THE PARK BRANCH.
Eureka Valley Does Not Favor Dis
COuraQinp JOOSt.


The citizens of Eureka Valley are deeply
concerned about the statement that the
branch line Of the electric road on Eight
eenth street from Guerrero to Falcon
avenue is to be shortly shut down. Presi-
dent Joost of the San Mateo company
asserted on Saturday that if he was not
allowed to build and extend the park or
Eighteen tn street branch the franchise on
eighteenth street was worth nothing 10
his company and that the cars would soon
be taken off.
Many of the property-owners of Eureka
Valley and on the line of the Park branch
visited the scene Of SATURDAYS trouble and
viewed the wrecked roadbed ON Falcon
avenue.
Many of the lot owners, who are princi-
pally of the working classes. expressed
their dissatisfaction at the nasty action of
having the tracks removed from the few
hundred feet on Falcon avenue, which is
necessary to secure an easy grade for the
cars to cross the Mission hills. A meeting
OF the Eureka Valley residents is to be
held the present week, and the Mayors
action OF preventing the electric road from
reaching the park will be condemned. The
residents spoke Of thepresent inferior ser
vice given by the Eighteenth-s car.
which only makes trip every twenty five

cient patronage received to warrant put

AT GRACE CHURCH.
The Rev. IL. r. HaWeis in
the Pulpit.
His Subject Was Prayer, Its Mech
anism, Manner and Matter, and
How 1t Is Answered.

Rev. ii. r. Haweis, the distinguished
clerical and musical visitor from England,
occupied the pulpit during the morning
service at Grace Episcopal Church yester-
day. A very large congregation greeted
him and listened to his discourse,
which occupied in the delivery over an
hour. with interest and appreciation to the
end.
Dr. Haweis chose for his text the second
verse of the Goth Psalm. 20, Thou that
dearest prayer, to Thee shall all flesh
come" and his sermon dealt with, first,
the universal fact of prayer; second, the
mystery of the mechanism OF prayer; and
third, the manner and the matter of prayer.
The speaker took up first the oft re-
peated assertion that we cannot prove
the existence of God" and treated it from
a scientific standpoint. Science assumes
the existence of many things and facts
which it cannot prove, and a religious
man assumes the existence of God In the
same way.
1T is reasonable" DR.. Haweis said,
ITO believe in many things which we can
not prove We cannot prove the existence
of anything around us, that anything ex-
lists outside ourselves. We may all be
dreaming, or everything which we seem
to know and feel and hear and see may
simply be ideas evolved within ourselves.
One thing, however, which goes to prove
the existence OF God is the universal cry
of tie. heart in times of trouble, distress
and danger for something higher and
stronger than itself on which to lean.
I'm the parliament of religions all met on
this common ground, a belief in supreme
being, and nearly every one believed in
prayer"
Belief in God, DR.. Haweis declared, was
a "postulate OF religion" and the one
thing that would harmonZe human lives
OF prayer DR.. Hawels said that it should
be earnest and never-ceasiDg. We should
pour ou. ali the desires of our hearts, no
matter how trivial, before God, and believe
that he will answer US in The way that is
best for ourselves.
God Will hear US, ii for no other reason,
BECAUSE he must.
Sometimes" he said. "we say that we
are too insignificant to be listened to. but
we must remember that we are part OF
God Man is mind. and God is the SOW
ereign mind. The point of communion
between man and God is this homogeneity.
He is one with us. mirr0red in US as the
sun rs mirfored In every tiny dewdTOp, and
every prayer that rises from the human
heart finds place in the great heart of
God"
AS to the "never-ceasIng" OF prayer DR..
Haweis explained that this does not mean
praying ceaselessly, but that we all should
be able at all times to epter into ourselves

"What is Sunday?
Putting aside all prejudice. it is day
of rest and recreation. Worship is but
part of it. A day for the busy man to
play wi h bisbabies. A day to fill lungs
accustomed to foul odors with pure c0un-
try air.
what are the reasons given for closing
the fair? First: That the Sabbath is
holy. Can it not be kept as sacred under
the pines and palms of our beautiful park

Second: The laborer must have his
Sunday for rest. We ride on streetcars on
sunday. and even going to church. still
this is not spoken of from the pulpit.
1--WE might at least le. the laborer make
the first protest. There is no need of the
fair attendants working Sunday. There
are unemrloyed men enough that new
recruit could be found for Sunday.
"Why should the fair be open Sundays?

The whisky trust fought for closed

AMERICAN WRITERS.
Pacific Coast Authors i'm Continental
Circulation.


The great firm of Tauchnitz at Leipzig
has published In its world. renowned Eng
lish reprint 212 volumes since 1891. These
are successful works from all authors in
fiction and bellies lettres writing in Eng
ish. In this great German series the YER
dict of the En- ish-reading world can be
reached. America has furnished thirty
seven volumes. bearing the names of live
and successful leaders in bookmaking
The Pacific Coast has reason to be proud
of its representation. Five authors have
furnished sixteen of the successful thirty
seven American volumes culled to meet
Continental taste from the thousands pub
iished in America in the TWO years.
The Californian authors, or those iden-
tilted with the Pacific Coast school are !:
Mark Twain. Bret Harte. Richard Henry
Savage, Kate Douglas Wiggin and Am
brose Bierce; no others. The volumes
number from 2725 to 1885. in copyright. 242
in all. The entire American list is {:
Marion Crawford 10, Richard Henry
Stevenson 3, Mark Twain 2, Richard
Harding Davis 2, Edward Eggleston 2, and
Kate. Douglas Wiggin. Ambrose BIerce.
Frank r. Stockton, Blanche Willis How
ard, Oliver Wendell Holmes and Frances
H0dgson Burnett l v0lums each. 1t is
singular tndI all tneSe authors are living,
that only hree women's names appear in
the thirteen selected writers, and that so
great a proportion OF live literature by
careful foreign selection is from the Pa
cifc Coast-being nearly 40 per cent If the
authors and 43 per cent Of the volumes.
The extraordinary industry and success
of Marion Crawford and Colonel Savage
IS remarkable. and this selection to meet
trade explains the reasons why these works
are alone published of all our writers in
France. England and Germany as well as
at home.
1t is matter of pride to note the verdict
of the whole Anglo-Saxt reading-world
upholding the vigorous romantic writer's
of the Pacific slope. Facts are stubborn
thingsw The firm of 'Tauchnitz" are the
heaviest booksellers in the world, as no
other single organization ever handled 5000
volumes.
Both father and son have been recently
made barons of the German empire.

From late papers it is learned
that the new tariff which was in
tended to increase French imports
to the exclusion of California pro-
ducts has not been found to work
well, and the duties on -four, sal
mon, biscuits, salt beef, etc., have
been reduced to the former rate
5 per cent.
The two pirates who murdered
the crew and stole the schooner
Niuroahiti, have been sent to
France for trial. While in prison
at Manila they facetiously asked
the Governor to lend them a man
dolin to break the monotony of
prison life.
The pearl shell trade will get a
set back, as the French Govern
ment will no longer permit the use
of diving apparatus, and shells
must now be procured by ordinary
methods.
Business in the colony is in a
very depressed state, owing to the
low price of produce, and no change
for the better may be expected for
some time to come.
