MORE THBOSOPHY.
Abbott Clark Discourses on the Law
of karma.

The meeting at the Theosophical head
quarters last evening was addressed by
Abbott Clark, +. T. S., of San Francisco,
whose subject was: ''Karma and Com
mon Sense" The unusual mum Der pres
ent seemed interested in the speakers
discourse, and many remained at the
close of the lecture to have further con-
ference with Mr.. Clark.
The speaker said the law of Karma is a
simple law of nature. which we have no
word in the English language to express,
and we cannot convey the idea without
the use Of two or three clumsy sentences,
such as: The law of cause and etfect,'
''Action and reaction are equal" LAS We
SOW SO shall ye reap" All these ideas
are conveniently summed up by the
Theosophist in the one word, "Karma."
The study of the law of Karma leads us
into the consideration OF ethics, which
means the science Of human conduct or
the laws of right and wrong. In this
country we have two systems of ethics
that preached and that practiced; the
former reserved for Sundays, and the
other for business life.
The reason of this discrepancy, he said,
is that the churches have forgotten the
true Christian doctrine of individual re-
sponsibility and substituted for it the
morally weakening and fallacious doc
trine of vicarious atonement-that is, of
shifting ones responsibility to the should
ers OF the innocent. The true conception
was thus expressed by a Hindoo philoso-
pher: "rhere is no cleft in the rocks, there
is no depth in the seas, there is no spot
upon the earth or in the heavens, where q
man can hide from the consequenc ces of
his acts"
God cannot be mocked and nature can
not be cheated. Causes must have their
effects. Repentance cannot save us from
the consequences of past evil deeds. They
must be paid to the uttermost farthing.
Hence, it behooves us to create only those
causes the consequences of which we
would delight to reap.
The speaker then described mans
place in nature as being the connecting
link between matter and spirit, between
the animal and the divine. He said there
were three streams OF evolution, the low
est of which has been partly outlined by
modern science. But more important
than physical evolution is the evolution
Of the soul, which, like the rest of nature,
proceeds from stage to stage by means Of
re-embodiment or reincarnation.
In each life we suffer out the evil of the
past and gain wisdom for the future The
cause of suffering and sorrow, evil and
selfishness, is ignorance and separate
ness. Pain is a corrective, and by eXpe-
rience we learn the laws of karna and
common sense. Only by learning the
laws of life, mind aud spirit. and con-
forming to those laws. can we attain
mans true destiny, to become a conscious
co-worker with nature in her mighty
purposes.
The "Voice of the Silence" says: Help
nature TO work on with her, and nature
will regard thee as one of her creators
and make obeisance."

HIT WITH A CANE.

Special Officer Thompson Struck Otto
Schemminger Over the Head.
After the conclusion of the performance
at the Clunie Opera-house last night
man named Otto Schemminger, who
works in the City Cemetery, was struck
over the head with cane by Special Of
ficer Thompson, who is on duty there.
There must have been some previous
misunderstanding between them, for by
standers declare that Schemminger ap-
preached Thompson in the saloon at
tached to the theater and said that he
wished to make an explanation so that
there would be no feeling between them.
Tbereupon Thompson, ii is said, struck
him with his cane, cutting his head con-
siderably, and drawing his pistol. would
have shot him had not someone caught
his arm. Schemminger went to a drug
store to have his wound attended to.
Thompson claimed that there were a
gang of five, Schemminger being one of
them, who were laying for him to do
him up." but those who know Schem-
ninger say he is very quiet, peaceable
man. who is not at all given to broils. 1t
is probable the Police Commissioners will
be called to investigate the matter.

FIRST GLASS BALL PLAYING.
Fine Game Between the Sacramentos
and San FrancisCOs.
The Home Team Defeat the Visitors
Attendance Light, But the Lads
Not Discouraged.

The opening game of the winter base
ball season took place at Snowflake Park
yesterday before very small audience,
owing to other and free attractions. The
weather was very cold, and the ground
soggy. Yet it waa good ball game in all
points. McNabb, one of Sacramento's
pitchers, VINO was billed TO occupy the
box, was on the sick list, and Cantillion
took his place. Borchers playing to right
field. The first three innings were
sharply played and quickly over, the
score ending in three goose eggs on both
sides.
In the fourth Reitz hit high fly to
center, which McGucken found an easy
matter to dispose OF. Hutchinson, next
up, hit to lett for a two-bagger. Sharp
died at first on a missed third strike.
McHale hit to left, and Hutchinson
crossed the plate. Cantillion made two
bagger to right, scoring McHale. Griffith
got mis- base on balls, but died there,
Borchers striking out.
For the San Franciscos P. Sweeney
took first on balls. Levy made safe hit
to center, Sweeny going to third. Levy
| tried TO steal second but was out on an
assist by AcHale, Sweeny in the mean
time scoring. knell was retired on fly
to d. Sweeny, and Powers retired at
first.
In the fifth inning both sides were
quickly retired, with no increase in the
score.
In the sixth inning Sharp was first at
bat for Sacramento, and sent hot one
through shortstop for a base. McHale
gained the initial on balls. Cantillion
hit TO Reilly, who took part in neat
double play, Sharp scoring. Griffith
took first on an error by McG ucken, but
Borchers retired the side-striking out.
In the second half the visitors were
quickly retired. McGucken and p.
Sweeney each made hit. Levy flew out
TO Gritfiths, and McGucken was thrown
out at the plate. Knell was sent to first
on balls. Johnson hit an easy one to
Sharp, forcing knell at second.
In the seventh the Sacramentos added
another run to their score, on hits by
Mannassau and d. Sweeney and passed
ball. The visitors went out in one, two,
three order.
After the home team had finished their
half III the eighth inning two more tallies
were added to the score, and it looked as
though they had the game in their own
hands, but before the second half Of the
eighth inning the San Franciscos had
eVened up matters on the heavy batting
of Levy, Cook and Reilly.
The home term cinched matters in the
ninth, however Reitz made hit.
! Hutchinson followed suit, but forced
/ ReitZ at second. Sharp, next up. lined
one to right, and on a hit by McHale,
! both scored. McHale reached the plate
on an error by Johnson.
/ The San FranciscOs were unable to score
| in the last half, being quickly retired.
! Next Saturday the Oaklands will ap-
! pear against the nome team, and, as they
are all National Leaguers, those who at
/ tend the game may expect a lively con-
test, as the Sacramentos as now consti-
| tuted have strong team.
Following is the score of yesterdays
| game;
