THE California Spirit Of the Times and

Mr.. Marcus D. Boruck, Governor Water
mans private secretary. Just now this
accomplished gentleman is giving Col
onel Markham particular fits. 1t says
that if the Pasadenan is the republican
candidate for governor he will be beaten
by $1,000 majority. We think that is
very likely. This is a pretty healthy
democratic year, and there is cold com
fort ahead for republicans. Boruck ac-
cuses Markham of ingratitude to Water
man. Altogether, there is a very pretty
little internecine fight ahead for the
grand old party. Boruck also pays some
tender compliments to Judge Carpenter
in the last issue of his paper. 'Now,

THE LATE WILLIAM F. WHITE.

The state of California lost very val
liable citizen yesterday in the death of
the Hon. William F. White. A brief
biographical sketch of the deceased ap-
pears elsewhere.
Mr.. White was man of great force OF
character and of many and undoubted
claims to distinction. His physique
was commanding, indicating great vital
and intellectual powers. He figured in
the politics of California in a stormy era,
which makes fair Judgment of his
career difficult to form. In essentials
he was democratic, and he rendered
good and faithful service to that party,
resuming his allegiance to it after
momentary detection, in which he was
doubtless governed by conscientious
convictions.
Mr.. White was emphatically a good
citizen, and ne had many claims to pub
lie distinction. While, as speaker, he
could hardly be accorded the first rank,
he nevertheless was the master of
solid and substantial oratory that had
great weight with the masses. What
ever may have been lacking in electrical
power in his speeches has been more
than made up by his distinguished son,
our townsman, Hon. S. M. White.
The integrity and worth of the de-
ceased were recognized throughout the
length and breadth of California. After
his momentary separation from the
democratic party, during which
he figured as the workingmen's
candidate for governor, Mr.. White
returned to full communion with
that organization, to which he had dedi-
Gated the best energies of his manhood.
The action of Governor Irwin in ap-
pointing him a bank commissioner re-
ceived the approval of the democratic
party He discharged the duties of that
station with conspicuous ability and
efficiency. Since then he has been one
of the trusted and most valued leaders
of the California democracy.
He died at the ripe age of "a years,
although, so hale was his appearance,
and so robust his spirit, that no one
would have supposed him to be beyond
80. His bereaved family will have the
sympathy of this entire community.

sShenandOah. -

There is no better illustration of his
toric teaching than is afforded by
thoroughly realistic stage pictures. 1t
is this effect which has made the great
success of Bronson Howard's play of
Shenandoah, which will be presented at
the Grand opera house for five nights
and a matinee, commencing next Tues
day evening, and as Mr.. Howard, the
author, has blended his object lessons OF
the late civil strife with an exquisite love
story, full OF romance and pathos, the
drama appeals in apowerful way to both
young and old. The cast, scenery and
accessories, which will be seen at the
production in this city, is precisely the
same seen for 800 nights in New
York, and at present concluding the
most successful engagement ever known
in San Francisco, from which city the
play will come direct. The sale of seats
begins tomorrow morning.

A RELIGIOUS STRAW IMMANUEL
CHURCH.

A quiet movement was made last week
by the pastor and officers of Emmanuel
church, to see if twenty men could be
found in this city who would give $500
each towards the erection of church
building. The times looked very for
bidding, but every seat at the Los An
geles college, where Emmanuel church
worshipped, being full, the congregation
felt that it must go forward or backward.
A consultation was held, and still hunt
was made by the pastor, Rev. Mr.. Chi
chester, for one week, and the re-
suit is subscription of $10,-
600. Emmanuel church is the
child of the First Presbyterian church,
OF this city. 1t is colony of that
church, and well may she be proud OF
such daughter. Organized in the fall
of 1888, with small membership, she
has now membership of several
hundred and has taken front
rank among the city churches,
in all departments of religious work.
A few weeks ago cry OF distress came
up from the Young Mems Christian As
sociation of this city that their building
was about to be sold for debt. Just at
that time a friend of the Emmanuel
church. residing in Pennsylvania
made a donation of $4,000, for
the purpose of erecting a church
edifce, but leaving it within the
discretion of the officers OF the church, to
use a part or all of it, to
,save the Y. M. c. A. building
from the hammer of the auctioneer.
Without another dollar in the treasury,
and without conditions, they said to the
uplifted hammer, Thus far and no
farther" and planked down the 5000,
and thus saved the building. This
act of self-sacrifce has touched the
heart of every young man in this city.
Every woman who struggled and toiled
over lunches to aid the Y. M. G. A., felt
thrill of joy when it was announced
that Emmanuel church, homeless and
houseless congregation, had thrown her
$5 900 into the balance, and thus saved
the young mems home. Herew bread
cast upon the waters, not with the view
of being gathered up again, but
from motives of unselfsh, Christian
generosity. Will it be gathered again?
Every believer in the truths of the Bible
believes it will.
The canvass for the balance of the
money necessary to erect the building
will be begun at once. 1t is hoped that
the great masses will show their appre
citation of the work of this church by
making liberal subscriptions to the same.
The pastor, Mr.. Chichester, has his heart
deeply set on the early erection of the
building, and we are inclined to believe
that he will be gratified. We have given
other straws which show the way the
wind is blowing in Los Angeles, and we
add this religious straw.

If SOLOMON could have overheard con-

If SOLOMON could have overheard con-
versation which took place between Mr..
Charles Herold and a reporter of the
Chicago Tribune, the other day, he
would have withheld his inconsiderate
remark "that there is nothing new
under the SUM-" Mr.. Herold says that
a firm in Munich is making carriages to
be propelled by gas generated from ben
zine. Several of the new vehicles are in
successful operation, and the company
is securing patents in all the big nations
of the world. He rode in one of the
carriages only two months ago. On the
country roads they went at the rate of
ten miles an hour, but in the crowded
streets they moved about as slowly
as horse car. The motor is
placed in the rear over the main axle
and the benzine is carried in recepta-
Gle under the seat. 1t holds enough for
trip of eighty miles. The gas mixture
is ignited in a cylinder by an electric
spark. The motor is started by simply
turning lever. A link chain belted to
wheel on the rear axle applies the
power. In its makeup the carriage is
something like a tricycle., having only
three wheels, and it is guided precisely
the same way. 1t is easy to increase or
diminish the speed, and the carriage can
be stopped in moment. The system
can be applied to small or large vehicles.
The cost is comparatively low.
