THE SPIRITUAL BILL OF FARE. Yesterday's Services iv the Va- rious Churches. Vr. Chichester on the Commotion Among; Presbyterians. Xtev, Clarke's Sermon at Christ Chnrch. Rev. Howard's Sermon at the First Presbyterian Chnrch. Yesterday morning Dr. Chichester preached about the man who waß robbed of his gods. The text was Judges 18:24. "And Micah said, ye have taken away my gods, and what have I left?" The doctor's subject was tbe present panic in the Presbyterian church —the causes of it and tbe folly of it. Among other causes he mentioned tbe unwise utterance of extremists, the putting of too much stress on the mere human ac cessaries of religion, unseemly and un soriptnral impatience and the failure to recognize the margin of error in all human views of truth. One of the doctor's strongest points was the emphasis he placed on the fact that while the writers of tbe Bible were inspired the readers of it are not, and this should make us all humble and tolerant in holding opinions that may clash with those of our brethren. As the great French preacher Vinet once said: "Even now after 18 centuries of Chrietianity, we may be involved in some tremendous error of which the Christianity of the future will make us ashamed." The doctor's whole sermon was a plea for peace in the present agitated state of the Presbyterian church. He eaid that the great Presbyterian denomination waß just now in the trying position of Paul's storm-beaten ship—"where two seas meet." The extreme progressive current is setting in from one direction and the extreme conservative current from another, and it will take wise and skilful steering to bring the vessel through. The doctor waß not an alarmist, how ever ; for while the man-made gods of religion were being swept away one after another, the great vital and essen tial truths are all untouched. "What have I left?" cries the man whose graven images have been stolen. Everything is left that is fundamental to our faith, the Bible, the church, the Almighty Divine Father and the blessed Lord Christ. Rev. Howard's Sermon. Rev. B. F. Howard of the First Pres byterian church delivered an able and comprehensive sermon yesterday morn ing. There was a large congregation present, and his remarks were closely followed. The text waa taken from the fourth verse of the firstchapterof Paul's epistle to the Epheaiaus: "Even ac He chose us in Him before the foundation of tbe world." Christ is more than the world has yet conceived of. His relation to tbe race is closer than has entered into the thought of men, or even their hopes. There is a largeness of conception that men have missed becanse of its very immensity. Christ iB known "after the ileal.." We KrA rirnTlA in qv» *t *t»* of t-: . Jhy between the gasp of the infant esus at Bethlehem and the long sigh of the Crucified at Calvary for all our facts, and to leave out of our thinking tbe eternity out of which the Christ burst on the world's vision, and the eternity into which He passed from the trills of Bethany. The words we have received for our study this day will correct our view if we grasp their meaning in any degree of fullness. Before the genius of science had discovered the telescope tbe heavens were thought of as a crystal dome hung like an inverted goblet, jewel-flecked, above the earth. Whole systems of worlds moved in their noise leßß orbits and great stars poured forth their wealtb of golden glory, but men's eyes were holden and they did not see them. Then came the revelation through the glass, and out of the enlarged heav ens, whose radius stretched away under the lengthened vision to the infinity of space, vast central suns took shape, wondrous harmonies and relatione never dreamed of grew plain to the awe-struck mind, and the earth itself wsb invested with a dignity that transfigured it as it took its place in the mighty family of the heavens. As I look into this word of the mighty preacher the short radius of conception that limits the Christ to His earthly life, and humanity to the generations of its earthly history, pushes out into the eternal paßt. I see the Son of God, the Word that became flesh and dwelt among us, in the beginning with God. 1 see humanity, passing behind the date men have stamped upon it, chosen in Christ before the foundation of the world. I see with wondering spirit an eternal fellowship, from before the birth of time, established between tbe Son of God and the sens of men, and then great mysteries are solved. I see why the Son of God ia also son of man. I ccc why the Christ was born of a vir gin, the cross grows luminous, and life's riddle is interpreted. There is running all through these words the teaching of a marvelous fel lowship between Christ and the sons of men, chosen in Him before the founda tion of the world, designed as sons of the Father also through Christ, bleeeed with every spiritual blessing ac we find them in Him, and obtaining God's grace only as it is freely bestowed on us in the Beloved. The history of human ity is inseparably bound up with Christ. Apart from Him man haß no ground for existence and human life is an ungueesed conundrum. Creation is not the product of a whim. The world, the things of the world, and the man who has dominion in tbe world exist only because Christ has a vital relation to them. There is no other explanation that explains their purpose. "The Father hath life in Him self." What follows? Life constantly desires to impart itself, therefore "as the Father hath life in Himself even so gave He to the Son to have life in Him self." This Bon who has life in Himself desires also to impart it. I know that this is a broad concep tion, but it is no broader than the reve lation. Christ is more to the world than the world has had the faintest idea of. His work as redeemer does not begin to to compass the fullness of Hiß relation to men. Before sin entered into the world the fortunes of the race were wrapped up in Him, and He was a part ner in the experiences of humanity. He came in the flesh not to establish this fellowship, but because of it. Do Dandruff. This annoying scalp trouble, which gives the hair an untidy appearance, is cured by eknnV>~\ r"oS bi'r vrnwer. you recall tbe remarkable statements in the second chapter of the Hebrews? It says: "It became Him for whom are all things, and through Whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory to make tbe Author of their salvation perfect through Buffering." Tbe idea we are after lodges in the indirect touches. The phrase "many" eons is significant. How is it that men are bo called? The explanation follows: "For He that sanctitieth—the Son of dod— "and they that are sanctified" —we men —"are all of one"—a mysterious unity of relation. Then it goes on: "For which cause" —this oneness —"He is not ashamed to call them brethren." Then follows the reason for His aseumiug our flesh, because of hie fellowship with us: "Since, then, the children are sharers in flesh and blood, He also Himself in like manner partook of the same." "It be hooved Him in all things to be made like His brethren." "We are not breth ren of Christ because He assumed our nature; Christ has assumed our nature because we are His brethren." And what is the purpose lying back of His coming? It wae not the establishment of the fellowship between Christ and men. It was a revelation and fulfillment of relation already existent. We eaid a moment ago that the very being of men, their physical life, lay in the relation tionship between Christ and hnmanity. What is true of the physical life is also true of the spiritual life. "God hath bleseed us with every spiritual blessing in Christ." The revelation that the physical life of the world grew out of the fact that the Sou of God hath life in Himself, is not so important as the fact tbat "God hath given unto us eternal life, and that life is in His Son." So I take it that the incarnation has a larger significance than redemption merely. I believe Christ would have come had there never been any sin. I believe that the promise made to the woman, that out of her own seed should come One who should bruise the serpent's head, was not the announcement of a purpose newly made, with reference to the ruined state of humanity, but that the purpose had always existed, and that that the promise was that the fellowship already existent should not fail because of sin, but that the Coming One should still cling to his creatures and show His fellowship to the uttermost in human redemption. There are depths of meaning in the wordß, "We are complete in Him," that we have not yet sounded. Life is an unsolved riddle till we find a clue to it in His eternal relation to us. It is a perplexing tangle until, in His fellow ship, we find the one thread that re solves it all. Life is an eternal " Why." We cannot tell whence it comes or whither it goes until He is the known factor in its problem. Nothing that touchea humanity is rounded out to ful ness until He is added to it. Did you ever enter a great cathedral at twilight, while a master hand touched tho organ's keys? At first a few questioning tones came trembling forth from the wondrous thing. Then note after note added its voice. The dusk seemed filled with the cry of a thousand longing souls. A strange yearning crept into your own heart bb you listened. High and fuller and deeper the music rolled among the pillars, it shuddered beneath ycur feet, climbed in wistful search among the overhanging arches. The very air was filled with a sense of incompleteness, with a spirit of unutterable want. You feel like one who listens to the wail of a hungry child as it tugß at the breaatof its dead mother. Then, out of the sob bing and weeping, there arose a new nni.o Kl*a + 1... —• • I. -»( c* augcl, TTlgli above ail it soared and swelled and thrilled. It gathered up into, itself the minor wails and the (Trying until all were lost in one vast blending of tri umphant harmony. Then you under stood it all. The added voice inter ported all the rest. So is the Christ. Life's mystery has wailed and surged for ages to and fro. The life of men has been filled with unutterable longing. Existence has been a dark enigma for which there has been no solution, until into tbe varioue plaints and queries blende the voice of Christ: "I am the vine, ye are the branches, without Me ye can do nothing." Then life falls into place in the fellowship of Christ, aud we see that all life is gathered up into oneness in Him. Beloved, more and more am I im pressed with ths inseparably vital rela tion of Christ to the world. More and more am I convinced that what men need, and all that men need, is Christ —a fuller, clearer vißion of Him; a closer touch of His life on their life ; a deeper inspiration of His spirit in their practices, in order to solve all the vex ing problems of church aud Bociety and state. More and more do I believe that He is the life of the world, and the only life of the world. And the souls that are growing purer and stronger and ra diant with a heavenly glory, and tbe churches that are warm and glowing and active in transfiguring the earth by bringing heaven into it, are the souls and the churches that live in closest and most conscious fellowship with Jesus Christ. At Christ's Church. There was the usually large attend ance at Christ's church yesterday morn ing. The choir is one of tbe features of the service, and some excellent music is rendered. The rector, Rev. Mr. A. S. Clarke, delivered the sermon with more than accustomed excellence. Dr. Lef fingwell, principal of St. Mary and St. Alban's school at Knoxville, HI., and editor of the Leading Church, the prin cipal Episcopal church paper of the west, was present and assisted Mr. Clarke in the services. The text of the sermon was taken from Psalm ix:l2: "Open Thou mine eyes that I may behold wondrous things out of Thy law. " Tbe vision of faith is blessed reality. As much so as is the miraculous recov ery of sight in tbe blind. The natural man underetandetb not the things of God, for they are spiritually deserved. The treasures of grace and piety arise from the most unpromising text of scripture. The new light throws clearness upon the old revelation vision of faith de clared to be Bupernatural. It is a gift conferred and can and should be sought and prayed for. The need of it is to make hope bright and courage strong. With it sorrow becomes a means of grace and tends to the reflection of God's love. This claim is not a delusion. Some see more than others that there is an occult power in it other than brain force. It is faith which iB above reason. Some Victory!

The vision is though a fact whether ono or a dozen persons have it. The testi mony ia stronger if many persons tes tify. It is an agreement which has existed among Christiana in all ages. It ia one line of conduct, one rule of faith, one object of worship and one destiny for all. Tbe claim is proper, for it is founded on fact and experience. There are those who, declaring that this knowl edge can be communicated, do not be come arrogant or supercilious. No close corporation is formed by means of lt, for the Arcanum is open. Enter ye in and know. Some see more in religion than others, for they have a supernatural gift divinely conferred and assiduously cul tivated. The claim is tbe same in the spiritual as well aa the natural. Some persons are wiser or wittier than others; one may raise a weight, invent some mechanism, write an epic poem, com pose a song of merit, indite a book of worth with all the evidences of genius. So character must be the outcome of the gift of heart. In religion there will always be the eminent men who see and know more than others, just as the ages have had their great men. As a Herechel discov ering laws of astronomy, a Humboldt composing his Cosmos, a Newton ex plaining the laws of gravitation, or onr own Agassiz, the first naturalist of ou/ Uvea. Expoaition of doctrine is one thing, but heart and knowledge is quite an other. Holiness does not interfere with mental equipment. In the darkness and the twilight, with hands stretched out to feel for the Divine, let the Cry for more light be heard. The prayer of faith ascends, and 10, tbe Divine Healer and Restorer is met and a new world of pity and charm opens out to view, holi ness takes on a new aspect, religion is seen to be a blessing. HOLES IN THE GROUND. ENCOURAGING REPORTS FROM THE BIONKWAI.I, DISTRICT. Governor Waterman's Mine Being Again Worked—A Sale of Calico Mlnes-A Rich Find at Temescal. G. L. Seybold is down from the Stone wall mining district, says the San Diego Union, and bringß favorable reports con cerning the work being done in that aec tion. He says of the Stonewall mine: "Two years ago the mine gave employ ment to about 160 men and ran 20 stamps. For some cause the mine was shut down after the death of Governor Waterman and was allowed to fill with water, so that for several months the camp was almost entirely depopulated, but one family remaining to look after the property. About three months ago 10 stamps were started on rock left on the dump when the mill was shut down, and now the force has been In creased to 15 men. Tbe machinery has been overhauled and put in working order, and it iB expected that work in the mine will be resumed at an early day. Instead of tbe mine being on the decline it iB recovering from a dead stop. "Other minea In the vicinity of the Stonewall are in a proeperouß condition. Tho little mill at Camp Eureka, 10 miles tl.o .auiiiAaat r iii li.utolano rock all the time, with ore enough on the dump and in sight to keep it run ning for the next year. The five-stamp mill In tbe same camp will start soon on a new mine recently purchased by the Noble brothers. This ledge is about eight feet thick and carries considera ble free gold. Good results are ex pected. "Five and a half miles southeast of the Stonewall In the Cascade, a new mine on which there has been about $1200 worth of development work done, including four assessments. Two shafts have been eunk on thia ledge to a depth of 40 feet, about 180 feet apart. In tbe north shaft tbe ledge is somewhat split, but carries rock on an average of ll) 1 .. feet in thickness, with gold evenly distributed through all parts of the ledge. In the south shaft the ledge was 2'.j feet thick on tbe surface and has gradually Increased to over 14 feet of solid quartz at a depth of 38 feet, and carries gold from wall to wall, as well as an unusual quantity of pyrites of iron and hulpburets. The ledge is higbly mineralized, and In some parts are fine samples of peacock ore in the moßt brilliant colors of blue and gold. The foot wall of this ledge is syenite and the hanging wall gray schist. There is about 60 tons, of milling rock on the the dump and arrangements will be made to put up a mill at an early date. "I have been nearly four years in this part of the country,and the mining interests are now looking better than ever before, as there has been develop ment work enough done to make it cure that several good paying mines will aoon be added to the list in thia district, Tbe assessment baa been done on many other claims, which will doubtless pay well when properly developed. A Rich Find. On Saturday James R. Pollard, W. T. Munger and J. W. Abell returned from tbe Temescal mining district, in San Bernardino county, fourteen miles from Ferris, bringing with them samples of ore from a location recently made by them. The ore is a carbonate, carrying free gold, and the ledge in many places iB eight feet wide. Samples of the ore have been sent to Lob Angeles for ex amination, and if they come up to the locators' expectations, active work will be begun on the ledge.

A Discussion of a Few Proposed Changes in the Bales. Shall the Game Consist This Season En tirely of Hard Hitting and Heavy Scores?— Yesterdny's Aiu- attar Oaine. If one half of the changes are made in the playing rules of the national game this season that have been proposed by fan-enthusiasts, baseball patrons may look for such an exhibition of their favorite sport as they have not seen since the brotherhood days. It has been practically conceded that the game, through the latitude allowed the pitcher in his delivery of the ball, has been reduced almost to a question of superiority in the box. Tbe combina tion of speed and curves places the bats man very much at the mercy of the pitcher, bo tbat if tbe former happens to hit the ball at all it is almost five to one it will go directly toward a fielder. Indeed, when one looks over the score of a modern game of baseball, in which 40 individual batsmen face tbe pitcher, it will be found that eight base bite out of that many "times at bat" will be tar above the average. Of course it reads all well enough the next day to say that "the game wae a pitchers' contest" and that "base hits were scarcer than ben's teeth ;" and after a game of that kind ia a little over half finished the spectators realize its scientific nature and settle down to a nervous and quiet enjoyment of a contest of pure and simple skill. But the real question which confronts the business end of baseball ia whether this matter of skill In pitching haß not been carried too far. With surprising unanimity the writers on the subject Bay that it haa, and the outgivings from the seat of high authority, tbe National league, are to the effect that a radical change will he made in thia respect. To accomplish the desired end —make the game faßter and hitting livelier there have been many schemes pro posed. One suggestion is to increase the diamond to 03 feet between bases; an other is to put the pitcher back five or eight feet more; still another is to put tho box in tbe center of the diamond; put more rubber in the ball; confine the pitcher to the man in front of him and prevent him throwing to the bases; and probably a dozen other visionary ideas that have only to be tried in order to be discarded. But the consensus of opin ion leans to a larger diamond and the pitcher's box a greater distance from the plate. The leading eastern authorities advocate both, even to placing the pitcher in the center of tbe 03 foot diamond. At the recent meeting of the New. England league, without waiting for < action on the part of the big organization, the managers lengthened the pitching dis tance to 68 feet. If this means the dis tance between the plate and the box, which is five and a half feet deep, then the pitcher would have to be able to cover <53% feet. The center of a 93-foot diamond would be but a trifle less than , anil it that point mm iflm-maAe the center of the bnx, the rear line would then be about 68>» feet from the plate. Speed from that distance would count for but little, and curves would be easily solved. The batter, if at all scien tific, could place the ball almost where he would want to, and the game would be rapid enough in hitting to suit the rankest touts. But the players think this change will be too radical. They Bay that the scores will pile up bo that a game un der two figures to a Bide will be phe nomenal, and that the games will be alow in other respects. Then, again, comes up tbe queßtion as to which kind of slowness will be the least offensive— slow hitting or large scores, and tbe answer can only be found by experi menting. **» Manager Harris, of the San Francisco team, has a proposition to make field ing livelier. He suggests that on a foul fly the ball come back into play as soon ac it touches a fielder's hands. That is. a baae-runuer may leave bis base at once on an error of a foul fly, the same as if it be held. A rule of this kind would only add stu pidity to tbe game and put desperate attempts at a discount. To avoid ad vancing a base-runner on an error of that nature, the fielder would simply let tbe ball go, and take his time to pick it up after it stopped rolling. He would be foolish to take any chances one way or the other. Other ideas to liven the game are open to as many objections, though all have some points to commend them. It seems to the writer that a happy solu tion would be to put a little more rubber in the ball, give the batter four strikes or allow him to call for a ball above or below the belt. Thia should surely make hitting enough to satisfy anyone, and at the same time admits of fair skill in the box. But we will all know more about it after the meeting of the rnlea com mittee of the National league on March 10th, and in the meantime it is well enough for fans to make up their minds for a season of hard hitting and large scores. THE ALLEGED AMATEURS. They Flayed a Fair Game, bat Charged Un Admission .Fee. The opening game of baseball of tbe amateur league of Southern California, between the Tufts-Lyon Armß company and Jacoby BrOB. nines resulted in a score of 6 to 2 in the former's favor. While the league is called an amateur organization, the very worthy young gentlemen in charge of yesterday's game charged an admission fee of 25 cents. If this is to he a regular thing tbe organ ization haa no right to call itself the am ateur league of Southern California. The only Pure Cream of Tartar Powder.—No Ammonia; No Alum.

If it is their intention to continue the programme of yesterday they should change the name to the Junior Profes sional league of California. The game was an excellent exhibition of amateur baseball. There were no es pecially brilliant plays, but it was well contested throughout. Bentley ap peared to have the better of tbe pitch ing, as the Jacoby Bros, did not hit him bo freely as the Tufts-Lyons reached Hart. The crowd was not very large, but made up for tbe lack of numbers by vig orous rooting. The sympathies of the bleachers appeared to be with the Ja coby nine. The umpire was unmercifully guyed, and was wide of the mark in his de cisions on balls and strikes. There was but one unpleasant feature to the game. In the ninth inning Van Horn made a drive to left field, and while running to first base noticed the umpire was watching the ball. In stead of touching the first bag, Van Horn cut across the diamond and reached second base. There waß an up roar immediately, the Tufts-Lyon Arms men claimed the runner out, while the Jacoby men maintained that aa the umpire had not noticed the play he could not make a decision, and Van Horn waß entitled to second base. Van Horn was decided out. He held the base, however, and finally scored, the Tafts-Lyon Armß men making no opposi tion. As the last man wbb being retired at firat base Sprecker committed a foul by throwing his glove in front of the baseman, who wae waiting for the ball. The run-getting was ac follows : In the first inning Hartley reached third base on a long hit and scored on a paseed ball by Buekirk from Newman. Two runs were added in the second inning by the Tuftß-Lyon men. Brown hit for two bases, went to third on Miller's hit and scored on a passed ball. Miller scored on Newman's wild throw to second base to catch Bent ley. Long in the fifth inning hit for one baße and scored on Leland's two bagger. In the eighth inning Leland hit to Bußkirk and scored on a wild throw by Hart. Another run waa made in the ninth by Bentley, who was brought in by the deadly base on balls, when the bases are covered. The runs of the Jacoby nine were made in the second inning. Newman was given his base on balls, stole sec ond, went to third on Bentley's wild throw and scored on Long'a mufi. Buskisk waß given a base on balls, went to second on Guercio's hit, stole third and scored on Sprecker's base hit. The teams were as follows i Tufts-Lyon—Long, third base; Hart ley, center field; Leland, left field; Rockwell, catcher: McGrath. sscnnrt base; Arnold, right field; Brown, first base; Miller, shortstop, and Bentley, pitcher. Jacoby Bros.—Stephenson, right field ; Smith, shortstop; Roberta, center field; Newman, catcher; Van Horn, left'field; Buskisk, third base; Guercio, first baße; Sprecker, second baee, and Hart, pitcher.

Conductor Kincb, of the local passen ger train between Santa Ana and Los Angeles, cam« lugging a tall man into the smoking car yesterday afternoon, not long after tbe train left Anaheim towards Los Angoles, and deposited him very unceremoniously in a Boat. Then he asked him for tbe balance of his fare to the city. There was some little par ley, in which the man dug up a dollar and received 95 cents in change, when the conductor gave him a train receipt and passed on. The man wae very much excited, and told several parties tbat the conductor's action was an outrage. Upon being asked what the trouble waa, Conductor Kinch said that the passen ger, whoee name was not. learned, had got on the train at Santa Ana with a ticket to Riverside. Ha should have changed cars at Orange, but continued on tbe train, and waa told that he could get off at Anaheim and take the next train back. Ha did not get off at Ana heim, and when the conductor went to collect his fare, indulged in some pleas antries about riding to Los Angeles free. Mr. Kinch said the man had been drinking and became abusive; so much so as to disturb the ladies in the car. He parleyed with him for thirteen miles and finally told him he must pay the fare from Orange to Los Angeles, $1.05. Finally tbe passenger pulled out a dol lar, and shoving it at the conductor, told him to "take it and go to h—l." He refused to pay the remaining 5 cents, when tbe muscular young con ductor shouldered him and carried him, kicking and struggling, out of the ladies' car into the smoking car, where he col lected the nickel in tbe manner de scribed. The paeaenger vowed ven geance and to get even with Conductor Kinch. He claims he had the money in his band to pay him when be was trans ferred to the Bmoker. CONSCIENTIOUS OR STUPID? A Pomona Young Man and His Railroad Ticket. An amusing incident occurred the other day on the Santa Fe railroad, says the Pomona Progress. The west-bound express, in charge of Jake Weatfall, had pulled out of Pomona, and as the con ductor passed through the train he found among the passengers who had boarded it at the lost stopping place a young man respectably dressed and ap pearing to be possessed of ordinary in telligence, but whose actionß indicated that hia experience in railroad travel had been very limited. As the conduc tor halter for the young man's fare the latter handed up a ticket good for pass age from Pomona to Azusa, and with it » iiTD-ctm% y>e»e.-—iTl.» e*»*d,ae*ey, -hroTf suspicious that a practical joke was about to be sprung, looked at the young man and asked : "What is thia money for?" "I see," said the passenger, in sober earnestness, "it sayß on the ticked, 'Not goed unless stamped,' and aa I do not happen to havo a Btainp with me I give you the rive cents and you can put it on." The young man's manner convinced Mr. Westfall that the passenger was not joking, bo the good-natured conductor, with no sign of merriment, handed back the coin, remarking that it was a small matter and ho would lix it all right.
