Abraham Lincoln" Mr. Shortridge in hi.
spellbound for an hour, by reviewing the
great works of the nations preserver, com
pairing Lincoln as second only to the i'm.
mortal Washington, the father of the
nation.
''In every land and every clime," saio
the speaker, "where the English language
is spoken are the names of Washington
and Lincoln revered and respected, as be-
ing to this country what the greatest men
of ancient Greece and Rome were to those
countries in centuries gone by"
Continuing, he said: LAS long as
patriotism and love of country are taught

particular, should do all that they can to
help the Senator's proposition along.
~ would suggest that in each of the
principal towns they get up petitions ad-
dressed to the representatives from their
particular sections, asking them to vote
for the bill, and if that be not sufficient,
then the officers of the State Floral Society
ought to send committee to the capital
to work in favor of having a legislative
recognition of that flower as the one to
represent the State. 1t is to be found in
every part of the Golden State. 1t is a
State flower and if for no other reason than
that it is emblematic of the rich golden
treasures taken from the earth and which
has given our commonwealth the name of
the Golden State.
'sOf course there is some sentiment in
connection with the matter, but have no
doubt that our lawmakers have enough of
that left to enable them to adopt law
that will not in any way interfere with
their more serious duties and give them
credit for taste for the grand, the glori-
Gus and the beautiful"
At a convention of fruit-growers of Cali
fornia, held in Santa Cruz, Mrs. Lelong had
a magnificent display of the golden poppy
and she did mnch by the display and by
her talk to induce the officers of the con-
vention to adopt a resolution declaring
their preference in favor of the eschscholt-
zia as the emblem of the State. Subse-
quently at an exhibition held by the State
Floral Society the question of choice of a
State flower was submitted to a vote and
the golden poppy was the choice by large
majority In an unofficial way the Native
Sons and Daughters of the Golden West
have indorsed this flower as the emblem Of
the land of gold.

would be beneficial As the result he sent
his resignation to the First Baptist Church.
Although many OF the members had feared
such action they were unanimously anx-
ious to keep Mr.. Henry in San Francisco.
There was meeting held after the regu-
lar Wednesday night prayermeeting, at
which Mr.. Henry's resignation was for
mally laid before the members of the
church. There was not the least hesita-
ton on the part of the members, and
they at once unanimously asked Mr.. Henry
to reconsider his resignation and appointed
a committee of the officers of the church to
call upon him and lay the matter before
him.
Mr.. Henry lives at the Beresford Hotel
and has been confined to his bed for several
days. When the committee, consisting of
Messrs. H. L. Gear Morris, Chamberlin
and Patterson, called on the pastor last
night, they found him slightly better and
sitting up. The action of the church was
recited and each member Of the committee
urgently asked Mr.. Henry to stay in San
Francisco. The discussion was long and
earnest, but ended without definite decision
on the part of the preacher.
THE only thing to be said" remarked
one of the committee after the visit, sis
that Mr.. Henry has not yet sent his tele-
gram of acceptance to the Chicago ch urch.
Frankly, it looks, however, as though he
would persist in his resignation. OF course
the First Baptist Church would regret very
much indeed losing man so loved and re-
spectcd as Mr.. Henry, but wherever he
goes we wish him happiness and good
fortune
Mrs. Henry was kept busy all day yester-
day receiving calls from the lady members
of the First Baptist Church, asking her to
use her influence to persuade Mr.. Henry
to stay in this city. Mrs. Henry has at
tended her husband throughout his illness,
but was cheerful and cordial to all her
callers.
''I can only say" she remarked, 'that so
far the matter has not been settled but L
think Mr.. Henry will decide in favor of
Chicago. 1t looks that way now, although
of course we feel very grateful to the mem
bers of the First Baptist Church for their
action on Mr.. Henry's resignation"
1t is generally believed that Mr.. Henrys
exertions in matters of public interest are
the cause of his present i'll health, and his
most intimate friends say that if he re-
mains here the constant strain is apt to
seriously injure him. There will soon be
another meeting between Mr.. Henry and
the committee from the church, when it is
believed the matter will be definitely set
tied.

YET UNDECIDED.
STRONGLY URGED BY A COMMITTEE

CHICAGO WANTS HIM BADLY.
THE PUBLIC DEMANDS UPON HIS
STRENGTH THE CAUSE OF
HIS ILLNESS.

Despite the strong influence brought to
bear on him, the Rev. J. Q. A. Henry has,
as vet, neither insisted upon the accept
ance of his resignation as pastor of the
First Baptist Church of this city, nor ac-
cepted the pastorate of the LaSalle Baptist
Church of Chicago, which has been ur-
gently rendered him.
For some time the Chicago church has
been endeavoring to secure Mr.. Henry as
its pastor, and added to its persistent COM
pliment a very generous salary as addi-
tional incentive. Mr. Henry has been in
poor health lately and seemed at last to
conclude that the change to Chicago

to shoe a good Christian spirit she would

his influence to prevent others from an

Ryan agreed to do so and the Judge con-
tined his case for thirty days to see if he
behaved himself.

BURGLARS KEEPING IT UP.
Pseudo Potato-Peddlers Are Working
Energetically in the Western
Addition.
The Dental Rooms of DIR. A. 7. Regens-
burger Entered and All His Instru-
ments Stolen.

The police have been making every effort
to catch the gang of basement-workers in
the Western Addition, but so far have not
been successful. The gang has happy
faculty of being able to select a house where
the family has gone out for few hours.
They enter by the basement and if detected
they pretend they are potato-peddlars and
get away before the extent of their depre-
dations is discovered.
J. B. Martin, Deputy County Clerk re-
ported at police headquarters yesterday
that his residence, 1926 Page street, had
been entered by burglars during the alb
sence of the family on Wednesday after
noon The thieves had ransacked every
room in the house, but as there was no
money or jewelry lying around they only
took pair of opera-glasses.
The residence of Dr. Chalmers, in the
same locality, was entered few days ago
and several valuable articles stolen.
Another burglary was reported to police
headquarters on Wednesday morning. DIR.
Arthur T. Regensburger, the dentist,
locked up his office at Ill Geary street on
Tuesday night and went home. When he
reached it next morning he had ocular
demonstration of the fact that something
had happened during the night. 1t was in
the shape of a hole, large enough to permit
an arm being thrust through, which had
been cut in the panel close to the bolt on
the inside.
The door opened to his touch, and his
worst fears were realized. The burglars
had looted the place. All his valuable
dental instruments were gone, as well as
everything else, with the exception of the
furniture and carpets.
Detectives were at once detailed on the
case, but no arrests have as yet been made.
Most of the recent burglaries have been
the work OF novices, but it is believed that
some clever hands at the business commit
ted the burglary in the dental rooms.

Mrs. Grace L. Girard, the brave young
matron who captured Phillip Redding,
the burly burglar, in her cellar, 1913 Mis-
sion street, Wednesday afternoon, was the
cynosure of all eyes in Police Judge Lows
court yesterday morning.
Out of kindness of heart Mrs. Girard re-
fused to swear to complaint against
Redding for burglary, so he was tried on
the minor charge of petty larceny.
She told the story substantially as it
appeared in yesterdays CALL, and then,
woman-like, she pleaded for mercy for the
man. 81 don't think he would have done
it, your Honor" she said, ''if he had not
been under the influence OF drink, and L

"Well," said the Judge, II think the

Michael Madden, coal hauler residing at
Mahanoy City, was yesterday acquitted he
fore Judge Savidge of charge Of receiving
stolen goods. 1t was alleged that he was one
of a number of hauers who received bogus
orders from Solomon Hopes, a shipper at
Tunnel Ridge colliery, operated by the p &
Il. c. & l. Co., and used the orders to secure
coal at the coliery. Hopes is now serving
long sentence for forgery. 1t was al
legged that Madden received the orders which
were made out by Hopes by using fictitious
names, and bought some of them far below
their face value 1t was also charged that
Madden during one month bought 81 OPS. .92
worth of orders. Hopes was called as a wit
ness by the Commonwealth and admitted
giving Madden orders at different places
sometimes on the street, or wherever they
met. Chestnut coal was sold to the employees
at S1.sO per ton Others were charged So 80 ;
stove coal sold at g.. .O5 to employees and 81 SO
to non-employees. Orders to the haulers
were sold by Hopes at $125 for thrce-quar-
ters of a ton of chestnut coal.
w. A. MARI and John Dolphin, who were
the defendants counsel, showed that Madden
can not read or write and was therefore
ignorant of the fraud.
