WANTS HIM RENoMINATED.

The Labor Echo for the current week,
in an able editorial, advises the remom-
inatiOn of Mr.. f. Kahn for county
auditor. The fact that he can be re-
elected where another might fail is
cited as an additional reason why he
should be given cordial support. Su-
perfciaI indications, together with a
firm grasp upon the preliminary throb-
bings of the political pulse, seem to in
dictate that the genial Mike will have a
walk-over both for the denomination

DELIvERANCE FROM SIN.
Transmission of the Divine Power
to the Apostles.

At the cathedral yesterday Father
Fitzpatrick's text was: "And the null
titude, seeing it, feared and glorifed
God that gave such power to men,"
There is no title" said he. ''that so
we'll portrays the divine character of
Christ as that of Redeemer, and His
mission on earth was one of redemption.
He declared that He came not to convert
the Just man, but the sinner. All the
works of God had but one end in view,
reconciling sinners to God. This power
He transmitted to His church. The
greatest OF all miracles was accom-
plished in His own resurrection. The
mission of our Savior to forgive sins
was transmitted to the apostles, and the
conclusion is that the oracle of God on
earth must be that church in which is
exercised that heavenly pOwer.'

SHARK KILLED BY TOBACCO

Fish.

The Fatal MOfSeI Administered to
the Monster Through a Dead
Fish.
Forest and Stream.
We had not fished very long before a
large shark put in an appearance, and
stopped our sport. We first knew of
his presence by his greedily swapping
off the fish from one of my neighbours
lines, having followed up from the bot
tom. He executed this performance
several times, and then the
snappers stopped biting entirely.
Not even nibble could we
get. so we hauled in our lines and COM
menced to pay our attention to the
shark. He was monStrOuS fellow,
about fifteen feet long, and he kept
swimming round and round the vessel,
sometimes on top the water and some
times away down deep below us, but al
ways at respectful distance. His red
dish brown body could be plainly seen
through the clear, transparent green
water, and you may be Snre he was the
cynosure of all eyes.
While we were talking I noticed the
native pilot every now and then throw
ing overheard one of sthe snappers we
had so recently caught. and as the cur
rent carried it little distance clear of
the vessel the shark would gobbie it
down, and in fact the intervals were so
regular that MIR. Shark seemed
impatient when the regularity
was broken by little delay.

Serious Ending of Dispute in
Dakota

Among the passengers on the North
ern Pacific train yesterday afternoon
was John Sweeny, of st. Paul, who re-
sides on the corner of Dale and Mime
haha streets. Sweeny has been out at
Dickinson, OAK, for some time, engaged
by st. Paul firm to do lathing.
Thursday night he got in quarrel over
some trivial matter, and the second
party to the quarrel drew revolver
and shot Sweeny, the bullet entering
the right hip and inficting a painful
wound. When the injured man came
in yesterday, he said that he did not
know the name of the man who shot
him, but that he was under arrest at
Dickinson. Sweeny was taken to his
home in an express wagon.

"You cannot point to one intelligent

several cOlored brothers were standing
at the door inviting people to go in. The

81 have seen better professions than
that" said visitor at tie Ryan last
evening as the Salvation Army passed
by. "A year ago / was on the Island of
Jamaica, where the Salvation Army has
a strong hold on the cOlOred people. l
have seen professions three hundred
strong, composed mostly of women,
pass through the streets humping their
tambourineS and shouting as though
the millennium was at hand. The relig-
ious fervOr of these supplemented peO-
pie is truly wonderful. The next day
l saw these same women work on the
wharves, loading and unloading vessels,
for which they received two shillings
day. The pay is so small that men cam
not be secured TO do the work. Other
kinds of work. even the meaneSt drudg-
cry, are done there by women, yet they
are always happy; and perhaps it is
this temperament that enables them to
endure their hardships. Despite the
sad scene, it yet appeared ludicrous to
me,a Salvation-Army woman with big
basket of coal on her head, singing as
she stepped from vessel, Hold the
fort, for L am eoming.'"

AS look at the picture again and again,
At the dimpled darling over there
With rosy cheeks and golden hair

1ts JOY and sorrow, its binding tears
My bosom was once a haven of rest
A golden head nestled upon my breast,
Litrle hands clasped me warm and tight
Alesi They are cold and still tonight
Cold in the silent gloom of the grave
And my heart is crushed meath sorrow wave
Alone drink life's bitterest gall,
Though a Fathers love shines over all
And try to see (but alas, am blind)
That His Christening hand is ever kind.
Ny boy, thou vast all of life to me-
All others were gone-I asked but thee
Yet mine is life of human woe,
And affections heart drops cannot but fiow
turn away with streaming eyes
Ny heart is wrecked meath billow of sighs
And cannot endure the picture to-day
Of the happy young mother over the way.

Opposed to state Division

The San Diego Union makes the follow
ing very sensible remarks upon Mr. Van
devers proposition to divide the State Of
California:
"The proposition to cut California in
two, and make new State of the south
ern end of it, is now before Congress, hav-
ing been introduced into that body yester-
day by General Vandever. This action
will awaken some surprise. The minds of
the people have not lately been turned to
the subject There has been no recent dis
cussion of it in the newspapers of any part
OF the State. This is sudden and unex-
pected springing Of the question. The
proposition will provoke discussion through
out the State. 1t has its practical, politi-
cal and sentimental aspects, all of which
will demand consideration. Thepresump-
tion is in favor Of the existing order of
things. The burden of proof is upon those
proposing division. The State is large,
but size alone will not justify division.
The extremities of the Commonwealth are
wide apart, but its people are homogene-
Gus. There is nothing in its topography
to make political division imperative or
even important. For State of such lati-
tude its climate and resources are remark
ably uniform. The existing State govern
ment has shown no incapacity to answer
the demands of the people from San Diego
to Siskiyou. Political ills that might be
complained of could not on division be
kept on the north side of the line. A
State Government for Southern California
would not be an unmixed blessing. A
capitol outfit costs good deal of money to
create and maintain. State officers are
tax eaters. Politics are not productive
On the contrary, their capacity to consume
the peoples substance is notoriously pro.
digious. The great State of California
cannot be divided merely to crafty the
politician. Her great and grand domain
should be secure from such spoliation."

A week has passed since my first super
natural visit to CARDINAL Grange, and
again ! take my pen-perhaps for the last
time-to tell the development Of that in
cident at the Unicorn Club. Why did
fate send my steps thither at all? Why,
because of that one trivial affair, should I
be doomed to this misery and doubt? We
are told that all our actions tend to our
ultimate good, but cannot see anything
but evil and unhappiness springing from
that chance meeting with Sir George Cur
don. But though my heart is bitter,
must go on with my narrative; nothing
save making a confdant of something,
even if it be only the inanimate paper, af-
fords me the least relief.
For nearly week Iwent about my daily
