GUS Williams.

A brief sketch of the plot of Kep-
piers Fortune is as follows: Keppler
(Mr. Williams, who is butcher,
possesses a wife above him in educa-
cation and position, and two daught-
ers. The family is suddenly lifted to
position and wealth, and after holding
that position for time, during which
time the husband, who cannot throw
off his old habits, continually shocks
his wife by his remarks and manners,
the usual heiress, in the form of
dressmaker, turns out to be the cousin
who inherits the wealth supposed to
have been left to Keppler by broth
er in Germany. The butcher returns,
to bis old home and becomes a politi-
clan. Here a reconciliation is arrived
at between the eldest daughter and
himself, he having turned her out of
his home Of wealth, because she in
sisted on marrying a poor man. Dur
ing the play Mr.. Williams will sing
his latest song, From the Cradle to
the Grave" and also perform his COM
c piano solo, said to be very funny.
Mr.. Williams has surrounded him
self with very strong company
which is highly spoken of by the press.
ooh! What a Night" to be given dur
ing the week, has also been a great
drawing card throughout the Fast.

the wealth of Los Angeles county
alone is countless. There is more
gold in Antelope Valley alone than
anywhere else in the United States,
and more than will ever be used"
Mr.. Deity" said the newspaper
man in his most impressive manner,
you really mean to say that there
is gold in the lodges along Temple
and Sand streets, where thew have
lately graded?"
Yes, sir, l really mean it; YOU
can find gold in between the forma-
tions of the soft stone, which crumbles
when exposed to the air. 1t is there
in small quantities, but, as said,
with portable engines, it could be
made to pay"
Mr.. Defty's remarks about the
streets OF Los Angeles being full OF
geld shows his knowledge Of the facts,
for when the hill on Second street.
just above Hill street, was cut
through, the whole city went wild
over the rich discovery Of gold in the
red clay through which the cut was
made.

Cleveland Is to be congratulated for
the enemies he has made. He has
broken up so many robber .roosts. He
has checked in mid rascality so
many land grant steals. He has
vetoed SO many money-grabb;ng bills,
oozing out at every pore with ferment-
ing slush and jobbery. He has put
SO many splotched and piebald lob
byists to flight. He has made so
many fine-shots to purify the civil
service. In short. he has done go
many things to make national poll
tics clean, and so many things to
strengthen and make his party form
idable, that the opposition-hoping
possibly to cripple him or pull him
down-makes him the sole object of
every broadside, whether delivered in

thankful your condition is not worse Your con-
dition may be bad, but ii you will look around

illustrate: Here is man serving two years in
prison. He is sitting in his lonely cell thinking
over his past life and imagnes he is the most
wretched being in existence. Here is another un.
fortunate serving ten years. an other twenty and
mates. Here is woman with little children, suf-
fering from hunger and cold. while the husband
and father spends his time and money at the sa-

"Eehold, sower went forth to SOW" From
this text. found in Matthew xiii. 8, Rev. Albert
delivered an instructive sermon, showing Christ's
method of teaching by parable. using familiar OBJ
jects and the acts of everyday life to illustrate
the doctrine he wished to impress upon the peo-
pie. The words of the text were practically ap-
piled to our lives showing the effect of the gospel
upon those who hear its teachings.
He spoke of the double life of the Pharisees
and of the resemblance of certain class of per-
sons of to-day to these people with whom Christ
was laboring They are content to wear the cloak
of religion Sunday but forget its sacred teach
ings when engaged in the daily pursuits of life.
The parable OF the sower tells of four places
where the seed fell and they grew and brought
forth fruit in but one place. There are those who
go to church and hear the word of God, but they
forget its teachings before they reach their homes
like the seeds that fall by the wayside. And again
there are those who hear and heed the gospel for
time but lose sight Of its truths in their greed
after the foies and delusions of the world. These
are among the greatest enemies of the church as
they afford excuse for others to reject the Cos
pei and place the church in false light. Promi-
nent among this class are those who think them
selves strong have implicit confidence in them
ScNcS. lue weak are less apt TO 1all, lOr knowing
their weakness they guard against temptation and
call upon the name of the Lord to help them.
The two great evils the deception of riches
and the worries over the affairs of this life.
They crowd all else out Of many lives. Like the
seed that "fell among thorns; and the thorns
sprung up and choaked them 1--WE forget that
riches have ruined every nation that ever existed
Money wont buy character and character is nee
essary to right character. The sewing machine
has taken away good many mothers religion, as
the bank account has taken away a good many
fathers religion. Man not stand still where
he is to-day; he is always climbing higher. Money
cannot always rule tae world. Every thing tells
us that the day is coming when God will stand
as the moving power in the world. This is the
age of riches, the next viii be, perhaps, the age
of intellect; then will come the age Of the spirit
When that day comes, what change will have
come over the actions of men. Humanity will
be one common brotherhood. st. Paul will not be
reveling in the vanities of an ice palace, while
within sight of it is so much wretchedness and
misery and suffering unnoticed. unheeded.'

Despite the popular opinion to the contra
ry, families rarely join the mutual admira-
ton society as to one another. In what
Miss A. calls so beautifully the innermost,
people are apt to be anything but heroes
and herOines. Relatives grow accustomed
to each others charms and talents, and l
believe Sir Chas. Grandson, the hero of a
novel written in the days Of Franklin's ap-
premiership, was perhaps the only brother,
even of that date, who constantly informed
his sisters that ''their charms were only
equaled by their sensibility." Usually at
home, Apollo Belvedere would not be con-
sidered particularly handsome, nor Solo
mon much wiser than anybody else; and
perhaps Job might be spoken of as having
made quite enough fuss about those boils of
his and asked if he could not try to be more
patient. In fact, if people want to be adj
mired they must exhibit themselves to stran-
gers. ''Our folks" are not the people to
tiatter vanity to any great degree. But,

which has been going the rounds of the
press for 10 these many years. For the BEN
eft of the rising generation as now abide
with us and to whom it may be new, I will
endeavOr to ''resurrect" it at the risk of
having the prison-bell sprung on me. AS
near as can recollect. it is as follows: A
governor of one of our neighbOring states.
Oh the occasion of an official visit to the
state prison determined to ascertain, if pos
sible, the guilt or innocence of each individ-
ual convict by means of personal inter-
view. Accompanied by the warden he pro-
ceeded to make tour of the prison, going
from cell to cell. In response to his inquir-
les as to their guilt, various were the replies
he received. One said that it was case of
mistaken identity. another that it was a
put up job on him. while another admitted
that he was present at the commission OF
the crime but took no part in it. None
would make direct admission OF guilt.
The thing was not only mOnotOnOuS but
was growing wearisome. AS they were ap-
preaching the end of their journey they
came to cell the occupant of which was
braced in the doorway playing checkers
with his nose. The following dialogue en-
sued. "Well, my man." said the governor,
what are you here for?" For swiping SUI

the governor i'm amaZement. who failed to
''get on'' to the slang used by the con. The
