THE Los ANGELES HERAID WEDNESDAY MORNING. TO-

Kea was put on the stand to further
corroborate All Ducks testimony. Wong
Choo and Lem You followed with Sim
liar statements. The matter of admit
ting Goot Cues death-bed state 1ent
was then argued briefly and submitted.
Judge Shaw ruled that the testimony
was admissible, and the jury was again
called into the court.
Officer Rohn, who was on the stand
in the forenoon when the question OF
the death-bed statement arose, was
then recalled to finish his testimony.
He stated that upon his arrival at the
spot where Goot Cue lay he helped con-
vey her into an adjoining house, where
she lay on mat on the floor until taken
to the receiving hospital by the patrol
wagon.
Officer Bevan was then called and
allowed to relate before the jury the tes-
timony he had given in the forenoon to
the court alone. The day after the
shooting he called on Goot Cue at All
Ducks home. As he entered the room
of the dying woman he asked her how
how she felt and she replied: ''Me
very sick; me die.'' He then showed
her the pistol and the photograph of
Wong Ark, both of which she identified.
When she saw the pistol she said, Him
shoota me-" and of the picture she said
"He killa me-"
Bevan's cross-examination by Attor-
neys Hardesty and Guthrie was long
and searching, but failed to shake the
officers testimony. During this pro-
cess, which occupied all OF the rest OF
the afternoon several tilts occurred be-
tween the witness, the court and Attor-
ney Hardesty, which added much to the
interest of the proceedings.
Mr.. Hardesty tried to get Bevan to
say that Goot Cue talked very imper-
feet English, and to this end made a
number of comparisons between the
woman's linguistic abilities and those OF
other Cinnamon.
'sDid she talk as we'll as that China
man there?' he asked, pointing to a
former witness.
''No, sir; that Chinaman talks as good
English as you or J., replied Bevan.
"He may talk as well as one OF us two,
/ admit"
"Well, don't know how good your
English is, Mr.. Hardesty," retorted the
officer, and an audible smile went up at
Mr.. Hardesty's expense.
The rulings OF the court so far in the
case have been with the prosecution,
and Judge Shaw has shown good deal
of severity toward the attorneys for the
defense when the dignity of the court
has seemed to be trifed with. Attor-
ney Hardesty was severely reprimanded
on oneor two occasions yesterday for per-
sisting in asking questions which had
been ruled out, and on one occasion
barely missed fine for contempt when
he interrupted the court.
At O'Clock an adjournment was
taken till this morning, Officer Bevan
being still upon the stand.

THE PAHRUMP VALLEY MINES
Continued Reports of Their Great
Richness.

Richness.
"Ike" Norton arrived in the city yes
terday from the new Bonanza camp,
known as the Montgomery district, in
Nye county, Nevada, just east OF Death
Valley. Mr.. Norton brought some SAM
Piles of whiteigold bearing quartz, which
looks richer than double eagle. This
ore assays 10000 to the ton, and is cal
culated to make the beholder's fingers
tingle. The samples were taken from
the North Belle mine, owned by Grant
Bros.
Mr.. Montgomery, one of the largest
owners in the district, arrived there on
May 2Sth with a mill and a full supply
of machinery and tools, and active de-
velopments in his mines will commence
soon.
People are coming into the camp very
rapidly. 1t is 100 miles north of Dag
gett, which is the nearest railroad point.
The mines are located in the Pahrump
valley, which is fertile country well
supplied with ranches, from which an
abundance OF supplies can be had.
The surface indications are admitted
to De the richest ever found on this coast.
The only problem is, if on going deep the
ledges will maintain their size. The
deepest shaft in the district now is down
fifty feet, and the ledge at the bottom is
four feet wide, with no indication OF

Mr.. J. F. Meighan, Pittsburgh cigar
dealer, awoke one morning with an at
tack of rheumatism in his right arm.
Working around the store during the
forenoon made it worse. By noon the
pain was so severe that he could not
raise his hand to his head and had to
carry his arm in sling. One of his GUS
toners, on learning the facts, went
across the street to E. E. Heck's drug
store, and at his own expense procured
a bottle of Chamberlain's Pain Balm
and persuaded the cigar dealer to try it.
1t eased the pain and reduced the swell
ing so that by the next morning he
could use his arm, and by the second
morning was entirely we'll. This is only
one of the many severe cases of rheuma-
tism that have been cured by this valu-
able remedy. 80 cent bottles for sale

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-THE Methodist
Ecumenical conference continued its ses-

theJaity and women in the church, two
SUBJECTS of much interest at this time.
Bef9re the discussion began a resolution
wnlch had been referred to the appropri-
are committee advocating the joint action
OF Methodist missionary bodies working
In the same fields was reported back ia
vorably, and committee was appointed
TO consider the subject. Then the discus
sion of "The Church and Her Agencies, "
which was begun Monday. was resumed,
Rev. j. Travis, of the Primitive Methodist
church, of England, reading paper ON
the place and power of laymen in the
church, which was plea for the peculiar
views of his own denomination on that
subject.
No Distinctions in the Church.
He began by saying the church as found
ell by our Lord and built up by his in
spired apostles, was a community Of
brethren. They knew of no such dis
tinctions as priests and people, or clergy
and laity. All the members stood in the
same relation to Christ, the one head:
were sanctifed by the same spirit, and
had an equal share in all the blessing of
salvation and in all the privileges of the
church. They all belonged to the holy
priesthood to offer up spiritual sacrifices
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ
Origin of the Priesthood.
The division of the church into clergy
and laity dates from the second century,
The question is, What does it means Is
the difference between the clergy and
laity organic or only functional--one Of
order or simply one of Officer He then
spoke of the Rcman Catholic, the An
glican and the Non-Conformist doctrine
The early Methodists never talked about
ministers" and "lay preachers" but
"traveiing preachers" and @Iocal preach
ers Methodist ministers are not sa-
cred caste, curtained off from the laity by
mystic powers conveyed in ordination,
but brethren. They are pastors, elders or
bishops invested by the church with Ger
tain authority, but they belong to the
common brotherhood of the saints and in
spiritual privileges stand exactly equal
with all the children of God
The Place of Lay Agency. e-
Lay. agency has a place in the govern
ment of the church. Even the apostles,
who held their commission from our
Lord, and who were supernaturally en-
dowed for TIE special work of founding
the church, seldom acted but in unison
with the laity. The Methodist denomin-
ations are agreed that the laity have a
place, but they are far from being agreed
as to extent. He pleaded for the system
attic training of lay preachers. A church
which could not, or would not find work
for all who had the heart and the hand of
service was defective. When Christians
are 1at it-ali at it, and always at it," the
salvation of the race will not be far dis
tant.

woMAN's MISSION IN THE CHURCH.
Radical Views Expressed by a Belfast
Clergymen.

The next subject to come up under the
general head of 1The Church and Her
Agencies" was that of woman's work,
and the debate was begun by an essay
| from Rev. Benjamin St. J. Fry, of St.
Louis editor of The Christian Advocate.
He spoke mainly of the important work
there was for women to do in the church,
especially in the foreign mission fields,
and concluded his address by bidding
God speed to all women who work for
Christianity. Professor J. P Lands. of
Dayton, o., United Brethren in Christ,
said that woman had proved that she
could maintain a high position in the
church. Women had more tact in church
| work than some of the laundering men,
| and should be allowed to preach the
gospel.
A Wish for Women Delegates.
Rev Thomas Hunt, of England, Primi-
| tive Methodist church, in addressing the
conference said that he wished that there
| were women delegates in the conference
| as well as men. Women formed major
| ityIo the church, and should have impor-
| tant duties TO perform. The church en-
| ploys them in minor work, but he held
| that there is a higher work for them to
L
| temperance had been great, and if they
| desired to preach the gospel. let them, he
said, preach it. In the five-minute discus
sions which followed half dozen deie-
gates addressed the conference on the
| tonic under consideration, most of them
| favoring the admission of woman into the
pulpit.
Would Abolish the Pulpit.
Rev. William German, of Belfast, Ire
| land, Irish Methodist church, followed
with an address in which he said wom-
ans fitness TO be mans cc-worker in the
| church needed no vindication, for, al
though she had been handicapped, she
had found and filled high places.
Women were kept out of certain councils
| of the church where her gifts are most
| needed and where her work should be
welcomed. He concluded by saying that
if woman in the pulpit was obnoxious it
could be easily remedied by taking away
the pulpit and leaving the woman.
