LINO0LN's COUNTERPART.
StroIled Into the House Gallery and
Attracted Attention.

In the gallery on Saturday last there sat
a man who attracted more attention than
would have been accorded the President of
the United States had he walked into the
seat set aside for him in the House gal
lery. The man,who was sublimely uncon-
sclous of the curiosity of the people about
him, was the absolute counterpart of Abra-
ham Lincoln. A lady, who sat beside
Star reporter, and who had known the
iberator well, almost tainted when this
man crossed her vision in taking his seat.
He was tall and lank, and wore immacu-
late broadcloth, which sat loosely about
his form.
He had the large, homely, but kindly
mouth that Lincoln possessed. and wore
the same fringe of whiskers on his chin
that Mr.. Lincoln used to wear. He had
the same gentle eyes, and iron gray hair
tossed back in rather long locks from his
strongly marked face. As he sat listening
to the debate, his face in profile was so
startlingly like that of the martyred Pres
ident that it was positively uncanny. And
when he seemed to forget his surroundings
there came into his face that worn, weary
expression which sat so often on Lincoln's
face during the last months, and the lady
beside the reporter, who was fascinated by
the resemblance, got up to leave the gal
lery.
II can't stand It," she said His face
dreds of people turned their eyes upon
him and the buzz of surprised comment
was almost audible to the speaker, but the
man sat oblivious through it all. Perhaps
he was used to it. man with Lincoln's
face and form couldn't go round over the
United States and not be told of it.

INTERESTS AT OAKLAND.
The Salvation Property at Beulah
Is In BalIington Booths
Name.

OAKLAND, CAL, Feb. 23.-The present
unsettled condition of affairs regarding the
commander of the Salvation Army in the
United States is creating no feeling of I'M
certainty among the local officers. 1t is
the general opinion that Darlington Booth
will soon be restored to his command.
II do not for moment anticipate any
thing like division of the army in this
country" said Ensign Reid tonight. II
do not think General Booth fully under
stands the position that Ballington Booth
holds in the estimation of the American
people. / had telegram from Colonel
Eadle telling me that he is now Temporal
rily in charge, and that Ballington Booth
has left the headquarters. The commander
had such perfect system that Colonel
Eadie can easily carry on the work.
Mrs. Ensign Reid is positive that there
will be no split.
Cali the officers in the army" she said,
''are sworn to obey God and the army. We
are not bowed down to Commander Bal
lington Booth, although we all love him
and his wife. | do not think he will be
away from his command for long, and
when he returns everything will be
Strengthened out. 1t is unfortunate any,
thing like this should have occurred, but it
will not affect the army. Every body will
be as loyal to Colonel Eadie as they were

There is considerable property in this
county standing in the name of Ballineton
Booth, and this will ali have to be trans,
ierred to his successor. The Beulah Res
cue Home, Children's Home, and Home of
Rest are all held by Baliington Booth for
the army, and these represent value OF
nearly $4,000. The feeling is that the
commander will soon be restored and it is
impossible to predict what would be the
result should General Booth persist in his

VIEWS OF RELIGION.
Rev. J. Cumming Smith Discourses
on So-Called Common
Sense.


Rev. j. Cumming Smiths evening lee
ture at Trinity Presbyterian Church was
on ''Christisnity and Common-Sense." 1t
was the second of series on the relation
OF Christianity to phases of modern
thought and action.
Mr.. Smith called attention TO the con-
fusion of conservation and inertia with
common sense. Continuing, he said:
All the progress the world has made has been
right against common-sense. In consideration
OF those SPIRITUAL, transeendent things l pity
the man who gropes in the groove of reason.
lake some OF the common-sense matters as
illustrations. The common-sense of one good
lady dictates that her child be kept from the
society OF children. That good lady or her
sister is likely TO take "common-sense"
measure OF requiring her child TO be silent at
the ia bic. In short, there are good people who
still believe that the proper way to bring up
children is to keep them down:
Children are not novelties. They have been
presenting themselves for the last 5000 years.
Yet people take widely different common
sense views in regard to their education.
There are people who believe children should
be compelled to go to school, and there are
others who think that theory an absurdity.
| Some beliye children should be educated from
the first along the line OF speCiaitfes and they
have strong opponents. Strong the OPP
posed beliefs as to the teachings of religious
principles.
When we realize the cortrariety and chaos
OF opinions in the world we have cause TO
shudder at the outlook if the future of religion
depends upon so-called common-sense. l open
my Bible and remember that good and great
men with the gift of common-sense have diff
fered and warred and driven each other to the
stake because of their different Interpretation.
Common-sense theologians of Chrristendom
are of different Creeds and they do not like
each other any too well, either.
There are as many varying views OF religion
as there are stars in the sky.
The common-sense of today is not the COM
mon sense OF yesterday. tell you there is no
common-sense belief that is worth your cred
ence for moment
Depending upon my fragile common-sense,
would say there are things in the sacred book
I could not believe. Religion is beyond and
above that realm. Therefore, 1 subordinate
my reason. 1 subordinate my judgment
Yet the signs of the times in the world are
the indications of a coalescence of the churches
on the pivotal fundamental truths. That,
believe, will be the Christianity of the future.
May we rise above earthbound common
sense into the large, more generous realm of
faith. May we surrender our common-sense
to His!

THE RISE IN CAMPHOR,
Price Of the Drug Has Nearly Double,
in Twelve Months.

Price OF the Drug Has Nearly Doubled
in Twelve Months.
The peculiar and uncertain position of
camphor in the market has caused more
comment and speculative gossip concern
ing this article, its source OF supply, meth
DDS of production, etc., than it has re-
ceived in years past. The manipulations
of syndicate, said to have headquarters
In London, and the air of mystery which
has surrounded its operations have made
camphor commodity toward which much
interest has been directed for months past.
Refined camphor, prime quality, sold at
81 cents per pound year ago, since which
time it has brought GA cents. 1t is now
quoted at SO cents, this decline from
the higher figure being attributed
to the bearing of the market by
the syndicate, or because of outside
competition with the syndicate. The fu-
ture course of the market is problematical
The syndicate commenced buying last
June and has not yet cornered the market.
Dealers believe that if the syndicate can
continue to purchase all that is offered
during another six months it will be in
absolute control. Whether it can do this
or not is uncertain, because the personnel
of the operators and their financial strength
are not known and can only be guessed at.
In view of the interest and the possibili-
ties of the situation. timely reference can
be made to Japan and Formosa, where
most of the crude camphor of commerce is
grown. In olden times camphor was pro-
duced in Sumatra, Borneo and other parts
of the East Indies and China, but of late
years they have been no factor in produc-
ton. Camphor trees are of the evergreen
variety, symmetrical in proportion, bios
soming with white flowers and bearing red
berries. They attain great age, some liv-
ing 500 years, and are of ponderous size,
the largest measuring fifteen feet in diam
eter. The camphor of Formosa is inferior
to that of Japan, which, coupled with the
fact that the former island is inhabited
largely by savages and the production of
crude camphor being attended with SO
much danger, leaves Japan practically to
supply the world. The annual export of
crude camphor from japan averages about
6, 1000, 900 pounds, of which one-fourth comes
to this country and the remainder is dis
tributed over Europe. This merchantable
product must be refined before it can pass
into consuming channels, and until two
years ago it was exclusively treated at
American and European refineries. The
attempts recently made to. finish the
product in Japan have met with moderate
success, resulting in Japan brands" being

Captain Morse. Who Left a
100000 Estate.

ALAMEDA, CAL, Feb. 23.-The En-
cinal Yacht Clubs closing party for the
winter has taken place, under auspices
more favorable than any preceding it.
The new clubroom had been entirely COM
pleted and things were well settled down
in it, so that the club was better able to
entertain its friends than ever before. Al
though none of the yachts have as yet
been brought down from their anchorage,
there is as much life at the boathouse as in
the middle of the season. The new club
house, with its bowling alleys, pool and
billiard tables and shuttle board, has
proven to be immensely popular. 1t is
quite the fashion for members and their
wives or lady friends to congregate there
in parties on evenings and holidays and
bowl Jenpins. 1t is even the vogue for
members to give little suppers at their
homes and retire thereafter to the club
lizards or bowling. The new clubhouse
was distinct success. and bids fair to
bring the Encinal Club into much greater
favor than it already enjoyed.

PATRIOTIC CONCERT.

A Washington Celebration at the TWEEN

OAKLAND, CAL, Feb 23.-There was a
Washington and Lincoln sacred and patri-
otto concert at the Twentieth-stree Bap.
Meads OF the High School presided, and
the pastor, Rev. Philip Graft, delivered an
address. He said:
TO study great soul like Washington
IS more instructive and charming than any
mere philosophical theories of the intel
lectually or the morally beautiful. If it
be wise and inspiring to uplift heroic
hgures before the eyes OF youth, we can
not too often hold aloft for admiration and
worship a character so strong, pure, SYM
metrical and well-poised. Under the
searchIight of microscopic criticism, views
from every standpoint of ethics and his
tory, he stands forth an object of pre-
eminence and love, not SO much for his
wealth or military exploits as for his ele-
yation and spotless integrity of character.
lnexpresslbly liner than printed words or
eloquent tongue, than genius or gold. is 1t
to possess the majesty of manhood and
the beauty of personal worth. Earth pre-
Sents no prouder or more distinguished
scene than that OF a man dedicated to the
art OF vlrtuous character-building
The best way to honor Washington is
not SO much with chime of bells or gay
procession, as it is to appreciate his superb
traits and incarnate his moral ideals
''1n proportion as we revere his character
will it be an index of either our progress
or decadence as nation. The more de-
voutly we draw around his forehead the
aureola of political esteem the more we
honor ourselves. When Washingtons sem
timents no longer flash from the eyes of
our citizens, or throo in the hearts of our
countrymen, or cease to dominate our coun-
ellis of State, our Republic is doomed

they were seen everywhere. No matter
