TO WHITTIER
Chris Metzger Sent There Yesterday by
Justice Campbell

Justice Campbell
Chris Metzger is going to spend year
or two at Whittier. Justice Morrison yes
terday came to the conclusion that it
would be good place for him to stay.
Metzger was 15 years of age yesterday.
He seems to have already become afflicted
with the liquor habit. At least that is
what was shown by the testimony, and
on account of the facts that were de-
veloped, warrants were issued for several
people who are accused by Metzger of SELL
ing him liquor.
Several days ago Metzger says that he
went into DR.. Beckwith's drug store, at
Spring and Temple streets and got pint
of whisky, upon which he proceeded to
get up a jag. Then he sauntered out
along Orange street. where he saw boy
named Charley Townsend riding bicycle.
He thought he would like to take ride
himself, and made Townsend get off.
But Metzger was too drunk and too
clumsy to ride, SO he called young Towns
end to come back and get his wheel. When
the lad got within a few feet of him,
Metzger drew pistol from his pocket and
fired at Townsend. Fortunately his hand
was too unsteady for him to take accurate
aim. . M MOD $50

sons who are supposed to know of acts of
legislative corruption which come within
the jurisdiction of the San Francisco
grand jury. are to be subpoenaed before
that body and asked to give evidence up

ESCAPED TWO YEARS AGO
A Strange Proceeding in Judge Owens
Court

Court
Almost exactly two years and six
months ago Gurdine Horton of this city
was arrested for stealing a load of hay
and arraigned in Judge Owens Court.
The evidence against the prisoner was
conclusive. and he was fined $3.50. Inn
mediately after judgment had been pro-
nounced another charge of embezzlement
was brought against him. Horton on his
arraignment was held for court under
500 bail. Shortly before his trial the
prisoner escaped from the County Jail
and has not been heard from since.
Yesterday his attorney appeared before
Judge Owens ana paid the fine Of $3.50
against his client for stealing the hay. He
stated that he did so because Horton had
desired henceforth to lead the life of an
honest man. What the police are going
to do in regard to the charge of embezzle-
ment against him, and the $4,000 bail, no
one knows.

HAVE YOU LIVED HERE REFoBE9
People Who Believe They Have Existed
Many Times in Many Bodies.


Many Times in Many Bodies.
From lhe Atlanta Constitution.
A convention of people who believe
they have lived many times on earth in
MANY different bodies will soon be held
in Boston.
These people are called theosophists,
and their organization has grown up in
the past nineteen yel rs, with 20l branch
es in America alone.
Here are some of the main beliefs of
the theOsophistS:
81. Man lives many lives on earth.
so If he is happy or unhappy in this
life it is because he is having measured
to him what he melted to others in foi :
mer life.
80. A secret brotherhood of perfected
men exists with headquarters in Thibet,
and has branches all over the world All
of it's men are of the Christ and Buddha
type. They have the power of assuming
any form aud of transporting themselves
to the most distant places on earth at
will, and though they mingle constantly
with men are seldom recognized. They
sent Nine Blavatsky to organize the
Philosophical society, which they We tch
over and protect. All the members O.
this brotherhood have lived thousands
of years"
The society holds no particular doc
trine. Its members may be Buddhlsts,
Christians, Jews, Mohammedaus or any
thing else, if they subscribe to the doc
trine of the universal brotherho I'd o.
man. They believe that all religions are
only one truth clothed in different G IL
ments.
Mr.. w. Q. Judge is the head of the
American tneosophIsts. He is the sue
cessor of Madame Bllvatsky. and is fer
ty-four years old, and man of tremen-
dous will power He is the author of
several books, and is well known as AN
impressive lecturer. About fifteen yelrS
ago he was the only tn 1850 )hSt in New
York. He believes in the power of
of thought, and in the solitude of his. iowa
Office he thought about theoSOphy and
willed that sympathetic minds should
be attracted to him. He was not dis
appointed. IL short time strangers
dr. % ped in without knowing why, and
the conversation would turn to the sub
iect uppermOst in the mind of Mr.. Judge.
The law office was converted into a
meeting place for theosophists. The
society grew ana now owns a $25O,000
hall north If Madison.
In New York The Path is the organ OF
the theOsophists aud Mr.. Judge is its
editor Among the members Of the soci-
ETY. are mauy leading physicians, lawyers,
business men and lit9rlry meu. Their
approaching annual convention Will give
the 3ostoDians something to talk about.

THE PRESIDENT AND HIS LETTER.

"The mountain has labored and
brought forth mouse" PRESIDENT
Cleveland could not, with propriety
address the Chicago goldbugs who IN
vited him to do so, but he wrote them
letter.
Mr.. Cleveland has always seemed
especially gifted in making words con-
ceal thought; his letters are usually
characterized by ponderous platitudes
and we'll known facts dressed up IN
rhetorical furbeloWs The latest ema-
nation from him is like unto the Others
differing only in the fact that as you read
on with each new paragraph you expect
to see a flatfooted declaration for gold
recommendation. This evident intention
he cloaks under the cover of the words,
''safe currency"
Could the democratic party and It's
supposed head agree with one another
as to what is ''safe surrency" all would
be smooth sailing. But while the party
calls for s.bimetalIism at parity" the
president tfamors for "gold monometal'
lism," and within the party of jefferson
and Jackson there is confusion and tur-
MOL. Shall the president mould the
party, or will he be guided by the wishes
of vast majority of the men who make
the party? Whichis the democratic party,
President Cleveland or the voters who
put him where he is?
disguise it as we may, the line of
battle is drawn between the forces OF
safe currency and those of silver mono
metallism," says the president Simply
asserting a thing does not make it So,
and This statement needs plenty of salt.
The democratic party is not for mono
metallism, be it gold or silver, but it is
for the bimetallic standard. Let Mr..
Cleveland revise his screed and say, "the
issue is between gold monometallism and
the forces of a safe currency" and we
will agree with him.
Civil service reform in 1884, tariff re-
form in 1883 and 1892, and financial
reform in 1896 mark the rise and fall of
Clevelandsm. Every campaign must bear
some new slogan from the imam of des-
tiny" Out with such discrimination and
guile. Let democracy take heart and
listen to what her true sons are saying in
conventions assembled
A new declaration of independence is
needed, and the signs of the times point
to its adoption. Men no longer dread
the lash of party demagogues, but think
for themselves The democracy OF the
land is awakening before its limbs are
entirely fettered with gold bands. 1t is
stretching its mighty muscles. Listen
and you will hear the letters fall and
VII see a recreated party storm the bal
lot boxes in 1896.
