ADVICE TO ENDEAvORERS.


CHICAGO, Jan. 9.-The Christian En-
deavorer recently sent out letters to the
Governors OF various States asking them
what, in their opinion, could the two million
Christian Endeavorers do to better the con-
dition Of the country. Among the replies
were the following:
From Governor Matthews, of Indiana
Do their duty as citizens and urge others
TO do the same. 1t is as much the duty OF
an American citizen TO attend the primaries
and aid in the selection of good men and
the adoption of right measures as it is to
respond to their country's call in the time
OF instruction or invasion. At present
politics and politicians are TO some ex-
tent terms or reproach. This should not be.
If the majority of the citizens do their full
called on to do military service is much
reduced.
From Governor Greenhalge, of Massa-
chusetts-If the great organs for Christian
Endeavor in the United States continue
their work on the same basis which they
have established in the past and point the
young people of the country to higher
standard of patriotism and Christianity,
they will do a great deal to advance the
pest interests OF the country.
From Governor Stone, OF Missouri
This society is composed of q large number
or Christian young men and women. The
young people can exercise good in
Huence wherever they work and can be
potent factor in improving the moral
and social conditions of many thousands.
AS an adjunct of the churches and working
in concert with them, they can do much
to promote religious sentiment among the
people, The means to be employed in
prosecuting their works should depend
largely on conditions exciting in the differ
ent localities where they operate and can
best be determined by those who have the
work to do
From Governor Rich. of Michigan
know of nothing that the young men and
women of our country can do to better the
general condition than to continue fear
lessly and earnestly in the beautiful and
noble work in which they are and have
been engaged, educating and inspiring the
growth of that high moral sentiment among
the youth which means a purer and nobler
conception of citizenship, a higher idea
of the duties of life, a Juster and more
charitable comprehension Of the relations
OF men.

countered succession of heavy gales with
tremendous heavy seas. Very little head
way could be made against the fierce gales
and heavy seas which were daily en-
countered. On Dec. &c one of the propeller
blades was broken. The engines pounded
heavily, but the steamer was kept on her
course, but at very reduced speed. 1t soon
became evident that the propeller had
worked loose from the shaft, and two
knots per hour was the best speed that
could be got out Of the engine Jan.
the propeller became loose and would not
revolve. The supply of coal in the bunkers
was also nearly exhausted. The ship was

for Boston, was sighted soon after, but
supply Of coal was running short. On

Senator Jones, OF Nevada, Repudiates

The Republicans of the committee are in

the position that as the people of the Pa

should provide for the protection of this
interest. If he maintains this position and

OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 30-Henry Sci
mer was sentenced to twelve years i'm
prisonment in Folsom to-day by Judge
Greene. He had been convicted of felo-
NOUS assault upon eight-year-old Myr-
tie Needham of North Temeseal. His
attorney made a move for new trial on
the ground that there was lack of proof to
show Seimer was not married to the child,
but was overruled. He read extracts from
the testimony to show circumstance which
would lessen the punishment to be in
f1icted, and closed with a plea for the mini
mum, five years.
Judge Greene held that the testimony
indicated that Seimer had been guilty, not
once but twice, of the offense charged
against him. He then directed special
attention to certain phase of it that indi-

Hearted and Generous Visitors.
OAKLAND, CAL, Jan. 30.-The story in
to-day's CALL about the sad conditions I'M
der which John Rogers, the man 104 years
old, lives in a leaky barn near the water
front, aroused sympathy in the hearts of
many, and several people called on him to-
day. One lady came over from San Fran
cisco and returned, saying that she would
send old Rogers some clothing, and others
made him small presents.
The officers of the Humane Society said
to-day that the case cannot be handled by
them, as Rogers is voluntarily enduring
bis present hardships and privations, and
they cannot interfere
For some months the Supervisors have
given Rogers an order for 81 for groceries,
and an offer was made to have him placed
in the county poorhouse, but the old man
declined. He used to live in barn on a
lot at Third and Jefferson streets, but the
place was pulled down, and he went to his
present quarters about two months ago.
He has not been able to go about peddling
for over year, and he is mostly dependent
on the charity of neighbors. The people
who live in the house in front of the stable
will complain to the Health Office to-day
that the old man is a nuisance and will
ask that he be removed. Everybody who
has visited the den is of the opinion that
the old man should be taken care of, ire
spective of his protest, as his mind now
shows signs of falling.

INTERESTING TO MINERS
Question of Extra Lateral Rights Arises
in the Big Grass Valley
Mining Suit.

The argument over the admjssibility of
evidence upon which the defendant in the
big suit Of the Carson City Gold and Silver
Mining Company against the North Star
Mining Company bases the extra lateral
rights it claims continued before United
States Circuit Judge Beatty all of yester-
day, and the question was taken under ad-
visement until tomorrow.
The suit is for 1896, 900 for ore taken out
by the North Star Company from the
plaintiffs ledge. The two litigant cor
porations have adjoining mining proper
ties in Grass valley, Nevada County, and
it appears that the North Star Company
has dipped down under the surface area of
that of the Carson City Company.
The North Star property was formerly
the old Irish-American mine, to which,
however, great many other claims have
been added. 1t comprises large number
of old locations and is about the same
size as that of the Carson City Company,
namely, sixty acres. All the North Star
claims were consolidated and patented in
their entirety in 1869. A bout 200 OF the
early locations were embraced in this
patent
The North Star people. in developing
their ledge. represent that they followed
1tS natural course downward by an in
clined shaft for distance of about 2400
feet, and from this shaft network of
shafts and drifts were tunneled under the
surface area of the Carson City Company's
property. They justify their work on the
theory that they followed the ledge from
their own ground, and by their claim of
extra lateral rights based upon the con-
solidated patent.
The POSITION taken by the counsel for
the Carson City Mining Company is that
no extra lateral rights were conferred by
this patent and the attorneys naturally
objected to the admission of evidence by
by which the North Star Company pro-
posed to show that it has simply fol-
lowed the continuity of its vein from its
apex.
The demand for the 1925, 900 is to cover
the ore taken out by the North Star people
during the three years prior to September
H. 1894, though it is said several millions
of dollars worth have been taken out alto
gether. Attorneys w. H. Dickson and A.
G. Ellls of Salt Lake City argued for the
plaintiff yesterday, and the defendant was
represented by Curtis II. Lindley. Lind
ley d Eickhoff are assisted in the defepae
by Frederick Searles and Harold Wheeler,
and G. w. Kits of Grass Valley is asso-
ciated with Messrs. Ellis and Dickson for
the Carson City Company.
