Although MFR. Reeds face is familiar to

him and began TO fire questions at the ruler
of the House.
BE you employed here" was the first
interrogatory, and being answered in the
affirmative he proceeded to inquire as TO
the salary and duties OF his informant.
Mr.. Reed was amused at first, but as "a
crowd began TO gather he directed the i'm
quisitivc stranger TO the desired committee
room and disappeared into his own private
sanctum.
short while aftcrward the visitor was
brought to Mr.. Reeds room and introduced
TO him. The gentlemen discovered that they

various persons he had seen and talked
to during the time from to IL o'clock
midnight. At the latter hour he went to
bed and slept until morning. He knew
nothing of the murder until shown a
daily paper the next day. Notwithstand-
ing his identification by the railroad
man, Loudeschlager, who was certain
he had met and talked to him on the
street shortly after the shooting, Abbott
stuck to his original story.
Yesterday morning after his arrest he
was taken before Chief Glass and close
ly questioned as to his actions and move
ments on Friday evening. He told a
straight story which was corroborated
by the persons with whom he had been
in company during the evening. AS he
had complete alibi he was accordingly
released from custody and the detectives
again took up the tangled clews in an
endeavor to locate the dastardly perpe-
traitors of the crime.
Late last evening Chief Glass was seen
and said that while the case was one of
the hardest with which they had had to
deal in some time, light was beginning
to dawn and they felt sure that at last
they were on the right track.
Several new clews had been discovered
and he is now confident that the solution
of the mystery and capture of the mur-
derer were not far off. What the new
evidence was he, Of course, could not at
present speak. but that they were on the
right track he was positive. New de-
velopments may be looked for today.

Will YOU be so kind as to allow me a
small space in your valuable paper tC
reply to Mr.. T. C. AleXander's challenge
to myself and other mediums in this
city in this mornings paper Mr.. Alex
ander surely takes the peaople of Los
Angeles to be- a class of weak minded
people, and l do not blame him, for it
does look to be that way from the haul
he made from the small admittance fee
he was to charge at the entrance to de-
fray expenses of the theater. Now, do
not consider him accepting my chal-
lenge at ALL but instead challenging me
to meet him at the Burbank theater next
Thursday night, where there Will be no
chance given a medium, and he make
another good haul from the small ad-
mittance fee he will charge at the door.
No, no, Mr. Alexander, am not so green
as that, and if you wish to meet me and
redeem yourself you will have a chance
to do so next Saturday evening at Music
hall, on South Spring street, where
promise to pay you SO for any one
thing that you can duplicate that L
will do, and | will also state here that l
am no magician and do not understand
the first law OF legerdemain, and at the
same time l wish to notify the public
that 1 will not be at the Burbank thea
ter on Thursday night, as 1 am engaged
elsewhere.
Now, l wish to give Mr.. Alexander
credit for having a long head, at any
rate in regard to next Thursday night at
the Burbank; he knowing that there
would be very large audience present.
and no doubt ne would charge that same
small admittance fee, and he knowing
he could well afford to pay $50 or $40 for
things he could not duplicate and then
skip out for new field with his pockets
full of easily earned money. Now, if
Mr.. Alexander is such great eXposer
of spiritualism, where is his notoriety,
where has he been all this time and why
have we not heard more of him before
VIII Mr.. Alexander please tell us why
he was forced to return all money taken
in at his entertainment in Ventura and
leave the house empty handed? Let
him explain if he can. And now in con-
clusion, 1 wish to say to Mr. Alexander
that it will take more than $50 to buy me

THE LAST SERVICES
The Funeral Of the Late Mrs. Nora D. Hay
hew, Beloved by Many


hew, Beloved by Many
The funeral services of the late Mrs.
Nora Dorm Mayhem were held at St.
Johns church yesterday afternoon, the
Rev. B. w. r. Tayler officiating. The
church was beautifully decorated with
white flowers and palms, and filed with
sorrowing friends. The service was
choral, after the usual Episcopal form
and impressive in the extreme. All the
kindergarten teachers of the city were
present, seventyfive in number. AS
the procession reached Rosedale ceme-
terry the young ladies formed a long line
on either side of the hearse and walked
beside it to the grave, where they halt
ed, and sang one of the kindergarten
songs, Natures Easter Story, and as
they passed slowly away each one
dropped flowers into the grave.
There was not one eye dry in the whole
assemblage, and this silent tribute spoke
more eloquently than anything else of
the high esteem and love with which
Mrs. Mayhem was regarded. Each one
OF her girls" as she loved to call them,
mourned for q sister.
The floral pieces were many and beau
tiful the handsomest of all being that
sent by the kindergartners. 1t repre-
sented the kindergarten symbols, the

four feet in height and being composed

avenue, near Twentythird street The
edifice, which is dedicated to the mem
ory of the late Rev. Joseph w. Parker,
is very graceful and pretty, being after
the Gothic style of architecture and
most commodiously arranged inside.
with a seating capacity for 600. Palms
and flowers were used as decorations
and were tastefully arranged about the
pulpit and organ.
The services We're opened by selec-
ton given by a male quartet consist
ing of Messrs Colwell, Hale, Foshay
and Anderson. This was followed by
the invocation and hymn by the con-
gregation, scripture reading and prayer
by the pastor, Rev. Arthur w. Rider.
During the offertory Superintendent j.
A. Foshay rendered one of his pleasing
solos.
The sermon was delivered by Rev. w.
F. Harper of Redlands, who chose for
his subject the pre-eminence of Christ,
taken from the text found in Col. lis.
Mr.. Harper, in his discourse, spoke OF
remembering such a day with devout
Thanksgiving. The opening of city
hall, court house or other public build
ing. he said. would furnish a theme for
lofty and ennobling sentiments, how
much more impressive then should be
the opening of a house dedicated to the
worship of God-and devoted to the
broadest, highest, deepest and grandest
thought of which man is capable, viz:
the pre-eminence of Jesus Christ, who is
presented, not as one of many teachers,
but as the deliverer of mankind. This
should be the thought stamped indeli-
bly, on the mind of every minister. 1t
should shine forth in living letters from
foundation stone, walls and steeple. 1t
should be spelled out at the baptistry
and communion table. 1t should be
spoken gently al the bedside OF the SICK
and thundered forth in the busy marts
of trade If we go back to the morning
of history we find this one fact shining
supreme, I present Jesus today as the
only Savior of mankind. Other men
have proclaimed the need of q new
birth; he alone has been able to renew
a right spirit within man. The message
for troubled and unsettled world to-
day is Christ above all, before all. in
ALL" 1t means publication of politics,
Christians voting as well as Christians
praying. 1t means the purification of
business. 1t is the cure for selfshness
and dishonesty. 1t is the remedy for
anarchy and socialism. In closing, Mr..
Harper said: This is to be the home of
Christ's church. He is the only one
worthy to legislate for and to rule the
living, organized company of saints who
shall find in this house place for their
devotions. Loyalty to him in faith and
practice will be rewarded by the dews of
heaven, and bountiful spiritual harvests
Within this beautiful outer temple will
be builded a more glorious one founded
upon the Lord Jesus Christ as the chief
cornerstone"

BARBER'S LITTLE BLAZE
His Room on Fire, But by Heroic Efforts He
SqueIcses 1t

Last evening at about 10: Is the fire de-
partment was called out by telephone
alarm for a blaze which occurred in
33012 South Spring street. The apart
ment was occupied by Andy Barber, the
Herald's special artist, who nobly dis.
tinguished himself by squeiching the
flames before the arrival of the engines.
Barber had a table drawn close to an
open window and on the table sat a
Rochester lamp. Unlike the majority
of newspaper men, Barber is luxurious
in his tastes. and his windows are drap-
ed with lace curtains and the walls hung
with numerous costly etchngs and other
works of art. Leaving his room for
few moments, he turned down the lamp
but did not extinguish it. A gust of
wind must have caused the lace curtains
to blow over the lamp, tip it over the
oil igniting and setting things on fire.
Some one saw the glare of the flames
through the transom and yelled fire.
Barber rushed out of an adjoining room
and was the first to reach the spot. His
window was all ablaze and he hesitated
not an instant. With the water pitcher
in one hand he extinguished the
burning curtain and with a high
1y priced smoking jacket in the
other he gathered up the flaming
lamp and smothered it. Just then the
1lremen rushed in with their Babcock eX-
tinguishers, but the work was done
The damage is comprised in a burned
table and cover, one pair of shoes, a win
dow shade and the aforementioned lace
curtain. Barber saved his etchings and
posings from the altogether and is hap
py.
