THE LAW OF LIFE.
The Rev. A. G. H1rst Hreaches
Sermon on the Duty OF
Man.

The Rev. A. C. Hirst preached on line
Law of Life" to very large congregation
in Simpson Memorial NJ. b. Churcn
Sunday night. He spoke of the lie we
live and said that what we have to accom-
plish in limited space of time should be ac-
complished to the glory of God. Speaking
of the Bible he said that 1t laid down
fundamental principles that apply to all
conditions and climes. That the law
makers in their efforts TO circumyent law
breakers had prepared so many laws, TOO
many, and as result there was CONFUSION
by the law, and that there are too many
laws was probably the reason. Why, there
are thirty eight murderers in the Jalls OF
this county who have not had justice dealt
out to them. He said that in al! stations
in life, in all business, man should carry
his religion with him and that whatever
he did he should do in the glory OF the
Lord.
Speaking of the coming woman he said
that she had been held in the background
but that now was her opportunity to show
what she can do. He said it would be
charged that she was coming with the bal
lot in her hand. She came, he said, with
the ballot to teach men how to use it. Ad-
dressing the young women of his congre-
CATION he said that it was in their power to
change the social relations so that young
manhood would come to them only In
social purity. He declared that San Fran
cisco is not city of homes, and lacks that
refining influence that is found in the home
circle, but he expressed the hope that the
time will soon come when it will be what
it should be, city of homes.

HISTORY OF THE CASE.
One of HaIIer's Letters Fell Into the
Hands of the French.

One or HuUeI'6 Letters Feu INTO me
Hands of the French.
PARIS, FRANCE, April GA correspond
ent of the Temps at Tamatave, island of
Madagascar, states that John 7. Waller,
formerly United States Consul, was in
dicted on two charges, namely, violation
of the order of the French Admiralty gov
erning correspondence, and, secondly, the
writing to an enemy. The evidence, the
correspondent adds, showed that Waller
intrusted an officer of the steamboat with a
bulky letter, which was posted at Natal,
addressed to IN. Tescer, merchant, Anita
nanarivo, via Vatomandry." Unfortunately
it appears the English mail was dropped at
Vatomandry, but was landed at Tamatave,
| where the envelope attracted the attention
of the authorities, who opened it and found
that it contained particulars regarding the
strength of the French garrison, number
of the sick, importance OF the outposts,
etc.; also an Enclosure addressed to Wal
ler's friend, E. Underwood Harvey, editor
of the Madagascar News, asking him to
insert it in that paper.
This Enclosure, it is stated, contained
abominable calumnies regarding the con-
duct of French soldiers in Madagascar and
denounced two of Walters com patriots
honorable American merchants, who were
going to Antananarivo as spies in pay of
France The trial of Waller lasted only
3A hours. Waller appealed. but the sem
tence was affirmed.
According to the correspondent of lie
Temps, it was the son-in-law of Waller,
Paul Bray a native of Texas, and not his
nephew, who accompanied him on board
the steamer Diemnah. Bray was expelled
from Madagascar for constant hostility to
the French authorities and troops and for
completely with his father-in-law in COM
municating with the enemy. He was
handed over to the American Consul at

Chinese.
Fully 300 Chinese opium-smokers, rep
resenting New England, assembled them
selves at "a Oxford street for the purpose
OF finding ways to stop the Quinn bill,
which is now pending before the General
Assembly, says the Boston Herald.
The meeting commenced ar o'clock and
lasted until after midnight. Every mem
Der seemed to be talking at the same time,
and consequently there seemed TO be more
speakers than listeners.
Resolutions were passed that petition
be sent to the Assembly asking that If
Mr.. Quinn wanted bill TO pass against
the smoking OF opium, an exception be
made in favor of the Chinese communities.
There is no man under Gods creation
that knows the hardships which smokers
endure" said one of the delegates from
Hartford. IF Mr.. Quinn is an intelligent
and free-minded gentleman he should take
conscientious consideration before he made
such a law as would stop a smoker from
smoking when the smoker has had the
habit for thirty long years"
I'VE are bound to smoke, anyhow,
whether we have the right or take it for
granted. f" said another smoker from Provi-
dence r. l. 1--WE committed the sin be-
fore the law was made and we are COM
PEELED to sin after the law is made We
must either sin or we must stop living"
The most interesting remarks through
out the meeting were made by Ii Sam,
who came to the convention as repre-
sentative from New Bedford. He said
People who do not smoke will

FAVORED BY DEMOCRATS.
They Wish to Redeem Their
Party While There Is
Yet Time.
MUST DECLARE FOR SILVER.
Urged On to Action by the Growth of
Sentiment in Favor of the
White Metal.

WASHINGTON. D. c., April 22.-Great
pressure is again brought to bear on Presi-
dent Cleveland toward securing an extra
session of Congress. These attempts have
occurred spasmodically ever since adjourn
ment, but now there is a steady pressure,
coupled with a unanimity of purpose by
the Democrats.
When Congress adjourned, less than
eight weeks ago, the preponderance OF opin-
ion among Democratic leaders throughout
the country was adverse to calling an
extra session. The argument was adj
vanced that such action would not only
proclaim, but practically acknowledge the
utter incompetency of the Fifty-third
Congress and its virtual ineapacity to
enact financial legislation. 1t was then
believed that a special converting Of Con-
gress would stultify every possibility Of
Democratic success in the next national
campaign, and the prediction was freely
made that the party's return to power
would be retarded.
But that sentiment has changed, and
a large proportion of the party leaders, es-
pecially among active politicians, are now
of the opinion that their political salvation
largely depends on the early calling of an
extraordinary session. These leaders,
after mlngling with their constituents in
various sections of the country, reached
the conclusion that nothing but prompt
and decisive action would give the party
even a fighting chance two years hence.
The reason for this sudden and unex-
pected change of sentiment is found in the
fact that since adjournment the free silver
agitation has grown up like Jonah's gourd
vine. Those in the Democratic ranks who
advocate free silver are seized with an ire
pressible desire to commit the party to
that doctrine Illinois took the initiative
in calling a convention TO determine the
party's attitude on the subject. Missouri
and Pennsylvania are struggling to follow
this example Minnesota and Indiana are
on the verge of an outbreak The Legisla-
ture Of Tennessee has declared for bimet-
allism. Other States are beginning to feel
the infection of the tree-silyer epidemic
The Democrats urge that an extra session
would place the Republicans in the atti-
tude of incompetency and imbecllity now
ascribed to the Democrats OF the Fifty
third Congress. The result would be, it is
urged, a division OF the Republicans into
factions. The Democrats would have
nothing to lose and might be greatly bene-
fitted by the internal dissension in ranks Of
their rivals.
These arguments are now being daily
laid before President Cleveland by resident
and visiting Democratic leaders, who urge
the great party advantage to be gained by
calling upon the Fifty-fourth Congress to
make necessary alterations in the present
financial system.

MANACLED ABOARD SHIP.
Not Allowed to Communicate
With Any of His Friends
or Write Letters.
HE IS TO 90 TO CORSICA
His Trial Lasted Less Than Three
Hours, as the Evidence Was
Conclusive.

MARSEILLES, FRANCE, April 22.-The
case of John L. Waller, formerly United
States Consul at Tamatave, Madagascar,
recently sentenced by the French court
martial to imprisonment for twenty years,
and who arrived here Saturday on board
the steamer Djemnah, is attracting con-
siderable attention, N view OF the fact that
it had been announced that the United
States ambassador has been instructed to
inquire into the matter.
Waller was manacled while on board the
Djemnah, but was allowed to take two
hours exercise daily on deck, guarded by
a soldier.
Upon his arrival here he was lodged in
jail, and it is reported that he will even
tually be imprisoned on the island of
Corsica. During the voyage Waller fire.

When before the court-martial Waller, it
is claimed, refused TO speak in French and
the services of an interpreter had to be
employed.
Walters nephew, % years of age, is said
to be implicated in the proceedings which
led to his uncle's condemnation, and was
condemned to expulsion from Madagas-
car. He embarked as a second-class pas
senger on the Djemnah, but landed at
Zanzibar without having been able to COM

LONDON MARKETS.
Cheap Honey Has Caused Boom in
Gilt EdQed Securities.

LONDON, Enc, April 22.-The stock
market opened briskly after the holidays,
but the conclusion of peace between China
and Japan did little to sustain the market.
The volume of business during the week
was moderate. Fears as to possible Euro
pean complications arising from the Japa-
nese demand and the prospect of Japan
proving successful competitor with Eu-
rope for the trade of China caused feel
ing of uncertainty On the whole, how
ever, the tendency was rather upward.
The cheapness of money induced renewed
buying of gilt-edged securities.
The mining share market was inactive,
but irregular. American railroad securi-
ties attracted plenty of attention, PresidenG
Cleveland's letter encouraging the buying
of good bonds. The advances were: Lake
Shore, a Milwaukee, Illinois Central and
Reading firsts, each ~; Wabash skies, 81;
Atchison tours, Denver pfd., Erie, North
ern Pacific, and Norfolk and Western, and
Union Pacific and Wabash pfd., IL. The
others advanced fractionally.

He WAS TIRED OF LIVING,
G.. E. Haynes Poisoned Himself
in Golden Gate Park
Yesterday.
Deaths SWelled the Morgue
List,

A suicide, an accidental death, and two
sudden deaths formed the record at the
Morgue yesterday.
The suicide was G. e. Haynes. He was
found in the park with partly emptied
bottle of chloroform, another of crysta-
ized ammonia, and two others, the con-
tents of which will not be known until q
chemical analysis has been made.
The deceased was young man. fairly
we'll dressed, and was, according to the
Coroner's deputies, q manufacturing
dentist. On the back of an Omnibus
saloon card, SO Third street, he left the
following note:
To tchom it may concern: DR.. r. Fl. Cool is in
debted to me more than 5000 for wages due.
his own hand. My account will be found at
No. 33 Third street (Sandersfeld) by any one
who cares TO investigate. l am discouraged
and hungry. HAYNES.
The note was dated ahead of time, so
Haynes must have come to the conclusion
to hurry up events.
The suicide used to frequent saloon at
80 Third street, but he did not drink
much, and always paid for what little he
to- He was in the saloon yesterday at
noon, and when leaving said he would
probably never return. He was very
respondent at times, and was particularly
so Yesterday over his inability to obtain
lucrative employment. Up to a short
time ago he worked in the Office of DR..
Brush, a dentist, but his pay was not
large, nor was his position permanent
one.
In the saloon Haynes sometimes spoke
of an uncle of his name who worked in
the United States Mint, but he used to saw
his relative was rich and he would not,
while in his impecuious condition. 1t was
suspected that Haynes was addicted to the
use of morphine and if this is so it in
great measure explains his fits of despond-
ency. He was a native of the State of
Maine, where he has relatives.
Michael Waters was the accidental death
He was an Irishman, 40 years of age, and
lived at the corner of Sixteenth and Harri-
son. He was employed as teamster by
Kelso & Co., and was at their quarry, on
the corner of Church and Hancock streets.
Yesterday morning. When the wagon was
filled Waters mounted his seat, but the
horses started off before he was ready
Losing his balance, he fell to the ground
and the wheels passed over his head,
crushing it to pulp. Death was instan-
taneous.
Henry la Sage, an Englishman, IS years
of age, was found dead in his bed at 116
Leidesdorff street yesterday. He retired
as usual last Sunday night, and when he
did not get up as usual the following morn
ing his room was forced open. Death is
supposed to be due to natural causes.
Felix Corona, Mexican, aged 36 years,
dropped dead in the hallway of the house
at 1918 Dupont street. He was walking to-
ward his room when he was seen to stagger
and fall. Death is supposed to have been
caused by disease of the heart. There have
been so many murders, suicides and acct
dental and sudden deaths of late that the
Coroner's deputies are worked to death

quests.

Attorney McEnerney said he was totally
opposed to the whole scheme, and con-
tended he had proved the defendant guilty

The Judge denied the motion to dismiss.

"That Puts It on Me.

Daniel Hughes, colored, was before JUS
tice Schenkl for assaulting his father, Ed
ward Hughes, says the Baltimore Sun.
The elder Hughes appeared before the
Justice with his head bandaged. The son
began to explain how he had come to
strike his father with brick. The Justice
cut this explanation short and told the
father to give his version OF the affair,
which he proceeded to do, winding up his
testimony with an appeal to the Justice to
"put it on the boy"
Turning to his father the son begged that
he might not be sent to jail, The elder
Hughes was obdurate, and said he would
not ask the Justice for mercy. As last
resort the son said he did not want to go to
Jail as his family would suffer.
Slowly turning to the Justice the father
said:
'That's true, Judge. If he goes to Jail
am the one who will suffer, for will have
to support his wife and children, besides
feeling the hurt of my head, and will ask
you not to be too severe on him."
The Justice imposed fine of 81 and costs,
which the son was unable to pay, and he
was therefore sent to jail. AS the sentence
was delivered the old man shook his head
sadly and said, s'That puts it on me.n
