ABOUT THE CITY.
Sam Jones Talks to Another
Big Audience.
THE UNIVERSITY TELESCOPE.
Alvan G.. Clark Comes to See About
Manufacturing It-A Chat
With Him.

The usual immense audience gathered
at the Pavilion last evening to listen to
Sam Jones deliver one of his Character
istic sermons. If it is curiosity alone
which attracts people to hear him, the
mighty crowds would have thinned out
before this time; but the building is
packed to the ceiling with many stand
ing in the aisles and on the stairs every
night.
Sans text last evening was from tho
Ninth Chapter of Zechariah, Twelfth
Verse: Turn you to the strong hold,
ye prisoners of hope; even to-day do
declare that 1 will render double unto
thee" The application given to the
text was that those who gave up their
lives to the service of the Lord would
find themselves .epaid double. To
illustrate this fact he told num-
Der of anecdotes. One was of q
young man who was employed
by a wholesale grocery house
which dealt in liquor. The youth got re-
ligion and decided to throw over his
place, which paid him $50 month and
was the sole support of a widowed
mother and four orphan sisters. The
firm, however, was 80 overcome at the
young mans moral bravery that they inn
mediately threw away all the whiskey
and wine they had in stock and promised
never to sell any more. The young man
was taken back and his salary raised to
500 month. Some of the audience, who
can tell truth from a lie when they see it
at near range drew in long breath.
"You don't believe it, ,eh p" said Jones,
"well, can tell you some that are 100
times worse than that"
This made great laugh and covered
up the story very effectually. The audi
ence listened with close attention, and
seemed to thoroughly enjoy the perform
ance. There will be a service for men
only at half.past 2 o'clock Sunday after
noon.

He Il Here to See About Making q
Big Telescope.
Mr.. Alvan G. Clark, of Cambridge,
Mass, the leading member of the firm
of Alvan Clark & Sons, the celebrated
lens manufacturers, arrived in the city
on last nights train from San Francisco
and registered at the Hollenbeck. A
HERALD man had the pleasure of meet
ing him during the course OF the evening
and inquired as to the object of his
visit here. "Well, was at Denver
where was summoned by the Univer-
sity of that place to make contract for
a 20-inch lens telescope, the money for
which has been donated by wealthy
Coloradan named Chamberlain. had
previously had some correspondence
with President Bovard, OF the University
of Southern California, regarding the
large telescope which is to be placed in
Los Angeles county, and telegraphed to
him and asked how matters were pro-
crossing. He asked me to come along as
soon as possible, so that is why 1 am
here. l am told that you contemplate
having 40.inch lens and that will give
you the largest telescope in the world,
the second being the 36-inch lens at the
Lick Observatory, Mount Hamilton. I
have never been to Wilson's Peak where
your big telescope is to be placed, but it
should be much more advantageous
place than Mount Hamilton, being higher
and surrounded by more favorable at
mospheric conditions. For the success
full operation of large-lensed telescope,
an atmosphere which is not subject to
many changes of warm and cold is
necessary, and as the altitude of the Lick
Observatory is $500 feet, as against the
5000 feet claimed for Wilson's Peak,
you have certainly, in my opinion, bet
ter location. have been talking with
Professor Pickering about the matter up
stairs, and he says that they have made
arrangements to take us to the top Of
Wilson's Peak, so when come back I
will be able to better tell you what
think of it,"
"From where do you get the glass for
the lens?" asked the scribe.
From France. We import it in discs,
the glass of which is made particularly
for the purpose, as for telescope purposes
the glass must be even in density"
"Did you witness the recent eclipse of
the sun ?" queried the HERALD man.
"No. left Boston the day after it
occurred. Prof. Pickering was at the
Willows, though, and took some very
| fine photographs of it. Come up to.mor-
row and see them. He has gone to bed
now, as he is tired, an example which
think had better follow, as have been
travelling for the past twenty-four hours
and am somewhat worn out. Good
night"

HORSEWHiPPING THREATENED

An Interesting Case In which
Architect Hail Appears.
John Hall, the architect, again comes
before the public, this time as COM
plainant. An information was drawn up
in the District Attorneys Office yesterday,
upon Mr.. Halls instigation, charging
Gregory Perkins, Sr. with threats against
his personal peace and wellbeing. II
appears that some time since Mr..
Perkins wrote a letter threatening to
horsewhip Hall for an alleged slander
about his step-daughter, and demanding
retraction of the same. Apparently
nothing. was done in the matter and .
short time since Mr.. Perkins sent
second letter to Hall, who visited the
District Attorneys office and laid the
matter before him. The letters are at
tached to the information and are said to
be quite interesting.

A t;l,astlv Idol.

A writer in The Missionary Recorder, in
describing the Tai Shan mountain lin Shan
tung, much resorted to by pilgrims), says that
among other attractions Is the mummy OF an
old Taoist who died in the reign of Ch'ien
Lung Q735-l796), set up as an object Of rev
erence. This desiccated corpse is set ON a
pedestal, as are idols generally, In a sitting
posture, with legs crossed and hands together.
Over his skull has been fitted plaster mask
painted in the very red and very white Chinese
fashion, in which glass eyes have been set; a
yellow silk robe hangs loosely from his bony
shoulders, leaving exposed, however, the
withered arms and legs. A more grewsome,
CHASTITY object it would be difficult to con-
ceive. He is referred to by the plebs as the
.Dried Up Taoist,n but when seeking adj
mittance they refer to him more politely as
the venerable immortal. The writer inquired
Of tho attending priest: How long since his
deathn He replied: "He was transformed
In the time Of Ch'ien Lung. His spirit left
him while he was in sitting posture, and he
had neither ache nor pain, being fully con-
WINGED that he was not dying, but being
changed. p-Japanese Gazette.
