TOPIC FOR WEEK BEGINNING

Preparation for the week of
prayer.

10.
SEED THOUGHTS.
Prayer is an instrument so simple
that boy or girl can useit success
fully, and so mighty that it meets
the needs of philosopher or sage.
The Lord gives increase, but he
expects us to prepare the way and
SOW the seed.
To get all we can out Of the week
Of prayer we ought to have fifty-one
other weeks of prayer.
One good way to prepare for the
week of prayer is to attend the
prayer-meetings now.
A million and a half of Chris
tan EndeavOrers will do their share
in giving life and power to the SER
vices.
Are you going to let your voice
be heard? You say you can't
make a very smooth prayer? 1t is
the prayer and not its smoothness
which God notices.
You go to your mother and say
PPM hungry; please feed me" or
to your father and say, "please
give me new suit of clothes. 3"
Tell your heavenly Father what
YOU need, and remember that he is
more willing than they are to give
you good things. Let the church
bow before the Lord and tell him
what it needs, He always hears
that sort of prayer.
Where two or three meet to pray,
the Lord promises his blessing.
What showers Of blessing will fall
from the throne when the whole
church is on its knees,
Don't whine your prayers. God
has crowned us with the dignity Of
his own image, and | don't believe
he looks on us as groyeling bcggars,
but as worthy subjects asking rea-
Sonable favors at our sovereign 5
hand.
Be pretty sure You are asking for
thing you ought to get, and then
pray as though you expected it.
When we are asking God for new
mercies for new year, let us not
forget to thank him for past ia
vOrs.
Suppose you think out a list Of
things you want to pray for, just as
Il merchant prepares a memoran-
dunn Of what he intends to pur-
chase at the Wholesalers. Previous
meditation is as helpful prepara-
ton for prayer as | know.
If you want to be sure of an
answer to your prayer, base it on Il
Bible promise.
Let effort follow prayer. When
a man prayed the Lord togive food
to the poor, his little son said,
"Give me the key to the granery,
and I'll answer your prayer my
self"
Some good things to pray for
during the week of prayer: More
grace and faithfulness for Chris
tians; better attendance at the
preaching and devotional services;
stronger support of the ministry
and more liberal and systematic
giving for missions; conviction of
sinners; more power to lead them
to Christ: still greater increase in
the army of young people banded
together for specific work for Christ
and the church.

TIE BALL MURDER.
A Negress Under Arrest for Compile
ity in the Crime,
Mrs. Lizzie Lewis, Who Received the
Plunder, is Overhauled at
San Francisco.

Under Sheriff Thomas E. Bevans of
Marysville arrived in Sacramento yester-
day from San Francisco, having in GUS
tody Mrs. Lizzie Lewis, lniddle-aged
colored woman. She was locked up in
the City Prison to await the departure Of
the train for Marysyille.
Mrs. Lewis was arrested at the metrop-
oils on warrant issued by Justice Gar
Der of MarysvilIe, charging her with
murder. The woman is accused of COM
plicity in the murder Of 6 George Ball in
July, 1890.
The story of the killing Of Bali is famil-
lar to the readers of the RECORD UNION.
After what appeared to be an almost
hopeless search, two negroes, George
Maddox and William Ousley were ar
rested for the crime. On the preliminary
examination Ousley turned States evil
dence and testified that he, Maddox and
another negro, named George Collins
committed the crime, and that Collins
gave the plunder TO the woman Lewis
| Collins has since been killed, being
stabbed to death in a brawl III Stockton
Mrs. Lewis was servant in house of
! i'll repute in Marysville, and the officers,
for some reason best known TO them
selves, did not charge her with any
crime. Ousley subsequently gave addi-
tional information that no doubt con-
nected Mrs. Lewis more closely with the
murder of Ball than simply a receiver Of
stolen property,
Two weeks ago the woman disappeared
and the officers did not get on her track
until Saturday, when Mrs. Lewis little
girl, l3 years of age, started for San
Francisco. Deputy Sheriff Bevans fol-
lowed the child to S07 Kearny street,
where he and Police officer Anderson
found the mother.

one a triple. Very little interest was
manifested, for the San Francisco club
took great lead at the start and kent
increasing it to the finish. The score was
15 to s. "'''
Hassamer gave about as raw an exbi-
Dlnon of ball-playing as has been seen
here this season. The chances on which
ne erred were easy ones, and in fact the
only points he did make were on the
most difficult plays.
McCloskey showed how he could not
play IN right field, and McGuirk quit the
game after five innings. He had made
his base on bunt hit and became So in
toxicated with joy that a rheumatic pain
caught him in the calf of the leg and he
was compelled to retire. Following is

CLOSED IN STYLE.
The Sacramento Team Does Some
Beautiful Work,
And Makes Show of the San Fran
ciscos as Fitting Windup to
an Inglorious Season.

1t seemed somewhat strange that the
San Franciscos could suffer defeat at
the hands of the Senators, just after hav-
ing given the latter team two severe
drubbings, but such was the case yester-
day when Mr.. Harris team tried to
accomplish its third successive victory
over the Sacramentos.
The tables were turned in great style,
and the result was disaster to San Fran
cisco by a score of 8 to l. 1t was thought
by almost everyone present that the con-
test would be walk-over for the visitors,
and many were inclined to believe that
the home team did not care much to win.
They were mistaken, however, and the
result made several think that possibly
the games on Friday and Saturday might
! have been gratuitously presented to the
visiting team for friendships sake.
The Sacramentos played frst-class ball
yesterday. The game on their part was
an errorless one, and they showed how
| they could support a pitcher who was try
ing to win. Hoffman worked as though
he wanted to win the last battle in Sacra-
mento, and he succeeded admirably. He
was not particularly effective, but the
/ support given him was so faultleSS that
the game could not be other than a Sacra-
mento victory.
Marvellous running catches by Good
! enough, McCloskey and Parrot in the
/ outer gardens, ana quick and accurate
! infleld work by Reitz, Hassamer, Nc
Guirl and Hustin, were the obstacles
which stood in the way of the San Fran
ciscos when they were trying hard to
score.
| A double play that is rarely accom-
! plished on the diamond was made yester-
! day by McGuirk. Hassamer and ReitZ.
! Sweeney had reached first base and
/ Sharp drove the ball at McGuirk, who
picked it OF the ground and threw to
! Hassamer at second base, shutting out
/ Sweeney. Hass&mer Immediately re-
! turned the ball to Reitz, who had very
! properly thought to cover first base, and
! Sharp, the batter, was out. The throw of
! HaSsaner was somewhat wild, but ReitZ
! thrust out his left hand and the ball
stuck there. The play was cheered
! Justify.
! The Sacramentos had the game won
after the first inning, for before they
were retired six Of their side had crossed
| the plate. Two errors on the part of the
San Franciscos came in handy in allow
! ing the home team to score, and besides,
Hustin and Hoffman made three baggers
and AIcGuirk and Parrott singles
| The game was the last of the season in

A Grand Rough-and-tumble Fight at

the Adams Shanty.
There is a rookery in the alley between
i and NJ, Fifth and Sixth streets, known
to the neighborhood as the House of
Blazes,' and the attention of the police
has been directed frequently to the dis
turbances that take place there nightly.
The place is occupied by a degraded
woman named Mrs. Adams, who has
five little children that are fast going
to the bad. The house is frequented by
negroes and low people from the lower
L-street district, and their orgies are dis
graceful.
Saturday night there was the usual
time" there, and, ,as is invariably the case,
1t wound up in a free fight. The Adams
woman, the notorious Mary Brown and
colored man, it is said. administered a Sc
we're beating to a white man named Pol
lack. The latter complained at the Police
Station, and as a result the Adams and
Brown women were arrested for battery.
The negro could not be found, but proba-
bly, will be in custody soon. Officer
Lowell, who arrested the Adams woman,
says that her house is the dirtiest and
foulest place he ever entered in his life.
