am going way feeling that the days ought
to have been ninety hours long TO do what
ought to have done in your city.
LOVE THE BIBLE.
SIN my last words desire to commend to
you love for this cid Bible, for the Sab
bath day. for the Church of God and tor the
high and holy things that tend to increase
the welfare Of the community.
We have seen many wonderful things in
your fair State. Your territory, so rich in
resources, is destined to play a conspicuous
part IN the history Of the nation" Allud
ing to adverse comment on California, he
said somewhat humorously that persons
who made these comments must have spent
a foggy night or a couple of rainy days
here. L go home,' he continued, with
an impression-with my heart kindled with
JOY ana all aglow with belief that there is
no victory too large for you to win if You
stand together, working for the good of the
Government, for temperance for true re-
ligiOn and for upright business doings. You
must feel the responsibility yourselves.
SEATED here together, you will suffer me
to call your attention TO the treatment of
young men who will come to your shores.
What these young men will become remains
to be decided By your care of them. You
can put gold piece IN your pocket with a
piece OF lead, and the gold cannot be there
long before il becomes dim. So it is with
young men in this and every city.
THE Y. NJ. c. A COMMENDED.
81 commend to your care and keeping,
business men. the Young Mems Christian
Association. Young men want sympathy f;
they want some common ground. where
they can touch elbows with fellows just
like themselves; and | do not know any
better place for it than the Christian AssO-
citation. With all the beauties of your eli
mate and all the vigor of your life, you
cannot live without high moral institutions
to serve as guides for those who come to
seek fortunes and homes"
Ehe speaker advanced many interesting
arguments to show that in assisting young
men it was a great help in building up a
community. He also advocated a sunny re-
ligiOn, and not one made up Of gloomy looks
and long faces.
In concluding, he made this touching
farewell: Il leave part of my heart with
you, and prayer that God will bless you
and make your days of joy four times
greater than you wish"
Following the address, the services closed
with the anthem, Give Unto the Lord"
prayer by DR.. Hammond, gloria and bene-
dictiOn, and an organ pOsilude.

CABLE-CARS COLLIDE.
Dire Disaster on the Howard
Street Division.

About 500 o'clock last night there hap
pened what might have been, and nearly
was, a fatal accident to a whole carload of
passengers Oh one of the HoWard-street
cable-cars.
At Second street yellow car stopped TO
let off some passengers. In the attempt to
drop the grip on to the cable the grip"
which is known as ''cester grip" that is
the rope sliding through the center of the
grip" did not fall straight, but lodged on
one side of the rope. The rope became fas-
tened between the grip and the die, and the
car was ierked forward at fearful speed.
Try as he might and did, the gripman could
not loose his car from the grasp, which,
like death, was hurrying him on to certain
catastrophe for he was gaining rapidly on
to the next car in advance.
The car ahead was blue car 8, laden
like the one behind, to standing, without
even the proverbial "room for one more In
'front.'" When the two cars came together
ii was with crash that made the hundred
women aboard scream in terror and three or
four tainted. No one was hurt, however,
and the only damage was to the front car,
which had its rear trucks thrown from the
track. The blow did not release the rope
from the grip, and bumpety- bump went the
front car over the baSalt blocks, while both
grpmen were trying to control their cars
and the passengers to right themselves.
When they arrived in front of Morosco's
the grip loosened and the cars stopped as
suddenly as they had struck, and again
screams were renewed.
After unloading and comparing notes It
was found that no serious damage had re-
suited, except to the cars, though one LADY
had to be taken from the scene before she
could get relief from her hysteria. The
cars served as a blockade for eighteen
minutes. stopping traffic completely for
that time.

The NISSAN of snrrn,r

A large number Of ladies and gentlemen
were in attendance at the Bible Glass of
Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper in tie First Congre-
gational Church yesterday. The discussion
was Que OF evident interest to all present.
1t involved the general subject of sorrow.
In opening the lesson Mrs. Cooper said :
Trouble should be Gods schoolmaster, to
unfold and discipline us. Suffering is some
times an infrniity, sometimes misfortune,
sometimes sin. Sorrow is, in Itself, neither
good nor bad. It's value forever depends
upon the spirit on which it falls. Chastise-
ments may harden and end in judgment.
The first and most obvious use of sorrow
is TO remind of God. Noble manhood aud
womanho0d Is the most precious fruit of
trouble. 1t is very important thing to ask,
What is the errand on which our SoTroWs
Gomez" Sorrow and suffering are not ac-
cidental. The whole aftertone and color Of
our lives may be determined by some great
overmastering sorrow. The question turns
upon whether our sorrows result in the
triumph of the good over the evil that is in
us. There has to be deep subseiling of
sorrow many times to break up the bard soil
and make 1t mellow and productive. There
is but one tree in this world that bears the
fruit Of noble manhood and w0manhood-
that is the tree OF discipline which forever
yields the peaceable fruits of righteousness
to them that are exercised thereby T"

the defsulting Secretary of the Coast
ished on the manner in which the latter OBJ
tanned the means to employ such an advo-
cate. He had not time to secure financial
aid from his noble relatives in Austria, if
they had been willing to give it, aud his ac-
quaintauces in this city were few outside the
trade unions, who lost their love for him about
the time the coast seamen discovered tina
he had not kept his hands from picking and
stealing. Ark's ex-iriends now think that
Mollie Woodward. the hour who beguiled
him, came to his rescue, and in support of
their theory the following story is told:
Some time after Ark was incarcerated he
sent brief note to Molie, intimating that
she might say anything to the bearer which
she would say to him. MolIie was dressed
in becoming sailor costume, with littl6
golden anchors on her shoulders. When
AXIS messenger arrived she at first affected
to know nothing about the wrecked Ark,
but finally she admitted that he had fire.

Registration of Chinese VIII Not Begin
Until July.
Labor Commissioner Waits has received
from the Public Printer proof of the GER
tiheate Of residence which all Chinese living
in this State will be required to have one
year hence. The registration of the Mon
golians will not be commenced until the 1st
Of July, and it IS probable that the names
of the deputies who are to do the work for
the Commissioner will not be announced
until. late in June. The applications for
deputyships are falling off, as it has become
known that no appropriation has been
made for the work, and their salaries cannot
be paid until the money has been received
from the Chinese registered. If the Chi
neSe should refuse to register and wait
until test Of the constitutionality of the
law is made the deputies would be obliged
to wait one year for the payment of their
salaries, as the Chinese are given one year
in which to obtain their certificates, and an
arrest for the purpose of testing the act eau
not be made until the expiration of that
time.
The Commissioner is confident, however,
that the Chinese will register. lie states
that he has received Information that they
have been advised to do so by their attor-
news.
