keeping them 'quiet."
In fact, they are being kept so quiet
that the names Of the places were not
given. One of the residences entered
was that of q railroad man ne az College
aud Upper Main streets. The thieves
got clock and other valuables. They
opened the door and committed the bur
glary during the absence Of the family.
Between s and O'Clock residence at
or near 837 Date street WAS entered and
5000 worth of valuables stolen. The
thieves used key to the front door, and
the detectives have already clue to the
perpetrators.
The third and boldest burglary was
committed late in the night in the room
of one of the Gibbons brothers. who
keep a saloon at 937 West First street.
Mr.. Gibbons emptied the saloon cash
drawer, took the money to his SOON and
retired. He awoke yesterday morning
to find over $50 taken from his proceeds
OF the day before. The detectives are

Zsigler came to this city some months

clothes. In case suit was mot drawn
until $50 was paid in, the subscriber was
to get suit anyhow.
He got 40 many persons az possible

large amount OF money, he skipped the
town. leaving many persons the loser
from 81 to $3S piece.

eyed woman.
About O'Clock Saturday night a cab
with drawn curtains halted at the Sec.
ond street entrance OF the Hollen beck,
opposite the police station. In the cab
was a woman. Another one entered
quickly and the cab hurried away down
Spring street. into North Main.
When il reached the plaza, the cab
suddenly stopped and Chinese woman
was almost thrown into it. The slave
was jsrked in 80 quickly that the China
men scarcely had time to think hat was
going on. One OF them, seeing tn 0
woman placed in the cab, rushed up in
q vain attem pit to rescue her, only to re-
ceive q severe blow from whip in the
hands OF hackman.
The Chinaman fell to the ground and
the driver dashed his horse into dead
run south on Main street to Temple and
Spring. Here the closed hack with tho
kidnapped Chinese and the two white
women turned up Temple, then north
on New High street to the San Fernando
depot.
just as the 7:45 San Francisco train
pulled into the station three women, all
of them apparently American and we'll
dressed, took berth in the Pullman.
One of them WAS seen to leave the car q
moment later. The other two proved to
be the woman who entered the cab at
the Hollenbeck and the Chinese woman.
The slave was dressed as an American
lady and was heavily yelled.

meant is not known. unless the mysteri-
GUS woman spirited the slave away to
take her to San Francisco in the hope OF
saving her from life of dsbauchery.

above named book. We commend the
HERALD for its efforts in exposing such
pernicious literature.
"All good citizens and lovers of youth
aud home should unite in cleansing our
public library from ell works which have
even slant toward debasing influence.
mo one can tell to what depths an
immoral book will plunge a boy or girl,
and the ashes OF the best library would
be valuable If by no other means IL could
be cleansed, rather than to have such
library with one such book as may fall
into the hands of hundreds"
REV. WILLIAM KNIGHTEN.
Rev. William Knighten OF Grace
Methodist Episcopal church was very
outspoken on the subject. saying:
my attention has been called to the
Translation of q certain French book
which is in the public library of this
city. 1t is of the vilest and most blss-
phemous character conceivable. 1t has
been in circulation among the young
people, poisoning and corrupting their
minds, and its evil effects already cam
not be estimated.
''The HERALD has very courageously
exposed and denounced the book. We
certainly commend the course OF the
HERALD and hope it may continue the
fight until every such piece of vileness is
swept from the shelves of our library.
III parents could know the depths of
degradation depicted in the characters OF
thia book they would favor public bon
fire.
IF brothers knew that such q book
in the hands of libertine might be tho

innocent eisters, they would demand
the complete and eternal destruction of
the volume, with all its relatives, in the
institution.

complete quarantine OF the library until
it is frmigated and generally disin-
fected,"
The herald., 1894-08-13

"Thess things have l spoken unto you
that Ny joy might remain in you and
that your Joy might be full" These
words touch us with more force because
they were spoken just as our Lord was
entering the dark shadows OF His own
life. He WAS talking OF joy to His dis
ciples, while His own soul was filling
with sorrow.
One OF the purposes OF the teachings
OF Christ is to promote human joy. The
need of Joy is universal. A joyless life
is ruined life. The religion of the New
Testament is not gloomy. 1t is false to
cay that the Christian religion restricts
or suppresses Joy in the believer. Who
ever processes to be Christian and still
lives sad and gloomy career, has
torn from the crown Of religious
life enc of its choicest jewels.
The purpose OF the gospel also is to
teach abiding joy. One great curse OF
our life is that we tire Of things so soon.
All earthly joys wear out. All ages have
their own peculiar joye. Childhood,
youth, mature life and old age, each has
it's special Joy. But no matter how
hearty or proper they are, they fade,
they wasts away, they die. The saddest
sight on earth is an empty old age, joys
fleeing or fad forever, the hand and
heart empty. and the soul crying out,
There's nothing in life left for me-"
In the place OF this Joy that dies out.
and to make this empty old age impossi-
BILE, Jesus has come to bless human life
with his own joy. His joy-what is it?
For one thing it ia the Joy of being con-
scious OF oneness with God. He could
say: 81 and my Father are one" So
can we say the same in very important
sense. What brings 80 much joy to the
son or daughter as to feel himself or her
self one-in perfect sympathy with a
noble. and beloved parent? What an
unfailing joy for any man to be able to
80 into his life daily saying: To-day,
in storm or sunshine, in success or de.
feat, can be ono with God" Another
Joy of our Lord which may be ours, is
mastery over evil. Like a man who
walka the earth with NO fear OF infec-
tious disease, Jesus lived among Us the
master of all evil. 1t brought groans
from his soul and blood from his brow,
but it did not faint his life. Think OF it |!
What would you give to MISTER all evil
We may have that Joy. If We liye for
that purpose Jesus will give US that vic
tory.
The last joy we notice ia the con-
aciousness that our life, like that of
| Christ, is given to redeem our fellow
| men. There are only two kinds OF life
! possible to us. One is getting out of
| the world all that we can the other is
giving all of Ourselves to the world.
The one brings joys-many Of them,
but joys that die. Tho other gives Joy,
like that of Christ, that cannot die.
The gospel will ssem slow in its pro-
greas, but God ia waiting patiently for
many OF US to leave our lives of selfish
ness and fading Joys, for lives that are
full of the joys that filled the cup OF
| His dear Son.

Yesterdays ball games at the First
street grounds resulted in favor Of the
Francis Wilson's land Ell Telegrafos.
The first game was between the Francis
Wilson's and Southern Paci6cs, and was
an easy game for the Wilson's, the score
being 20 to 5. Their fine fielding and
excel lent team work was too much for
the infants. Their battery work was a
feature. Buck Franck at short had an
of day this usually brilliant player had
very hard luck; for the Southern Pa
cifics, Ledbetter, NOLAN and Sprecker
did about all the playing worthy OF men
ton. The Southern Pacifics will have
to be greatly strengthened to hold their
own in the league.
The second game was won by the Ell
TelegrafoH over the Boyle Heights Stars,
by score of II to ~. The batting OF
Kutz and A. Thomas of the Boyle
Heights boys was the feature of their
playing. All the hits made by the Ell
Telegrafos were very timely and assIs ted
BY the Stars numerous errors enabled
the former to win the game. Harris's
catch of Kutz's hit in the sixth inning
saved the game for his eide, and was
one Of the prsttieet catches ever seen
on the grounds; be played a perfect
game all through. Plant, although
credited with an error, played an sxcsl-
lent game, as did King and Grotzinger.
Mike made some great one-hand catches
at first; Patterson pitched a very good
game. The game was we'll played. rs
the grounds were in q miserable condi-
ton, which accounts for the numerous
errors of all the teams.

staff Captain Cox is q very able speak
or, good authority on the work of the
Salvation Army, having had q wide ex-
perisnce. Her subject was From Ocean
to Ocean, and she gave graphic de-
scription OF the work of the army from
it's start. She spoke of the work in
London, and of what was being done on
the continent. In Switzerland she
showed how the work was carried on
and the odds that had to be fought
against in that country. At one time,
while the commissioner who is in charge
in that country was leading meeting,
thsy were ordered by the police to close
at o'clock. The leader, who did not
want to close just then, gave the police
man note to take to his chief, and BY
the time he got back, which was in
about three.Quarters OF an hour, he was
ready TO close, having finished the meet
ing.
She spoke Of the rescue work in some
of the large cities; how they went out
at midnight and sang Salvation songs
to the girls who gathered around
them, giving some instances of what
had been done in that direction. She
spoke Of the Work in America; how in
most OF the large cities, from the Allan
tic to the Pacific, helters had been es-
tablished and slum work going on in
them.
Captain Harmon, young lady from
San Francisco who 10 travelling with
Staff Captain Cox, sang at intervals dur
ing the meeting. Altogether it WAS an
interesting service, and close attention
was paid to her address bv tho audience.
Monday night, August 18th, she speaks
in First Presbyterian church, the aub-
jact being Soap, Soup and Salvation.

the second chapter OF St. John, four.
tenth verse 81 have written unto you,
young men, because ye are strong, and
the word OF God abideth in you, and ye
have overcome the wicked one."
The address was strong and stirring,
directly for young men. The speakers
dealing with the subject was character
lied by Its plainness and simplicity the
right names were applied to the right
subjects. Without attempt at conceal
ment, in words clear and concise, those
matters affecting the interest OF young
men in their life here and hereafter, were
spoken Of in no uncertain way.
Mr.. Giles kellogg, member Of the state
committee, residing at San Diego, was
