A BOY BURNED TO DEATH. oMas CRAWFORD Is CHOSEN As K OF PoLICE JUDGE Woobs’ CouRT. A little aiter 3 o’clock yesterday morn- ing three pistol shots rang out on the air on Alice street, between Twelfth and Tenth. Then there was a blowing of police-whistles, and soon a crowd of officers had gathered to listen to the story of the man who did the shooting, Special Officer T welfth his beat near when he saw, opposite himself, a figure skulking along in the shadow of the house of G. A. Faulkner, from which it wasap- parent the person had just emerged, as a dim light was seen to be burning in the and Alice streets house. Ayers was on the opposite side of the street, and in the darkness could not tell whether the figure was that of a man ora woman. As it drew nearer the officer thought he noticed a bundle being carried by the figure, and he called out for the person to The only glided along a little in the oilicer called halt, stat- was an officer, but the man, for such Ayers now saw it _was, only broke intoarun.

Burned to Death. frame house ear the Plittsville Hotel, owned by Haggerty brothers and occupied by then: a grocery-store and saloon, was destroyed by fire at an early hour Monday morning. A tw Leandro roa The upper story of the building was oc- | o cupied as a dwelling-house by A. M. Hall, who th his mother, wife and two chil- dren, bad a battle with the flames that they will never forget, and little Bennie Hall, 9 ye “It rs old, was fatally burned. between 2 and 3 o’clock® in the said Mr. Hall, *when I was ned by the cry of fire to tind my sleeping-room filled with smoke. I rushed to my mother's room, and taking her in my arms carried her to the stairway and started her down. ] returned for my wife, and finding that Mr. Haggerty had taken care of her my next thought was the babies. The fire had gained such headway that it was impossible to reach them by the hallway, and rushing to the outside I procured a ladder and climbed up to the window. The smoke and flames in the room were suffocating, but I found the little girl, who was uninjured. I handed her to Mr. Haggerty, who had fol- lowed me up the ladder and returned for the boy. “Poor little Bennie, when 1 found him he was almost roasted alive. I picked him up and hurried from the now falling build- ing and carried him to the home of some friends who live next door, where Dr. Beckwith did all‘in his power to relieve the little sufferer.” j At 7 o’clock last night the boy died. The building, which was almost new and worth $2750, had no insurance. 3 Haggerty placed a value of §4000 on his stock, with one-half insured. The Hall family lost everything, not even their clothing being saved. Investigating the Lake. Dr. Mouser, the Health Officer of the Temescal district, in which is located Lake Temescal, one of the_sources of supply of the Contra Costa Water Company, has beeu making an investigation of the charges of foulness in the watershed, as re})orted in the CALL a few days ago. The doctor in his report finds much to *complain of, He filed his report with the Board of Supervisors yester x:i; and the board referred the matter to the District Attorney. Capitalists Keeping Their Gold. The Oakland terminal committee, having in hand the raising of money to induce the San Joaguin Valley road to come to Oak- “land, is somewhat discouraged over the slow way collections are eolpmfi_ in. The trath is that the fund is making little prog- d that he was patrolling | on the San | s ress, and the local papers have taken up the cudgel to awaken the men of money. One local journal says: “There are selfish and tight-fisted persons in every com- munity and Oakland has her full share of them.” Many of these regard it as a cer- tainty that the new road will come to Oak- land and so they refuse to subscribe. They calculate on deriving all the benefit with- out putting out any money. They expect to prosper at the expense of their more liberal neighbors.” Judge Frick’s Hot Words. Judge Frick’s decision by which he or- dered Superintendent Dowling_ to deliver uv to Assignee Chetwood the 1020 shares of California National Bank stock which “‘Soap King” Thomas had given him for safe keeping, would have made the “Soap King's' ears tingle had he heard them. Judge Frick said: ‘It appearing to the court’s satisfaction that the assignment of Thomas to Dowling was made without con- sideration, and was made for the sole pur- pose of preventing said stock from coming to the hands of the assignee and to defeat | pro tanto the law and this court and these insolvency proceedings, and that the as- signment was not in good faith, but was a mere fraudulent sham resorted to for pur- poses of delay and to defeat the insolvency proceeding.’” Ousted Because of Politics. C. E. Gardner, who has been employed by the Southern Pacific Company, has been dismissed, he claims because he pre- sided at a People’s party meeting at the Tabernacle. Mr. Gardner makes complaint because he says the man under whom he worked, Yardmaster W. B. Ludlow, had also ap- peared as a vice-president at a political | meeting. He thinks that he has as much right to go into politics as his superior. Settled Out of Court. The case of Mrs. Maud Johns vs. Samuel J. Johns Sr. for $25,000 for alienating the affections of her husband, was dismissed in Judge Frick’s court yesterday, the par- ties having concluded to settle the case out of court. In her complaint Mrs. Johns alleged that she was married to Samuel J. Johns Jr.on the 27th of May, 1889. The father was not pleased with his son’s marriage | and has tried to turn him against her by | saying ¢ she was a person of loose moral character and was in the habit of taking improper liberties with men, and snota fit or proper person to be his wife. Judge Woods’ New Clerk. It hasbeen announced that Judge Woods of the Police Court has selected Thomas “rawford of West Oakland to fill the va- cancy made by the expiration in a few days of the term of office of W. R. Lam- bert, clerk of the Police Court. The new appointee was formerly Deputy County Clerk and resides at 1521 Nintl street. Useful Life Ended. Rev.

There isa strong feeling against the proposed bill. Electric Inspection. The Committee on Electric Lights of the City Trustees are not desirous of accepting the $10,000 incandescent plant until a(‘;or a thorough inspection by an expert on elec- trical apparatus. George P. Low, the con- sulting engineer of the Board of Under- writers, and two assistants are making a thorough inspection and will submit a re- | port. The Trustees repose much con- | fidence in Mr. Low and his report will be | awaited with inter. The incandescent | electric lights are being rapidly intro- duced. However, there are 4 number of the merchants who object to paying the cost of wiring their stores and have a petition before the board a g that the i and the expense of wiring, but there ttle likelihood of it being received favorably. Lighted by Electricity, Chestnut and Morton street stations on the narrow gauge are now lighted with in- | candescent electric lights.” Grand and Willow street stations on the broad gauge are also being wired. ! BERKELEY. Residents of the Daly Scenic Tract are puzzled over a mysterious occurrence on Saturday night last. The concomitant | parts of the mystery are a woman's | agonized shriek, a man’s yell of terror, two tol shots and a couple of people lifting mething, evidently a human body, from the ground and carrying it away in the direction of an adjacent creek. | The occurrence as related by James | Fishelbank, J. Wallin and a student named Picrce is to the effect that on the night in | question they heard a woman’s voice scream, “For God's sake, don't shoot.'’ Then a shot was fired. Almost simulta- | neously a masculine voice cried out in | terror. Then another shot rang out.

The Southern Pacific will put in force some time this week a new time schedule for all trains for the north and east which go via Sacramento. The disabling of the large ferry-boat Solano at Benicia forces all trains for Sac- ramento to go by way of Stockton. That route is sixty miles longer than the other, and to avoid having all trains from one to two hours late it has been decided to make the hour of departure from S8an Francisco ngpraximltely an hour and a half earlier than formerly and the hour of arrival here correspondingly later. No change will, however, be made in the case ofgthe At- lantic express leaving here at 7 A. m. The changes by the new schedule are approxi- mately as follow: Eastbound trains—European mail from 6 P. M. 10 4:30 P. ., Oregon express from 7 P. M. 10 5:30 P, 3. Westbound trains, arrivals—Atlantic express from 6:45 A. M to 7:45 A.M., European mail 9:45 A. M, 1010:45 A. 3., Oregon express from 10:45 4. &, t0 11:45 A M. OUR NEW ENERGY AND ENTERPRISE IF KEPT UP, SAYS PRESIDENT WAT- KINS OF THE BOARD OF TRADE, SUCCESS IS ASSURED. BRIGHT TRADE PROSPECTS. MEeRcCHANTS URGED TO AID THE ‘WORK OF THE MANUFACTUR- ERS' CONVENTION. At the eighteenth annual meeting of the Board of Trade held yesterday afternoon in their new rooms on the fourth floor of 202 Market street, A. A. Watkins was elected president for the third time. The other officers chosen were: First vice-presi- dent, Webster Jones; second vice-presi- dent, 8. Nickelsburg; treasurer, E. W. Newhal!; secretary, H. Smith; attorney, Joseph Kirk; directors, Samuel Dinkel- spiel, T. J. Parsons and Sanford Bennett. President Watkins delivered his annual report in which he reviewed the work done by the directors during the year, and al- luded in termsof commendation to what the Merchants’ Association is doing in the matter of cleaning the streets. Among other things Mr. Watkins said: 1 feel compelled to say a few words npon a topic which of 1ate is pressing to the front and receiving considerable attention. I refer to the encouragement of home manufactory. California is the second wool-producing Stafe of the Union. It has immediately around it great wool-producing States, and it is almost next door to Australia, whence all mix- ing wools come, yet our product of woolen goods is insignificant. There js no foundation for the assertion that this State cannot com- pete with Eastern manufactories. Our cities would 1ncrease 1wofold and the farmers would have an ample market for their products at re- munerstive rates if our city should become a manufacturing center. There is another aspect of the question de- serving our special attention. We have been told for years and severely confronted with the problem of unemployed people, and have been called upon to provide means of sustenance for & large number of idle men and women. Many plans have been suggested for the care of th people. There is but one worthy of considera- tion ; that i them employment. The cre- ation and maintenance of mauufactories would materially ussist n settling this vexed ques- tion. A convention of manuifacturer: 111 shortly assemble in this city and the subject will be prominently brought before the public. I trust the members of this association will take an active interest in promoting and assisting the meritorious objects which this convention will be called upon to consider. The prospects of business throughout the country, although they have been clouded by & variety of causes during the past two years, ATe NOW in A Way of appearing in a clearer an more definite light. The retarding influences are likely to be modified so as to render them less obstructive to the operations of the agen- c at work to produce a healthy condition in the numerous arteries of trade and commerce. The commendable public spirit and enterprise which our capitalists and citizens are now evincing in various waysis deserving of special appreciation and praise. If the publ eTRY which has lately been arqused is earnestiy maintained it is evident that an era of marked advancement assured us. The president announced the following as the death roll of members since the pre- vious annual meeting: J. C. Wilmerding, Bernard Held, Martin Heller, S. O. Alex ander, John Ivancovich, Jacob Gundlach and Louis Kline. From the treasurer's report it appeared that the receipts during the yearamounted 7! the disbursements to $20,794 58. ation has on hand §23,463 06. he report of L.

The principal business in which these failures occurred were: General merchandise, 166; cigars, tobacco and liguors, 43; furnishing goods, 39 hardware, 29; boots and 1‘1:\thinf, 19; fancy goods, 16; v, 15; jewelry, 12, Attorney Kir report shows in detail the amount of work done in the matter of attachments and legal business transacted on behalf of the board. There were 143 attachments, involving $302,315 23. By a_unanimous vote the board, on mo- tion of J. P. Le Count, adopted a resolution pledging the board’s support in the move- ment to compel the city to pay the bills due merchants for goods furnished. Mr. Le Count stated that the association of merchants who are asking for their money numbers ninety and that their claims amount in the aggregate to $110,000. He said that_he would urge upon the Su- pervisors to include in the next tax levy an appropriation to meet these bills. On motion of A.J. Marcuse, acting for W. Castle, the president was empowered to appoint a committee of three to act with a like committee from the Chamber of Commerce in inducing the Legislature not to repeal the Fay fee bill passed in 1893, ich requires that all fees collected by Is in San Francisco shall be paid into the city treasury. and great prosperity will be Exacr as a well-regulated_clock—results accomplished with Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. CUMPETITIMWMBINE. THE QUESTION WILL SOON BE SETTLED BY THE U. S. CIRCUIT COURT. THE CONTINENTAL INSURANCE CoMPANY Is FIGHTING THE COMBINE, The case of the Continental Insurance Company of New York against the com- bined insurance companies for a perpetual restraining order created a great deal of stir in the United States Circuit Court sterday morning. Henry Evans, vice- president, and W. 8, Duval, general mana- ger of the Pacific Coast department of the Continental, were in attendance in com- pany with their attorney, 8. M. Shortridge, and nearly all the companies in the com- bine had representatives there to watch the progress of the question atissue. Many of them also have their leading men out here from the East to watch the struggle and a great legal battle is anticipated. The question at issue is one fraught with great interest to every person in the Golden ‘West who has a piece of property to insure. In every Legislature that has been in session during the past twenty years tuis matter has cropped up. The combined insurance companies made their own rates and any company that refused to join them was frozen out of business. Attempts were made to regulate the matter by legis- lation, but it was all in vain, as general lobbies in the interests of the combine frustrated every effort. What this twenty years of milslation has failed to do the Continental Insurance Company expects to succeed in doing. With the aid of a court of equity it expects to break up the combine by means of a per- petual injunction, and in this manner free the people of California, Oregon, Washing- ton, Idaho, Utah, Arizona and New Mex- ico from the rule of a combination that persists in fixing an arbitrary rate for in- surance and reinsurance, The complaint in the suit was filed on Feb- ruary 23 lastand United States Circuit Judge | McKenna granted a temporary restraining order the same day. The arguments were set for yesterday at 11 o’clock'and at that hour nearly all thefprominent insurance men in town were present. When the case was called S. M. Shortridge asked for a short delay. He pointed out to the court the vast territory that had to be covered and the difficulties encountered in prepar- ing_in advance affidavits that a witness could truthfully certify to. “1t would be different if the matter was a local one,” continued he. “Then the case would be a comgarahvely simple one, but in this instance hundreds of insurance agents are being intimidated and it will take time to get their testimony.”” “The companies who are the” defendants in this suit are being damaged in their business and the argument should pro- ceed,” said Attorney Coogan. ‘“No bond has been given in the case, and the injunc- tion seems to me a little extraordinary.” “Will the gentleman please take note that his clients are restrained from doing an unlawful and wrongful thing?” re- torted Attorney Shortridge. “Our rights are the ones that are being invaded, and we should be doing the protesting and not ou. If your clients are doing a legitimate usiness let them go ahead, but we are act- ing in good faith and we desire to Jay all the available facts in the case before the court.” Judge McKenna cut the discussion short by postponing the hearing of the argu- ment until this morning. A somewhat similar fight to the one in progress here is going on in Iowa and Texas. Inthe former a verdict was given against the combine for ruining an agent’s business. In Seattle the Board of Under- writers has passed resolutions strongly condemning ‘the coercive policy of the combine. hile these various interests are all enlisted in the fight the principal battle-ground will be San Francisco, and the legal conflict will be'a most interesting one. THE oyster season is here again. An oyster-pieor patty leavened with Dr. Price’s Baking Powder is always perfect. ANEW HATING FRATERNITY IT HAS BEEN STARTED AT BERKE- LEY UNIVERSITY BY THE SOPHOMORES. WiLp FLUTTER AND SPECULATION AMONG THE MENACED FRESHIES. A hazin s fraternity in the University of California made its existence publicly known yesterday morning. Rumor has had it for some time that certain men in college had obtained a charter from the Theta Nu Epsilon hazing fraternity, so renowned in Eastern uni- versities, but nothing certain was known until yesterday morning, when their bul- letin-board ‘appeared in the corridor of North Hall. A chapter of the same “frat” spent a brief lifetime in the university about twelve years ago, but it was so completely wiped out by the faculty that no one has thought until now of even memionini hazing. Now that the deeds of the old c’imptcr have blown over and the university is under a new regime the fun-loving college boys have dared to revive the practice of leading the freshmen a lively pace. The ‘‘barbs,” as they call themselves, have announced that their first initiation of seventeen new members will take place on the cinder-path next Friday night at 10:05. The list of names appears on their bulletin board, and a severe penalty wiil be inflicted on those who fail to appear for the initial ceremonies. Small crowds of students could be seen at almost any time of day, scattered over the campus and in the corridors of North Hall, discussing the situation and the pos- sible outcome oi- the-new-horn sophomere brotherhood. Tht freshmen are most con- cerned, for upon them, if upon any one, will fall the lash of the revengeful “barb.” Some think that the faculty will take the matter in hand and prohibit any further measures being made to permanently or- zanize. A stringent law was once passed y them making it a grave offense, pun- ishable by expulsion, to have anything to do with hazing. Some have taken the matter seriously and seem to think that the old-time riding on the rail and gant- let runs will be again carried on. Others are less agitated over it and take the mat- ter as a “‘josh” or scheme to scare the in- experienced freshmen. When the captain of the track athletic team saw that the in- itiation of the new men was to take place on the cinder track he, in_all earnestness, put up a notice that no initiation would be allowed on the track while he has an; thing to do with it, saying that ‘“‘the track is for athletics and not for initiation pur- poses That there is a hazing fraternity in Berkeley and that an initiation will soon take place is beyond all doubt, but whether they will ever put any of their fellow students through the mill remains to be seen. ———— Couldn’t Help Himself. “‘On principle,” said the honorable mem- ber from the ’Steenth District, placing something in his pocketbook and puttin the Tatter back in” his inside vest pocket.

HISS DA WRLLS AND HER WOES. SHE WAS REQUESTED TO WITH- DRAW BY THE METHODIST MINISTERS. RESOLUTIONS WERE ADOPTED THE CoLORED LapY Founp FAVOR WITH THE CONGREGA- TIONALISTS. Miss Ida B. Wells, the colored lady ad- vocate of the negro race, was not indorsed by the Methodist ministers at their meet- ing yvesterday morning. In fact she was politely but firmly requested to leave the room in the middle of the session without being given an opportunity to speak. She complied with the request, but said after- ward: “It was the most unfair thing I have heard of in many a day. Statements were made in the meeting to which I was not allowed to reply. I only wanted a fair hearing.” Miss Wells had attended the meeting because she had heard that a committee had been appointed to report that day upon the advisability of passing resolutions respecting the lynchings in the South. Proceedings were opened yesterday by ‘W. 8. Matthews, editor of the Advocate, who said that he considered eapital punish- ment ought to be dealt out to negroes who committed assaults upon helpless women— 1ef;al capital punishment, not capital pun- ishment by lynching. Mr. Matthews added that he had approved of Miss Wells till he had come across certain passages in her book reflecting upon the ministry. He added that the ministers should not indorse Miss Wells till they know where she hailed from and by whom she herself was indorsed. Miss Wells; who was present, requested to know to what passage in her book the reverend gentleman took exception, but her question was ruled out of order. A hot discussion took place respecting Re W. 8. Matthews’ idea of capital punish- ment and the question was finally laid over for future discussion. Bishop Goodsell. who has lived for four years in New Orleans and Fort Worth, Tex., then said that while he did not con- done lynchings there was another side to the question besides that of Miss Wells. So fierce were the negroes when drunk that it was no uncommon thing for white men to be afraid to leave their families for fear of their bratalities. The Bishop further intimated that he could a tale unfold, in fact, two or three tales, bristling with hor- rible and salacious facts. On hearing this Miss Simms, president of the committee on deaconesses, as well as the deaconesses and other ladies present, withdre Wells calmly stated that she w side to be heard also, as every story the Bishop might tell she could match by two stories of outrages perpetrated upon her hite she was requested to withdraw, which she did somewhat reluctantly, murmuring that there were two sides to every question and she was the only one there who could say a word for. her race. The end of the Bishop’s remarks were heard in strictly executive session, representatives of the press being excluded. The meeting concluded with the report of the committee on lynchings. The orig- inal resolutions prepared by this commit- tee were four in number, one being an in- dorsement of Miss Wells. As it was found that she was not a Methodist and her cre- dentials were not known it was decided not to indorse her, o the fourth resolution was stricken out. - The committee that had repared the resolutions consisted of Re W. W. Case, Rev. W. R. Goodwin, Rev. T. Carroll and Rev. 8. D. Simons. In the course of a long preamble all lynch law, whether in the North or the South, was condemned, and the resolutions as amend- ed read as follows: Resolved, first, That we, Preachers’ A iation in San Francisco, utterly conde: all lynch law, whether in North or South, and cail for swiftand Sufficent punishment for all who engage in these laws and heathenish acts. Resolved, second, That while we condemn lynching, we also insist that every act that would incite these lawless murders should be punished promptly and to the full extent of the law, and that we are in sympathy neither with crimes that provoke lynciing nor with those who take the law in théir own hands, Resolved, third, That we call upon Congress and the State Legislatures and upon all honor- able citizens everywhere to put a stop, both by law and public opinion properly expressed, to these shocking and unchristian parbarities. The above resolutions were passed unani- mously. At the Congregational Monday Club Miss Ida B. Wells ‘made a speech which was listened to with interest by those pres- ent at the meeting. Shestated thatin that same hall a few hours previously lLer cre- dentials had been questioned, but stated that she was indorsed by the colored press and by 8,000,000 of the colored people. **My credentials consist of the support of the entire colored race,” she said. . Miss Wells further gave statistics show- ing that out of 1000 negroes—men, women and children—who had been lym:]xeu dur- ing the last two years, only 269 were for the crime most frequently alleged as the cause of lynchings. The others were for alleged wife-beating, stealing, murder, etc. At the conclusion of her speech, Dr. Brown spoke in the highest terms of Miss Wells’ addresses, both the one delivered in the First Congregational church last Sun- day and her address yesterday. He then introduced a set of resolutions tending to discountenance lynching. An amicable discussion followed as to whether the words, ‘‘the people of the South” in the resolutions should not be made to read, ““the people of both North and South,"” as lynchings have been practiced out of the Southern States. The resolutions were finally adopted unanimously as follows: Resolved, That the members of the Congrega- tional Club of San Francisco, in the interests of humanity and our Christian faith, protest nrninst this barbarous infraction of personal rights, and request our representatives to favor legislation to repress these crimes, and 10 aflord Sugtice 4o the long-oppressed cofored people in accordance with law. Resolved, That in view of these lawless acts of unpnnlahed‘n?udcru it is time that there should be a general protest on the part of Christians in our land against these crimes, and an earnest appeal on behalf of humanity and justice, Resolved, That as these murders and outrages are in our own country; we cannot overlook them, nor silent regarding them, and we call upon the great body of law-abiding people in the South, by whose ‘silence and disregard these evils exist, not to cover up these atroci- ties, but logrolgsl with us against this inhu- manity and injustice, not only as contrary to law, but also as contrar disgrace to civilization and mankind. A paper by Dr. B. G. Northrop was read, on “Strikes and the Ownership of Homes,” and a resolution was unanimously passed calling on the Congregational ministers of San Francisco to raise collections in their churches toward the fund for the unem- the Methodist to ‘Christienity, a BRget ol e : he B:fintlst ministers listened to a paper by Rey, Mr. Whittaker on * The Relation of Palpit and Church o Politicss the speaker urging that while clergymen should uphold what is morally right and condemn all that is morally wrong in pub- lic matters, they should not dabble in party politics. A touching farewell ad- dress was made by Rev. J. Q. A. Henry, in the course of which he alluded to his incrensing deafness and failing health as the cause of his retirement from San Fran- c1sco. 3 “I have been utterly unable to see how I could remain on the Pacific Coast and do this work,” he said when alluding to his increasing infirmities. i + Aninteresting address on China was de- "FOREMAN livered before the Presbyterian Ministerial Union by Dr. Farnham of Shanghai, China. While speaking highly of the in. dustry and law-a%iding spirit of the lower classes in China, he scathingly rebuked the Government and the mandarins, declaring the Government to be nothing buta legally organized system of robbery and oppres- sion. “The Chinese,”’ he said, “show their wisdom in not fighting for such rulers, who are not worthy of the name of gov- ernment,” During Lent the usual meetings of the clericans have been turned into devotional exercises presided over by Bishop Nichols. “THE RUNNING MADMAN." His Action Discussed at Emmanuel Church by Rev. J. G. Gibson. Rev. J. George Gibson preached a stir- ring sermon to a large congregation at Emmanuel Baptist Church Sunday even- ing. After singing a barytone solo, ‘’Tis Only a Little Way,” Dr. Gibson took as his text, “He saw Jesus far off, he ran and worshiped him,” Mark v:6. The preacher discussed the man’s position. “You are far off from God,”” he said, ‘‘but you do not want to be. You are not a big sinner, but your heart condemns you. You do not doubt God’s existence. Perhaps your feel- ing of far-offness comes from knowing God has been good to you and that you have not been faithful to him. Then you are not so young as you were. You used to pray, but you are too far off for that now. Then, perhaps there are evil things in yol?r life that make you ashamed of your- self. ‘‘Secondly, there were advantages in this man’s position. In all lives there is a gleam of hope. Even Dante could make very good poetry out of such a subject as hell. This ‘man” saw Christ. To see was better than not to_see. You believe there is such a person. This is better than deny- ing his personality. To know he lived is better than not to know. Then, though far off, he had the impression Jesus could help him. Thi better than thinking of Christ as an enemy. You believe he loved men. This is better than sneering at reli- gion, seeing no God in nature and no Son of God in histo “Thirdly, this man changed his posi- He ran to Christ. What was hi ? Murder, verhaps. His motive has little to do with his finding Christ. Many a man has made a rush to destroy Christ and in that rush become Christ’s friend. We can never tell how things are going to turn out when God has anymiug to do with them. Then he worshipe Christ. The worship could not be so in- telligent as that of the apostles, but Christ accepted it. He saw the madman coming and was ready to receive him. Sometimes kindness tames the mad. - Jesus accepts when we give the best we have and do the best we can. Oh, wasted life! Oh, broken heart! Oh, my God, can it be true or am I dreaming? The Father’s arms are around me, and there is the happy essence of a thousand kis in that one imprinted on the man’s rough cheek.” At the close of the sermon the rite of WuEerever good health abounds good food predominates. Perfect food is made with Dr. Price’s Baking Powder. Mr. Hawthorne Was Satisfied. thaniel Hawthorne wasa kind-hearted man as well as a great novelist. While he was consul at Liverpool a young Yankee walked into his office. The boy had left home to seek his fortune, but ‘evidently had not found it_yet, although he had crossed the sea in search. Homesick, friendless, nearly penniless, he wanted a passage home. The clerk said that Mr. awthorne could not be seen and inti- mated that the boy was not an American, but was trying to steal a passage. The boy stuck to his point, and the clerk at last went to the little Toom and said to Mr. Hawthorne: “Here's a boy who insists upon seeing He says "he's an American, but { he isn’t.” vihorne came out of the room and ed keenly at the eager, raddy face of the boy. “You want a passage to America?” “Yes, sir.” “From what part of America?” “United States, sir,’ “What State? . “New Hampshire, sir.” “Town?" “Exeter, sir. Hawthorne looked at him for a minute before asking him the next question. “Who sold the best apples in your town?” “Skimmilk Folsom, sir,”” said the boy, with glistening eyes, asthe old familiar byword brought up the dear old scenes of home. “It’s all right, sir,” said Hawthorne to the clerk, “give him a passage.”’—Detroit Free Pres: ———— The Order of the Templars was founded in 1119, ) LATEST SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.
