Rev. 7. de Witt Talmage's "Life
of Christ"

1t is well known that the Rev. T. de Witt
Talmage left his home two years ago for the
purpose of visiting the Holy Land, in order
that he might more rstanding,y write a
life of Christ which he had had for MANY
years under consideration The result of
his visit and researches is now presented in
a handsome volume of CSC pages, forming a
large quarto volume, embelished with over
400 engravings ard a magnificent chromatc
panorama of the crucifiXion, printed on ten
double-page plates, which follow each other.
This work differs from many other lives
of our Savior in this, that it was written for
the masses in manner that every person
who reads may understand what lie reads.
and no Latin or Greek word is used unless
it is translated. This idea of the reverend
author was suggested by fellow-passenger
on the City Of Paris, who remarked, Il hope
Doctor Talmage will write life of Christ
which business man, getting home at
s o'clock at night and starting from home
next morning at o'clock, may profitably
take up and in the few minutes before he
starts and after he returns read in snatches
and under stand"
To the lite of Christ the writer has added
sublime description of the Holy Land.

Was born at Scarborough. Cumberland Coun-
ty, Me-, 1921. His ancestors were of English
origin, and settled in this country about
1852. The father of Mr.. Harmon served in
the war Of 1912. Young Harmon secured
his education in the common schools. and
all his life has consistently maintained an at
titnde hostile to all who would array them
selves against this American institution.
Leaving Portland, Me-, where he was en-
gagged in business. in December, 1913, he
took steamship passage from New York to
Chagres, trusting to chance to get from Pan
anna to San Francisco, as no line had yet
been established by which through tickets
could be procured. Mr.. Harmon arrived in
San Francisco April =, 1919. and campcd at a
point now intcrsected by Kearny street, or
about one block from what was then the
landing for small boats. He at once joined
at Suffers Mill, Mr.. Harmon's first
experience as miner was at Coloma.
The labOrs Of his first day were
rewarded by an ounce of gold dust With
the money he made in the mines he soon
afterward went TO New York, bought n
stock of goods, returned to San Francisco
and became merchant. One of the great
fires which devoured the business part of
the town swept his store and stock out of
existence; but lie was undaunted, starting
again on the site of his former store. Sac
ramento was his next location as a mer-
chant Later on he became largely inter
ested in mining enterprises, his field being
the Comstock group.
In the year 1872 Mr.. Harmon, having ac-
quired handsome fortune, removed to Oak
land, where he has since resided. Selecting
a tract Of about six acres near the head Of
Lake Merritt, with frontage on Webster
street, he erected large dwelling and made
many costly improvements, which are in ex-
cellent taste His greenhouse contains one
of the most extensive collections of rare
plants on the Pacific Coast. From his nur-
series every Easter come some of the most
beautiful of all the lilies sold by the florists,
for since gentlemen gardeners have raised
flowers for profit as well as for pleasure, the
fame of MI Harmon as a floriculturst is
ranked very high.
He is also liberal patron of art, and has
already choice collection of pictures.

COLONEL JONATHAN d. STEVENSON
May fifty be called the child OF the century,
for upon the first day of the year 1850 he
was born on Staten Island, Richmond
County, New York. From his eminence of
ninety years he looks back upon the records
of stirring life. He arrived in California
on March G. 1S47. MS commander of the First
Regiment Of New York Volunteers
''Stevenson's Regiment" as they will go
down in history, and which came to assist in
the reduction of this part of Mexican terri
tory He was the son of an old-time ship
master attached to the Revenue Department
of New York, but instead of following the
profession of his father, the young man
entered mercantile life All an early age
he was holding SponSble position, being
the regularly appointed agent of an i'm
portant steamboat line from Staten Island
to New York. AS far back i'll the century
as 1888 he had assumed a leading rank
among the uniformed militia of the State,
and it was not long before the simple Lieu
tenant was the commander OF battalion.
His military career and a biographical
sketch of the veteran Colonel was published
in THE CALL recently.
Notwithstanding his great age the Colonel
is still hale and hearty, taking live inter-
est in current affairs. He is Court Com
missioner for the Superior Court of this
city and county. He resides in his spacious
mansion on Van Ness avenue, n ar Pacific
street, and is the appreciatiVe grandfather
of large family.

This gentleman was born in STAFFORD
County, N. H., in 1915. His English an
cestors settled there when the country was
an unbroken wilderness from Mount Wash
ington to the Canadian border. Mr. Perry
came to California in 1850 From the Amer
lean River to San Francisco at that tmewas
included pretty much all the enterprises of
the county. A short experience in mining
camp. n survey of the field of business, his
own tastes and abilities, all united to make
the then tented city, where all interests Gen.
tered, the appropriate place for him. AT the
corner of Montgomery and Merchant streets
MIR. Perry put out the first brokers' sign in
San Francisco, and in less than two years
had purchased over $4,000 worth of city
and State bonds, bought and sold gold dust,
and transacted business in exchange
and banking. Like all old Calfornians
Mr. Perry has experienced the ups
and downs of career in which
tickle fortune has juggled her favors In
early times he accumulated splendid COM
petence; the fiuctuation of values in our
State caused him to meet heavy reverses,
but in all his different conditions, whatever
his success or reyerSes. Mr.. Perry has
always shown the same firm. steady deter
imitation and dignfied bearing. He has al
ways been the generous helper Of the dis
tressed and the enlightened benefactor of
the foundations of good institutions.

Mccormick KeIensed.

The troubles aboard the ship San Juan,
which recently arrived from Panama, are
likely to cease for time. When she came
into this port a few days ago she had two
sailors in irons. One of them was William
Mccormick, whom the ships captain
charged with INSTRUMENTATION, though it is
und, rstond from other sailors that the
charge might have been assault to murder.
Me COrmick'S case came up yesterday before

also the fact that the accused had already

ing a wealthy man and the husband of a
very charming woman, who before her mar
rage to Mr.. Baker was Miss Nellie Stone,
the daughter Of Rev. DR.. A. l.. Stone, the
leading Congregational clergyman on this
Coast. Mr.. Baker was born in Portland,
Me-, on the 2d day of August, 1927. He
was seized with the prevailing desire to come
10 California, and arrived here on August 49,
1S49, by which fact he is entitled to rank in
that historic band known as the men of 40.
His first occupation in California was that of
mining on Mormon Island. After the first
fever of the mining excitement had abated,
MI Baker abandoned the pick and shovel in
one sense, and devoted himself to it in an
other, for feature Of his now great bust
ness Is farming and mining implements. By
his energy and business ability he has been
instrumental in bull ling up vast concern,
which stands second to none OF its kind ON
