BEDS FOR POOR MEN.
The Minna-Street Home Removes to
Better Quarters in the Same Block

The Minna-Street Home Removes to
Better Quarters in the Same Block
The ladies in charge of the charitable
institution known as the "Men's Home"
have lett their old quarters at So Minna
street and are now located in more COM
modious house at No. 81 on the same
street. The change of quarters was made
necessary within the past few weeks for
the reason that the home had not been
self-supporting. 1t was taxed to its utmost
capacity, but the number of beds at the
disposal of the managers was not suffi-
Gent to bring in the necessary income.
AT "a Minna street. near First, the
Home is admirably CHARTERED. A rather
large and neat-iooking house has been
rented and the ladies interested in the
work are busy putting things IN shape for
There are twenty-one rooms in the house,
and while only forty-two hunks are now
in place, there will be twice that number
within few weeks. The ladies are work
ing hard to bring the institution to the
notice of the charitable public They are
now providing beds and meals for 10
cents night and very often gratuitouslv.
Donations of mems clothing and of bed
ing are much desired and if cards are
mailed to the home such articles will be
sent for.

tan's Crimes.
NO MAN LIVES TO HIMSELF.
It Is Time That Men Should Be Their
Brothers Keepers, Says the Pastor
of Westminster Church.

In Westminster Presbyterian Church
yesterday morning the Rev. H. c. Minton,
DID,, took for his text Galatians WHO:
LAS we have therefore opportunity, let us
do good unto all men, especially unto
them who are of the household of faith. u
He took occasion to speak of the Armenian
question in the course of his sermon. He
said:
Christianity breaches the gospel of
practical duty. Matthew Arnold saws,
Conduct is three-fourths of life" but if we
rene Der that conduct is the language of
character it is nearly four-fourths.
The scope of the text is very broad.
The Christian should be an all-sided
philant hropist. God makes his rain to
fall on the unjust and his sun to shine on
the evil, and we are to be perfect even as
he is perfect. Christ bids US love our enc
mics.
More and more the world is catching
this conception. 1t is the very genius of
ethical Christianity. AS the world grows
smaller by the use of steam and electricity
and all that. the thoughts and sympathies
of men are growing larger. In distance,
as measured by time, there is no CITY in
the world to-day as far from San Francisco

A CAPTIVE BALLOON.

Some of the Dangers to Which the
Aeronaut Is Exposed.
The principal danger in captive work is
the always present possibility of the wire
rope parting, not because of the obvious
result that the balloon, being set free,
would at once make off at speed but for
reasons of a very simple technical nature,
albeit none the more pleasant by reason of
their simplicity. 1t must be understood
that when a captive balloon has been sent
up the required height, the neck of the bal
loon has to be tied up so as TO prevent the
wind from exertlng pressure on the en-
velope, and forcing out the gas, which
would result in the balloon very shortly
losing its lifting power and descending In
free runs the neck must always be wide
open, for otherwise any sudden expansion
of gas might burst the balloon. Hence, if
a captive breaks away, it is bound to make
an unduly rapid ascent, since it is suddenly
released from the restraint as we'll as the
weight of the wire rope.
OF course in such an emergency the gas
would at once commence to expand furi-
ously, and, unless the neck of the balloon
were instantly opened and kept open, the
envelope would inevitably burst. In the
shocking accident at the Crystal Palace in
1892 when poor Dale and his comrades
lost their lives, the balloon was started
with too much lift and commenced to rise
with undue rapidity. Dale, the aeronaut,
realizing the danger, opened the neck and,
in his anxiety to see that it was clear
looked into it, and it is supposed that his
head checked the outrush of heated gas,
with the result that the envelope instantly
burst, with terrible results -Macmillanfs
Magazine.

Oh esS?
w. W. Howard, who penetrated Arme-
mia, said in the New York World OF Sep
TENDER Is: ''The horrors OF the pre- sent
hour in Armenia have not yet heen told,
even in a thousandth part"
Well may Scotland's genius-bard say,
Mans inhumanity to man makes count

morrow night is to give answer in words
the world may understand. We are to do
good TO all men. Charity may begin at

We are less worthy to be Christians if our
indignation were less stirred had the Arme-

Let our gifts go with her. After all, our
prayer must be to God for Armenia for our

Queens are but puppets in his hand. His
plans mature slowly, but they mature. The
Sultan will play his part and then he will
pass off. Only let our prayer be that in the

pave the way for the coming of his king
dom, which is the kingdom of peace and
righteousness, and justice and truth.

COURS|NG At OCEAN VIEW.
DaShaway Won the Regular
Stake After a Hard Run
With Maybe.
Granted Hares That Kept the Dogs
in the Rear Until They Made
Their Escape.

Dashaway-"Old" Dashaway now
never ran better in the days of his youth
than he did yesterday at Ocean View
Coursing Park, and those who backed him
through the entire stake cleaned up neat
sum. No amount of training or running
seems to take the vigor out Of his big brin-
die body, and the best Of the thirty-two
dogs that chased the elusive hares went
down before him in hollow style.
The crowd that assembled was the
largest that has been on the grounds for
months past, and the quality of the sport
was fully up to expectations. The draw
ing brought many evenly matched hounds
together and unusually heavy betting was
the result.
The granted hares, some of which have
been in the paddocks since November last
were stronger than ever and in some in
stances fairly ran away from the dogs
darting into the escapes and leaving the
exhausted CANNES painting outside. This
was the case in the run between Maggie
and Faster, when the hare. after lead
ing the pair twice across the big field,
gained on them at every leapa as they drove
him toward an escape.
AS usual number of long shots won
their courses and kept the short-end play
ers in betting humor. Following is the re-
suit of the run down.

NEW TROOP ARMORY.
The Cavalry Organization of the Guard
Intends to Move Downtown

INTENDS TO move DOWNTOWN.
Troop a, the cavalry organization of the
National Guard, proposes 10 change its
headquarters from the building on Pacific
avenue to some place suitable for armory
purposes nearer the center of town. The
matter of a change was discussed few
nights ago and the scheme has met with
general favor. A committee of three men
of the troop is now at work trying to find
a building in the neigh borhood of Union
square which might be converted into an
armory.
For a couple of years the old light bat
terry, which had its headquarters on Pacific
avenue, found it difficult TO secure recruits
because its headquarters were too far from
town. When the battery was transformed
into cavalry troop the same difficulty
presented itself and the troop has set
about 10 remedy the evil. Ii suitable quar-
tiers can be found in the downtown dis
trict the new troop will give up the tan
bark ring and riding classes which are
now features of the mounted branch of
the service in this City.
The armory now occupied by the troop
was built for Light Battery A about six
years ago. 1t is now occupied by one of
the Naval Battalion companies, the cav
airy organization and q riding academy.

AN INSURANCE SWINDLER.
A Nebraska Correspondent Tells
Something of Mrs. DaVidson's
Eastern Record.

DR.. Brown has received the follow
ing communication, which he has
turned over to Captain Lees. 1t is
presumed that from this letter Attorney
Lloyd received the tips" which enabled
the prosecution to bring out much dam
aging evidence againt Mrs. Davidson:
HUMPHREY, Nebr, jan 5, 1896.
Dr. c. o. BrolUn, First Congregational Church.
San FrdnciscO-DEAE SIR: Three days ago re-
ceived letter from A. w. Ilihon, in which he
informed me of your present trouble with a
backmailer Mrs. Davidson. He wished me to
inform him at once whether that could be the
same woman to whose wiles became victim
in an insurance scheme she had in Albany, n.
Y, in 1884 or 1885. l wired him Immediately
the following message:
Undoubtedly the same woman. Picture in AL
bany rogues' gallery. VIII write.
He wired back an answer, but did not say he
would take the message to you, and out OF fear
that the information may come too late ad-
dress this letter to you in hope it might be OF
some value TO you.
This womans name when she swindled me
out of $2S was Mrs. Mary Sturgis. She had
been in Albany quite while before became
her victim, and had endeared herself to lead
Ing church people by her work in prayer
meetings, Sunday-schoOls and w. c. T. U.
work. The first time | her was at
woman's suffrage society OF which l was
member, and she was introduced as Mrs.
Sturgis. She spoke TO us of Christ and repent
anee, and concluded by representing herself
as an agent OF q WomanS insurance company
OF New York, and wanted us to insure with
her. Some time or other she had little slips
with explanations about insurance, which she
distributed among us. Not long after this she
called on me at my residence, 563 Clinton
avenue, where we were in business. She had
woman with her by the name of Mrs. Ayers
(afterward arrested Tor attempt to poison her
husband). She talked so sensible about her
firm and presented everything so favorably
that / concluded 10 take out policy for $1,000
premium $28, which she said included the net
assessment.
couple of days after received the policy
which she brought herself and after handing
me the policy, which afterward proved fraudu-
lent, she told me she had other serious cues
tons to ask me, and that was whether / was
insured with our Lord Jesus Christ. / told her
that as was in business | had made it prac-
tice never 10 talk religion with any one and
could not what that had to do with the
policy she handed me. She seemingly
very much shocked at my answer and left
shortly after with this same woman who was
with her on her first visit. a few days after
received letter with call for remittance Of SIS,
first assessment. Immediately wrote that /
had paid Mrs. Sturgis S2S, including first
sessment.
a short time after this she was arrested on

they would compel US to become of their faith,
even to the endangering of our school, social
and political systems. They would place the
Pope at the head of the Government and we
would all be his slave subjects
No true Catholic can be live patriot believ-
ing in the Popes supremacy. Patriotism does
not consist OF outward demonstration. The
American and Catholic may sing the same
songs, and one will be moved by the love of
Rome and the other by the love of home. Pa
triotism consists in action, animated by love
of equality.
"The only way the Catholics can improve
their patriotic complexion is by renouncing
the Pope OF Rome and forswearing forever all
allegiance to any and all foreign princes and
potentates
'Some OF these Catholics say they love our
country; the Pope says he loves America, and
l believe they and the Pope are honest and
that the latter loves it because he would seek
to establish herein the future home of the
Catholic hierarchy" [Long applausel
