HER LOVE WAS
NOT LASTING,
Rosie Olivier Tries to Send
Her Husband to
Prison.
A SELF-CONFESSED LIAR
Testimony Given in the Police
Court Was Badly Con
tradicted.
MAMMA'S BALEFUL INFLUENCE
Mrs. Brady Could Not Forgive Her
Son-in-Law for Marrying Her
Daughter.
Manuel Olivier's dream of love is shat
tered. Manuel is a. son of the sunny
Fouth and Joyed ordently, but it seems
that the object of his affections was un
worthy of the efforts he made to win her.
Yesterday, in Judge Belcher's court, the
girl he once went to jail for deliberately
acknowledged herself a liar and a perjurer,
in order if possible to send him again to
prison.
Less than four months ago Olivier was
a roomer at the house of Mrs. Esther
Brady, 14:5 Minna street. He fell in love
with Rosie Brady, the daughter of his
landlady, a young woman whose ace is
shrouded in even more mystery than is
usual on that point with most members of
the gentler sex. Rosie loved Manuel too,
or at least she felt at that time that life
with him would be preferable to one spent
in the domicile of her mother.
At any rate, Mrs. Brady woke up one
fine morning to lind thai her daughter
had eloped with the lodger, and at one
cad blow she bad been bereft of a child
and an income of $3 per week. Mrs. Brady
has not the most angelic temper in' the
world, and when she realized the fell extent
of her loss she feil into a tine frenzy and im
mediately posted off to police headquar
t-rs and swore out a warrant for Olivier's
arrest on a charge of abduction.
Before the lovesick couple could be ap
prehended they were married, and so the
nlduction charge fell flat. Not to be
balked in her revenge, Mrs. Brady then
obtained a warrant charging her new son-
tmile Hestres. the Pioneer Who Has Been Missing for Two Weeks.
in-law with perjury for having sworn that
I) is bride was over IS years old when he se
cured the marriage license. Olivier spent
Beveral days in jail and the aged head of
the Brady family liurrced as much as she
could of her abuadant anatomy for very
joy.
At the preliminary hearing in the Police
Court Rosie stood up quite bravely for her
husband and took all the blame on her
self. She swore that Manuel believed her
almost 10 years of age, and that she had
on every iccasion so informed him, giving
as her reason for so doing her love of him
and her desire to get away from her
mother's home.
Yesterday when Rosie was put on the
Maud in Judge Belcher's court she shower l
that she had experienced a wonderful
change of heart. Although married less
than a half year she acknowledged that
fche would not go back to her husband.
.She has returned to the sheltering arms of
Mamma Brady, and her testimony no
doubt pleased that amiable person.
M ra. Olivier swore that she is not yet 18
years of age, that sjhe lied in her testimony
j:iven in the Police^ Court, and denied that
she had ever on any occasion told her bus
band tbat she was of age.
In direct contradiction to this testimony
Olivier's attorneys introduced in evidence
a letter which the witness acknowledged
having written some time during last
January. It reads as follows:
Dear ifaniicl, or Dcnr Husband: I got your
note and was glad to hear that you were
dreumingof me. AVhy, dear Manuel, I dream
of you nearly every night.
Well, Manuel, you will want to know about
my age, go now I am going to tell you the
whole story. My aunt had a spat with ma
about a year ago, so I went to see her shortly
after that and we got talking about ases, so
•wnen I said I am 17 this Fourth (July 4)— that
is the last Fourth— Manuel, why you should. -cc
her look at me, and then she told me that I
was six months older than her daughter, and
her daughter was born in January, bo by riijht
1 will be 19 next Fourth; and one night about
five or six months ago my aunt was talking
about ages before ma, and when ma said I was
only 17 she whs just going to speak up, and I
just looked over in time to see ma make a
i-ign to my aunt, and then they stopped talking
on that subject.
So now. dear Manuel, I have told you all
about my age, so I am going to let ma have
her own way about my age, because, Manuel,
J aon'i want to have any trouble with, her, be
cause you know, Manuel, your mother is your
best friend and I never let on thai I was told I
was older, for it would make her feel mad.
Now, dearest. I want you to understand this :
I have a daughter's love for my mother, cer
tainly as a good girl always has, and when she
f-ays i shall not do a certain thing I never do
it, not because I fear her, you see, but just be
cause I love h<T dearly, for a girl that is true
lo her mother la always truer to her husband.
And now, dear Manuel, in spite of all that I
think so much of you, and I love you so, Man
uel, that when yoii are ready no one on earth,
either mother or father, can stop me from be
coming your wife. Weil, dearest, r.b 1 have no
more to say, I draw to a close, hoping you will
be pleased with my note and excuse my mis
takes, as I had a bad chance to-iay to write or
take my time, so pood-by, honey. From your
true Boeie, or your true wife,
Mrs. OLIVIER * * *
P. S.— Yes, Manuel, we will, in spite of all.
The stars at the bottom of the letter, it
was explained, meant kisses.
In charging the jury, Jtidse Belcher
said he did not think that Olivier should
have been held by the police court. In
sp"ite of this, when the twelve good men
and true returned their verdict, the de
fendant was found guilty as charged and
recommended to the utmost mercy of the
court.
Olivier will be up for sentence on Satur
day if he is not granted a new trial before
that time,
Suit for Damages.
James Burke, a teamster, formerly employed
by Knglander Bros., has sued Seurle & Holt for
Sp:J0,000 damages for injuries sustained by
reason of being knocked irom his wagon. He
was loading paper in seventy-pound bundles
at the Golden (rate warehouse when a bundle
thrown by an employe of Searle & Holt hit
him and knocked him from the wapon, inflict
ing injuries which he claims are ptrmunent.

Imanity Case*.
Judge Hebbaril yesterday sent Abraham Ro
senfeld of 1919 Ellis street and James \V. Mar
tin of 932 Capp street to the Napa Asylum.
They are insane. Kosenfeld imagines he is the
most intelligent man in the world, and Martin
that he is in constant communication with the
devil.
EMILE HESTRES MISSING.
Once He Owned Half a Million,
but Speculation Ruined
Him.
Built the First Theater in Stockton.
A Legacy From Signor De
La Vega.
Emile Hestre 5 , a Frenchman, who came
to this City in 184!t, was well known in the
northern mines and in this City, dis
appeared from his home on the movr.ing
of the 7th of this month and has not been
seen since.
Mr. Hestres, upon his arrival in this
City, like many others, remained but a
short time and then started for the north
ern mines, and finally located in Stockton,
where he engaged in commerce. One of
the enterprises he engaged in was the pur
chase of a flour mill at Knight's Landing
from Colonel Dent, who became the
father-in-iaw of General U. S. Grant.
While in Stockton, so some who have
known him for many years say, he built
the tirst theater in that place. During the
early days of the minintr excitement on j
the Comstock, he closed out his business |
in Stockton and then came to this City j
and engaged in the purchase and sale of ;
mining stocks.
He dealt extensively in Justice and j
Raymond <fe Ely, and his investments I
realized him not less than $15,000 a month. '
His broker, the late Henry Schmidell, at
one time advised him to sell out when he
would clear up $600,000, but he wanted to
make a million, and in his endeavor to se- i
cure that he, like many other speculators, i
lost all. He managed after that to do a i
little in the speculating line and held the
secretaryship of some mining companies, j
but as age advanced he was unable to con- I
tinue in this line of bnsiness, so he de
voted his attention to making collections
on commissions.
About twelve years ago he rentea a
room at 609 Pine street and remained
there until the day of his disappearance, j
Mrs. Juiie Quercy. the landlady, stated
yesterday that she has kent the house one i
year, during which time Hestres paid his !
rent regularly until last month, when he
became delinquent. Mrs. Quercy, taking
pity on the old man, furnished him a
Bowl of soup every evening, and he prom- i
ised to repay her kindness, but up to the !
time of his disappearance he had tailed to j
do so. During the time she has had |
charge of the house Hestres never had
but two visitors, a middle-aged woman
who was always accompanied by a boy j
about seven years of ace. Who this i
woman is Mrs. Quercy did not know, but I
on one occasion heard Hestres say that |
she was his srodchild.
When Sigrnor de la Vetra, the million- !
aire old Californian, died he he by his will '
left $1000 to Hestres. and this has been |
paid to him monthly in small sums, about \
$10 at a time.
About two months ago a divorced
woman named Magendie, but who after
her divorce was known as Mrs. Schaffer, ;
died and Hestres attended her funeral.
After that his mind seemed to be affected
and he did not seem to be like his former
self. This grew to such a degree that one j
or two of his old customers, who still cm- j
ployed him to collect rents for them, dis- ;
charged him, fearine to trust him. On j
two previous occasions he lost bis way in j
the Mission district and when found wan- j
dering around he was unable to tell where !
his home was. On one occasion i c was i
kept by some kind-hearted people for j
three days. It is likely that he has wan- I
dered away and has been taken charge of j
by some family anxious to learn who he is. j
At one time Hestres was interested in a !
number of quicksilver mines with the late
Theodore Le Roy and a number of prom
inent members of the French colony.
In order to make people keep their
distance it is necessary first to keep your
own.
THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 24, 1836.
BUCKLEYITES ARE
ALL ON DECK,
The Biggest Meeting Held
Since the Split
Occurred.
NUMBERS AND HURRAH.
The General Committee Prepares
for a Future Municipal
Convention.
O'BRIEN STILL IN THE FOLD.
Declaration of War, Hope of Peace,
Loyalty to the Dollar Limit
and Speeches.
The Buckley regular Democratic Gen
eral Committee held the biggest and most
enthusiastic meeting in its history at
I B'nai B'rith Hail last evening. It will
not hereafter be hinted by the coterie of
the Flood building that the Buckleyites
| are whipped off the face of the earth or
■■ that they will be breaking their necks to
! get into the Junta camp.
The organization which was denied
! recognition by Frank Gould at Sacra
j mento, last night emphatically declared it
j self the re.ular and legal party organiza-
I tion, ordered a primary to elect delegates
j to a municipal convention to be held in
September, ordered headquarters .opened
in each Senatorial district, resolved to re
mind the four Democratic Supervisors
! that they were elected on a dollar-limit
platform and loudly cheered men and
| speeches expressive of the determination
to stand boldly together and win.
There cropped out in two or three of the
speeches the general belief and desire that
i the party would, however, be united
I through a fair primary which would give
| the Democratic voters a chance to create
j one party organization. But until that
j comes the Buckle yites will hold and mass
| and play their strength to its fullest ci
i tent.
The chaira in the hall provided seats for
i about half those present. Men stood
! three deep along the side wall, packed the
rear of the hall and tilled the gallery.
Chairman Joseph Piothschild called the
meeting to order and Secretary D. M.
Gavigan's rollcall showed the presence of
386 members of the committee. Most of
the delegates to Sacramento and about 300
spectators were also present.
"Well, now, are we the people or are the
other fellows?" was jubilantly asked a
hundred times when the typical Demo
cratic San Francisco mass-meeting had
pawed tne sawdust into moistened disor
der and the touacco smoke had spread its
haze.
Five cheering? and one bunch of his3e3
interrupted the rollcall. Dr. D. F. Reagan,
who went to the enemy some time ago and
became a delegate to Chicago, was hissed.
James H. O'Brien, who iiatl been report
ed in the Kainev camp while he was at the
Santa Cruz carnival, answered "Here" all
right and the boys hurrahed. Thomas
Ashworth got his usuitl applause, as did
Recorder Giynn and Railroad Commis
sioner Btanton.
Frank Malloye offered the following
resolution orderinc a primary election and
giving the executive committee general
power and discr tion where the interests
of the faction are concerned:
Stsolved, That in pursuance of section 3.
anicle 1, of the constitution of the General
Committee, a cull is hereby made for the pur
pose of holding a primary for the election of
delegates to a municipal nominating conven
tion to be held in the City and County of San
Francisco not lp.ier than Beptember 15, 1896.
Besolved, That in accordance with section 1,
article- V, ot the constitution, the number of
delegates composing s*id municipal conven
tion -imil be 4so, apportioned as follows: To
each Assembly district twcity-thrt l -? delegates,
to be elected by the district clubs of the As
sembly district; two delegates at large lor
each Assembly district, to be elected by the
voters of tiie eighteen Assembly district clubs,
Jtcsolved, That pursuant to article VI, sec
tions 1, 2 and 3, of theconstitution, candidates
lor the Senate shall be nominated by the
Bevernl Assembly district clubi embraced in
each Senatorial district; that candidates for
the Assembly shall be nominated by the As
sembly district club in each Assembly dis
trict : "lhat the nominees for members of the
Legislature, when elected by the district club,
shall be reported to the municipal convention
for indorsement.
Resolved, That the executive committee be
and hereby is empowered to designate days
and dates for future enrollment of members
in district c'.ubs; day and date of making
nominations for delegates to municipal con
; ventiou and Legislative candidates; also date
i of holding primary election in accordance
j with articles I, II and 111 of the constitution
. governing district clubs, and to make any and
! all arrangements to curry out these resolutions
and to uttend to nil details in furtherance
| thereof and report the same to this committee.
Resolved, That the executive committee is
i further empowered to personally perform any
act that may be necessary to protect this com
mittee and the Democratic party in all its
I rights.
The resolution was adopted with a
! whoop, as was the following one, intro
! duced by T. J. Powers, declaring loyalty
: to the dollar limit:
Whereas, The tax-levy for the ensuing year
; is about to be considered by the Board of
i Supervisors, and among its members arc four
Democrats, elected on a platform pledged 10
the dollar limit; therefore, be it
Rttnlvcd, That we, the members of the Gen
j eral Committee, request that the executive
i committee of this body appoint a committee
to work. ui'Oii said .uemocratic Supervisors
and call their attention to the platform
| adopted at Union Hall beptember 11), L 894,
! and upon which they were elected, and which
we reaffirm and believe to be sufficient for the
purposei of conducting the present City gov
ern m-nt, as has been proven by many years
j of Democratic rule.
A resolution by James Eagan, author
izing the executive committee to open
j headquarters in each Senatorial district,
followed.
M. J. Donovan, chairman of the execu
tive committee, offered amid.applause the
j following resolution, which was quickly
adopted :
Whxbeas, The Genernl Committee of the
Deiuocratie party of the City and Couuty of
; Shu Francisco, of which Joseph Rothschild is
\ the president, is the only legal representative of
: the Democratic party of this City and County,
I. iivmg succeeded to all thu rights and powers
'■■ of all previous committees: therefore belt
Resolved, That the executive committee of
tins (ieneral Committee be and hereby is mi
i structed to proceed to acquire and reduce to
• possession, on behalf of this committee and for
I the use and benelit of this committee, any
i money or property of this committee or its
I : edecewor, in the hands of any person or per
sons, and upon acquiring control of the same
I to turn it over to the treasurer of this com
j xnittee.
The election of Matt O'Donnell as a
; member from the Forty-third District and
j of T. J. Casserly lrom the Thirty-sixth
j was approved.
This ended the business of the meeting,
| and the speeches and hurrah followed.
Dr. Stan ton received an ovation as he
j went to the platform, where he briefly
I said:
You all know the story of the State Conyen
■ tion. Through a series of misrepresentations
and the tricks of Mr. Gould's programme our
delegation was not seated, but a visit to this hall
to-niglit wouid settle anybody's doubts as to
which organizntion repiesented the regular
Democracy. At Sacramento the Junta tried to
I gain a promise thai they would not be hurt in
I San Francisco. That was their only fear. The
i question as to whether or not this organization
shall go in and administer the affairs of the
party rests with you.
Colonel O'Byrne poure< forth his elo
quence loyally. He told that the creden
tials committee at Sacramento adopted
the unit rule so as to wholly squelch the
friends they had in the committee.
"I would like to know," said Mr.
O'Byrne, *'if the Junta people could mus
ter such a gathering as this. There is
such an intense respectability among
many of the Junta Democrats that they
would shrink from clasping the hard,
horny hands of man3 r men in this body
who are true to their country and who
are ready to sustain their country in peace
or in war. Of such Democrats is this body
composed.
"I have taken a stand with this organi
zation and I will be true to the men I
stand with. In unity there is strength.
The enemy may try to break up this
organization by taking men away in de
tail, and if that is the policy ol the Junta
I ask you to stand firm and no', desert
your friend and neighbor. In ancient
Greece, neutrality in time of war was
punished with death, and he who
now fails falls or remains neutral
deserves political death. This is not the
time for oratory. The serried ranks are
not face to face. When that time comes
I, who come from a race that never turned
back to friend or foe, will stand with you,
and if we all stand together the people
shall rule here in this free and glorious
country of ours. 1 '
There were cries for Dunne, but Feter P.
Dunne was not present and M. J. Donovan
responded to howling calls. He spoke of
Sacramento, the packed jury, the billings
gate that was successfully opposed to evi
dence, and the 113 votes' for gold in the
Junta delegation.
"This committee has done one thine,"
continued Donovan. "We forced the
Junta to nominate James G. Maeuire for
Congress. This is evidenced by thefa^t
that less than one-half of the Junta dele
gation voted to send him to Chicago. We
will keep on until we have not only
elected Maguire, but a municipal ticket
from top to bottom."
James 11. O'Brien declined to take the
platform when orders to that effect were
howled at him.
"A flew months ago," he said, "at Metro
politan Hall, they said, 'We will adjourn
this committee sine die and you will never
hear of them again.' " They said
they adjourned sine die, but they
found us in the ring. Then they
said, 'We will get the State Committee
to recognize us and that will be the end of
them.' The State Committee recognized
them, and then they said, 'Well, the State
Convention will end all trace of them.'
Tie State Convention has been held and
here we are, never having held so large a
meeting as this of to-night.
"I suppose you have heard that I've
been heralded as a candidate for Sheriff,
but I am not a candidate for Sheriff or
anytaing else within the gift of the Demo
cratic party. I am satislied to be a
humble member of this General Commit
tee, which is the Democratic organization
ot San Francisco."
T. E. Treacy said that they represented
three-fourths of the Democratic voters.
He advised going slowly in the interest of
the whole party when a great issue was at
t-take, and spoke of the absolute necessity
of uniting the party.
"All we want," he said, "is a fair pri
mary under the auspices of a fair election
board, giving every good Democrat a
chance to cast his ballot and have it
counted once. If that can bo we will have
a solid Democracy."
Frank J. Failon and Walter J. Gallagher
also spoke and then an adjournment to
the call of the chair was taken.
A. J. Clunic was conspicuous at the
meeting, but by his absence.
STOPPED BY A BEAR.
Fearful Suspense of a Tourist
on a Mountain
Pass.
A Frightened Horse Almost Racked
Its Driver Over a Preci
pice.
Black and brown bear are sihpularly
numerous this year in the mountains east
and west of Cloverdale, and hunting par
ties are being organized for the purpose
of having a little sport in chasing sny and
artful bruin throueh the mountainous
districts where the "berry-hunters" nave
recently been seen.
Last week a gentleman named Wagner.
who was driving from Highland Sprinas
to Pietn, had a very narrow escape from
being mashed into smithereens all be
cause of the sudden and unexpected ap
pearance of a bear, which was evidently
on its journey toward the coast.
Mr. Wagner was fortunately driving a
very docile animal, to whose good be
havior he attributes his success in having
escarwd with his liie.
"I had just reached about half way be
tween the springs and Pieta," said Mr.
Wagner, "when suddenly the horse 1 was
driving stopped, then reared up on hi 3
hind feet and commenced to snort. To
put it mildly, I was in the deuce of a fix,
because where the trouble commenced the
road was narrow and over my left
shoulder I could easily look down 600
feet into a canyon which was awful to be
hold, ■with its treacherous-looking bowl
ders and jagged rocks which were pro
jecting from the side of the mountain.
"In an instant I concluded that my only
hope was to get the animal on the move
and I applied the whip briskly to his
Hanks, as I was apprehensive lest in case
lie continued to back the buggy would
certainly be forced off the roadbed, and in
that event horse, buggy and driver wouid
go down to perdition.
"You can rest assured that my heart
beat more freely when the horse, obedient
to the whip, started on a run down the
road, and it was at least a mile from the
spot where the trouble commenced when I
got him under subjugation. 1 could not
even surmise what on earth caused the
animal to act in such a strange manner
until I reached Pieta, when I was in
formed that the horse must have either
got the scent of a bear or had seen the ani
mal close at hand.
"On the following day some of the boys
who reside near Pieta got their hounds to
gether and started off at early morning on
a bear hunt. They found tue trail of' old
bruin, and his footprints were plainly dis
cernible on the dust of the road, and
within 100 yards of the spot where I had
such a very unpleasant and unlooked-for
experience.
"Old bruin had evidently made fast
tracks from that part of the country. He
probably was as frightened as the horse I
was driving, and did not remain over to
investigate the cause of the confusion he
had created by having put in such a very
unwelcome appearance. The hunters re
turned without having had an opportunity
of bagging big game. The trail was too
old and the dogs lost it after having fol
lowed it a mile or so in the direction of the
coa=t range."
A day or two after Mr. Wagner had such
a close call a sheep-herder drove into the
town of Cloverdale with a 500-pound black
bear which he had shot on a sheep range
about ten miles west of Cloverdale. The
brute was purchased by a butcher of
the town and shipped to this City. Pos
sibly it may have been the same shaggy
tramp which made matters so very un
pleasant for Mr. Wagner in his ride from
Highlond Springs to Pieta.

Resolutions have been passed 'by the
Merchants' Association heartily indorsing
the project to hold the convention in this
j City. The resolutions recite the manifest
I benefits to be derived from such a gather
! ing and call upon the business and pro
| fessional men of the City to assist effect-
I ually those who are working to bring the
; convention here.
The committee having the enterprise in
hand have issued a circular letter to the
i business men nnd' citizens of the City.
J This letter sets forth : the history of the
I movement and shows by comparison 10 ■
amounts demanded by less numerous or
ganizations the modesty of their request.
All the pledge they require is $25,000, or
one-fourth of the amount so readily se
cured for the prospective Republican con
vention. It is stated in conclusion that
\V. 11. Crocker, president of the Crocker-
Woohvorth Bank, has consented to act as
treasurer, so subscribers can rest assured
that every dollar subscribed will be prop
erly vouched for.
In answer to this letter Hueh Craig,
president of Ihe Chamber of Commerce,
has written to the committee, assuring
them of the support of the body which he
represents. "
TO MAKE COTTON GOODS
Shanghai Will Crush Out India's Com
petition and 3lay Threaten This
Country.
There is a great industrial and manu
facturing revival in Shanghai since the
I China-Japanese war, says George W.
Noell, who for the last twenty-one years
has been a constant resident at thut Ori
ental seaport, and who is a well-to-do
commission merchant and broker among
the foreign residents there.
Five new cotton-goods factories are be
ing erected. They will be in full opera
tion before the end of the year.
Large quantities of cotton are grown by
the Chinese in the country inland from
the port, so that there will be home pro
duction and manufacture and a large home
consumption of the output of the mills.
This will tend, said Mr. Noell yesterday
at the Palace, to decrease and almost to
supplant the goods formerly imported
from India.
Already there are 150,000 spindles in op
eration, and when the new factories shall
have been completed 200.000 more will be
at work turning out cotton fabrics.
Women and children are and will be the
I principal employes, as the work of tending
j the frames is ::ot complicated or particu
! lady ditiicult. They work for about a
! cent and a half a day, gold value, and that
is cheaper than the wages the coolie
receives.
In addition to the great impetus that
I has been given to the manufacture of cot
ton, the silk-spinning business has also
' taken on new life. Fourteen or fifteen
I silk filatures are in the process of con
j struction. In them silk will be spun from
j the cocoon and prepared for the weaver
i and manufacturer of silk goods.
Mr. Noell arrived from i 1 c Orient on the
• Coptic and ia bound for England, where
i he proposes to inßkeavisit to his old
home after an absence of a lifetime in
! China. He will resume his journey to
| morrow, when he will start for New York.
Shanghai is a city not so large as San
; Francisco by perhaps 30,000, and the white
population, including women and chil
i dren, is about 4300. Three journals are
1 published, two evening and one morning.
J The morning paper, the North China
Daily News, has been in the field for ov*>r
| forty years, is the official organ, and is too
! well established for any would-be rival to
attempt to compete with it.
From what Mr. Noell has learned during
his long experience in bnanghai, this is
the greatest boom that has ever struck tho
j place. As to its ultimate effect upon tlio
I manufactories of the United States he
j cannot predict.

Group of Hhiskytoxen Mine* Sold.
REDDING, Cal., June 23.— An import
ant mining sale took place to-day. The

Hull property, locjated in Whisiiyton dis
trict, about fourteen miles from Reddiner,
and consisting of the Rising Star, Morning
Star, Milton, GoMen Eagle and Buck

PATRIOTISM AND RELIGION
A Los Angelea Oivine With Somewhat
Contracted Vietea.
LOS ANGELES, Cat.., June 23.— Rey. F.
J. Finley, pastor of the Bellevue-avenne
Methodist Church, does not think that
patriotism and religion go well together.
Borne time aeo the Fourth of July com
mittee addressed a circular letter to all the
members of the pastors of the city request
ing them to deliver a patriotic sermon and
display the National colors in their pul
pits the Sunday before the National cele
bration. Rev. Mr. Finley has replied that
he does not think that the Sabbath or the
church of God should be desecrated by be
ing made a Fourth of July celebration or
gan, nnd he declines to preach the sermon
or allow the pulpit to be draped with the
flag. He deems tba latter sacreligious, too.
