HOME FROM GUATEMALA. | Return to San Francisco of George W. Phelps and Henry Marshall. | George W. Phelps, who resigned the po- sition of trainmaster on the Coast Division of the Southern Pacific last June, to ac- cept the superintendency of the Occidental Railroad, from Champerico to San Felipe, Guatemala, returned from that country on the City of Sydney. Henry Marshall, who subsequently went to Guatemala and be- came general ticket agent of the Occidental road, has also returned. The fevers, the daily fare and the discomforts of life in that region impeiled them to abandon the plan of permanent residencein Guatemala. The road which Mr. Phelps superintended seems to be good property, according to him. TIts net earnings during the past year exceeded $200,000, amounting to nearly 100 per cent. The length of the road is forty- two miles. The equipment consists of Baldwin engines and cars manufactured in California. "The country traversed by the road is beautiful throuchout. Forests, streams and cultivated plantations lend a picturesque charm to the region. Mr. Phelps brought home many speci mens of Mexican and Guatemalan pottery, to be given to_friends.. He also brought a machete for Nat Brittan. While Mr. Phelps_received a munificent salary as compensation is there calculated, | he was compelled to pay $400 in silver for $200 of exchange payable in gold. The planters in Guatemala make considerable profit in raising coffee. They pay for the labor of cultivation in silver and sell the THE ATLANTA EXPOSITION. - J. A. Filcher Writes That It Will Be Among the Best Ever Held. FOR CALIFORNIA PRODUCTS. | Great Interest Manifested by All { in the Exhibit From the Golden West. J. A. Filcher, secretary of the California State Board of Trade, went to Atlanta, Ga., a few weeks ago to look after the California exhibit that has been sent by the counties in charge of the Board of Trade. The ex- hibit is being placed in one of the best po- sitions in the Manufactures and Liberal Arts building, and according to a letter re- ceived yesterday by Tue CarLn from Mr. Filcher, the products of this State are al- ready attracting much attention. Mr. Filcher writes as follows from At- lanta: \ Editor Call, San Francisco: The magnitude of .the Atlanta Exposition cannot be realized ex- cept by those on the ground.

Tht HICHWUISTHIET. | Cemeteries and Bay Distr‘lct Tract Still Bones of Con- tention. | posed of Property-Owners Only, to Be Formed. | The graveyard or the racetrack? Shall the former give way to the latter? These questions are left for the citizens of the Richmond district to answer. That part over these questions for more than a year. The facts seem ‘to be that a large and very respectable element of the citizens of the” Richmond district.are and .for some time past have been actively in favor of the removal of the cemeteries, which for- merly marked the boundaries of the City in that direction. The Bay District racetrack continues to be a bone of contention among the citizens of | Richmond. One faction wants the cemeteries re- moved: while others are indifferent. A very large number of property-owners be- | yond _the racetrack want the streets | opened up through that portion of the | City, while an almost equal number of the | people living there desire the racetrack to remain, claiming that it affords a source of income. | The factions have been heretofore push- | ing their views before various organiza- | tions formed for that purpose. Charles H. | Hubbs, who bas been working with a number of others in favor of retaining the racetrack, has favored the removal of the | cemeteries. The people favoring the re- | tention of the cemeteries, among whom may be mentioned George R. Fletcher, argue that if it be in any sense necessary | for the cemeteries to go, the same rea- | sons should apply with equal force to the | racetrack. | Fletcher succeeded in pulling over to | his side a sufficient number of the race- track men to nullify any action being taken |in_the Richmond Improvement Asspci- | ation against the cemeteries. | Hubbs took umbrage at the action of the men of the racecourse in this matter and resigned his position as president of that organization. J. H.Bond, editor of the Richmond Ban- | be formed ‘in the near future, through which the real sentiment of the Empen - owners of the district would be made known on these important questions. “It is rumored,”” he said, “that none but property-owners will be eligible to mem bership in the new club.” By this means the citizens hope to ar- rive at some plan of action by which the interests of that section of the City may be expressed. It is expected that this new organization will have for its central idea the removal of the cemeteries, but the re- < ot iThe Blues?” HAVE YOU | tention of the racetrack. Indigestion way.

This show will rival the Columbian Exposition in its at- tractive features, and will only be second to |it in point of size. A great many European | countries, including France, Austria, Belgium, | England, and I don’t know how many others, are putting up fine_exhibits here, and Me: and nearly all the Central and South American republics will be represented. New York, Pennsylve~‘a, Illinois, Missouri, Arkansas, and othe. listant States have buildings of their own, and most of the Soutbern States, of course, are here in good shape. 5 | The United States Government building is not quite o large as the one at Ohicago, but | the gentleman in charge tells me the exhibit will be just as fine, though not quite so exten- ive. The Forestry building, the Machinery Hall, the Mining building, the Electrical build ing, the Manufactures building, the Agric! | tural building, the Art building, the Women's buiiding, the Administration building, the | Negro building, and, indeed, all the exposi- | tion buildings, are fine, showy and well-built structures. The very low rate ot 1 cent & mile offered by the Southern railroads is sure toinduce a large attendance, and if the people of Atlanta will come down from their expectation of making a | fortune from roomers and boarders during the show the people who come will stay awhile | and swell the daily attendance. Chicago went nearly wiid in anticipation of prices for rooms and board which were never realized, and it is | safe to predict that Atlanta will have the same experience. - All over town people are brush- ing up and putting their spare rooms in order in the hope of reaping therefrom & few nimble pennies, and new hotels are going up on all sides. One was started yesterday which is to contain 100 rooms, and it is within a block of four or five others of equal capacity that are in various stages of construetion. They ask now from $1 to $5 a day for a room alone, but I predict before the falr has been open two weeks they will be asking visitors to take those same rooms at less than half these rates. Rates, like every- thing else, will adjust themselves according to circumstances, and when it goes out that a person can live here very nearly as chesply as he cen at home the low railroad rate is sure to induce & very lazge attendance. California hes little to fear from such peaches as 1 have yet seen in Georgia, and the time and place for our State to make a show of its prod- ucts 18 altogether opportune. The State Board of Trede certainly deserves great credit for | coming to the front at a eritical time and un- | derteking this work, and the people and coun- ties of California should see that it is relieved | at once of the embarrassment of being ham- pered for means to do our State credit, The California-State exhibit here is in the best space in one of the best buildings on the i ground and all the other exhibitors in tne uilding are delighted that California is so near them, as to use their own words, “‘a show of California_products is always a great at- traction.” The material on the way here is in quality and variety all that could ‘be de- sired and it will be arranged in the most at- tractive form possible with the means at hand. 1 wish THE CALL would take up the fight for more money for this exhibit, assuring the peo- ple, as it safely can, that !heg never had an opportunity to do more for the same money than can be done for the State at this Georgia | exposition. We ought to have more literature than we have and the opportunity for opening an apartment for demonstrating the proper methods of cooking our dried fruits should not be missed. If each county in the State would give its mite all this could be done and more and the benefits would return in time & hun- dred fold. The weather here at present is anything but agreeable. It rains almost every day, and the steam heat that rises from the ground after showers causes one’s collar and cuffs and body to wilt perceptibly. They say it is about time for the rains to cease and that it will be cooler in October. I hope so. There is much work to do here yet. The hammer and the saw can be heard on every side, and droves of men and mule teams are working on the drives and walks. Exhibits are coming in very fast and the rush jucreases with each passing day. Fifteen men are working in the California space, and though they take their time (skilled belp is not very pientiful here) they are mak- ing quite s Show. The decorators will be finished to-morrow barring some finishing touches that will have to be put on when. the exhibit is in place. It is now a settled fact that when the oneninf day comes the Califor- nia State exhibit will be as near ready for visitors as any other in the same building. J. A. FILCHER. TO SOUTEB AFRICAN MINES. R. M. Catlin, the Mining Engineer, Con- cludes an Important Contract. Within the past few days R. M. Catlin, a well-known miningengireer of this City, has conciuded a five-year contract with John Hayes Hammond, the consultin, engineer of the Consolidated Gold Fiel Company of South Africa (Limited). He leaves mnext Saturday for Johannesburg via London, where he will be permanently placed in charge of one of the large minthg properties now under Mr. Hammond’s management. 5 Mr. Catlin, who has for the last six years been the manager of large mines at Tusca~ rora, Nev., is the last of fifteen gentlemen of mining celebrity on this coast who have entered into contract with the Bouth African Company at very large salaries for a term of years. Among those who have already preceded him are W.T. St. Auburn, Harry ff ‘Webb, John Harrington, Thomas H. Leggett and Edwin H. Garthuist. Mr. (?ntlhl said last night: “The state- ments which I have received from reliable authorities as to the development of the South African gold mlan properties are simply marvelous, and if for the future the increase in the Froduction of gold keeps pace with that of the past, the record of Fyomh Africa asa go\dvbenrinr%counlry will make &n unequaled record in the world’s history. That the reports are reli- able i3 evidenced bythe increased favor with which the minin, progenies are regarded by -investors and by the large number of expvert men which are constantly being taken from positions of prominence, bot! here and abroad, to superintend in the management of the work there.” NEW TO-DAY—DRY GOODS.

Following is a summary of interesting | sermons delivered in the United States and Canada by the leading clergymen, priests, prelates, religious teachers and professors of the Christian faith. In every instance the full text has been care- fully edited, condensed and abbreviated. Political Campaigns. Long and bitter political agitations are not favorable to the development of moral and spiritaal virtues in the people, because they disturb the public mind. unbalance moral poise and equanimity and breed strife and hatred. Among the worst of these are class antipathies. Prejudices are developed between people in country and town, animosities which crop out even in religious gathering and make co-opera- tion in work for religious and educational enterprises difficult. Public opinion is un- settled and respect for law and order is broken down and the door opened in crime.—Rev. C. B. Gardener, Baptist, Greenville, 8. C. The Millenium. The millenium comes by slow stages, not suddenly; not by any immediate effort or purpose of man. It is the end of a very long and tedious process of evolution, the result of innumerable endeavors, parily intended, partly unconscious, to improve the conditions and readjust the relations of life. Any swift realization of the dreams of philanthropy would throw everything out of place and arrest the progress of man in all directions. Were ignorance abolished in any other way than by the gradual discovery of knowledge, knowledge would lose its value and the love of truth be quenched.—Rev. M. H, Harris, Universalist, Worcester, Mass. Suicide. ‘The suicide theory of curing earthly ills by ending life is fast becoming a matter of creed with many people. Does death end it all? It is quite the thing for ill health, business reverses and social trouble to offer an excuse to put an end to them all with the pistol, the knife or the rope. Human life is the most precious thing God ever created. A single life is worth a mil- lion worlds to God. In his infinite mercy he has made human life but the vestibule of eternal life. Lifeis_what all can have but none can give.—Rev. James K. Wil- liams, Methodist, Pittsburg, Pa. Hopelessness. The death of & hopeless man is the most agonizing thing in this world. I have stood on a ship when the storm seemed each moment about to engulf her; I have been on the battlefieid, where death was reaping a bloody harvest all around me; I have seen pestilence slaying its hundreds, and felt the earth trembling under me and heard the roar of internal disturbances, sending terror to the hearts of the bravest, but the moet horrible sight I know is to see the storm-tossed waves of hell mir- rored in the glazing eyes of a hopeless man.—Rev. Joseph H. Wilson, Charles- ton, 8. C. Universal Religion. The church is not doing its work when half the people never go near the church or care anything about it. Christianity was given tothe world to be a universal religion. 1t can become universal only by being accepted by all the people in so- called Christian countries at the same time that it is being carried to those nations which now are totally ignorant of it. If it is notaccepted by all the people there must be something wrong either with Christianity itself or with those who do not accept it or with those who do profess to accept it.— i’;{ev‘ A. W. Gross, Universalist, Boston, ass. Christianity. The life of the church is not altogether in harmony with the teachings of Chris- tianity. Too much luxury exists, and the church has drifted away from the people. It should come more in contact with them. We must have Christians who not only confess Christ, but prove their works by leading a good Christian life. Chris- | tianity is not meant to be applied to Sun- day only. It should prevail equally as forceful every day in both business and so- cial circles. The doctrines taught by Christ should be lived up to in reality. The mere profession of goodness and hon- esty has no right; they should be prac- ticed in daily life.—Rev. Rasmus Ander- son, Danish Church, Brooklyn, N. Y. Motherhood. Mary, the mother of Christ, had queenly qualities. She is not to be worshipped as a deity, but reverenced as a true mother. True queenship shows itself in a self-sacri- ficing disposition. What Mary was to Christ, as a_rule, all mothers are to their children. The goddess Diana was the rotector of innocence in womanhood. hy was this protector of innocence rep- resented as a woman? Because the mother is the obstacle between the destructive world and innocence. In America woman is seen everywhere as the Goddess of Lib- erty. Because America knows ;that the mothers instill into the minds of the children] principles that keep the Nation free.—Rev. Charles H. Elder, Methodist, Trenton, N. J. The Heart. The heart is the workshop of the life. Every act of the hand becomes moral be- cause the heart: stamps that act with motives. The heart determines the moral character_of all you consciously do, and you do right only when your heart is right in the particular act. The heart must be kept, it won’t keep itself. It must be presided over by the will, com- manded, ordered, controlled, . If one leaves it to follow impulse and moods it | will deteriorate in_itself and contaminate the very citadel it dwellsin. Keep it as you keep a %arden; by destroying the weeds and fostering the good seed.—Rev. J. H. Hartment, Baptist, Cleveland; Ohio. Men and Angels, There is greater dignity in being a man than in being an angel. His relations are nearer, and the dignity conferred on him is higher than that conferred on an angel. Hence, to be a man means being next to God himself. A man is not an imitation. A man is not a two-legged animal, as the Philosopher Plato once defined him; but a man is the friend of God, possessing the earth, inheriting heaven, crowned with glory and honor—one who thinks, reasons, acts and lives; conscious of destiny and conscious of immortality, which links him to the throne of God and makes him a joint heir with the Son of the Highest.— ev. W. L. Auston, Presbyterian, Balti- more, Md. Charity and Sympathy. There must be sympathy, love and com- panionship in all our gifts. There are hun- dreds and thousands rushing to darkness and doom for the want of a cheering word and the belief that some one cares for them, and for the want of that sympathy and love that might go even with the little gifts that we do give. People subscribe to funds to aid the poor in the slums, but they never go there themselves and see where their money goes. If those who are charitably inclined visited the poor in per- son and added words of sympathy, conso- lation and love to their other gifts there would be less misery in the slumsand a reat many more souls saved.— Rev. 6?. R. Perrett, Presbyterian, Clinton, N. Y. The Money Barons. The wealth of the few has increased so fast that there is talk of limiting itsac- quisition to a specified amount. geecher said we were coming to a reign of the com- mon people. It seemsto me that we are coming to a reign of the money barons. Men sit down and calculate whether it might not pay to buy a Legislature. Our fathers came over here to escape from ! tyrants, but the money tyrants bid fair to pecome almost as oppressive. The time is coming when every man will ask himself | whether he really and actually owns his own soul and body, and whether by legis- lation or in some other right way the power of the money tyrants cannot be overthrown.—Rev. J. M. Wallace, United Presbyterian, Pittsburg, Pa. If Chicago Came to Christ. There are a good many people who would feel lonesome if Chicago came to Christ. There are people who believe the city wouldn’t do business, that it would be a dead town. If Chicago should come to Christ she would bring more enterprise, more brain, more heart than has ever at one time. been given to our Lord. What would she leave behind? Sixty-five hun- dred saloons, 20,000 men who are directly engaged in the retail liquor business, but $85,000,000 would be saved annually to bless the homes. If Chicago should come to Christ gambling would be a thing of the past. If Chicago should come to Christ she would bring 20,000 women who grope shuddering at the gates of night. Each year it is estimated that 4000 girls and women die in this city as the results of dissipation and sin. Their coffins, allowing six feet for each, would make a continuous line for four and a half miles. Of course, if Chicago should come to Christ she would save this sorrow, crime and death.—Rev. W. M. Smith,Chicago, Ill. 0UT OF TOWN PERSONALS. Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 10.—Miss Bertie Phelpsis visiting Oakland friends. Mr. and Mrs. George King have returned from Europe.
