Christian life. So also in the fifteepth
century the selling of indulgences,
which was the pardoning by the church
OF sins yet to be committed, license
given to .annul the moral law, was but
the offspring of that doctrine of the Ro-
man church. that salvation was who'll
ly from the grace Of God through
Christ"
We mention one of the present CEN
tury-the doctrine of endless punish
ment; thing in its nature
impossible, for amending distress
inflicted is not punishment, but
barbarity; a libel on Gods ma
ture, for with infinite power and
heartless concern He abandons men to
everlasting misery; and a destroyer Of
morality, for it not only fails to touch
its believers, since each thinks it for any
other than himself, but teaches them to
pass by the most needy as unworthy of
attention. thus cutting the nerve Of eff
fort to right the wrongs of the world
This doctrine has effectualy drained the
fountain of our Christian life by exhaust

DRANK TOO MUCH ALCOHOL.
Sudden Demise of a Young Man From

Griffith was unmarried and resided with
his mother, who keeps boarding house

and ailing for some time with what
proved to have been hillary calculi, or
cysts.
or late he had been suffering great
pain in his side from his disease, and
had been drinking heavily to deaden
the agony. Still, he was able to be up
and about the house, and on Saturday
evening ate hearty supper. Yesterday

THE COMPACT IN DANGER.
Disagreement Among the Insurance
Men at the Eleventh Hour.

The insurance compact is in danger of
disruption just as it's managers fondly
believed that they had all in readiness
for a readjustment of rates, says the
San Francisco Chronicle of Saturday.
Some time ago Arthur e. Magill signed
the non-intercourse amendment, on the
tacit understanding that the approval
of the head officers of the Phoenix and
Home would be required to make 1t
binding upon him. This consent the
Home company has refused to give.
Announcement to that effect was
made at a meeting of the board of fire
underwriters yesterday. 1t is under
stood that the Home is willing to sub
scribe to the pledge to transact no bust
ness with non-board companies except
at full rates, and to neither pay to or re-
ceive from such outsiders or their rep
resentatives any commissions. 1t will
not consent however, that all such bust
ness shall be reported to and passed
upon by the executive committee and
then bulletined to all members of the
compact.
1t was this latter provision which in

UNIVERSALIST CHURCH
Rev. Mr. Rice breaches on Christianity
Asphyxiated

The pastor, Rev. Mr.. Rice, spoke at
the Universalist church ON Christianity
Asphyxiated. from the text, They shall

He said in substance: We make no

The Festivities Were Not MARRIED by the

Who Were Present.

Another of those pleasant family pic
mic celebrations which have won such
an enviable reputation for the French and
Italian societies of this city, was given
by the Italian Benevolent society at
Arroyo Seco yesterday.
All day long the shady grove resounded
with the mirth and festivity of young

as none but the Latin race know how to
celebrate or enjoy. outdoor games held

quently attracted everybody.
The celebration was not marred by the
slightest disorder andfthe policeman on
guard was the only lonesome person
present.
The celebration was held to comment
crate the twenty-sixth anniversary of
the entrance of the Italian troops under
General Cadorno into the city of Rome,
the consequent humiliation of the tenn
poral power of the pope, and the unii1ca-
ton of Italy.
Following so closely upon the marve-
lous victories of Garibaldi, this trans
formed all Italy from a great region of
petty warning states into one of the
most powerful nations of Europe.
The Italian Benevolent society, under
whose auspices yesterdays celebration
in this city was held, was organized in
1877, and has been an important factor
in local affairs ever since.
At present the society has about eighty
active members. 1t owns large hall
on Buena Vista street which cost $4,000,
and has over $1,000 in its treasury. The
society pays out over 500 a year for the
relief of it's members. sick members re-
ceiving $40 per week.
The president of the society is Mr.. j.
Castruccio, the well-knoWn merchant.
Mr.. Castruccio has been one of the sa-
lent features of the society ever since
it was organized, and has been it's pres
ident for fifteen or sixteen years.
The other officers are: Vice-president,
j. Dematteis; treasurer, S. Bodrero;
secretary, J. Fazzi; collector, A. Cerro;

is A VERITABLE BOULEVARD
The Old San Fernando Road Completely
Transformed
Many Loads of Gravel Placed Upon
It, Holes Filled In, and a Great
Improvement Made.

The best piece of county road in the
state is from the city limits extending
for seven or eight miles in the direction
Of Burbank.
This is one of the main highways of
the county. 1t is known Familiarity to
all of the old-timers and to many of
the new corners as the San Fernando
road over 1t as much travel passes
as on many of the streets Of this city.
This road few years ago was simply
a continuation of chuck holes. 1t had
never seen any gravel. When slight
rain fell an ordinary wagon with an
average load could not be drawn over
it with a four-horse team without being
stuck hat a dozen times before the city
limits were reached.
When there was no rain the dust on
the San Fernando road was four inches
thick.
When James Hanley was elected SUI
pervisor from that district-the Fifth
he started out on campaign for good
roads. He commenced on the San Fer
nando road, and the result is that row
it is a veritable boulevard.
All this has been accomplished with
out the tax of the road district having
been increased one solitary cent.
Supervisor Hanley has taken the mat
ter of the Improvement of the highway
under his direct supervision. Hundreds
of loads of gravel were placed upon it.
Every chuck hole was filled in. Water
tanks We're erected along the road at
advantageous points, 1t was and is kept
sprinkled, and now, as was stated in the
outset. there is no county highwty in
the whole state that will excel the San
Fernando road and few will equal it.
What Mr.. Hanley has done on the San
Fernando road he has done on many
other highways in his district. This
Is but sample of his work. The peo-
pie regardless of party all over the dis
trict feel very grateful to him for the
attention and care he has given their
interests as affected by good roads.
More particularly is this true of the BIZ
cyclists.

PALMER AND BUcKNER.

Western democrats, without
regard to shades of opinion, will
unanimously indOrse that part
of the Indianapolis platform
which passionately denounces
Republican false doctrine and
misgovernment.
Not quite, but almost, unani-
mously they will wonder how
delegates who feel that way
about Republicanism can assist
in the election of the peculiar
advocate and representative of
the very fallacies selected for
denunciatiOn.
In the selection of candidates
the Indianapolis convention
again failed to exhibit that con
sistent regard for solar walk
ideals which the previous lofty
utterances Of the delegates had
given the country a right to ex-
pect.
Senator Palmer and General
Buckner are men who through
many years have held their
characters above reproach. The
bravery of neither has ever been
questioned. Both long ago
won and have always held the
regard of their states. But nei-
ther has been distinguished in
finance; neither has a great
deed of craftsmanship in his
record; neither has brilliance i'm
letters or great power in the
practical conduct of public bus
mess. They are two fine old
gentlemen, whose gray hairs
and honorable lives are respect
ed by the rank and file of all
political parties.
A convention whose proclaim
ed purpose was to rise above
mere party fidelity might have
chosen candidates better calcu-
lated to strike the educated OBJ
server with astonishment and
awe. Senator Palmer and
General Buckner have actually
been, during most of their pub
lie careers nothing but plain
democratic politicians" while
the head of the ticket was part
of the time even worse-a Re
publican politician.
How many votes will they
poll9 Will it be enough to give
to Mckinley any state he would
not have carried without the aid
of the Indianapolis convention!
Opinions on that point will
vary. The Republic is sure
that Illinois and Kentucky will
vote just as they would have
voted anyhow. If the Republic
is right, the effect in the other
states can be easily guessed. -
