The Plaza Church

The Old Mission church was once more,
yesterday, the scene of unrivaled pageant,
joyous music and stirring eloquence. The
affairs were most artistically decorated by
the devoted ladies' of the congregation,
whose exquisite taste was highly appreci-
ated by all lovers of the beautiful. The
mdsic. the sweet, love-inspiring Easter
music, was rendered with the easy and
masterful way for which the Old Mission
church choir has become SO noted Mrs.
Collette fairly surpassed herself in the
rendition of the Easter carols.
The sermon WAS preached by the
pastor. the Rev. Father Liebana. 1t was a
strong plea in favor of the divinity of
Christ. The orator, in his magnificent ef-
fort, commenced by calling the attention
of his audience to the intimate. the most
radical union between the divine and
the human nature in Christ. We always
find them manifested in Jesus side by side.
If he goes to Jordan and bows to receive
the baptism of the Baptist, as any other

AN ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. :.
The Second Endeavor Made BY Charles
Springer to End His Life. S,-r q.

From a room in the United States ho-
tel at o'clock yesterday morning
Charles Springer, an elderly man. who
was formerly a well known stage driver.
was taken to the city receiving hospital,
having attempted suicide by turning on
the gas Springer did not appear at his
usual hour yesterday morning, and on
attempting to enter his room it was
found locked, with the odor of escaping
gas plainly perceptible.
The door was forced and Springer
found lying in bed, the gas Jet being
turned full on and the room full of the
suffocating vapor. The windows were
thrown up and fresh air admitted, a
telephone call being sent for the patrol
wagon, which took the man to the hos
pital. He was not yet unconscious, and
a half hours work sufficed to bring him
around all right. Springer made very
decided objection to being unwillingiy
brought back to life, and repeatedly
asked the hospital attendant to shoot
him. cut his throat or give him a dose Of
poison.
He was old, suffered terribly from
heart disease, and was ready to die, as
he was of no further use on earth, and IL
he came around all right weuld at the
first opportunity make another endeavor
to end his life, and would make sure
work of it next time. After he was able
to be moved he was sent to the county
hospital to complete his recovery.
Springer is a we'll known character
about town, being a pioneer and one Of
the oldest Jehus on the coast He has
previously made an effort to suicide by
the same means in the same hotel, bu:
was found in time and resuscitated. This
occurred about four months ago. 1t is
probable that he will do better job the
third time

Rumors OF Disaffection-A Republican
Minority Reported to Be Looking
for Another Available Candidate

George c. Perkins will not succeed
himself as United States senator without
contest, says the Examiner of the 26th
inst. He has at present an apparently
clear field to victory. He has no oppon-
ents worthy of the name, and almost a
majority of both houses of the ,legisla-
ture. are pledged by their nominating
conventions to vote for him. In a caucus
he would sweep everything before him
but an expectant minority of the legis-
lators are organizing filibustering ex-
pedition and hope to force him into a po-
sition where some advantage may come
to them. What the character of this
advantage is may be inferred by those
who have followed senatorial contests
and understand the not infrequent basis
of negotiation.
The minority forces are practically
without organization. They have no
candidate on whom they can combine
their strength with any show of SINGER
ity. Charles N. FELTON, and Sam Short
ridge are mentioned as candidates, but
neither is such in any serious sense. Fell
ton is out of politics, and his friends de-
clare that he cannot be dragged into the
field. He is more than satisfied with
one experience. The minority, which
has determined to worry the managers of
Perkins, cannot hope to support its
cause with the name of FELTON,. Sam
Shortridge will be flattered to be consid
cred even in the field. and although he
is now directing some attention to the
delegation from this city, he is moi an as
pirant who will give any confidence or
strength to the minority.

kins' managers say that seventeen men,

Mr.. and Mrs. Evans Two small states
were washed by Evans and then marked
on each side with white chalk in figures
extending the entire length of the states,
l, 2, 8 and 4, the object being, as ex-
planned by Evans, to prove that the
messages, II any were received, were
written over, and therefore after. the
chalk marks were made. The states
were then fastened together by a rub
Der band and held by the committee in
plain sight of the audience a few min
utes, Evans occasionally coming up
and touching the states. Mrs. Evans re-
mained all the time several feet away,
apparently taking no part in the pro-
ceeding. In few minutes the band was
removed and both states were found
filled on the inner surface. the writing
being in an exceedingly fine hand, one
slate containing twenty-five messages
addressed to persons in the audience,
with names of the senders, most OF
whom were recognized. They were writ
ten in colors. white purple, red and
blue. The other slate contained large
number of messages in orange, blue,
leu dilU OtHeT SHdQeS. All OF JneSe were
apparently written over the white chalk
figures Evans had made on the slate.
A majority of the audience seemed sat-
isf1ed; some thought the states should
have been used without cleansing or
other preparation; few called 1t a
fraud. averring that the states had
been prepared beforehand and that
chemicals were used to develop the
writing, and that the large chalk fig
ures, being written on damp slate,
were saturated by the chemical writing
and consequently appeared to be above,
although in reality beneath. the chalk
marks. Whatever the truth may be,
nearly all were mystified, and will prob
ably be on hand for further mystihcation
next week.
Quite number of persons brought
their own states. and some were touched
by Evans but no reports were made of
the success OF failure Of these expert
ments.

THE DOCTORS STORY.

DIR. Zertucha, Maceo's physician, who
was the only man of Maceo's staff
spared by the Spaniards, has convicted
himself of lying in the first effort he
has made to explain the facts which
prove his treachery
Zertucha says Maceo killed himself.
Before Maceo shot himself. says the
coctor, he had been twice wounded by
the Spanish fire. The first wound broke
his left arm. The second broke his
right arm. Then, with both arms bro
ken. Maceo, who, it seems. had retained
his hold upon his weapon while his arms
were being shattered. turned it upon
himself and took his own life.
If Maceo was a man who could han
die firearms with both arms broken,
we can readily understand why the
Spaniards would pay Zertucha large
price to betray him. If the Cuban troops
have been drilled to hold arms and shoot
them with their feet, their final victory
is assured

cessful in the role of Judas than in that

senator's reelection. More than seven
teen men may be obtained If the argu-
ment of resistance be of the proper
sort. The claim is being made, as part
of the scheme, that there is serious dis
affection in the Los Angeles delegation,
which is pledged to Perkins. One of
the managers Of Perkins has been to the
southern city and. it is believed, has set
tied the matter Everything is being
done, however, to keep open the breech
Hervey Lindley is doing his utmost to
influence the delegation, and his power
is now far more significant factor
than 1T was when the delegation was
pledged to Perkins.
Waymire. it is claimed. is sulking in
his tent, and the San Francisco delega-
tion has become very coy A single eau
Gus will end the struggle, and for that
reason a caucus will be postponed as
long IS possible. If through any per-
suasion bona fide new candidate could
be found. the managers of Perkins might
discover that the situation was serious.
Until that candidate is found the fight
against Perkins cannot be made effect
i've. The managers of the senator are
confident that an early caucis will be
forced and that victory will come to
them on the first ballot.
The organization of the state senate
is causing considerable discussion III
legislative circles. The Republicans, as
already announced, will organize the
upper house. The president pro tem.,
who will probably be Thomas Flint, jr.,
will appoint the committees and will,
as matter of course. take his associ-
ates into his confidence. The Republic
an members will meet in caucus on the
afternoon of January Sd. The meeting
will be held at 8 o'clock in the supreme
court rooms at the state capitol. Senate
Eugene F. Bert wants to be chairman of
the caucus.
Senator E. S. Denison, who wants to
be chairman of the committee on public
buildings. is making a bitter fight to de-
feat Leslie Blackburn for the position of
sergeant-at-arms. Blackburn held this
position at the last session of the senate
and is making hot fight to be chosen
again. Ever since the Hilborn-Frick
congressional fight Denison and Black
burn have been bitter political enemies,
and the senator is asking no more of his
associates than to vote against Black
burn. Lou Martin and Mike Smith are
the other aspirants for the place. Ex-
Supervisor William Wilkinson was in
the race, but he has withdrawn and
seeks now to become sergeant-at-arm
of the assembly.
On of the most interesting contests is
that in which Senator j. H. Mahoney is
taking leading part. Mahoney would
like to be chairman of the important
committee on corporations. Nearly all
of the Republican members of the up
per house, who are serving their second
terms, are eager to secure the same
honor. The fight has become so hot that
the place may be given to one of the
newly elected members Of the senate,
although precedent is against such Sc
lection.
