of Yesterday.
A large Congregation at the Simp
son Tabernacle Revival.
A Sormnii of a Quaker .Evangelist
Thomson ou the Mantle of
Elijah -A Flea for
Peace*
About 1500 people attended the re
vival meeting in the Simpson taber
nacle yesterday morning. Tbe sermon,
which was preached by tbe Quaker
evangelist, David B. Updergraff, was
one of tbe most powerful and convinc
ing yet delivered during tbe present
series, and was marked by an unusual
lack of the orthodox blood and thunder
denunciations,
Tbe address was preceded by a solo
from Mies Updergraff, whose sweet mez
zo soprano delighted those present.
The evangelist chose for his text,
the thirteenth veroe of St. Paul's second
epistle to the Thesßalomans. But we
are bound to give thanks to God always
for you, brethren, beloved of the Lord,
for that God chose you from the begin
ning, unto Salvation, in sane tin cation of
the spirit, and belief of tbe truth.
In the course of his remarks be said:
"Here is a powerful declaration of tbe
end sought, and the method of receiv
ing that end. Paul, in a few words,
compresses the doctrine and the expe
rience which ia necessary to every child
of God. It is commonly believed that
in those days, God performed miracles,
and did good things for people, in a
manner nnusual at this later day, but
shall we not rather believe that God to
day is just the Bame as then? It is the
privilege of those who believe, it
is our privilege to expect the
same benefits and the same help
from Him, and I praise God for it. I
declare to you I think we come very far
short of appreciating our heirship in
Christ. Now peopls look on being saved
by sanctification as next door to an im
possibility; so it is, sactification is only
the medium by which we may attain sal
vation. Salvation doesn't mean simply
being saved from hell, it means much
more. It is not an insurance policy
against the devil as tome would bslieve ;
it is not only the desire to lead a Chris
tian life, for tbe desire for snch a life
must precede Balvation and the prayer
for salvation. Now, what is a good defi
nition of Balvation? I will give you one
which I think and hope you will appre
ciate. Salvation is a present possession
of tbe imputed righteousness and belief
in the pardoning capacity of Christ; it
is being saved from tho power of sin.
Now I am not going to exaggerate any
thing. Salvation iB a wide term, aa a
general term it covers everything from
hell to heaven, but there are grand divis
ions in it as in other generic terms. Sal
vation may be divided into sanctification,
and justification. Our bodily Balvation
we need not bother about, for our soul's
Balvation will be opened to us at the
coming of our Lord .leans Christ. Now
Paul shows that be has divided the
term salvation into justification and
glorification, for example, in which he
writes to the Thesaalonians. Who are
ttoy tbat they should be Considered fit
candidates for salvation on those two
terms. Were they Christians, newly
converted? I think not. Tbe church
at Theßsalonica was a model church, a
church well up in the school of Christ,
and therefore more fit for his lesions
than many of ub today.
People say often tbat they do not
claim to be especially good, and that
therefore too much must not be ex
pected of them; yet we read in the
scriptures of people who, because they
followed God so faithfully in email
things, were made rulers over all. These
Thesealonian« were truly, and in every
Bense of the word, saved people, as truly
saved people as I hope some of you are
thia morning, thank the Lord. We
must be born again, our congregations
must be new, our preachers must be
new, new in Jesus Christ, but that is
only the Beginning. Wo are not satis
fied when we have a little child born to
ub ;we are eager to develop it. Do you
think that your Heavenly Father doeß
not also desire your moral development
as eagerly ?
Do not delay. I remember that occa
sionally people have given me tbe names
of friende of theirß in strange cities, in
order that when I visited those cities I
might know where to find a friend.
Occasionally I have thought it unnec
essary to remember these names and
have often regretted it when visiting
their cities, but it was then too late.
Oh, if I could tell you the things I have
heard by the bedsides of the dying, of
the laments of those who had lost their
opportunities of finding the way. Mas
the blood of Chrißt touched you in any
way ? If so tben you are sanctified.
Have you renounced the devil and all
his worke? Then you are sanctified;
you must pass under tbe blood ; in these
ways were tbe Theasalonians sanctified.
No man is privileged to live an unholy
life; morally he dare not; it will bank
rupt him,
God will not allow the devil to compel
you to live in sin. We cannot see him,
but we know it, and we can see God in
Heaven.
There are come of you here thiß morn
ing who are along way from Him. Come
nearer to Him, He wante to dwell in our
hearts, let God live your liveß for you,
surrender you weapons of rebellion, give
np your arms, make an unconditional
surrender.
In conclueion the speaker eaid : "Be
hungry for grace ;now ia the time to get
a good meal, you may be hungry again.
I have a good appetite three times a
<lay, aa the peoples)! am staying with can
testify. God has made a good pro
vision for us; take it. Humble your
selves and the Lord Bhall fill you. How
tnany of you are willing to Bay, thia iB
*oa : s testbT"
At the finises (if the sermon many of
those preeent applied for admission into
the tabernacle, and Evangelist Upder
graff remained, in order to *a»lain any
obscure points in his discourse fro those
desirioua of obtaining information.
Services will be held at the tabernacle
Jvery day during the week except Sat

CHURCH. OF THE UNBY, •
Dr. Thomson preached yesterday
morning upon The Mantle of Elijah,
taking for his text the words in Second
Kings ii., 15. "Tbe spirit of Elijah
doth rest unon Elisha."
When Elisha asksd the elder prophet
for a double portion of his spirit, he
asked a bard thing. It was a similar
case when Chriet was asked to give the
two young disciples a place o» each side
of Him in the kiugdom. He had to say
in reply that it was not in His province
to distribute preferment, and tbat tbe
young men must earn promotion if they
wculd obtain it. So Christianity Btarted
out very early in civil service reform,
and Christ taught that there wae to be
no epecial favoritism, but tbat his sys
tem was one where merit would be re
waidelin spite of all apparent hin
drances.
The problem of success is one we all
have to do with, and the four steps or
coneiderations are: First, to remember
that we can never succeed except in the
thing that we were made for. Second,
thought. We must apply our mental fac
ulties exclusively in every line that
leads to success. Prayer is thought
toward God. When that thought be
comes on fire it ia earneßt prayer. Third,
work. The men and women that have
bleßsed tbe world have ever been tha
workers in it. Fourth, inspiration. The
persistent workers according to law are
blessed with inspiration, and those who
have not achieved success have failed,
because they let go. If you undertake
what you aro fitted for and hold on to it
you can make the world recognize your
ability and the combination of faith, in
spiration, tact, geniUß and character
thnt have brought you to the front.
Elijah's mantle was tbe symbol of his
authority; he held ou to it to the very
last; he did not get tired and say he
would let a younger man do tbe work.
Tho fact is that the man who prepares
to retire prepares for a life of misery.
This life is not too long for us to do all
we can in it. At the same time the
proper resta should be taken along the
road of life, and the Sunday ia one of
them. The unrelaxed strain of employ
ment Ib fatal. The prominent railroad
official just passed away was a caae in
point. His work was a steady strain
without intermission, until finally the
Btring snapped and he died by tue way.
In this continent young people show
signs of age sooner than the people of
other continenta, but at tbe same time
no people show a greener or more active
old age than thote of the United States;
they hold on to their work, and seldom
think of retiring. Still, it is human to
think of our success in business, and
many no doubt are waiting to know the
right one to throw their mantle of suc
cession upon, and tho thought of wbo
will come after us when we are called
into a region of higher activities gives
natural trouble.
When a man is about to die he always
haß something to cay, some last request
to make. Be honest with your promise
to tbe dead. Some people when they die
make a promise to come back if they
can. They hardly ever do come back
except when, in the solemn eventide,
you sit alone with yourthour.hte fend be
come conscious of their spiritual pres
ence, and you commune with their soule
in the only way that God allows. Is the
great pathway of destiny controlled by
spirits, that we know not of? The spirit
cannot die; it is a part of God This
thought Bhould make us feel mo com
fortable. Tho spirits may com, and
teach us; they don't set their bands
upon us end control our individuality.
Domination on their part or on the part
of an auy. A would be acrime. Man's in
dividuality sinks to the roots of his be
ing ; it is too noble and godlike to be
con l rolled in Buch a manner.
Have you never triad to think when
the thought you wanted would not
como? At not, you have never been a
preacher. All at once tbe thoughts
come too fast 'or ycu to record them.
How is it explained? I know what the
psychologists would say; but the
trouble with them is that they always
stop short ».t the most interesting part,
because they can go no further. There
are the thoughts often suggested to our
minds by the loneliest things, that flash
upon us and resultin wonderful achisve
ments. When you are sitting in your
library reading tbe pr.ges of an author
long since departed, you are face to face
with a ghost; the writer's fingers
mouldered into duat long years ago,
perhaps, but he is with you all the same
ana his thoughts have power to stir
your blood. The Bibls is a library with
its 60 books, and had more than that
number of authors. They are talking
to us now, and in the silence they come
to us with inspiration and with power.
The poor Catholic woman going into
the church of the Madeline and kneel
ing, weary and faint, before the picture
of some departed saint or Virgin
Mary, receives an inspiration
which sends her on her way
rejoicing. In this ccur'ry the
Catholic church ia too often judged by
our knowledge of Irish servant girls.
The Protestant church would suffer if
Bimilitrly judged. Pioteßtantiiin lacks
some of those line, tender touches; it
is essentially masculine compared to
the feminine influence of the Catholic
church with ite large membership of
tine, spiritual women and exalted
respect for the mother of the founder of
Christianity.
The speaker concluded with an elo
quent appeal for the pinking of sectarian
differences in the one grand effort to be
Cbristlike and not to let go in Christian
endeavor until death.
The church was crowded ac usual.
The subject of next Sunday morning's
discourse was announced as The Nature
and Necessity of Faith, which is chosen
at the request of many hearerß. Dr.
Thomson will speak at tbe Unity club
social on Wednesday evening upon The
lub and Outs of a Clergyman's Experi
ence.
A PI.BA FOR PEACE.
The following plea has just been is
sued by 235 representative Presbyterian
ministers from all parts of the country.
Among the signatures to this plea we
are glad to notice the name of Rev. Dr.
Chichester of this city. It is a dignified
and manly protest againet the fanati
cism of extremist?, who are endangering
the church and unity. The following is
the full text of the paper, with the sig
natures omitted:
To those who are actively engaged in
the ministry of Christ, the chief inter
est and the Cist du'y is the bringing of
tbe simple gospel home to the hearts
and lives of mon.
Thiß is the great work of the church
to which everything elee must give way.
She can only win the favor of God and
the love of men by single hearted devo
tion to the task of preaching and prac
ticing plain Christianity.
As ministers of Jesus Christ, and
working paßtorß in the Presbyterian
church, we are filled with the gravest
fears lest the usefulness of the church
ahould bo hindered, her peace disturbed
and her honor diminished by the preva
lence of theological controversy and
strife fiver doctrinea which are not es
sential.
We remember that there have been
two sad periods in tbe history of our
church in which this has happened.
We remember that our church h*s been
.twice rent asunder by issues which have
been recognized shortly afterward* aa
unnecessary. We dread the possibility
of having eucb a painful experience re
peated in our own times. We are per
suaded that tbe great body of tbe
church, laymen and ministers, have lit
tle sympathy with the extremes of doja.
LOS ANGELES HERALD: MONDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 27, 1893.
mafic conflict, and ate already weary of
the strife of tongues, and are longing
for peace and united work. We feel
that wo do not apeak for ourselves
alone, but for the great multitude who
hold the Bame conviction in regard to
tbe first duty and main work of the
church, while representing at the same
time many different shades of theolog
ical opinion.
It iB in this spirit that we join our
voices in a plain, straight-forward, fra
ternal expression for harmony and
united devotion to practical work. For
this reason we deprecate any and every
attempt to impose new tejta of ortho
doxy, or to restrict the liberty hitherto
enjoyed by those who sincerely sub
scribe to the essential and necessary ar
ticles of the Presbyterian cbnrcb. Es
pecially would we deplore any haaty
addition by informal resolution, or by
judicial decision, to the confessional
statement of the doctrine of holy scrip
ture. We bold firmly to tbe teaching of
tbe first chapter of "The Confession of
Faith," and to the holy scriptures as
the word of God, the only infalliable
rule of faith and practice. We do not
express any individual opinion in re
gard to the theory of the inerrancy of
tbe original autographs of scripture in
matters which are not essential to reli
gion, but differing as we may in regard
to the abstract truth of that theory, we
protest unitedly and firmly against mak
ing assent to it a test of Christian faith
or of good standing in the Preabyterian
ministry.
In the interests of Christian liberty,
in tbe intereste of peace and unity, in
the interests of missionary enthusiasm
and progress, we take this poeition
cleary and firmly, and we cordially in
vite all wbo agree with us, to co-operate
in maintaining these principles, believ
ing tbat tbe end of the commandment is
love out of a pure heart, and a good
conecience, and a faith unfeigned ; and
that the eureet defense of the truth iB its
nnfaltering proclamation.
THE MISSION EXHIBIT.
A t'Nlol'K DISPLAY WHICH WILL
BK orUS TODAY.
A Display Which Is of Interest to Both
Strangers and Old-Timers—Belles
of the Past in Southern
California.
The mission exhibit room in the Po
tomac block on Broadway, near Second
street, will be open today and tonight.
The exhibit is a maaeum, and contains
as fine a collection of curios as can be
collected anywhere. Theee objects are
of especial interest to the people of
California, as they are native to this
wonderful state of wonders. In looking
upon them one haß a realistic picture of
California and its primitive people in
the early days before the paleface came
and dispossessed hie red brother of his
home and his lands. Mission lite is rep
resented by the model ot the San Luis
Bey mission building, the work of Don
Antonio F. Coronel aqd Sefiora Coronel.
Here is shown tbeir mode of living,
habitations, style of dress (or, rather,
undress), system of labor, religious in
struction, and daily life; and, to make
the picture more realistic, several In
dian women occupy a apace near the
model who were nuns at the mission. One
of these was born in the historic build
ing. These women furnish amuaemeit
to the visitor by making pinole .and tor
tillaa—the system of cooking in the
olden days—using the stone metate and
other ancient kitchen utensils.
The etereopticon views of the mißsion
buildings, by W. H. Wilson, supple
mented by the very interesting explan
atory lecture of Misa Annie C. Murpby,
is both an artistic nud intellectual treat.
It ia a detailed illustrated history of the
moat interesting feature of early Cali
fornia. Mr. Bertrand, photographic
artist, has taken numerous sketches of
the mission buildings of Southern Cali
fornia, showing them in their present
Btate of decay. These views are on sale
in the room. The money will be ap
plied to the prevention of the further
ruin of the grand old buildings, whoae
ruina tbey so realistically depict.
The admission to the exhibit ie only
25 cents, the money to be similarly ap
plied.
The Society for the Preservation of the
Missions of Southern California haa in
view a worthy object, the preeervation
of these relics, the moat Interesting in
the pages of early California history.
Southern California pride should stimu
late our people to render to the society
the necessary financial aid.
THE NEW CALIFORNIA!?.
A Paris Notice of a Local Fnb
lloatlon.
The American News of Paris, of Janu
ary 25th, contains the following:
The TheOßOphical Journal of the Occi
dent, issued monthly in Los Angelea,
will appear in an early issue in a new
dreaa and attractive cover. The Theo
sophical Publishing company have
arranged with M. Carl Gutberz of Paris
for the reproduction of his painting,
Ad Astra, for the cover of this maga
zine. Visitors to the Salon of 1801 will
remember the painting of a beautiful
woman robed in white, who, seated in a
fauteuil reading, has lifted' her eyss from
her book—Camille Flammarion'e Uranie
—to gaze at a star. She has paused at
the words quoted by the great astron
omer, "In my Father's house are many
mansions," and the eyes and the paited
lipa are telling that her 60ul is seeking
the divine. The power of the painting
ia its embodiment of the expression
of cultivated intellect and sweet
ness, and the legend will be par
ticularly fitting to a journal really
devoted to the search for truth and the
proclamations of brotherhood.* The
new year bringe about not exactly a de
parture, but an amplification of the
past plans of this magazine, which was
founded two yeare ago by Dr. Jerome
Anderson, a gifted American scholar,
who is held In great esteem by tbe Cali
fornian Tbeoßophists, but who has been
forced to retire from the editorial chair
because of ill health. The New Cali
fornian is now edited by Louise Off,
assisted by Marie Carbart. The maga
zine should intereat Paris circles, since
the programme for 1893 includes the
names of several French and English
writers and artists. Tbe March number
will include a portrait of Lady Dufl'erin
and Ava and an account of her Zenana
mission in India; an occult story by
Curtis Yorke, the popular author of
Hush 1 The Brown Portmanteau, etc.;
and in this prsaent month there begins
a serial story by Pascal Germain, the
author of Rbea, called The Lure, laid
in Paris and Normandy. French Art of
Today will be a series of papers by Carl
Gutberz, the painter of The Light of In
carnation, and Mme. Mary Necreponte
(of tbe Westminster Review and other
fame) will contribute verse. Tbe sub
scription price is 7 francs and 50 con
tTtaen a year.

from all over the continent who ait there
looking out at the gray old eea and
wondering if there will ever be a line oi

Saturday a man from Boston got hold of
thiß telescope, and bung on to it as
though he was soldered to the tube.
"That's right," aaid a New York man
with a jealouß acowl, "take it all, hog,
and I'll starve!"
Ten minutes passed over and still the
telescope fiend didn't let go worth a

came out and wanted a shot with the

never unhook?" Juat then the Boston
man yelled out:
"By Job Mosea, but it is a lovely

"Wot's a fight?" growled the New

"Porpoises, me boy," says the man

"thrashers" (orca rectaprima) in close

A WILMINGTON CASE.
Something That the District Attorney
Should Look Into.
There is a case at Wilmington that
certainly demands prompt action on the
part of the district attorney's office, as
described to a Herald reporter by an
arrival from Wilmington yeaterday :
It seems that a man by the name of
Phillips, who lived about two miles from
the town of Wilmington, according to
the Herald's informant, on last
Wednesday saw a man and hoy engaged
in a difficulty—one oi them being a boy
about 14 years old. The mau had a
gun and waa trying to shoot the boy.
Mr. Phillips at once jumped on a horse
that he had staked out and rode over to
them and appealed to them to desist.
The man at once seized the gun and
struck Mr. Phillip", knocking him from
bis horse and proceeded to beat hie body
and face, breaking his jaw bone and his
left forearm in two places, aud had it
not beeu for Phillips' wife would un
doubtedly have killed him.
After the arrival of Mrs. Phillips the
men got into their wagon near by and
left. Mr. Phillips is an old man 74
yearß of age, of good character, inof
fensive, and greatly respected by lm
neighbore. It seems a warrant waa
Bworn out before Judge Johnson for the
arrest of tbe alleged assailant, who
tnrncd out to be one Maines. Maiuea
waß arrested and entsred a plea of
guilt; of battery, and this morning at
9:80 is tbe time for sentence. It ia not
tbe first time tbat Mainea baa been ar
rested for like offenses, and has been Bet
free with a nominal fine. The people of
Wilmington are much exercised over
the matter, as it is not certain that Phil
lips will live. The district attorney
should at once dispatch some one to
Wilmington to look after the matter.
HE WAS HAPPY.
An Incident Yesterday at a Bovlval
Meeting.
Among the many different incidents
which occurred at the revival meeting,
at the Simpson tabernacle yesterday
morning, waß one which strongly ap
pealed to tbe risibility of many of thoee
present.
A disheveled specter, who had evi
dently spent the earlier part of the
morning in somewhat moro convivial
company, and had been attracted into
the building by the hope of an hour's
slumber, undiiturbed by rude remarks
or reminders from unfeeling police and
patrol wagons, suddenly woke up at the
commencement of the hymn:
"This is my story, this is my song."
A happy smile overspread his features,
ami conn Tit n't ing his somewhat wander
ing senses on tbe words that were being
sung the victim of tanglefoot slowly
arose, and in a delighted tone of voice
exclaimed:
"1 hash 'good song, shing it myself,"
and drifted down the aisle and out into
the sunshine, singing in aeomewhat un
certain key, but with great gusto: "I
bish isb my shtory, thish iah my ehong,
praisheß, praishes, all er day long," and
during the prayer that followed the
statement could be heard at intervals as
he meandered down tho street, to the
effect that be would "shing praishes,
praisheß, all er day long,"

BOTH INJURED.
A Itmian ay Borne Injures P. 1,. Hoff
man and VV. L. Resins.
P. L. Hoffman and W. L. Reame each
met with a serious accident yesterday
afternoon by which both received pain
ful and severe injuries.
Mr. Reame was driving down Temple
street hill in a buggy, accompanied by
his wife and two children. When at
Temple and Pearl streets the horse be
came, uncontrollable, and in running
down hill threw Mr. Reame out of the
buggy violently againet tbe ground. He
sustained a severe injury to the spine,
and was otherwise badly bruised.
Mr. Hoffman, seeing the runaway,
came to the rescue, stopped the horse
and succeeded in getting Mrs. Reame
and the children out of the buggy unin
jured, but he was thrown to the ground
by the frightened horse and trampled
upon, sustaining Berioua injnriea about
the head. The ekull, however, was not
fractured, and while bis wounds are
painful and severe, tbey are not dan
geroue. The gentlemen were taken to
their respective homes.
SHE SAYS HE IS THE MM.
TERESA OASDLO IDKNTIFTKS OAK
CIA AS USE ASSAILANT.
The Girl and Her Brothers See the
Prisoner in the City Jail and Un
kesltatiugly any That He Is
the Offender.
The identification of Jose Garcia as
the man who committed the brutal as
sault upon the girl Teresa Caaulo, laat
Thursday night, seems to be complete.
Yesterday morning the little girl, accom
panied by her father, visited the central
police station. She was taken to bis
cell and the fellow waa called to • tie
door. At first glance the little girl said:
Jose Garcia.
"That is the man who threw me to the
ground, tore my clothing and almost
etrangled me to keep me from calling for
help."
Aleck Cas'ilo, aged about 15 yeare, a
brother of Teresa, and George Giegerich,
aged I.) yearß, ulao recognized the man
aa the one who assaulted the girl. They
recognized the man's features and the
clothing which ha wore at the time.
These are the young men who oppor
tunely came to the girl's assistance and
chased the fellow some distance.
The boys thraw rocka at the man, and
their pursuit waa co close that Garcia
threw away hia coat and veat in order
that he might make greater epeed with
loeb ballaEt. He lost or throw away hia
bat.
the young men took theae articles to
the police station, and yesterday again
identified them ac worn by Garcia at the
time of the assault
Police Clerks Cottle and Bean also
recognize the clothing and bat aB having
been storn by Garcia, who has been in
the police Btation several timea within
the past few months on charges of
drunkenness.
(iarcia re'iißed to talk when confronted
by his accusers, but finally admitted
that the clothing aud hat were hia, but
stated that he lost them a few nights
ago while he was drunk.
The father of the girl stated tbat he
had seen Garcia in the vicinity of his
house a few days previous to the aseault
upon hie daughter, and that the fellow
waß eeen to chase after two little girls
who were gathering flowera in the cafion
near where the assault was committed.
Teresa, the little girl upon whom the
aeEault was committed, is aged 13 years,
and ie rather bright and her positive
identification is probably correct. In
addition, that of tho young men, and of
l'ol'ee Clerks Cottle and Benson, seems
to mal°6 the identification clear.
A warrant will be issued this morning
and Garcia will be charged with the
crime of attempted rape.

A. L. Biplev, a farmer and stock raiser
living some ih miles north of here, says
the Madera Mercury, was in Madera re
cently. Mr. Ripley gave au account of
an encounter some parties in hia neigh
borhood had not long since with a Cali
fornia lion. Mr. Ripley's nearest neigh
bor, 8. A. Ramuelß, had lost several fino
sheep from hia little band, and up to
Thursday night was unable to determine
what kind of an animal it was that was
committing the depredations. Tbe night
fn question, however, Mr Samuels heard
a commotion among his flock and imme
diately grabbing up a shotgun hurried
to the corral.
He could just distinguish through the
gloom some strcnge creature standing
over a sheep which it had just killed.
Mr. Samuels leveled his gun at tbe noc
turnal marauder and tired. The animal
gave a terrific howl, aud instead oi run
ning away bounded in the direction of
Mr. Sainuelß. This unexoected attack
rather disconcerted the gentleman aud
be made no effort to get out oi tbe ani
mal's way. In a moment the creature
was upon him, and the force of the con
tact caused Mr. Samuels to lose hie grasp
on bis gun. He had begun to think his
last moment bad arrived, but, beyond
the injuries received in tbe way of a
badly lacerated arm, he was nnhurt.
Mr. Samuels lay where be bad been
thrown for some minute l , not daring to
move for fear he would again be at
tacked. Finally, however, he sum
moned up courage to raise himself on his
elbow, and, glancing cautiously around,
saw tbe form of the sheepkiller outlined
upon the ground. Making up his mind
that the animal bad been killed By the
shot, Mr. Samuels cautiously approached
and discovered such to be the caae. Mr.
Sainuels's surprise was great when be
discovered the bloodthirsty prowler to
be nothing less than a very large Cali
fornia lion.
It is generally claimed that these ani
mals are afraid of a man. hut Mr.
Samuels says tie considers them sociable
enough to satisfy any one.
SUPPRESS THEM.
Demoralizing- Psjmri Which Should
Come Under the lian.
"The postal authorities atLos-Angeies
should certainly take some steps for the
suppression of obscene papers, or rather
for preventing their transmission
through the United States mails," said
an observant gentleman yesterday, who
seems disgusted with tho many free and
easy publications tbat flood the mails.
"These papers claim that they are
not obscene. The language doea not
come within the meaning of the law,
but the Insinuations are the West in
the extreme. They are libelous in their
very utterances. Years ago the out
raged people of San Francisco suppressed
the infamouß assignation house black
mailing Bheet, styled the Mazeppa, and
the human leper wbo controlled it
fled the city to avoid well-mer
ited imprisonment. Similar sheets
are in existence now in tbat city and iv
Portland, Ore., and it is abov. time
that the government should prd tect the
people from slander by denyisj such
sheets transportation through tl/e mails.
There ie tfuito a difference between the
liberty of the press and the abuße of
that liberty. These sheets are neither
newspapers nor literary papers. The
object of their publication is plain
blackmail. They corrupt the morals of
the community by pandering to the
vulgar taste, and incidentally breed a
class of criminals whom the taxpayers
support. A Boeiety for tbe suppression
of vice and crime Bhould be organized
for the prevention of the Bale of Buch
papers upon the streets."
