A Noble School.

Miss Sharp Ga missionary sent out
by the Woman's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Methodist Episcopal
Church) said one day to her little
Negro scholars in West Africa:
GA poor Congo woman wants me
to take her little girl 'sTake her !
take her! p exclaimed the children in
chorus.
ssBut I do not feel as if l could
feed more than | now have she an
swered. They thought awhile, and
then the eldest said, elf we could
work and earn something we could
buy the food"
'sYes, but / know of no one who
has any work you could do"
After some talk in Kroo, one of
them said, ''Take her, cook the same
as now, and we will give her a part
off each ones plate till she have plen-
ty, only take her and teach her about
God"
What made it the more touching
was that none had more than they
really wanted for themselves, and
that other tribes very much dislike
Congo people yet they were all will
ing gladly to divide what they had
even with a Congo child. Within
four weeks after the news was re-
celved in England of the murder OF
Bishop Harrington in the heart OF
Africa, the Church of England Mis-
sionary Society had fifty offers fol
the missionary service in that field
The apostolic spirit still dwells il

Banners.

In the Bible the mention of banners,
standards and ensigns is frequent. In
the second chapter of Numbers and
econd verse, Every man of the child
rem of Israel shall pitch by his own
standard, with the ensign of their
fathers house." And, in the thirty
fourth verse: $50 tney pitched by their
standards, and so they set forward,
every one after their own families ac-
cording to the house of their fathers"
And, again. when the Israelltes are
marching from Sinai to Paran. ''In the
first place went the standard of the
camp of the children of Judah, accord
Ing so their armies" There are other
numerous instances, too numerous TO
quote, from Isaiah, Jeremiah and the
Canticles; it is sufficient to point out
how by the time of the Psalms, the
banner had become so we'll recognized
as the symbol of a common sentiment
and rallying point of a common force,
to remind them of past resolves, past
deeds, past heroes, that in the siXtieth
Psalm David sings: Thou hast given
banner to them that fear Thee, that IT
may be displayed because of the truth.
This, then, in those times was the use
of the flag, nor was there then any
thing personal in it; though to be sure,
old foolish heralds have been found to
blazen Joshua's shield--party per bend,
or, and gues; have given to David
azure harp, or, and gules, the arms
of Ireland and to Judas Maccab@us
dealt out two ravens in pale, proper.
Nor have they been ashamed to
announce the grandson of Noah, with
his scepter royal, in pale, unsigned at
top with an eye sol, as the inventor OF
armorial ensigns and heraldic devices.
Ii Noah's grandson did own any such
engine it was initiated no doubt, from
one of the Egyptian hieroglyphics. and
stood for some word of command.
Among the Egyptians the several com
panies carried standards, models OF
sacred animals and emblems, and the
Kings name figured in some fashion on
a board, and the Assyrans had much
the same, of which there are two
noticed by Six Henry Layard, one
man drawing a bow and the other OF
two bulls running in opposite dlrec-
tions, supposed to be the embiems OF
war and peace attached to Darius
chariot. The Persians had an eagle
fixed on a lance and braZed sun on
the Generals tent, on which the first
ravs of the sun striking gave the
signal for the march The Greeks in
the earlier times bore armOr on a
spear. and later each city had its
sacred mblem-for Athens, the owl
and the olive; for Corinth, the Pegasus,
and for Thebes, the sphinx, in memory
of Edipus.

The Power of the Gospel.

A few years ago an English ship
landed at the Pitcairn Islands. To
their immense surprise they found
there a church, schools, a clviliza-
ton and Christian nation. 1t al
most baff1ed credulity for the islands
all around were sunken in barbarism,
squalor and canibalism, and that in
creased the wonder; we have not
had a Christian missionary land there
for fifty years, and there has not
been any Christian influence from
outside for fifty years; yet there
was that oasis of Christian blessings.
How is this wonderful state account
ed for? Sixty years before, a YES
sci got in trouble at sea. The ship
was going down, and a sailor, find
ing he could not save much, went to
his trunk and took out Bible which
his mother gave him when he left
home, and he swan ashore with
that Bible in his teeth. The inhab-
itants took that book, and they be-
gan to read 1t. It's influence spread
about, and the schools, colleges and
churches sprang up. How little i'm
Dortance it seemed to be whether
that sailor got that book out Of his
trunk or not. Of how little impor-
lance it seemed to be whether, as he
was swimming ashore he did or did
not drop that book into the breakers.
The Gospel of Christ effected this
wonderOus transformation. The same
Gospel will transform other nations
now in heathenism if we will only
give it to them. r. j. G.

The Nan for Sheriff.

The next Sheriff of Los Angeles county
will undoubtedly be Thomas E. Rowan.
He will poll the full strength of the Dem
scratic party, and draw to himself many
Republican voters, who are sufficiently
independent to vote their honest convic.
tions-to vote for man whom they know
has been faithful in all positions Of trust.
When County Treasurer, years ago, it
was generally conceded that he made the
best Treasurer the county ever had. As
chairman of the Board of Supervisors he
has been most watchful of the peoples
interests. He appeared before the State
Board of Equalization, a short time since,
and after a bitter fight succeeded in get
ting the county assessment reduced about
100000 900, which will result in a net
saving to the county of $4,000. Last
year Mr.. Rowan got a reduction of ten
per cent. by which the county saved $780,
600 in State taxes. Mr.. Rowan is not
only thoroughly competent business
man, but he is gentleman and good fell
low generally. He has hosts OF friends
who will work heartily for his election,
and the people will second their endeav-
ors, for all know that Tom Rowan will
make a frst-class Sheriff. Santa Ana

Anschiag.s Death warrant.

Henry w. Edelman, clerk of Depart
ment No. 1 OF the Superior Court, has
been putting in his leisure moments since
the date OF Anschlag's execution was set,
in engrossing the death warrant to be
served on the condemned culprit on the
18th day of November. 1t is not often
that Los Angeles county clerk has the
opportunity Of making out document
Of this kind, and Mr.. Edelman seems
determined upon making record on this.
He is preparing an elaborate chart, about
three feet square, engrossed in the most
artistic manner, and having figure of the
blind goddess set in the background, as
a reminder to John Henry Fritz that it is
justice that is melting out the punish
ment for his awful crime. Mr.. Edelman
when questioned by a reporter as to
whether he thought Anschlag would ap-
preciate the gingerbread" he was
putting on the instrument, replied that
he was not doing it so much for An
schlag's satisfaction as for the gratifica.
ton of his own peculiar whim. A death
warrant scrawled on scrap of ordinary
paper, if properly signed, sealed and de-
livered, would make the execution of the
condemned man just as legal, and would
be quite as much appreciated by the
principal in the tragedy.

Quite an exciting incident happened
yesterday evening on Mayo street near
Los Angeles. A small boy riding BIZ
cycle started down hill with his feet
hanging free from the pedals. AS his
machine proceeded down the grade it
gained a tremendous momentum and the
small boy, Eddie Wycliff, lost his con-
troll Of it and was unable to steer clear
even Of huge rock on the path where
the sidewalk ought to be. The front
wheel struck the rock and the boy
bounced high in the air one way and
the machine flew the other. This
happened just as the corner was reached,
and lady and gentleman whose names
were not ascertained had Just reached
this point when the boy came down
from the height to which he had been
thrown. The lady was somewhat startled
to find pair of boys legs around her
neck, and the gentleman's head was saved
from injury by his hat, which was knocked
off by the boys arms. No one was in
jured, although the headgear of both lady
and gentleman was considerably disar-

ABOUT THE CITY.
WORK TO BE PUSHED AHEAD.

1t is stated that the matter OF improv-
ing First street will come up in the
City Council this morning. Some time
since the property owners asked that
the City Surveyor make an estimate of
the cost of cutting down the hill between
Hill street and Grand avenue on First
street, and on Monday last the City
Surveyor reported that the cost would be
S2l ,370. 1t was expected that the cost OF
this improvement would be much more,
but the City Surveyor stated in his
communication that the expense would
be limited to the cost of removing the
earth from one portion of this space to
another. In other words he reported
that the fill for the embankment would
be equal to the amount of earth taken
from the excavations. These excavations
estimated upon did not cover anything
except the roadway up to the property
lines. 1t was stated yesterday that the
property owners will petition that steps
bs taken to have this work done at once.
The paving Of First street will, it is
stated, commence very shortly and will
be sent ahead very rapidly. One con-
tractor will commence at Hill street and
the other at the river and they will pave
toward each other. By this means the
street will be completed in about
half the time it would have taken
if the entire street was awarded to one
man. In the meantime the cable road
bed is being put in, and work will COM
mence below Main street very shortly.
The new bridge will probably be in
position by the time these other matters
are completed, and it is estimated that
by January the entire street will be in
perfect order.

this young manager, Mr.. w. S. Cleve-

MIR. w. S. Cleveland, proprietor and
manager Of Haverly's Mastodons, is the
youngest man in the profession filling a
position of this magnitude. Mr.. Cleve-
land has already made two or three
minstrel organizations famous, and after
starting them on the road OF prosperity
has disposed of them to great financial
advantage. His present venture prom
ises to be even more remunerative than
any previous one. He is an indefatigable
worker, personally experimenting any
change that is made in any department,
and scanning critically every line Of ad-
vertising issued by his agents. He
believes in high wages, which accounts
for the excellent talent that constitutes
the best minstrel company on the road.
He has an able corps of lieutenants, who
are selected for their enterprise. energy
and tact to perform their different avo-
cations.

A Sand BagCer.

Just at midnight last night Officer
Ballou, whose beat is on Main street
near the center of town, came upon a
tough looking character who was en-.
deavoring to hide something under his
coat. The officer called upon him to
halt and give an account of himself.
"What have you there ?" asked Ballou.
"It is loaf Of Bread" answered the
man.
"Let me see it."
For answer the man turned suddenly
and began to run. The officer promptly
gave chase. When he was about to
overtake the fellow, the latter turned
and threw at him the stick which he was
carrying. 1t missed its mark, and q
moment later the officer had his hand on
the rascal's collar. The man turned and
aimed blow at him with what the Off
Ger supposed to be club. In few
minutes the weapon changed hands, and
the two proceeded to the station. The
club turned out to be long bag stuffed
with sand, a weapon which the man was
holding ready for some unlucky pedes-
trian whom he might meet in some dark
corner.
The man was searched and put into a
cell. He gave the name Of George Wells
and charge OF vagrancy was entered
against him. The sand bag was about q
foot and a half long ard a little larger in
diameter than window weight. A blow

Lotta,s Deal Not Consummated.

ST. PAUL, October 7.-The "peerless
Little Lotta' is in peck of trouble. The
st. Paul Grand Opera House deal, which
was heralded with such flourish of
trumpets, is at the bottom of it. For
the present the deal is off, and as re-.
suit law suit is on for 500, 900, which
was brought yesterday by the Grand
Opera House Company to recover that
sum from Lotta, $95, 900 for breach of
contract. The complaint alleges that
the plaintiff and defendant entered into a
contract whereby the former agreed to sell
and convey to the latter the opera house
and grounds upon which it stands for the
sum of SLAP 500, 100000 to be paid on
the delivery of the deed of conveyance
and the remainder one year from Sep
tember 10, 1888. On September 10 the
defendant paid the plaintiff on account
$1,000. but has refused to deliver to plain
tiff the balance of the first payment of
100000. A bond for attachment in the
sum of $l90, 900 has been filed and Sheriff
Richter yesterday served it on Lotta's
bank account in the Germania Bank for
the amount of the judgment. 1t is un.
derstood that Miss Crabtree has very
heavy account there.
The reasons given for Lotta's refusal to
close up the deal are various, but an in
side party said that both manager Scott
and the Davidson estate claimed the bill
board privilege and clear title could not
be obtained. Another version is that
Miss Crabtree thought after the deal was
partially consummated that she had paid
too large sum.-[N. Y. World.
