cities and hills of the East,
awakening from their lethargy |
the worshippers of the god of
gold as they doze in their tempt |
es of luxury. Strong and deep
rises that portentious volume of
sound, paling the cheeks and
sending alarm and terror to the
hearts of these devotees. Long
have they knelt at the shrine of
their god, many are the oblations
they have placed upon his shin
ing altar, numerous have been
the prayers that have assembled
from them to his lustrous throne.
They have found him a good and
powerful god, bountiful in his

plenty unto his faithful follow

Since his overthrow of the god
of silver he has been invincible,
and like Zeus of Olympus, he
sneers and jeers at the impoten-

him, deeming him forever dis

in numbers, have become great
and mighty at the expense and
to the detriment of their count

cied that under the protection
and favor of so powerful a god
they would forever control the
destinies of the fair land of

might disport themselves in per
petual sunshine and bliss until
the millennium, while their enc

places.
The cover is of leather, with the hand
worked design of an eschsholtzia and its
leaves on the front and a design like
basket-weaving on the back.
The first of the excursionists left New
ork and Boston yesterday and another
party will leave Chicago to-day. The total
number of visitors who are coming is about
325.
They will be met at Barstow by commit

color.
Following is the greeting of the Local

bids you welcome.
Come and see our majestic mountains, YER

aid the destitute, but unless we have been
aetuated by love we have done nothing In the
sight of God.-Rev. ]. r. Boyle, Methodist,
Wilkesbarre. Pa.
SIN AND ITS PUNISHMENT.
When we sin we rob God of something, and
we ought to be willing to repay him in some
manner, while we have health and strength,
instead OF waiting to feel Temorse for an un-
fruitful life when we near its end. We may be
told to take life with its pleasures and its sins
moderately, but the Scriptures tell US plainly
that the joys and the torments OF heaven and
hell are not moderate, but acute.-Rev. +. J.
Kiernan, Catholic, Philadelphia.
MORALITY AND JUSTICE.
In the white light of heavens throne mans
sin appears precisely the same as q womans
and impurity is as black on Fifth avenue as on
the Bowery. The world has two codes of
morals, masculine and feminine but that dis
tinction is not recognized in the other world.
Gender has no right to destroy justice. The
vials of wrath are poured upon the heads of
unfortunate women, while the most royal well
come is given to the man who is VIGOROUSLY
unclean. That is the accursed creed of this
hour. Injustice, iniustlce-basest injustice
Kisses at the woman, but kisses for the man.

young woman, with whom he fell des-
perately in love. To the astonishment of
all, he deserted and ran away with her to
Belgium. few months later he returned
to Mezleres and gave himself up. He was
tired by court-martial, sentenced to four
years hard labor and to be reduced to the
RANKS on the expiration OF his term of
punishment. Under the amnesty law of
1889 he was released and was Incorporated
IN the One Hundredth Regiment, garri-
soned at Narbonne. The military authori-
ties doubtless imagined that by sending
him to the other end of France they
would place him out Of the reach of the
influence OF the beauty that bewitched
him.
But In this they were mistaken. She
found out where he was, and soon she ar
rived at Narbonne. Once more he deserted
and went with her, this time to Spain.
This second desertion was aggravated by
the fact that he carried off his uniform
and arms.
Not daring to return to France, he led
miserable life in Spain for eighteen
months, but at las. he could not stand it
any longer, so he returned to Marseilles
where he entered the service Of the Foreign
Legion for five years under the false name
OF Stock. He was sent off to Tonquin,
where once more he proved himself to be
a good soldier, and rapidly regalned the
gallons of corporal, sergeant and sergeant.
major.
But the recollection of his desertion
weighed upon his mind and his false name
troubled him. Moreover, for seven years
he had not seen his parents. He became
homesick and longed to visit his native
place in the Ardennes. His term OF ser
vice being about to expire he went TO the
colonel and told him who he was. He was
sent back to Narbonne and thence to
Montpelier, where once more he appeared
before the court-martial. He was tried
and acquitted on account of his good
record, and the soldiers and spectators
who were present at the trial cbeered him.
But he had to be again reduced to the
ranks. because Sergeant Major Stock no
longer existed in the French army. At
the present time his friends and admirers
are making energetic efforts with view
OF getting him restored to his former
rank.-Courier des Etats Unis

Rayages of Absinthe.

Mr.. Rochefort's recent advocacy of tenn
perance has directed attention to the con-
sumption of absinthe in France, and some
startling statements in connection there
with are being made. Men as rule take
the absinthe diluted in water slipping it
slowly, but the women, to the consterna-
ton of the doctors, insist as a rule on
drinking it meat" with most terrible re-
suits to their constitutions. The number
OF brilliant men whom France has lost
through the abuse of the opalsscent but
poisonous fluid, from the great poet Alfred
de Musset, who used to be picked up drunk
and half dead every night in the streets,
down to the celebrated artist and carica-
turist, Andre Gill, is simply appalling. An
idea of the extent of the evil may be gath
ered from the recent returns of the Minis
try of Finance, which show that at the
present moment there is marchand de
vim, or French absinthe seller, to every

OF 100000 last year. The two mines have
lately been consolida ated, and British capi-
tai has become interested in the consoli-
dation.
Mr.. Dickinson is the owner of properties
elsewhere in West Australia. He is now
en- route to England in reference to the
placing of an enormous gold property on
the London market.
He is referred to as millionaire, and as
an American, liable to be worth many
more millions.
Mr.. Dickinson is an interesting talker
He has great faith in the mines of the
Coolgardie country, but says the forma-
tons are so different from what they are
in California, or in any of the States or
Territories here, where he previously
mined, that no comparisons can be
made. The formations are principally
slate, granite and dyerite.
AS for the camps" said Mr.. Dickinson,
they are very lively, but they differ a
good deal from the mining camps here.
The liquor business is SO regulated that
none of the disastrous results ensue that
are characteristic of the wild camps here
There are no dancehouses, either. The
camps are well governed and life is safe.
II went out in 1887 wit the late w. Fl.
Patton to Broken Hill to do some concen-
trating, and eventually went to Perth and
the other camps. 1t is wonderful gold
country. The formation is unlike any,
thing here, and the conditions are entirely
different. Sometimes gold is found right
on the top of the ground, the same as if
you were to toss $40 piece down here.
The deepest shafts there now are
scarcely down 400 feet. Bailey's Reward,
at Coolgardie, is the deepest, l believe,
and think it is about down to that
depth. The Great Boulder mine at Cool
gardie is turning out about 1000 ounces of
gold month. The average amount for
that camp for the past year has been about
10000 ounces month.
THE Murchison district has been pro-
cduing about 1000 ounces u month. The
various mines in which English capitalists
are interested are represented by from
ego, ,00O, 600 to f25, 100000 of stock. Great
Boulder shares which were of FL value at
par. are now worth s. or $40 share.
Perth, which l call my home, though I
am interested in the camp, is nine miles
from the port of Freemantle. 1t has from
1900 to $4,000 population, some of it be-
ing floating. Murchison, which is north
west of Perth about 1900 miles, has about
1900 people, and Coolgardie has about 25.-
600. 1t is north and little east of Perth.

ANOTHER PHENIx.
Ex-Assemblyman Brctz Creates a Re-
form Movement-The Tele-
phone.


OAKLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALI,l
9os Broadway, April TO-
Ex-Asse mbIyman Bretz declares that
populism in Alameda County has left its
first love and he started out this afternoon
to bring it back to its former loyalty to the
Omaha platform.
Some months ago Mr.. Bretz started out
on similar campaign and for a time
everything went smoothly. He took an
interest in weekly paper called Industry
and for several weeks the organ of reform
appeared with the name of Bretz as editor
and chief reformer. Somehow or other,
just how Mr.. Bretz does not explain, the
editor was frozen out few weeks ago,
and although the paper is still published
Mr.. Bretz has nothing to do with it,
According to his statement the great
public enemies, the National banks and
the corporations, have absorbed Industry,
and because they could not absorb him
Editor Bretz left.
His successor did not approve of Mr..
bretz reforms and from occupying prom
lnent position at the head of the editorial
column. A. A. Bretz received considera bic
attention further down. This displeased
Mr.. Bretz, but as he could not get his ideas
before the public any other way, he has
been forced 10 open another campaign of
allegiance and reform and 10 establish an
other newspaper.
He opened his batteries tonight, and
the tall, well-known form of the man who
was once member of the legislature, was
seen disposing of newspapers on Broad
way. His newspaper is called the Tele-
phone, and is a pretentious sheet of eight
well-filied pages.
The motto for the paper is "The Cause
and Cure for Hard Times and Mr. Bretz
will try TO have it officially recognized as
the organ of the latest reform wing of the
Peoples party.

ROMANCE OF A FRENCH SOLDIER,

The story of a French soldier named
Massiault. recently acquitted by the court

Young Massiault enlisted in 1882 in the
Nlnety-first Regiment OF infantry at
Mezieres. He proved an excellent soldier
and was promoted successfully to the
grades of corporal, sergeant, sergeant
major and adjutant. In 1888 he was a
