The meeting next Thursday evening is one of a series of regular weekly gatherings, arranged as a continuation of the recent evangelistic campaign, and is in charge of the Rev. Dwight E. Potter, pastor of the Union Stree: Presbyterian church, the Rev. J. C.| Bolster, pastor of the Chester Street M. E. church, and the Rev. H. F.

There will be no sentiment and no abuse of any one. It is not our pur- | pose to discuss the question from a f ministerial standpoint.” | A series of questions has been pre- | pared by those in charge, for discus- | sion at the meeting, and people inter- to send in answers by mail —_——— Judge Hall Congratulated.

We five Judges In the Governor's home county agreed to make no fight for | the position, but to allow our names to go before him without indorsement | of any kind and we all stuck to ouri Coming in the way it has, I am delighted.” There was some question whether the appointment had not disqualified Judge Hall from proceeding with the hearing of a case before him and it was continued to-day until the matter could be looked into. By a stipula- tion, however, it was agreed that ne should finish the hearing to-morrow and the case will proceed until fin- ished before him. TELLS OF DISCOVERIES. BERKELEY, April 11.—Professor C. D. Perrine, the astronomer at Lick Observatory, who discovered the sixth and seventh satellites of Jupiter, lec- tured to-night at the students’ ob- servatory of the University of Cali- fornia on his notable astro- nomical work. Professor Perrine ex- plained the methods employed in the discovery, in searching for the satellites and verifying the work. The | value consisted not in the novelty of the discovery, but in the splendid data obtained to carry on astronomi- cal investigations, said the lecturer. The satellites were, at one time, part of planetary systems, continued Pro- fessor Perrine. The discovery was not an accident, but the result of systematic research. It conld not have been accomplished before the Crossley reflector was in- stalled last November at Lick Obser- vatory. The satellites were found by photography. Night after night successive plates were made of the re- gion about Jupiter, careful compari- sons of the negatives being made, to- gether with careful and elaborn.tel mathematical demonstrations. The diameter of the sixth satellite is about | 100 miles, that of the seventh being j less than thirty-five miles. Professor ! Perrine illustrated his lecture with stereopticon slides. R !

Lawrence became alarmed and to- day swore to the complaint for his ar- rest. The Lawrences have lived unhappily for a long time.
