Bane Preaches Ser- mon on Dangers That Beset Women Advised Not to Marry | Those They Find Are Addict- | ed to Use of Strong Liquor S ‘B That Beset Young Men” was theme of a powerful sermon deliv- i last evening by Rev. A. C. Bane to congregation at the Howard eet Methodist Episcopal Church at wvard and Third streets. In speak- om the subject, Rev. Dr. Bane said at the most important attribute of a ing man was character and that it was the duty of all to help in forming good character in young men and hin- dering evil influences. The reverend speaker said that the future home, state and church de- pended on the character of the present generation and that the conduct of a man at the age of 21 indicated his path in after li Rev. Dr. Bane claimed that the young men of to-day had far better advantages than were possessed by their parents and that they should iarge reach a higher plane in consequence and should be better and more useful men. The speaker then dwelt n the many advantages posses by voung men to-day and compared them with the evils that exist and menace the fu- ture. The young men were warned by Dr. Bane to beware the spirit of consid- ering parents as and not old fogies” ilstening to their counsels. e declared | that the spirit of self-conceit was to be deplored and urged all young men to heed the advice of their parents and elders WARNING TO YOUNG ME} Another peril pointed out was that of being iight and frivolous and ignoring thought and seriousness. The speaker said that the tendency of the age was to be thoughtless iting in lack of character. Dr. Bane then spoke on the Jung men to-neglect read- ivation of t r minds of children into busi for need but for greed pointed out yung men and he said it ive within one’s income to emulate others by ex- great gance. speaker then warned young men of the danger of becoming secular and ignoring religious spirit and thought He said that € man who gave all his thoughts to business was but a mere machine and that it was the duty of man.to give equal time to God, as well as to his work. Continuing his subject, Rev. Dr. Bane declared that it was not manly for young men to consider re nly act was to | to speak of or to presence of those who did not believe. of setting up one moral standard business and another for religion. He said that the man who was a thief and a robber in business and who went to church was a hypocrite, DANGER OF INTOXICATION. After dwelling on the peril to young men who lacked backbone to stand up | for what is right and denounce what is | wrong, Rev. Dr. Bane dwelt upon the peril of intoxication. this danger the divine declared that the man who first started as a soclal drink- er became a tippler, and then a drunk- ard. “Intoxicating drink,” said Dr. Bane, “Is a poison to life, and it is filled with drugs that create an appetite for ft. It is an awful peril to the young men of to-day, for it blasts and ruins thousands of lives. “And to the young women I say, never marry a man who drinks intoxi- cating liquors. The man who courts you and who drinks liquor will get drunk after you marry him. Never link your | lives with such men. If he drinks liquor | he does not know the peril he is in, and | you do not know the peril that menaces | ¥ou If you marry such & man. In five | years he may be a common drunkard, land you will be a drunkard’s wife and | in rags and misery. {man is courting you and you smell | liguor on his breath, show your woman- hood and tell him that either he must | give up drinking or you will give him lup. If you don’t, and you marry such & man, you will rue the day when you i become & common drunkard’s wife—the | most pitiful of all objects. | “Don’t think, young women, that you | can reform a drinking man after mar- | riage. If he won't give up intoxicating | rink when he is courting you, he won't | | glve it up when you are married to H him.” L .MUSE LEAD‘ PURE LIVES. ! Rev. Dr. Bane then dwelt on the dan- | ger of young men Jeading unclean lives and using unclean words. He warned | young men that lust is slaying tens of thousands, and urged that all should | lead chaste and pure lives and refrain from the use of unclean language. |, “Don't say of another woman,” said | the speaker, “what you would not like | to hear about your own sister. “There is nothing so helpful to a | young man as purity, and nothing com- | mends or lifts up or brings us nearer | to God like clean lives. Make up your | minds to have the best of this world {and the world to come. ‘The truest man in the world is the | true Christian man, and you need { Christ in order to lead an upright life, Be a Christian first, and you will have no trouble to fight the perils that beset the young men of to-day —_————— Funeral of John 8.

(ST ESCAPES BOLT OF DEATH Electric Flash = Leaps From Switchboaird With Sharp Re- port, Enveloping Philip Spalt e En 2 AN Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 1118 Broadway, Dec. 13. There was a blinding flash, a sharp, crackling report, and when Philip Spalt, the switchboard man of the Oakland Gas, Light and Heat Company at their electric plant at the foot of Jefferson street, recovered consciousness he was on the ope::‘ing table of the Receiv- ing Hospital, horribly burned. Spalt was working at the switchboard in the regular discharge of his duty, { when he was felled by a shock that al- most cost him his life. How it oc- curred he does not Kknow. He says that just as he reached for one of the switches of the board there was | | the snapping, crackling sound and the blinding light of an electric arc flash, and he knew no more until he found himself under the care of doctors at the hospital. It is believed that Spalt's clothing was damp from the drizzling rain out- side, and that there must have been maisture on his hands, so that when he touched the switch the current sped through his body. That he escaped death is considered remarkable, for through this switchboard passes the heavy current from the main line of the Bay Counties Power Compary from Colegate, with a register of LS,OBQ volts. Spalt had his left arm burned to the elbow and his chest and face scorched. He will be confined to his home, 677 Twenty-sixth street, for some time.

The University of California has se- cured for a lecturer at the next summer | session Sir William Ramsay of London, Ilhe first chemist in England and who | vies with Dr. Wilhelm Ostwald of Ger- | many for the distinction of being called | the greatest chemist. 8ir Willliam will come to California in ! June next and lecture throughout the | summer session, which will extend from June 2 to August 7. The theme of his lectures will be problem now before the chemists of the world—the phenomena of radio-activity, which have thrown doubt on so many of the old theories as to the perma- | nency of the elements and the essential nature of matter. There will also be | discussions on the gases of the air, of | which 8ir William is the discoverer ofa | number. In accepting the invitation of President Wheeler to the university Sir William says: tivity is absorbing my attention. Mr. Soddy, my coadjutor, and I have al- ready obtained very remarkable results of what we may regard as transmuta- tion—the changing of a gas evolved | from radium salts into helium. I think | that as a subject of lectures the ex- | ploration of the gases of the atmos- phere might prove interesting and | novel.” The revelation of a.number of gases in the air whose presence had never be- | fore been suspected contributed much | to the fame of Sir William. The first | of these was argon, which he discovered {in collaboration with Lord Rayleigh. | Subsequently he revealed atmospheric | elements which have been named neon, | krypton and Xenon, and, lastly, the ele- ment of helium, which in relation with | radium has proved so mysterious and | astonishing. Sir Willlam Ramsay has been pro- | fessor of chemistry in the University | College, London, since 1887, having pre- | viously been in the department of chemistry at the Glasgow University { from 1874 to 1880, and professor tol.

State authorizing the use of ballot | machines, the stockholders expected that Ellis would immediately take steps to bring his machine to the notice of the commission, but, so far, he has made no effort in that direc- tion, and the members of the company are anxious to know the reason for his apparent indifference to their ine terests.

That the company contemplates | doing something is manifest from the | fact that its agents have been count- 1’"‘ the number of passengers who travel on the Southern Pacific trains | between Lorin and Berryman stations, iapparenlly for the purpose of ascer- taining how many people ride free that distance or part of it every day. It is a fact that a good many peo- ple impose on the old company by ac- f cepting free rides on its trains through | town and then paying on the new line | when they want to go to San Fran- | cisco. The only way the old company can prevent this imposition is to put | on gates and charge fares between sta- tions, just as its rival does. Still, none | of the company's officials will admit that it is about to do anything radical and things are going along In pretty much the same old way. “We are collecting data for infor- mation,” said W. S. Palmer, division superintendent for the Southern Pa- cific Company, to-day when asked if { the counting of passengers meant gates. “It is all for the future. | Whether we will charge fares Is a | matter to be determined later.” That there has been a great falling | oft in the Southern Pacific’s business is evident from the fact that while the evening trains used to consist of nine and ten cars, which were filled with passengers and drawn by two engines, there are now only five cars, with one engine, and these cars are only half full. There has, of course, been a cor- responding increase in the traffic of the new line, whese cars are filled in the early morning and evening hours to their capacity. — e The Conscientious Citizen. “This conscience doth mak: cowards | of us all,” said the thoughtful and sanctimonious citizen as he stepped off | of a Druid Hill car.
