EARLY CHRISTIAN RECORDS.
Interesting Documents Found In q Tomb
In Upper Egypt.

In Upper Egypt.
Great interest has been created in
literary and ecclesiastical circles in
Europe by the recovery from tomb in
upper Egypt of some old codices which
Prof llarnack was the first TO recognize
as fragments of some of the earliest
lhristien records, supposed to have been
lrretricvably lost. They are three in
number. One of them bears the title:

Prophetic book, resembling the Apoc-

A MOUSE IN HER HAT.


as the Clerk.
A recent San Francisco dispatch
says: One day tins week a lady went to
Fourth street store to make some
purchases. She engaged a young clerk
in conversation concerning various
articles. While talking TO her the
clerk CHANGED to look at her hat. 1t
moved slightly. Then he looked again,
aud again the feminine hcadgear was
perceived 10 be in motion. The young
man turned pale and his tongue did
cleave to the roof of his mouth. Like
one suffering with nightmare, he
wanted TO scream, but could not All
the time the lady's hat kept moving in
a peculiar way. The young man kept
his gaze on the hat-for some reason
unknown TO himself he could not do
otherwise. Presently he saw one side
of the hat raise up; then a pair of
sharp, bright eyes peered ont. The
next instant out from under the hat
jumped a mouse. 1t landed upon the
pale young clerks shoulder and he ran
into the street yelling like a Comanche.
ugh! what was that screamed the
lady.
at was a mouse, and he jumped out
of your hat" answered the pale young
clerk between his chattering teeth.
And so it was. The lady had taken
up her hat carelessly, put it on and
worn il to the store. On the way, she
said, she felt something moving in her
hat, but thought it was the breeze
moving in her hair. She was greatly
surprised at the developments, but not
so frightened as the pale young clerk.

THE CONSUMPTION PLAN.
A Law That Loses More to Nation
Than Ia Gained by 1t.

1han IA talneu ny it'
When the gain of what is termed a
whole nation under arms is estimated.
the exaggeration of the pompous
phrases hides the nakedness of the fact
that large numbers Of young men are
lost TO their country by the means to
which they resort TO escape military serv-
ice In Italy and Germany. says the Fort
nightly Review, these may be counted
by legions; in France men are less
numerous. because men are more
welded TO the native soil, and take to
service more gayly and more naturally,
but in Italy and Germany thousands
flock TO immigrant ships, thus choosing
lifelong self-expatriation, and every
wear. as the military and fiscal burdens
grow heavier, viii lads go away by
preference to lands where, however
hard be the work, the dreaded voice OF
the drill sergeant cannot reach them,
and they can "call their souls their
own"
Patriotism is fine quality, no doubt,
but it does not accord with the chill
and supercilious apathy which charac-
terizes the general temper and teaching
of this age, and young man may be
pardoned if he deem that his country
is less a mother worthy of love than a
cruel and unworthy stepmother, when
she demands three of the fairest years
of his life to be spent in barracll yard
and wrings his ears till the blood drops
from them or beats him about the head
with the butt of musket because he
does not hold his chin high enough or
shift his feet quickly enough.

TAXING The SOCIAL EVIL.
The New Ordinance Will Oper-
ate Next Monday.
AProfiSable Though Perhaps Nau-
seous Method of Raising
Municipal Wind.

The city will have new and i'm
portant source of revenue commencing
next Monday morning when the collec-
ton Of the monthly license OF $40 from
inmates Of houses of i'll fame will begin.
The members of this element OF Phoenix
popuIation have been carefully rounded
M by Marshal Blankenship who says
that there are forty.eight women sub
isct to the paymen of such license.
Unless an epidemic OF emigration fol.
lows the enforcement of the ordinance
the city will have a steady annual in
come from this source alone of IS, 760.
To people OF strong moral tendencies
the licensing OF prostitute seems a
cold bloOded affair, vet it is in fact only
Gmore direct way of getting at the in
come. In most places license is re-
hsed, still the safety valve of socie ty"
holds forth and no effort is made by the
authorities to remove it. Prostitutes
are arrested monthly, or at stated times
given stated fine which is in effect a
license. The Phoenix method of hand
ling the case has the advantage of being
both an honest and a comparatively
profitable one.
The most important result OF the en-
iOrcement of this ordinance is that
lswd women will naturally be kept un-
dsra more strict espionage than be-
fore.
The sum raised from this source is
supplemented by the money raised
irOm games, which just now cut an i'm
portant figure in the city's resources.
There are in the city twenty.three
banking games on seven of which $40 is
paid monthly and on sixteen $3.50, a
monthly revenue of 500. year ago
nine games contributed monthly 500.

AIRLINE HUMBUG.

The report that syndicate of Denver
capitalists project an airline railroad to
San Francisco has had the usual effect
in the latter city OF being hailed with
loud acclaim as q proposition that will
innure to its benefit without involving
its citizens in contributing towards it's
cost.
An airline railroad, however, to San
Francisco, is simply an impoasibility.
Such railroad would present engineer
ing difficulties that could only be over
come at cost that would render the en-
terpriee ridiculous as commercial
proposition. Besides there is no reason
why San Francisco should be reached
from Denver by railroad built on the
Muscovite plan.
1t is related that when the cEar
wanted railroad built from st. Peters
burg to point in his southern
provinces, he called for a map and
drawing straight line from his capital
to the objective point, told his engineers
to build the road on that line.

mands it to the circuit court for re-
versal of its action.
The courtroom was crowded. The
utmost interest at the outset first gave
place to the utmost satisfaction at the
close. The decision settles the matter
finally, as an appeal to the supreme
court, which does not meet till October,
when the fsir will be closed, will not
avail.
The opinion rendered covers only the
material pointe, owing to the lack of
time; the full decision will be rendered
later.
The opinion began by overruling the
motion by the government council to
dismiss the appeal from the circuit
court, on the ground OF jurisdiction
OF the appellate as untennable. 1t wac
also neld tnat gilt from the U nlted
States to the fair was in no sense

made in consideration OF the local cor

$16,000,000 towards public enterprise,

WE said few days since that the
prosecution in the Lizzie Borden trial
had developed nothing whatever that
pointed to her as the author OF the
murders of which she is charged. TIE
testimony for the prosecution is all in,
and even features OF it which the state
relied upon to raise suspicion against
the accused were shown, in rebuttal, to
be without foundation in truth. Thus,
her sister Emma, deposed that Lizzie
and her step-mother were on friendly
terms. and had been so for three years
and she also explained why she had
burnt up the light dress. 1t had got
paint on it several months before the
tragedy, and Emma had urged her to
'sburn mp the old thing" None OF the
testimony the police relied on for a con-
viction held together. The police
theory seems to have been built up on
the fact that they had failed to find any
other murderer, and selected Lizzie be-
cause they thought che might have
done the deed. AS far as one can Judge
from all the testimony published, and
from the failure of the state to bring
out any evidence inculpating the &C
cused, Lizzie Borden has been a victim
OF police ignorance and worked-up pre-
judice. She Is to be commiserated.

cHURcHMBN AND rHR CHINESE.

There seems to be an impression
abroad that the California churches are
in sympathy with the Six Companies in
their opposition to the enforcement OF
the Geary law. This impression doubt
less arises from the fact that the Presby-
terian assembly, and the Methodist, Bap-
tist and other national conventions
adopted resolutions denouncing the
Gesry act without any protest being in
terposed, as far as we have seen, from
the representatives. from this coast. II
is indeed strange that no voice was
raised in those bodies against the
passage Of resolutions which are
indisputably in conflict with the
opinion OF ut least two thirds OF the
members Of the churches OF this coast.
That there are some of the ministers
who are in line with their people on this
subject has been shown by their com
munications to the press. But we be-
lieve these ministers are the exceptions,
and in all cases they are old residents Of
the coast who have had practical expe-
rience OF the moral and material injury
the Unrestricted immigration OF the Chi
nese has inflicted upon this part OF the
country. Whilst the eastern preachers,
who know nothing whatever about the
practical effect Of the Chinese presence,
are bringing powerful Influences to bear
upon the administration to render
the law imperative and to procure
its repeal by the next congress, the
church people of this coast ought to do
something to counteract the effect OF
the ill-adviaed and ignorant action of
their eastern brethren. Let the new
California preachers study toe question
iu its moral aspect and bearings. They
would find great deal of instructive
matter to open their eyes If they would
consult the people who conduct the
Chinese missions here. The would
learn that one OF the most difficult prob
lens which presents iteelf to the work.
ers is the fact that the women they try
to redeem from life of prostitution are
held as chattles, and bought and sold in
open market. 1t Is q most aston
ishing thing to us that Chinese
women have been bought and sold
on this coast for years, and vet that this
monstrous crime has not produced
moro profound indignation against
Cinnamon than it has. A few days ago
one OF these unfortunate slave women
was murdered in this city. In the report
of the examination oil Quon Toy Ying
for this crime appears the following:
Tom Bin, the part owner of the
murdered woman, was then called, and
stated the deceased belonged 10 kim 10y
right OF purchase" AS far then "a the
Chinese in this country are concerned,
the surrender at Appotomox court house
meant nothing. Is it not possible that
some of the leading people in the Cali
fornia churches will open campaign of
education on the Chinese subject for the
benefit OF their eastern brethren?

THE VIKING SHIP.

Arrival of the Model of the Old Morse
Craft ut New York.
New YORK, June 17.-Those hardy
Norsemen, Captain Anderson and crew,
called into the port OF New York today
with the counterpart of Viking chip of
old, and were given a reception far dii-
ferent from that their ancestors received
400 years before Columbus landed on the
shores Of the new world. The Viking
came down from New London, Ct., in
tow. She WAS mat by steam barge
with committee of reception on board.
There WAS great blowing Of whistles
and dipping of flags, and the band
played the Viking march. When the
Viking passed Uncle Sans crack mon-
itor Miantonomsh, the boom of the big
guns had hardly ceased before sound
like big 6recracker came across tho
water; the Norseman was ans wering the
salute from six little cannons. The
Viking dropped anchor alongside the
Miantonomah.
Captain Sicard, of the Miantonomah,
paid an official visit. Then the crew
were taken on baard the Laura M.

EVERY MEANS ExuAusrEp.

Attorney-General OIney Admits That
the Jig Is Up.
WASHINGTON, June 1.-THE opinion
of the court of appeals in deciding that
the World Columbian exposition at Chi
cago shall be opened Sunday, was re-
ceived here by press bulletin early in
the afternoon. Attorney-Genera Olney
said his department had a clear record
in the case and exhausted every legal
means to enforce the mandate of con-
gress in the matter. 1t is generally
acknowledged, said he, that the act of
congress is couched in language suffi-
GENTLY dubious to make it's in
tent doubtful. 1t seemed to him
that the end was now reached,
though he was not entirely sure, not
having carefully examined the law but
that an appeal should be taken to the
supreme court OF the United States.
as the court did not meet Til 0cto6ea
and before the case could be heard the
fair would be closed by limitation.
While he saw no means in sight, per-
haps those who had been more inti-
matelv associated with the case than he
could yet discover some other means of
closing the fair on Sunday. Matters OF
a complicated character, he said, would
undou btedly grow out of the decision.
1t was certain to his mind that the gov
ernment could not now give to the
worlds fair authorities the 100000
still retained in the treasury
but which had been appropriated
upon certain conditions. Doubtless he
would be confronted with proposition
to take steps to recover the 100000
already paid out. He could not say
what course he would pursue. Perhaps
the gate money could be impounded to
reimburse the government, still he was
not entirely clear as to this, and would
have to consider the matter more in de-
tail. Another question affected by the
decision was the government exhibits.
1t was entirely clear that the govern
ment exhibits could not be open on Sun
day, but the conditions imposed might
prevent the government exhibits from
being opsn on any day. He hardly
thought, however, the law would bear
this construction.
