 Troop A, Ohio national guard. which is probably the wealthiest military or- ganization in the country, will attract 8 great deal of attention at the inaugu- ration ceremonies in Washington as the escort of President Elect Mckinley.
 The active members ale young meu of good families, finely drilled as caval- rymen, whlie among the veteran mem- bers are some of the wealthiest men of Cleveland. These veteran members have raised among themselves $10, 900 for the trip to Washington.
 Captain J. B. Perkins, a veteran member, is now on trip to southern Indiana and Kentucky for the purpose of purchasing 80 black horses, which will be brought to Cleveland and trained during the winter.
 The troop will go to Washington in a special train of two sections, accom- panied by their wives and families, ahl probably by Governor Bushnell and his staff. Chicago Tribune.

TO PROTECT THE HOME.
How the south Looks on the Despoilex of
 the Domestic Hearth.


 The introduction of bill in the Ala bama legislature few days ago which in effect aims to license any man to k the despoiler of his feminine relative calls attention to the attitude of the south on this subject in way which cannot fail to attract attention through out the north.
 South Carolina has no divorce law. It is impossible to secure legal sepa- ration in that state, even for Biblical reasons. A husband whose home is des- ecrated has no recourse except personal violence. Public sentiment sanctions the slaughter of his domestic foe, and there is no instance on record in which man who has committed homicide un- der such circumstances has been held to account in the courts.
 In Alabama and other southern states, however, divorees are granted When ever citizen kills man who has desc crated his home, it is the invariable custom to go through the farce of a trial, which always acquits the slay- CT. To do this jurors are compelled to violate their oath ito bring ill verdict according to law" In the interest of the jury the new Alabama bill has been introduced.
 Not long ago Mississippi husband who had shot man for an offense against the moral code entered plea of guilty. The jury brought in verdict of aequittal and added, We also find that the prisoner at the bar pleaded guilty by mistake and without knowl- edge of all the facts in the case.

The Snow Goddess.

The snow lives ran away last night And huI jed through the sky, And on the earth come mornings light, All still and white they lie. My Julia rises with the dawn And peeps the curtains through. The worlds the bosom of swan Against lake of blue. All wrapped in furs, and, oh, so fairs Her red cheeks all aglow. A winter queen, l see her therei The goddess of the snowi And as the elf flakes hurry by They kiss her lips so rare. And brush the lashes of her eye And nestle in her hair See now she fits across the heldsi Was feather e'er so light2 Scarce to her touch the soft snow yieidss Her shoe is such a mite And where her foot has left trace Upon the downy plain 4 single snowflake falls apace And fills tt up again.

You will remark that In B ellarmines thesis
there are two propositions:
~ That heretics may and ought to be cast
out OF the church.
~ That being cast out, the civil power mot
the church) might punish them even with
death.
Bellarmine's doctrine is the doctrine of
Thomas Aquinas, which explained last week.
The state al that time looked upon heresy as q
civil crime, and the question arose whether
the church was justified in communicating
nereucs when the state would punish them.
The answer given was that the church could
use her right even though the state did inter-
tere, but nowhere was the answer given that
the church could or should kill or burn
heretics
When, therefore, DR.. Wendte says that intol-
GRANGE was once the doctrine of the church
beg TO deny the statement. Intolerance was
once the doctrine of the state, and the church
had to acquiesce in it because it was matter
outside OF her sphere. If DR.. Wendte really
understood the doctrine of the separation of
church and state he would see that the church
has no more right to fix the civil punishment
for hereSy than she has to fix the civil punish
ment for housebreaking:. Whether heresy
would be considered q civil crime or not was a
matter entirely within the power of the state
and let me inform Dr.. Wendte that
~ The Catholic civil powers were never so
lntolerant as when they were at loggerheads
with the Pope.
ca That even in the reign of Bloody Mary
Alphonso Di Castro, Spanish friar, preached
against the persecution and was not molested
l3) That in the days of Louis XIV Fenelon
advised the civil powers to grant liberation.
~ That no Catholic ecclesiastic protested
against the abolition of the civil laws making
heresy civil crime.
~ That not a single measure of federation
was granted TO Catholics by Protestant nations
which was not bitterly antagonized by the
preachers

bought some old boxes which once be-
longed to Conley Leach. He paid $40 so
Tor them and found among the other con-
tents old coins ana rare stamps to the
value of $500. He had come to sell Mr.
Croker some of these stamps when he
began telling about the writing desk.
The next day he brought the desk up.
Its age was apparent. 1t was made of
rosewood, was bound heavily with brass
and was prettily inlaid with the same
metal. Substantial brazen handles sunk
IN brass shields showed that the desk was
not mere ornament, but was intended for
travelling. This fact was attested also by
the capacious interior. which was divided
OF into smaller compartments by shelves

The workmanship shown in the chest
and its oddness made each man DESTROYS

they had lowered the dealers price of 81
to "a 80 they each contributed 81 so, and
the ownership of the desk was left to the
arbitrament of fate.
1t was suggested first that they throw
dice for it. Nobody had any dice, SO Mr..
Crocker borrowed three 5o-eent pieces
from the lanitor of the building. Then
they matched" The odd man was to
take the desk.
At the word the three put down their
coins. When Casey removed his palm the
money showed tails. Mr.. Crockers coin
was heads. Mr.. Lambertson's coin was
still concealed. When he withdrew his
hand tail was exhibited. making Mr..
Croker winner.
That evening Mr.. Croker prepared to
take his prize home. Casey at once pro-
tested.

Then he smiled IN superior way and
told how glad he was he hadn't won the
desk. As the days passed and the antique
bit of furniture still remained in the office
Mr.. Casey grew to be quite chatter. The
result was that the writing desk was
matter of constant thought, and Monday
afternoon, spurred on by Mr.. Casey's
chatting, Mr.. Croker looked it over thor
oughly to see if he could not convert it to
some use about the office since he could
not take it home.
The desk was a strong one and with the
cubbies removed would make an attractive
receptacle for papers. While Mr.. Crocker
was examining its interior to see how it

THE BRITISH MAILS.
They Are to Be Assorted While in
Transit, and Thus Much Time
VIII Be Saved

Postmaster. McCoppin has brought about
change in the process of distributing
British mails which will effect saving of
several hours time.
Heretofore the mails from Liverpool,
Glasgow and Dublin have come in closed
pouch to San Francisco without any effort
having been made to do some of the work
OF assortment and distribution while in
transit on the overland train. The Amer
lean mails are assorted on board ship by
what is known as the sea postofice, and
pouches are thus made up for the various
destinations. Upon this system Mr.. Nc
Coppin thought some improvement could
be made by having City distributor meet
the incoming Ogden and San Francisco
train at Winnemucca, and then open the
pouch and do the work of assortment
while the train was on the way here.
SO he communicated with n. M. Brooks,
general superintendent of foreign mails,
and asked to be allowed this privilege.
Mr.; Brooks was agreeable and the plan
will be put into operation at once.
The mail on the overland train arrives
at the San Francisco Postoffice at 9 as A. NJ
BY the new method the sacks for stations

A MAN DROWNED.
Body Found by q Soldier on the Pre-
sidio Beach Yesterday Morn


A soldier of Battery D, Fifth United
States Artillery, named Philip Martel,
found the body of an unknown man lying
on the Preside beach near the Fort Point
life-saving station yesterday forenoon,
and notified the station-keeper.
Coroner Hawkins received word later,
and the remains were conveyed to the
Morgue. The action of the waves had so
disfgured the face as to make 1t totally
unrecogniZable. The flesh was entirely
gone, and there was no name or memoran-
dun of any kind about the clothing to in
dictate identity.
The unfortunate was well dressed. The
clothes consisted of black pique cutaway
coat and vest, blue striped trousers, light
brown overcoat, white shirt, dark tie and
gloves. In the necktie there was a pin
containing seven small diamonds, and
gold chain and silver watch completed the
dress.
Several bones were broken, but this
might have been due to the buffeting of
the body on the rocks. 1t may have been
that the man committed suicide, at least,
such is the Coroner's opinion. Evidently
the body had been in the water several
days. As nearly as could be judged it was
that of a comparatively young man.

could be altered, his finger touched a
hidden spring. a panel in the side OF the
desk at once fell out, revealing three small
drawers.
His cry of establishment brought Casey
and Lamberton to his side. Their chaff-
ing all died away as the first drawer
showed two $50 bills issued nearly fifty
years ago, but undoubtedly genuine. The
second drawer contained an old-fashioned
gold watch curlously carved and daguer-
reotype, on the back of which was an al
most obIiterated inscription. Some ear
rings of ancient pattern and a finger-ring
beautifully chased rested on some stained
on-batting in the third drawer.
The jewelry was so curious and the hid
ing-place so deity fashioned that the spec
tators were dumb with establishment.
When they regained their tongues they
overwhelmed Mr.. Croker with congratu-
lations. Casey admitted that there wasn't
so much of a Josh" on Croker after all.
Then he said:
"What will Belasco say?
But Belasco didn't say thing. AS soon
as he heard that he had dropped down
from 81 to $3.50 on a 'lot" consisting of
two $50 bills and some valuable jeweIry he
made Decline for his store. Word came
from the neighbors yesterday morning
that the curio-dealer was carefully prying
out the entire interior of all the many
desks, chests and boxes in his possession.
There were no reports of his having found
anything.
Mr. Croker is looking for more brass
bound, rosewood writing desks with hid
den springs.

$50 for his trouble. Mrs. Madden refused
to pay anything, and lately she told a
friend about it. and the friend felt called

In the other case the defendant was dis

What Caused a Reduction in the Sale of

Mack & Co., the manufacturers and pro-

Three suits have already been commenced
against as many saloon keepers who have

be brought so soon as sufficient evidence
can be gathered.
The sale of Peruvian Bitters had been
running down for some reason, and it was
finally decided to put detective upon the
matter and have it investigated He soon
found that an inferior imitation of the
genuine article was being sold in bottles
similar to that in which the real article
was offered by Mack G. Co. Complaints
