RELIGIOUS READING,
SUBMISSION.

If Heaven be near,
And they can see what we are doing here,
Can know the whole, where we but know a
part.
Can even smile above breaking heart,
Because they see the path OF sorrow ends
In ioy see why loving Father sends
Such tribulations; if they can remain
Unnoved ut all the mystery OF pain,-
If it be thus, why should we wish to tear
The veil away until We enter there?
II Heaven be far,
If they know not the anguish OF our hearts.
Nor see the tear that for their absence starts,
II Heavens reunion be to them so sweet
That sorrow is forgotten-if they meet
Tho loved and lost, and without murmurinS
wait
Until we. too, shall enter through the gate,-
If it be thus, why should we wish to know
The place to-day? Tomorrow we shall 60
Or near or far,
1t matters not, if we are sure they are
Beyond the burden and the bondage here,
Beyond the care, beyond the dropping tear,
If we are sure, that daily, we are led
Toward them; that sometime, gladly we shall
tread
The unknown stairway
Let US rather make
Fit preparation, and for their dear sake
Whom we have lost. be Heaven near or far,
Strive not to- pull the pearly gates sjar.

A song REBUKE,

It Is difficult matter for son to rebuke
his father, and yet this was done in q per-
fectly proper manner by Lewiston (Me,)
boy. The father had been to neighbor's
and returned somewhat suspiciously e1-
hilarated. he ordered the boy to harness
the horse for him as he wished to drive to
"town." but the team did not appear, and
,>hen be went to the stable the horse stood
before him embarrassed in the stall. When
the boy returned in the evening the father
demanded the reason for his strange actions.
The young man. who had spent the day
alone in the woods, promptly confessed that
he was ashamed to have his father go to the
town while he was under the influence OF
liquor. The man, who was not drunkard,
had no ideathat he had shown any symptoms
of intoxcation and he was too much sur
prised to speak word In self-defence. The
well-neritsd rebuke, however, will probably
be long rememP >sed.

PistoIesi and Frey Charged With
Grand Larceny.

Louis Pistolesi and Fred Frey, two Police
Court attorneys who have ach eyed much
unenviable distinction by their connection
with Police Court frauds, are in trouble once
more. This time they are charged with
grand larceny.
The complainant is one Andrew Kandelec.

the County Jail, where he was sent by
Judge Wallace on a charge OF larceny.
Yesterday he was unearthed from his dur
ance and brought down to Police Court ,,

S2j down and the rest on conclusion of the
trial
Kandelec agreed, and having $3.50 in the
savings bank he was asked To give check
for the first SD He did so in this way
Pistoles brought two blank checks into the
JAIL. and making one out for S15 laid that
and another check, which he said was of
the value of $40, on the table.
Kandelec, thinking all was square, signed
both checks. and they were presented aud
cashed. not, however, before Pistoesi had
induced Kandelec to give up his handbook
TO him. Afterward. finding he had been
duped, Kandelec tried all he knew to get
the money restored 10 him, but without
success.
Attorney Scott, who was first retained in
Kandelec's behalf, saws that Pistoles and
Frey acknowledged to him that they had
the money, and wanted 10 associate them
selves in the case. Pistolesi, on the other
hand. declares that he told Kandelec all the
time that his fee would be $3.50, and that
the latter had agreed to pay it,

The 0akIands and Rangers TO Play at
Central Park.

Football at Central Park tomorrow after
noon will bring a large contingent from
across the bay to witness the contest be-
tween the Oakland eleven and the Rangers
Of this city.
The Rangers record during the season is
not such brilliant one as that of the Oak
land aggregation. but their form has i'm
proved so considerably In their late con-
tests that it is expected the Athenian team
will have their hands full to down the local
clnb. The Rangers have been putting in
considerable practice in anticipation of the
contest, with the gvowed purpose of ad-
miDistering a severe drubbing TO the Oak
landsrs, and with the strong element of
rivalry thrown into the game, the fight for
supremacy will be a stirring and exciting
one.
The following players have been selected
for The teams, who Will line up at 2;15:
Oakland Athletlcs-Goal. Low; backs,
Turner and Proctor: half-backs. HunteJ,
LaiBg and Anderson, forwards. Orchison,

an ordinary breeze. A single windmill. he
estimates, is equal to One-hOrse power in
wind blowing eighteen miles an hour. His
second mill. having twice the velocity Of
the first, Will have twice its power Thus
one pair will have three-hOrse power. The
effect of three sets Of wheels wOnld be to
turn the main shafts with a force equal to
three times three. or nine-hOrse power.
The idea of the wheels belongs to J. ?.
Fouiks of Verdi, New. He is an old-timer
who came to California in 1852 and drifted
TO the ComstOck Eventually he became
interested in numbering and now owns
large sawmitl between Weber Lake and
Verdi. Mr.. FOulks Is n member OF the AS
sembly of Nevada, and just before the Leg
islatuTe convened this year he received
word that the patent on his wheel had been
granted. While at the Legislature he told
some OF his fellOw-sOlGns OF his machine
and a corporation was formed TO manuiac-
ture and market it, with four OF Nevada's
Assembiymen as directors.
Nevada IS so locked in by mountains that
breezcs blow but fitfully. In looking for a
place TO put their machine in practical
working Foulks thought of Point I4obUs.
Last year there were only three days in
which the wind did not blow there.
Once it blew at the rate Of seVenty-one
miles an hour, while the daily average speed
was eighteen miles an hour. Another adj
vantage was that tho Federal Government
kept a wind gauge at this point and thus
the windmill eXperimrnters could obtain
reliable statistics as to the force of the
wind att times when the operation of their
new machine was being observed.

WAS HE DR.. lyman?
Suicide of a Californian in
Belgium.
He Answered the Description of the
Millionaire Physician Who Left
Modesto Six Months Ago.

Did DIR. J. D. lyman. the millionaire
physician who mysteriously disappeared
from Modesto several months ago, commit
suicide in the little city Of Boom. Belgium,
last week? The police think that he did.
Chief OF Police Crowley received a dis
patch from the COmmissare of Police at
Boom a few days ago to the effect that q
man who answered the description sent all
over Europe of the lost DIR. lyman of No
desto fitted man who had committed
suicide in Boom.
The Chief cabled the commissaire to the
effect that DR.. Tynan's arm had been
broken and that piece of bone had been
removed from the member. He asked
whether the arm of the dead man had cen
similarly mutilated
The c0mDissaire's answer was received
yesterday He said that the body had been
forty-eight hours in the earth and that he
would at once send full description of the
remains.
This Information was conveyed to Mrs.
lyman, who is living at the Lick House,
last night. She had a long talk with Cap
tain Lees of the detective force.
lyman lived happily with his family in
Modesto until about six months ago He
was an old man, and the woman who is
trying to solve the mystery of his disap-
pearance is on the shady side OF so. She
has several children.
lyman came 10 this city after leaving his
home in Modesto and lived in the Baldwin
House. on Ellis street On the day of his
disappearance he drew $1,000 from a local
bank. The police traced him 10 a hotel in
Sacramento and thence to New York City,
whence he sailed Tor Belgium.
Nothing more was heard of him until the
Chief of Police was informed of the death
in Boom Of a man who looked like the lost
physician of Modesto.
The aged wife, or widow, of the missing
man telegrapbed his description all over the
United States and Europe. She is dis
tracted with grief and Is earnestly striving
to obtain some tidinEs of the missing man.
