The TEST OF CHARACTER.
An Interesting aud ms 'ructIve Discourse
to the Young.


to the Young.
A very interesting and spirited discussion
occupied the hour in Mrs. Cooper's Bible
class yesterday. a large number Of ladies
and gentlemen took part. The lesson was
based upon the first chapter Of the Book of
Daniel, and included the temptation at the
court of the king. In opening the discus
sion Mrs. Cooper said:
He can be trusted anywhere who has the
unfaltering purpose to be true. Strong
character is the safeguard against tempta-
ton; strong character has its foundation in
God. Even unrighteous men value the
elements OF true character in those who
serve them.
a strong, true character radiates streams
of influence that reach other lives. When
the young 60 away from the safeguards Of
home then comes the test of character. 1t
is a splendid thing for boys who come to a
great city from good homes 10 have an IN
ward purpose TO be true, and 10 hold fast 10
that purpose. The peculiar sins which
beset the young 5000 years ago Deset the
young to-day. Human naturelS substantially
the same. in all ages, as regards It's iempta-
tons IS peTiiS and lis rescues. IL IS a
vastly different thing 10 live in little rural
VILLAGE, with single street, where every
bois are argus-eyed to find out all misde-
meanors, from what il is to be in a great
world Of a city where forbidden paths may
be treaded without observation,
Ii is fact that Influences conspire In a
great city to undermine the character Of the
young 20 prevent the normal forces Of in
duStrious habits, and TO tempt the weak
and unwaTy into crooked and wicked ways.
1t is perilous thing TO leave home in the
piabe transition period, from youth to
early manhood II is just the time when
the potency Of good, strong hume influence
is most needed And the pity of il is that
the genial warm-bearted, generous natures
are in far more peril than the cold, sells b
and phlegmatic ones. And thus it comes to
pass that those whom the world most Eeels
are apt to 90 under, and those whom the
world would least miss survive. God helps
those who help themselves; lie forever re-
wards fidelity. Make the body the servant
of the soul A true soul is forever true,
whether TO God or TO man.

Brothers. By the public, by the world, he
was forsaken and forgotten.

MAY NEVER BE TRIED.
M. Woodward Sinking Fast From Dread
Consumption.

Consumption,
1t is probable that NJ. Woodward, the dis
tillers' agent. will not live long enough to
be tried on the charges of forgery against
him. Last month he was arrested al his
home In Oakland on complaint Of Asa
Fisk, and brought to this city. Fisk nc
cuses Woodward of having swindled him
out Of about $500 by forging Endorsements
to prOmiSsory notes.
Woodward is young man and has a
beautiful wife, who at one time was a So
ciety leader of the Athens of the Pacific.
Some are unkind enough TO ssy that it was
her acts OF extravaganza that caused his
financial ruin and disgrace. Be this as il
may, she has been very attentive 10 him
since he was locked up in the City Prison
and carefully attends to his wants.
Woodward's condition caused his removal
from a cell 10 the prison hospital on the 12tf
inst. Since then his health has failed rap
idly. and he now has consumption of the
worst type. His condition is considered
most serious by the police surgeons.

JACK MAYNARD STABBED.

His AssaIlant Badly Battered With
Billiard Cue.
Jack Maynard, one of the pToprietors of
a saloon and sporting resort at the north
west corner of Pacific and Montgomery
streets, was stabbed in the left side during
a fight ON the premises early yesterday
morning.
Two men were playing pool when a
roughly dressed man entered and interfered
with tile game. Maynard stepped out from
behind the bar. threw the fellow 10 one side
and cautioned him to mind his own bust
ness. Words were followed by blows and
then the intruder drew knife and stabbed
Maynard in the left side, just above the hip
The stabber Jared worse than Maynard
for it would seem that all the men in the
saloon took q hand in pummelIng him.
They battered and kicked him to their
hearts content and wound up by striking
him in the face several times with billiard
cue. The knife-wieder was then thrown
out upon the sidewalk. de made his way
along Pacific street TO kearDy, where he
fell unconscious.
Officers Wren, Gale and Mcmahon found
him ;here and had him conveyed to the Re
ceiving Hospital. An examination showed
that he had received numerous cuts and
cOntusi0ns of the head and face and a
fracture Of the nasal bones. After treat
ment he was removed to the City Prison
hospital. When he recovered his senses he
refused to tell his name or how he came 70
be injured. Later on he changed his mind
and said that his name was John Johnson
and that he lived at 1715 Jones street. Then
he told of the encounter in Maynard's
saloon and related the circumstances sub
Stantiallv as stated.
The officers found Maynard in bed at his
home on Broadway, between Montgomery
and Pacific streets. lie was as reticent a
his assalant. Each seemed to be afraid
that the other Jared worse. Maynard is
attended by Dr.. Samuels, who says the
wound is not of fatal nature.
When the men recover from their injuries
the chances are they will both be charged
with ali assault to commit murder.
