The Vice of Lying.

1t is astonishing how frequently we
meet with those in whom lying seems
to be so inherent a vice that .they
scarcely ever speak the simple truth,
and who, as matter of course, obtain
the name of being notorious liars, and
yet they are shallow enough to affirm
that they pride themselves on their
character for veracity. This would
seem so absurd as to appear incredible,
were it not known to be true.
A liar is, of necessity, compound
of vanity, false pride, conceit and every
other mean feeling. This vice is gen.
orally discovered in those who have a
strong desire to be roguish, yet rarely
possess the ability to carry any viii
liany through without detection and
its penalty.
Consider first, the wretched conceit
of liars in supposing themselves clever
enough to invent stories so ingenious,
that they shall, for the time, impose
them on people for the truth: and their
still grosser folly in imagining. as they
must, that the world, more shrewd, more
cunning, and as prying as themselves,
will, without investigation, take for
granted anything they choose to assert
what conceited fools they must be
How superior over others in cunning
must they believe themselves, What
dupes must they not suppose the rest
of mankind How ignorant of othel
peoples capabilities of judging cor
rectly do not liars prove themselves
Liars should reflect on this.
Consider the despicable pride which
prompts a person to adulterate al
ounce of truth with 100 lbs. of false
hood; weaving it into an unsubstantia
fabric, the flimsiness and shOddiness O
which the least inexperienced person
of common sense may discover. An(
when the truth comes to light, oh wha
fall is there
Some people carry falshood througl
every action of their unhappy lives
, Yes, through lives made unhappy b
, doubts as to whether their stories ar
believed; by fears of the continual eS
posure to which their career of decei
, is liable.
Now, after viewing the contemptibl'
, insignificant liar, let us look at tn
} black hearted liar; the deep-dye
scoundrel, who, conscious of deceivin
r us, is continually assuring us he

Let it not be supposed that by the
word society, mean only that portion
of it, which the daily and weekly press
chronicles the doings of; this is not my
meaning; society here means, the whole
of the social community among which
we have to live, the community that
have the power in their hands to en-
courage evil, or to suppress it. by the
census of 1890, we learn that there are
no less than S3329 prisoners confined in
the county jails and penal institutions
of the United States, or to put it plain
er, the prison population exceeds the
entire population OF the cities Of Du-
luth, MankatO, saltwater, Redwing, st.
Cloud, Faribault, and Winona, as given
by the same census report. For this
sad condition of things l have in my
last paper assigned four principal
causes, viz: Unrestricted emigration,
low dive saloons, carrying concealed
weapons, and gambling hells. With
the first Of these causes society has lit
tie to do except in bringing pressure to
bear on the National Government to
investigate even more fully than they
do at present, the character of those
aliens who seek to come over and make
their living on our shores. But with
the second, third and fourth of these
causes, society has all and everything
in their power.
Second cause: The low dive saloon
Now I am not going to moralize or
prohibition, temperance, or high or low
license, however desirable they may be
but am going to speak of things a:
they are now; and leave society at large
to jndge whether it is wiser to leave
them as the are or to remedy the evil
In every city, or town, and in almos
!; every village, there are more saloons
, than any other business houses in pro
portion to population. Some of thes
. saloons are conducted by men VIII
: conform to the laws, enforce order AM
: decency, and prohibit gaming on thei
l premises. This is not what I mean b
the low dive saloon. Walk down thi
: side street with me and see what lo1
, dive saloon is. Here is one. We ca

"PATIENCE" FOR CHARITY.
The Esthetie Opera Presented by
Amateurs.
st. Johns Church Choral Society Gave a
Brilliant Entertainment in the
Standard Theater.

A very pretty representation of PA
tience" was given Tuesday evening at the
Standard Theater by the Choral Society of
st. Johns Church, who were assisted by
clever amateurs.
"Patience'iis pretty under any circum-
stances, but Patience" for charity can be
brilliant, which, indeed, it proved to be
last night in the hands of cultured anna
teurs under the direction of Henry Kirke
White Jr. 1t was presented with a nice
feeling for the lackadaisical spirit of the
opera, and quite tunefully withal. The
old theater was filled with fashionable
audience that appreciated the performance
thoroughly.
The part of Patience was taken by Miss
Lillian Hester. She fitted the role excellent
ly, making charming little dairymaid who
could MARBLE her lays without affectation
and who had just sufficient chic to make
her work pleasing. DR.. E. H. Bertaud was
the idyllic poet, Archibald Grosvenor, and
carried himself well throughout. When
he sang the popular duet "Prythee, Pretty
Maiden" with Miss Hester he won rounds
of applause. Reginald Bunthorne, the
feshly poet, was admired not only by the
lovesick maidens, but by the whole house
for his acting and singing.
The other characters were agreeably car
RED and gave evidence of careful intelli-
gent training. The cast was as follows:
Reginald Bunthorne, a leshly poet, F. w.
Hosmer; Archibald Grosvenor, an idyllic
poet, DR.. e. H. Bertaud; Mr.. Bunthorne's
solicitor, F. G. Schernstein; Colonel Cal
verley, Major Morgatroyd, Lieutenant
Duke of Dunstable (officers of dragon
guards) Fenton P. Foster, c. L. Parent Jr.,
F. II. Lombard; chorus of dragons; the
Lady Angela, the Lady Saphir, the Lady
Ella, the Lady Jane (rapturous maidens),
Miss Emma L. Kreling, Miss Leo Won Wei
elsburg, Miss Lydia Hester, Mrs. c. L.
Parent Jr.; Patience, a dairymaid, Miss
Lillian Hester; chorus of maidens.
The chorus was composed of the follow
ing amateur singers: Miss Marguerite
Hester, Miss Mollie Hind Miss Helen
Hosmer, the Misses Minnie and Jennie
Flack, Miss Hubbard, Miss Jessie Stone,
Miss Helen Noble, Miss Annie Fray, the
Misses Charlotte, Myrie and Rebecca
Rowen, Miss Edith Rhind Miss Beatrice

B. Remmel, ]. S. Hall, L. E. Mcclellan, P.
and L. Thorn, w. Williams and Messrs.
McDermott, Mel and Gillious
A full orchestra, directed by Professor
Hinrichs, accompanied the singers.
The opera was given in aid of st. Johns
Church fund. 1t was brilliantly staged
with view to beautiful effects in the en-
semble scenes and in costumes and proved
a grand success.

4 MYSTERIOUS WOMAN.
Nightly She StartleS the Residents Near
LOrin.
Belated Pedestrians Meet Her Often, but
Thus Far She Has Not Been
Recognized.

The residents of the district lying be-
tween Temescal and Berkeley are discuss
ing mystery which the police have been
called upon to unravel. The mystery is a
strange woman who for some time past has
been patroling the district at all hours of
night, frightening all who come in contact
with her by her strange attire and actions.
a young man named Clawson, living in
Lorin, had an adventure with the woman
at 1 o'clock last Thursday morning. He
was returning home from the theater, and
after leaving the train went up Alcatraz
avenue toward Shattuck avenue. He was
approaching the avenue when he noticed a
figure advancing toward him. He at first
thought it was a man, but as the figure
neared him he saw that it was woman.
"Her appearance alarmed me-" said he,
frankly. 81 stopped and asked her where
she was going.
"She stopped at this and looking around
remarked that she was going 10 Oakland.
l told her the cars had stopped running
and that if she didn't look out for herself
she might catch cold.
"'I want to die, anyhow answered she,
with sort of sob, as she ran off.
On Sunday night last the motorman of
graph avenue with the main line for pas
sengers noticed strange figure in a ditch
on one side of the track. He made one or
two trips past the object and after close
scrutiny saw that the object was woman
half dressed and bareheaded. He stopped
his car and hailed her. She appeared to
be praying and paid no attention to his
shout. The motorman says:
81 hailed her again and asked her what
she was doing in the ditch. She replied
that she was praying for the world. I told
her to get out of the mud and water and
finally she rose and went away"
Yesterday morning when a reporter
boarded the AlcatraZ- avenue car at Lorin
he was informed by the motorman that the
mysterious woman had been seen at
Pennies plumbing shop, short distance
from Lorin station. The car was stopped
in front of Pennies shop, and in the door
way stood a woman of medium size. Her
figure was thrown out in bold relief in the
glare of the electric light, and when she
became aware that she was being observed
she placed her hands over her face. She
was scantily clothed and her arms were
bare to the shoulder. Her long hair hung
loosely down her back and she appeared
to be shoeless.
''There she goes" said the motorman.
The stoppage of the car had evidently
alarmed the woman, and leaving her place
OF shelter she dashed across the avenue
and jumped the fence into John Poirier's
field. That was the last seen of her.

CITY HALL COMMISSION.
The Legislature to Be Asked to Order
Another Levy.

The City Hall Commission again consid-
cred the question of another levy for the
completion of the City Hall yesterday.
The architect was asked by Mayor Sutro
what was his estimate of the money re-
CURED to put on a permanent roof The
architect replied that new iron roof
would cost about 100000 but the present
roof could be reconstructed and the ventl-
lating tlues carried up to the required dis
lance for $4,000.
The Mayor was in favor of doing with
the present roof which he said would be
good for twenty years. He thought there
was no occasion for an expensive iron roof,
down to give place to another story when
more room was required in the hail.
Commissioner Creswell said he had
drawn up bill for submission to the Legis-
lature providing for the winding up of the
affairs of the commission when there was
no more work to be done.
Mayor Sutro said it was time the City
Hall was completed and the commission
dissolved.
The board ordered passed to print a
progress estimate of the dome contractors,
O'Connell & Lewis, calling for the payment
of $7649.
The last extension of time given to the
contractors will expire on February 10, but
another extension will be asked for, as not
one-third of the dome has been finished.
There is a penalty attached to the contract
of $3.50 day for default in the erection.
The dome will not be completed for many
months.

All Are Seriously Considering the Lat
est Plan for Harmony.
The insurance war may be at an end be-
fore this week draws to close, and rates
will be once again on firm foundation.
At least such is the belief of managers and
agents, though rates were cut yesterday as
much as so per cent by some companies.
The local managers of British companies
held meeting IN the morning, but did no
more than express a fraternal feeling with
regard to rates, and also assurances of good
faith under the proposed union of all man
ayers.
For three hours in the afternoon a ma
jority of local managers were in session in
the rooms of the old Pacific Insurance
Union.
Probably the most significant feature of
this meeting, was the presence of G. f.
Mullins of the Commercial Union Com
pany, who had previously declined to take
part in the deliberations of his confreres;
also Mr.. Dutton of the Fireman's Fund
Company and others who refused to sign
the recently organized compact. At this
session, however, they did not merely at
tend, but participated in the discussions,
lasting for three hours.
A new constitution was submitted in the
proof sheets by Hugh Craig of the New
Zealand, Manager Cofran of the Hartford
and others. 1t was kept secret by all who
attended the meeting. One of the man
ayers stated that this constitution, which
was described in THE CALL yesterday, was
discussed and acted on section by section,
and will probably be completed to-day.
Then it will be signed by all agents who
thereby agree to observe compact rules
under penalty of expulsion by two-thirds
