ouTwITTED BY A CLERGYMAN.
How Methodist Minister Got into tho
War Department Ahead of His Turn.

A prominent Methodist Clergyman in
this city fell into reminiscent mood one
evening and gave party of friends an en-
tertaining account of the way in which he
succeeded in obtaining an interview with
the secretary of war in the days of the re-
bellion.
Visitors to Washington who have ex.
perienced the annoying difficulties and de-
lays generally encountered in reaching the
inner office of a member of the cabinet in
these piping times Of peace can imagine
what such an attempt meant in war times,
when every cabinet officer, and particular
ly the secretary Of war, was overwhelmed
with work seven days in the week.
1t was q matter Of the most pressing
necessity" said the clergyman, for me to
go to the front of the Union lines without
an hours delay. reached Washington in
the morning and soon learned that could
not cross the Potomac into Virginia with
out pass from the secretary of war.
Thinking itwould be no trouble to get
the pass, 1 inquired where the war depart
ment was and hurried up to Seventeenth
street, where it was then located. About
Sixteenth street noticed q line of men
on the sidewalk, and as hurried along
found that this line extended up Pennsyl
vania avenue around the corner of Seven
tenth street and down the block to the
entrance to the war department.
MEN in the line told me they were wait
ing their turn to see Secretary Stanton,
and some of those near the head had ac-
tually held their places "a hours / was
also told that 1 must take my place at the
tail end of that long line, and perhaps 1
would reach the department the next day.
THAT would never do for me, and as 1
walked slowly down the line put on my
thinking cap and thought out a scheme
to get into the seoretary's office without
any delay. Before got to the end of that
line I had formed plan Of procedure.
II hurried down the avenue until 1
found stationery store, where bought
a package of foolsoap paper and couple
of large, official looking envelopes. Fold
ing up several sheets of the blank paper,

Going East.
Los Angeles Players Have Seined
the Western Association.
Lohman, Cobb, Balss aud Glenalvin &
Go With the DetrOits, Where
HuIon aud Tanning Have
Also Signed.

The lovers OF the national game as
played by many Of the old-time Los
Angeles ball tossers will be pleased to
learn where they have ''signed" for the
coming season.
In about q week Pete Lohman, the
old reliable catcher and the most talka-
tive man who ever stopped a ball, will
start for New Orleans, where, on the
25th inst, he will begin the season with
the Detroit team. The Detroits will
open the season there with the Crescent
City club, and then play a series OF
games with the clubs OF the southern
league, including Memphis, Nashville
and st. Louis, before opening in Detroit
and the north.
Pete will be preceded few days by
Jack Tanning, the handsome Oakland
boy, who will play the season with the
New Orleans team. Jack will be re-
membered by all the ladies who ever
attended ball game in Los Angeles.

heard.
George Cobb of Riverside, who twirled
the sphere for Baltimore two seasons
ago, has joined the Detroits, and he,
with Glenalvin, Earl, McGucken and
Balsz, will accompany Lohman to New
Orleans.
This coterie of Southern California
players may be relied upon to keep up
the reputation of the golden west, even
in ball playing.
KID Hulen, than whom no more in
teresting player ever graced ball field,
has joined the Minneapolis team, while
Hutchinson will play with Grand
Rapids. Both teams, including Detroit,
are in the Western association.
All the boys say they hope to zee base
ball revived here by the time they return
next fall. Pete says he would rather
play in California than any other place,
but then, you know, the people, or the
managers of the league, we're go peculiar
and finances were too stringent to war
rant good bail.
The following players compose the
Detroit team for the coming season.
Among them will be recognized the
names OF several well-known California
players. Everett was formerly with the
San Jose club, Carroll played with the
'Friscos, and Earl wes with the Oak
lands. The team and their positions
are:

HEALTH AND BEAUTY.
ANOTHER LECTURE ON THEIR RE-
LATIONS BY MISS BIERER.
Dress, Carriage and Complexion Dis
oussed In Their Relation to
Feminine Attractions aud
Well Being.

By far the best lecture on Dress Car
riage and Complexion ever given in this
city was delivered by Miss Helen Biersr
yesterday afternoon at Unity church.
Miss Bierer was attired in very fetch
ing gown of cream satin. The bodice
decollette, revealed throat and arms 30
exquisitely moulded that a sculptor
might delight to copy them. Maintain
ing an easy conversational manner, Miss
Bierer held the undivided attention OF
her audience for two hours, and they
thought it only few minutes.
Harmony OF colors and individuality
of dress were discussed and many
charming suggestions given. This easily
led to the subject OF carriage.
Miss Bierer's explanation OF the
Greek poise was exceedingly lucid and
far easier to practice than any deacrip-
ton found in books.
1t is to be wished every girl in this
city might have been present when
Miss Blerer illustrated the different
styles OF walking-graceful and other
Wlee.
1T is conceded" che said, "by the
tion, the cause of IA per cent of all the
deaths, may be prevented by the proper
development of the lungs-by means of
we'll regulated breathing exercise. The
more slm pie the method the more prac-
tical the results"
This statement WAS followed by illus
trating three valuable breathing exer-
cises.
Miss Bierer insisted there was no ex-
cuse Tor sallow, rough or blotched COM
plexions, no excuse for using facial
Whitewash.
She gave many valuable formulas and
suggeetions to aid the ladies in securing
a lovely pink and white complexion,
such as she possesses. The ladies seemed
so interested and asked 80 many ques-
tions that Miss Bierer invited them all
to reception Monday afternoon at III
Temple street, where the dear creatures
will doubtless all talk at once in their
eagerness to learn more of this new
gospsl of health and beauty.
