From this there can be no mistaking
the determination of the Secretary of State
to prepare for defense of the boundary
line, pending some perm anent settlement
of the question. Until Congress meets
and provides more perfect form of gov

be met by just such movements. An

Frederick Williams Dies as the Result
of a Collision.
Frederick Williams, German waiter,
aged so years, died at the City and County
Hospital yesterday as the result of a col
lision with cyclist at the corner of Geary
and Leavenworth streets on the 25th inst.
The deceased, with friend named Louis
Doran, was crossing the street when a
wheelman going at high rate of speed
struck him, throwing him to the pave
ment with sufficient force to fracture his
skull.
The wheelman accompanied those who
carried Williams to neighboring drug
store, but in the confusion quietly slipped
out and disappeared before any one could
learn his name. Williams was single and
lived at 641 Commercial street.
Detective Gibson has been detailed on
the case and is endeavoring to locate the
man who rode the wheel.

APPOINTED AS PASTOR
REV. M. F. COLBURN FINALLY
SELECTED FOR GRACE
CHURCH.
CAPTAIN Cook ON REPUTABLE
PEOPLE WHO, He THINKS,
SHOULD WEAR STRIPES.

The Grace Methodist Episcopal Church
people are satisfied and so is Bishop War
rem. The difference of opinion, which
proved to be no very great difference after
all, has been settled to the entire satisfac-
ton of all concerned, not excepting DR..
Warner, who will remain with his flock at
Nashville, Tenn.
DR.. NJ. F. Colburn will be the pastor OF
ensuing year. Bishop H. F. Warren, who,
it seems, has intended, since he was APP
pr1sed of the wishes of the church to re-
ceive Mr.. Colburn as pastor, to accommo-
date them if possible, has accomplished
his task.
The following letter, the contents OF
which were communicated to the members
of Grace Church on Sunday, gives the re-
suit OF his work in that direction:
DENVER, Colo, Oct. 81, 1895.
Reu. ". F. COtburn: You have been received
into the Oklahoma annual conference of the
Methodist Episcopal churches on certificate OF
location, and now transfer you to the Califor-
mia conference and appoint you to Grace NJ. E.
Church.
l would have been very glad to do this at
first, but circumstances delayed until the pres
ent time.
May God greatly bless your labors, giving
God.
Yours for Christ and the church.
H. NJ. WARREN.
The transfer to the Oklahoma conference
was merely to conform to the church regu-
lations, Mr.. Colburn having been imme-
diately prior to that what is known as a
located" minister as far as his relation
TO the California conference was concerned,
his active relationship having been severed
by his absence during a season of Euro
pean travel
He has occupied various posts of honor
in the M. E. conference of this and other
States, and brings to his labors at Grace
Church scholarly attainments of an un-
usual degree, as well as qualities that will
make him popular as pastor.

his introduction, knew whereof he spoke.

ciety it is necessary for criminals and in
sane people to be incarcerated. and surely
great many men here who are At large
ought to be under lock and key. Some
men in this State wear fine broadcloth and
walk with gold-headed canes who, if JUS
tlce We're done them, would be wearing

might ask how such judges would look in

about our Solid Eight Supervisors and
worthy Superintendent of Streets and
some other OF our City and State officials. F"
In speaking on "What to do With the
Convict" Captain Cook said "keep him
locked up for the full term of his sentence,
minus, perhaps, little good-conduct
tune. Do not pardon him. In times past
the usual market price of a pardon was
S5uUU. Men have got out with part of the
money that got them in.
Make the convicts earn all they cost.

are almost all strong, vigorous men, in the
prime OF life? Let comfort and well-being

industry" The speaker urged that con-
vlcts might be employed in building rail-
roads and county roads. He also pleaded
for the hopeful ones being helped toward
leading better life on being discharged
from prison.

Rev. Mr.. brahms, chaplain of San Quen-
tin, thought that criminology was not suffi-
GENTLY studied i'll California. 1.-THE real
criminal element of this country are not
the murderers, the stage-robbers and the
city thugs, the men who are preparing to
return to crime, even before they are dis
charged from Jail. The pardoning system
is vicious The only way in which pris-
oner should be pardoned is under the
parole system, which gives him his free
dom subject to good behavior
DR.. Pond approved of the parole system,
as did a mum Der of the other ministers.
Rev. DR.. Mooar asked Captain Cook
whether he could bring forward satisfac-
tory proof that $4,000 could buy pardon in
this State. Captain Cook stated that he
had what he considered reliable informa-
ton on the subject, but his remark had no
reference to the present Governor.

Methodists Pass Resolu tons,

The Methodist preachers meeting yes
terday morning was chiefly occupied with
the question, "What Is Truth ?" The
paper on the subject was read by Rev. DR..
Nelson of Santa Rosa. He gave review
of the works of Plato and stated that he
believed that philosopher discovered truth.
No truth had been discovered since the
time of Plato. Christ had revealed saliva
ton.
In the discussion some of the pastors
hesitated to accept this view of truth.
