DR.. Rebecca Lee Dorsey was on ven

manner grievous to the doctors feel
ings. She contends that to replace the
top that was torn off and fix it up so as
to once more make it a respectable look

]. H. Woodwork has grievance
against j. N. Mundell and wife and Is
desirous of having his discomfort al
layed by the payment Of $400 in United
States gold coin.
The Mundells lived on a ranch down in
Orange county, but wanted either to
sell it or exchange it for other property.
They consequently entered into an
agreement with Woodwork, who is a
member of the California Investment
company, that if any party was intro
duced by him to them and a sale or ex-
change of the property was effected,
they would pay $400 as commission. A
Mr.. George c. Horton was sent down to
the MundelPs ranch and he ultimately
became its possessor. The commission
then became due but it has not been
paid, and Mr.. Woodwork has taken
his claim into the courts.

While It IL at all times a. sad spec
tacle to witness the vagaries Of an un-
balanced mind, there is an added pa
of superior attainments and intelligence.
Yesterday Captain Macmillan Wolff
was brought up in department four, be-
for Judge Van Dyke, to be examined
as to his sanity. The patient first made
his appearance in Los Angeles at the
time of the fair held in the pavilion.
He was attached to the Polish commits
sioner's department. and had on view
an ingenious model of an airship of
which he was the inventor. He dis
coursed most learnedly upon the pecu-
liar features of his invention, details of
which appeared at length in
The Herald at that time. A
particular fad, too, of his was that the
earth is not shaped as ordinarily under
stood, but is plane, and to establish
this contention Captain Wolff has writ
ten both in the newspapers and in PAM
phlet form.
Born at Stettin in 1854, he received a
very thorough education and adopted the
profession of civil engineer. He is said
also to have served with some distinc-
tion in the Franco German war, after
which he devoted most of his time to
aeronautics and the invention of an air
ship that could serve the purposes CT
general utility. In January of last year
his peculiar idiosyncrasy developed into
insanity, and he was sent to Highlands,
where he remained until a few days
hri !,
discharged. Yesterday he was once
again brought up for examination.
When asked to explain himself and
how he felt, he said he had been pois-
oned, and in proof of the assertion, he
rolled up his coat and shirt sleeve and
displayed an eruption on his arm. He
stated that his wife and family are in
Berlin. Germany, but that no one of his
relatives had ever been confined in a
lunatic asylum. THE spirits appear to
| me-" said he, land tell me that 1 must
go to Highlands. I must go throue'i
| all the bad things of this earth and then
| pass on out of this firebox-they always
| speak of the earth as a frebox," he add
ed.
Are you Mason ?" inquired DR.. Mac
Gowen.
"Yes, sir" was the reply when my
father, the emperor William, took the
highest degree at the pyramids I took
my degree of the sun. You know" con-
tinued he, 'the pyramids were not built
by the hands of man, but by God, and
I there learned very many things. If
you will just come outside you will see
me give you the signs of the sun all
right"
The poor fellow has been amusing him
self in the county Jail inditing kilograms
to the pope of Rome and other high dig
ritaries, as well as many notes he de-
sired sent to Mayor RAIDER and other
city officials.
Upon the, Recommendation of Drs.
MacGowen and Cochrane, he was COM
mitted to Highlands.

gre discoveries that touch vapor, fire,

SO II must be also with the fact OF the
human soul. Its present relations and
tendencies prophecy, for him who has
been to see, OF its future developments
and consequences. Jesus was rlgnt In
putting the divine authority back OF the
most exalted motive, the deepest affec-
ton Of his Heart, out o. which He spoke
when lie said "Because l live ye shall
live also.'
II Jesus could say that OF His friends,
God could say no less OF the world OF
souls that are Gods.
the source OF the life OF the soul in the
heart OF God. Of old men had thought
only OF rivalry between the great and
strong, and the poor and the weak man
the life of the one crushing out the life
of tho other; and 90 they had thought
only OF rivalry. OF jealousy between the
life of God and the life OF men. BE
cause I live We shall die!" There was
that sharp clear limo between the mortal
and the immortal
But let us not forget that Jesus never
uttered the opposite OF that cruel maxim |;
He never said "Because i die ye shall
live" lie never thought that his physical
death was any more than an incident, a
passing consequence of the development
of the spiritual life in him that could
not die. He did not ask Ills friends to
dwell on death, on failing powers, or on
mournfu, memories. The touch of His
present life with theirs and their present
life with His, moving them and Him to
ends and accomplishments, TO words and
dee is, to noble discoveries and awaken
ings far In the future when life should
no longer touch life on earth, was the
evidence OF the way in which the ever
present, ever close spirit of God, should
assure a never falling future to the souls
of men that drew close TO him and shared
his exhaustiess life.
SO the word with which Easter leaves
us is no dou btful or dreamy or visionary
word, it IL strenuous, practical, direct
Live! live with all your might with all
your mind and htart and soul. Live TO
the utmost of your power up TO the ut
most verge OF lie. Make your life rich,
strong, wise, happy; take ip'o II all that
nature or books or friendships or tender
memories OF great hopes can give you;
and then let 1t pour out as freely as 1t

countless ways open TO yoD, live as IL

It's exhsustlcssness. Live for Others, and
from others, and you shall know how
God lives in YOU, for you, with you and
