THE GIRL AND THE LAWYER.
A Night Scene at the Central Police
Station.

Lottie Crabtree, the 15-year-old daughter
of an Oakland blacksmith, was arrested for
vagrancy last night by Detective Anthony
and lodged in the City Prison.
Lottie's story as told by the detective is
that she was employed as maid of all work
by clearinghouse keeper on Fourth street
until last Sunday night, when, the detective
says, a lawyer known as E. j.. jenkins,
who lives in the house and has an Office at
70 Fourth street, took her to room in
house on Montgomery street, where she
remained until she was arrested at the re-
quest Of the Society for the Prevention OF
Cruelty to Children. Jenkins went with
her to the prison and sat with her for a few
moments in the assembly-room.
The girl sObbed and wept and pressed the
sleeve of his light gray coat 10 her stream
ing eyes. When Anthony came to take her
inside she screamed and clung to the law
yer's side.
''Pll marry her now" said the attorney.
Il guess not" the detective replied, and
forthwith he conducted the wailing damsel
to the WOman's Hospital in the City Prison,
where he left her in charge of Matr0n Gil
mour. Anthony says that charge OF
felony will probably be made against the
attorney. When Jenkins was asked for an
explanation OF his conduct he gave an i'm
pertinent answer and went Oh his way.

eleven months. Ithas been a ebay

for sometime. We certainly rejoice
with every contentious Christian
over the unprecedented success the
protracted meetings at the different
churches have been meeting with.
When person is conscientious and
sincere in his belief it makes little
difference in our estimation whatre-
ligious denomination he unites with.
All Christians are laboring for the
same goal-life and happiness
throughout immortality-and if they
live as near right as they can no doubt
they will all receive that supreme OF
supreme rewards Well Done. !"
We all have different ideas and
opinions upon every question-it is
as natural for people to disagree as
it is for the oak tree to shed its leaves
at winters verge, but the day has
come when all Christians of whatso-
ever denomination harmoniously
dwell together and bid each other
godspeed. Mexico's religious in
clination and educational advantages
encourage people throughout the
country to take up their abode here
amongst us. Surely it is true that
religion has the promise of this life
as we'll as the life to come. Bob
Ingersoll has been accused of telling
in his Missouri lectures what seems
to us to be to him an unbecoming
truth, for surely he is the last man
on earth to whom any credit is due
for this state of affairs-the motor

The POst.0ffice Problem.

The Fulton Sun says: A young
lady went in the Fulton postoffice,
handed in a dollar bill and said she
wanted twice as many twos as ones
and the balance in three cent stamps.
Deputy Joe Craigo smilingly started
in an off hand way to count out
the stamps, grew perplexed, COM
menced figuring and figured until
be got red in the face, when the
young lady politely told him she
was in no hurry, that he could fig
ure it out and she would call next
day for the stamps. Now who can
figure out the problem of how many
stamps were given the young lady
when she called the next day?
In reference to the above post
Office problem from the Fulton Sun
the same paper furnishes the follow
ing answer:
"Joe Craigo informs US that when
the young lady called this morning
after the stamps (mention of which
was made in yesterdays paper) he
gave her Sc stamps; "a twos, IL
ones and 5 threes for the ST."

ABSOLUTELY PURE
THANKSGIVING PROCLAMATION.
The President Calls on the People to
Observe November 80.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. g.
The President to-day issued the fol-
lowing Thanksgiving proclamation:
By the President of the United
States of America:
PROCLAMATION.
While the American people should
every day remember with praise and
thanksgiving the divine goodness
and mercy which have followed them
since their beginning as g nation, it
is fitting that one day in each year
should be especially devoted to the
contemplation of the blessing we
have received from the hand of God,
and to the grateful acknowledgment
of his loving kindness.
Therefore, l, Grover Cleveland.
President of the United States, do
hereby designate and set apartThurs-
day, the thirtieth day of the present
month of November, as day of
thanksgiving and praise to be kept
and observed by all the people of our
land. On that day let US forego our
ordinary work and employments and
assemble in our usual places of wor-
ship, where we may recall all that
God has done for US, and where
from graceful hearts our united trib.
ute of praise and song may reach
the throne of grace. Let the reun-
ion of kindred and the social meet
ing of friends lend cheer and enjoy
ment of the day, aud let generous
gifts of charity for the relief of the
poor and needy prove the sincerity
of our thanksgiving.

CHAMP CLARK.
He Is Optimistic Regarding the Future

From the st. Louis Republic.

From the st. Louis Republic.
Congressman Champ Clark of
Missouri, who made a very strong
speech in favor of free coinage, was
asked by your correspondent for
his views, and he submitted them
in writing, as follows:
- Hope springs eternal in the human breast
Man never is but always to be blessed
"While it looks black as a stack
of black cats for silver now, / be-
lieve the silver men were right, and
that in the end we will triumph.
The people of this country are
utterly opposed to the single gold
standard and have the power to
elect Congress which will carry
out their ideas. What shape the
fight will assume no man can tell !;
but it will 60 on, like Tennyson's
Brook forever, or until the wrong
OF 1878 Is rlghted. l have a hope,
only faint one, however, that even
this Congress may do something to
help the people. A large num-
ber of those in both Houses who
voted for repeal declared that they
were bimetallists. If they were
honest and not speaking for effect,
a good bill for silver coinage ought
to pass both Houses in a short time
after introduction. The Democratic
party is historically and logically
committed to this lire of action and
it entirely passes my comprehension
how it can refuse to redeem its
pledges. 1t can't do it and it won't
do it."

The Christian Church Revival Closed.

The Christian Church Revival Closed.
For five weeks the Christian
church of Mexico has had very in.
teresting meeting in progress. Elder
Hosea Northcutt, who is a native
Missourian and in the employ of
the National Board OF the Christian
church in the United States, has
done the preaching, assisted by
Eld. Taylor, the pastor of the
church. Never within the history
of the church at Mexico has a meet
ing with such marked result been
held. Its influence has apparently
permeated every home, and the
heart of every true Christian in the
city has united with those of the
Christian church in rejoicing over
the results of the meeting. One
hundred and thirty-five have united
with the church at this meeting and
many who had wandered away re-
turned to work in the Masters vine.
yard. Elder Northcutt's closing
sermon was preached from the text
in Matthew % :14-"For many are
called, but few are chosen" He
showed that all were called but few
chose to accept the call. All were
called by the Bible and those who
preached its holy preeopts. During
the meeting Ed. Northcutt had the
hearty support and enco uragement of
the pastor and each officer and
nearly if not all the membership of
the church. To the sweet voice of
his Christian daughter, Miss Mary,
may be attributed no small part of
Elder Northcutt's wonderful success.
She, by so many of the Christian
graces that adorn the female sex,
has in addition a sweet voice which
is all attuned to the glory and praise
of God, and she uses it to make
others happy in His service. The
closing remarks were a benediction
of blessings upon each Christian and
church and each pastor in our city
and an earnest prayer for their
peace, prosperity and Christian
growth. He thanked the papers
for their kindness and all the people
for their good behavior. There we're
