MIR. BARBE's LECTURE
On Education at the Wesley NJ. f. Church
Yesterday.

On Education at the Wesley NJ. f. Church
Yesterday.
Yesterday was a field day ait the Wes-
ley NJ. E Church. The morning SER
vice was opened by the choir singing
several choice selections and prayer by
the pastor. Rev. L. W. Roberts. Then
instead of the sermon the audience were
treated to a lecture by Waitman Barbe,
field agent Of the West Virginia Uni
versi.y. on the subject of education.
Ii would be useless tOattempt even a
synopsis of the lecture, suffice TO say
the large audience who listened were
perfectly delighted. All Went away
feeling dissatisfied no doubt with
themselves. from the fact that the lee
turer held up an ideal which perhaps
few can ever reach; but at The same
rime it is calculated to cause any and
every one to strive 10 know more than
they now do. We must educate, said
the lecturer, or We will perish. He paid
a glowing tribune TO the trio OF educat-
ors-the pulp.c. the school and the
preSs-eacl doing its own work, and all
doing q great work in eleyating the
masses. In the afternoon both Mr.
Bar5e and Prof Armstrong spoke to
the Sunday school. Prof. Armstrong
spoke of the Bible as me book of books
and claimed that in 4, is the best liter
allure i'm Che world Biography history
and poetry abound. He also urged on
fNf
what their children read. Mr.. Barbe
spoke in the same strain and both pleas
ed the audience greatly.
At night the services were as follows:
Singing of the anthem, Wake the
Song" by choir. Announcement of the
HYMN. Alas. and Did My Savior
Bleed" by Rev. S. w. Roberts, and
singing the same. Prayer by Presiding
Elder Moore.
After singing another hymn and an
anthem. Elder Moore preached from
the words: Consider the lilies of the
field: how they grow" He began his
sermon by saying that three months
ago he preached here on the subject of
how 10 be saved. Now he wished to
SPEAK of how a newborn Christian
grows. Christ always adopted that
form of teaching which would have the
best effect on the great multtudes TO
whom he spoke. His method of teach
ing was the method now used in our
best schools. His lessons were object
lessons. He used those objects famil-
lar to his hearers. He did not attempt
to use high-fowu language. He spoke
so that all his hearers could under
stand He never lacked for a crowd.
Sometimes he was so pressed that he
had to get away from the crowds. In
the great sermon on the Mount, Of
which the text is part, he laid the
foundation of Christian ethics. No
doubt as Christ spoke the words of the
text he pointed to flowers, the lilies Of
the fields so that all could see them.
He wished to illustrate the growth Of
grace in the human heart. What are
some of the processes of the devlOp-
INIT of a flower? First. there must be
the bulb. No one can tell by looking
at it. can see what is contained in it..
but it contains all the elements of life
hidden mysteriOusly away. We cannot
see it, but it is there. We cannot see
life. but we know that 1t is all around
US everywhere. No argument is need

SHE WILL NOT BE GOOD

A Husbands Unsuccessful Attempt to Reform
His Erring Wife
Considerable excitement was caused on
the row on Alameda street Thursday night
by the antics of one Joe Monohan. Joe had
imbbed enough whisky to render him ugly
and stubborn and during the course of his
perigrinations found himself opposite a
crib. He looked through the blinds and
there to his dispair and agony of mind saw
his beloved wee wifee seated calmly wait
ing for business to come her way. Joe
Immediately rushed into the room and
try to induce her to leave the place and go
with him and be decent. The female re-
fused and ordered her spouse out of the
room, punctuating her remarks with nu-
merous strong words which were replied to
in kind by Joe. In fact Mrs. Monohan did
not take kindly at all to her husbands
offer to lift her up and said that he was
trying to ''work" her for meal ticket.
Deputy Constable Bosqui arrived during
the domestic dispute and advised Monohan
to leave the place which he did
1t appears that Monohan married the
woman when she was living in house of
ill repute in San Diego. The two lived to-
gether for while, but business grew dull
and they quarreled frequently, with the
result that they separated and she set up
an establishment for herself. The woman
said she would swear to a complaint charg-
ing him with having disturbed the peace,
as she did not propose to go with him, and
would not be annoyed by his imprecations.

HE LIKED NICE JEWELRY
A Burglar Who Wore Some of His st,

A Burglar Who Wore Some of His Stolen
Finery
The amiable countenance of William M.
Garland, the member of the school board
from the Third ward, beamed and smiled
more than its accustomed wont yesterday,
and there was an excellent reason for this
delight on the part of the gentleman. He
had returned TO him clothing and jewelry
which had been stolen from him by a bur-
glar last month.
A couple of days ago the San Francisco
detectives caught a burglar by the name of
Harry Garthside, who, it seems, was no
less parsonage in this city than the famed
"Jack the Early Riser" When this worthy
left Los Angeles tho detectives learned of
it and were informed that he would soon
return. This he failed to do, and when the
fellow was caught Chief Glass at once
thought that some of the property he had
stolen in this city might be recovered. A
description of some of the goods wanted
had been sent north, and when Garthside
was searched the gold watch chain and
opal scarf pin that had belonged to Mr..
Garland were found on him. The northern
detectives also succeeded in locating Mr..
Garland's overcoat, gold pencil and some
other articles in a pawn shop, where the
burglar had put them The goods were
sent to the chief here, and yesterday Mr..
Garland was asked to call at the police
station, which he did, and after identifying
the things received them from the officers.

as there was no other officer near. Captain
Roberts requested Joe to escort the kid"
They visited several poker joints and sa-
Icons and the youngster succeeded in rais-
ing the necessary money. When they re-
turned TO the court it was TO find that
previous fine of $40 for battery was hang
ing over the youths head, SO that the
money raised on the first expedition went
to liquidate the old account.
The KID and Joe then started out
again in the latter's wagon. They finally
drew up in front of the Arizona poker joint
on Main street, and after hitching his
horse Mugnemi walked in after his pris-
oner. The latter went up to table, and
while the officer was probably "sizing upp
the concern the "Kid'' slipped out through
the back door, over a fence and was gone,
for when Mugnerni cast his eyes to where
he had last seen the "Kid'' no one was
there. 1t took him but 81 short while to re-
alize that the boy had given him the slip.
A warrant was issued for the smooth youth
yesterday by Justice Morrison, and as
Mugnemi was on still hunt for him last
night, it is likely that the escape will soon
be put behind the bars again.

The Leonis Estate is Still Tied

George Wilig Signs Release Unknown to
His Attorney and Leaves the Lawyer
in the Lurch-Court Notes

An endeavor to get final settlement in
the matter of the estate of Miguel Leouis
failed yesterday. The matter came up be-
fore Judge Clark in department two of the
superior court, the idea being to get an or
der for it's distribution upon the final re-
port of the executor, NJ esnager.
There are large number of heirs, and
consequently large number of attorneys.
They are all carefully watching each other,
and they are all anxious to get final dis
tribution, for then their worries will be
over.
But this is what they did not get yester-
day.
When everything looked pleasant, the
attorneys for the estate of jun Leonis,
the dead brother of the deceased Miguel,
to which estate Miguel's estate is debtor,
appeared with citation to the Miguel
heirs 10 show cause why their estate should
be distributed before the claims of the
Juan estate should be settled
This was the signal for the battle. The
contest ragged for some time, but it finally
fell of its own weight, and the matter of
the distribution went over to February 7th,
while the citation will be looked into on
January 3 LIST.

An opinion was given by Judge Shaw in
department five yesterday in the case of
Nardholt VS.. Clark which defines land
lords power in the matter of raising a
monthly rental. The action was a suit to
recover 5000 alleged to be due from
Clark to Nordholt for rent of certain
premises ON Sixth street. The plaintiff
leased the premises on January l, 1895, to
the defendants, the latter agreeing to pay
the rent monthly in advance. On Septem-
Der ., 1895, notice was servad on the de-
PENDANTS, 10 the effect that the terms of
the lease would be changed and that the
rent would thereafter be $1,000 per month,
payable in advance. The defendants held
possession after the LIST of October and
until October .. when they vacated. Suit
was then brought by plaintiff for the rent
for the month of October, at the rate
stated in tho notice, and for $50 for rent
alleged to be due for the three months
prior to October |, at a monthly rental of
$40. The court holds that the landlord
did not have the right to change the terms
of the lease, nor to raise the rent by the
notice, and no recovery can be had of the
$4,000. The complaint AYERS the failure to
pay rent prior to October L, and the evil
dence shows that there was no rent paid
after August %. There would therefore
be SIS due, and for that amount Judgment
is given.
