A californi. Mining Camp in '4e.


The gambling tents were large, and
contained not only gaming tables but
billiard tables AT one of these l was
once playing billiards with aman named
H. A few feet from rs. raised upon
. platform made fer the purpose. were
seated three Mexican musicians, playing
guitars; for these places were alwsys
well supplied with instrumental music.
The evening seldom passed without dis.
putes, ard pistols were quickly drawn &c
settle quarrels. Upon any outbreakmeD
would rush from all parts OF the room,
struggling to get as near as possible to
the scene Of action, and often they paid
the penalty for their curiosity by being
accidentally shot.
While H and / were engaged in
our game we could hear the monotonous
appeal Of the dealers, Make your game,
gentlemen, make your game. Red wins
and black loses Suddenly bang. bang,
bang went the pistols in distant part
of the tent. The usual rush followed.
Bang, bang, again, and this time the
guitar dropped from the hands of one OF
the unoffending musicians, who fell for
ward to the ground with bullet through
his neck. His friends promptly under.
took to carry him past Us to the open
air. Our table was SO near the side OF
the tent that only one person at time
could go between it and the canvas.
H was standing in the way. Just
in the act Of striking the ball with his
cue, when one of the persons carrying
the wounded man touched him, with the
request that he move to one side. he
turned, and saw the Mexican being SUD
ported by tn legs and arms, the blood
flowing from his neck. Then, with the
coolest indifference, he said, Hold on,
hold on. boys, till / make this shot. "
Then, resuming his former position, he
deliberately finished his shot.-Dr. c. b
Gillespie in Century.

moderate view, and was regarded Is a rec
onCiler, holding views much like those
lately SET forth by the Rev. DR.. f. Win
chester Donald, of the Protestant Episco-
pal Church Of the Ascension. New York
city. Dr. Douald's sermon dealt with the
proper method of handling charges of her
esy, and he recommended the plan Of the
Jews Of Berea, who listened with readl-
ness OF mind and searched the Scriptures
daily whether these things were so
Ii is 4 suggestive fact that ut the same
hour DR.. c. Il. Parkhurst was holding
forth at the Madison Avenue Presbyterian
church in a way that rather outdid Pro
feSsOr Briggs in the line OF Higher Crit
ciSm." It IS probable that DR.. Parkhurst
might have declared his views without ex-
citing much comment If he had not gone
on 10 arraigu Princeton for ilhberality,
and 10 charge many ministers with per
scouting spirit. The general tone of his
address may be Judged from one extract in
which he said that the question before
every candidate for the pulpit IL his de
nomination was: Can | enter the Presby
terian ministry and still retain my self re-
spects Must pluck out my eyes and re-
place my brains with sawGust as a c2ndi-

is very simple one and nearly the same
in all cases. An apparent gentleman
comes in, steps up to the bar and calls
for drink and receives his check. He
then goes to the lunch counter. orders a
more or less elaborate lunch, which he
eats leisurely, and receives another check.
Then he visits the cigar counter, selects
a cheap cigar and gets another check,
and finally walks to the cashiers desk,
throws down his cigar check and the
change and walks out with the other
two checks in his pocket. They may be
successful for few times, but eventual
ly we discover their game and then we
take our innings.
I'VE are very careful not to make a
mistake in following up gentlemen OF
this ilk. We sometimes allow them to
go through their operations several
times in succession until we are abso-
lutely certain that it is their intention TO
cheat the place. We quietly inform
them that they are discovered, and tell
them to make restitution for the checks
they had not formerly paid for, OF
course these men are never allowed IN
the place again.
BIG CHANCE FOR THIEVES.
There is one rowing class of people that
even the sharp eyed detectives are not
always able to discover. Their ostensi-
bic business is honorable enough, and
there are sometimes honest men among
them They are the "fakirs." peddlers
and agents. There Is an army Of them
in this city. and they circulate freely
wherever men gather Generally they
are cheeky, plausible and vOluble. An
innocent looking parcel, such as amy
business man might carry, often con
tains their stock in trade. More often
they carry their entire stock IN tA,slT

While there is in the Episcopal church a
discussion as to doctrine, there goes along
with it an equally earnest one on the
canons as to ordination; and while the
Rev Dr. Heber Newton is a central figure
in the former, both ne and DR.. Rainsford
are charged with error in the latter. Both
signalized their Lenten services this year
by inviting Episcopal clergymen to
address their congregations. Both ex-
planned that the ministers invited by them
were invited as laymen. Naturally enough
this did not please the gentlemen referred

RELIGIOUS QUESTIONS.
THE EXPRESSED VIEWS OF PROM
NENT NEW YORK PREACHERS.

DR.. Psrkhurst's Arrangement of Prince
ton-Dr. Talmage's Outspoken Views.
DR.. Rainsford's Attitude Toward Epis-
copalianism-Death of DR.. Van Dyke.
As the centerof interest in the present
religious controversy is the Union Theo-
logical seminary of New York, the sudden
death of DR.. Henry J. Van Dyke, professor
elect of systematic theology in that semi
nary, is a very great loss, not only to the
Presbyterian church but to the cause of
unconditional harmony. He had just re-
signed the passionate of the Second PreSby-
terian church of Brooklyn after thirty
eight years service, and was preaching his
last sermon there, when struck with a Sc
we're pain in the heart. The next day he
attended ministerial meeting apparently
in his usual health. That night the pain
returned, and after obtaining relief he was
conversing in the ordinary way with his
physician when he suddenly began to gasp
and in few moments was dead.

Arlington, Pa, March ,, 1922, graduated
from Princeton in 1876, and has been active

of the best known and most successful
of Inspector Byrnes' staff There are
few men who have wider acquaintance
with the outlaws of society. He has
been the guardian ever since the arcade
was opened. and it is owing to the vigil

suffered by the tenants and the general
public.

Take Plenty of Sleep.

1t is all very we'll to commend get
ting up early in the morning. 1t would
be difficult to exaggerate either the
pleasures or the advantages afforded
by early rising. But to rise early one
must retire early.
A plenty of sleep is one of the first
requisites of health. Fevers and other
diseases are often occasioned by ex-
cessive fatigue. A person should sleep
enough to get thoroughly rested. For
some cause sleep in the early part of
the night seems to be more refreshing
than sleep for the same number of
hours toward morning.
Unfortunately modern social habits
are tending to reverse the order OF ma
ture, turning day into night and night
into day. This is very destructive to
the beauty as well as the health of on
American girls.
1t has been recommended that when
lapy is going to attend a late party
and they are all late nowadays-she
should sleep several hours during the
day previous. It is asserted that the
marvellous beauty of some OF the mid
dle-aged women of England has been
preserved amid all the designations OF
fashionable society in this way.-New
York Ledger.

Sheep Sllearillg.

Many advantages are claimed for
sheep shearing by machinery. The
work is performed more thoroughly
than by hand, it being calculated that
ON an average some ten additional
ounces Of wool per merino sheep are
obtained b. its employment. The
operation, moreover, is carried out
more humanely, the cuts and stabs
often inflicted in hand shearing, more
especially when executed as "piece
work." being entirely avoided, together
with the consequent damage and
deterioration to the pelts. 1t has been
estimated that no less than per cent
of the animals perish from injuries due
principally to hand shearing. The
labor entailed on the operation is also
considerably reduced; and aching
hands, swollen wrists and cuts or stabs
to the worker himself should be things
OF the past.
