modern science, need little modification.
The precision with which the affairs of
of surprl Q to those who, on general priG-
clples, believe that one devoted to philan-
thr0py and literature must of necessity
neglect or be lacking in ability to govern
in the domestic realm.
In sun ming up it is but Just to say
that, barring the financial defect, we have
an all-around character before us: A wo-
man with love of home and flowers and
all that makes life beautiful; with op in
ions formed by thought and by study of
she best writers of both continents, yet
peculiarly tolerant of the opinions and
actions of others when these do not con-
t1ict with the divine prnci pies of truth
and right; woman with the courage of
her convictions, unfiinchingly support
ing any cause that she considers worthy !;
not claiming to be faultless in judgm ent
but ever striving to be Just.
Indeed, 1t is widely conceded in Los
Angeles that to the progressive views of
of them may be traced much of the So
cial, literary and religious growth that
has marked the City OF the Angels dur
ing the last nineteen years.
And as an apostle of advance we shall
always know her pursuing the liberated
iuea of what is better, as the husk of the
good that has been falls away; and ever
carrying the banner of her faith, on
which we read, Excelsior; the Best Is
Yet to Be- NJ. NJ. FETTE.

porch tables and easy chairs abound and
comfortable nammocks swing. Here
friends are ever welcome to sit or lie. to
chat or write or read, as the mood may
dictate, for in this this ideal home of Los
ity and good taste, the marks OF refine
ment and cultivation, exist, an unbound
ed hospitality has ever reigned.
Though the happiness of this home
was somewhat impaired by the years OF
illness of Mr.. Severance, whose death o.
Cured IN October, 1892, yet its hospital
ity was unchanged during these years,
and friends from far and near the noted
and the obscure, the brilliant and the
less highly endowed, always received
most cordial greeting and became partak
ers in the beauties of its domestic life.
During these years Mis-. Severance has
stood with open heart and hand. the ever
sympathetic helper OF the poor, the sor-
Towful and the afflicted, never losing in

hear Mr.. Severance during the last few
years of his life, while losing interest in
many OF the passing events, refer with
pride to occurrences Of moment 10 her

One of the firm conviction Of the sub

poor health in early life, is the advisa-

that she could not see the resemblance to
herself. She paid an affectioDate tribu g
to the friends by whom she had been so
many years surrounded and with whom
she had enjoyed such close and inspiring
com panionship.
Mrs. Severance was active IN the organ
ization and work of the Woman's Eduoa-
tional and industrial Union and of the
Moral Educational Association of Boston {
of which latter she was president for
many years, and was one of the pIomot-
ers of the Woman's Congress organized in
1873. At its meeting in Port land. Me-, in
1882, she read paper on the Chinese
Question. Her long residence in Califor'
mia, her painstaking research into the
literature of the question and careful
study of the action of government dnder
the treaties with China. gave her spe.
cial interest IN the subject and special
ability to handle il.
In 1876 the parlors of her home in Los
Angeles were opened for Unitarian church
services, the result of which was the
forming of society which finally re-
solved itself into the Unisy Church So
ciety of Los Angeles. Mrs. Severance was
tor several years one OF the trustees OF
that church and president OF its Chan

THE GOLDEN SUNSET

The golden sea its mirror spreads
Beneath the golden skies,
And but a narrow strip between
OF land and shadow lies.
The cloud like rocks, the rock like clouds,
Dissolved in glory float,
And, midway of the radiant flood,
Hangs silently the boat.
The sea is but another SKY,
The sky sea as we'll;
And which is earth and which the
heavens,
The eye Cal scarcely tell.
30 when for us life's evening hour
Soft passing shall descend,
May glory, born of earth and heaven,
The earth and heavens blend.
Flooded with peace the spirit hoats,
With silent rapture glows.
Till whore earth ends and heaven begils
The soul shall scarcely know.

I mourn no more my vanished years,
Beneath a tender rain,
All Anril rain of smiles and tears,

The windows of my soul throw
Wide open to the sun;
No longer forward nor behind

But. grateful. take the good l find,
The best of now and here.

10 harvest weed and tare;
The mamma dropping from God $ hand,
Rebukes my painful care.
break my pilgrim staff I lay
Aside the toiling oar;
The angel sought SO far away
] welcome at my door.
The airs of spring may never play
Among the ripening corn,
Nor freshness OF the flowers of May
Blow thro' the autumn morn.
Yet shall the blue.eysd gentan look
Thro' fringod lids to heaven;
And the pale aster in this brook,
Shall SEQ its image given;
The WOODS shall wear their robes OF
praise,
The south wind softly sigh,
And sweet, calm days in golden haze
Melt down the ami Der sky.
Not less shall manly deed and word
Rebuke an age OF wrong;
The Rraven flowers that wreath the sword
Make not the blade less strong.
But shifting hands shall learn to heal,
10 build as to destrOy:
Nor less my heart for others feel,
That l the more enjoy.
That more and more a providence
Of love is understood;
Making the springs of time and sense
Sweet with eternal good.
That death seems but q covered way,
Which opens into light
Wherein no blinded child can stray
Beyond the Fathers sight;
That care and trial ssem to last
Thro memory's sunset air,
Like mountain ranges overpast
In purple distance fair;
That all the iarring note. OF life
Swell, blended psalm,
And all the angles Of its strife
Slow rounding into calm.
And so the shadows fall apart
And so the west winds play,
And all the windows OF my heart
/ open to the day.

NOVEMBER-WEST

Lilt in the air as the birds fly over,
Scent of the sage BRUSH, sweet and
brown,
Purple haze, like royal cover,
Spread where the mountains lift their
crown.
Groom of pees in the vine ard shadow,
Simmer of sun where the live oaks
hold
Steady heads in the fragrant meadow,
Stirred by the breezes, told on fold.
Up my heart, like the passing swallow
Here ne pleasure and beauty rife.
Cure to the winds! Let who will follow !;
This is the wine and the Joy of life.

LOVE

A rose and the heart of the rose
Foldeth Il secret in,
A secret OF all the world
That began where the days begin.
A star and the light OF stars
Shines steadfastly across the gray,
A shimmering road, wherson
Love goeth his tricky way.
The rose will last but an hour
the stars will sink in the sea,
But friend and the heart of q friend
Are ever for thine and thee.

And the feet are often weary
And the heart is very sad,
When it seems that none are caring,
And we half forget tnat ever we were

With the sweetness love can render,
And the looks of friendly eyes.

While life's daily bread is broken;
Gentle speech is oft like mama from

The total amount of taxes OF this
year for the city amount to STE, 900, OF
which $4,000 is for special purposes
and only s154.Ooo is available. Even all
Of that may not be paid in. There Is
about $4,000 ON hand, but this 10 due
the sinking fund, although IL the money
due from the bondsmen of Simon Ja~
cobs were paid there would be about
5000 900 available with which to pay this
floating debt of $375,000. There would
still be s175,000 due with not a dollar
on hand to run the city for the ensu-
ing year. The city will therefore have
to pay seven per cent. interest ON these
warrants until they are paid a year
hence, and will also have to pay seven
per cent. interest on new warrants
which must be issued for all current
expenses of the city for the next IL
months.
1t would of course save the city
something in interest If this floating
debt were bonded at five or six per
cent, and that is the subject which Is
being agitated at present. 1t is sug-
gested that bonds de issued sufficient
to take up the $175.000 and also give the
city a fund of cash on hand sufficient
to permit the city treasurer to pay cash
for current expenses rather than issue
warrants which must pay seven per
could save in interest the difference be-
tween six and seven per cent. and per-
haps the difference between Ave and
seven per cent. according to the rate
of interest at which the bonds are is
sued. The present bonds draw six per
cent. interest. But money is easy now
in the East and II is thought that bonds
at five per cent. interest would find
ready sale. There is scarcely a day
when letters are not received by the
city clerk from eastern bankers inquir-
ing when Butte proposes to issue more
bonds. This shows that money is seek
ing investment and II Is therefore a
good time to sell bonds.
II Is also proposed to take up s65, 900
in bonds now redeemable In 1889 there
were issued $4,000 in sewer bonds and
$4,000 in public improvement bonds,
which are redeemable in 1894, and pay
able in 1909. 1t was proposed by Mr..
Dugan to take up these bonds a year
ago with the money in the sinking
fund, but City Treasurer Jacobs at the
time made objections and the matter
was dropped. The sinking fund Is now
replenished and amounts to very near
ly enough to redeem these bonds The
sinking fund lies in the bank without
drawing any interest whatever, so Il
is plain that the city would save money
by paying bonds on which six per cent.
interest is paid with the money that is
idle in the bank.
The mayor yesterday had an inter
view with the fbondsmen of the late
Simon Jacobs to see what they propose
to do relative to paying up the late
city treasurers deficiency. The city
proposes to bring suit against the
