Did Jesus preach for pay?
Although he did what you do-damn,

And eggs were hurled at you.

An illustration clear,
How men will often raise a fuss,
Worse than kicking steer.
But then, O, Sam, were they to blame?
They did as they were told,
And though they may have sought
for fame
They acted far from bold.
Although we fancy not your style,
Your cheek we must admire,

To hear thee, gospel crier.

Outrages 70 be Explained.

SAN FRANCISCO, August 5.-An
outrage on Chinese recently occurred
at Vallejo, which will probably lead
to q demand for indemnity from the
Chinese government. A short time
ago lot OF Vallejo Chinese came to
the consulate here and declared
they were living in fear Of their
lives, as the regular authorities
refused to protect them. Trouble
began on the night of July 4, when 8
crowd gathered about the Chinese
quarter at Vallejo and pelted the
celestials with stones. Recently q
fire was started and q Chinese girl
was burned to death. Warrants for
eight men were issued. Vallejo
authorities claim there is no legal
proof against any of the accused. but
the Chinese story is told with so
much detail that Gov. Markham has
been requested by the State Depart
ment to Investigate the matter.
