Mother. and Home

rise up and call her blessed. .
Her memory is sacred While she

flowers bloom above her sleeping

A report was made on the survey of the
course. For three-quarters of mile the
course is sheltered behind the hills and a
smoother stretch of water cannot be found
on the bay.
Every precaution will be taken to insure
the freedom of the course from obstruc-

sibility, then do not believe women's con-
crosses will be held any more. These con-
crosses are doing great deal OF good. They
are converting good many obstinate men
ciating the opinions OF women
DR.. Voorsanger, whose remarks had been
listened to with great attention. and who
was frequently applauded, introduced the
speaker of the evening in a few graceful
words, saying that though his audience
might disagree with some of her senti-
ments, it was impossible for any one to
listen to her without feeling impressed by
her eloquence.
The Rev Anna II. Shaw. whose appear
ance in the pulpit was the signal for much
cheering and clapping of hands, said:
cit gives me quite as much qualification
as it can any one to have the privilege of
standing in this beautiful temple tonight
to speak to you not as Jews, not
as Gentiles, but as children of one who is
our father, God, and of whose family we
are"
Miss Shaw remarked that it was difficult
to explain quite what she was, for in con-
crosses where they wanted a liberal
speaker she had been chosen, and she had
experienced similar treatment in assem-
blies at gatherings where it was an abso-
lutte necessity that the speaker should be
orthodox. She said:
believe that the time has come when de-
nominational differences which have separated
US in the past will be known among US no
more, and the harbinger of that better time
was the great congress at Chicago, during the
Worlds Fair the great congress OF religions.

HIS GUILT IS IN DOUBT.
No New Developments in the
Mystery of Mrs. Matthew'S
Death.
The Letter Sent by Her to Winthrop
Consistent With His Trustee
ship.

Captain Lees had no new inform alton to
impart yesterday in the case of o. w.
Winthrop, under arrest on suspicion of
having caused the death of Mrs. Jennie
Matthews.
The Captain is still impressed with the
belief that the letter found in Winthrop's
pocket on the night of his arrest, which
Winthrop had written to Supreme Re-
corder Linn, Indianapolis, will be found to
contain something that will have strong
bearing upon the case, either for or against
Winthrop. If Winthrop's attorney will
not agree to the letter being opened by
Captain Lees, its contents will have TO re-
main unknown until the inquest is held
Detective Ross Whitaker has made dill
gent inquiries at large number of drug
stores, but he has been unable to find any
druggist who sold strvchnine to Winthrop.
He found, however, that it is no unusual
thing for people to buy an original package
OF the drug containing half dram on the
pretext that it is wanted to kill gophers.
No record is kept of the sale or the name
of the purchaser.
There is one point that seems to be over
looked. That is the letter sent by Mrs.
Matthews to Winthrop about month ago
in which she intimated her intention of
dong something desperate owing to her
husbands ill-treatment of her, and asking
him to be the guardian and protector of
her child.
When Matthews saw the letter he adj
mitted it was ID his wife's handwriting, so
there appears to be no question OF its
genuineness. The fact that she asked
Winthrop to be the guardian of her little
girl is quite consistent with the fact that
in the application for insurance in the
Order of Chosen Friends she should name
him as trustee for the child.

CENTRALIZING INTERESTS.

Job Hartman Gives His Views From a
Socialistic Standpoint.
The speaker of the evening at the meet
ing of the Socialistic Labor party last
night was Professor Job Hartman, and
the topic upon which he discoursed was
"Society as an Organism n. E. Kelsey
was the chairman of the evening and in
troduced the speaker. His theories were
rather cleverly drawn and met with the
appreciation of the audience. His main
idea was that in organization there is
strength for all classes of society. 1t must
not, however, be confined to any particular
country, but should be international in
every way.
The time was fast approaching, in the
speakers opinion, when this state of af-
fairs would be consummated. 1t was
shown recently when, during the London
dockyard strikes, congratulations as re-
garded their principles and cash for their
support poured in upon the strikers from
far-of Australia and other portions of the
world.
In the pooling of interests, said the
speaker, the idea of the brotherhood of
man was forgotten. Those who remain
Indifferent to the welfare and sufferings of
their fellow men will, in the course of
events, suffer themselves. The mass of
humanity must be brought into closer
contact and taught the lesson of concen-
tration. The big strike of the future will
be for concentration. not only in this
country but all along the line. Industries
have of late been revolutionized by the
introduction of machinery, and although
there have been individual sufferers the
tendency was upward and the develop
ment and realization of mans ideal is not
far off. The speaker wanted to see the two
classes, capital and labor, clasp hands over
the chasm which has divided them in the
past

ALASKA MISSION WORK.
A Missionary Who Is Obliged to Travel
Nine Hundred Miles to Get
His Mail.

Rev. Jules Provost, a missionary of the
Episcopal church in Alaska, who has been
enjoying vacation in this City during the
past year and who will shortly return to
his station, occupied the pulpit at the
Church of the Advent on Eleventh street
last evening. His subject was EMISSION
Work IN Alaska"
Dr. Prevost's station is at Fort Adams,
on the Yukon, and his parish, known and
designated as the Parish of st. James,
covers an area of 100000 square miles, most
of which he has found time to explore
during a four years residence in the
territory.
The reverend gentleman has to go 900
miles for his mail, which he receives
as often as once year. When President
is elected in the United States in Novem-
Der DR.. Provost gets the news at his mis-
sion the following June.
All these things he wove into his intro
duction last evening, which was extended
to include general geographical descrip-
ton of the country and a brief reference to
the climatic conditions which prevail
there.
As to the mission work proper, DIR.
Provost has in his parish 1000 Indians and
1000 white men, most of the latter class
being miners. About 1000 Indians have
been baptized in the Episcopal church,
and of this number about fifty are COM
municants.

sponsibilities involved in good citizenship
We have to work upon them individually.
There is little preaching to be done, but a
great deal of teaching. We seek first to
improve their physical condition. As a
preliminary we use the gospel of soap and
water.
"a short time before I left we started a
newspaper at the mission, A printer was
brought 800 miles to help me set up the
press and get off the issue. We sold good
many copies for 81 each and the paper
now has general circulation all over the
Territory. At Forty-mile Camp we started
a library for the miners. In two days the
men contributed $500. They had long felt
the need of reading-room, but did not
seem to know how to set about getting it."
