HOME FROM GUATEMALA.

Return to San Francisco of George W.
Phelps and Henry Marshall.
George W. Phelps, who resigned the po-
sition of trainmaster on the Coast Division
of the Southern Pacific last June, to &C
cept the superintendeney OF the Occidental
Railroad, from Champerico to San Felipe,
Guatemala, returned from that country on
the City of Sydney. Henry Marshall, who
subsequently went to Guatemala and be-
came general ticket agent of the Occidental
road, has also returned. The fevers, the
daily fare and the discomforts of life in.
that region impeiled them to abandon the
plan OF permanent residence in Guatemala.
The road which Mr.. Phelps superintended
seems to be good property, according to
him. Its net earnings during the past year
exceeded 500, 1000, amounting to nearly 100
per cent: The length of the road is forty
two miles. The equipment consists of
BALDWIN engines and cars manufactured in
California. The country trayersed by the
road is beautiful throughout. Forests,
streams and cultivated plantations lend
picturesque charm to the region.
Mr.. Phelps brought home many speci.
mems OF Mexican and Guatemalan pottery,
to be given to friends. He also brought a
machete for Nat Britain.
While Mr.. Phelps received munifcent
salary as compensation is there calculated,
ne was compelled to pay $500 in silver for
$2UO OF exchange payable in gold. The
planters IN Guatemala make considerable
profit in raising coffee. They pay for the
labor OF cultivation in silver and sell the

If Chicago Came to Christ.

There are a good many people who
would feel lonesome if Chicago came to
Christ. There are people who believe the
city wouldn't do business, that it would be
dead town. If Chicago should come to
Christ she would bring more enterprise,
more brain, more heart than has ever at
one time been given to our Lord. What
would she leave behind? Sixty-five hun
dred saloons, 10000 men who are directly
engaged in the retail liquor business. but
$50, 100000 would be saved annually to
bless the homes. If Chicago should come
to Christ gambling would be thing of
the past. If Chicago should come to
Christ she would bring 10000 women
who grope shuddering at the gates of
night. Each year it is estimated that
1000 girls and women die in this city as
the results of dissipation and sin. Their
collins, allowing six feet for each, would
make continuous line for four and half
miles. Of course, if Chicago should come
to Christ she would save this sorrow, crime
and death.-Rev. W. NJ. Smith, Chicago, LII.

TO SOUTH AFRICAN MINES.

r. NJ. CatIin, the Mining Engineer, Con-
cludes an Important Contract.
Within the past few days r. M. Catlin,
a well-known mining engineer of this City,
has concluded fveyear contract with
John Hayes Hammond, the consulting
engineer of the Consolidated Gold Field
Company of South Africa (Limited). He
leaves next Saturday for Johannesburg
via London, where he will be permanently
placed in charge of one of the large mining
properties now under Mr.. Hammond's
management.
Mr.. Catlin, who has for the last six years
been the manager of large mines at Tusca-
of mining celebrity on this coast who have
entered into contract with the South
African Company at very large salaries for
a term of wears Among those who have
already preceded him are w. I. st. Auburn,
Harry 81. Webb, John Harrington, Thomas
Fl. Leggett and Edwin III. Garthuist.
Mr. Catlin said last night: THE state
ments which I have received from reliable
authorities as to the development of the
South African gold mining properties are
simply marvellous, and If for the future
the increase in the production of gold
keeps pace with that OF the past, the record
of South Africa as a gold-bearing country
will make an unequaled record in the
worlds history. That the reports are reli-
able is evidenced blythe increased favor with
which the mining properties are regarded
by investors and by the large number OF
expert men which are constantly being
taken from positions OF prominence, both
here and abroad, to superintend IN the
management of the work there"

Men and Angels.

There is greater dignity in being man
than in being an angel. His relations are
nearer, and the dignity conferred on him
is higher than that conferred on an angel.
Hence, to be a man means being next to
God himself. A man is not an imitation.
A man is not a two-legged animal. as the
Philosopher Plato once defined him: but a
man is the friend of God, possessing the

glory and honor-one who thinks, reasons.

THE RICHMOND DISTRICT.
Gem eterieS and Bay District
Tract Still Bones of Con-
tentiOn.
A New Improvement Club, Com
posed Of Property-O Owners Only,
to Be Formed.

The graveyard or the raeetrack2 Shall
the former give way to the latter? These
questions are LETT for the citizens of the
Richmond district to answer. That part
of the City has been in the throes of strife
over these questions for more than year.
The facts seem to be that large and
very respectable element of the citizens of
the Richmond district are and for some
time past have been actively IN favor of
the removal of the cemeteries. which for
merly marked the boundaries of the City in
that direction.
The Bay District racetrack continues to be
a bone of contention among the citizens of
Richmond.
One faction wants the cemeteries re-
moved. while others are Indifferent. A
very large number of property-owners be-
yond the racetrack want the streets
opened up through that portion of the
people living there desire the racetrack to
remain, claiming that it affords a source OF
income.
The factions have been heretofore push
ing their views before various organize
tons formed for that purpose. Charles II.
Hubbs, who has been working with a
number of others in favor of retaining the
racetrack, has favored the removal of the
cemeteries. The people favoring the re-
tention of the cemeteries, among whom
may be mentioned George R. Fletcher,
argue that if it be in any sense necessary
for the cemeteries to go, the same rea-
sons should apply with equal force to the
racetrack.
Fletcher succeeded in pulling over to
his side sufficient number of the race
track men to nullify any action being taken
in the Richmond improvement Associ-
alton against the cemeteries.
Hubbs took umbrage at the action of the
men of the racecourse in this matter and
resigned his position as president of that
organization.
]. II. Bond, editor of the Richmond Ban
ner, stated yesterday that new club may
be formed in the near future, through
which the real sentiment of the property
owners of the district would be made
known on these important questions.
at is rumored," he said, ''that none
but property-owners will be eligible to
mem bership in the new club"
By this means the citizens hope to ar
rive at some plan of action by which the
interests of that section of the City may be
expressed. 1t is expected that this new
organization will have for its central idea
the removal of the cemeteries, but the re.
tention of the racetrack.

Political Campaigns.

Long and bitter political agitations are
not favorable to the development of moral
and spiritual virtues in the people, because
they disturb the public mind. unbalance
moral poise and equanimity and breed
strife and hatred. Among the worst of
these are class antipathies. Prejudices are
developed between people in country and
town, animosities which crop, out even in
ton in work for religious and educational
enterprises difficult Public opinion is un-
settled and respect for law and order is
broken down and the door opened in
crlme.-R Rev. c. s. Gardener, Baptist,
