rHE YIsIT 81 THE oUEEN.

Queen Balkis was so pleased with the
acuteness Of Solomon that she said, IN
lust 90 and see him for myself" 1onder
It comes-the cavalcade-hOrses and drom-
edaries, chariots and characters, jingling
harness and gathering hoofs, and blazing
shields, and flying ensigns, and claPping
cymbals. The place is saturated with the
perfume. She brings cinnamon and SAT-
from and calamus and frankalcense and
all manner of sweet spices. As the reti-
nue. sweeps through the gate the armed
guard inhale the aroma "HaltP cry the
characters, as the wheels grind the gravel
in front of the pillared pOrticO of the king.
Queen Balkis alights in an atmosphere be-
witched with perfume. As the drome-
diaries are driven up to the kings store
houses, and the bundles of camphor are
unloaded, and the sacks of cinnamon, and
the boxes of spices are opened, the purvey-
Ors of the palace discover what my text
announces, "Of spices, great abundance;
neither was there any such spices Is the
Queen Of Sheba gave to King Solomon
Well, my friends, you know that all the
olORians agree in making Solomon a type
Of Christ, and making the Queen OF Sheba
a type of every truth seeker, and shall
take the responsibility Of saying that all
the spikenard and cassia and frankincense
which the Queen. OF Sheba brought to King
Solomon are nightly suggestive OF the
sweet spices of our holy religion. Chris
tiapity IS not a collection of sharp techni-
calities and angular facts and chronoiog-
zeal tables and dry statistics. Our religion
is compared to frankincense and to cassia,
but never to nightshade. It is bundle OF
myrrh It is n dash of holy light. Il IS a
sparkle Of cool fountains. 1t is an opening
OF opaline gates. It is collection OF spices.
Would God that we were as wise in taking
spices to our Divine King as Queen Balkis
was wise in taking the spices to the earthly
Solomon! What many Of us most need IS
to have the humdrum driven out Of our
life and the humdrum out of our religion,
The American and English and Scottish
church will die of humdrum unless there
be a change.
An editor from San Francisco a few weeks
ago wrote me saying he was getting VI
for his paper a symposium from many
elergyInen, discussing among other things
"Why do not people go to church,
and he wanted my opinion, and gave il
inone sentence, people do not go tocnurct
because they cannot stand the humdrum.
The fact is that most people have SO much
humdrum in their worldly calling that they
do not want to have added the humdrum
Of religion. We need in all our sermons
and exhortations and songs and prayers
more Of what Queen Balkis brought &
salnmnn--nanelV- more sDice.

More than this, he had a great reputa-
ton for the conundrums and riddles that
he made and guessed. He and King Hi
ram, his neighbor, used to sit by the hour
and ask riddles, each one paying in money
if he could not answer or guess the riddle.
The Solomonic navy visited all the world,
and the sailors, Of course, talked about the
wealth of their king, and about the riddles
and enigmas that he made and solved, and
the news spread until Queen Balkis, away
off south, heard of it, and sent messengers
with few riddles that she would like to
have Solomon solve, and few puzzles
which she would like to have him find out.
She sent among other things to King Sol
ONION diamond with hole so small that
n needle could not penetrate it, asking him
to thread that diamond. And Solomon
took a worm and put it at the opening in
the diamond, and the worm crawled
through, leaving the thread IN the dia-
mond
The queen also sent a goblet to Solomon.
asking him to fill it with water that did
not pour from the sky, and that did not
rush out from the earth, and Immediately
Solomon put a slave on the back OF swift
horse and gAllOped him around and around
the park until the horse was nigh exhaust
ed and from the perspiration OF the horse
the goblet was filled. She also sent King
Solomon five hundred boys in girls dress,
and five hundred girls in boys dress, Won
dering if he would be acute enough 70 find
out the deception. Immediately Solomon,
when he saw them wash their faces, knew
from the way they applied the water that
it was all cheat.

The Fire Wardens Want the Metal-RoOf
District Enlarged.
In view Of the scant protection against
fire in. San Francisco and the fact that the
Supervisors made no provision for an en-
largement of the department. the Fire
Wardens have asked the Supervisors to
describe a new and much larger district
within which il shall not be lawful to con-
struct wooden roofs.
The proposed district is within the follow
ing lines: Commencing at the bay and Lyon
street, thence On Lyon to the PresidiO,
thence along the line of the reservation to
the center line of Central avenue, thence to
Geary street, and along Geary in an easterly
direction to BrOderick, along the center line
of that street to Waller, thence to Devisa-
dero, thence to Ridley, along the center line
Ridley to Castro, thence southerly to Army,
thence easterly to Bryant, thence nOrtheTly
to Twenty fifth, thence easteriy to PotTero
avenue, along that thOroughfare to Channel
street. thence easterly to the bay, and along
the shore line to the point of commence
ment.
It is further proposed that all roofs dam
aged to exceed 80 per cent shall be replaced
with metallic material. and that all mills
and buildings used for manufacturing pur-
poses erected within this district shall be
provided with metal roofing.

Technicalities With Which Clarke Is
Fighting the GallOws.
Charles Clarke, State Prison bird, who
had just been released from San Quentin,
killed Captain Duncan Logan in the saloon
of Jean Labat at the northwest corner of
Broadway and Powell street. On the night
Of September 10, 1889, Clarke entered the
saloon with felonious designs and was
accompanied by }. Ostranger, also an ex-
convict He called for a lemonade. and
while the bar tender was making the be YER
age he told him to go into the back ROOM
The bar-keeper obeyed and Clarke followed
him with drawn pistol. Captain Duncan
Logan, a retired navigator, was sitting in
the back room, and when Clarke entered he
saw that the pistol held by the exc on
Wet was directed toward his breast LO-
gan, thinking that an assault was about to
be made upon him, ran under the pistol and
grappled with Clarke.
They struggled until they reached the
street. when Clarke fired and shot Logan
through the heart Clarke ran off bare
headed and boarded the Oakland ferry
Some months later he was caught in San
Diego, and his fellOw-convict, Ostranger,
gave evidence against him, and on May 20,
1890, he was convicted of murder and sem
fenced to be hanged His attorney appealed
on the ground that the law of California pro-
viding for proceedings in criminal cases by
Information instead of by indictment is in
conflict with the Constitution of the United
States, and on the ground that the prOvis-
ions of the Penal Code providing for the
punishment of offenders who have been
previously convicted are In conflict with
the Constitution of the United States.
Clarke's attorney contended that even If
he were attempting to pilfer in the saloon
the attempt of Logan to arrest him was il
legal and that he had right to kill Logan
because he was attempting to arrest him
without warrant. The answer of the At
tOrney-General is that under the code any
citizen without warrant may legally arrest
any person who attempts to commit crime
in his Dre sencp.

A Famous Painting on exhibition.

We have on exhibition in this city one
more masterpiece of the painters art as
embodied in the famous painting of 1.-THE
Suicide" by Henry GeTvex. This picture
created in Paris on its first hanging as pro-
found a sensation as did the marbles of
Canova when they were given to the world.
GeryeX, the artist, is pupil Of Fromentan,
also of Caba mel and of Brisset. Thus he
had three 60 cd masters to learn fesh-color-
ing from, and boldness of execution in
drawing. On the arrival Of the painting in
this country it created a Juror in New
York, and from that time on has thoroughly
held public attention in its journey across
the continent The story of this painting
is one Of the sad. bitter experiences from
the passionate life Of Paris that causes the
hearts of more calm and even lives to cease
to beat and their minds to suffer from vain
regrets. The subject of the painting is a
most tragic one, and cannot be adequately
described in a brief notice like this. THE
Suicide" is now on exhibition at the Laurel
Palace Saloon. northwest corner KeaTny
