COMMENT AT HOME AND ASRoA
Chicago Ministers Hesitate to Denounce
Mob Law-Press Opinions

Mob Law-Press Opinions
CHICAGO, March IA meeting of
Methodist clergyman hesitating to &c
nounce mob law was the spectacle pre-
sented in Chicago yesterday at the regular
weekly meeting OF the clergy of that de-
nomination. This body is generally not
slow at putting its opinions on record
in regard to any matter affecting public
morals in any degree. Yesterday Rev. f.
NJ Bristol and cour other minister pre-.
sented a set of resolutions declaring that.
though the body deplored the failure of
justice in the courts, either in New Or
leans or elsewhere, lynch law is utterly
abhorrent to free institutions
Startling Talk of DIR. Bland.
DR.. Bland was very much opposed 10
the passing Of such 4 resolution when
the law will not take care of lot of muir
derers, it's time the people did some
thing" He further deprecated any hasty
action on the part of the meeting, and
wanted to wait awhile until both sides of
the question could be heard Revs Elk
tell and Goodwin also opposed action, and
finally the resolution was referred to
committee, upon which Revs Bristol and
Burch, who signed the resolution, refused
to serve, while DR.. Bland, the most per-
sistent opposer of action, was made a
member thereof, and the matter was post
poned for a week.

William Leadbetter, for several years
section boss OF the V. & T. r. X. in
Virginia City, left his job a few weeks
ago and settled near Corvallis, Oregon,
on a farm which he purchased. His
idea was to build a home to be per-
petuated by his children. While at
work in a well Is feet deep, several
days ago, he came across black look
ing stuff that his mining education
was sufficient to whisper in his ear
that it contained mineral. Mr.. Lead
better accordingly sent some of it to
Professor +. L. Fielding of the Con.
Cal. Va. assay Office, and in due time
received the following reply: Much

would advise you to develop the mat

A Considerable Parent.

1t is not every father who grows up
to be a comfort to his children. They
tell OF one in Virginia who came down
stairs the other morning and found
that instead Of his daughter sending
her " Study company" home at the
prescribed IL 80 p. NJ, the night be-
fore, they had actually fallen asleep
on the same chair, were still peace
fully slumbering at 8 A. NJ. Now, in
stead OF hunting up his shotgun, what
did this model parent do? He quietly
instructed the China boy to add an
other plate to the breakfast table,
tucked the morning paper into the
young mans pocket, and then awoke
the couple by the soft strains OF the
T" Wedding March from the piano in
the next room. Parents like this are
as few and far between as the wagons
in a circus parade in Carson.-Carson

Thunder end Lightning.

The people of Austin were treated
to an electrical storm last Thursday,
OF which the Advocate says: The
rumbling Of the thunder and the bril-
liant flashes OF the lightning we're ter
rible, and it was pitiful to hear the
shrieks Of women and children and to
see strong men grow pale with fright,
but could they be blamed when they
thought that the next fash might
wipe from the earth all that they hold
30 dear, home, wife and children. Do
not laugh strangers when you read
this, for if you had been here you
would have felt the same as some OF
our people did and run Tor your cellar
to hide (if you had one) to be pro-
tected from the wrath Of nature. Such
a v storm was never known in
this country before, and the wish of
the community is that they may
never witness another.

DEATH OF JUDGE sAwYER.
ne Suddenly Expires I'm San Fran


Judge Lorenzo Sawyer died at his
residence in San Francisco at 7:3O
o'clock Monday evening. Although
Judge Sawyer has been in bad health,
he was not considered to be danger
ously i'll, and the news OF his death is
a surprise to the friends Of the emin-
ent jurist.
Deceased was born in lie Ray, JEFF
ferson county, New York, May %,
1920; worked on his fathers farm in
his youth, and, after removing to
Pennsylvania and then to Ohio,
finished his studies at Western Re.
serve College. He then studied law,
was admitted to the bar in 1916, and
after successive removals to Illinois
and Wisconsin, went in 1850 to Cali
fornia, where he worked for some
time in the mines. He settled in
Sacramento in the practice OF his pro-
fession, and, after q brief residence in
Nevada, went in 1853 70 San Fran
cisco, where he has since remained.
He became City Attorney in 1854, was
appointed Judge OF the District Court
OF the State in 1862, and in 1868 was
elected a Justice OF the State Supreme
Court, Of which he was Chief Justice
in 1S6S-'70. In the latter year he be-
came U. S. Circuit Judge for the
ninth circuit, embracing all the Pa
ci6c States. Judge Sawyer's decisions,
both as a State and a Federal Judge,
have been highly commended.

A MAD MAHALA.

A few days ago a gentleman living
in the western portion Of the city took
home a few sheets of sticky ny paper,
and scattered them around the house,
and the kitchen table getting a supply.
As the meal time approached the
lady Of the house endeavored to get
them out OF the way and in so doing
placed n on a chair near the stove.
Shortly afterward the untutored saw
age who has been grub staked by the
family for some time came in quietly
and sat in the aforesaid chair. Being
attired in light and airy costume, 1t
took but a few moments for her to
discover that something was wrong
with the chair. On getting up 10 in
v~estigate, and finding her dress and
the bottom Of the chair dangling to her
too, too solid anatomy, something was
ready TO drop. With a few well
chosen Washoe remarks expressive Of
her indignation and disgust, such as
heap dam fool" etc., the operation
OF disrobing soon left her standing
clothed in nothing save a pair Of shoes
and a bead necklace. A cast off
wrapper belonging to the lady host,
was soon covering her nymph like
figure, and with the promise Of a new
dress, and an extra allowance Of grub

hope he will reach here a little prior to

and instead OF resolving that lit is a
good thing to establish storage reser-
voirs in arid regions" it might change
to the resolution that a great univer-

Mr.. Frank Melbourne may teach the
art of talking the skies into clouds,
