"a Man with n Mission"

Columbus. "A Man With Mission /"
was the subject OF the Rev. III. G.. Hay
yesterday at the New Jerusalem Church.
The text was taken from Psalm xi. rs.
In substance the Rev.-Mr hay spoke as
follows:
Individual men may call themselves
diyinely called TO work for the progress
OF men. The real greatness OF the discov-
erer OF the Western world is held up to
the sarcasm Of modern unbelief. That
Columbus was the instrument of "a divine
Providence is laughed at. This may ac.
count for our depreciation of Christopher
Columbus character. He believed thai
he had "a mission and he went forth with
u profound belief in God and in his
mission.
With all the faults and weak nesses of
humanity mt that period, Columbus
stands forth rs one of the few devout
men of the day. A genuinely devout
man feels that he has work 10 do for his
God. The Lord says, "By their fruits,
shall ye know them" Good men must
be industrious and lead useful lives.
God uses men to fulfll his purposes
Hence by years of study, Columbus
learned what vas known then of the
worlds boundaries. He studied that the
world was round, rather a new thought
then. The idea came To hi OF sailing
around the world. To achieve anything
important, we must come rrder the
guidance Of the Divine Wisdc IN. Column
but became the instrument that has
opened 10 us these higher blessings. His
eagerness in crossing the ocean did not
seem TO be for gold as to fulfill mis-
sion

GUATEMALAN POLITICS,
President Barillas's Account of Out
RACES Against His Rivals.

President Barillas's Account of Out
RACES Against His Rivals.
NEW YORK, Feb. 29.-The Herald's
San Salvador correspondent sends the
following:
1t is stated here with great positive
ness that General Reina Barrios, who
some time ago returned from San Fran
cisco, California, to run as candidate
for the presidency, is prisoner in the
hotel where he had been stopping with
his family. President Barillas, it is
alleged, caused rumors to be spread to
the effect that Barrios had returned,
and that powerful enemies were plan
ming to assassinate him. To protect
him from this danger, the president is
maintaining constant guard around
his hotel. General Barrios's wife, who
is an American woman, is half-crazed
through fear that heS husband will be
murdered.
Colonel Lima who, it is alleged, failed
to carry out Barillas's order to start a
pretended revolt, which was to be at
tributed to General Enriquez, and thus
afford pretext for killing the latter,
has, it is said, been whipped to death
in the penitentiary.
President Barillas, it is stated, is
frightened by the idea that he will be
poisoned.

UKIAH, Cal, Feb. 29.-Edgar A. Mar
tin was arrested by Sheriff Stanley this
morning, and will be formally charged
tomorrow with the murder OF Fred
Heldt, commonly known as dutch
Fred" at Fort Bragg, February 18th.
Heldt was worth about 800, 900. He
died in a saloon in Fort Bragg, while
drunk, and it was supposed his death
was caused by paralysis. An examine
ton of his stomach, since, shows that
he had been poisoned. Shortly before
he died he sent for his brother to make
a will, but expired before his brother
arrived. A short time afterward Edgar
A. Martin forwarded to prominent at
torney, here, will signed by Heldt in
which Martin was made sole executor
without bonds. The will was dated
December 18th, and was written by
Martin in a dive and witnessed
by the proprietor and his wife.
The signature is genuine, but as
! Heldt could not read, the supposition is
that he did not know what he was sign.
ing. The attorney became suspicious
and informed an officer, which led to
the arrest. Martin had been in the
county only four months and made
Heldt's acquaintance in the dive afore-
said. He pretended to want to buy
Heldt's property. The supposition is
that Martin got Heldt to sign the will
while drunk, then poisoned him, ex-
pecting to reap harvest by being ex-
ecutor. Mrs. Heldt will swear out a
warrant on her arrival from Fort Bragg
tomorrow. Martin suits the description
of the Greenwood murderer and the off
GERS think he is the same man. Sheriff
Mckenzie of Napa county telegraphed
that he will be here tomorrow to identify
him. Martin had received letters un-
der the name of Edgar Arthur. The
dive proprietor and his wife will likely
be arrested tomorrow on the charge OF
being implicated in the fraud and MUIR
der.
