Rev. A. @. Bane preached from Mat

is the way which leadsth into liie."
Heaven has always been accessible to
man. Every energy OF the Triune God
and Of angels has been exerted for the
salvation of man.
First men came by way OF the law and
conscience to God. Now the gospel
train is the only transportation which
leads US up to God. Now we have rail-
road conveyance, and the speed has
been 80 much faster during the present
century that while at the end OF 1900
years there were only 1877 .000, 900 being
conveyed there are now 400 ,000, 900 pas
sengers registered, and accommodations
for many times the number-more added
in 80 years than in 1900 years preceding.
During the last year more have been
added in America than in any three
preceding years. For three months
Auring the past winter, in five OF our
sister Btates, 65, 900 conversions were re-
corded. The old gospel is not loosing
its power.
Christ, the Prince OF Life, is president
OF the road; the right of way is the free
gilt OF God. The track was laid by Je-
hovah's hand.
No human rights were sacrificed no
Dounties were required. Wherever
roads OF repentance and faith crossed

Tha ThaosophIatnA

At Blavatsky ball last evening the
Countess G. Wachtmeister gave a very
interesting address on Theosophy, to an
overfowing house. in which she gave
an account of the theosophical move
ment during the last century and its re-
organization in America
Theosophy was defined as the root
idea of all religions, which furnishes the
key to the proper understanding OF all
ancient sacred scriptures. 1t teaches
not only that there is physical evolut ion
but also soul evolution. which is car
ried on through the process Of rebirth
that the Jaw which is the controlling fac
tor in mans life. continually adjusting
his environments. is known as Karms,
or the law OF ethical causation.
Theosophy teaches men and women TO
think properly; how to become master
of their own thoughts in such way as
10 mould character in its highest aspect.
Thoughts are things, and according to
the energy which we impsrt to them,
are we capable of influencing others for
good or evil, hence the necessity for
right thinking, apart from the moral
effects upon the thinker.
At the conclusion of the address
numerous questions were asked by those
in the audience.
Next Sunday evening Prof. F. H. Cav
alier will speak on True Education.

ARRESTED FOR FORGERY.
Detective. Insley Charges Albert Thur

Detective. Insley Charges Albert Thur
moud with tho Crime.
A man named Albert Thurmond was
arrested at the Terminal railway depot
on East First street yesterday afternoon n
by Detective Insley, on a charge of forg-
ing the name of Mr.. Howell of the firm
of Howell & Craig. He wrote bogus
$25 check and passed it upon an old
Frenchman.
When approached by Dste ctiye 1nsey,
Thurmond was seen 60 tear up a check
which he had forged in the presence OF
the ticket agent at ths depot. Upon
seeing InsleV ne remarked that he first
thought he you'd like to go to the peni-
tentiary, but had changed his mind and
would fool the smart detectives who
were camping on his trail" by destroy
ing the check.
Detective Insley took Thurmoad to
the polices, station and bookel him for
drunkenness, as he had no evidence
upon which conviction could be had
but later in the evening found where he
had Hwindled the Frenchman.

that ths night he WAS arrested by De-
tective Bowler of the Southern Pacific
and "Billy" Hammel he never talked
with his captors. They waylaid
him at the mouth of the Little
Tejunga cafIon while he was en- route
home from this city with his wife and
children. They took him from his
wagon and brought him to the city
prison, instead of locking him in the
county Jail, where his alleged confed
crates were This move was made for
the purpose OF obtaining a confession,
ora if the officers already had it, to
keep him from conversing with Com
stock and Thorne, who we're also ar
rested by Gard ON complaint of E. L.
Brown, San Fernando merchant.
Just what Brown knows and what he
doesn't know about the case will be
brought out at the examination at San
Fernando next Friday. These men will
be examined for committing the second
robbery at Roscoe.
Comstock, Thorne and Fitzsimmons,
together with the burglar John Shutter,
are charged by J. V. Brighton with
having committed the first robbery.
Brighton claims to have letters in his
possession which were written by Shutter
to Mrs. Chris Evans, in which some
damaging evidence against the writer
occurs. 1t is claimed that Chris Evans
planned the first robbery at Roscoe, and
engaged Shutter to do the job. Brighton
WAS soon after in POSSESSION OF Evans
house at Visalia, where he and his wife
resided until he betrayed the noted
bandit aud caussd his capture for the
last time. Brighton will, at the exam

THOSE ROSCOE TRAIN ROBBERS.
A RumOr That One of the Ar
rested Men Has Confessed.
The Prisoners Continue to Assert
Their Innocence.
The Evidence Which tho Ohloers Say
They Havs-The Letters to Mrs.
Evans IN BrIghton's Pos
session.

One OF the alleged trainrobbers now in
the county jail has made a confession.
Atlesst that is what the srresting off :
GERS will attempt to prove when the
case comes up for examination. They
say that one OF the men-presumably
Fl izsimmons-hasg given out enough evil
dence in the case to hold all of them to
answer TO the superior court.
Just what the alleged confession con-
ssts OF is only conjecture. 1t is be-
ieved by some that no incri minating
evidence has ever been given out by
either of the men, and that the attempts
to prove otherwise will fall fat.
Fitzsimmons has stated that he never
made a confession. and Furthermore

is the wagon, fac simile of which can
be found in every town and hamlet on
the coast, and the pacing dog that is
said to have followed its master, John
Comstock, to and from the scene OF the
robbery. They are held as evidence.
1t is claimed the men will be held to
answer to the superior court. If the
Officers succeed in thus holding them for
trial there is little doubt they will be
convicted. There is no doubt the sus-
poets are men of questionable charater
and unenviable regulations, and it is
these facts that aid to convince tine Off
cers that they are right.
A significant incident occurred yester-
day when Brighton sent come clothing
to Fitzsimmons at the county Jail. 1t
seems that the alleged robber asked to
have his clothing sent to him, aud
Brighton endeavored to accommodate
him. The Visalis bapdit-hunter sent
up what Fitzsimmons at first thought
was his clothing, but what turned out
otherwise. The accused man evidently
became suspicious, for he refused to
wear the clothing.

maintains that man mas risen
from lower. Philosophy teaches that
man has evolved from condition Of

orthodox theology teaches that man was
originally perfect, and through the wiles
OF the devil, or the serpent, was in
duced to eat the Lords winter apples,

elect will ever be able TO regain their
lost status. must say that nv sympa-
thies are decidedly on the side OF evolu

think 1t much better and more credita-
BILE to man to have originated us an ape,
and gradually to have developed to his
present standard, with the prospect of
going on up to angelhood, than for him
to have fallen at the fret trial, and then
lost all power to regain his lost estate.
Man is composite being, having
developed along diverse planeaswhich
may be clsHsed as the physical and the
moral. Primitive man was mostly
upon the physical plane, and
even the man OF today is still
too much in this condition; but he has,
after Rll, advanced far beyond the saw
age. The old Bible legend says that
God gave man. in his primitive perfec-
tion, dominion over the beast OF the
field but civilization has given him a
far greater dominion than this-that
over science, art, philosophy. This 10

"We now come to the last and highest
plane of human development-th
moral. This we may in turn divide into
three divisions. The first OF these is the
negative-I shall do no evil the second
is the positive-I will do good the third
is the altruistic. in which self is wholly
sunk out of sight and the whole life is
devoted to others"
at the beginning of the services a res
olution was adopted condemning Sheriff
Booth of San Bernardino, and Mr.. Bow

tion was adopted indorsing Senator
