A HEADSTRONG WOMAN.
The Method Her Husband Adopted

The Method Her Husband Adopted to
Give Her Fright.
a slender young man with a woe-begone
expression upon his face wandered into the
new City Hall Police Station the other
evening.
''Wel," said the sergeant in charge, as he
surveyed the newcomer, what can do for
you?"
''Lock me up, please" was the reply, ac-
companied by sign of emotional intensity.
Lock you up? why, what have YOU
dOne?" queried the sergeant.
Nothing, but 1 want to be locked up"
persisted the man, sinking into chair and
resting his head on his hand in a de-
jected way.
Were not in the habit of locking people
up for nothing" replied the sergeant.
y ou had better lock me up, for may do
something desperate. l don't want to in
jure her,"
'Her? Who is that"
My wife. have had trouble with her
and l came right down here to get locked
up"
"What kind of troubleP"
Every kind; she's so headstrong can't
get along with her. Been married eight
years now. and it's been this way for
nearly all that time. If she knows I'm set
on anything, why she'll go the opposite way
on purpose. No, tonight told her my
brother Tom lost his leg in the battle Of
Fredericksburg when he was under General
Mcclellan. She sneered and told me that
Mcclellan was never in the battle of Fred
| erlckSburg, and that it was General Sher-
man. Then got mad and told her that she
was as Ignorant of history as lightning
bug. She replied that she didn't believe
my brother ever was in battle, and, if lie
was, he lost his leg while running away.
NOW, ain that aggravatlng? Who can
put up with such wOman?'
What did you do then?" asked the SER
geant.
I" L told her to look upon me for the last
time and rushed from the house"
DO you contemplate suicide2"
Me-, with sigh, but l am going to
give her fright?"
81 want you to lock me up on charge Of
murder. When she hears of my being in
prison 1t will give her such fright that
sheil never contradict me again. I'm not
headstrong and don't contradict every
thing she says. Why, give in to her, and
even admitted the other day that her father
did not peddle rags and bottles but was a
junk-dealer. SO lock me up"
Sorry we can't do it," said the sergeant
decidedly.
"Charge me with petty larceny. burglary
or anything"

Take me in for vagrancy," was the next
fearful appeal.
Cant. You've got home"
Wen, If | can't stop here I'll stay'away
tonight and I'll send her word that I was

HIS TEMPORAL POWER,
Eloquent Lecture On the Pope's
Earthly Possessions.

lecture in aid of the Children's Day
Home was given last night by Rev. Father
Rooney, o. p, in st. Francis Church. cor
ner Vallejo street and Montgomery avenue.
Before the lecture began a concert OF
sacred music was given by the following
choir, under the direction of Mrs. II. j.
Stewart: Mrs. A. B. Collins, Mrs. Sides.
Misses Agnes j. O'Brien, Bella A,
Brougham, Amelia O'Clair, Mary Fay, A.
Travers, Lizzie Derham, Susie Holden,
Dody Henneberry,. Angela Devlin. Clotilde
Devlin, Maggie Brougham, NJ. Schaffer
Reilly, A. F. Woodbridge. Mrs Stewart
played an organ voluntary, after which
"Ingenusco," from Verdi's requiem, and
selections from RossnPs "Stabat Mater"
including the "Intiammatus" were rendered
by the choir with charming execution and
finish.
Father Rooney began his discourse with
an eloquent and striking introduction, and
then taking up his subject, went on to say
that the protecting hand of God is ever
with the church. and that in GOO own
before the world. The Pope is the vicar Of
Jesus Christ, the prefect of the house of
God, Melchisedeck by holy orders, Jesus
Christ by JUNCTION, pastor Of all pastors,
mouth OF Jesus Christ, the very foundation
on which Gods church is built He then
quoted from the New Testament many ex-
pressions of Christ to st. Peter and the
Apostles relating to their teachings and the
Christian church.
The temporal power of the Pope rests
upon the love and devotion of Christians
for the Supreme Pontiff. In early days
Chris tians laid their worldly possessions at
the foot of Peter, and when Constantine
became Christian he endowed churches of
Rome, and since then the papacy' has had
Its distinct territories. Its income was
used for the propagation of the faith, the
alleviation OF distress. The Pope saved
Rome for many years from the hands OF
barbarian h0rdes who assailed Italy. Rome
Is not the property of Italy; Rome does
not belong to Italy; 1t was given to the
Church by the rightful owner, and belongs
to the faithful Catholics all over the world.
The temporal power of the Church re-
mains to-day, although its use is forbidden.
1t is in the hands of robbers, but it belongs
to the Church still. The day will come as
certainly as day succeeds night and night
DAY when the temporal power shall be re-
stored to the papacy and the enemies of the
Church driven from Rome.
Ii the Pope lived in Paris his mandates
would not be obeyed with good grace prob
ably in Vienna, Berlin or Madrid and vice
versa. ''From the depths of our hearts"

James Il. Barry addressed a large as
sembly of single tax advocates at St
Georges Hall last night. His subject was
"The Unemployed, Trades Unions and the
Single Tax" He held that the unions failed
to accomplish their object on account Of the
great numbers of idle men who rush in when
ever the unions are called upon to battle for
their principles, and employers who are
forever shouting for home industry are ever
ready to enrich themselves at the expense
of their .workmen. He said that few years
ago the iron-manufacturers of this city were
bowling for protection against Europe, and
are now importing men from Europe to ill
their foundries.
A tax imposed upon land values would.
he thought, relieve the strain upon labor
by throwing open vast areas of land to set.

OF men who are seeking for employment in

THE SACRAMENTO RIVER.
Prompt Action Required to Prevent the Close
of Navigation


of Navigation.
SACRAMENTO, April 13. An inspec-
tion of the creviee in the Yolo leyee made
last September. shows that two-thirds of
the volume of the river was flowing through
in the tules, and that when the
water recedes to the low mark
there will still be a heavy volume
going through the break, while
the bar below will have but two feet W.
F. Knox says the break can be closed now
and should be while the river has a scour-
ing capa-Hy to clear out the bar below
it. When low water comes it will be too
late, as there will not be water enough to
cut out the sand and slickens deposits. The
Record Union will suggest tomorrow that
the Government dredge out deep channel
through the bar formed below the break
while the water is high and thus divert
a large volume from the crevasse, thus
securing out deposits that were formed
while the water was heavily charged with
slickens at the early stages OF this winter
freshet. The engineers have a fund of
$4,000 at their disposal, and whether they
see fit TO close the break or not, the dredg-
ing can be done and much of the threat
ened damage be ayerted. Something must
be done, or navigation will be impossible in
q lew months from now.
