ANEW religious sect has been started
in Missouri. The members elect an
angel" whose business it is to fly to
heaven every little while and find out
what God wants the members to do.
Contrary to what might be expected,
the members had no difficulty what
ever in finding a man who was both
able and willing to fly to heaven as
often as was desired. But when he
makes the trip he insists on being ab
solutely alone. He doubtless wants a
cinch on the job.

IT is not remarkable that while the
goldbug papers fill their columns with
the argument against remonetizing
silver because it will make the silver
mine owners rich, they fail to say a
word about the millions of profit made
annually by the gold mine owners who
get free coinage for gold bullion that
costs less to mine than does silver
bullion.

SECRETARY OF TIE TREASURY CARLISLE

Guess not. All money leaves the shores
of it's native heath as a commodity,
good for only its real value as a metal.

STOLE FOR AN ACTRESS,
Marie Wainwright Said to Have
Received Money From
Paul SChulze.
A Loan of Years Ago Repaid Before
the Tacoma Defaulter Ended
His Life.

TACOMA, WASH, May 2s-One of the
last acts of Paul Schulze, the defaulter and
suicide, was the commission of crime by
m cans of which he could repay kind act
of years ago. 1t was to-day learned from
a source considered authentic that the
$4,000 which Schulze secured from the
Bank of British Columbia by means of q
check drawn on q dummy in San Fran
cisco was sent to Marie Wainwright
A romantic story is back of this an
nouncement. Years ago, it is said, before
Paul Schulze had become rich man the
actress loaned him money with which to
engage in business venture They were
great friends in those days and with
Schulze the affection never died out. Before
he ended his life he wrote several letters to
Miss Wainwright and one of them inclosed
check to repay the loan which had given
him the start in. life.
With this story comes one which places
Schulze in the light of rascal and hypo-
critic, with no touch of romance to give it
shading. Yesterday number of Eastern
editors arrived, presumably on an excur-

SANTA ROSA, CAL, MAY 29e-The AL
trurian colony, near Santa Rosa, has taken
steps to effect quite radical changes in its
plans and operations. 1t was found, after
seven months experiment, that the finan-
cial problem was difficult one and that
TO go forward under the old conditions
might be fatal to the cause. Too many
members had been admitted for the land
to support. Reliance had been placed on
the ability of the colony to enter at once
on manufacturing enterprises. but the
means for the purchase of the factory
plants were not forthcoming.
Under these circumstances the colonists
have taken prompt action with view to
improve the chances of success. They de-
cided on radical readjustment of their
plans.
Some of the members joined in a new
cooperative colony in Santa Rosa. An
other portion has organized for operations
near Cloverdale on land donated for the
purpose. 1t was unanimously agreed that
third group might assume the work on
the original site. To clear the way for this
number of members were left there.
1t is believed that under this new policy
an extension of the work will result;
planting small groups here and there, all
alphabetically related and working in
general harmony.

|NCENDIARISM At COLUSA,
Narrow Escape of the Pretty
Odd Fellows Temple From
Destruction.
BY Before 1t Had Gained
Much Roadway.

COLUSA, CAL, May 29.-The magnifi-
cent temple in which Colusa Odd Fellows
make their home narrowly escaped de-
struction by fire last night. Passers-by
discovered smoke escaping from the base
ment, and the alarm was at once sounded.
The flames, which had been started by 4
gas Jet in too close proximity to the wall,
and embers from the burning woodwork
were dropping into box of waste material
underneath when the fremen entered the
basement.
The gas jet had evidently been lighted
and placed against the ornamental wood
work by an incendiary. The culprit had
then gathered lot of waste paper and
shavings and placed them under the Jet.
Had the fire not been discovered when it
was this waste would have ignited and
given Roadway to the conhagration.
The Odd Fellows Hall is one of the
prettiest buildings in Northern California.
Besides containing all the paraphernalia
and records of the order there are several
stores located in the lower floor. The dam
age that was done can be repaired at slight
expense.

Thousands Of Acres in the Rich
Portola Valley Involved in the
Litigation.

REDWOOD CITY, CAL, May 29.-The
will of the late Jose Antoine Martinez Of
Searsville, dated April 3d. 1895, will be con-
tested. In this will, Joseph Francis Greer
was appointed executor, and James T.
O'Keefe was retained as attorney for
petitioner.
In the Superior Court to-day, will dated
January %, 1894, was filed, and contest to,
the will of 1895 announced, on the ground
of undue influence. In the will just filed,
Edward F. Fitzpatrick is named as execu-
tor, and George c. Ross has been retained
as attorney for the contestant.
Jose Antoine Martinez was one of the
Oldest Spanish residents of this county.
He inherited from his father large tract
of land, comprising between 1000 and 5000
acres, lying in the Portola Valley and the
mountain district back of Searsville and
Menlo Park.

special letters of administration.

this one is the adjustment of property of
thirteen members of the tribe drowned on
the sealing schooner Walter A. Earl, sunk
on Easter Sunday. These unfortunates
are supposed to be present in the shape of
efigies, made of blankets CARRIED with the
clothing of the departed. Their widows
have their faces painted, signifying grief,
and late last night they could be heard in
the bushes at the waters edge singing
mourning songs and telling of the virtues
and great deeds of the departed.
The principle of the potlach is that after
all debts have been paid the richest men
distribute their belongings among the
tribe. Yesterday many blankets and rifles
and considerable amount of money was
given away, but to-day was the big day,
when Chief George Cheetlam impoverished
himself.
The ceremonies began at noon with a
big war dance. Ten braves, gorgeously at
tired in feathers and gay blankets, wearing
hideous wooden masks and shaking shell
rattles, danced for nearly an hour to the
chanting of squaws, who beat time on
boards laid on the ground. AT one side of
the incloshre roped off for the dance,
stood Chief Georges war canoe, which was
given away to-day. The clothing of his
wife, who died short time ago, was ar
ranged on pole standing near the canoe.
Over the dancers was suspended an
earthen pot containing $50, to be the prize
for the dancer who could bring it down
with blow from his rattle. As none sue
ceeded in knocking it down, it was tossed
into the crowd at the conclusion of the
dance, causing lively scramble for the
prize.
After giving blankets to the old men
and bright calico to the women, George
mounted shed near by the council-house
and began tossing Indian blankets into
the crowd. Immediately the shed was the
center of struggling mob. The braves
tore and cut the blankets in pieces, each
trying to get as much as possible, for these
blankets are the same as money and can
be cashed in whole or in part. Nearly 600
blankets were disposed of in this way,
and the fun lasted until evening.
Tonight sll engaged in feast, and to-
morrow visiting tribes will embark in their
big canoes and paddle home.

SEIZURE OF THE SHELBY,
The British Sealer Arrives in
Victoria in Charge of a
Prize Crew.
Three SchoonerS Are Boarded by
the Bear and Rush and Their
Arms Sealed.

VICTORIA, B. c., May 29.-The schooner
Shelby, Captain Clausen, seized by the
United States cutter Corwin, arrived this
morning. The Shelby was boarded on
May II off Queen Charlotte Island by Cap
tain Hooper of the Corwin. A prize crew
was placed on board and the schooner was
taken to Sitka and handed over to III. NJ. S.
Pheasant, the captain of which ordered
her to Victoria.
The schooner was seized because her
arms were not sealed, the captain of the
Corwin not knowing that Great Britain
had refused to renew the regulations re-
garding the sealing of arms. Captain
Clausen says he has not been sealing since
the close of the season. There is a ones
ton as to whether the Shelby will have a
claim against the United States Govern
ment for illegal seizure. Clausen thinks
he has, but others say the fact that the
Pheasant recognized the seizure exempts
the United States from a claim for dam
ages.
The schooners Victoria Ainoke and Kate
were boarded by the United States cutters
Bear and Rush, but not seized. The cap
tains simply sealed their arms and ordered
them to Victoria. A report current here
is that the schooner Mary Taylor has been
seized. Officials say they believe the ru-
NOR, but will not say which schooner was
seized

attempt was made early yesterday morn
ing to blow up the saloon of Frank Lewis.
A dynamite cartridge was exploded in a
water-trough just outside of the saloon.
The trough was blown to pieces and two
holes torn in the side of the building. A
large piece of the trough was thrown 20
feet, across the street, and struck the front
door of Joseph Borge's fruitstore. but not
with sufficient force to do any damage.
There is no definite clew to the perpe-
traitors, but suspicion rests on a man who
has had some trouble with Lewis. The ex-
plosion took place soon after midnight,
and startled the entire city. 1t is surpris-
ing that more damage was not done, as the
building stood in thickly settled part of
town, houses lining both sides of the
street.
The family of Lewis was asleep within
40 feet of the place where the explosion
took place, but though badly frightened no
one was injured. The proprietor himself
was sleeping in another part of the build
ing, and did not hear the report.

Los ANGELES CTcLERs Parade.

a Monster Demon trdtion In the Interest
of Better Thoroughbred.
LOS ANGELES, CAL, May 29-Wheel-
men and wheelwomen of Southern Cali
fornia tonight made a demonstration in
favor of good roads by grand illuminated
parade. Not less than 1000 wheels were in
line, embracing every pattern from the
old-fashioned ordinary star and eagle to
the latest model of safety racers.
Every wheel was decorated with Chinese
lanterns, the vehicles being specially rugged
with masts, spars and jibbooms, like ships,
from which lanterns were pendant. The
procession was over mile in length, the
line of march leading through the princi-
pal thoroughfares and residence streets.
The Chamber of Commerce building was
brilliantly illuminated in honor of the
event and to show the sympathy of that
organization with the wheelmen in their
agitation in favor of good roads.
Some of the handsome residences on
fashionable Figueroa and Adams streets
and around St. James Park were also
illuminated in honor of the occasion.
The streets were thronged with specta-
tors, who cheered the beautiful pageant as
it passed by. The scene on Figueroa street
was picturesque as the hundreds of illumin-
ated wheels swept down the broad avenue
S. H. Laverty, editor of Pacific Field,
acted as grand marshal and managed the
affair successfully. A platoon of police on
wheels, led by Captain Roberts, rode at
the head of the procession to clear the
streets. Wheelmen from other Southern
California towns participated. The new
woman was out in force
