A UNIQUE Process.

A unique method is lately described as
introduced in England for manufacturing
freproof celluloid simply from the spent
fbers from paper-mills. The process is
simple-that is, as described, the pulp,
consisting of fibers collected from washing
water of the paper-mill, is subjected to the
action of certain chemicals which reduces
it to glutlnous state. and it is then sent
through centrifugal pump which gives it
an even substance, any shade of color be-
ing impaired to it at the same time by the
use of anifine dyes. After this it is strained
through flannel into square boxes, in a
short time assuming an almost solid con-
sistency. In this state the celluloid can be
cut into slices or nodded when the compo-
sition is in liquid condition. The SUBJ
stance thus formed is asserted to be per-
fectly safe, and it is proposed to make
from it printing surfaces for illustrations,
for stereotyping, and to utilize it for vari-
Gus purposes as substitute for other ma
terials now employed.-New York Sun.

DR.. DILLE'S PRELUDE.
PRESIDING ELDER CoYLE OCCUPIED
HIS PULPIT LAST EVENING.

The Central Methodist Episcopal Church
was crowded last evening. Some people
expected to hear Rev. DR.. Ollie give utter
ance to sentiments regarding corruption in
this city, but they were disappointed, as it
was the evening for Presiding Elder Coyle
to occupy the pulpit of that church.
DR.. Ollie, in his prelude. spoke Of some
of the happenings of the week, but did not
refer to his Summing trip or the libel suit
threatened him by Police Commissioner
Tobin. He said: "The Police Department
of this city is honeycombed with corrup-
ton. Still, in the personnel of the police
force there are many honest men who have
not been besmirched. Not only q large
part OF the police force is corrupt, but even
part of the judiciary of this city has come
under the baneful influence of corruption. :"
DIR. Ollie then spoke of the trip of 112
citizens of San Francisco, who went to Sac
ramento to exert their influence in behalf
of the Lexow bill. He claimed the men
saved the bill from being thrown into the
wastebasket of the Judiciary Committee.
He went on to say that he now believed
the city would soon have non-partisan
committee which would sit here with
power to summon witnesses, place them
under oath and compel them to answer
questions. He paid a high tribute to At
torney-General fitzgerald, who would act
as the prosecuting officer in case the bill
passes.
Presiding Elder Coyle's sermon was on
"Liberty." He said: ''To be truly free is
not to be reckless of the laws of nature or
society. You must not override others or
be Incorporate in personal habits. If you
do you will find yourself soon in Jail or in
sick bed. The spirit then to be free must
be brought into harmony with the Lord.
Where the spirit of the Lord is there is
liberty. Only there is the condition to
enjoy the highest and greatest liberty"
The audience was asked to sign long pc
titions which were placed on tables at the
entrance to the church. The petitions
were addressed to the Senators and Assem-
blymen in the Legislature and asked them
to vote in favor of the LeXOM bill

INDIVIDUAL REFORM.
IT Is THE SECRET OF MUNICIPAL
REGENERATION ~

Rev. Robert Mackenzie delivered "a lee
ture to young men of the Young Mems
Christian Association yesterday afternoon
upon the part they should take in the
movements for reform. He said in part:
every day has it's peculiarities. The
popularity of to-day is reform. Nearly
every city in the Union from New York
here is agitated over reform. Meetings are
being held, committees and grand iuries
are being appointed-all for reform You
are not of a race to stand by as idle spec
tators. What can you do? The demand
for reform is like a thunder storm in the
air. The lightning from the sky in a thun-
der storm may strike tree and not burn
it or injure it in any way unless there is a
current of electricity from the earth to
come up and meet it. All this popular
clamor and public meetings are very neces-
sary, but will be as useless as Fourth of
July fireworks unless there is electricity
coming up from our consciences to meet it.
"Reform will not come from legislation,
from police Investigations, nor from grand
juries. 1t is for the individuals to. work
the reform in themselves. What can you
do to add to the electric spark that comes
from below to meet that from above
There is a responsibility on us and it
behooves US to think of it. The mission
given to our race when God chose us for
his people is not accomplished. What
you should fight is not wicked men but
wickedness. The trouble in the present
movement is that they are thinking more
of persons than of principles. Personalities
should not be considered. Can you not
make distinction between drunken man
and drunkenness?

WHAT IS REDEMPTION7
THE Rev. LESLIE w. SPRAGUE SAYS
IT Is Nor MIRACULOUS.

Rev. Leslie w. Sprague, pastor of the
Second Unitarian Church, preached yester-
day morning on the subject Redemption. ~
He gave what he termed the common
sense view of this theological word, divid-
ing the theme into three parts-redemp-
ton from what, by whom and how? Sin is
only broken law, he said, not violation
of church DEGREES or biblical precepts, but
of the law of life, so that redemption must
be from the penalty of the violated law of
life.
Redemption comes about through the
effort of man himself, aided by the
strength of God and stimulated by the
example of Jesus. There is nothing mi
raculous about it. Jesus takes no part
that cannot be filled by any other ideal of
human perfection which can inspire men
to action and fill them with faith that God
will help them.
The method of redemption is not found
in fleeing to Christ, as it is called, but in
going back over the wrong that has been
done and making compensation as far as
possible.
Mr.. Sprague developed the fact that
nature heals the diseases Of material
things and maintained that the same is
true in the spiritual realm, so that as the
oyster mending his shell creates the
precious pearl, so our souls, wounded
in the conflict OF the surging waves OF
life's unresting sea, will, with purpose and
Gods grace, make themselves whole and
create the pearls of great price which shall
adorn the breast of this bosom of God
upon which we lie.
The morning call., 1895-02-18

REV. William H. Moreland preached to a
large congregation at ST. Luke's Church
yesterday from the text, 'The Old Is Bet
ter''
He said: Gwen those who admire the
comprehensiveness of the Episcopal
church fail sometimes to understand why
it is straitlaced about the ministry and
are tempted to call it narrow and exclu-
sive, because it will not exchange pulpits
with the ministers of all denominations.
The reason does notlie in a naughty or
exclusive spirit on the part Of the Episco-
pal church, but because it looks upon the
three-fold order Of Bishops, priests and
deacons as original, permanent and un-
changeable features of Christianity. She
looks upon herself humbly as trustee or
guardian of deposit of faith and order
committed by Christ to the church.
''She has the whole past of Christianity
to fortify her conviction, for it is an undis-
puted fact that up to 800 years ago ordina-
ton was administered by Bishops only,
and this was universal in all Christendom.
"At the reformation most Protestant
communions relinquished that usage, for
reasons satisfactory to themselves. This
church chose to retain it. Where then, is
the exclusiveness. They have changed
the custom, not we. The Episcopal church
passes no condemnation on any ministry.
But for herself she chooses to stand fast in
the ancient order and says to those who
offer innovations, No, thank you, for the
old is better
Gone of the evil consequences that have
followed the forsaking of the old rule is the
splintered state of Christendom. In the
midst of confusion and sectarianism the
Episcopal church thinks the best way is to
follow the old usage-find fault with no
one and go straight forward. She is not
moved by. pride, but by principle. She
contends for one united church for the
United States, instead of myriad of de-
nominations which seem capable of in
finite subdivision.
1.-The Episcopal church holds the priest
hood as divine gift, SO she cannot make
her ministry a matter of compliment.
Personal character and official station are
not to be confused. There may be as many
wise men outside the California Legis-
lature as are in it, but only those who con-
stitute that body can make the laws. How
would it look if our Circuit Judge should
make his bow to some Philadelphia law
yer who happened to be present and insist
on his presiding over the court? Our
pulpits and affairs are open to all who can
show that they possess title to the same.
This plan protects the people from hear
ing false doctrine, and preserves the his
toric continuity of the Church of Christ
from generation to generation"

THE NEW WOMAN.
What May Occur If She Continues to
Rival Man.

Rival Man.
If the human race is to endure and if
civilization is to advance the relations be-
tween the sexes must not permanently be
relations of rivalry. Men and women were
not made to struggle with one another for
the advantages of life. but mutually to aid
one another in reaping those advantages.
That "sweet love" of which the poet
speaks is given as the reward of right rela-
tons between man and woman and,
where other guidance is lacking, we NAV
protitably ask whether any given line of
conduct tends to the gaining or the sac
rifcing of that reward. If to the former,
then it may safely be said to be right con-
duct; if to the latter, wrong.
What it is clear that man has to do in
these later days is to frame to himself
higher and completer ideal of manhood
than he has hitherto on the whole enter
tanned, and try to live up to it. The
awakened womanhood of the age-when
allowance has been made for all that is
hySterical and morbid and heartless in
contemporary feminine utterances-sum-
mons him most clearly and distinctly to
walk henceforth on higher levels in the
strength of nobler self-control. Then he
has to recognize in the fullest sense, with
out a particle of reservation, that he has
in woman not a weaker shadow of him
sell, uOJ d TeHeCUlOn OF MS glory nor
minister to his pleasures, but a divinely
bestowed helpmeet, to whom special
powers and faculties have been impart ed
for the Interpretation of truth and the
beautifying of life.
The ancient Germans, Tacitus tells us,
used to recognize certain divine power of
intuition in their women, and if they did
it was probably not without cause. The
phenomenon is not an extinct one IN our
own day, and we venture to say that its
frequency will wax or wane according to
the respect paid not by man only, but by
woman herself, to all in her nature that is
most distinctive of womanhood. 1t is far
from certain that woman always recog-
nizes what her own best gifts are; and
there is, in our opinion a specific danger
lest, in her newborn zeal for masculine
equipment of knowledge, she relegate to
an inferior place that III native truth Of per,
may almost say, than all formal knowl-
edge.-Popular Science Monthly.
The morning call., 1895-02-18

force and energy of society are being spent
at the present time to punish crime. 1t
would be better to prevent crime. The
preacher gave instances of the great ex-
pense to the State in trying and Furnishing
CRIMINALS. He spoke of the bills before the
Legislature dealing with cigarettes, the age
OF consent for girls, and the uniform liquor
license, and called attention to the stand
being taken by some legislators against the
side advocated by the better class of
people.
He said that if the best element OF the
city would combine they could effect an
incalcuiable amount of good: Decency
has some rights the vicious are compelled
to respect. Decency pays taxes and has
many rights. If God would only anoint
the mem bers of the congregation for such
eyangehstlc work what great reformation
there would be in San Francisco.
Next Sunday evening the subject of Rev.
A. Z. Hirst's remarks will be: 1.-THE Sal
walton of the City," 1t will be one of the
most important sermons of the course
which he is delivering.
AT the close of the services last evening
petitions were passed 20 the congregation
with the request that every one sign, get
all his friends to sign, and then give them
to the Civic Federation. The petitions
ask the legislators at Sacramento to vote
In favor of the "Lexow bill"
