need not be surprised that those who
have passed through the fire do not
feel as gay as once they did.
Do not be out of patience with those
who come not out of their dependency.
They may triumph over their loss, and
yet their gait shall tell you that they
have been trouble-touched. Are we
Stoics that we can, unmoved, see our
cradle rifed of the bright eyes and the
sweet lips? Can we stand unmoved
and see our gardens of earthly delight
uprooted? Win Jesus, who wept him
self, be angry with us if we pour our
tears into the graves that open to
swallow down what we love
best? Was Lazarus more dear
TO him than our beloved
dead to us? No. We have right to
weep. Our tears must come. You
shall not drive them back TO scald the
heart They fall into Gods bottle. At
tlicted ones have died because they
could not weep. Thank God for the
sweet, the mysterious relief that comes
to us in tears! Under this gentle rain
the flowers of corn put forth their
bloom. God pity that dry, withered,
parched, all-consuming grief that
wrings its hands. and grinds its teeth,
and bites its nails unto the quick, but
can not weep! We may have found
the comfort of the cross, and yet ever
after show that in the dark night, and
by the brook Jabbok, we were trouble
touched.
Again: we may take the idea of the
text, and announce the approach of

is appropriate for philanthropists and
Christians to cry out with this angel of
the text THE day breaketh." The

The church of Christ is rising up in it's
strength to go forth, fair as the
moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as
an army with banners" Clap your
hands, all we people, the day breaketh.
The bigotries of the earth are perish
ing. The time was when we were
told that if we wanted to get to heaven,
we must be immersed or sprinkled or
we must believe in the perseverance of
the saints, or in falling away from
grace, or liturgy, or no liturgy; or
they must be Calvinists, or Armenians,
in order to reach heaven. We have all
come to confess now that these are
non-essentials in religion.

PARDON Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 24.-Judge MUIR
ply, who sentenced McNulty to death,
has gone to Sacramento in compliance
with q telegram from Governor Mark
ham which he received this afternoon.
There is no doubt that the governor will
place great weight upon what Judge
Murphy says in regard to the commuta-
tion of the death sentence, but as Muir
ply has already refused to sign a petit
tion for communication, it is unlikely he
will give advice which would save Nc
Nulty's neck. The governor is consid-
ering every point in the case. and great
influence is being brought to bear upon
him in the condemned mans behalf.
SACRAMENTO, Jan. 24 = Governor
Markham has not yet given any indica-
tion OF whath intends to do in the case
of McNulty, sentenced to be hanged in
San Francisco day alter tomorrow. The
governor has been sent petitions praying
for mercy for the condemned man, and
they are petitions which will undoubt-
edIy Dc hard to resist.
Later-It now looks as if McNulty's
sentence will be commuted to life i'm
prisonment. Superior Judge Murphy,
who came up from San Francisco to-
night, has been long in consultation
with Governor Markham since his ar
rival. When seen late tonight the Judge
declined to talk on the subject. The
governor was more communicative,
however. He said Judge Murphy ad-
mitted that under the circumstances
perhaps the ends of justice would be
subserved by committing the sentence
to lie imprisonment. He added that
while his own convictions had not
changed, it appeared that sentiment of
he public favored Communication. su-
preme justice, many superior judges,
the sheriff, district attorney and other
high officials had petitioned for leniency,
while no formal protest against commu-
tation of sentence had been presented.
Tie governor said he would some time
tomorrow announce his final decision in
the matter. AS to what it will be, he
leaves to guess, but it looks as if there 10
ground for McNulty to hope.

One of the Escnpes Kecaptured-How
the Delivery Was Effected.
SANTA Rosa, CAL, Jan. 24-Owens,
one of the four prisoners who escaped
from Jail here last night, was captured
in Hesldsburg today. He was hiding
under his mothers house. The two
murderers, Espey and .Bruggy, and one
burglar are still at large.
The only authentic story OF the es-
cape, and the manner in which it was
carried out, was secured by the Asso-
ciated Press correspondent this morning
from prisoner in the jail who refused
to say anything until a promise was
made to keep his name secret. He says
Bruggy, who made chum of him, told
him three weeks ago that break was
going TO be made. He told Bruggy he
had better tell no one else, and the lat
ter, so far as he knows, followed that ad-
vice. A thorough search was made of
the Jail about four weeks ago. At that
time there was nothing of suspicious
character. This prisoner says file was
first brought into the Jail two weeks ago.
With its aid keys were made which un-
locked Bruggy's and Espey's cells. An
impression was first taken by means of
tin foil.
The original plan was to make keys to
unlock all the inner doors, and when
the time came hold up guard in the
front office OF the Jail la Evans and
Morel. This plan was gwen up when
a steel saw msds its appearance in the
jail. Bruggy and Espey then decided
TO cut out through the cage and break
the glaes in the roof from the top OF the
main cage.
Within the laet few days all OF the 40
odd inmates of the isil knew break
was to be made, and sll stood in, to use
the informsnt's phrase, to assist the
two h-conspirators. Two iron bare
in the lattice work OF the cage were cut
on Monday evening. The remaining
two, the cutting OF which was required
to open square, were finished yesterday
morning at IL O'Clock. 1t had been re-
marked by outslders that for two or
three days past the prisoners had been
unususlly noisy, singing, shouting, etc.
The noise is now understood as being
part of cleverly planned scheme.
While their fellow prisoners were Great
ing aa much noise as possible, the steel
saw was being used on the cage at the
north end OF the Jail. The correspon-
dents informant Gays the two bars were
cut in IA minutes.
When everything was in readiness at
O'Clock last night, Bruggy called a
council of war and arranged for certain
prisoners to guard the hole in the cage,
and not let any one cut unit Espey and
he had half an hours start. An effort
was made to do so, but Buggy and
Espey had not been out more than II
minutes before the other four followed.
The Informant says Buggy had two re
volyers and Espey one.

count of one of the iurymen having

ing the following telegram was received

ing indictments against public officers.
The grand jury as en- mpaneled,
consisted of 10 members, the minimum
necessary TO constitute legal body.
Without Bodenhamer the grand jury
would be one less than the legal REQ ouire-
ment. Rumors are ahoat that Boden-
hamer was pardoned by the governor of
Missouri, in which case, it is contended,
the jury would be legal, as it restored
him to his full civil rights.

THE REVENUE BILL REPORTED.
TIE REvENUE BILL.
1t Provides for an Income Tax and More
Tax whisky.

1t Provides for an Incoma Tax and More
Tax on whisky.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-The majority
report of the committee on ways and
means on the internal revenue bill, the
most important feature of which is the
income tax, was given to the public to-
day. The committee states that the OBJ
iect OF the bill is to supply the prospec-
tive deficiency in the revenue. The
committee recommends an increase of
the tax on cigarettes and whisky, on
playing cards and on incomes.
A new feature Of the report is the por-
ton which deals with increasing the
whisky tax. This was written by Mont
gomery (Dem.N of Kentucky. 1t pro-
vides for an additional tax OF 1U cents
a gallon upon all distilled spirits; 10
cents per gallon to be levied upon all
LIQUOR now in bonded warehouses, as
we'll as liquor that may be produced at
distilleries in the future. The bonded
period is limited to eight years. 1t is
estimated that the increase will yield
SIC, 900 900 additional revenue.
The success of the income tax men in
finally getting the bill out OF committee
was reached after a sharp contest. At
first the Republicans refused to vote.
Three Democrats, Cochran, Stevens and
Bynum, also refused to vote. This broke
the quorum and the income tax men
were powerlees. Then Reed came to
the rescue and said if another roll call
was taken the Republicans would vote
to make quorum, but not to favor the
report. The roll call gave 10 votes, or
four more than quorum. Cochran and
Stevens etill refused to vote, but q
Quorum was made without them. Then
the motion WAS put on reporting the
bill to the house. This prevailed by the
following vote:
Ayes, Wilson. McMillin, Bynum, Whit
ing, Breckiuridge. Tarsney, Montgomery,
BRYAN, rurner-9, all Democrats.
Nays-Reed, Burrows, Payne, Dalzell,
Hopkins, Republicans; Cochran and
Stevene. Democrats; total, z.
A noticeable feature of the vote was
the action of Wilson, Breckinridge and
Bynum, in voting to report the bill.
BRYAN of Nebraska, the Trainer OF the
income tax measure, says it's provisions
apply to- the salaries of all public Off
cials, as we'll as private per ons. Con
gressmen, who receive $4,000 per year,
| will have exemption on $4,000 OF it, but
| the DISTURBING officers OF the senate will
retain per cent of the remaining $1,000
| and turn it over to the treasury. The
same rule applies to all other govern.
ment officials, including the president.
