A NEW PHILOSOPHY
Rev. Lauer Tells Of Recent Discoveries About
the Brain

the Brain
Pasadena, Feb. 23.-The first of a cries
of lectures upon the New Philosophy of
the Mind was delivered in G. A. r. Hall
last evening by Rev. Solon Lauer. A
large audience was present, and the at
tention of all was closely held during the
entire lecture, which was a scholarly eff
fort in every respect. The speaker held
that the old ideas in regard to the mind
and its limitations were fast passing
away. Recent research into the higher
phenomena of mind has shown that it's
power and scope may not be measured by
the old standards.
The mind is being considered by the
leading thinkers::o the day as energy it's
phenomena obeying the known laws OF
other forms of energy. Thought trans
mission alone, which has made such rapid
advance during the past few years, trans
cends the limits of the old psychology
and demands better theory of mind.
All material form has come out of the
invisible and, according to science, will
again return to the invisible. The body
of man is but a mans presentation Of
the mind and as such is under its con-
troll. Recent experiments in France and
Germany by physicians in the treatment
OF disease by suggestion, has met with
wide field for investigation.
Under all the conflicting theories as to
mind cure there lies natural law which
is susceptible of investigation and scien-
titic statement.
The lecture will be continued on Friday
evening next at the same place. Rev.
ticular branch of thought and has pub
lished number of works upon it, The
latest is Life and Light From Above. Lee

SAN BERNARDINO
The Auctioneer Ordinance Passed-1ore
Iniunctions


San Bernardino, Feb. 22-Today has
been generally observed as a holiday in
this city. The courts county offices, city
offices, schools newspapers and business
houses in general have suspended for the
day, and are quietly celebrating. Flags
are displayed from public buildings and
schools in honor of the holiday
No elaborate celebration has been
planned for the day, but numerous small
soical gatherings are reported, as well as
sports of various kinds, and in the even
ing the assembly ball. given by the ladies
of Unity Guild, promises to be largely at
tended at the Armory.
Revivals seem to be epidemic in this
town. Rev. S. Hartwell Pratt closed
three-weeks' campaign last Sunday, in
which four children were united. Three
days before he finished Evangelist G. H.
Yatman opened in the First Methodist
Episcopal Church, and now it is an
nounced that Rev. S. Nj. Martin, the
evangelist who gave the town such shak-
ing up year ago, will return and hold
forth in the pavilion, beginning March 9th.
This makes protracted meeting of
something like two months duration.
The Citizens Union has called mass
convention for Thursday night, February
9th, at Unity. Hall, for the. purpose Of
ing municipal elections. Ward con-
ventions in the Third and Fifth wards are
called for Wednesday night, February
26th. The Third ward convention will
meet at the Metcalfe school house, while
the Fifth ward will assemble at Mt. Ver-
non school house.
The Citizens Union met again last
night at Unity Hall and decided on these
conventions, and among other items of
business which were transacted seventy
five new members were received into the
union. This places the list of mem bership
at something over 200.
Among other matters which came up
for consideration, the union discussed
the proposition of being represented in the
campaign by paper, which should be
was finally referred to the executive COM
mittee, which will meet tonight and go
over the matter carefully. If thought adj
visable, newspaper may be published
during the campaign, to be known as the
organ of the union.
The Board of City Trustees passed the
auction license ordinance, putting the tax
at $25 quarter. This promises to settle
a question which has been an unfailing
source of disagreement, and already three
auction sales are announced for tomorrow.
Two more injunction suits were filed
yesterday in the East Riverside Irrigation
District cases, whereby the collector for
the district is sought to be restrained from
making the final transfer of property sold
for taxes. Obed Barnard filed a COM
plant in the Clerks Office in this city,
and H. W. Robinson began suit in Riv-
erside county. The amount of the delin-
quent taxes in the first named suit is $1,000,
and about 500 in the latter.

Inspected-News Notes and
Personal Mention

Pasadena, Feb. 23.-The charter has
gone the way of many bad and some good
things. The document which was pro-
duced by the board of fifteen freeholders
was presented to the voters of the city
today, and as predicted by The Herald,
met cold frost. In fact it was showed
under too deep to ever be revived again.
The poor thing didn't have friend at
court, or anywhere else, for that matter
The only pity is that it did not die before
it was ever born and save the city some
$1,000 expenses incurred in drawing up
the charter, advertising and holding the
election. The affair has been an unfor-
tunate one from the first, and no one
seemed to be to blame but the Legislature
which promulgated src,,l a clumsy, in
effective way of getulng new charter.
The total vote tJday was little over 200,
and II any one was brave enough to vote
for the charter he has not been discovered
vet.
