LITTLE PROGRESS MADE
DR.. Ellis Objection Leads to An.
other POstpOnement.

An attempt Yas made yesterday In Cal
vary Church by the San Francisco Presbf-
terry to commence the trial OF ex-PastOr
Ellis Of the Central Tabernacle on the
charge of conduct unbecomng a minister
in appealing from the spiritual to civil
court and for using abusive language to the
members of the presbytery.
No progress was made during the day
and the proceedings received a complete
stop by q successful objection raised by DR..
Ellis that the necessary ten days had not
elapsed since the serving of the citations.
The prosecution argued that notice had
been given previous TO the meeting of the
presbytery on August 3D.; but the feeling
OF the body was in favor of acting cautious
ly, ana the charges were. after considerable
discussion, referred back 10 the Judicial
Committee for amendment.
The whole of the morning session was
taken up with the discussion of objections
raised by DR.. Ellis TO the wording of the
minutes and to deciding on the applications
Of members 10 be excused from attend
ance. Leave was granted in the cases of
Elder Thompson. DIR. Minton and ex-Judge
Thornton.
a motion to refer the trial to the Synod
opened the afternoon proceedings, and was
discussed at some length in open session.
DIR. Mackenzie spoke strongly in favor of
the reference ON the ground that delicacy
should bar the members of the presbytery
they are interested.
The Rev. DR.. Sheerer at once moved that
the body go into executive session, and the
presbytery proceeded 20 debate the question
Of reference for one hour aud half with
closed doors.
The motion to refer was then put and
lost, fifteen voting in its favor and twenty
being opposed to it.
Several applications to be excused from
attending having been refused, Dr.
Kerr having read the charges. DIR. Ellis was
Invited to enter his plea. This took the
form Of a written series of objections to the
competency of the court.
The first two were at once overruled, but
the third raised an unexpected difficulty.
This took the form that the Book of Dis
cipline required that ten days intervene
between the commencement of the trial and
the serving Of the citations. The necessary
papers, DR.. Ellis pointed out, were served
ON him at the presbytery on August Sd, and
the necessary time had not elapsed.
The question whether August Sd was the
real date from which the ten days should
be counted, or whether the citation had not
been previously made, led to an animated
discussion.
The difficulty was at length settled by a
motion of DR.. Matthews, which, with altera-
tons proposed by DR.. Sheerer. ran that the
trial be postponed aud the charges be re-
ferred back to the Judicial Committee for
alteration and amendment.
The presbytery will meet to hear the CON-
mlttee's report on Monday morning at 10
o'clock.

gar and subsequently to bride a servant was
not much more difficult. and Clara ret urned
home sadder and wiser, although greatly
exhausted.
She was not a woman, however, patiently
TO submit to be thus wronged, and she
cooily planned the murder of her rival,
which she accomplished one dark night with
q parlor pistol, having obtained the keys
from the servants and concealed herself in
the -boudoir until after Klunda had retired.
Although this actually occurred during the
absence of Komlos in Budapest. he was ar
rested and tried for the crime, the police be-
ing aware of the liaisoD, the theory of the
authorities being that the deed was commit
ted during lovers quarrel.

A GOVERNMENT OF LAWS.
A Letter That Is Addressed to the Presi

Letter That Is Addressed to the Presi-
dent of the United States.
Editor Romans Column, Morning. Call:
When President Harrison was on his way
to this State it was reported that in his speech
at Knoxville, Tenn, he made use of the fol-
lowing language: ''We live in a government
of law. We may safely differ in pol itics 4:
we may safely divide on a question as to
what shall be law; but when the law is nee
enacted no community can safely divide on
the question of implicit obedience TO the law
l may not choose rs President what laws
shall enforce, and citizen may not choose
what laws he will obey. Upon this broad
principle our institutions rest" It's long
time since we have heard such language
from PUBLIC official. We hail these ex-
pressions with delight Permit me to call
the Presidents attention to the following
facts: The State of California has In its
Constitution law in direc: conflict with
the Federal Constitution. which says in Ar
ticle ~, Section 4, THE United States shall
guarantee TO every State in this Union a
republican form of government" republic
being government in which the people vote
for electors, etc. Not white or black peo-
or women, bat the people In their
entirety. Article vi, Clause 2. says, "Ihis
Constitution and the laws of the United
States shall be the supreme law of the land,
and the Judges in every State shall be
bound thereby, anything in the laws
or Constitution of any State to the contrary
notwithstanding" Article XIV, Section :
"All persons born aud naturalized in the
United States, and subject to the jurisdc
ton thereof, are citizens of the United States
and of the State wherein they reside" Arti.
Gle XIV, Section 1; .The right of citizens of
the United States to vote shall not be de-
MED or abridged by the United States. or by
any State" In the face of these plain laws,
and in spite Of them, the State Of California
persists in keeping In her Constitution a
law which DISTINGUISHES nearly one-half of
the citizens of the State. In the STATE quail
hcatiou OF voters we read: ''All male cit-
zens Il years of age. ETC.. shall vote" We,

Earning Something by Breaking in Shoes
for Women.
There are many queer ways TO earn
money, but one of the queerest Is noted by
the Pittsburg Dispatch in the following
item:
Wearing shoes Is my business" said n
woman the other day. SIT began in this
way: A schoolmate of mine had the good
luck TO marry q wealthy man. She had al
ways suffered from tender feet, and at
school l used to break in her new shoes for
her by wearing them few days. Stretch
ing on last wont serve the same eud, be-
cause last cracks. without softening the
leather; there's nothing like the tread of
the foot to do that.
''Well, when my friend married she In
sisted on my accepting from her trifle for
breaking in her shoes. l named so cents a
pair. There were other women to whom
she mentioned her idea, and about half a
dozen, who wore the same number as do,
gave me their custom. Gradually my queer
little business increased, so by the time my
daughters grew up l never had to buy
shoes for them or myself, and l often en-
ployed girls outside when my customers
sizes do not fit any of US.
81 keep the buttons on the shoes in ad-
dition TO stretching them when new, l
charge 10 cents for putting the buttons on,
be TO replace. l also brush and put shoe
polish on them. The charge for this is %
cents, and the shoes are sent TO me and
called for. For years, | think, / stood alone
In the business, but now the visiting maid
includes the care of shoes in her duties, so
that but for having my own patronesses she
would cutthe ground from under my always
news n cd feet"

A Discharged Chinese Steals From His
Employers Safe.
Ho Sing Chow was employed as sales
man in the Chinese bazaar at 437 Bush

charged for negligence. Several days later
Jang Hing King, the proprietor. closed the
store and went to Chinatown on business.
While returning he met Chow coming down
Bush street within half block of the store.
Upon entering the store King discovered
that the sale had been opened during his
absence and S69S 80 taken. He reported the
matter to the police and watch was placed
on Chow's room, but he did not return until
yesterday, when he was promptly arrested
by Detectives Cox and Glennon for grand
larceny. Chow vigorously denied the crime.

What Is a Newspaper Woman ?


Editor Vontdn'S Column, Morning Call /:
Among certain class of people there is a
tendency to speak slightingly of woman,
and to deprecate all her work along any of
the lines wherein she has shown that she is
able to earn her living. Such people take
delight in poking fun at her in a mean, IN
demanded way. This quality is sometimes
found in women themselves as well as In
men. 1t is contemptble, especially when it
goes hand In hand with newspaper misrep-
reseutatiOn. 1t Is one thing to satirize the
follles OF women, quite another to ridicule
their earnestneSs and high resolve.
In reporting the recent meeting, GORE
spondentS' Day" of the Pacific Coast
Woman'S Press Association, a local daily
said that the papers read were impractical,
full of sage and erudite information. and
weighty, abstruse and abstract advice as to
the reformation of the world. This is not
true. The papers were practical, and writ
ten from correspondents standpoint by
women who had had experience in that very
line. And, as if to make the report all the
more contemptu0uS, some quasi sarcastic
editor headed the article with a brilliant
line: The stockings Listen in Silent
Awe to Real Newspaper Woman"
In the first place, whatever was the
origin and first meaning or subsequent
meaning of the word "blue-stocking," it is
now used principally as an opprobrious
term to ridicule the prrtensions of won en-
to literary ability. Again, the heading, if
it means anything at ALL was designed to aid
the context in spreading the idea that until
the WOman's Press Association had had
the honor of receiving that pioneer of
newspaper women, Mrs. Sally Joy White,
aud had sat listening with breathless atten-
tiGn to her clear, ringing words of apprecia-
tion and sympathy. they never had among
them real live newspaper woman.
We have, and not only one, either, but
many, if earning their living by their news
paper work, being on the regular staff Of
metropolitan daily, preparing special mat
ter for the weekly papers or big Sunday
editions, can constitute any claim to be-
longing in the newspaper ranks.
TIE women of the press associations all
over the country are not 'soul-reapers," nor
ky-scrapeIS, either. They are earnest,
practical women, not few OF them the sole
owners and editors of country papers. All
are working steadily to do what is right and
good in the way of newspaper work, to do
what is honorable, aud with patriotic intent
to bring about the greater prosperity of
State and country.
1t may be gallant to ridIcule them as
women-it may be manly to attempt by
mean slurs to discourage their earnest eff
forts; but is it? DI VERNON.

Paris, Aug. 9-GaaFois published the

III. arrived today at kiel. and IS at present
unable to leave the yacht. The emperor's
condition is much more grave than sill be
admitted, for not only does he suffer from
the knee joint and ear trouble. but terribly
severe rheumatic pans absolutely nail him
to the chair. and viii compel him to re-
main utterly Inactive for at least
fortnight without the prospect of stirring.
The doctors, while stating the alarming
news circulated is exaggerated. say that if
the emperor continues 10 refuse to submit
TO the treatment prescribed for rheuma-
tlsm, it must soon assume more serious
aspect and attack the heart. For the mo-
rnent he is quite unable 10 undertake any
work, and il is thought that mis- stay at
Kiel may benefit him if he keeps 10 the
regime laid down. But they fear his ardent
temperament will not resign itself 10 en-
forced repose
There is much anxiety as to the condi-
ton of the emperor, and uneasiness Is felt
as to what viii be the outcome should his
disease have a fatal ending. These
thoughts are remarkable, as the en-
peror does not husband his resources, and
will surely continue the series Of fatiguing
journeys and duties as soon as
the first sign of improvement begins.
1t is an absolute fact that the emperor
cried with pain when moved. His ear
trouble is increasing and causes frequent
epileptic fits, which are recurring at shorter
intervals and with greater Intensity than
before, so that the most serious apprehen-
sions are entertained as TO the result
throughout the German empire.
