The HERALD is in receipt OF a note,
dated Geneva, New York, from Mr..
William B. Dunning, the general man
ager of the Seneca Lake Steam Naviga-
tion company. Mr.. Dunning, who spent
Bome time in Southern California, is
very much interested in HERALD LAKE,
recently formed near Salton, on the Col
orado desert. He asks US some questions
whose answer we shall defer until we learn
the result Of Capt. Frazer's recent ex-
pedition on the lake. While we defer
discussion of the possibilities attending
this remarkable body of water, whose
existence was first made known through
tho columns of the HERALD, we think
that our readers will be interested in

IT WAS just trifle warm yesterday.
The signal service reported the highest
range of the mercury at 100 degrees in
the shade. This is by long odds the
highest re cord made by the signal SER
vice since that bureau was established
in Los Angeles. OF course, this knocks
out most of the extreme records of the
east, but it is worthy of remark that not
q single case of sunstroke has been re-,
ported in Los Angeles county. 1t was
aday in which people of amply nourished
bodies leaked" if they happened to be
in the sun, and struck anything like
sprinting pedestrian gait. Our people
hied them to the seashore and to the
mountains, and they rejoiced that
within an hour, they have such in
comparable meteorological coigns of
vantage SO near at hand. The people
Of Riverside, Cotton, San Bernardino,
Ontario, Pomona and other contiguous
points, poured down en- masse to Santa
Monica, Redondo, Long Beach, Santa
Catalina, and other points fronting old
ocean, and were consoled and made glad
exceedingly.

CALIFORNIA is again to be subjected to
a humiliation at Chicago. Three times
we have presented candidates for the
position of chief of the horticul ural
bureau OF the Worlds Fair. Not con-
tented with evoking as to three gentle
men the defeat that seems to be our
special delight, we have ignored the old
adage that the third time is the charm.
We have seen, successfully, Maxwell,
Chapman and Forsyth knocked out, and
there are persons who are sanguine
enough to believe that fourth candi-
daee shows any better chance than his
predecessors. The HERALD ls not of
that number. It would be more in
consonance with the dignity of the
state to accept our defeat gracefully, and
to apply ourselves to winning golden
opinions by the completeness and
splendor of our exhibit. Here is where
we can get in our work with unmatched
success. The next time Califor4ia has

OUR contemporaries, who have been
left out on the scheme of railway devel-
opment of Southern California, which
was outlined in the HERALD the other
day on excellent information, pretend
to be facetious as to the matter. OF
course, not having been taken into the
confidence Of the dispensers of authentic
information, this is all that is left to
them. 1t will have been observed by
readers of the HERALD that we did not
assume that we derived any of our in
formation from either the Messrs. Rowan
or La Motto. Those gentlemen are en-
tirely too ''fiy" to give away any details
Of real estate or other movements in
which they may have been engaged.
What we claimed was that our informa-
ti0n came substantially from headquar
ters, and was reliable. We regret that
the sources of information of our con-
temporaries is neither as good nor as
reliable as our own. But we have not
one word to modify or take back. The
programme outlined by us will be car
ricd out, and the people of Santa Monica,
Los Angeles and Southern California
may rejoice accordingly.

Public Opinion and Morality.

The Rev. DR.. Wayland thus happily
describes the attitude of public opinion
toward morality: 1--WE go along and
wink with both eyes at the wrongdoings
and shortcomings of A and also of B,
and eke of 9, and all the rest of them;
but by the time we get to o or P, we
pull up and cry aloud that this thing has
gone too far, and we must make stand;
and SO we come down upon P, who is
not whit more guilty than any one else,
his only crime consisting in the fact that
he CHANGED to be standing just in the
place where the lightning struck; and
we denounce P; we excoriate P; we os-
tracise p,
"Having done that, our virtue, wearied
with the unwonted exercise, falls asleep,
and all the other letters go along doing
exactly the same thing, until finally, by
the time < is reached, we wake up again
and go through the same process. If one
wants to go astray with impunity all he
has to do is to select his time and run in,
as it were, between the spasms of public
virtue" New York Tribune.

The sailors of the Charleston, while in
Los Angeles, had much pleasanter ex-
perience than that recorded in the City
of Bay'n Climate. Here nobody at

they were resisting perhaps illegal ar
rest. Whenever an honest Jack Tar

paned to get little full, he was either
taken care of by our police authorities,

FAILED TO SCORE.
THE CHARLESTONS GAIN ANOTHER
BRILLIANT VICTORY.
and Is Well Supported by His Team.
A Good Natured Contest.

The Charlestons were victorious in the
football match yesterday afternoon and
again the Los Angeles club failed to
score point against their formidable
opponents. The match took place at
Redondo and there was a fashionable
attendance, Notwithstanding that it re-
quired considerable effort to stay out in
the hot sun. but the naval officers are
immensely popular at Redondo and the
whole hotel turned out en- masse to
watch the Charlestons exhibit their
prowess. Curtis d. Wilbur was referee
and B. Benjamin, OF the HERALD, UNI
pire.
Catlin captained the Charlestons and
Keller handled the Los Angeles eleven.
The Los Angeles team had been strength
ened by the inclusion OF Billy Stewart,
Homer Young and Pemberton. The
game was scorcher from the call of
time and the ball was gradually forced
in close proximity to the Los Angeles
goal. The ground was stubbornly con-
tested but the superior weight of the
Charlestons counted very materially in
all the scrimmages. Three times in the
first half did the naval officers secure
touchdowns. Captain Catlin had an off
day at kicking and failed to put the
sphere over the goal, although he re-
deemed himself later on by making a
very difficult goal.
After the usual rest play was re-
sumed. The ball alternated in close
proximity to both goals, the play being
fast and furious. Each team played as
hard as they knew how. The Los An
geles team showed to better advantage
in this half, but Notwithstanding their
strenuous efforts failed to register one
tally, the Chareston's winning by
score of IS toS.
The Charlestons put up a great team
game. Catlin did effective work and
played brilliantly throughout. Roth
ganger also put up rafting good game
and made several fine runs. In fact,
the whole eleven did famously, Church
hills tackle of Billy Stewart, being espe-
cially worthy of mention. Several of
the Los Angeles team did clever work,
but there was too much individual ef-
fort and not sufficient team work.
Stewart made splendid run.
Keller played his usual strong game
and the whole team distinguished
themselves by their fine tack
ling. With more practice and or
ganized team work. the Los Angeles
would have tirst-class football team.
The greatest good nature was exhibited
throughout the match, and cheers were
given for the victors and vanquished in
right hearty manner. The Los An
geles boys were royalty entertained on
the Charleston at the conclusion of the
match. The visit of the Charleston
will have tendency to create greater
interest in football the coming season.
The teams were made up as follows:

ont from the Charleston they were able
to sing the refrain of the song, "Tis the

to which he applies his muscle and
pluck. Our Los Angeles boys would dc
well to apply themselves to learning the
alphabet of this game, at least when it
comes to Uncle Sans Jack Tars.

COLLECTING . Debt.

There are debts and debtors, and to
get the former out of the latter some
times requires good deal of ingenuity.
The case of livery stable keeper and a
poor paying patron indicates that fact,
and, as one is dead and the other in Eu-
rope, the story may be told. The patron
had run up big bill on the livery man
and neglected to pay.
It amounted to $93, and had he SO
wished the debtor could have easily set
tied at any time. But he didn't wish.
He knew that his creditor would not sue,
because such course, for various reasons,
would be unwise. Appeals were in vain,
threats were unheeded, and the creditor
was at his wits end. Finally he hit
upon scheme. He had his bookkeeper
make out a bill for $3.50, and sent it to
his debtor by messenger, with a request
for immediate payment of the whole
amount. Then he sat down and waited
In less than twenty minutes the Office
door was thrown open and a man en-
tered. 1t was the debtor, and he was
mad clear through. "You swindling
villainl" he howled, shaking his fist
under the liveryman's nose. "What do
you mean by sending me bill for $3.50?
l don't owe you anything like that
amount. and I'll not pay it. TIL have
you understand that I'm too fly for you.
Here's ninety three dollars, and you'll
not get a cent more.
Saying this he threw the money on
the desk, and glared at the livery man
with hatred in his eye. No one an
swered him, however, and then he de-
manded receipt. 1t was given him in
silence, he left the Office ba1Aing the
door after him, and then the liveryman
chuckled. Then he laughed. Then he
roared. His scheme was a success, and
the bill was paid. -Pittsburg Dispatch.

Many pleasantries are written and
spoken about the capriciousness of female
servants, but it is doubtful if, as class,
they approach in captiousness the male
domestic servants employed by the rich.
Good male servants are hard to get, and
proportionately hard to please.
A gentleman had engaged an English
valet de chambre at good wages, and
everything had apparently been salts

Wesley Monumental Church.

The services at Wesley Monumental
church were lmpressively commemorative
of the great event which Easter recalls. The
church was beautifully decorated. Inside
the altar rail were rows of potted plants,
many Of them in bloom. Outside the rail
were banks of moss and evergreen The
pulpit was covered with bouquets and cut
flowers, and on each side were pots of Easter
lilies in bloom. The effect of the decora-
lions was fine, the handsome in

the efforts OF the decorators
The music was on keeping with the other
services. At the opening the glad anthem.
Christ the Lord is Risen To-day" was sung,
and after it, the hymn, Lord, w ben Thou
Didst Ascend on High.
A responsive scripture reading was fol-
lowed by the trio, Praise Ye," and the
hymn, Come Ye Saints, Look Here and
Wonder" and the oiTertory, "Alloluia :

st. Matthew's church celebrated the
joyous feast in an elaborate manner. The
pretty little edlflce was decorated in keep
ing with the glad festival. Around the
chancel were ranged large potted plants,
the walls were hung with palms and
wreaths of laurel leaves, and the altar was
decorated with choice flowers. Morning
services, followed by the holy communion,
were held at IL O'Clock. The musical pro-
gramme, as published In yesterdays MORN

The singing as a whole showed a careful
training and delightful effect. Mr.. George II.
Thompson presided at the organ and
directed the music.
Rev. o. p. Fitzimons preached an elo-
quent sermon on the Resurrection" He
spoke of how Christ had shown by his suf-
ferlng death that it was an end which no
good christian should fear, but rather as
something to be looked forward to as the
beginning of a new existence in che beauti-
full realm of heaven-an existence eternally
joyful. A large congregation was present,
and the chapel was taxed to its utmost to
accommodate the people.

The morning dawned clear and bright,

crowds of worshipers. After the early
mass at the Cathedral the streets in the
vicinity were thronged with gaily dressed
people. At the 1890 o'clock and IL o'clock
services, though, the crowds were the
greatest, and never has Savannah seen a
more brilliant Easter display. The churches

TO START A MISSION.

Christ Church to Organic One in the
Southeastern Part of the City.
Christ church expects to establish a mis-
sion soon in the district east of Henry and
Abercorns Streets. That part of the city is
said to contain $50 houses and about twenty
two places where intoxicants are sold, and
to have large population of chilire2.
There is no Episcopal church in that sectif1
of the city and it is believed that one would
do a good work there.
In connection with the mission it is pro-
posed TO start industrial classes for boys and
girls and class for mothers on a plan that
has been successful in England. The neces-
sary money will probably soon be secured
and the mission instituted. There is some
talks OF its being made memorial to the
late Bishop Beckwith.

St. Patrlck's Church.

The decorations at st. Patrick's church
showed off with fine effect. The affairs
were covered with profusioa of white
vases, symbolic of the feast, and upward
of eighty candles lent brilliancy to the
scene. High mass was celebrated at 1890
o'clock by Father O'Donovsn Of Boston.
The music was the best ever heard in the
sacred edihce. 1t was the FIRST time Wei
gand's mass was ever sung in Savannah,
and it was carried through in a manner
which exceeded the fondest authorizations of
even the choir. The singing was under the
direction of Miss Ida O'Byrue, who also
presided at the organ. The "Veni Creator"
by Mrs. Altlck, soprano solo, and chorus,
was well rendered.
The cffertory, "Ecce Pants" by Miss
Josie King, w. p. Bailey and H. A. Dumas
was the feature of the musical services,

He said in the death and resurrection of
