From this it will be seen that by far the
cheapest way to reach any of these points
is by the steamer route, and as the South
ern Pacific depends largely on its local
tratfic-that to and between intern ediate
points on the line from here to Portland
to make up the losses on through traffic
this last move of the enemy may call forth
a retaliatory cut by the Southern Pacific.
Speaking of the situation yesterday, H.
R. Judah said that the advance in rates by
tie Southern Pacific that is to go into
effect on the 30th from this City and on
the 29th from Portland, was not to be COR
strued as in any degree showing weakness
on the part of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, or that it portended an early end to
the war. He added that the present situa-
ton might be merely the beginning of a
more determined contest, and that SO far
as he had information there was no truce
in sight.

DEMPSEY NOT FORGOTTEN,
A Grand Benefit Will Be Given
His Wife Friday
Evening.
Famous Pugilists and Wrestlers Who
Will Appear on This
Occasion.

The sport-loving public are reminded
that the international benefit to Mrs. ].
Dempsey and children will be held at the
Peoples Palace Theater on Friday even
ing. 1t goes without saying that the house
will be packed with people who are at oil
times anxious to witness first class all
round athletic performance, and on this
occasion the exception will not be the rule
by any means.
Every sporting man in this City and
State remembers the once famous "Nonpa-
reil' as being one of the few champions of
the prize ring who could not be approached
by the most cunning of gamblers with
temper" to betray his friends by allow
ing an opponent to defeat him. Dempsey,
although a man who spurned all illusions
to himself when praise was mentioned re-
garding his performances, once related an
incident which is familiar to some of the
admirers of fsticuffs in this City and it is
as follows:
II was training for certain fight in the
East Just about the time when was in the
ascendancy." said Dempsey, "when one of
the shrewdest gamblers then known to the
fraternity OF pugilists approached me one
day just as l was resting after hard fistic
controversy with a punching-bag. Well,
if there lived fairy tempter, this fellow
must have been one of the ilk. He was the
smoothest taker had ever met up to that
time. After beating around the bush for
several minutes he certainly concluded
that he had me in his web, and / smiled
inwardly-if that expression is permissi-
ble-at what l knew was soon to come.
"Now. Jack, said he, there is nothing
in it for you to whip this fellow, referring
to my opponent. and if you will only ''go
out" by the easy route you can make
few thousands just as easy as rolling off a
log Strange to relate, the fellow was sit
ting on log when he made this sweet and
decidedly tempting offer, but stung by the
remark, l let him have a bunch of fives on
the nose. Over he went sprawling on the
grass, and as he regained his pins he
looked .daggers at me as the blood was
streaming from his nasal appendage.
"'Say, Jack, / guess deserved what you
gave me, said he, but the best of US are
sometimes mistaken in our man and this
is the first time l went wrong in guessing
what pugilist was out for ,"
pugilist with record like that which
Dempsey carried to his grave is worthy of
the consideration of all lovers of fisticuffs
who appreciate good, honorable sport,
and there can be no doubt that the good
wife of the past champion middle-weight
OF the world will be the recipient of
handsome sum realized from the enter
tainment of Friday evening.
young" Mitchell and his brother, Need
ham and Geogan will open the fistic ex-
hibition in four-cornered set-to, and the
grand programme of fisticuffs will termi-
nate with four round bout between Nc

ETHICS OF IMMORTALITY.

j. j. Morse Of London Speaks Before
the California Psychical Society.
il. Morse of London, England, lectured
in the Odd Fellows Hall Sunday night be-
fore the California Psychical Society upon
"The Doctrine of Immortality; Problem
in Ethics"
He dealt with the influence of heridity
and environment in shaping character,
and laid particular stress upon forces an
tecedent to birth that determine what the
individual temperament shall be like.
His explanations were calculated to show
that man has an after life to which he car
ries all the distinctive mental character
istics aud marks of individ uality and in
telligence that stamp him with person
atty in this life. The physical man and
his mode of dress would not be preserved.
but what was behind these eternal features
would forever remain as Distinguishing
traits of the individual. The conscious
ness, the intelligence and the individual
ity would survive
Continuing, the speaker said:
"No system of morals will ever be
adequate to deal with the character of man
that does not deal with the man before he
was born. Moral as well as physical
characteristics are transmitted from parent
to child. Man should not be producer of
his kind unless be can feel that his off
spring may bless and not curse their
fellows.
Whatever your condition after death,
it will be the absolute result OF what you
were when you were here. Man should
build his heaven upon earth and make Of
his ompanions angels. In God he should
find heaven, and he should recognize the
divinity Of God in man and in nature"

schools, wearing their peculiar religious garb
aud the well-known and deep-seated opposi-
ton OF the Jesuits to our system OF National
education.
The second theory is that the pressure from
disinterested Catholic citizens upon the old
policy of opposition to the public schools be-
came so great that the leaders OF that church
were compelled to yield point in favor OF a
free education.
1t is earnestly hoped that in spite of the
Jesuits this will give new character 10 the
Catholic citizen in America. 1t is not pre-
tended OH the part of those holding this theory
that Catholicism has undergone change OF
heart but that it is a change of policy, in order
to prevent general revolt from the Catholic
church. Those disposed to this view of the
seeming friendliness of the Catholic church
base the hope on the following considerations:
Light will change even the spots on leopard.
1t is believed that it will change his spirit.
Thousands of Catholic children are being edu-
Gated in the public schools, mingling with
Protestant influences. Many Catholic teachers
freely associate with Protestant teachers, read
history and political science from entirely an
American standpoint. Catholic parents find
that no harm has come to their children from
attending the public schools.
1t is too soon TO give an opinion of value, but
there is no reasonable doubt but that the Cath
OllC CulluTeu euuCdlcu III the puDllC SbuOOiS hIc
superior in scholarship to those educated in
the parochial schools. These things being
true it is not unreasonable to expect that the
Catholic teachers and children will be num-
bered among the friends OF the public schools.
They will be modified Catholics. Their con-
sciences will be enlightened, and the priest
will no longer hold them in religious bondage.
Suppose, however, that the first theory is the
true one-that this whole moveme Mt is deep
laid plot to overthrow the public schools-it
does not follow that it will succeed. Even the
devil sometimes CT osses himself and brings his
own schemes to naught.
The very reason that the Catholic church
held aloof from the schools so long is still
valid. 1t has been the contention all along
that the public schools would either Kill or
cure the Catholic church of its absurdities.
The change will probably DE slow. But the
public schools are now put upon new test.
Will they make the Catholic citizen homo
geneous? IT is only fair to all parties that the
schoolteachers be unhampered by any party.
Despite the fact that Rome claims that she
never changes she is human, and it must be
confessed that some very remarkable changes
have recently taken place among her followers.

all fear OF neutrality-suspicious. and urge one to
make GODS hand clear 10 those who are willing
to see and point out to them the way to that
happier and fairer future.
"What, then, has brought about this most de-
plorable state Of things? How can we account
for this apparent lack OF faith and strength on
the part of Catholics? Can it be true, as their
enemies assert, that Catholicity, wherever 1t
has full sway, deteriorates society? Or is 1T
contrary to the spirit of Christianity that
Christians should strive with all their might
to overcome evil in this world? Perhaps the
Catholic church has grown old, others i'm
agine, and has accomplished her task, and is
no longer competent to unite together the con-
f1icting interests OF modern society and direct
it toward its true destination? These questions
are most serious ones. Their answers must be
fraught with most weignty lessons Only
meager outline of the course OF argument can
be here given in so vast e field OF fnvest1ga-
ton"
Now the reader has the full section word for
word. Wherein have misquoted or misrepre-
sented the author? / said Father Hecker de-
plores the sorry condition of Romanism in all
Countries And "He asks why arc these things
so? What has BROUGHT about this deplorable
state of things?" Ny answer was: 'The light
has come and the darkness is fleeing away.
The day of monarchies and relationships and
priestly rule has come to a close"
We leave it to an intelligent .and discrim-
mating public to determine who is guilty OF
misrepresentation in this matter.
Wishing everybody the compliments OF the
season and looking for the time when light and
truth shall fill the whole earth, and supersti-
ton and darkness shall have fed away, leave
my critic to the tender mercies of the reading
public, who, no doubt, will cherish the fond
hope that personally he, himself, is much more
to be respected than the unprincipled methods
he uses to prop up the crumbling errors OF
Romanism, which are lettering and ready to
fall. WEsTwooD WRIGHT CASE.

several years ago. She was then Miss Au-
