Few persons outside the churches are
aware of the magnitude to which the
Christian EndeavOr has grown. In 1881
the first society was organized in Maine.
Now every State and province on the
continent can point to one or more Chris
tian Endeavor Unions, composed of many
societies. Beside this, every civilized
country has received and adopted this
organization. The Christian Endeavor
pledge has been translated into almost
every tongue, even down to the Chinese.
4The Secretary of the United Society of
Christian Endeavor, in his quarterly re-
port of December /, 1892, announces
=, ,565 societies, with a membership OF
j, ,4l3, 800 persons. These are the youth OF
the land. This is in less than twelve
years, and with the increase still coming
at the rate OF 100 societies per week.
All denominations are represented and
recognized in this society, and branches
have lately been organized in the regular
army and navy. The younger element
have been taken care Of by the formation
OF the Junior Christian Endeavor Society.
Many cities have Junior Unions and hold
conventions. In this society no doctrinal
policy OF any denomination is sacrificed

4 Realistic Scene That Was Not Set

Every now and then there are in
theaters dramatic incidents on the wrong

an amusing character, occurred in the

feeling her way carefully. On her re-
turn, somewhat later, the villain, who
somehow is always around bothering
heroines, opens the lock and thus re-
moves the wooden footway. The house
was in almost perfect silence as the blind
woman crept up the embankment and
felt her way along its path towards the
fatal gap. AS an alleged wit has said, a
paper of pins could have been heard to
fall. The situation was very thrilling,
and the anticipated climax held the
audience in painful suspense.

gentleman in the middle of the house,
who had followed the plot Of the piece

Frank w. Covey, superintendent in
charge of the trotting department of Sen
ator Stanford's Palo Alto stock farm. was
in Vina last week arranging for the ship
ment to New York of three carloads of
bIooded horses and colts from the stables

on the local train.
| Mr.. Covey will meet the Vina horses
| here with three carloads from Palo Alto.
From here they will be taken East by

Danger of Cholera Next Summer.

Danger of Cholera Next Summer
l would especially invite the attention
of our national Legislators to the follow
ing facts and suggestions: While cholera
appears to have nearly died out in North
western Europe, it seems to be still ling
ering in epidemic form in the southeast
ern portion of that continent. This indi-
Gates necessity for the continuance at
the present time of the embargo on immi-
grafton, at least so long as we have any
news of the existence of cholera in SOUTH
eastern Europe.
1t is well-known fact that in the past.
whenever cholera has obtained a foothoId
in Europe, it has never disappeared from
that continent in less than from three to
ten years. While the cold of winter has
usually been sufficient apparently to eX-
terminate the disease in most parts of
Europe, 1t yet has always remained DOR
mant in other portions of the continent
which have less severe climates, to reaD-
pear with renewed virulence at the an
proach OF the next warm season. We
have no reason to believe that this vista
ton of Europe will prove an execution in
this respect to the rule which heretofore
has had no exception. The mode of
assault OF nation by cholera NAV be
compared somewhat to the attack Of tho
rattlesnake, which usually sounds a note
OF warning before striking his fatal blow.
The history of cholera epidemics shows
that threatened peoples as a rule, receive
ample warning of danger. We have re-
ceived our warning. Let it be followed
by the enactment of such national legis-
lation this winter as will render our de-
fences dOubly secure against the danger
OF an invasion next summer.-Dr E o.
Shakespeare, in Forum.

THE MISSING HANCHETTE.

City To-day.
II. Jay Hanchette, the missing Secre-
tary of the Chamber of Commerce of Los
Angeles, who so suddenly disappeared
from Chicago two years-which disap-
pearance created a great sensation at the
time-is expected to arrive in Sacramento
this morning.
Hanchette. it viii be remembered, was
sent by the Los Angeles Chamber of
Commerce to attend an orange carnival
in Chicago. AT an unexpected moment
he mysterlously disappeared, and it was
supposed he had been murdered or other
wise foully dealt with. No tidings were
ever received from him by his family in
Los Angeles, which bore out the belief
that he was dead.
About a year ago it was reported that
he had been seen in Northern California,
travelling under an assumed name and
disguised in such a way that recognition
was almost impossible.
1t Is said by the person from whom
this information is gleaued that Ham
chette VIII remain in Sacramento two
days, III consultation with intimate
friends on private business.
Some time in the near future he will
return to Los Angeles, when all matters
pertaining to his disappearance will be
explained satisfactorily 10 all his friends
and acquaintances.
Hanchette has a wife and two children
residing i'll Los Angeles.

JEFFERIS' CASE.
The Grand Jury Still Investigating It
No New Developments.

The Grand Jury Still Investigating It
No New Developments.
The Grand Jury is still engaged in ex-
amining persons who profess to have any
knowledge Of the relations that existed
between George B. Jefferis and Miss E.
o. Ayres, the victim of the Brighton
tragedy.
That which transpires in the Grand Jury
room is supposed to be kept secret, but
certain correspondents of San Francisco
papers have given what purported to be
testimony taken by the Grand Jury. By
waylaying the witnesses they have man
aged to secure little information Of this
kind, to which has been added a great
deal that was never said.
There has been nothing developed thus
far different from what was published
several days ago. 1t is understood that
the prosecution has not yet procured evil
dence to show conclusively that Jefferis
visited Brighton on the night Of the trag-
edy, wherefore it will be difficult to make
the showing, at the examination set for
to-day, necessary to hold him for trial.
In the meantime the Grand Jury may
feel justified in finding an Indictment
against him.
The suicide theory is, however, daily
finding new converts.
