THE EPWORTH LEAGUE.
YESTERDAYS PROCEEDINGS AT
LONG BEACH.
ture-A Synopsis of His Address-Many
People at the Beach.

The beach yesterday was covered with
pleasure seekers, the town was gay with
bunting and flags floated from many a
staff.
Tie assembly programme was given
over to the temperance cause. At $50
Nations Day prayer-meeting was held
at the tabernacle. This was followed
with carefully prepared paper by Rev.
J. M. Glass, of Pasadena, entitled The
Attitude of the Church to the Prohibi-
ton Party.
At IL O'Clock the tabernacle was filed
to its full capacity with temperance
sympathizers of all parties and all de-
grees, to listen to Judge WA. Cheney,
the orator Of the day.
The following is most brief outline
OF his speech:
For over a hundred years we have
been flying the eagle at each Fourth OF
July celebration. 1 have been thrilled
with love of my country, but it is no
disloyalty in the midst of our glorifica-
ton to see what we have to fear.
There have been civilizations before
which in certain lines were grander than
ours and have fallen. Shall we continue
| to rise higher still till we knock at the
gates of Heaven and demand creden-
tials as an eternal power, and shall we
| too be denied? 1t is easy to say how
great we are, but it cuts like knife to
learn how weak we are, yet it is just as
patriotic; ours is the Gland of the free
and home of the brave" but whisky is
king in the United States today, to
whom we weakly and timidly submit.
Proof. That which the country relies
and depends upon is it's dictator. Our
government has committed crime
against national civilization in accepting
so much OF its revenue from the liquor
traffic.
Tell me one thing that California or
this country dares do without first con-
sulting tha LIQUOR traffic! We've forged
our chains, and the rum power has
gilded them over to please us. And now
we get down and pray to God to free us
from what we have allowed to be placed
upon us. Rum controls our caucuses,
our conventions, our legislatures, and
| gives tone and color to our laws.
At Sacramento, in one wing of the
capital sits the senate, in the other the
assembly, and down stairs in the base
ment is the white-aproned president of
both houses-legislative body elected
by the Republican party, to which
l belong. The perpetuity of our
nation depends not merely on
the theoretical form of govern
ment, but upon our physical and
mental capacity to render theory into
practice. The whisky traffic is running
this nations physique, destroying its
mind, and pleasing the devil that it is
placing the nations soul within his
grasp.
The indifference of the people to this
great danger is national insanity.
No truth can fail if mankind be
loyal to it, and I hope the time will
come when we, as American citizens,
will stand by the right for the salvation
of our native land.

school and the press. A mother is the
best instructor in patriotism. If the
church is preparing people for a good
world hereafter it must also be fitting
them for correct life here. Next after
the mother the school-teacher has the
most sacred position in regard to the
training OF the young. 1t is not eco
nomical to cut down the salaries of
teachers, so as to drive those possessing
brains out OF the profession. Applause
The press is one OF the grandest insti-
tutions we have for the preservation OF
liberty and justice. 1t was the common
talk in Europe years ago that the French
Republic would burst into atoms, yet it
still stands because the French people
are Newspaper readers. No nation made
no OF such readers has ever experienced
decay.
Hearty applause greeted the speaker
at the close of his oration, and he gave
place to Albert M. Hawthorne, who
sang the Star Spangled Banner.
Rev. ]. w. Phelps of Pasadena was
introduced, and read the Fourth of July
poem, by Mrs. Elizabeth Grinnell of
Pasadena.
America, sung by the audience. led
by Albert Hawthorne, and the doxology

GILLESPIE STABBED.
A Well-Known Yuma Hotel Keeper
Badly Wounded.

Badly Wounded.
S. S. Gillespie, manager of the South
ern Pacific eating house, at Yuma, was
stabbed in the back last Thursday night
and seriously hurt by Mexican named
Angelermo. His wife, who was visit
ing in this city, was Immediately sent
for, and is now at the bedside of the
injured man.
Gillespie had had trouble with An
gelermo on several previous occasions.
The Mexican insisted on selling sand
wiches and other eatables on the depot
platform, which Gillespie considered an
infringement on his rights. The latter
had driven the Mexican away several
times, and Angelermo threatened re-
venge.
Friday night, while Gillespie was
walking with a friend, the Mexican
approached them, and, without word
OF warning. made lunge at Gillespie
with huge knife. The latter put up
his hand to protect himself, and re-
ceived an ugly wound in the wrist.
Angelermo then struck again, the knife
this time entering the small of Giles
pies back.
1t is not believed that the wound will
be fatal. The Mexican has been ar
rested, and it will go hard with him if
the case proves to be murder.

a Mystery Cleared Up.

Two years ago James Robinson and his
son Jasper, of Harlan. Iowa, mysteriously
disappeared; they had sold their farm and
were living with J. X. Cumberland. The
latter sold out and went TO Missouri.
People began talking. and when it was
discovered that the father and son had
some 81, 200 on deposit in a local bank,
sheriff Rainbow began to investigate.
Cumberland and his wife were charged
with numbering the men and were brought
from Missouri TO answer for the crime
The wife and husband were separated in
the hope OF confession. The household
goods, clothing and property OF the Rob
insons were found in the possession of the
Cum berlands. Cumberland was then
called before the grand jury and searched
Upon his person was found written con-
fess on OF the or me. He hid the bodies in
the stable that day and at night stripped
them of all their clothing and buried them
on the bank Of the river about mile from
his house.

THE PORTE EXPLAINS.
SAYS RUSSIA is NOT GIVEN ANY
PRIVILEGES.
Hut that the Vessels Allowed tO Pass
Through the DardaneIles Sail
Under Commercial Flags.
The Porte Explains 10 the Powers.

The porte has sent circular 10 the
powers in regard 10 the passage through
the Dardauelles of several vessels OF the
Russian volunteer feet In this communi-
cation the porte says that Tor several years
past vessels OF the Russian volunteer feet
have been running between Odessa and
Vladivostock, the port intended to be the
eastern terminus of the trans-Siberian
railroad and situated on the Sea of Japan.
These ships. being under the commercial
flag of Russia, were granted free passage
OF the straits. II has been found, how
ever, the porte's note continues. that the
volunteer vessels were sometimes carrying
soldiers, and these ships were deta ned
owing TO n stake as TO their real char
acter. The portes Instructions, the note
adds, given to the officers on duty at the
Dardenelles &c prevent any further deten-
ton OF vessels of the Russian volunteer
feet have been wrongly construed by the
newspaper press TO be violation of exist
ing treaties. The note then quotes the in
structions given TO the Turkish officers on
duty at the Dardenclles, and concludes
with the remark that no new measures
have been adopted and that the old ones
continue in force.
