WHY HE DECLINED.
Father Montgomery's Idea on the
RELIGIOUS Congress-.

The parliament of religions at the Midwinter
Fair will not have a representation from the
Catholic church in this city. 1t is not 10 be an
International congress OF leaders in religious
thought, but rather Il gathering OF dlVlnes on
the broad basis of liberality and humanity.
Already the Unitarian. Hebrew, Methodist,
Congregational, Presbyterian Baptist, EDisco-
palian and TbeoSophist denominations VIII par
ticlpate. Some divines from the Orient Will
also take part in the proceedings.
The task of making arrangements for the con-
gress, interesting cleTgymen in IL and gelting
promises of their cooperation devolyes mainly
on G. A. Murdoch, chairman of the committee
on the congress.
Mr.. MURDOCH wrote a request to Rev. George
Montgomery about ten days ago that he might
participate in the congress OF religions. II was
desired mat bis church be represented. Father
Montgomery sent In a long letter in reply. He
declined in very graceful language, expressing
the highest respect for the congress, while dit
fering from its organic RS as 10 the value OF the
movement. He believed there was nothing TO
gain by It,. But If the movement was something
Affecting decency or morals of the community
he would gladly take part IN the proceedings.
Mt. Murdoch sent communication to
Father Montgomery In which he further ex-
planned that there would be no controversy
nor arguments on theology. The proposition
was 10 bring forward the basis OF all religions
on which all agreed. If Father Montgomery
would for instance, read a practical paper on
the Relief of the Poor" or the treatment of
some moral question, he would satisfy the con-
gress.
In answer TO this letter Father Montgomery
wrote a day or TWO ago that he was unable to
do what he had hoped he might have done, that
Is, taking part in the Congress by presenting a
paper as requested.
Whether some other priest will take his
place with lecture or paper on a moral or
a social question is yet TO be ascertained.

East about a month ago, had a way all his own.
He would enter no Ell. glance over the register

Jackson would visit The room, ''siZe IL up" take
mental inventory of its contents, and later on

Semi Tropical Fruit Growers Proba.
bly, to Have a Separate Weather
Prophet of Their Own.

The United States Weather Bureau has been
extending the scope of its operations ON the
Pacific Coast very materially during the past
two years, the object being to increase the
public usefulness OF the department. The first
move was 10 establish a local forecast Office at
Portland. Then an Inspector recently an
pointed has been assigned to San Francisco
The next move will be to establish a separate
forecast Office at Los Angeles to call the turn
upon the weather in the southern counties of
the State.
Residents of the semi-tropical region have
felt themselves somewhat neglected by the
Weather Bureau. Forecasts made ato San
Francisco for Los Angeles, San Diego and
Riverside. In the varied climatic conditions OF
these several districts, are frequently difficult
predictions. Climate down there is such a
peculiar quantity that pror het located IN the
southern district Will naturally be able to make
better guesses at the prospec s for damage to
oranges by frost than an official 500 miles
distant.
The only stations in Southern California at
when weather observers are located are Los
Angeles and San Diego. All OF the citrus CEN
tiers, Riverside, Redlands, Ontario, Pomona
and San BerDardino, although representing
valuable fruit interests easily affected by ell
matte changes. have no observers. At the same
time many towns In the northern part OF the
State are Stations where temperatures, rainfall
and wind velocity are recorded and the data
sent TO the San Francisco Office 10 be con-
sldered III making the morning and evening
forecasts, although they have little bearing
upon storm movements or atmospheric changes.
RESIDENTS in the southern citrus belt have
been clamorlng for weather prophet of their
own for some lime. The Washington author.

officials for opinions as to the adyJsab,lity of

concludes by recommending that a branch oil

THE EVANS FAMILY.
Mother and Children to Reside in
San Francisco.

Mrs. Chris Evans will arrive to-day and will
be accompanied by her six children, and per-
haps her mother, Mrs. Byrde.
1t is Mrs. Evans intention to rent hou sc
here and make this her permanent home. She
does not want TO live in Visalia any more, for
she fears that her husband might visit her
there as he did when he was away before, and
might be captured.
Eva Evans Is IN town and has returned to
single blessedness. Her marriage with James
Evans, by contract, has been annulled, because
sfe was minor when she contracted il and
her mother hercely opposed it.
Miss Eva's reason for becoming single again
Is that she had made a serious mistake in be-
coming the contract bride of Jim Evans. The
latter was clerk in the Fresno Hotel when
they pllahted their trOth. soon after lie gave
up his place, deciding that Eva could make
enough on the stage for both OF them. She did
support him SO Tor while, but by the advice
OF friends d. clded 10 separate from him.
The bltterest feeling has existed of late be-
tween the Evans family and that OF Perry
ByIde's, Mrs. Evans brother. Byrde is con-
stable and Mrs. Evans asserts that he gave in
formation by which Evans was captured.

A miniature fire started in the Southern
California building yesterday morning,
and for few minutes threatened to de-
velop into a matured conflagration. A
few buckets of water and some tall sprint
ing on the part of the frightened corps of
managers of the several counties installing
exhibits in the building saved the pretty
structure without the necessity of calling
out the Midwin ter Fire Brigade.
The trouble commenced in the Office
where log was blazing on an open hearth.
The wall of the chimney was defective.

wounded Mr. Hodge very severely with
pistol ball, and also as having In the
same ARRAY wounded MIR. c. w. Davis
gave himself up TO Mr.. Peyton, the
ATTORNEY for the Commonwealth, and
claimed the reward of 500 that Governor
Mckinney had offered for him soon after
he committed this crime in September,
1898. but ne seemed to be very much
changed when he heard the reward was
given by his ExceIency on the conditions
that he should be convicted and sent to
the penitentiary. Now Mr.. Ross does
not want the reward.
Mr. Burk Hill was waylaid by some
