by the last National conference as follows:
These churches accept the religion of
Jesus, holding, in accordance with his
teachings, thai practical religion is summed
up IN love to God and love to man"
He said that, while much could be
learned from this statement, it contem-
plated no scheme for salvation" such as
held by most other religions with the OBJ
ject OF making men pass for something
they were not. Sacrifices, for instance,
were intended to cause men to be treated
as though they had kept the laws they had
broken, the historic salvation scheme
having been based upon certain legal fic-
tons and artlticialities. The difference be-
tween Christianity and other religions was
that 1t revealed, others are natural; i'll it
COD seeks men, and in the other men seek
God. Because it rejected such schemes
unltarlanism has been regarded as made
up OF negations. but they were mainly ne
cations OF negations-they were really af-
hrmations. The Unitar ian. he said, be-
Ileves that in the future life there will
open to every soul the highest posi- Utilities
Tor which he is fitted, and that the cham

SANTA R0SA'S CARNIVAL
PREPARATIONS BEING MADE FOR
THE BIGGEST ROSE SHOW
YET GIVEN.
BOARD OF DIRECTORS WILL PUSH
THE WORK TO Sue
CEssFUL CONCLUSION.

SANTA ROSA, CAL, Oct. 23.-The peo-
pie of Santa Rosa have taken hold of the
carnival idea with vim and energy and
they are already debating arrangements
for that great event. They have organized
their association with twenty-one mem
bers, instead of fifteen as formerly. Com
mihees will be appointed and funds raised.
The ways and means committee has
some money on hand and it is claimed
that considerable more Is already in sight.
Santa Rosa expects to maintain the repu-
tation thus far enjoyed in carnival mat
tiers, and even better work will be done in
the preparation for the next show than III
the past.
A prominent banker of this place gives
it as his opinion that the city was $4,000
better off after the carnival last spring
than before. But, successful as it was, it
can be improved upon next year. With
two years experience there is no good rea-
son why the people of Santa Rosa should
not give rose carnival that will surpass
anything that has been given in this or
any other State. The board of directors
has determined to push the enterprise to a
magnificent conclusion.

FUNERAL OF FATHER VIA.
Large concourse of People and Some
Twenty Priests Followed the
Remains to the Crave.

SANTA BARBARA, CAL, Oct. 23.-The
funeral of the Very Rev. James Villa took
place to-day at the Parochal Church and
was attended by large concourse of peo-
pie. Some twenty priests of the diocese
were in attendance. Bishop Mora, the
venerable friend and superior of the dead
priest, conducted the requiem mass, and a
pathetic feature of the ceremonies was the
manifest bodily infirmities of this aged
man, who at times required the support
of two of his brother clergy.
The address in English was delivered by
the Very Rev. Father Adam of Los An
geles, and was an eloquent tribute to the
noble and self sacrificing life of the dead
man, who lived for the good of humanity
and left to the poor of the parish all his
accumulation of this world goods. This
was followed by sermon in Spanish by
the aged Father Rubio of Ventura. A
long train of carriages followed the re-
mains to the grave. Rev. j. Stockman OF
San Bernardino mas been appointed Father
Villa s successor.

FRANKLIN MINES CLOSED.
The Fire Is Still Raging, Superintendent
Corey Has Resigned and the coro-
ner Asked to hvestoute.

SEATTLE, WASH, Oct. 23.-By reason
OF the recent disaster and the fact that the
fire is still raging with considerable fury
the Franklin mines have been closed down
indefinitely, throwing out of employment
about 200 men.
With this action Receiver c. ]. Smith to-
day made the announcement that 7. B.
Corey, the veteran superintendent of the
Oregon Improvement Company mines, had
resigned. Mr.. Corey voluntarily severed
his connection to accept a lucrative posi-
ton rendered him by the Atchison, Topeka
and Santa Fe Railroad. His resignation,
however. will probably not take place for
month or six weeks.
The bodies of the four men who met
death in the recent disaster have been
sealed up in the mines mouth and
every opening has been securely closed
in the hope that the black damp will
in time smother out every vestige of the
fire.
The mine company through its general
counsel to-day called upon the Coroner to
make an investigation, claiming that the
bodies cannot be found. The Coroner will
not act in the premises save in conjunction
with the State Mine Inspector. as required
by law.

FRIENDLY RELATIONS EXISTING
BETWEEN THE TWO RAIL
WAY COMPANIES.
GOOD REPORTS ALONG THE LINE
CHEERING WORDS BROUGHT TIC
THE CONTRACTORS FROM ALL
OUTSIDE POINTS.

STOCKTON, CAL, Oct. 23.-The crossing
of the main lines of the San Joaquin
Valley Railroad and the Corral Hollow
line was placed in position to-day.
Friendlier relations could not exist be-
tween the representatives of the two COM
panies than was apparent between the
employees of the two companies to-day.
This is the particular crossing that the
Valley Road people have been falsely
represented as endeavoring to block. To-
day the Corral Hollow people found it con-
venient to do the work and every facility
calculated to aid in the work was placed at
the disposal of that company's force. The
work was begun early in the morning, and
the news that it was in progress attracted
a large number of citizens to the inter-
section of Taylor and Hunter streets,
where the lines cross.
About forty men were engaged in the
work, and by noon the main crossing was
down and engine 2, with heavy train of
cars, ran down the Valley road track and
over the crossing. Engineer Wilbur's de-
sign for the crossing is complete sue
cess. There was not a single perceptible
hitch or jar as the train passed the Corral
Hollow track. Heavy timbers on firm
foundation of ballast do not allow any
bolts to be sprung on the plates or Says in
the rails. AS soon as this was disposed of
the workmen began operations on the
switch crossing which is that line of the
Valley road track running down from
block 81. This was very difficult cross
ing, but it was placed in a successful
manner.
When representatives of either side were
questioned as 10 the work they merely
answered that they had instructions to put
down the crossings, and were doing SO.
By tomorrow night all the crossings in the
city will be down, as the Valley road people
are lending all the aid possible. The Val
ley road grade across block q is about
finished, ana, nothing intervening, the
track will be done by the middle of next
week.
Reports from along the line of the grade
Gre very cheering, and the contractors
will surely reach the Stanislaus River on
schedule time. Rolling stock for the COM

waiting cars are stretched along Taylor

THE BULLION IN THE TREASURY
TO BE CONVERTED INTO
GOLD OBLIGATIONS.
NEW ORLEANS MINT CLOSED
THOSE AT PHILADELPHIA AND SAN
Francisco THE ONLY ONES
TO BE OPERATED.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 23.-All sill
yer coinage except that of subsidiary sill
yer has been ordered susp ended after No
VEN ber l by Secretary Carlisle. In carry
ing out this policy the New Orleans mint
will be practically closed and dismantled
after that date.
Secretary Carlisle has for some time been
considering the ACCESSIBILITY of stopping al.
silver coinage except that of subsidiary
coins. Since he has been head of the
Treasury Department only 49,, 224 stand
ard silver dollars have been minted. Since
July last only ninety standard silver DOL
lars have been coined. The total coinage
OF silver under all acGs amounts to $423,-
2S9, 307.
The treasury now holds 1877, ga, 900 fine
ounces of silver bullion purchased under
the Sherman act, the cost OF which was
1924, 0S0, 1913, with coming value in silver
dollars of $177 964, 600. If this bullion were
coined into silver dollars the profit to the
Government on its coinage would be nearly
100000, which sum could be paid out
for the ordinary expenses of the Govern
ment or against which silver certificates
could be issued.
The principal effect of the action taken
by Secretary Carlisle is to convert all the
silver bullion held by the Government into
gold obligations under the parity clause of
the Sherman act.
Secretary Window, In 1891, construed
the law TO mean that all the Sherman
notes issued against bullion were redeem
able in gold. This construction of the law
was concurred in by his successors, Secre-
taries Foster and Carlisle, and has been in
practical operation during the past four
years. Under II $40, so has been re-
deemed.
The coinage of silver bullion into stand
ard silver dollars operates to prevent Sher-
man notes being issued, and silver certi6-
Gates issued against the standard silver
dollars are redeemable only IN silver. Thus,
from the same base (silver bullion), the
Sherman notes become gold obligations
and silver. coined into standard silver dol
lars, and silver certificates, issued upon
them, become silver obligations.
The suspension of the coinage of stand
ard silver dollars therefore leaves the sill
yer bullion free from any other liability OF
conversion into silver obligations. The
closing up OF the New Orleans mint leaves
only the United States minis at Philadel-
phia and San Francisco in operation. At
these minis only gold and subsidiary silver
will hereafter be coined, unless Congress
should direct to the contrary and its action
be approved by the President.

and also new dynamo from the Westing-

SECURED Il DIVORCE.
Tictory for Very Little Woman Who
Married o. Biz Man.


Married Big Man.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 23.-Pretty lit
tie blue-eyed Minchen Becker came to this
country five years ago. She was then
about 20 years old and not more than 8
feet inches tall. Since that time she says
she has grown one and half or two inches.
Minchen was the leading lady of the Lii
putian company, which made success in
this country. Over two years ago she
severed her connection with the Lilipu-
tlans and married George Holzheimer, a
big, blonde mustached man, over six feet
tall and weighing 200 pounds or more. He
was a brewmaSter.
They settled down and for while all
went well. But last spring Minchen's big
husband told her he had grown tired of
her. They quarreled and finally last June
they separated. In August the little wife
brought an action for absolute divorce on
statutory grounds. Judge Gildersleeve
granted her an absolute divorce Friday
last. Mr.. and Mrs. Holzheimer have no
children. Mrs. Holzheimer will go back
TO the stage.

BURNED At SEA.
The Steamer City of st. augustine De-
stroyed.

NEW YORK. n. Y, Oct. 23.-The City
of st. Augustine, Captain Gaskill, which
regularly trades between this port and
Jacksonville, Fla, bringing up lumber
from the latter port. was burned at sea,
eighteen miles off Hatteras, yesterday
morning. The news was brought by the
Ward liner Orizaba, which stood by the
burning steamer for several hours, but
saw no signs of the crew. 1t is probable
they had taken to the boats in an endeavor
to reach the coast.
The City of st. Augustine was a small
wooden steamer of $50 tons net and was
built in 1890. It sailed from New York
for Jacksonville at midnight OF the Dist
inst, with crew of fifteen men and q
cargo OF general merchandise, but no pas
sengers. The cargo was insured.

The First Leares Jersey City for st

The First Ledces Jersey City for st.
Louis.
NEW YORK, n. Y, Oct. 23.-The first
of the new robber-proof fast mail trains,
built in the shops of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railway Company for the new ser
vice which the Postoffice Department has
established between this city and St.
Louis, left Jersey City Sunday morning
at 4 80. 1t is scheduled TO reach ST. Louis
at noon to-day.
The new mailcars are believed 10 be i'm
pregnable to the most expert train-robber.
/ Without platforms or doors to speak of
they present hardly foothold for the
bandits. The cars are built of heavy and
solidly joined timbers, calculated TO with
stand telescoping, keep out bullets and
defy a smash-up. Except when rounding
a curve no break can be distinguished be-
tween the cars, SO little space is there at
their iuncture. At one end of the car
there is door, stoutly barricaded, and at
the other end diminutive trapdoor, and
on either side two doors for the delivery
and receipt of mail. The ends are strength
ened by heavy timbers and iron braces as
preventive for. telescoping. Twelve
chandeliers supplied from three gas tanks
in each car, under pressure of thirty-six
atmospheres, brilliantly illuminate the
cars, which are thoroughly ventilated and
comfortably furnished. 1t is believed
that the first trip will be a record breaker.
