land.

Three distinguished Japanese arrived on
the Gaelic yesterday from the land OF the
chrysanthemum. They are not warriors
like Marshal Yamagata and his party that
preceded them, but at home are high in
the profession that breaches "peace on
earth and good will toward men,; they
are Japan's best representative clergymen
sent as her National delegates to the Gen.
eral Methodist Conference that opens at
/ Cleveland, Ohio, on May L.
The party consists of the Rev. Y.
Honda, president of the Anglo-Japanese
College at Toxic; DR.. E. Asada, professor
of Old Testament exegesis in the same col
lege, who, in addition to being graduate
of the Garrett Bible Institute of North.
western University, Illinois, bears the dis
tinction of being the first person on whom
a degree was ever conferred by the Uni
versity of Chicago; and the Rev. Mr.. Ipia
of the United Brethren Church of Japan.
Soon after their arrival they prepared to
resume. at once their chosen work as min,
listers OF the Gospel, and last night found
them addressing the congregation of the
Japanese mission on Post street.
They were met upon their arrival at the
Occidental by the Rev. DR.. Harris, the
head of the Japanese missions of tllis
State, who had during his own long mis-
sionary life in Japan formed the acouaint-
ance of President Honda of the Toxic
college.
They spoke to their countrymen last
night in their mother tongue, as the large
congregation was composed entirely of
Japanese young men, drawn together by
their clannish patriotism and their COM
mon desire to avail themselves of every
opportunity to learn in this country.
The party will remain here but few
days before continuing the journey to the
meeting-place Of Methodists from all over
the world.

lectures to be delivered by him under the
same auspices.

NEW TEMPLE DECIDED ON
The Congregation Sheriff. Israel
Will Erect a New
Building.
A Site at the Corner of Van Ness
Avenue and O'Farrell Street
Will Be Purchased.

The semi-annual meeting of the Congre-
cation Sheriff. Israel was held in the syna-
gogue corner of Post and Taylor streets,
Yesterday afternoon. Over eighty mem
bers were in attendance. President Brown
occupied the chair.
The routine business was soon disposed
of, and the board considered the report OF
the committee on new building-site.
The committee, consisting of Phil N.
Aronson, Louis Brown, Charles Harris, A.
Kutner, Eitel Philips, f. Sheideman and
H. /. Kowalsky, WAS appointed last Octo-
Der to find suitable lot for a new syna-
gogue. They looked at number of lots.
and last Thursday held meeting and de-
cided to recommend the lot on the south
west corner Of O'Farrell street and Van
Ness avenue as the best suited to the de-
mands of the synagogue.
All the membe OF the congregation at
Yesterdays meeting were unanimous in
the opinion of the committee and Presi-
dent Brown was instructed to close nego-
tiations for the lot He will probably do
so to-day or tomorrow.
The lot decided upon is one of the finest
building sites in San Francisco. 1t has a
frontage of 120 feet on Van Ness avenue
and 1877 feet on O'Farrell street. Very
little grading will be needed as the lot is
almost level. Just what kind OF build
ing the Congregation Sheriff. Isreal will
erect has not yet been decided upon, but
it will cost not less than $l50,0O0.
The old building on the corner of Post
and Taylor streets has grown much too
small for the congregation and it will be
sold as soon as the new building is ready
for occupancy.

Makes an Eloquent
Appeal.

Whatever may be said of the Mormon
church it does not lack for sweet music
and simple eloquence. yesterday it did
not lack, even in this City, for great fol-
lowing.
Metropolitan Temple, where there was
an open religious meeting, had, from the
front row of the auditorium to the outer
row of the gallery, not seat to spare.
The choir occupied all the space of the
stage except the reserved center for the
speakers.
Possibly it was the opportunity to hear
the famous choir without cost that called
the big congregation together Whatever
it was there was no evidence that any
came to scoff. The meeting was one of the
best conducted and altogether successful
as religious meetings go, in the history OF
such in this City.

SUICIDE OF A, CARPENTER.
Jacob Scharertze Shoots Himself While
in Fit of Dependency.

Jacob Scharertze, carpenter living at
5 5Douglass street, committed suicide yester-
day afternoon at o'clock by shooting
himself through the head. The only
reason that his wife and brother-in-law,
]. Meyer, could assign for the act was that
the deceased became Respondent by reason
OF his failure to procure work. He had
been trying for the past two and a half
months to obtain work, but failed, and in
consequence became depressed in spirits.
Deputy Coroner J. E. O'Brien, on investi-
CATION and from the statement made by a
neighbor named Pigeoree, who, on hear.
ing the report of the pistol, rushed into
the cottage where the act had been COM
mitted, was satisfied that a determined
suicide was the cause of death and allowed
the body to remain at the residence.

Eli Perkins Apples.

The Boone, Iowa, News tells the story about Bill Yves visit to Eli Perkins country house mp in Madison county, New York. Eli has one of those farms, left by his grandfather, on which are rocks, trout brooks, butter. nut trees, and apple trees where the ungrafted fruit is about the size of thorn apples. Nye said that Perkins apples were ESQ tough that, like a worm. they would turn when you trod on them"
 After we had been Eli's guest ahout a week. said Nye, ''some wicked boys one night stole all his early apples This almost broke El's heart. The next day he went to see the father of the wicked boys.
 "'They should be punished said Eli. IT was wicked to steal my choice fruit
 "Too late now, said the farmer, tears coming into his eyes.
 "'No, they should be soundly whipped now. It's never too late to whip those boys.
 "'But its too late now Mir. Per, kins-too late, pleaded the farmer tesrfully. My poor boys were thought less; they ate the apples, and they are dead. ."

DON'T READ THE NEWSPAPERS
Men Who Don't Care for Things of Con.
 temporsneous Interest.

It may seem strange, but it is fact. vertheless, that you occasionally find a man who, by his own admission, never reads the newspapers-not because he doesn't know how, nor of dimness or eyesight, but for the simple reason that he has no desire to. If an observing student of human nature will study the mental qualities of such men he will with few exceptions find them to be narrow-minded in the extreme. The horizon of their ideas is often circum- scribed by their own dooryard, and sell dom extends beyond the limits of the immediate community in which they live. Ask such q man what the distance is from Harvard to Chicago, or what state borders Illinois on the south, questions that the average schoolboy can answer, and the prospects are he has forgotten, if he ever did know. Why, have in mind person in Harvard who thinks himself mighty heavy weight Il mean intellectually who was heard to ask the question few years ago, upon hearing a commercial salesman TtCOuIJ hOlllc oi Llc ddi iilS tNNhS VI 'AN great confederate leader, Gen. Lee, in the war, If the critter was still living" This is no fairy tale, but an absolute fact The idea l wish to convey in the strongest possible language in this con nection is that to deprive an cnlieht- ened man of his newspaper, whether it be the most obscure weekly in the state or the ablest metropolitan daily in the land, is to take away his mental food and he is in torment until it is restored to him. If ignorance is bliss" the man who never reads may be as happy as the one who does, but the latter will find no pleasure in the formers society for the reason that he finds it difficult to confine his ideas within the marrow scope of the man who never reads a newspaper.

Any one who has ever had an attack of infammatory rheumatism will re- ioice with Mr. J. A. Stumm, 220 Boyle Heights, Los Angeles, over his fortu- nate escape from a siege of that dis tressing ailment. Mr. Stumm is fore man of Merriam's confectionery es- tablishment. Some months ago, on leaving the heated work to run across the street on an errand, he was caught out Tn the rain. The result was that when ready to go home that night he was unable to walk, owing to in- fiamatory rheumatism. He was taken home, and on arrival was placed in front of a good fire and thoroughly rubbed with Chamberlain's Pain Balm During the evening and night he was repeatedly bathed with this liniment, and by morning was relieved of all rheumatic pains. He now takes especial pleasure in praising Chamber lain's Pain Balm, and always keeps a bottle of it in the house. For sale by II. c. Hitchcock, druggist.
