THE SAFEST AND BEST INVESTMENT
IN THE WORLD is STOCK IN THE
Southern Land Co.
IL Per Cent. and also Equal Profits
Interest and Profits Payable Every
Three Months.
SHARES, $40 EACH.

We are authorized by the Southern Land Com
pRny to place on sale Ten Thousand Shares
of Stock at the extreme low price of TEN DOL
LARS EACH, $1,000 per share, with guarantee
and pledge of not less than IL per cent. and also
an Equal Proportionate Share in the profits aris-
ing from the investment of total capital in pro-
portion as the number of shares purchaser holds
bears to the total number of shares issued.
By this plan a purchaser may invest any
amount from $40 up to $1,000, with aguarantee
of IL per cent. thereupon, and an honest, equal
share in the profits
Purchasers are secured by the actual holdings
of the Company, (of which they become part
and parcelO amounting to over two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars, and consisting of Inn
proved Real Estate, Investments, etc.
Under no consideration whatever will the total
number of shares issued exceed ten Thousands;
nor will any one purchaser be allowed to sub
scribe and pay for more than one thousand
shares, nor less than one single share, at the uni
form rate of ten dollars per share.
Shares may be withdrawn at any time upon
thirty days notice, the holder thereof being en-.
TITLED to interest thereupon within the first three
months, and to both interest and dividends for
all time thereafter-profits dividends being
declared or divided equally every three months
There is no system of forfeiture, penalty. or en-
forced holding of shares for a time beyond which
it may be inconvenient or impossible for the
purchaser to hold out. The profits are not
jobbed up by a few.
The limited number of shares offered and the
low purchase price make this the safest, surest,
and most profitable investment ever offered in
Washington.

LIFE'S PROBLEM.
DR.. Ayers Views of the Reason
of Mans Being.

Rev. DR.. Alger delivered most enter
tanning and instructive lecture in the par
lOrs Of the Unitarian Church last night the
attention Of the large audience being pre-
served throughout.
His theme was 1.-The Development of Our
Powers and the Training of Them Into
Harmony With the Universe" and after
dwelling in the course of his remarks upon
the pernicious effects OF indulging those alb
struSe speculatiOns and cruel dogmas which
have long perpleXed and oppressed US, the
doctor said:
I" How much more simple, cheering and
satisfying is the view that the end Of our
existence Is the fullneSs OF our existence
than the dark creed of ia taliSm, entangling
us all in perdti0n from the fall of Adam !;
how much more SO than the belief in the
horrid favortiSm of heaven aud hell, lifting
q select few to exclusive bliss, but sinking
the vast majority to hopeless, lifelong mis-
cry; how much more Inviting than that
inNStrica BILE network of metaphysical mys-
teries, which nobody can understand, than
spending uncOunted years of pain and
travail in working out in heart and brain
the problem OF our being here.
us this the object, this the purpose of
our being here? No, it is not. That pur-
pose is TO contemplate nature with fresh

prove our own personality with the virtue
OF an Infinite faith. Or, TO condense these
nVe particulars into one general statement
the end and purpose OF cur being here is
that we may become perfect men and

BALLOT REFORM HISTORY.
ARBEITER zEITUNG.


The Various Phases of n Contested Dis
solution Suit.
The case OF the san Jose Brewers and
Maltsters' Union against the San Francisco
Arbeiter Zeitung has been one Of the most
holly contested pieces of litigation with
which Judge Sanderson has had to deal
since his advent upon the Superior Court
bench. The defendant association is the
proprietor Of a newspaper ostensibly de-
voted TO the cause of labor, and the plaintiff,
as member of the association, claims an
interest In the publication. Judge Sander
son says that there are TWO or more factions
among its members, whose ideas as to the
policy pursued and attitude assumed are
widely divergent, and irregularity aud lille
gslty are freely charged by the one against
the other.
The plaintiff demands the immediate sale
of the paper, it being evident that now,
under the management of the receiver, it is
constantly losing money, and the court Is
urged to order the acceptance of a bid Of
$50 Tor the property, $3.50 Of which is for
the supposed value Of The good will. The
defendant, or members thereof, inimical TO
the plaintiff nave started rival paper, at
tempting TO induce the Subscribers of the
Arbei,er Zeitung to transfer their patron
age to it and devotlng its columns to the
abuse OF the adverse !iJigantS and the court.
Judge SanGerson depIOres the fact that
by the law recently passed he has no sum-
mary redress az inst such yirulent attacks.
He would be unwilling 10 descend from his
dignity, he says, to resort TO an action for
damages, and regards the matter merely as
an instance of the natural misuse of this
newborn liberty Of the press conceived
rather in the exuberanee Of the spirit Of
freedom than in malice.
lie further says that added age will I'M
doubtedly cool The blood Of this journalistic
enterprise aud bring to it that calmnesS and
fairness Of statemrE, which so generally
eharacterizes the utts RANGES of older jour-
nails when c0mmen in upon courts and
Judges, and in decision rendered yester-
day, reviewing succlncty the facts in the
case, the court decided not to grant the
prayer for the sale of the paper, at least at
this stage of the suit.
