She had come from school and carried her books under her arm. 3 “I'm afraid to go home,” said she to Sec- retary McComb, to whom she was brought. “My teacher's name is Garland, and this week I made a poor record at school. My papa said if I did not have a good record card he would whip me. I made a poor average on account of bad spelling. I was afraid to go home and made up my mind to run away rather than go home and get a beating.” 2 Police Officer Wells conducted the girl to her home, at 635 Jessie street, where her father, Charles Borgwardt, resides. He stated that the child’s story was an inven- tion, and that the only threat made if the | child did not make a good record at school was that she would not receive a sugar Easter egg. The pros})ert of losing this had alarmed Rosie, with the result stated. Miss Nava Charges Her Mother With | Cruelty. A case of barbarous cruelty was reported | to Secretary McComb yesterday by Mrs. | Fairchild, principal of the Garfield School. The victim of her mother’s alleged cruelty is a 12-year-old girl, living with her parents | at 481 Union street. Mrs. Fairchild reported that the girl | came to school on Friday with her clothes covered with blood, which flowed from several cuts upon her head. The girl said, | in response to a question, that she had been beaten by her mother with a piece of wood. According to Mrs. Fairchild this is not the first time that the girl has come to 1 in a badly bruised condition. On 1 occasions she went to school in a amished state, and was forced to beg food from her companions and teachers. The girl’s father is Antonio Nav He is | & contractor scavenger, and is said to be | quite wealthy. The neighbors informed Officer Wells, whoisinvestigating the case, | that he has treated his daughter with uni- | form kindness. Mrs. Nayva, however, was | accused of cruelty toward the girl. It is likely that Mrs. Nava will be called upon to explain her conduct to Secretary Mc- Comb to-morrow. WILL BUILD BY THe BAY, | The Southern Pacific Prepar- ing Surveys for the Route. Condemnation Suits Against LandZ | Owners Along the Line to 1 Be Commenced. | The Law Department of the Southern | Pacific Railway Company has in prepara- tion a number of condemnation suits, | which are to be filed against owners of |land between South San Francisco and | Baden. | At the same time a corps of en- gineers is in the field making surveys | and leveling for a railroad over the new right of way from a point about half a | mile north of the Baden slaughter-houses | to'the Potrero. The proposition is to condemn land that lies within the lines of the proposed bay- e road that cannot be purchased by the y. For some years past the South- c has been quietly buying real estate in small and large lots through the | Potrero and South San Francisco through i agents with the object of owning a contin- { uous double track in a direct’line from | Fourth and Townsend streets to San Ma- | teo County. In many places the agents could not acquire land along this line, and | now an effort will be made in court to con- | demn the property for railroad uses. The route has been surveyed for some years, but final surveys for engineering are now being run over the ground. There will bea tunnel atthe county boundary line, entering about 100 yards west.of the San Bruno road on the south, and openin, into the flat land near the end of Railroad avenue. Another tunnel will be necessary under_the hill on which the South San Francisco Orphan Asylum stands. | Chief Engineer Hood of the Southern Pacitic Company would not discuss the question, but he said that nothing unusual was going on along the route mentioned. He stated positively that any work in his | office had nothing to do with the valley n G. Culver. road. ’ From an official of the company it was LR | learned that the bay shore road will be ; | built without delay, so that it shall be fin- O | ished simultaneously with the coast line through Santa Barbara to Los Angeles.

FLORAL EXHIBITION. A Paper Read by Dr. Behr on *‘The ‘Wild Flowers of Cali- fornia.”” The regular monthly meeting of the State Floral Society was held Friday after- noon. Two hundred and twenty-five va- rieties of wild flowers were on exhibition, their exquisite coloring and dainty wild- wood perfume goirg far toward proving that the California wild flower is far from becoming extinct. Their friends are legion. as was proved by the crowded par- lors, where standing was at par. Most noticeable among the lovely dis- play were the golden poppies. The culti- vated poppy was there, too, in all the del- icate tints down to pale cream. The walls and tables were covered with columbine, larkspur, . popcorn flower, baby blue eyes, iris, bleeding-heart, wake Tobin, thistles, shepherd’s purse, lupines, dog-tooth violets, smilax, California lilac, mallow, mustard, Western wallflower and others too numerous to mention. ' Carl Purdy of Ukiah sent choice varieties and will continue sending flowers to each meeting during the season. Mrs. H. A. Cross gave a beautiful cut- glass vase as a prize to the best exhibit of wild flowers, which was won by Miss Ella F. Baily. Dr. lf. H. Behrread a very interesting paper on wild flowers of California and Australia. The society of which E. J. Wickson of Berkeley is president will give a rose show in the maple room of the Palace Hotel on the 2d, 3d and 4th of May. HAS AN IMAGINATION. ‘Why an Eight-Year-0Old Girl Refused to Go Home. Although only eight years of age little Rosie Borgwardt of 635 Jessie street pos- sesses an imagination which, if directed in proper channels, may make her famous. Rosie was found wandering about the | much a similar manner to the first and | second days of the feast. Services will be held this evening at 5:30 o’clock in the Temple Emanu-El and Sherith Israel and Beth Israel synagogues. They will be con- tinued at 10:30 o’clock to-morrow morning, | when sermons will be delivered by Rabbis Voorsanger, Nieto and Levy at their re- spective places of worship. The Congre- ations Sherith Israel and Beth Israel eing orthodox in matters religious will also observe Tuesday, the eighth day of the festival. The ‘‘reform’” ~ Congregation Emanu-El takes no cognizance of this day. At the termination of the festival at 5:30 o'clock on Tuesday all Hebrews are per- mitted to indulge in the various leavened articles of diet which have been strictly prohibited during the Passover. MISSING TWO WEEKS, Unaccountable Disappearance of Young Edgar Camp. - Edgar Camp, a 14-year-old boy living at 30 Geneva street, is missing. He disap- peared from home about two weeks ago, and has not been seen since. The parents of the lad are greatly dis- tressed over the occurrence and are unable to account for their son’s absence. He was an orderly boy, studious and obedient. He seldom went out after dark, and his associations were of the best. The matter has been placed in the hands of the police. Edgar is described as hav- ing dark hair and eyes, and is tall and slim. One of his eyes has a cast, and he has a habit of rubbing it almost contin- ually. * THE McKENZIE OONOERT.

FIRST FRUITS OF STEVENSON'S GENIUS. Charles Baxter, the executor of Robert Louis Stevenson, has brought from Samoa all the manuscripts left by the great novelist. Two of these, written twenty years ago, he has kindly permitted the “Call” to present to its readers. They have never been published before. One of them is herewith reproduced in facsimile. Stevenson was only 25 years old when he penned these, and hence, while they give fine promise of that ripe brilliancy which was afterward developed, they must be regarded more as interesting literary curiosi- ties, associated with the unfolding of a splendid intellect, than as having any conspicuous intrinsic value. They give the first glimpses of a wise and genial cynicism, of sorrow, instead of disdain, for the mean and sordid commonplaces of herded intellects, and of a firm, calm, wholly self-contained and almost com-~ pletely isolated individuality; and these proved later to be the foundation upon which rested all the various manifestations of his genius. The iron of his father’s contempt and casting off never entered his wide and luminous soul. In his travels on a donkey, in his canoe voyage on the River Meuse, in his “Virginibus Pueresque,” in his “Garden of Child’s Verse,” his pen went its own free, straight way, un- embittered by suffering and never discouraged by neglect. That he must have felt himself standing on a high eminence, from which his kindly glance fell affectionately upon the world beneath him when it was not fixed upon the stars, we are not permitted to doubt; and yet in all the work that he has left to humanity there is not the slightest tinge of superciliousness, of scorn or of disdain; and that is the measure of greatness in its noblest form. It is this quality that these small compositions herewith presented show prominently enough. Still later he was to write, in somewhat a similar vein, “Will o’ the Mill,” that finest and most pathetic short story in the English language; and still later, “Markheim,” the gloomiest, profoundest, most hopeless of tragedies.

I cannot go into sermon; memories ache too hard; and so I bide out under the blue heavens, beside the small kirk whelmed in leaves. Tittering country girls see me as I go past from where they sit in the pews, and through the open door comes the loud psalm and the fervent, solitary voice of the preacher. To and fro I wander among the graves, and now look over one side of the platform, and see the sunlit meadow where the grown lambs go bleating and the ewes lie in the shadow under their heaped fleeces; and now over the other, where the rhodo- dendrons flower far down among the chestnut boles and far overhead the chestnut lifts its thick leaves and spiry blossom into the dark-blue air. Oh, the height and depth and thickness of the chestnut foliage! Oh, to have wings like a dove, and dwell in the tree’s green heart! A plague o’ these Sundays! How the church bells ring up the sleeping past! Here hasa maddening memory broken into my brain. To the door, to the door, with the naked lunatic thought! Once it is forth we may talk of what we dare not entertain; once the intruding thought has been put to the door I can watch it out of the loophole, where, with its fellows, it raves and threat- ens in poor dumb show. Years ago, when that thought was young, it was dearer to me than all others, and I would speak with it always when I had an hour alone. These rags that so dismally trick forth its madnesss were once the splendid livery my favor | wrought for it on my bed at night. Can you see the device on the badge? T dare not read it myself, yet have a guss—Und ware nicht—" Is not that the humor of it? A plague o’ these Sundays! How the church bells ring up the sleeping past! Little thought the old man, with the faint smile and wrinkled clothes, as he bent his stiff back over the bell rope and floated the loud slow notes over all the summer land. He | thought to gather the faithful by many a deep way lined with hawthorne blossom, where the still dust smoked about their church- ward feet. Little he thought that the strokes went abroad in my brain like a tocsin and summoned the black thoughts, which now beleaguer me in the strait citadel of self. Phantasmal belfries sound to me out of the past. Out of the silvery mist on time’s horizon float up the sorrowful, sweet, silver-throated bells; jangle the loud-mouthed, blatant Sunday bells. I have both been to church and stayed away from church in my time; sometimes in winter when the snow fell thickly, sometimes in summer on days as fair as this—down, damned thought! I would that the devil had torn out your tongue, oh, iron bell, or shattered the slated house, where you lurk all week in silence, down here in the place of trees. Oh, plague o’ these Sundays! How the church bells ring up the sleeping past! If I were a dove and dwelt in the monstrous chestnuts, where the bees murmur all day long about the flowers; if I were a sheep and lay on the field there under my comely fleece; if 1 were one of the quiet dead in this kirkyard—some homespun farmer dead for a long age, some dull hind who followed the plow and handled the sickle for three score years and ten in the distant past; if I wereanything but what I am, out here under the sultry noon, between the deep chestnuts, among the graves, where the fervent voice of the preacher comes to me, thin andsolitary, through the open windows; if I were what I was yesterday, and what, before God, I shall be again to-morrow, how should I outface these brazen memories, how live down this unclean resurrection of dead hopes! But to-day—a plague o’ these Sundays! The bells have awakened the sleeping past. June 2, 1875.

Dr. Herron Thinks This Nation Has Reached a Crisis. Christ’s Teachings Literally Fol- lowed Mean Absolute Co- operation. “The present social conditions of the world is anarchy. Business competition is war with all its horrors, and Christian- ity must shortly imbue with its principles the work-day world, ,or Christianity is doomed.” The foregoing is a portion of the creed of Professor George D. Herron, D.D., of the Towa University, who is to lecture at the Third Congregational Church every night next week on “The Political Coming of Christ”’ and *‘The Christian State.” The professor believes that the present plan of human existence is all wrong, and that competition is not a necessary con- dition, but that everything may be made right by the application to every phase of daily life of the teachings of Christ. These, when reduced to practical and general application, amount, he says, to absolute co-operation. As the adoption of Mr. Herron’s views would result in a direct reversal of existing conditions, he meets with considerable opposition in his mis- sion in life. Preachers and politicians especially op- resent political system of this connm{ is uilt on competition. He has been called anarchist, socialist, revolutionist, but in conversation he impresses one as being an earnest, conscientious worker, who may prove to be a prophet born too soon. He 1s staying at the Occidental Hotel. “‘The feeling of unrest and dissatisfaction with the existing order of things, which I find everywhere in this country and which is common to all the countries of the earth to-day, leads me to believe that we have reached one of those periods when history takes a short cut, when the world lives more in a hundred years than it bad be- fore in a thousand. Such a period was the Reformation with_its horrors. Such was the time of the Roundhead wars under Cromwell and the American and French revolutions. The idea thus emphasized was liberty—religious liberty in the Refor- ‘lapuion. political liberty in those revolu- ons. “Now, however, we have carried liberty too far and it has become license. To-day the plan of life is every man for himself. Competition in business has become war with all its horrors. Yes, war with all its horrors; and you will a§rae with me when you think of the people in winter who can- not get fuel enough to keep them warm because of some Reading coal combine. ‘We have learned the lesson of liberty, but must now learn the lesson of co-operation. “The feeling of unrest was one of the main causes of the war between Japanand China. The Japanese peasants wereready to revolt, and war was a necessity. In the United States I believe this feeling por- tends a revolution more terrible than the French revolution of 1793. A great war may avert it for a time, but it will only be the more terrible wien it does come. It may, however, be averted altogether, and | _“The only alternatives for the United States are ‘a terrible revolution or the adoption of the principles of Christianity as practically applied to every walk of life. Christianity isnot a sentiment. The king- dom of God, wherever the expression is used in the Bible, refers to a kingdom on this earth, not to the hereafter. The min- isters to-day are making a mistake. They are too busy helping men safely out of this life to assist in establishing the king- dom of God on this earth. They do not follow the teachings of Christ, for they are not co-operative, but competitive. The church is split into a thousand hostile sects and its power destroyed. Its pastors dwell too much on the points where they differ and too little on those where they agree, and of all warfare theological war- fare is the most bitter. The so-called church population of the country must be converted from nominal to actual Chris- tianity. ‘*Christ came notjto take men out of the world, but to set right the affairs of the world. His teachings provide, I believe, for every contingency, but if they were ap- plied they woul result in a complete re- versal of existing conditions. ‘Help one another’ would be the rule instead of com- petition. 5 “I have been called a socialist. I do not refuse the name, but I am not one of those who want to_divide up everything and start afresh. I belong rather to a school of Christian socialistic ghilosoph , and I be- lieve that if the teachings of Christ were actually carried out the result would be absolute co-operation.” —————— Piies!
