A DELIGHTFUL EVENING
hrs. Katherine Blood goods Song Recital at
the Friday Morning Clubs Rooms

the Friday Morning Clubs Rooms
Mrs. Katherine Bloodgood's song re-
cital at the Friday Morning club rooms
last evening afforded a rich and rare
treat to the lover of beautiful singing.
An exhaustive and varied program was
undertaken, but after the last number
the audience still clamored for more,
and the contralto had to twice bow her
Acknowledgements. Mrs. Bloodgood has
probably rarely sung to smaller audi
ence, but certainly no fault could be
found with it's most hearty apprecia-
ton. Her vocalism Is unexceptionable
and most Of her notes are glorious In
their purity and strength. A charming
presence Is enhanced by the eloquent
expression given to all the music she
sings. 1t is sincerely to be hoped that
Mrs. Bloodgood may be induced to sing
here again in a larger auditorium, where
the full beauty of her voice could be
still more enjoyed, and at more popular
prices. Miss Blanche Rogers once more
proved a capable accompanist and also
distinguished herself in several piano
solos; the Liszt Etude was somewhat
laboriously taken, but with more ex-
perience Miss Rogers will combine the
power of expression and execution and
develop into a fine pianist.
The program was as follows:
.Warum? Grillen Enthusiastically,
Schumann.
Q Don Fatale Don Carlos), Verdi.
Since First Met Thee, Rubinstein.
Thou Art So Like a Flower, Chadwick.
Who Is Sylvia? Schubert.

OCEANSIDE

OCEANSIDE, June 15.-This morning
the remains of Peter Aushetz were
found on the beach just above the city.
He had evidently been bathing, as his
clothing was carefully placed in pile.
He has been a sufferer from heart dis
ease, and it is supposed that the water
striking him caused a shock that was
sufficient to cause death. A coroner s
inquest was held and the verdict death
from natural causes was rendered. The
deceased was So years old and was here
from Escondido.

BLACK BROUGHT BACK
Tho Eloplng Actor Must Now Pace the
nucic


Deputy Sheriff Barnhil returned from
Needles yesterday afternoon, bringing
with him S. B. Black, the actor who le-
wanted, leaving his wife in the lurch.
He will now be prosecuted on a grand
larceny charge for carrying off with him
a diamond ring Of hers, also $12O in
money. When Black was taken off the
train at Needles Mrs. Freund, the mutu-
al friend of the couple, was aboard and
speeding eastward.
AS to the charges made against him
by the two women claiming to be his
wives Black says that only one, the last
to whom he was married in this city over
a year ago, is his spouse No. i, who
claims she was welded to him in Chica-
go eight years ago, Black repudiates.
and says he has not even known her for
that length of time. He is confident that
his troubles will soon be straightened
out and his reputation cleared. His
lawful and only wife was Mrs. Leah
Conley, and they were united in this
city by duly authorized minister of the
gospel. His true name was given.
Chester e. Black, Sam being only q
nickname. He will probably be ar
raigned in court today.

FROM NATURAL CAUSES
A Ruptured Liver Accountable for covlng-
toms Death

An inquest was held yesterday morn
ing by Coroner Campbell upon the re-
mains of c. c. Covington, the negro
teamster who died suddenly Sunday
night in the receiving hospital after only
an hours illness. The autopsy, per-
formed by DIR. Hit, the attending ply
sician, demonstrated that Covington
died from a rupture Of the liver, which
had evidently been sustained last week
when he was thrown from a wagon in
a runaway, the wheels passing over
him.
Covington had been at church in the
evening and was in good spirits when he
started for home. He was taken sud-
denly i'll and soon expired. A verdict
of death from natural causes was rem
dered in accordance with the facts. The
funeral will occur today from the Sec
ond Baptist church.

There are number of very bad boys

An old soldier named Ed Putnam was

A CHURCH INSURANCE SCHEME.

The Methodist General Conference has COM
mitted the Church TO n doubtful experiment In
approving the formation OF II Methodist fire in
surancc company, to engage In the business or
insuring church property. For some time an
organization known as the Wisconsin Methodist
Church Mutual Insurance Company has been
in existence. 1t was organized In order 10 give
cheaper insurance to Mcthodsts in Wisconsin
than they could get In the regular companies;
and thus far II appears to have been successful.
It's success has impressed the General Con
ference that 1t has voted to have n similar or
ganlzatiOn under the management and control
Of the Church, to do n general business all over
the country. An Insurance Board Of nineteen
Is to be appointed one from each Of the fourteen
General Conference districts. and five to be
nominated by the Bishops This Board Is to
appoint manager. Policies are TO be written
Oh church property at the rate charged by tho
regular insurance companies. One-thrd OF the
premium Is to be paid when the policy Is writ
ten, Onethird by note payable In one year, and
One-thlrd by n note for two years, the policy
holder to be credited with his pro-rata share Of
the profits, if there are any. There Is no in
timaton In the dispatches as to whether in
terest shall be paid on the notes and the plan
appears to make no provision for meeting pos
sbe losses.
1t Will seem TO most conservative business
men, especially those familiar with the subject
OF fire Insurance. that General Rushing a lay
delegate from New,Jersey, was right when he
pronounced this scheme visionary and chimer.
ical Insurance, he said. Is not n dream, but
business, based OH the wel-nttcsted conclusions
of experience. And the Church Is no more fit
to 90 into 1t than 1t would be to 60 into the dry
goods or grocery business. This view Of the
case Is not merely theoretical. 1t is proved to
be correct by the whole history of insurance
companies which have disregarled the we'll
settled principles Of insurance. The old-lne
companies are often accused of charging too
much for insurance But il Is TO be said of
them that their rates are based on calculations
Of experts who devote their lives TO the subject:
and 1t Is absurd to suppose that board of &C.
clesiastics, with no special knowledge of the
subject. is better qualified to shape the policy
OF an insurance company. The history of insur-
ance Is strewn with the wrecks OF mutual bene.
fit concerns, all Of which were highly successful
until they were called upon to pay money on
