PASADENA, Nov. 2O.--The com plai Mt
against August Lang, druggist. for vio-
1ation of the liquor ordinance, has
finally been issued and the warrant
served, so that the case will probably be
brought to trial soon, unless it should
be delayed by the proposed eastern trip
of City Attorney Arthur, who oontem-
plates leaving soon to be absent about q
month, in which cess it will pr obably be
tried imm ediately upon his rturn.
This is the case which the enforcement
committee brought to the attention of
the council some weeks ago claiming that
there was fully as much evidence in sup
port of the com plant as in any of the
other cases whore convictions were Sc
cured. But now additional evidence has
been secured and presented to the city
attorney, whereupon he issued the COM
pant. The latest evidence IS that of
Miss Lou V. Cbapln. the young lady who
saved special train from disaster
last spring by Tagging it in time to pre-
vent it from dashing into an obstruction
placed upon the track. Her testimony is to
the effect that whisky was sold to her on
the 18th of this month without a physic-
ian's prescription. There is considerable
other testimony of sales at other times,
which will come out at the trial, and tho
conf ittee is confident as to the result.
PHILOSOPHICAL LECTURE.
The third OF the lectures Oh theosophy
being delivered by Abbott Is. Clark OF
San Francisco was attended by good
sized audience last evening at the Uni
versalit church. Mr.. Clark's subject was,
If Man Die Shall He Live AGAIN. or
Proofs OF Re-birth on Earth. He said
in part: The question, If a man die shall
he live again has always been answered
if the questioner was looking with per-
sistence and he ardently desired to find
the answer. 1t has always been proven
that the FOUL existed through introspec.
ton. The speaker cited the well known
and scientifically recognized phenomena
of hyPnotism. somnambullsm and the
like proving the existence of a hidden
self. or inner and more real man, the
zeal thInKer, superior to and Independent
OF the body anu which from its nature
and character could not have been born,
and could not perish with the osdy.
Having greater powers than the body, it
must have acquired them long
period of evolution.
1t is a well-known fact that the only
accurate science OF modern time is matn-
ematcs, and yet in spite OF the material
lists contention that lie will not believ.
that which he cannot prove by means of
his five senses, this is the science which
he cannot ouch, weigh or measure by
the senses. but is proven closely in, 10
and by the mind. So with re-birth on
earth, as it deals with the mind and soul
it can be proven only BY tests that ap-
peal to the mind and inner sense. IN
proofs OF reEirth naturally arrange them
selves under the heads OF justice, logic
science and intuition. t. account for tht
inequalities OF human birth and life but
three theories exist One theotv saws
that new soul is created for every birth
fresh from the hand of Col. But if the
soul of the child born in the Sums wher,
It is taught to steal. is newly made by
God. then he is respousi BILE for it. if we
arc all fresh from his hand, then the
natural born thief the murderer and our
own faults and failines are made by him
and we have no hand in it; but this is
unjust, for We have to suffer for his bad
work in making up. The matsrialistic
or acnostlc theory is no better, because
Il only shifts the respo5ibility from God
to the parents, and the terrible injustice
OF o child having to suffer for another's
faults. The third theory Is reincarha-
rion. by which man makes for himself in
the past evolution of the soul his own
permanent, character and destiny. We
wake up in each new birth much as we
died in the last life and it is therefore
