God Owns the Church."

A small New Yorker, while on a
visit to his aunt. who lives in New
Hampshire town, was taken to church
and Sunday school. As he entered the
church his aunt said:
Now, George. you must remember
to be very quiet while in church. You
know that IT is Gods house, and he
would not like it if you did not behave
we'll"
The young man needed this admoni-
ton and was quiet as a lamb.
Later he was taken into the Sunday
school room Then again he was eau
toned.
You must be very good while you are
in here, Georgie," said the aunt, 'be-
cause Elisha Brown, the superintendent,
does not like little people who make any
noise"
Again the caution was well received
and young George was u model of pro-
priety.
When he reached home his mother in
quired how he had liked the church and
if he had been good boy.
"He behaved beautifully" said the
aunt, and the mother was much pleased.
Young George said nothing just then,
but a little later he amused everybody
by remarking, THE church belongs to
God, but the Sunday school belongs to
Elisha Brown. Chicago News.

hard to pick the winner during the

hard to pick the winner during the
early seasons play.
The club that wins the championship
of the California league the coming sea
son will be very superior team, as 1t
seems to be the prevailing opinion that
all clubs are evenly matched. From
present Indications San Francisco and
San Joee have the fielding teams, and
Oakland and Los Angeles the batting
teams OF the league. AS to the pitching
department, all four clubs are well fixed F.,
and l should Judge, therefore, that the
poorer hitting teams would find rather
hard row to hoe ere the seasons end.
As to fielding, should say that in nine
instances out of ten the club that does
good batting will likewise do pretty fair
fielding, hence think it pretty safe to
predict Los Angeles and Oakland we'll to
the fore on the home stretch.
San Francisco has splendid aseort-
ment of men and cracking good ntield,
who handle themselves in a ship-shape
manner. Sharp, Reitz and Sweeny are
all men of ability and are 'at home"
with the game. Coughlin am not per-
sonally acquainted with, but if he was
not pable OF holding up his end, it is
pretty cafe to say that Manager Harris
would not have engaged him for short
stop. The remainder Of the team are
well selected men, and those attending
Saturdays and Sundays game may ex-
pect to see just as good games as are
played in the National league cities.

The Canadian Pacific settlement.

MONTREAL, March 24.-Vice President
Shaughnessey, of the Canadian Pacific,
makes the statement that everything
is quiet and running smoothly today. l
anticipate that the committee OF five en-
gineers, who are to settle the points on
which the trainmen and company diff
fered, will come to an arrangement
agreeable to both sides, though the COM
pany is not committed to their decision.
The basis of the proposed settlement is
that all the men who have been dis
charged, and who have gone on strike,
and the employee who has been dis
charged for refusing to take the place OF
any striker, or who has voted to strike,
be reinstated without prejudice. If it
can be shown to the committee of engi-
neers, who have mediated between the
company and trainmen, that any of the
strikers committed an assault upon any
officials of the road, he is to be dis
missed. I have no doubt that this will
be agreed to, and then the strike will be
at an end"

An Ugly Scene Behind the Doors of the
Grand Jury Room.
CHICAGO, March 24.-An ugly scene is
said to have taken place behind the
doors of the grand jury room today.
The foreman, General Lieb, is said to
have accused. States Attorney Lon.
genecker of fritterine away the time and
shielding from inquiry Doodle suspects
having strong political or commercial
influence. The states attorney hotly
retorted that it was worse than useless
to make an indictment where a convic-
tion could not be hoped for. Among
the witnesses examined today was ex-
Mayor Roche, who is financially
interested in the Compressed Air fran
chise. His evidence gave the jury no
light. Alderman John Powers was also
upon the rack, and he looked warm
when he came out. President Wegg,
of the Northern Pacific railway,
waited in the hall for his turn,
and when accosted by reporters, said he
knew nothing about Doodle. After he
emerged from the jury room he said he
told the jury not one cent was paid as
Doodle by his company to any alderman.

There is no doubt that man is a fine mechan-
ism, but like every other machine he wears out
by friction. 1t is said that he is born again
every two or three years. His body is virtually
re-made from food. To retard this making
over Is radically wrong, as a man loses 70 much
vitality in the delayed process that IL takes a
long time to recuperate. The process of max
ing anew is so accelerated by purging with

change in the mechanism Is such that the
wornOut part is replaced by the new without

A sNIDE SENSATION.

Ihe DraytOn- BOrrOwe Duel Fails to
Materialize.
New YORK. March 24.-The Drayton-
Borrowe scandal continues TO be the
all-absorbing topic among club men.
Drayton has not been seen publicly since
landing last evening. Borrowe came
ashore this morning, and this afternoon
his second, Milbank, made statement
to the effect that both he and Borrowe
were in entire ignorance as to the source
of the publications which have taken
place in the newspapers.
A passenger OF the Majestic states that
a London club man, while under the in
huence OF liquor, told sufficient to make
the story common property. 1t is stated
this afternoon that Drayton has been
closeted with lawyers all day, and that a
statement of his side OF the affair is be-
ing prepared.
When the steamer Majestic put in at
the dock this morning large number
of people had gathered to see
the only one of the principals
connected with the Drayton. Borrowe
affair, who remained aboard. Borrowe
leisurely took breakfast on the steamer,
and when approached by reporter de-
clined to say much about the affair
until he had seen his friends. The
charges against himself he pronounced
absolutely false. He stated that he
came to New York on business and hap
pened to take the same steamer with
Drayton, but he declined to say what
plans he had for the future.
In regard to the sudden departure OF
Drayton at quarantine, yesterday. it
was said among customs house men
this morning that trouble might arise,
as no one apparently knows when
or how he obtained authority to leave
the ship. None of the customs officials
on board the snip granted the necessary
permission, nor did any one on board
see or hear, 30 far as could be learned,
of such a permit being granted by the
collector.
As soon as Borrowers baggage was ex-
amined, he, with Milbank drove rapidly
away from the dock.
J. Coleman Drayton was in the Union
club this afternoon with his lawyer,
John Nash. He denied himself to re-
porters, but left word when he went
away that he had no statement to make
regarding his trouble with Borrowe.

A Delightful Place for a Woman.


What delightful day one could spend
rummaging in the great cabinets at
Windsor castle, where are stored away
all the gowns that Queen Victoria ever
wore. For the queens robes are never
sold or given away, despite the energetic
attempts which have been made from
time to time to induce the attendants to
part with some of these thousands of
gowns, which their wearer has probably
forgotten that she ever possessed. The
coronation robes, bridal gowns, resplend-
ent garments of stately fete and royal
ceremonial, worn in the old days before
the magnifcence Of queenliness was for
gotten in the sorrow of widowhood.
What will become of these relics when
the long reign is ended and the enor-
nous cabinets are made ready for the
new queens arrival?-London Letter

ing for all there was in them. Childs
pasted La Blanche at his sweet will.
He kept jabbing him with his left, and
La Blanche kept ducking and clinching
in order to avoid punishment.
LA BLANCHE's FOUL.
Eighth round-This was very event
full round. 1t opened up with terrific
slugging. Childs kept on landing and
La Blanche invariably clinched. Finally
La Blanche locked Childs's left arm and
deliberately threw him over his shoul-
ders to the hard floor. The colored
man landed on his back with great
force. Not content with this, La
Blanche kicked Childs in the face as he
lay on the floor. The colored man got
up and foored La Blanche, and would
doubtless have made chopping block
of him if several of his friends had not
gotten into the ring. The exciting
scene that followed battles description.
The indignation of many OF the specta-
tors knew no bounds, and La Blanche
was denounced on all sides. As soon as
the referee could be heard, he an
nouced that he awarded Childs
the fight on a foul. Barring the un-
satisfactory ending, the fight was un-
doubtedly the best battle between
heavy-weights ever seen on the coast.
LA BLANCHE BACK NUMBER.
The decision of the referee was emil
nently correct. The foul was committed
willfully and maliciously. 1t was the
dirtiest foul ever perpetrated in this city
and there was absolutely no excuse for
it. La Blanche claimed that Childs bit
him during clinch and showed blood
on his shoulder. 1t was apparently an
abrasion and was caused early in the
fight. The colored man fought with the
greatest fairness. He had the best OF
the fight throughout. La Blanche will
hereafter be relegated to join the hun.
dreds of back-number fighters. Childs,
as stated before in this paper, is not a
graceful fighter, but he can hit hard and
is clever in getting away from punish
ment. The ex-bootblack of Los Angeles
will hereafter be in the swim.
A representative of La Blanche called
at this Office last night and wanted to
issue challenge to fight Childs again
under the same conditions, except that
the principals select a referee at the
ringside. In all probability the Pastime
club has had enough of the Marine. La
Blanche's representative claimed that
the referee gave his man the worst of it.
This claim is absurd, as La Blanche
committed several technical fouls dur
ing the fight, while the colored man
fought fair and square, and La Blanche
robbed him of a victory by purposely
foulng.
