TO ADVERTISE RS.

Religious topics OF interest 10 the state
lust now are that DR.. Il. NJ. S%hanafelt,
gu perintendent of South Dakota Baptist
missions, has gone to the Black Hills to
visit churches in that section; he will at
tend the meeting OF the Black Hills Bap-
fist association in deadwood before re-
turning home. And that the Central
Dakota Presbytery has accepted the
resignation of Rev. A. Y. McGogney as
pastor of the First Presbyterian church
here, and his relations to this church and
presbytery are dissolved. He was re-
commended to the Presbytery OF Sioux

Shall we make the law and enforce it?

The Milbank Herald Advance of Au

The Milbank Herald Advance OF Au.
gust l6, publishes an account Of a terri
Die tragedy caused by strong drink.
Dr.. Whitford OF Wllmot, crazed by
liquor, murdered his wife and then
killed himself. Referring to the sad az
fair, the Herald Advance says:
"The man whose life vent out in q
saturnalia of crime last Sunday, we had
known in better days, before the instia-
BILE thirst that destroyed him had entire
ly eaten out his moral life, and we knew
him as a law-abiding citizen, kindly dis
posed, genial, companionable and full Of
good fello -ship, a physician Of consider
able ability and success, and Of prepos
sessing appearance and Mar.
ried to a refined and amiable woman,
who chung to him through all the sad
mistake OF his life with a devotion such
AS only women show in like cases, when
devotion mean constant misery and a
bl,ghted life-and in her case it proved
a violent death at the hands of the one
for whom she had made her own exist
ence a living sacrifice. With many quail
tiles of head and heart more than that
vouchsafed to the ordinary man, there is
no reason why his life should not have
been a Comparatively happy and honor
able one, except for the demon drink
that has brought destruction to 50 many
others who have had fair promise in life
but have made shipwreck on the same
rock. While this particular case comes
to us with peculiar force because of its
closeness to our surroundings, it is but
one Of the hundreds of similar occur.
rences that are constantly being enacted
all over the land, and which have been
written on almost every page of the his
tory of the race as the result of the ter.
rible drink habit. 1t needs no philoso.
pher or preacher to point out the moral
which the awful affair presents. To the
young man particularly it can we'll be
received as a picture that words are toe
feeble to frame into language, and which
should certainly prove a warning siguaI
Of the danger attendant upon this blast
ing evil"
The Herald Advance might we'll have
added that this instance ought also te
be a warning to fathers to remove the
temptation to drink from their sons, -ae
we'll az from their "weak brothers, who
like this man, have lost the power Of
self.control. 1t ought also to be q warn
ing to officials who permit lawbreakers
to sell the poisoned draft that units for
citizenship.

The American Woman.

The American woman is taking pos
session of new fields of thought, duty
and service. She is taking a place in
the community which she never held be-
fore. She is restless and aspiring. She
wants to be, to know and to do more
than ever. She docs not, like the fore
mothers, acknowledge her infcriority,
Or her subordinaLiOn, or anything of the
kind. Though she possess her best rights
already, she claims that there arc other
rights which she oaght to get in short
order. She takes hold of politics with
out fear she often makes public speech
es; she goes into lots Of kinds Of bust
ness on her own hook she enters the
medical profession, as we were remind
ed nee more this geek, when the great
degree Of doctor of medicine was con
ferred upon 25 young women wearing
shovel hats and black silk gowns she
earns her money at many a trade which
formerly was the exclusive property of
her brethren; she strikes out for a larger
measure of Independence; she rides the
bicycle as we'll as anybody; she joins a
club; she is not at all alarmed ut the
sight of a man she often carves the
roast at dinner and serves the timid fell
lows who sit at the other side of the ia
BILE; she has given evidence that she can
preach, practice law, or run q newspa-
per, or write any number of books; she
plays ON the stage a hundred times oft
ener than the of the old stock;
she is all Office hunter, especially when
reform is up, and VIC may almost say
that what she cannot do is hardly worth

Falls Press,

Sioux Falls Press, %: The
war which broke out so suddenly
between the veterinary surgeons Of this
city and DR.. Palmer OF Parker, the state
veterinarian, over a team OF alleged
glandered>horses owned by A. J. Losing
OF Sioux Falls, has quieted down, but
left its impression on the minds OF some
to such a degree AS to render them
curious to know whether the state
veterinarian possessed a diploma. 1t was
charged by the local veterinarians that
he was without such a document. Tom
Smith was ut DR.. Palmer's house the
other day and asked to see his diploma.
1t was brought forth. 1t was issued to
DR.. Palmer by the Royal Veterinary col
lege at Camdentown, London, England,
on April 5, 1857, comforting the degree of
doctor OF veterinary science.

A Novel Domestic Ouarrel.

Over in New Jersey a woman has
taken to wearing bright red bloomers
when she goes u riding upon her bicy-
Gle. Her husband objects both to the
pattern and to the color of her clothes,

with a view to taking legal action to
restrain her from dressing in so objec-

Two men Of Aberdeen, S. d., John II.
Ronayre a Mail agent, and j. w. Barr, a
railroad man, made the discovery over a
year ago OF a process of welding steel

discovery. Their experiments have been
submitted to the test Of eminent scien-
tests and found genuine. But now, they

Pioneer Press, p: II the plan for
abandoning the transfer system for
ministers OF the Methodist Episcopal,
church Is carried through. next year
and present indications seem to point TO
that, the character OF the denomination
Will be considerably changed. The GUS
tom OF changing ministers from place to
place every few years has long been one
Of the distinguishing characteristics of
hhe methodist church. The change will
probably be to the advantage Of both
church and minister, for the periodical
moving is frequently a hardship to a
man with a family, especially where the
attachment between people and pastor
is a strong one.

MARTHA, TIE vIVANDIERE.
Peruvian Cities Sound the Praises Of .
Patriotic Woman.

Peruvian Cities Sound the Praises Of .
Patriotic Woman.
Lima and ali Peruvian towns arc filled
with the sound Of the praises Of Martha,
the vivandiere. or Martha La Cantine-
IA, rs the people call her.
Martha is a wOulan perhaps 30 years
old. Of Indian blood, rather tall for one
of her descent and handsome rather
than otherwise. She accompanied the
division of the coalition army under the
command of Colonel Philip Ore.
From first to last, since Colonel Ore
encamped in Lurin, about 20 miles from
Lima, Martha, in a brilliant uniform
and mounted on IL splendid horse, was
always to be seen when fighting was 60
ing on, sometimes at the front urging
on the soldiers, at others at the rear,
assisting the wounded.
At the taking of Chorrillos and in
the attack on Lima, on March II last,
Martha by her example encouraged the
soldiers Of Colonel Ores division and
led them to the attack. During the fierce
fighting at the entrance to Lima Martha
was NouAucu III VIC TlRIlt lOOt.
Martha mortgaged a small house she
owns in Callao, and when the coalition
forces commenced what was virtually
the siege Of Lima she employed her lit
tie fund in the purchase Of revolvers
and other articles, which she managed
to smuggle out with her when she went
to join Colonel Ores division as a vi
vandiere. New York Herald.

The cattle With Flies,

Housekeepers are always glad Of any
conquer those enemies Of their summers
peace-lies. Here are two items which
experienced has proved to be of use in the
battle.
We oil know how flies settle upon a
screen door in rainy weather or those Of
the kitchen in any weather, waiting for
an opportunity to step in as o a it is
opened If cloth dipped in kerosene is
rubbed over the outer side Of the wire
and frame Of the screen, the flies will
not settle upon it. They do not like kero-
sene. One application will usually
prove effectual for several days.
The other agent-oil Of lavender-is
for the purpose Of disposing of such of
the enemy as have already gained an
entrance to the house.
Darker all the windows but one. The
flies will o congregate on that, for
flies enjoy the sunshine as we'll as moths
detest 1t. Now with an atomizer spray
the window casing with the oil Of Law
ender and either leave the open bottle
upon the sill or saturate a small cloth
with so1ne Of 1t. Some Of the flies will
soon become stupefied and then can be
brushed down and disposed Of. II an
| atomizer is not at hand, rub the casing
with the saturated cloth. It is also q
good plan to rub the oil all over any
place that the flies like to light upon. A
hanging lamp has often q great attrac.
ton for them. but if shade and chains
arc rubbed over with the oil they will
J not light upon it. :

The inmates of the California Girls
Training Home gave bazaar for the
benefit of the institution yesterday. The
proceeds will form goodly nucleus for the
fund to be used for the erection of a build

home by Mayor Sutro.

Articles of fancy work as we'll as those of
more substantial use were arranged in a
tasteful way for sale as holiday gifts.
Modest-looking girls, wearing dainty caps
OF their own manufacture, were in charg e
of various departments, and their zeal and
pleasure in this, their first genuine useful
ness in the worlds big workshop, was a
pleasing sight.
The rooms at 26 Hill street presented a
cheerful spectacle yesterday afternoon and
last evening, and as much ingenuity and
taste were shown in the preparation and
arrangement of the articles as may be
seen at any of the numerous church fairs.
The growing interest in the work of the

generous patronage of yesterdays bazaar.
Crowds of ladies filled the rooms all after
noon and evening, and admiration for the
handiwork of the girls was expressed on

SMITHS SURPRISE PARTY.
Many Heavy Judgments Against
His Road in His Alb.
Sence.
Another Damage Suit Against the
Southern Pacific for Neg.
ligence.
OAKLAND OFFICE SAN Francisco CALI
908 Broadway, Dec. 19.

The Supreme Court is arranging surprise
party for f. NJ. Smith, the principal owner
of the Oakland Consolidated roads. A few
days ago the court sustained the Judgment
of the lower court for SID, 600 damages for
the death of Mrs. H. A. Redfeld. This
was the largest judgment for death ever
awarded by a jury in Alameda County,
and it was thought it would be declared
excessive; but judgment was anlrmed for
the entire amount.
Yesterday the damages awarded Mrs.
Howlands by jury, amounting to $4,000,
was onfirmed by the Supreme Court.
This was a case for injuries only sustained
because of collision between the Adeline-
street horsecar and Berkeley electric car
This is a total of $24 900 that must be paid
within ninety days unless a rehearing be
granted. AS the decisions knock out every
point in the appeal i is not considered
likely that any hearing will be granted.
There are also judgments onappeal against
the same company for $l700 for 81. A. Red
field, for $4,000 for the killing of little Lorin
Fox on Franklin street, for $4,000 for Mr.
Howland for loss of his wife's services,
making a total of $50, 700 for F. NJ. Smith
to dispose OF when be returns from
Europe.
To-day another case for damages was
commenced against the Southern Pacific
Company. The suit was brought by
Robert ?. Jansen, who asked for $50, 900 for
injuries received in September of last year
in Alameda. Jansen boarded a train at
Encinal station. He was aiighting and
was knocked down by train coming from
the opposite direction. He was struck by
the train and his right leg was broken ard
his skull fractured.
General w. H. L. Barnes appeared for
the railroad company and D. NJ. Delmas,
OF the firm of Delmas & Shoruridge, for
the plaintiff. Jansen claims that his in
juries were due to negligence, and besides
telling his own story, expert testimony
was introduced to show that the train that
caused the injuries could have been
stopped in time had it not been going at
an excessive rate of speed. The case will
go on to- morrow morning.

TIE BUFORD CHRISTMAS.
How the Little Ones in the South San
Francisco kindergarten Enjoyed
Themselves.

The eighty little men and woman who
constitute the Buford Free kindergarten,
at Railroad and Fifteenth avenues, re-
joiced over Christmas tree in the big,
cheerful kindergarten room in South San
Francisco yesterday.
Tea-sets and paper dolls for the girls,
picture books and paints for the boys, and
candy and nuts for all were taken from the
tree and distributed after it had been suffi-
ciently admired as a dazzling whole.
Master Johnnie McAvoy, in behalf of the
kindergarten, presented Mrs. j. B. Garniss
a picture of the school. An hour was
spent in kindergarten games, and it was a
question which enjoyed them the more,
the small participants or the 200 specta-
tors.
The board of managers and many of the
parents whose children are attendants at
the kindergarten were present. The
vacation will continue throughout the
holidays, the kindergarten opening again
two weeks from Monday.
The Buford Free Kindergarten is one of
the Oldest in the City. 1t was organized
about twelve wears ago under the auspices
of ST. Lukes Episcopal Church, but year
later passed into non-sectarian control.
Almost since its inception, when it was
