The "Spiritualistic Seances" given
in the Opera House on Wednesday
and Thursday evenings attracted fair
audiences, owing to the low price Of
admission. While many in the au.
dience were mysti6ed we doubt if any
were converted to belief il spiritual.
ism as exempli6ed on these occasions.
The sentiment seems to prevail that
if q spirit can work SO successfully in
the dark, much better and more con-
viucing manifestations might be made
before the eyes of the people. The
lecturer of the evening we believe to
be simplya shrewd manipulation Of
the arts of the magician. Let these
men drape exaggerated phenomena,
myth or mystery in scientific gibber.
ish and they are at once accepted al
the gospel Of nature, the facts of re-
vealed science. Any package of false.
hood and error, no matter how gross
or easily detected. if labeled with this
talisman is hailed as gift from the
gods. We have plenty of references
showing the fallacy of the spiritualis,

In the progress of civilization, how.
ever, the certainties of fixed science

Gradually the magical illusions and

reaching their destined places, "upon

A Baneful Industry.

From the s. F. Daily Report.
 The Chronicle claims to be the special friend and organ of the farm ing interests, but is Sertheless ad- vocating the intro 1eh in this state of an industry that would de- stroy the stock ranges and devastate the farms. It wants to introduce ostrich farming into California. Though the ostrich is noi, like the goat and coyote, indigenous to Cali fornia, its habits are well undersloo by every schoolboy in the state. One ostrich combines the voracity of q pack of coyotes with the rapacity of two hocks of goats. Two hundred acres of stock range would only af- ford it dozen meals, and it eats sheep, hogs, chickens, rail fences, tin cans, stove lids and eucalyptus trees. The Chronicle is no friend of the farmer when it advocates the in- troduction of ostrich farming. There is one advantage, how ever, in ostrich farming, It does not require much cap tai to engage in the business. A good start ill ostrich farming could be made for about S40,0Ue.

SHE CHANGED THE PACKS.
Heartless Cheating at Cards Prac.
 ticed by . Mischiev0us Girl.

Some of the old saints who can't hug the young girls of Zion in balls, and have abolished round dances in consequence, have now invented a new kind of pedro which gives them more of chance. They start card parties at :he evening socials, and whenever anyt ody catches anybody else's pedro the party winning has a right to kiss the other five times. The game is played with an equal division of the sexes, and it is rare fun for the old elders of Israel. The other evening old Bishop - fixed up a pack of cards with nine pedros and started a game right in among some of the prettiest girls of the ward. It happened, however, that the girls anticipated his little game, and had a pack all ready without any pedros ia. They rung in the cold deck on the old fellow and started the game. he old fellow made some big bids, expecting to capture SOuiC pCNAoSs aho Soe oCe odCh Cti tHO board every time. All this time the girls kept cxelaiming: "Oh, ain't this nice game; it's so exc;t;cg.'" After playing an hour, the old fellow didn't see the color of single pedro, and the glances and glggles of the girls caused him to suspect that the daughters of Zion were rather getting the best of him. He finally got so far off the board that he was, compar- atively speaking, out of sight, and finally gave up the place to young man who was seated near by watch ing the game. In twinkle the girls transported the packs again, and the next two hours the sound of smacks that young man won could be heard all over the room. The old bishop, who began to drop on himself, was the maddest man in all the land, and is now putting up & job to find out the girl who changed those packs and cut her off from the church.- Salt Lake Tribune.

THE defacing of Cyrus w. Field's monument to Major Andre, erected at Tarrytown several years ago, says the San Francisco Chronicle, is an outbreak of the local feeling over this tribute to man who was so closely connected with one of the worst instances of treason in the revo- lution. Major Andre may have been fine young soldier, but he was en- gagged in a pad cause when he en- tered into negotiations with Arnold, and no American feels that his mem- ory should be honored. The monu- ment was put'lp by Field as a means of winning favor in the eyes of Dean Stanley, who was an ardent admirer of Andre. It was the act of snob, and was so regarded at the time. The stone ought to remain as mon- umeRt to one of the greatest tuft- hunters.

GOVERNOR PERKINS, of California

GOVERNOR PERKINS, of California, by proclamation, has declared Satur- day next legal holiday, that the people may assemble in mass meet ings throughout the state to give ex- pression to their feelings upon the Chinese bill now before congress. The Governors of Oregon and Ne vada have been requested to take such action on the subject as seems to them best. From our knowled ;e of the deep seated alarm caused by the unlimited influx of the Mongol horde from Asia, upon the eastern shores of the Pacific, we predict a grauJer and more unanimous upris- ing among the people of California than ever before took place Tn that state. Senator Miller has, indeed, a good backing in his constituency.

A MAINE man, with wide opl

A MAINE man, with wide oppor- tunity for investigation, contesses his inability to explain the fact that most of the serious crimes committed n.that snow-bound state are report ed from the small towns where liquor selling is not permitted. Besides,
 hey are concurrent with unusual
 tivity in religious and moral teach
 g. The only theory he puts forth is that of atmospheric influences. If poisonous atmosphere could stirnu- late crime, our city would have been in bad way recently. A man breathing air laden with foul sewer gas might be expected to slosh around wildly and smash 'hirgs. The atmospheric theory is hardly satisfactory. Perhaps there are ways of getting at whisky even in the small Maine towns.-San Francisco Examiner.

The mur. dered Chinese were Whoe Ting, alias Charley, we'll known vegetable peddler, and Pc Hung Pie, son of Mine Pie of this city. They are sup posed to have had between them five or six hundred dollars, and the mo- tive of the murder must have been robbery. The team belonging to the Chinese has not been found. A wagon was sent out today to bring in the bodies of the massacred men. The Chinese of this city have offered a reward of $500 for the arrest and conviction of the guilty parties.

Globe News.
From the Globe Chronicle.

From the Globe Chronicle.
 A miner by the name of James had his leg fractured last Thursday by the fall of bucket in the shaft of the Mack Morris mine. He will, his surgeon thinks, be on his pins again ill two or three weeks.
 This vicinity has been blessed with copious rains during the week. It is state by the oldest inhabitant that Pinal creek has never before been running stream, in its course through Globe, during so many months, and it still flows on.
 The streets of Globe have been alive with talk during the week about the South Pioneer mine. The simple facts are that, on the 1O0-foot level there IS being taken out an ore body five feet in width, between well defnec walls, every inch of which containes mineral, the whole being of a remarkably uniform grade --the average assay made by Mir. E. o. Kennedy from the samples SC. lected through the whole width of the ledge for the purpose of ascer- taining an average, giving result of over sl,O0O per ton. This is a remarkable showing, and those best able to judge, who have examined the mine, proclaim it equal, if not superior, to the celebrated King mine of Pinal.

THE circulation of the statement that David Davis doesn't want to be president is proof that an able, audacious and bril- liant liar has risen among us.--Nugget.
 The same may be said in relation to young and aspiring mining su- perintendent who has lately become interested in the Nugget, and who is said to bean applicant for the posi- ton ,f delegate to Congress from Arizona, and who is also said to have bought into the Nugget for the pur- pose of advancing hls interests in that direction. It would have been in better taste, however, if that young and aspiring candidate for congressional honors had referred to his opponent, Secretary G2sper, in more gentlemanly terms than as a !" gratuitous maligner and the boss liar of the nineteenth century,"

TIE people of the state of Wis., consin, after twenty years trial of the humanitarian no-hanging law, have come to the conclusion that it is failure. The state senate has passed bill to restore the gallows as a penalty for murder Tn the first degree. While we believe there is no form of punishment so corrective for crime as death, we believe that it might be applied in more humane form than hanging-the guillotine for instance. This dropping of man into the air to dangle by the neck in the horrid contortions of a deSH>by strangulation is quite too barbarous for the present age. Let the death penalty be enforced, but let death be sure and instantaneous.
