ANOTHER SUICIDE.

Some boys. rowing through Golden Gate
Park yesterday morning. found the dead
body of a man lying under fir tree about a
quarter of 4 mile north of the main road to
the Beach, at point where the speed track
comes in at the tank.
The park police were not fed, and they
in turn. informed the Coroner. The latter's
deputies found the body, which was badly
decomposed, death having occurred at least
a month ago. lying ON the left side with a
pistol bullet-hole in the right side of the
head. A small five-chamber revolver was
lying close to the right hand, which was de-
void of flesh.
The remains were clothed in dark cassi-
mere sack suit, white shirt, drawers and
stockings. A black SLOUGH hat and red
handkerchief lay close by. The shoes were
Congress CATERS, recently newly half-soled
and heeled. A small empty purse was in
the pocket There was also small paper
with some writing on it, but it was in such
a condition from the decomposition OF the
body that no attempt to decipher the writ
ing on it can be made until to-day. From
the position in which the body was found
the Coroner believes that it is another case
of suicide.
From some gray hair found on what was
left of the face and beard. the deceased Is
believed to have been an elderly man.

LOVE AND HUMILITY.
The Lesson Considered by Mrs. Cooper's
Bible Class.

The Lesson Considered by Mrs. Cooper's
Bible Class.
At the opening Of the class Mrs. Cooper
stated that she had been invited TO give an
exposition of this lesson at st. Luke's
Church on Monday to-day) at o'clock,
before a convention of Sabbath school
workers. She had promised to do so. The
lesson was "Christ Washing the Disciples
Feet" Jesus having loved his own. loved
them unto the end. This, said Mrs. Cooper,
is the test of all true love-lts unfaltering
continuance. The great lever that is to
raise and save this poor sOrrOw-stricken
world is the unDounded love Of God, as
manifested In Jesus Christ. The supreme
test of Christianity is love. True love means
a willingness to suffer. 1t means what that
mother feels who unwraps herself in the
binding storm that she may wrap her babe
and save its life, even though she perish
herself. Such WAS the love of Christ. III
we will not learn it from him, let us learn
it from motherhood.
George Eliot says: In the love of brave
and faithful man there is always a strain of
maternal tenderness. There never will be
a conversion of this world till Christians
have more of this love. The disciples had
been cOntendins as to who should be the
greatest. Jesus gave them an object lesson.
He rebuked their pride and taught them
the grace OF humility. lie showed them
that whoever would be greatest must show
the spirit Of devotion to the interest and
happiness Of others.
A careful and discriminating analysis
was given as to the nature of true humility.
1t Is not depreciation of ones self; 1t Is
not a crying down of ones self. There is
nothing groveling or abject about it; but
it is Willingness and desire to use all
ones powers to serve others, to help those
that are helpless and to lit up the fallen.
Humility is not quality; it is method of
life. a mode of carrying all our qualities
and faculties and powers. The nOblest
souls always stoop the lOwliest, and they
never plan 10 do it-they do it naturally,
automatically, just as THE fullest and best
ears of corn hang lowest toward the
ground" Great self-respect and great hu-
mility 60 hand in hand. He is truly hum
bic, who. in the Masters spirit, can re-
nounce himself to serve others. Such souls
will always be led by him and taught by
him. 1.-The meek will he guide in judy
ment, the meek will he teach his way"

LATONIA's SUCCESS.
SHOT BY MISTAKE,
A Mexican who Played Highwayman
Once Too often.

A Mexican who Played Highwayman
Once Too often.
II. NJ. Russell, who came up from Alamo,
Lower California, reports that as he was on
his way, accompanied by Joe Peterson, a
Mexican met them about s o'clock in the
evening at a sheltered place in the road and
attempted to hold them up, says the Los
Angeles Daily Times Of last Thursday. He
rode in front Of their horses and shouted
"Ariba" (up), at the same time displaying a
knife or revolver. Taking him for a high
wayman, Peterson fired with his double
barreled shotgun and brought the man
down. The charge (buckshot) took effect in
the mans left breast and left arm, break
ing the bone in the latter. 1t is believed
that the man will die. His name is Pedro
Gastillon. He lives five miles from En-
senada, and is one of the eldest residents
OF that country. HI is about 80 years old
During thirty or forty years he has been in
the habit OF going off on periodical drunk,
and when on his way home driving every
body he met off the road, Whether his
attempt on MesSrs. Russell and Peter
son wus anything more than the usual
bluff is not known, but it is certain that
he tried it once too often. Almost stimuli
taneously with the shooting Peterson jumped
from the buggy to be ready for an ons aught
not knowing who else might be in waiting.
The team took fright at the report of the
gun and ran away, Ovetturning the buggy
and dragging Mr.. Russell some distance
through the brush The near horse received
three buckshot through his ears, aud Mr..
Russell got a bruise on his left cheek, so
near was the gun to his face when 1t was
discharged. The gentlemen were bringing
in their buggy gold bullion to the value OF
about $4,000 and they were naturally on the
lookout for footpadS. hence the prompt exc
cution Of the shot gun.
Mr.. Russell regrets the shooting, as he is
acquainted with Gastillon's family and has
frequently stopped at their place on his way
to and from his mine. 1t Is the wealthiest
family in that section and at one time
owned nearly all of the land thereabout.
OF course the circumstances of the shooting
justified it, as the night was dark, the road
oyergrown with heavy chapparel and the
old mans actions extremely hostile.

THE LATEST FASHIONS.
ZebIine Tails, the Fashionable
Fad of the Moment.

NEW YORK, Oct 13.-Have you seen any
zebline tails used as border trimmngT
To say no is to confess woeful ignorance OF
one of fashions tai ents and prettiest eccen-
trcities. They are introduced everywhere
and anywhere-among the mazes OF an III
tricate braided design hanging on the edge
of coat-tails, brushing against the white arm
exposed by the brevity of ball costume,
rearing themselves in bonnet They are,
in short, the fashionable pets of the autumn.
Aud they are expensive; that makes them,
of course, dearer and more desirable in the
feminine opinion. If sack-coth were
suddenly exhibited in fashionable
establishments at SIS per yard it
would become a popular material for
stylish gowns. 1t is always the uuattain-
able that we desire. Expensive materials
are not always the most becoming. IN fact
rough serges. tweeds and vicunas enhance
the soft beauty of youth, but the high prices
at which richer materials are marker plhcs
them beyond the reach of the multitude ana
thus give them distinction and exclusive
ness which becomes their charm. How we
all, when we were young longed for black
silk gown, and after all what respectable,
expensive, ugly, old-fogyiSh thing Dlack
silk gown Is. What blessing they have
gone out of fashion. There are certainly
few of these antiquities left, which lew
elderly spinsters cling rigidly to, but the
wardrobe of the Flora McFllmsey order
knoweth them not. Iu place of this chaste,
spinster-like material we have rich black
velvet mixed with fur and jet.

Improvement Club.

Work of the Howard-Street Extension
Improvement Club.
At a meeting of the HOward-street Exten-
sion Improvement Club Saturday night
complaint was made that the Spring Valley
Water Company had failed to lay mains on
Precita avenue, from Mission to Folsom, as
ordered by the Board of Supervisors several
months ago.
Several members stated that the substitu-
ton Of smaller electric lights for the larger
ones was more of an injury than benefit to
residents and property-owners at the Mis-
sion. A petition for the return of the
larger light masts will be sent to the Super
visors.
1t was stated that the Board of Supervls-
ors would modify the report of the Commits
sioners for the widening Of Howard street,
and that the expenses would be reduced
5000.
The club elected the following officers to
serve six months: President, Richard E.
Doran; Vice-presdent, E. J. Mize; Secre-
tary, G. S. Lille; Treasurer, William
Kitchen. Messrs. S. Peterson, A. e. Bost,
Richard E. Doran and n. Winants were Sc
lected as delegates to the Federated Im-
movement Clubs.
