EDITORS HERALD-In the trial of Lucas
yesterday, Captain Finnegass, of San
Francisco, declared that he would not
believe me under oath. The public of
Los Angeles ought to know who CAPTAIN
Finnegass is and why he says it. have
in my possession for anyone who wishes
to see it, an article from the San Fran
cisco Examiner, of last December, tellin Q
how this Finnegass, when in the employ
of the United States Government, took
$250O as bribe from saloon keeper
named Vaughn, on Front street, San
Francisco, who had manufactured
whisky without complying with the In
ternal Revenue laws. 1t was nv ex-
posure of this and of Finnegass' connec-
ton with the opium frauds, which in
spired his animosity to me, and this is
readily shown by the newspapers of the
time.

A1&AA o.. and if you can do no
XK more you can contribute
a little of that. o how a
far a little money goes! You pay fifty
cents for membership-less than five
cents week. OF this, twenty-five
cents goes to the State Union, which
sends ten cents of it to the national un-
ion to pay salaries of officers and neces-
sary expense. Ofthe twenty-five cents
kept at home, ten cents is sent by each
local union to the county treasurer to
meet county expenses. The other fif-
teen is for the home treasury. Soeyery
cent counts in sustaining the great
whole. If well-wishing gentleman
becomes an honorary member of your
union and pays q dollar, how many
ways there is of using it in buying lit
erature and paying for lectures, dc!
Nor is money all the help we can give
the union. 1t needs our moral and uor
mental support, and we shall be repaid
for all We give. AL over the land there
are in training to-day thousands OF
women, young and old forgreat spheres
Of usefulness than ever before by means
of this work.
They are learning to conduct meet
ings, to control their nerves, To transact
business, to read with purpose, to eX-
press their thoughts reodily and beau
tifully and so benefit themselves and
others by such mental training.
And then if we have no Jail or prison
to visit or sailors or seamen or miners
in our neighborhood, or even the VIC
ious poor to hunt up and labor for-we G
can meet in sweet accord and pray for
those who have them. A Thousand
fold will such efforts be repaid to US,
by our own growth in grace and spirit
ual mindedness, if we are Christian
workers Que soul saved before falling
is better than one secured after ware!
o the power of prayer! We are so III
danger of growing selfish and bIgofed
i'm our own little circles of home and
church, that it is good thing to unite
with others and broaden our views.
We learn to become charitable, more
loving, more Christlike by these union
meetings. We have seen the minds
and hearts of women unfold and open
like the petals of beautiful bud, and
blossom out under the warm, fresh
showers of divine love. See our won
derful leader, Miss Willard, who stands
SO far in advance of the phalanx oi
women pursuing hard after her thai
she seems like an inspired seer looking
far down the line of the ages to come,
and, like the prophet of old, she seems
ready to speak in the present tense OF
what she beholds with enraptured Wis
ion, as she exeiaims: "Let those who
will dance around the May-pole of self
pleasing in the present, and those VINO
must form their procession to the coifir
that enshines the past; but be it ours
to strike out toward the future, fol
truth like light moves in straightiines
and we will seek the truth in life, Law
and custom, as it is In Christ Jesus"

DIR. Talmage illustrates the fearful
force of evil habits: "During the war
of 1872 there was a ship set on fire just
lust above Niagara Falls, and then, cut
loose from its moorings, it came on
down through the night, and tossed
over the falls. 1t was said to have been
a scene brilliant beyond all description.
Well, there are thousands OF men on
fire of evil habits, coming down through
the rapids and through the awful night
of temptation towards the eternal
plunge. Oh, how hard it is to arrest
them! God only can arrest them. sup
nose man after five, or ten, or twenty
years of evil doing resolves to do right.
Why, all the forces ofdarkness are aiii-
ed against him. He cannot sleep
nights. He gets down on his Knees IN
the midnight and cries: "God help
me!n He bites his lips. He gri3ds his
teeth, He clenches his fist in deter
mination to keep his purpose. He dare
not look at the bottles in the indoW
of wine store. 1t is one long, bitter,
exhaustive, hand-to-hand fight with
infiamed, tantalizing and merciless
habit. When he thinks he is entirely
free, the old inclinations pounce upon
him like pack of hounds with Their
nluzzles tearing away at the HANKS OF
one poor reindeer. In Paris there is
sculptured representation of Bacchus,
the god of reveIry. He is riding on a
panther at full leap. Oh! how sugges-
tive! Let every one who is speeding
on bad ways understand he Is not rid
ing d docile and well-broken steed, but
he is riding q monster wild and blood
thirsty, going at death leap. How
MANY there are who resolve on better
life. and say: "When shall awake?''
but seized on by their old habits cry
"I will try it once more; will seek II
vet again!' Years ago, there were
some Princeton students who were
skating and the ice was very thin, ano
some one warned the company bacf
from the air hole, and finally warned
them entirely to leave the place. bu'
one young man with bravado, after al
the rest had stopped, cried out: "on'
round nore!u He swept around, anc
went down, and was brought out
corpse. My friends, there are thous
ands and tens of thousands OF men los
ing their souls in that way. 1t Is TINT

That Electric Road.

EDITORS 11ERALD-ln reply 10 a COM
munication signed "Many Eastside Tax
Payers" as published in the HERALD of
to-day, would like to show the fallacy
and nonsense contained therein. 1t is
very evident that the writer of the above
who pretends to speak for many, can af.
ford the luxury OF horse and carriage,
or else lives within easy reach OF the pro.
posed cable system now being construct
ed to the Eastside, and not in the Arroyo
Seco district, which will be very little
benefited by the cable lines but on the
contrary will be greatly benefited by the
construction of the electric road, for
which a franchise is now asked from the
Council. While the present cable COM
pany is to be commended for its
why others with equal enterprise
and capital should be prevented from
entering into competition, particularly as
the electric line is to run through the
portion of Arroyo Seco now being thickly
populated by an industrious population.

that it will land them in the heart of the
city for one fare, without change OF cars,
whereas at present they have to walk
great distance to the cars that run on
Downey avenue or else take the Glendale
road and change cars in order to reach
the center of the city, all of which entails
additional expense as we'll as delay. 1
infer from the tenor of the writer before
referred to that he would have
the City Fathers refuse to grant
the franchise to the electric company
with the probability that Sin the near
future" some unknown individuals NAV
put street cars on the same line, etc. As
a protection to the few, who for some un-
known reason yet undiscovered in the
laws of nature, object to everything new
designed to keep pace with the require
ments OF civilization, l would provide
the front OF each electric car with life
size reproduction, either on canvass or
by model, of pair of 1.-The 70O-pound un-
fortunate mules now doing duty to trans
port 5000 pounds of humanity, (sixty
passengers), between the east and west
sides of Los Angeles. 1t would not re-
quire any great ability either in art or
mechanism to produce the proper degree
of animation in the models, almost equal
to the original, and thus for the benefit
OF the few objectors and the animals
they may drive create the necessary
optical delusion in order tc avoid the liza
bility to accident.

he is right. Mescal, however, has the

Horses Disanpear.

William Bard, who lives near Kurtz
street bridge, staked out couple of
horses on a vacant lot near his house
yesterday morning. A little later when
he looked in on the lot the horses were
gone. He was informed that couple of
Italians had taken possession of them
declaring that they had leased the
ground aud they proposed to take the
horses to the pound. He went imme-
diately to the pound but the horses we're
not there. nor could they be found any
where. The last any one saw of them,
they were being driven up Alameda
hunting for those Italians and his horses.
