Why Ex-President Harrison VIII Try
No More Jury Gases.

An indianapolis despatch says Ever
since ex-President Harrison announced
at the close of the Morrison will case
trial that he would not accept an en-
ployment again in a jury case, there has
been much speculation regarding the
cause of his determination. Recently an
attorney employed in the Morrison case
furnished a reason which seems entirely
credible and which the friends of the eX-
president here do not question.
According to this authority, the i'm
mediate cause was a remark made by
Congressman II enry w. johnson during
the Trial. The court had ruled against
johnson and in favor Of Harrison in a
number of instances and johnson had
become very restless. One day a ques-
ton had been asked a witness and John.
son interpOsed an objection. The point
was argued and the court decided that
the question was proper, and sustained
Harrison.
''If the presence of an ex-president in
this case" said Johnson, excitedly, "has
anything to do with the rulings of the
court. it il time that we know it,"
Judge Black colored visibly under the
imputatlon and was about to speak when
Harrison rose. His face was flushed but
his manner was quiet as he said: There
is no ex-president in this case. | am
here as citizen of this State and in the
discharge of my duty, as | see it, to my
client, and the fact that the people of
my country have seen cause to honor me
should not be brought into the case"
johnson made an apology, which Har-
rison did not notice, and the case pro-
ceeded. Harrison was deeply mortified
over the incident. and it was then, his
friends say, that he made up his mind
not to appear in jury trial again where
cases were fought in bitterness and for
effect before the jury.

TO AND FROM TOPHET.
BY J. W. HANSON. D. d.

OF all places on earth California is
the land of extremes. One can go in
few hours from Paradise to Purga
tory; from the Garden of Eden to the
Gates of the Inferno. Snow and
torrid heat are in sight of each other;
Sahara and Spitzbergen exchange
signals; while in a thousand valleys
and seaside slopes between, an al
most perpetual spring resides. Look
ing down upon me as | write is the
steepest mountain in the world-San
Jacinto, its lofty battlement and sky
pointing submits, mantled with miles
of snow, scores of feet deep in the
canyons and gulches, while all around
me stretches unmeasured leagues of
desert sand, on which the tropic sun
pours an unmitigated heat which is
reflected back with reinforced pow
er that stiles and enervates.
How to Get to Tophet.
Leaving the unrivaled San Gabriel
Valley you ascend to the height of
land at Beaumont ION the Southern
Pacific) 1850 feet above the sea.
Thence the descent is rapid to Indio.
which is twenty feet below sea-level,
and to Salton, the lowest point, which
is 263 feet below the ocean altitude.
For nearly 70 miles the railway track
is lower than the ocean brink. The
road comes to the sea level at Flow
ing Well, but the same dreary, torrid
waste continues to Yuma and the
Colorado river, about 200 miles,
where California ends and Arizona
begins. The sand is yellow-white,
like dirty snow; the weeds and low
bushes are all bent one way by the
pitiless sirocco blasts, and half
buried in the sand, which is in ever
changing drift; the shanty at the oc-
casional station is half-buried in the
drift of sand-dunes. In places the
telegraph poles are nearly eaten off,
as the blowing particles have gnawed
them away; the ground wherever one
looks shimners as the fierce sun
waves beat upon it, and the barren
mountains palpitate as though agi-
tated by volcanic forces. "He touches
the mountains and they smoke"-the
eyes are blinded with heat and dust,
and the ears and nose are plugged

AKRON LETTER.
CHILDREN's SUNDAY.

The eprincipal features of the day in the
Akron church were the floral decora.
tions, the fine singing of the school and
chorus choir, and the baptism of four.
teen children, ranging from the infant in
arms to some OF the older mem bers OF
the Sunday-school.
Bro. Thompson preached to the child
rem an excellent sermon from the words
of Jesus, about the lilies, showing how
their perfection was due to obedience to
the higher law of their being. This les
son was enforced with apt stories and
illustrations and the service throughout
was beautiful and impressive.
RALLIES FOR BUCHTEL COLLEGE.
Public meetings in the interest of
Buchtel College have been planned for
several places near and the Financial
Agent andother speakers will be present
on these occasions, when there will also
be special attractions in the way of mu-

authorized by the Ohio Convention will
be Immediately inaugurated, and it is be-
lieved will be successful in getting the
full amount needed. The people Of Ohio
are thoroughly loyal to the institution
and no sign of heart failure on the part
of any parish is anticipated.
PENNSYLVANIA UNlvERSALIST CON.
yENTION.
The Financial Agent attended the
Pennsylvania State Convention, which
was held in the beautiful new church at
Bradford. This house of worship is one
of the most tasteful and complete
churches l have ever seen; a perfect
gem, fawless alike in color. size and ap-
pointments. The pastor, Rev. M. H.
Houghton, may we'll be proud of his
church, aud of the people who have con-
structed an edifice SO perfectly in keep
ing with it's charming surroundings.
The attendance at the Convention was
not large during the business sessions,
but it was enthusiastic in spirit and
hopeful in tone. The reports from all
quarters indicated return of prosper
GUS days and steady and healthy
growth.
The Young Peoples Convention show
ed that the Unions through the State
were keenly alive, full of vigor, and pre-
pared to scale the loftiest heights of en-.
deavor.
A pleasant episode of the Convention
was ride given to all visitors during
Thursday afternoon, which was planned
and carried out by Mrs. Houghton and
the ladies of the Bradford Society.
A large part of the indebtedness on
the church was cancelled Wednesday
evening before the service of dedication.

victim.
He is not ignorant of the menace
his act is to the peace and happiness
of his home, the welfare of his wife
and children. He chooses to take the
chances, and he deserves to take the
consequences, if his home is des.
troyed. My pity is not for him; it is
Tor the wife whose shame and sorrow
he does not consider, and for the
helpless children he disgraces and
tortures. For it is not alone the vio-
lent and abusive dunkard who tort
ures his family; every man who goes
down step by step from an honorable
position in the world, until he is re-
garded at the best with pity and con-
tempt, tortures his family, and rend-
ers their lives one long series of hu-
Mutations and anxieties.
{ And Isay unto my sisters, refuse to
make common lot with these men
VINO forfeit their self-control. Sepa-
rate yourselves from them and lead
clean lives, in poverty, but in self re-
spect. Let men learn that to ensure
womanly love and devotion they
must deserve it. Let young men
learn that to marry virtuous girls they
must themselves be virtuous. Let the
debased men herd hereafter with the
debased women. Even Judas had
the grace to go to his own place.
A woman sinks herself to the mans
level if she marries him with full
knowledge of his vices. But let us
teach the young girls of the new time
to avoid men over whom even a sus-
picion of reckless life hangs. And
let us break the chains and set the
captives free of as many wronged and
persecuted wives as is possible to us.

Centennial Church." will have reached
its one hundred and second year next

who attended the church before 1900,
there are a number who went to
the services there during the twenty
years succeeding that time, and move
ment is on foot to hold commemorative
services in the old building, which has
not been used for the past five years.
