AN INCREASING CONVICTION. But though we are not allowed and do not need to satisfy ourselves ruliy and experiment- | ally in these matters, we certalnly must recog-. | nize that good, -though not unmixed with evil, | has ceme frcm the interesc of others in them. d this In two ways: first, in the increasing ctirn among intelligent men of the im- e lity of the soui; seconaly, In the with- drawal of the objections made 1o the miracu- | 1ous evidences of religion. 'Men are more and { wore prepared every day to acknowledge that spiritual forces are operating in the world, and | they are perfectiy competent to produce effects | entirely impossible for merely material ones, and that they override and superseds, though 1ot necessarily suspend, the operation of what ) are called hatural laws. In short, the world is becoming ‘convinced that miracles are possible. Later we may hope that it will recognize the dictinction, long familiar to the church, between those that come from a good and from an evil source. And to aid in the removal of eo-called scle itfic objections to religion, we should also rec ogalze gladly that scientific men are being com- pelied of late to confess that they do not know so much ‘en_about the material world § com and its laws as they ‘thought they did ot long . y are beginning to see-that -‘ml y on the threshold, and ‘have hardly are yet opened the door to its imysteries. £ cent discoveries, particularly in regard to ra- aium, sre compelling eclence to start almost afresh in_theorizing as to the constitution of matter.

Oxby gave up her life. Both she and the dog were struck by. the car, run over.and horribly mangled. When found the headless body of the dog was clasped to the breast of its | mistress, showing that even when the car wheels passed over her, mashing her limbs and head into a shapeless | mass of flesh, she had clung desperately to the dog. Mrs. Oxby was en route to the home of a neighbor and was walking along the Mission road, near the County Hos- pital. She started across the street. but stopped when she saw a car of the Gar- vanza line of the Pacific Electric Rail- way approaching. Her dog, a spaniel, ran ahead of her and- stopped on the track. She called to it, but it only turned. Then she jumped to save her pet and in doing so fell in front of the | car. She had managed to grasp the dog's curly hair and held on. upon her before it could be' stopped and she was instantly killed.

Three hundred ‘Knights compose. the local re- | ception committee. - All incoming trains | bearings Knights and their friends are met at the depots day and night and the visitors escorted to their hotels. Because of a disarrangement of rail- road schedules it i5 impossible to say at. what hour the many delegations now ou their way here from the East on special trains will arrive. The New York City delegation of 250 and the Buffalo party of 150 on two | special trains are expected to reach here some time to-morow afternoon be- tween five and cight o'clock. The large delegations from Cleveland and St Louis are also, expected. to-morrow. Five hundred are coming to-morrow from San Francisco by boat to Port Los Angeles. £ Supreme Knight Edward L. Hearn is on his way here over the Salt Lake road from Salt Lake City. He is ex- pected to arrive at 10:30 this morning. A portion of the local reception com- mittee and prominent officials of the order will go by special train to San Bernardino to meet his train there and escort him to the city. The first business meeting of the order will be held Tuesday at the An- gelus Hotel. To-morrow will go to Long Beach and in the eve- ning the Chamber of Commerce will ac- cord them a public reception. A total of not less than 15,000 visitors is ex- pected in the city by Wednesday. The convention will last one week, but there will be but few business sessions. The election of national officers is the chief- work before the order at this meeting. The remainder of the time will be given over to receptions, ban- q@®ts and exemplification of the work of the order. Mme. Modjeska and a corps of ladies are statloned at the Hotel Lankershim, | where th are welcoming the women in the excursion parties. To-morrow after- noon Mmc. Modjeska, Sir Knight James R. Randall, the author of ““Maryland, My Maryland,” and other famous Southern songs, will be guests of honor at a tea given by the Ebell Club at 3 o'clock. | It is expected that Archbishop Mont- | gomery will arrive in this city in the morning. Already there are many prom- inent clergymen here, and ‘this number will be largely increased during the day. i AR VISIT BIG TREE GROVE. Buffalo Koights of Columbus View Cal- iforeia Forest Glants. SANTA CRUZ, June 4.—About 200 Knights of Columbus from , Buffalo, en route to Los Angeles, arrived here on a special train this morning.

Council fixing the saloen license rate at a higher figure than has cver heen paid here or in this part of the State. It is certain that the rate will be not ‘less .than $1300 per year and it may ‘g0’ as: high as $3000. It is con- sidered -probable that it finaly will be fixed at between $2000 and $2400. The present rate is $900- per vear. The immediate effect of the high rate is expected to be the elimination of the cheap, tough “joints” which are fre- quented by hobos and criminals of the “yegg type. Anether feature of the | proposed.ordinance will be a provision making (it mandatory to fevoke a li- cense upon. conviction of its holder of | having violated any of the provisions of the ordinance. There are now 200 salons in Los An- geles and it is believed that the high license -will .drive ncarly half of them out of business. FILE ARTICLES "IN KERN COUNTY LOS ANGELES, June 4—A spedal from Bakersfield, Cal, says A certified copy of the articles of in- corporation of the Nevada and Cali- fornia Railway have been filed with the County Clerk of Kern County.

L.OS ' ANGELES, June 4—“For God's sake dom’t let them take me back to Mex- ico. They’ll kill me sure. That's what u:’g want to do. with me.” us spoke Antonio Felix when in- formed that the Mexican Government has instituted ‘formal’ ‘proceedings in the United States court here to have him sur- | rendered to the authorities of Lower Cali- fornia, presumably to be tried on a charge of felony. Felix Is now serving | a_sentence imposed by the United States District Court for smuggling horses across the Mexican border, and another similar charge against him is yet to be tried. - The ‘prisoner' does not care how long he remains in jall, but the thought of ‘being taken baek into a Mexican State fills &im with terror. “Felix,- vears ago., was Governor of Lower California, having filled out the unexpired term of a man who died in office. Subsequently ‘Wie met with mis- fortune and lost whatever following he may have had. Drifting from bad to worse, he finally became a member of a band of smugglers and thieves which infested the berder and which carried on an illegal trade in Chinese and horses, until nearly all of them. were captured. Felix was one of the last to be taken and he was promptly convicted. CHARGE IS SERIOUS. The charge upon which the Mexican Government is desirous of trying him is not that of smuggling horses or stealing. It is a much mere serious matter. He bas been formally indicted in a Mexican court for..having kidnaped a murderer who was much wanted by the Los An- geleg officers, tying him to a horse and bringing - him across the boundary line not far'from £an Diego and there placing him where he knew the Los Angeles offi- cers would find him. Antonip Martinez is the name of the man_ Felix is alleged to have kidnaped. He killed a rival in a love affalr at Santa Monica Canon. six years ago and es- caped to Mexico. He had relatives high in-:official : life -in Lower California, and all efforts to secure his capture failed, the invariable answer of the Mexican offi- clals being that the man could not be found. Lost November Detective F. J. Tala- mantes of the Los- Angeles Police De- partment went to Ensenada and there learned where the murderer was em- | ployed. Less than two weeks later Mar- tinez was arrested, on the American side of the border by Chief of Police Ham- mel and Talamantes. He was brought to this city and before his trial loudly pro- tested that he had been kidnaped. RIDES OF 100 MILES. His story was that Felix had found him asleep, got the drop on him, tied him to a horse and then after a ride of nearly 100 miles brought .bim into the . United Stales, where he was captured. That did not save him .from being tried, however, and he was speedily convicted and is now serving a life sentence in San Quentin | peftentiary. He appealed to the Mexican Consul, General A. Andrade, and through him the | case was reported to the Mexican Govern- ment. It was made the subject of an of- ficlal note to Secretary Hay, who had | the case investigated. The Los Angeles , officers reported that they had found the yman on the American side of the border and had arrested him there. If he was kidnaped they knew nothing of it. That was the report sent to Washington and transmitted to the Mexican Government. REMOVAL EXPECTED. Now ~General' Andrade has been in- structed by his government to Institute : proceedings for the extradition, not of Martinez, but of Fellx, who is said to have kidnaped the murderer, and the first steps in tbat direction have been taken. The matter will be considered finally by United States |Commissioner Van Dyke on Tuesday, and it is probable that the prisoner will be ‘ordered removed to Mex- jco upon expiration of his jail sentence. | Felix declares that if the Mexican offi- OF MRS.

BOSTON, June 4.—Bitterly attacking the cult of which he was once an enthusi- astic exponent, Dr. Charles G. Pease has resigned from membership in the First Church of Christian Science, known as the “mother church,” in Boston. He renounced the belief as “a fabric of de- ceit, falsehood and dishonesty,” and as a “grave danger to the comriunity. Ina k of 130 pages, he descants upon the abuSes which, he alleges; exist the practice of so-called healing and brings up battery after baftery against the ramparts of the system established by Mrs. Mary Baker G. Eddy. In his letter of resignation. hie declares that danger- ous, wicked, cruel and un-Christain teachings, acts and methods prevail with- in the Christian Science organization, and in his book he sa: “In Christian Science thers 13 just enough Scriptural truth to flout the de- ceptive, hypoeritical, hypnotic philosophy of a teaching which is a poisonous nar- cotic to the spiritual perceptive power of the mind. Self-complacency and self-love pass for Christianity and ‘dishonesty, falsehood. deception, trespass and oppres- sion in the individual pass as a virtus Dr. Pease declares that by Christian Sclence the conscience is blunted and that he has reason to belleve that, with this new thought leavening the world, thers is more perjury in the courts than ever hefore. “As a produet of a ddangerous human philisophy,” the doctor styles the First Church of Christian Science of this city. “Such a condition,” says he, “of despot-~ ic and un-Christian enthraldom codld not exist In a free land under the guise of religion except as a resuit of this subtle, deceptive, hypnotic teaching.” Then the author takes evidence of a conspiracy in- the formation of clubs throughout the land and speaks of a men- tal Mafia of attacks by thought and sug- gestion. He says the Christian Scientists are much given to a display of material prosperity. “How,” he inquires, “has all this been brought about? Are all the people In this church, who are wearing hand- some, extravagant clothing and jewels, wealthy? Not by any means. Honest debts have gone unpaid that the require- ments of the church might be met and handsome dressing is one of the require- ments. The people inividually have it im- pressed upon them to dress handsomely The ushers have had instructions to se: those handsomely dressed in the center aisles \and these mnot so handsomely dressed in the side aisles, thus placing a premium on handsome dressing.” ————— ARGENTINA MAY ALSO BE GIVEN A CARDINAL Pope Is Urged to Take the Step im Case He Names One f Brasil.
