Rev. James Small Takes the Good
Samaritan for His Model.
OAKLAND, CAL, Aug. 23.-Rev. James
Small of the First Christian Church took
the subject OF 'sSuicide and Euthanasia,' y
for his subject this morning.
He said in part:
"That to kill off the suffering was Chris
tian and humane is an egregious blunder.
1t is Pagan to the core. They drown and
kin off the hopeless sufferers in the Pagan
lands as we would drown or kill off a lit
ter of pups here. But so long as the story
of the Good SAM aritan remains with us,
Christian men will never advocate this
heartless and Pagan notion"
Mr.. Small then took up the parable of
the Good Samaritan and continued:
1--WE can almost listen TO the footsteps
of the coming travellers. as did the waiting
sufferer. Perhaps the languid eye of the
poor, hopeless sufferer saw that the first
man approaching was clergyman OF the
Unitarian school. Hope dawns in his
heart. A man of sorrows and acquainted
with grief and suffering, the wounded
man must have looked to him for help.
But this religious man casts glance at
the sufferer and suggests the idea to kill
off the poor fellow and end his pain. His

the wind in the trees, unless it be the

against the religious mans remedy.
"Soon another traveller approached; it
was the professor of the College of Den
tistry in Oakland. Re, too, believed in the
One who should heal the broken-hearted
and relieve the distressed. Again there
was hope for the wounded sufferer. But
again came the doom of his disappoint-
nent. He came and looked on him
and passed by on the other side,

BERKELEY, CAL, Aug. 23.-Repub-
licanism has fairly established itself
among the young college men in Berkeley,

WlIo RErIABiLGTATED THE MA
TLON'S CREDIT.

If the applications for the SlOO 0O0, 600
thirty year per cent. bonds yesterday.
and the prices offered, means anything,
II means that confidence in the nations
credit Is restored. Never before in the
history of the country has there been
so great an eagerneSs manifested TO in
vest in Government securities. and had
the issue been ten times as great there
would still have been a demand for
more.
II Is no eXaggeration to say this. But
then what does It all mean? 1t means
that despite the cavil OF its opponents
the issue In question is a bond OF the
people-popular beyond question. 1t
means that the nations credit has been
rehabil!tated, and the question comes
up, to whom is the credit due for its
restoration? Certainly neither the pre-
sent Congress nor that which preceded
II are entitled TO the credit. for while the
country stood menaced with a monetary
disaster those two august bodies had
nothing tangible TO offer in relief.
In view OF these facts, and they are
plain 10 all, the public naturally asks
the question which heads this
article, who rehabilitated the nations
credit" and the answer comes back

BERKLEY OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
ACTION NEEDED.

The report cf the special committee
on the annexation of Berkeley, present
ell 20 the Common Council Tuesdsy
evening, tersely, clearly and admirably
presented the ACCESSIBILITY OF the mea-
sure, and the necessity Of the same
In the advantages that would accrue to
Both Norfolk and Berkeley by reason of
annexation. The committee have faith
fully discharged the trust rcposed In
them. The report shows Il careful con-
sidcration of the subject, not only In
the study OF the financial conditions
affecting the same, but also in regard
to the results which would follow from
annexation.
The committee showed from the re-
port prepared by the Berkeley Commit
tee that the gross revenue rn the pres
cnt assessed values OF Berkeley would
be s26,500 and that the expenses of the
ward. including interest on $4,000 of
bonds to be issued, would be $20 500,
leaving an excellent balance for contin-
gcnces. They show that there will be
no objection 10 the construction of the
bridge to connect Main street, Norfolk,
with Main street, Berkeley, on the part
of the Norfolk and Western railroad,
provided the bridge is elevated suftl-
cient to permit traffic on Water street,
and they are assured by Captain Casey
the United States engineer In charge
Of harbor mprovements--that the Gov
eminent will not oppose the erection of
the bridge provided 1t is Of requisite
heiGhth above the surface of the water.
and has a draw one hundred feet wide.
The benefits that would accrue to
Norfolk and Berkeley from annexnt ton,
the Firginian has time and again pre-
scented. To Norfolk 1t would Immediate
~ add an Increase of 5000 to 10000 to
its population. TO Berkeley it would
afford facilities for immediate improve
ments, SO greatly needed by It's enter
prising and progressive people. 1t would
enhance values of property in the new
ward, develop It's business, Increase Its
facilities for handling the same, and
greatly increase its population-ar OF
which benefits will naturally be direct
benefits to Norfolk, FER all that tended
TO the development of Berkeley as q
ward will necessarily be n part OF the
development OF Norfolk as q city.
The Nirginlan predicts that with the
annexation OF Berkeley as one OF It's
wards, Norfolk would show up In thu
census of 1900 rs exhibiting the great
est increase in population OF any cit,
IN the South, IL not In the country; that
instead of the remarkable showing Of al
Increase of &C per cent, as demonstrates
In the census OF 1890 over that OF 1880
1t will shaw for 1900 n gain of owe,
100 per cent: and If one steps for &
moment to consider the value Of this
showing as an advertisement OF devel
opment and growth and progress fo
Norfolk before the country at large, ant
the splendid results that will follow
he cannot hesitate to become an earnes
advocate for annexation.
Now is the time to act tn secure thes
results. The committee very clearl,
show the reasons for prompt actor,
Let there be no delay. as,the committe
assert: Norfolk has all to gain and no
thing to lose by annexation. and shoul
not let slip the present opportunity.
