Judge Levy Decides That the Judg.

In Judge Levy's court yesterday for the
purpose of adjusting whs: little differ.
ences had arisen from the recent de-
Co. VS.. John kreling.
Tie suit was one for royalties on operas
produced at the Tivoli Opera-house, and
judgment was given by Judge Levy the
other day on the motion of Attorney
Tuska, owing to the fact that Lowenthal,
who was the attorney of record in the ease,
did not appear TO defend the suit. j. ID.
Su llivan, VINO now represents John Krel-
ing in legal matters, waxed exceeding
wrOth at this proceeding and denounced
the whole thing as job. He said that
Lowenthal had forfeited the case on pur-
pose, and that Tuska, on whose motion the
Judgment was given. was a friend of
Lowepthal.
Accordingly the matter came up yester-
day in the form of motion to set aside
the judgment. Tuska had his say, in
which he stated that under the circum-
stances no other course had been open to
him, and he filed an affidavit showing that
he had sent due notice TO both Lowenthal
and MCGOWAN. Kreling's attorneys at the
time, OF the action being set for trial. II
was also published in the Law Journal.
On his part L0wenthal had TO say that
ne was compelled to retire from his posi-
ton as legal adviser 10 John Kreling by
reason of the latter's behavior 10 him. He
asked the court and attorneys present how
they could expect man TO do his duty as
AN attorney by a client who never met
him or passed him in the street without
calling him vile names. 1t was not to be
thought OF for moment. So he had In

left 1t to him to look after the interests OF
John KEELING.
All parties took the witness-stand. and
were put through their faciugs by j. d.
sullivan. and finally the matter was sub.
United to the court. Judge Levy at once
ex0nerated all parties from blame. but he.
ing convinced that the case had gone BY
default owing to a mistake he would SCI
aside the judgment aud order the action Il

THE TRUE CHURCH.
Bishop Keane's Closing Sermon.
The Last of the Series.

The Last of the Series.
The aisles. pews, corridors, galleries, altar
aisle and every available space in st. Mary s
Cathedral were filled Friday night with people
eager to hear the last sermon of the series
Which Bishop Keane has been delivering since
Sunday last. The theme for the evening was
"Tbe Foundation, History, Present and Pros.
pective Position of the Church." The text, or
word of authority. was read from the sixteenth
chapter of ST. Matthew, wherein Jesus calls ST.
Peter the rock upon which he shall build his
church.
The preceding sermon had told of Jesus
command 10 the apostles TO carry his mission
10 all nations and through all generations,
which meant the diffusion of the Christian
church. The sermon of last evening was TO
show how the Savior had planned as well to
concentrate ana bind into homogeneous unity
all the elements over which the new religion
was to be spread. To accomplish this he Sc
lected from among his apostles Peter and gave
unto him the keys of heaven. Yes, gave Them
unto him individually, for he says: Unto thee
shall be given the keys
The apostle Paul was 10 represent the CEN
tritugal force OF Chrsps mission on earth, the
apostle Peter 10 represent The centfipetaI.
Jesus expected that the life OF the church
would be exactly like his own. People would
misunderstood il and misuse il, as they really
aid In subsequent history. But in the end it
would triumph over all, as it had done at stated
intervals In the past-at the sack of Jerusalem
aud at the triumph of Constantine. The Jews,
destined by God TO live forever, are eternal tes-
timony OF the triumph OF The cause of Jesus,
because in the old books which they strive TO
keep alive they bear witness TO the antiquity of
GODS plan or redemption as revealed in the
prophecies"
Incidentally Bishop Keane expressed the be-
lief that liz the course OF time The Jews would
become believers in Christ, and the hope that
he would live 10 see The time, not lar distant.

A Womau,s plea.

Mary Smith. a book agent, was taken
before Judge Conlan yesterday on the
charge of having lottery tickets in her
possession. 1t was shown that some agent
had induced her to take the tickets to sell,
telling her a fortune was to be made in
the business. The woman made a pitiful
plea 10 the court, saying that she did not
know she was violating the law and PROM
ised if released not to offend again, but the
Judge imposed fine of $40 or ten days in
Jail. He suspended sentence Till to-mor-

MEXICO, so it is rumored, is con sidering the expediency of adopt ing retaliatory measures against the United States, England and oth- CT anti-silver countries. The plan is to effect a combination with Cen tral and South American countries and increase import duties 25 per cent. If the United States were to join this movement, and establish a uniform ratio of coinage between the two metals, European countries would be forced to recognize silver as a legal tender.

The indictment of forty ladies and gentlemen of Platte City. Mo-, for playing euchre is a specimen of the intolerance that leads to the formation of white cap societies and similar devices for wreaking petty revenges in rural communities. If a preacher is at the bottom of this childish persecution he should be driven out of his pulpit and blacklisted as dangerous mischief maker. To indict people for play ing euchre is akin to reviving that old Connecticut blue law which made it an offence for a man to kiss his wife in a public place.-S. F. Chronicle.

The name Arizona" is from a beautiful old Aztec tradition which teaches that the earth is the off. spring of the sky; that, long prior to the present race of men, the earth was peopled by a race of gi- ants, who in time died off, leaving the earth uninhabited. After a long time, celestial virgin, child of one of the thirteen great deities who ruled all things, came down to the earth, and being we'll pleased, remained for long time it's sole occupant. Once when in deep sleep, a drop of dew from heaven fell up on her and she bore two children, a son and daughter, from whom have sprung all the people of the earth. The name of this celestial virgin was Arizuna, "the beautiful, or son-beloved maiden"

A Washington dispatch of last Wednesday is to the effect that ob- servations are to be made simulta- neously at Washington and at Manila, in the Philippine Island, which is almost directly opposite Washington on the other side of the globe, to see what is the matter with the axes of our planet. Ob- servatlons show that for some time the earth has not been revolving or that important, if imaginary sup port, as she has done for centuries, and scientists have decided that it is time to find out if possible what it all means. Those who have studied the subject declare that if the variations continue, in the course of some very long and very indefinite period, we shall have an arctic climate at Washington, and the latitude of every place on the globe will be changed, and our geo. graphies will be useless. An equa- torial telescope has been finished and sent out to Manila, and before long diligent inquiry will be made into the why's and wherefores of the peculiar performance of old mother earth. While one set of scientists is trying to find out about the axes, another party is endeavoring to find out why the mangnetic needle varies 90, as these variations of the needle affect not only the mariner, but real estate owners, and in large cities where every foot is valuable, this is not to be overlooked. These latter observations are being made by the geodetic and coast survey, and will not be completed for sev- eral years.

The foreign trade of Mexico is at a very low ebb, and importations that are paid in gold or in depre- ciated silver dollars, are greatly di- unfinished, while the demand for certain lines of European foreign goods has continued, prices of all such commodities having reached apoirt beyond the purse and means of the Mexican consumers, enter prising citizens have embarked in numerous industries, and are now producing many articles heretofore obtained from the workshops and factories of foreign nations. Thus it would seem that England and Germany's crusade against the white metal will react violently against their own commercial inter- ests-Bullion.
