That wise and learned expounder of

of time to yet boast of the disappearance
of the webs which formed between his

Jim Campbell, had been born a second

period of his glorious career. like Caesar

dorsement TO any specific society for the suppress

cally express our hearty sympathy with any legis-
iatiye movement for the suppression of vice and

as individuals, to DO all that properly can to
assist in the accomplishment of that object

Some sermons are like hash; they have no

pronounce it good, but If they learn nothing

Fire Marshal Towe Forced to Be-

Fire Marshal Towe continued his investiga.

fires AT Folsom aud Eleventh streets, referred
TO In yesterdays CALL. He confessed tha: he
has been utterly unable 10 find motive and is

caused by a fire crank. The fact that the fires
were all started In places where they could be
easily seen and tile entire absence of a motive
led him TO that conviction. The neighbors Will
now be on the lookout for men who resemble
cranks. and 1t would be advisable for that class
OF individuals to give that neighborhood a wide
