THE SONS OF TIIE REVOLUTION.
Have a lianquet Last Night at the Hoffman
Cafe
The California Society of the Sons of the
Revolution met last night at the parlors of
Hoffman Cafe to attend to business and
enjoy a banquet. The meeting was
largely attended and (proved a pleasant
success in every way.
A short business meeting preceded the
banquet. An amendment to the con
stitution was proposed and adopted,
that only lineal descendants of
revolutionary sires should be eligible to
membership. This makes tho local con
stitution conform to the laws and unvary
ing usage of the general society. Memor
ials of respect and regret were passed on
the death of William Leverott Chase, prea
i<lent, of the Massachusetts branch of the
society, and Rev. S. F. Smith, tlie vener
able author of America. Some
slight amendments in the by laws
were made, and a vote of thanks was
passed by the society to Mr, Haines for
the presentation of a piece of Colonial
money.
The business meeting was then ad
journed, and the members present fell
voraciously on the good things provided
for them by Mr. Polaski. Addresses were
made by the president, Colonel H. O. Col
lins. Major Frank C. Presco t contributed
one of his bright, chatty speeches, and
Hon. Ben Goodrich and Col. S. O. Hough
ton also spoke. Solos were sung by Cap

SALARY MORE THAN FEES
President Teed Wants to Know a Few
Things
Methvin'a Demand Waa Once More Held Out
But Only For a Time-Snyder
and His Tax
James Methvin, oil well inspector, is
In danger of losing his position and the
$90 monthly salary thereto attached. No
fault is being found by those in authority
with Methvin as an official, by either the
oil operators or the municipal authorities *
but the receipts of his office have so far
fallen short of the expenditures by some
considerable aggregate amount.
Of the total number of three hundred
odd wells which are in the city, only
ninety-seven had up to last evening paid
their tax of $1.50 per quarter. The other
owners can not be found by the collector,
and no one in the Held appears to know
their location.
When the ordinance licensing the wells
was first passed it was expressly under
stood that the inspector's salary was to
come from the tax to be collected, which
it was argued would more than foot the
bill. Methvin's first demand for his pay
was for this reason held out for mine little
time by President Teed of the council,
who did not want to approve of it while
there was no money on hand for the pur
pose in the proper lund. Teed found upon
investigation, however, that his position
did not allow him to discard any demand
which bad been properly pasaed
by the council, and he reluctantly
gave his official consent to the payment of
Methvin's salary. He began ac once,
however, to investigate the subject thor
oughly, and as a result of his probing, be
had, on last Monday, a resolution adopted
in council calling upon the clerk to furnish
the amount of the oil tax which had so far
been collected as it applies to the salary of
the inspector. There is no doubt among
those who know what is going on beneath
the surface ab<<ut the city hall, that the
object of Teed's resolution is Methvin's
official scalp.
Councilman M. P. Snyder of the Second
ward is one of the owners of a well who
has so far neglected lo pay his tax. The
city clerk will today post printed notices
throughout the length and breadth of tbe
district calling upon all who have so far
neglected to do so to comply with the law
by December 20, after which date they
will be prosecuted in the police court. The
oil operators, tlie city clerk says, have now
had over two months iv which to pay the
quarterly tax, and he has finally become
suspicious tbat a majority of those owning
wells may be giving him what the boys
call "the Jolly."
APPLIED CHRISTIANITY
A fleeting Last Night at the Simpson
Tebernecle
A meeting of the Los Angeles Instiute
of Applied Christianity was held laat night
at the Simpson tabernacle, unite a num
ber were present and Louis K. Webb, tbe
secretary of the local institute, occupied
tlie chair for the evening.
Most of the time was taken up listening
to a paper on tbe Historic hurcli. read by
0. P. Smith of the Oakland Institute of
Applied Charily. The gen lonian reated
hie subject exhaustively, the main argu
ment of he paper being the question of
whether the present transition period is a
real spirit of Christ perinea .ing the soul, or
if it is materialistic. A moat in cresting
paper it proved to bo, and was listened to
with the closes attention.

SANTA FE ROAD DISPOSED OF

at Forced Sale
The Remarkable History of This (treat Cor*
porailon extending Back tor •
Period of Twenty-five Years.
Topeka, Dee. lO.—At 2:05 oelock this
afternoon Special Master in Chancery J.
B. Johnson, bareheaded, mounted the
stone steps at the Topeka s ation of the
Santa Fe Kiilr.atl Company and an
nounced he would oiler the great railroad
property for sale. A large crowd covered
the platform and trac v. Johnson said
that owing to the failure of the railroad
company to pay $110,000,000 within
twenty days last fall the United States
Court has issued a decree ordering the
sale of the property. He then proceeded
to read the lengthy decree.
Before he completed the reading his
voice weakened and he called on Col. W.
H. li >a*ington, one of the attorneys for
the Union Trust Company, to finish tho
reading.
Following this, i'oabody, Dodge and
others holders of certain consolidated
bonds of tho St. Louis and San Francisco
road gave notice in a lengthy petition that
live millions of tne bonds had been fraud
ulently obtained and that they wore a first
lien on the property. Other objections
were raised by attorneys for the Chicago,
Sams Fo and California bondholders.
"Nothing will prevent ihe sale," said the
Santa Fe counsellor. "The court has al
ready disposed of these objec ions and
wiped them out of the way as far as to
day's sale is concerned."
The road was dually sold tor $00,000,
--000 to Edward King, representing a new
company. His was the only bid, aud the
Master declared the property sold.
HISTORICAL SKETCH
Record of tho tlrowth and Development oi
the Santa Fo
The Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe
railroad system, which was sold yesterday,
comprized 10,000 miles of track. The
first lino of this great system was built aud
opened for travel in 1870. It ran for a
distance of sixty miles from Atchison,
Ivan., to Topeka, the state capital. Short
ly afterward the road was extended to the
southwest, to the coal fields of Osage
county, Kansas, and on down to Emporia,
; a distance. From then on the
road was year by year cx
i tended along the valloy of the Arkansas
river, securing as a result the large cattle
Lade which previous to that had been
driven norih to the Kansas brancn of the
Union Pacific road. In the interim a little
flat-boat town at the momh of the Kaw
river known as Kansas City bad been
coming steaddy to tlie front. Tha Mis
souri river had b»en bridged at that
point. Tho Santa Fe company bought in
the lina of the Kansas Midland running
from Topeka to Kansas City. This was in
1870. Tliei came the grasshopper year
and all Kansas was paralyzed. But
when the recovery oame the Santa Fe peo
ple, undaunted, started in to push their
road. Boston capitalists were interested.
The enormous land grant of the company
in Central Kansas was sold to actual set
tlers and branch roads were built. The
main line was extended down the old Santa
Fe trail and by 1880 El Paso was reached.
The stock and bonds of the S »nta Fe com
pany by this time were sea <ered all thro nth
the New England states. Small blocks of
it were held in almost every hamlet ia
Massachusetts. In Holland and other
European centers of capital the bonds and
stock of the company found an easy sale.
An extension was built into Denver. Then
the Santa Fe reached out for the Pacific,
coast. The old Atlantic and Pacific road
was taken hold of. The Santa Fe guaran
teed the bonds of the company and tinder
this guarantee the bonds were sold and a
line was built across mountains, deserts
and plateaus to the Needles, California.
Mr. Huntington, anticipating the arrival
of the Santa Fo, started to bu. d
from Mojavo, Califo nia, east to
meet it. At the Colorado river
bo joined the Atlantic and Pacific. In the
meantime the Santa Fe had built up its
Sole hern California system and was to
join the Atlantic and Pacitio at Barstow.
Af er quite a little dickering the Atlantic
and Pacific pushed Mr. Huntington's line
from Needles to Barstow aud fixed a traf
fic arrangement to gel into -an Francisco.
In 1887 he line t< Chcagowi sbuil and
a road south from Arkansas City, Kin., to
Fort Worth, Tex., was constructed, where
a connection was formed with the Gulf,
Colorado and Santa Ke road, which ex
tended south to Galveston. Hundreds of
miles ot branch lines were constructed in
Kin-ad. I hese great building operations
completely wrecked the finances of the
company. In 188(1 ila stock sold at 220.
The capital was doubled and, according to
the sale made yesterday, the stock itself
was hardly worth the paper it was written
on. It sold yesterday for 16V< in New
York city. The men whose giant intellects
direct the Atchison system have made no
mistake. They merely anticipated the
needs of the great and growing west. Tlio
management of the great system has al
ways been in the hands of men of broad
gauge, and a liberal policy has been pur
-1 sued. The Santa Fe has always had as
much of a soul in its management as it is
possible lor any great corporation lo have.

THE SCIENCE ASSOCIATION
Regular Monthly Meeting at the Cham'
ber of Commerce
Interesting Symposium on the Value ol ths
Spectroscope In Aatronomy, Physics,
Chemistry and Toxicology
Last night's meeting of the Southern
California Scierce Association, held at the
Chamber of Commerce, was one of the
best in die history of the organization. A
large and intelligent audience was present
to listen to the symposium on Spectrum
Analysis. By the courtesy of theTbroop
Polytechnio Institu'e tlie lecturers were
enabled o iilustra c their work by the use
of the spectroscope. The lirst speaker
waa B. R. Baumgardt, who treated the sub
ject of be invention of the spectroscope
and its value iv astronomical research.
Mr. Baumgardt spoke of the importance
of the invention to all modern scientific
discovery, more especially in its relation
to astronomy. He dwelt on die wonderful
work of photographing the spectra of the
planets so as to determine their a mos
pherlc surroundings and he direction and
velocity of their movements. Ilia paper
was one of great interest and was listened
to with close attention.
The value of the spectroscope in physics
was the s bject of an interesting dis
course by Professor L. H. Gilmore of
Throop institute. During the course of
bia talk the professor explained the
method of using the spectroscope in his
own particular Branch of study, eaplain
ing the divisions of the solar spectrum and
the qualities of the different wave lengths,
from the heat-producing properties of the
red to the chemical qualities of the violet.
Perhaps the most thoroughly interesting
lecture from the standpoint of the general
listener, was that of Dr. E. A. Praeger on
the value of the spectroscope in toxicology,
or, in other words, tlie medico-legal uses
of he instrument. Dr. Praeger pom ed
out tre advantage of its use in detecting
the presence of poison in cases where a
doubt exists as to whether a victim died of
poisoning or from other causes. The
speaker went into details, showing tbe
many instances in which the services of
the spectroscope might be used In further
ing the ends of justice. He cited cases
where blood had been discovered on a
knife which had been used ten years be
fore the operation, in conclusion, he out
lined ihe possibilities of the futuie in
medical jurisprudence by a scientific use
of tho spectroscope.
Prof. W. ti. Gaylord of Throop Institute
spoke of the subject from the standpoint
of the chemist. His talk was illustrated
by using the spectroscope in showing the
effects of certain chemicals when sub
jected 10 the Ore, giving the spectrum of
each and showing its relation to the solar
spectrum.
A general discussion followed, in which
many questions were asked and answered
by the professors present. Everyone was
given an opportunity to examine the
working of the spectroscope while various
substances were subjected to tlie flume of
a Bunson burner.
