A VETERAN PENSI0NER.
The California Pioneers Disc usa the Ca
OF Patrick Lynch.

The California Pioneers discuss the Ca .
OF Patrick Lynch.
At the meeting of the Society of Califor-
MIA Pioneers last evening the sole business
considered was the matter of Patrick
Lynch.
1t will be remembered that In the course
of investigations regarding pensioners on
the list OF the society, 1t was aseertained
that Patrick Lynch, who since 1876 had en-
joyed the privileges of the society. had never
been balloted for and never been regularly
admitted as member.
Considerable feeling was excited by the
discovery, the majority OF members being
in sympathy with the old man, who had
long believed himself a member. having
paid. in 1868, $40 for Initiation, So for a GER
tificate of lie membership, aud S65 month
after, making a total OF $751;
Captain Swasey made an eloquent appeal
for Lynch, stating that any informally in
his membership was due to the laxity OF
methods In vogue In early days.
William L. Duncan and Alexander Mont
gomeTy followed in the Same vein, referring
TO Lynch's services as Mexican veteran.
George i. Marye Jr., as one OF the direc-
tors, explained the action OF the investi-
eating committee as necessitated by the by
laws. The ISL paid by Lynch had been
refunded to him.
Thomas Eager and 4. Cheever spoke in
favor OF the old gentleman, and finally the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That the action OF the board OF d.
rectors lately tas EN- deciding ana adiudging that
Patrick Lj neh j. not member of this society
be and the same Is hereby referred TO commit

ciety at Its next regular meeting all the facts
and history OF the relationship of said Parties
Lynch to the Society Of California Pioneers, and
that the action OF said board In deciding said
Lynch not member be and is hereby ordered
suspended Till the final hearing and decision OF
the matter by the members OF this society.
Though Lynch has drawn S1361 from the
relief fund the majority of the members are
IN his favor, aud according to Secretary
Spear and Chairman Gibbs many would be

ALMOST A NATIVE.
Baron Won Hollub Arrives on Visi,
From New York.

Baron Won Hollub Arrives on "a Visit
From New York.
The name OF Baron Rudolpho Won
Hollub Of New York on the Palace Hotel
register last evening attracted attention.
The Baron Is native of Libach, Austria,
but speaks English-or rather one should
say American-like native.
He is about twenty-five years of age and a
scion OF an old Austrian family which has
blended in the past with some of the most
ancient French families. His mother was
English and member Of the Church of
England, which partly accounts for the
purity OF his accent.
The Baron is out here on pleasure trip,
travelling with Z. b. Russell, who sympa-
thizes with his views. He has been his
companion in the East, staying consider
able time with him In Washington, ID. c.,
where the Baron studied in a theological
college.
Their plans for the future are at present
indefinite. but visit to Japan is among the
possibilities. The Baron was sorry 10
learn that Count and Countess Festetics
had left town.
The young Austrian stated that while he
had no definitely chalked-out plan Of life he
had strong tendency toward the priest
hood, and might finally dedicate himself to
the service OF the church.

j. HeBnfker Heaton, NJ. p, Visits San
Francisco.
Among the interesting visitors at present
in town is j. Henniker Heaton. member OF
Parliament, of England.
The main object Of his visit is to obtain a
rate OF 2-cent postage between the United
States and England, the rate being cents
at present.
This phianthropical design is backed by
various cogent arguments.
In an address published In the ED eoun-
try Mr.. Heat0n arrays facts and arguments
in favor Of ocean two-cent postage, of which
may be mentioned that be estimates that
no extra train or steamship would be re-
quired, that newspapers of the same weight
are charged forty-eight times as much,
that the present rate is hardship on i'm
migrants, and that the State should not
seek to make profit out OF the Postofficr
A number of other arguments are added
but the main reasons running throughout
seems to be the anomalous condition of
rates at present and the perfect feasibility

The Wooden Ashbox Does lis Work on
Fulton Street.
There was wooden ashbox in the rear
OF tho block of buildings numbered go to
22S Fulton street yesterday afternoon. 1t Is
possible that this box had nothing to do
with the costly conflagration that broke out
in the block at 4 81 o'clock, but Captain
White of the Fire Patrol thinks it is proba-
BILE that it was the origin of the fire.
The alarm was rung in from box SO. The
buildings were two stories high and were
owned by Timothy DonahOe. They were
divided into flats, which were occupied by
Mrs. Rose Riley, Alex Cohn, A. Rice, Mrs.
Ellen Hubert, Leopold Adler. Mrs. c. >.
Harris and Mrs. Annie Emmanuel. The
fire, for which the wooden aShbox is made
responsible, consumed the rear Of the flats,
and before it was checked damaged the

contents to the amount OF $1,000. The owner

THBOOOPHIC CONVENTION.
Karma Against the Vicar
ious AtOnement.
Lecture by Or. Allen Grifiths-Karma Defins d
as the Law of Cause and Efect-Its
Relation to Man.

At the Theosophc convention in Red
Mems Hall last night DR.. Allen Griffiths
delivered lecture on 'Karma and Vica-
rious Atonement."
Karma he defined as the law Of cause and
effect, the conservation of energy upon the
moral and spiritual planes Of nature.
He would consider Karma in relation to
man, though 1t operated upon all eosmic
planes. In one respect 1t was looked upon
as mode of the manifestation OF the un-
movable.
Karma is the original cause of incarna-
ton.
The popular falaces of a personal God
and vicarious atonement pandering to big
otry, egotism and superstition caused more
misery, bloodshed and crime than any other
cause.
The preposterous plan Of vIcarious atone
ment was manmade and was unjust both
to God himself and to his dependents. BY
relieving them from individual responsible
ity it made race Of weaklings.
These relics OF superstition were the cor
ner stones of religion; while. in fact, they
were huge. haunting fallacies and the direct
causes Of cruelty, tyranny, cowardice and
crime.
Karma is the supreme arbiter of mans
actions.
Reason and justice force the conclusion
that man is the result of himself. Bis
present condition on this planet is but one
of the countless experiences he has had and
will yet have till he arrives at his godhead
Man is net an exception to universal law,
but stands or falls through himself alone.
There is but one spot in the universe for
man. and that is where he is now.
All the power, health, wealth and happi-
ness that a man enjoys are his because he
has earned them in his past lives. and vice
versa
Karma is memorable and absolutely just,
and if man fails to conform To the law in
one life he will be called to account for it
in another life.
Nan is his own creator and makes his
own environment. Parents are only the
medium through which the ego finds adj

his magnetism and dramatic instincts, how
ever, served him in good stead. and alto
gether the audience went home well salts
fed. The feature of the evening was the
excellent work Of Mr. n. j. Stewart and his
orchestra; enthusiasm reached its height at
the splendid orchestral performance of
Memberships wedding march, which had to
be repeated. The other orchestral numbers
and incidental numbers by the great CON-
poser were also greatly appreciated and
much enjoyed
