A MAN FROM HE'LL.
He Dersires to Relate His Ex-
perienca and Convert
Others.
A Good Work that Should Be
Encouraged.
A Free Lecture at Renshaw Op.
era House Tonight.

Ben. Hogan, the renowned (for
mer) prize fighter, smuggler, gam
bier, pirate, and almost every thing
else that is necessary to constitute tn,
| character OF the "wicketest man il
the world,' will lecture tonight il
The Renshaw Opera House, and re
late his experiences and the folly o
the life he formerly led, and en-
deaVer to influence Othels to reform
as he has done Several years age

and similar headlines, were too fire.
quently seen in the eastern papers.
Ben Hogan claims to have been con-
verted. His career during the past
few years seems to warrant full be-
lief in the fact that he is sincere. He
advances the strongest argument re-
corded in support of the reality of a
direct interposition of what he calls
the ''grace of the Almighty God" in
his behalf His argument is this:
He could not have been converted
through reading the bible, because
he could not read. He could not
have been Influenced by religious in-
structions, because he had never had
any. TO whatever eAtraneous in
tluence it is to be attributed, the fact
remains thai he was radically
changed. The strongest test Of q
mans sincerity when he processes to
reform is the moral courage he dis
plays in facing and combating with
the influences by which he was for
merly controlled. II requires courage
to confess wrong; but to exert every
faculty, every means at ones dis
posal to rectify a wrong, despite the
opposition of those to whom the
wrong was done, is the very highest
evidence of sincerity, and requires Il
degree Of moral courage which must
command the respect of the most
skeptical. Ben Hogan has done all
this, and is now trying 10 reclaim
people from the ruination into which
his pernicious influence had dragged
many before. Is this not a noble Ob-
ject? is this not worthy Of the sup
port of every man-be he member of
a church or otherwise? The writer is
identified with no church, but his
warmest sympathies are enlisted for
the man, who, in the endeavor to do
what he thinks is right. throws aside
riches and the pleasures to which he
had become accustomed and devotes
his life to the elevation of his kind
instead of to their degradation.

erce OF the Anti MonopolisIs The proce eed-
iues were msrked with good order, all pres-
ent having been recognized as delegates. The
Committee on Resolutions was not ready 10

speeches on the advissbiiity OF organizing a
new party, and the stand ii should take on the
tariff. Lstters of encouragement from anti
monopoly bodies, from Oregon apd New
Jersey, was read on the imposing objects for
which the sssemblsge had been called.
Mr.. Brand, delegate from N=braska, while
in favor Of free trade, was willing to put the
question asid6, provided the platform con-
Iemplated the suppression of all kinds OF
monopoly, aud particularly railroad monop-
oily.
Samuel Crocker, OF Iowa, characterized
the presen. tariff system as a scheme of rob-
berry, and he asserted that the delegates from
mis- State were not present 10 keep quiet on
questions which inyolveu the robbery of the

vention to con6ne itself to the question ol
anti monopoly, and not to attempt 10 organ
