimed that the use of slip, seeds produces crops that are free, from injury by the disease known as black shank.

Slip seed Is grown from cuttings about six inches long taken during the latter part of June or the first ot July from the vines In the fields. These cuttings are at once planted In the same manner as are the rooted plants which are used earlier In the season for the main crop. The cuttings produce tubers which compare favorably in size and yield with those grown from sets, and when used as "seed" these tubers produce a greater number of stronger and Wealthier plants than those grown from rooted plants earlier in the season. The demand tor this seed Increasing every year, and-the production of this slip seed is becoming quite an Industry in many sec MOURNING hats and bonnets rented: no charge to customers. Zobel's.
