While children slaar

While children sleep
They know not that their father tolls:
They know not what their mother prays-
Bending in blessing DER their beds,
Imploring grace for after days
While children sleep
They never dream that others work
That they may have their daily bread;
w hen morning comes they rise and eat,
And never ask how they are fed.
While children sleep
They do not see the shining sun
They do not see the gracious dew,
In daily miracle of love,
l. ever making all things new
Dove t sleep,
And know not that our Father works
With watchful care about our way
He bends in blessing from above
His love broods Ger Us day by day.
Do We not sleep,
And never dream that others work,
Reapiug the shesyes that might be ours!
We see not how the shadows fall
Which mark the swift departing hours,
All still we sleepi
OuF drOwSv ewes zee not the light.
See not the hands stretched out TO bless,
See not that waiting for Us stands
Gods kingdom and his righteousness.

A SCARE ON THE BAY.
Panic-Stricken Pnsnengers on Board the
Steamer TiburOn.


Panfc-Stricken Pasnengers on Board the
steamer Tiburon.
There was much excitement among the
passengers on board the San francisco and
North Pacific Railroad Company's steamer
Tiburon yesterday afternoon, and it almost
amounted to panic.
Tie steamer left Tiburon at 4:10 o'clock
for this city. having about 800 passengers
on board. When she left Tiburon the regu-
lar through train from Ukiah had not yet
arrived nor the Veteran Firemen or Paint
ers and Decorators, who had been holding
picnics on the line of the road, or the boat
would have been crowded and serious
panic must have ensued.
The boat had left her slip about ten
minutes and was just off Bird Rock, when
a great crash was heard and the boats
Roadway was stopped. Instantly there was
the greatest excitement among the pas
sengers and rush was made for the life
belts which were slowed in racks all ready
for use in case of emergency. Many of the
lady passengers screamed in fright, not
knowing what had happened. and large
number, both male and female, adjusted
life-preServers around their bodies think
ing the boat was about to sink Collector
Kelly on the lower deck and porter Manuel
Enos on the saloon deck went around, calm
ing the passengers fears, telling them that
it was only a log that had got in the wheel
and that there was no Hanger.
When the crash occurred Captain Van
Pelt and Chief Officer Gus Dorges were 10
the pilot-house. The captain at once sig
nailed the engineer and asked what was the
matter. The reply was that there was
probably a log in the wheel. In few
minutes the engineer reported that the shaft
was broken just outside the bulkhead on
the port side. He told the captain that he
could 90 ahead slowly with one wheel, and
WAS told to do so. Captain Van Pelt after
giving the order descended to the saloon
deck and Gained the passengers, his
presence assisting materially in allaying
their fears With one wheel working the
Tiburon arrived on this side shortly after 8
O'Clock, being only about twenty minutes
late.
As soon as she arrived a telephone mes
sage was sent to the steamer James Nj.
D0nahue at Tiburon and Captain Hughes at
once strained over and took the;pasSengerS
who should have been carried on the IL
huron, and continued making trips during
the evening. On account of the accident
the Ukiah passengers were delayed about
an hour, while those who attended the
Painters and Decorators picnic did not
get back to the city until after ten o'clock.

Dick Condor of the Democratic County
Committee is, if nothing else, close OBJ
server, and an incident occurred a few DAYS
ago in which this trait was peculiarly
aecentnated.
Ex-senator Broderick, who has charge of
the Registration and Naturalization Bureau
at the committee-rooms, found on his desk
memorandum addressed to him, but with
out being signed. He read it, examined it
closely for moment. but WAS unable to
c0nstrue its meaning 10 his own satisfae-
ton. He looked at it more closely, hoping
to recognize the handwriting so as to ask
for fuller explanation, but he was unable
to decide who bad written it. Dick was
called in. and on being shown the writing
said: 'Oh! that's easy to make out. Johnny
Dougherty wrote that"
How do you know?" asked Senator
Broderick.
That's no trick" Dick retorted. ..He
always spells Occidental that way. See !:

THE Mistakes of Noses" choosing for his
text the third verse of the third chapter of
Exodus-"And Moses said: L will turn

AT starting out the minister called atten-
ton to the fact that man was an inquisitive
animal, and that Moses. in turning aside to
view the burning bush, was merely follow
ing an instict of his nature.
The preacher then referred to the course
pursued by Pharaoh in refusing to let the
Israelites go. He did not understand how
God could so harden Pharaoh's heart as to
cause him to refuse to let them go, and
then punish him for his refusal.

COMPANY C's RECORD.
Company has always been one Of the
leading shooting companies Of this State,
and at the present time claims to be the
champion military company of the Pacific
Coast, having won that proud distinction
by defeating the Carson City Guards two
weeks ago. This company has won nearly
all the regimental trophies. These were
not shot for by teams, for the whole strength
of the company roll was counted, and any
Dlan in the company failing to appear at
the butts counted us so many misses against

be OF interest to every mllltiaman IN the
State, an account of their different compe-
titions since 1875 is given below.

tain possession. Company Z and their OPP
ponents shot six men with five shots each
at 200 and 500 yards. Company @ made 2l5
points. beating the next highest team by 10
points. In 1876, tor the same trophy, under
similar conditions, they scored 216 points,
gain of points over the previous year, but
only defeated their opponents by points.
