MESSIANIC PROPHECY

Monday evening, upon the Relation of
Plants and Animals.
MESsIANIC PROPHECY
This class Is conducted by Prof Dor
land from y to 10 o'clock.
Inc plan of syllabus setting forth this
WORK shows that prophecy has been a
development and growth. Revelation
began with dreams and visions and ap-
pearances of angels, and such means
as were adapted to the childhood of the
race.
AS the race developed, so did their re-
llgious conceptions develop, and the law
was given to educate the people to
higher ideal Of God than could bd rod
through these primitive means.
The prophets were teachers, and gem
orally were reformers who declaimed
against the superstitions and ecclesias-
tical ritualism Of their day. The greatest
of the prophets proclaimed the ineffi-
cheney of the law and its sacrifices; they
often opposed priests and condemned
kings, and conspired against the rulers
in behalf of a more perfect obedience
to Jehovah.
Messianic prophecy sought to educate
the people and inspire the hope OF the
nation, to teach the people that better
days were In store for Israel if the ma
tion would be obedient to jehovah
Prophecy deals largely with this pre-
paratory element, and 1t was only the
later prophets who had larger view
of Gods dealings and saw that the prin-
ciples embodied and typified by the law,
the priesthood the kingdom, the sacri--
fees and the bloody offerings, must at
some time be fully set forth in the form
of human flesh. and their highest and
fullest expression could be made by a
man only, hence they prophesied time
when the Messiah, man. would come.
This Messiah is typified under many
forms, according to the ideas of the
prophets through whom they came.
To the prophets the prophetic concep-
ton was a great prophet that should
teach the people all truth. To the kings
1t was kingly power to govern in right
eousness. To the priests it was great
high priest, and to the Levites it was
an all-sufficient sacrifice, to Abraham,
a chosen man of God; it was chosen
land and chosen people.
To the lawyer and leader, Moses was
great leader like himself, to spiritual
minded Joel it was the outpouring of
the spirit on all flesh, and to peace-lov-
ing Isaiah it was Prince of Peace.

Gladness Comes

With a better understanding of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge. that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease. but simply to constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrupof Figs. prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. 1t is therefore
all important, in order to get its bcne-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase, that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatlves or
other remedies are then not needed. If
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most slSiilful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
one should have the best, and with t-19
.well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction

A Lucky Defendant

sam White, who was charged with hav-
ing assaulted William Samis with dead
ly weapon at Burbank on May 18th, by
consent of counsel on either side, plead
ed guilty yesterday in department one
TO the charge of simple assault.
1t seemed as If half the inhabitants
OF the little suburban burg had come to
Los Angeles to testify in the case. The
defense had nearly fifty witnesses in
attendance. and as the testimony was
very conflicting. District Attorney Nc
Comas consented to the charge being
reduced. The court appointed Monday
next for sentence.
In any case the defendant must be
considered lucky, for Samis. whom he
assaulted, is now in the insane asylum
at Highland as consequence, the pros
ecution claims. of the beating he re-
ceived The defense, however, claim
that Samis had been on two previous
occasions in the asylum, and that his
appetite for whisky was the direct cause
OF his becoming mentally unbalaned
this last time.

Dole Found Guilty

at quarter before 10 yesterday
morning, the jury in the Dole case re-
turned into department one and rem
dered verdict of guilty of forgery as
charged in the information.
The verdict was a surprise, even to
the old stagers, it being anticipated
that the many contradictions in the case
would at least give rise to that reason
able doubt" of which the defendant is
supposed to reap the benefit. 1t is claim
ed that before retiring on Thursday the
jury stood eight for conviction and four
for acquittal. If that is so, then several
hours consideration and discussion of
the knOtty points involved in the case
must have failed to carry conviction to
the minds of at least four jurors. Their
conversion in such case may be ascribed
as readily to the discomforts of night
passed away from their homes as to
any conviction of mind resulting from
further consideration of the merits of
the case.
At the request of Attorney Foley. rep
resenting Henry T. Gage, Esq, defend
ants counsel the jury was polled and
after each juror had answered to his
name. Judge Smith set Monday next
for sentence
1t Is not probable, however, that sem
tence will be then passed. There will be
a motion for new trial; that will mean
delay. Then should the motion be de-
MED there will be the necessary delay
incident to preparing the papers in or
der to appeal the case to the supreme
court.

Bert Fancher was before Judge Smith
yesterday in department one, on trial
for burglarizing the drug store of M. w.
Brown, on West Washington street.
The store was broken into on the night
of April %. carnival night. and some
few dollars stolen from the cash regis
ter.
There was little of interest in the evil
dence ELECTED bearing directly upon the
burglary, but Deputy District Attorney
McComas found himself in the position
of the man who went cunning for deer
and shot man. In other words, while
the jury acquitted Fancher of the crime
Rs charged, he was, partly on his own
confession, proved guilty of moral
lapse that denied him the sympathy of
everybody in the courtroom.
By the widest stretch of the imagna-
ton Fancher could not be termed a
handsome man. He is understood, of
dark swarthy complexion and with a
glass eye that has replaced the left op-
tic in cavity that is sunken and sin
ister-like in appearance.
And yet his wife, who sat close to
him, while her baby played and crooned
on the floor by her side, was a young
woman of perhaps twenty-three years
who would attract attention anywhere
by her beauty. Hers was the dark, al
belt not the Spanish type, with COM
plexion CLEAR as a child's and color
that gave added charms to a most at
tractive face.
A. S. Fuller, clerk in Browns drug
store, testified that upon the night in
hn rn6 ictn l,Trr
o'clock and went down town. He re-
turned about midnight and found the
rear doors open and the cash register
rif1ed. Suspicion fell upon Fancher next
morning and he was arrested A foot
print left in the mud outside the drug
store door appeared to answer to the
imprint of Fancher's boot, but beyond
that there was little to connect him with
the crime. 1t was proved, however, and
in testifying. in his own behalf, he con-
ceded tnat ne visited u loose woman,
with whom he had been on friendly
terms, named Nettie Russell, and gave
her $1.50. In making this confession
Fancher was seekingsto account for his
whereabouts on the night of the 23d OF
April, and also for the money he had in
his possession
The revelation of the mans mate GUS
sedness disgusted the court, and when
the jury after few moments consid-
Grafton returned verdict of acquittal,
Judge Smith took the opportunity to
give Faucher a lecturing. He told him
frankly that he ought to consider him
self very lucky in his escape, and that,
in his opinion. he deserved to be sent
to the penitentiary for five years for
being untrue to such sweet wife as he
appeared to have.
Fancher had the grace to hang his
head and acknowledge the truth of the
courts remarks. His young wife was
smiling through her tears. and with her
little one in her arms led her repentant
lord from the courtroom.

EAST LAS VEGAS, June 11.-There
recen,Iy appeared a very ~comically
foolish article regarding the title
professor" to which. with just a
slight remark, the writer desires TO call
the attention of the public, not in a
cynical or preiudiced manner, but in
justice TO those, 10 whom the title
professor" belongs. l may state here
that tho writer is not, and has no pre-.
tensions to, or designs on, 'Proffessor-
ship" True 1t is one which is greatly
abused, yet that does not detract from
the title itself, or the honor of the man
who wear it, for we always have to
acknowledge real value. Let me ask
why, the one IN question is q 30 much
abused titlep Simply this. A prof

does this dampen u enthusiasm for
good music or lessen our love for good
muslcp No indeed! for there is always
room on top, and the man who earns
in graduation his diploma and wins for
himself the title Of Professor, IS entitled
to. and the world freely gives it to him.
But he who has never ever graduated

studied a particular branch for a few
years is entitled to no more than ssPlain

A NEW metal has been discovered
called glucipium, and it is claimed that
1t is already a rival of ALUMINIUM. Ii
the accounts be true, 1t seems des-
tined to occupy an important place in
mechanical and, more particularly, in
electrical construction. Its specific
gravity is only 200, its tensile strength
is said to be greater than that Of iron,
and its conductibility is equal to that
of silver. Glucinium, therefore, is
more capable of resistance than iron
and a better conductor than copper,
and in addition to all that, 1t is
lighter than aluminum. Its cost Is
about 500 q pound, or about 100 times
less than the same volume of platinum
and about ten times less than the same
weight of that metal.
