THE sudden death Of Montague,
the actor, ct the Palace Hotel, San
Francisco, Sunday night, il one OF
the numberless combinations of
the scriptusl aphorlsm that in the
midst Of life we are in death. The
writer had several times, within
tho past two weeks. seen this
young man, apparently in the full
flush Of youth, enacting his part,
the cynosurs Of all eyes, IN thea
ire crowded by the beauty and
fashion Of San Ffanci-co. For all
the casual observer c"illd discover,
he was goo! for fifty years yet. He
was the very representation Of
youth, grace and sprightliness, the
''glass of fashion and the mould ol
Of form'' which were dwelt upon
appreciatively through the aid Of
thousands of opera glasses ia the
hands of all that was notable fol
grace and beauty in the Golden
Gale. Montague was one of the
trio, made up of Edmund Booth,
Rignold aud himself, who, In tbeii
stage personnel, were calculated to
give the most vivid impression OF
virility, spring, dash and Vitality.
Yet the glamour of theatrical sue
cess, the gentle appreciation Of wo'
man aud the unstinted ducats
born Ola phenomenal professional
career, no more protected him from
the grasp of death than did the
millions OF Michael Reese their
owner.

THE scene which is to day being
witnessed in our own city, Of mule
teams and wagons conveying grain
to storage, is being reproduced in
every nook and corner of Califor-
mia accessible to railway or boat.
The grain crop of this State is inn
mense, and the significance of this
statement is emphasized by the
telegraphed intelligence Of the
damaged cereal crops of the East.
1t is really a sight to see-the
heaped sacks of wheat and barley
which are seeking San Francisco
from all quarters, confirming Fried
lander's estimate that the present
/, the largest grain crop ever har-
vested in the State. Another nota-

more vessels ia the port of San
francisco waiting for cargoes now

vailed East was d deferred for fully
three years In California, and the
visit IL already drawing to close,
after q comparatively short dura-
tion. San Francisco which, to the
rural visitor, of course seems busy,
has gone through an ordeal unpre-
cedented in its severity. But the
reviving real estate market, the
awakening in building Improve
ments in San Francisco, the enor-
nous grain crops which will focus
at that city, all give promise OF q
prosperity which Is guaranteed by
the renewed activity at the mines.
Nowhere has the cry of distress
been heard more loudly than in
San Francisco, and yet we much
mistake the signs OF the times or u
new era Of prosperity bas Set iii IN
that oity which will ramify all
over the State, and which will as.

Almost a Beecher Scandal IN a Cana
dian Methodist Church.

The Wesleyan Methodist church in
Canada once might have had a sort Of
Beecher scandal, but it didn't. A
venerable Clergyman was riding to the
district conference in the Eastern
townships, somewhere near Stanstead,
his companion in the buggy being a
young, jealous and indiscreet minis
ter, not long stationed in that part of
the country. AS they logged past a
little cross-road tavern the old gentle-
man idicated ID with his whip and
said, Many and many a day I've
been at thattavernyears ago Yes,
said his companion with Indifference.
=" Yes" and a mighty handsome wife
the tavern keeper had too, All!
said the young brother, with surprise.
Yes, continued the elder, she was
one of the h~andsomest women | ever
saw young, pretty, plump, fine color.
and such armsl Many and many a
kiss have | given her when we were
sitting in a big haircloth chair in the
little private sitting room off the bar.
Well, we'll, time flies --and the good
old man gazed at his companion,
whose eyes we're as large as soup
plates, then blushing of a deep beet
red he said, with some confusion
I" Bless me, what have | been sayingY
OF course, brother, you will not
breathe a word of this; lean not
imagine how | came to say anything
about it,but then the tongues is,
etc. The young clergyman gave
the required pledge, and repeated it
when at the end of their drive
the old man besought him earnestly
to remember and not breathe a word
of the matter. But during the after
noon the young minister rose,
and declaring that his conscience
would not longer allow him to bear
the burden he had imposed upon it,
and that he must tell the truth no
matter how terrible the consequences,
informed the astonished brethren that
Brother - had hat day admitted
that he had been guilty of improper
and unchristian conduct toward a
married wOman-nay, more, had re-
cited his sin with an junction which
showed that it had never been sincere
" repented of. 1t is needless to say
that everybody first stared at the
speaker and then at the accused
minister, who, for a hundred miles
around, had won an enyiable reputs-
ton for uprightness and purity. The
accused buried his face in his hands,
and the chairman desired the young
brother to repeat his startling accuse
ton with details. The young clergy
man did so, and when he announced
that the other member Of the guilty
pair was a woman whose name he
did not know, but whose husband kept
a tavern at 49, Corners, was e%lectri-
fed to hear the chairman bawl, " Ha
hal hal" and every member Of the
conference go off in paroxysms of
laughter. Can you ~ is it possible
you can smile at such a revelation
said the dumbfounded young minister,
and as soon as the chairman had sufi-
oientiy mastered his emotion to speak
he said. My dear young brother,
before Brother IT. was converted
and entered the ministry, he kept that
tavern T" Thereafter that young min
lister was no less jealous and infinitely
more discreet. 8r

The romantic wanderings Of Au-
gusto Guidi and Clorinda Rotanzzi
have come to an end, They had a dra-
matte beginning, and the termination
was consistently dramatic. Mr.. Barli,
the firm believer in Guilds suicide, the
man who has mourned over the fate
of the gifted exile, was much aston
ished and not a little disguised last
Thursday on receiving a letter from
Guidl. The note was written in a
most respondent vein, and begged
that Barli would on the following day

land, and follow up a trail of red
scraps Of paper until he arrived at the
place where they terminated. There
he should find the dead bodies of Au-

TaImnge,s Love for Rorr.

Rev. Mr.. Talmage says he likes
boys, but not that kind brought up in
parlors, who had kind parents to care
for them, but boys who do not know
how to keep q~uiet--those who know
how TO skate and swim and row and
fly kites, and can defend feeble play
mates, And yet, If a boy who can
not keep quiet goes to his church,
the ianitor leads him out by the car,
and when Mr.. Talmage is going along
the street and is struck back Of the
head with a baseball, or a shinney
caresses his legs, or a kite-string takes
off his best beaver and deposits it in
the mud, his love for the wild sort Of
boy is very apt to undergo a swift and
radical change.

The policemen and fremen ought
to be paid at the end of every month
in money even if everything else goes
unpaid. But the idea Of paying the
police force a months extra pay out
of the relief fund is a shame and a
disgrace. This money was not sent
here for any such purpose. The gen
eral council might just as well vote
away an extra salary to the mayor or a
city attorney, or market master, for
services not performed, as to reach
into that sacred charity fund and pay
off the police.
