York at the age of twenty-one he was
thoroughly well fitted to succeed.
And this is what | wish to impress
upon the mind of any youth who would
gain money by literary work in the
metropolis: Be a business man. Don't
waste your time with Kerl's common
school grammar; you can hire type
writer girl who will make your verbs
agree with their subjects, if necessary.
The printer will afterward make them
disagree again, anyhow: that is, unless
You throw your work away upon the
first-class publications. Don't wrestle
with the sequence of lenses. The proof
reader knows all about that, or, If he
doesn't, he viii fix it to suit himself in
spite of you. Look for the markets,
my boy, for that's business, and let the
queens English take its chances be-
tween the case and the proofroom-
/ think that'i,is a great mistake to
tell young man that he should enter
the career of letters with no thought Of
money. He viii never succeed in that
way. | know two men who wrote
stories that were elected by the Century
magazine. One of them spent a month
revising his production and then sent it
10 the Harpers, after which he put it
into little box, shed Z few tears upon
1t and abandoned his ambition. The
other simply dedicated his story TO the
memory Of Jake kIlrain and sold it TO
the Police Gazette. He is now writing
stuff that should go down TO posterity,
in the interests of the manufacturer Of
the 8 pocket gymnasium
1t Is this power to make everything
available which marks the dawn OF
new and happy era IN American !itera-
ture- The industry of this rushing age
has taken hold upon the writer also,
and he is not the loafer he used to he.

zARrHQUAKE SHOCKS.

A slight Temblor Eelt Along the Base
Of the Sierra 1radres.
A slight temblor was plainly percept-
ible in this city yesterday morning at
3:15 O'Clock. The few people on the
streets at that hour felt it distinctly,
and in q few instances people were
awakened from their slumbers by the
swinging Of the buildings or rattling OF
windows. Associated Press reports
from Ontario, San Bernardino and Santa
Ana sshow that it was felt there also.
Following are the dispatches:
ONrARlo, CAL, May 2S.-Two light
earthquake shocks were felt here this
morning; the first at :16 and the Sec
ond five minutes later. It was heavy
enough to stop clocks. The course OF
the wave was northeast TO southwest.
SAN BRRNARDINo, May 28.-Two shocks
Of earthquake were felt here this morn
ing ati8 :16 and 1920. The first shock
was very heavy, throwing down dishes
and stopping clocks. The second shock
was much lighter. The vibrations were
from east to west. ,d
SANTA ANA, May 28.-Earthquake
shocks were felt here between and 8
o'clock this morning. The first was
quite heavy, and lasted minute or
more.

National cemetery. Evidences were
plain that James Deviney, member of
= troop, Fourth cavalry, who died there
iohr years ago, was buried alive. When
the coffin was uncovered the head OF
the body was turned over to the
left. and the right arm was lying
straight down by the side. The left
arm was thrown over the left thigh, and
the lower limbs were crossing each
other. From the appearance and posi-
ton OF the lower jaw and portions of
the face, which were yet intact, it is
evident that the body came to life again
after burial, and that he subsequently
died in great agony. Deviney's sup
posed death was caused by kick by a
mule in the head. fev

SAN FRANCISCO, May 28.-The police
were informed today that Frank Weston,
a student, was shot in the hip and badly
wounded, late yesterday afternoon, by a
crank giving the name of Philip Jordan.
Jordan called at the residence of the
well known actress and opera singer,
Belle Thorne, and threatened violence
to her If he was not reinstated at the
Tivoli theater, from which he declared
she had him discharged three years ago.
Weston, overhearing the violent talk OF
the man, interfered and was shot, Jor-

his escape.

PORTLAND, May 28.-The Briggs case,
80 far as the Presbyterian general as
sembly is concerned, is ended. BY a
vote, which, under the law of the
church, is to be reckoned as 429 to 81,
the appeal against the action of the
presbytery Of New York, in dismiasing
the case, has been sustained in whole
or in part. Final action is deferred till
Monday. The action then will be only
formal, as the constitution prescribes
what it shall be. The papers in the
case will be sent back to the New York
presbytery and it will be ordered to
proceed with the trial, which it voted
to discontinue. sn's eif .
As aoon as the vote was announced,
Judge Taylor offered the following reso-
luton:
Whereas, The appeal in this case has
been sustained by this assembly;
Resolved, That the verdict of the
presbytery of New York be reversed in
all particulars; and, 9S5 oef
Resolved, That all the papers in the
case be returned to the stated clerk OF
the New York presby terry, and that the
presbytery be ordered to proceed to the
trial of the case on it's merits.
N The resolution was referred to COM
mittee of five, with instructions to report
10 the assembly Monday morning.
Adjourned till Monday.
With regard to the Union seminary,
the former resolutions were brought
back almost without change. The
seminary is declared to have failed to
comply with the obligations. The
chair Of biblical theology, occupied by
DR.. Briggs. is de jure vacant. A Sec
ond resolution introduced, declares that
the seminary is living in defiance Of the
veto Of the transfer of DIR. Briggs, and
insists upon the maintenance of the
compact, as the same has been inter
;preted by the general assembly, in or
der to secure the maintenance Of the
present uniformity and the entire con-
fdence of the church,. e
1t was recommended that the differ
ence OF opinion upon the interpretation
OF the compact be given to committee
of fifteen for arbitration.
A minority report was entered, which

looking to the peaceful withdrawal Of

He found three fellows had gone out on

Indian constables., The party landed
clandestinely from small sloop and
were getting q supply Of fire-water
ashore, when, they were pounced upon
and made prisoners, being bound hand
and foot. Mr.. jackson and his two men
were armed, and having, ss they

captured, managed to sever the ropes
which bound him, and setting his two
companions ct liberty, they stole up to

two constables appear to have
been aroused by the approach
Of the murderers, and reached for their
guns and fred, but the shots were
lodged and desperate hand to hand
encounter ensued, during which the
constables were deprived Of their rifles;
one Of them fed from the revolver
shots, being pursued by q fellow who
held it piece and made good his
escape. The other was beaten to death
and the smugglers took to their craft,
