SNYDER is OUT OF TOWN
And the Falsetto tiarbor Association Goes
Out Of Existence

After all OF the agitation, indignation
and noise of the past week. the city
council will not today reconsider it's
action of last Monday in adopting by
vote of to l, or rather adopting unani-
mously as the records show it, the reso-
lutions favoring a congressional appro-
priation for both Santa Monica and
San Pedro for harbor purposes. Coun-
Gilman NJ. ?. Snyder, who voted against
the resolution. and was therefore the
only member who had intended to have
the minutes of the previous meeting
changed in the effort to either secure
another vote upon the matter or have 1t
tabled will not be on hand today. He
is at Highlands Insane asylum. where
bids to furnish the Institution with sup
plies are to be opened before night Sny-
der would like to furnish the asylum
with shoes. President Teed or Council
man Munson neither of whom was pres
ent when the resolution was last week
adopted, may be yet prevailed upon to
lead movement for reconsideration,
but betting book that this will not be
done is as good a cash investment as
there is in the market. The fact of the
matter is that the resolution was not
last week suddenly sprung. 1t was called
up deliberately, every member includ-
ing Teed and Munson knew that it was
coming. Walter F. Parker says that the
latter had promised to stand sponsor
for it early in the day, and he ought to
know whereof he speaks Parker by
the way. was so certain that the incident
has ended beyond resurrection, that he
left on Saturday upon business trip
to Montana. making several wagers
with personal friends of hats and ties
before he left, that his resolution would
be permitted to stand upon the records,
just as it had been introduced one week
ago
The council will today adopt an anti
butchering ordinance. The finance
committee may bring in another re-
trenchment ordinance and the city at
torney is due to report the ordinances
defining the ward boundaries in the
three outside districts recently annexed.
The sewer committee may report
recommending that the oil inspector be
placed under the jurisdiction of the
chief Of police, and communication will
be received from the fire commission
requesting that a requisition for $1,000
with which to purchase new fire alarm
boxes, recently ordered as play to the
galleries, be approved.
The lease for the proposed new mar
ket site is due to be reported today, and
the long, gingery report from the sup
ply committee published yesterday re-
tanning acquisitions for supplies in near
ly every one of the city departments
because the cash fund is getting worse
and more of it, is to be submitted. On
the whole lots of important business
is due, but how much of it will come up
for disposition is very problematical.

James M, prySe

Odd Fellows Hall was filled with an
audience of about 200 people Sunday
morning to listen to lecture by Mr.
James M. Pryse of New York, member
of the Theosophical society, who has
stood close to VIM. Q. Judge for the past
ten years, having been also closely as
sociated with Nine. Blavatsky before
her death.
Mr. Pryse prefaced his remarks with
some observations regarding California
and the Pacific coast and it's great des-
tiny. Continuing, he said one of the
misconceptions that Is entertained by
some regarding the Theosophica1 socie-
ty is that it is inimical to Christianity;
that 1t is something which looks always
to the east for light. Considered as the
place where the sun rises in a higher
sense he would rather look to the west
ern country for the rising of the true
sun of light and knowledge, and here
on the Pacific coast in particular, where
the new race Is to find its BIRTH

lures that there is nothing new. under

to the rule; that Christianity is the
same world-old religion that was
possessed by the ancient peoples of
whom we have any knowledge; the
same that the ancient civilization of
Babylonia and Assyria was founded
upon. The John of the gospels is the
Joannes of Chaldea, and in fact the
name is thus found in the Greek ver-
sion. This places Christianity among
the oldest religions of the world. All
the spiritual teaching which the west
has had for 1000 years came through AL
exandria, Chaldea, Egypt and Greece.
We know that these peoples were pos
sessed of the ancient mysteries" that
they had certain cities set apart in
which the Hierophants were. By these
mysteries, whether in South America,
India or Egypt, they taught the real
science of the soul, giving out to the
people all they could understand and
reserving teachings that were more es-
oteric in their nature for those specially
prepared to receive them. The full in
itiate was a man who became divine.
What we call Mahatmas are those who
in those ancient races had been initi-
ated into the deepest mysteries. and,
having died, as far as the physical body
was concerned, have come back, but in
stead of forgetfulness have full men,
ory of the past-memorieS of all their
past reincarnations.
For 1000 years the mysteries nave
been unknown in all the countries of the
west. We have had but fragments
but q caricature of the real. But just
as the sun sets, and rises again, to our
physical eyes, these mysteries will re-
APPEAR, and instead of their rising out
of the ashes of the old civilizations, the
degraded and degenerated remains of
the old countries, would look for their
temperance in the west. We believe
the soul of man, after physical death,
does not go to some mysterious re-
gion, but returns to earth later to take
up its work here. We have all been in
many races and on many continents
have lived for ages on this earth and
garnered experience in all walks of life.
The races of the past now constitute
the races of the present. All that was
noble in the past lives in the present
and will go on gloriously in the future.
So it is a great mistake to think the
society simply looks back to the past.
Truth is ever young. Truth is eternal.
Only the forms come and go.
Here on this western coast all the ap-
parently diversified beliefs and sects
will run together and form one body of
belief Each will find his real knowl-
edge the same as that of his brother.
Every belief he has held sacred, every
aspiration that is noble and pure is still
his. He has given UP nothing but the
husks and refuse, and when they come
to that-and it will not be long before
they do-there will arise here in this
western land race purer, better, and
stronger than any of which we now
have any knowledge. Only that which
was good will live, and live eternally
in the hearts of mankind.

Spiritual Sesnce

Music hall to witness the manifestations
of the well-known medium, Mrs. Ada
Foye, were well pleased, not only with
the lecture delivered, but also with the
open light seance given by the lady.
Some 200 different names of departed
friends and relatives were furnished the
medium by the audience, and from these
names several apparently wonderful
tests were given. The way some of those
present were mystified caused many to
express their high appreciation of the
work which Mrs. Foye says was not
given to make people believe in spirit
ualism, or to give skeptics chance to
ridicule, but given merely as reality
to all believers in spiritualism.

even in California we are conscious of
the changes and added life which come
with the spring. The beautiful green
on the surrounding hills, the budding
promise of summer fruits, and the
wealth of floral beauty awaken in us
pleasure that even the scripture is not
without, the poetic picture of spring.
The season tells of time Fastening to
the end and the grave; but it also tells
of a new life and blessed resurrection.
1t also reminds us of Gods tireless
thought and goodness toward us. With
ceaseless regularity the annual reviving
of the spring-time has come. and with
1t the promised fatness of the well-filled
garners. His gracious thought should
be met by gracious thought from us.
The spring time carries another les
son. viz. the patient persistent service
we ought to render. The ranchmen. as
these spring months return. set them
selves anew to the old tasks of plowing
and planting. 1t is notenough that they
performed the same work last year. 1t
must be repeated now. And so the law
in spiritual husbandry calls for con-
stancy of effort. Just here is the diff

sudden effort more persons than now
would put forth the labor. But the law

HART TO DUNN.
He Approves the Auditors Efforts
for Economy.

S H. H. Hart has written letter to
State Auditor Dunn approving his de-
mands for economy at the various
state institutions Mr.. Dunn has the
right, said Mr. Hart to a reporter of
the G b e, ito urge retrenchment.
1t is strictly within his province to do
So and will have a good effect
DO you consider that the several
state institutions are being run extrav-
agantly?" Mr.. Hart was asked.
mo, I do not think that "extrava-
CANT is the right word to use. 1 don't
think that there is any extravaganza
about the way the institutions are con-
Quoted. They are of course costing the
state great deal more than they
formally did. This is partially explain
ed by the improved service and the bet
ter attention which the inmates of the
different institutions receive. For in
stance, few years ago at one of the
insane hospitals three people were all
that were kept on duty at night. While
these three kept going around all the
time they could not of course watch
the inmates as closely as, perhaps in
some cases, was necessary. Now they
employ twenty-three people to do the
same work. There are more people to
look after but not nearly the difference
that there is in the number of guards.
The same is true of other institutions
Then the state furnishes better
clothing for the inmates Of the different
institutions now than formerly, and
that makes the difference. But this
can hardly be termed extravaganza.
Expenses are certainly higher, and Mr.
Dunn's letter asking that they be kept
down as much as possible will doubt
less have its effect

A LA THE MIDWAY.
Unique Entertainment at Salvation
Army Barracks.

The scene at the SalvationArmy head
quarters, AL Wacouta street, last night,
was one Of picturesque as well as prac-
teal interest. A long, narrow ROOM
the walls covered with texts, a platform
at one side, draped in American flags,
and crowded with brethren and sis
tiers dressed to represent the different
nations, gave glimpse of the old world
IN a corner of the new. The meeting
last night was a meeting of testimon-
lals. The Swedish string band, led by
Capt. Virgins, furnished the music.
The meeting was led by Capt.
Berrlman, who was dressed to repre-
sent the American dude In all his
varied experience he never took a lower
role. He may have wished to convey
the idea that even a dude may be
saved. There's forlorn hope in the
suggestion. Brother Clarence Bacon was
America in Stars and Stripes. Sister
Drake, an old Dutch woman with wood
en- shoes; Sister Cole a Bohemian:
with kerchiefed head and picturesque
costume; Sister German as a Hindoo
woman, was very pretty, and her song
in Hindoo was charming Japan, as
represented by Sister Eliza Narroway,
was a cute little maiden The whole
scene was sort of worlds fair picture
The testimonials and songs to the tunes
OF popular songs were often Interrupt
ted by bursts of enthusiasm in the form
of "Hallelujah,' Amen" GLORY to
God" wish I was there, ''etc A song by
Brother Healy was especially popular
A meeting will be held tomorrow at 8
o'clock for the purpose of saying fare
we'll to Capt Berriman, who leaves for
his home Monday. Monday evening
the meeting will be followed by work in
the town. The welcome meeting for
new officers will be held Tuesday

Capt. Berriman, and the army said
Amen
