Coming Events.

The coming OF Sol Smith Russell to this
city, or any other city in the country for
that matter. is always theatrical event, and
that he is always cordially welcome is shown
by the fact that he generally plays to the
capacity of every house he goes into. Joseph
Jefferson is the only American actor who
can be compared to MIR Russell in the matter
Of popularity. Mr. RusseTl's quaintness his
inimitable drollery, his tenderness and
peculiar pathos are all his own, while ma
ture has favored him with a face that IS
not only scholarly. but kindly and tender
in It's expression to degree that inspires
confidence in his audience. One feels in
tuitiyely that Mr.. Russell is a gentleman
Of noble impulses, and must be in real life
what he Is behind the glare OF the fOOtlights
And this is true. He is a man who richly
deserves the gracious estimate in which he
is held by the public.
The play in which Mr.. Russell will appear
at Boyd's theater Tuesday and Wednesday
night and matinee on Wednesday is a new one
written for him by Martha Norton, one Of
the most successful playwrights of the pres
ont day "a Bachelors Romance" is the
title and 1t is said to be oy far the best
play MIR Russell has ever produced. He has
presented the play with gratifying success
in several other cities. and from all ac-
counts the performance is one that will
merit the applause and approval of Mr.
Russells warmCst admirers. Manager
Berger has provided the most complete
stage settings for the play, and it will be
produced with the strictest regard for the
details. He is supported by a company
that includes Arthur Forrest, George Alison
George w. Denham, Addison Pitt, Alfred
Hudson, Bertha Creighton Beatrice More
land, Josephine Thompson and Fanny Addi-
son Pitt.

success. And a church succeeds only
when 1t wins in its legitimate sphere.
The work of the church Is to win the
world from sin unto Righteousness and
from the power of Satan unto God.
The church may be social success and
yet q failure and fraud as to the orig
inal intention. For leadership In the
church a ministry Is ordained, not to dj
1t all, but to lead, instruct, inspire. AS
the leader fails, so will the church fail.
No church can make a success sof the
pastor without achieving success it,
self.
Everything is a failure but the suc-
cess of the word of God. Only the Bible
brings real comfort to the longings Of
the human heart. John Seldom, the
learned lawyer said: II have surveyed
most of the worlds of learning, yet can
recall nothing on which to rest my soul
but the scriptures" Hellam, the his
torian said: 1T fits every fold and crew

The dramatist and novelist, Charles
Read, was led before his death to COM
pose his own epitaph thus: IT hope for
holiness and happiness in a future life.

dent of Harvard wrote: "a personal eX-

comfort me incomparably greater than
any other word that has ever reached

A condition of success is that this worsi
has free course. 1t must be spread-let

Let 1t be glorified, made glorious.
In order to this end. pray for us. 1. AS

Again, prayer enkindles sympathy
A parishoner called upon his pastor and
told him frankly he did not enjoy his
preaching. "Well, before you tell me
what you have to find fault with let us
pray together. Will you kneel down an,i
pray for me. Now tell me what fault

Brethren, pray for us, that the word of

HEADED FOR LONG BEACH
A Spur of the Santa F'e Likely to Reach
That Town From Santa Ana.

Dave Rogers was in town from West
minister on Saturday, and to a coterie of
friends confided that he had recently
taken up bet Of s1O0 that had been
made by Santa Fe official to the effect
that six weeks after the Southern Pa
cific company built their spur from this
city to the Alamitos sugar factory the
smoke Of Santa Fe engine would trail
through the town of Westminster. Dave
thought this was a good bet even If he
lost, SO he called the railroad agent and
the amount of the bet Is now in the
hands of a responsible Peat Land stake
holder. Whether the railroad will be
built from Newport or Santa Ana cannot
be determined, but 1T will likely be from
the latter point, and the road will hug
the Landing closely and run on to Long
Beach. Surveyors stakes have recently
been run through Westminster and the
citizens of that wide-awake burg have
been talking railroad as never before.
Dave was posted on all of these matters,
but when a Santa Fe man strolled
through town and offered to wager a
hundred that his road would build
through the town six weeks after the
Southern Pacific built their line to the
sugar mill, he took him up. and consid-
ers the bet a good one even If he loses.
Things have been unusually quiet in
Magnolia for the past week. The rail-
road gossip is threadbare and we hardly
ever mention 1t. Speculation. however,
Is still rife as to whether the road will
stop at the factory site or proceed to
Lpng Beach. The chief engineer told
me that the likelihood Is that when the
graders and all the grading machinery
are. on the ground the road will go to
Long Beach, and this Is where we want
to go.-Anaheim Gazette.

80 sin destroys our confidence before
others. 1t weakens us in laboring with
our fellows. If we are earnestly and
honestly living the truths we profess,
we will have confidence and the will to
talk them to others. But the reverse is
equally true. If I am driving hard
bargains in business and grinding the
faces Of the poor. will / find more than
half heart to preach the golden rule:
If 1 am cherishing any known sin in
stead of taking it to God and seeking
to throttle it, how can l rise in pulpit or
prayer meeting and urge others to a
holy life? church made up of such lives
can have no heart or thought for mis-
sionary effort.
But sin also destroys our confidence
before God. This statement finds sad
response in the Christians heart OF
hearts. The one who has grievously
fallen through the day is In distress and
anguish in his closet. He can only cry,
God have mercy and forgive The dali
ly and faithful battle against sin in the
strength of him who is mighty to save
is the only condition for life of grow

AT THE CATHEDRAL.
A Day of Double Solemnity-Impressiv
Sermon by Father Nunan.

Yesterday was a day Of double So
lemnity at the cathedral. 1t was the
feast of the most holy rosary and of the
patron of Right Rev. Bishop Mora, st.
Francis. Right Revs. Bishops Mont
gomery and Mora occupied seats in the
sanctuary. Prof. Stamm and his tall
ented choir were at their best.
After the singing of the Gospel, Rev.
Joseph Nunan delivered a forceful SER
mon. He alluded to the patron saint of
the revered predecessor Of Bishop Mont
gomery, and spoke feelingly of Right
Rev Francis Mora. 1t may not be mop
perfume, he said, to say few words
concerning him who, for almost half a
century, labored zealously for God and
the salvation of souls in the southern
portion of California This is, perhaps,
the last feast day he will ever celebrate
in land to which he dedicated his life's
service. In a short time he bids us
adieu to return to his own country,
crowned with the love and respect of his
spiritual children, and followed by the
fervent prayers of thousands whom he
leaves behind. Though he departs, he

has seen California grow as few states
have grown. HIS labor of love is now

His departure, I am told, grieves him,

that the mantle of authority he has

assiduously and so arduously labored.
Let US pray, on this his feast day, that
his declining years may be passed in
quiet and contentment, and nothing
may disturb his serenity. and that now
in the evening of his life he may enjoy
at least some little foretaste Of the
peace and happiness promised to the
good and faithful servants of God.

THE FRENCH CELEBRATION
The Fourth Anniversary OF La Legion

An Address by Capt. Bilaude and Il
Grand Family Ball at Druids' Hall.
Those Present

The French legion or Legion Fran
caise, which has became famous for its
elegant balls, banquets, picnics and cell
ebrations, added more to it's credit Sat
urday night by giving one of the pleas
antest family balls of the season at
Druids' hail. The ball was given to cele-
brate the fourth anniversary Of the or
ganization Of the legion.
The hall was beautiful with its gay
decorations, consisting of American and
French flags; flowers and palm leaves
added to the beauty of the decorations.
The attractiveness of these was due to
the good taste and skill of Capt. Bilaude,
who was the COMMITTEE on decorations
and the decorator.
The legion assembled in it's own hall
at p. M, and after the uniforms were
donned marched to Druids' hail. After
a cordial address of welcome by Capt.
Bilaude, dancing became the order Of

The Chinese are frankly following the
example of the Japanese in many
things. They are evidently bent on
profiting to the full by the lessons of
their late discontinue. They are send-
ing young men to Europe to study in
the universities just as the Japanese
began to do a score of years ago. Sew
eral of these students recently arrived
in Berlin, having sailed from Shanghai
with dozen others, who landed at Mar
seilles, four of them being destined for
the Paris lycees, four for the English
universities and four for Russian uni
versity. In Berlin there is boarding
house at which most of the Japanese
students who go there live. The Chi
nese on learning of its existence at
once presented themselves for admis-
sion. They were all the more anxious
not to be denied as they were informed
that the cuisine was Japanese. The jap
anese who were already guests Of the
house also manifested an earnest de-
sire that the Cinnamon should be re-
ceived. This in itself would seem to
show that the two nationalities, de-
spite the late war; are not wholly in

FIRST METHODIST CHURCH
The Pastor, Rev. Mr.. Wilson, breaches
to a Large Congregation

At the First Methodist church on
Broadway the newly-returned pastor,
Rev. John A. b. Wilson, D. D., preached
to great crowd in the morning, taking
for his text II Thess. Ill, 1: Brethren,
pray for us, that the word of the Lord
may run, have free course and be glori-
fed"
The preacher made good point when
he said that "a church may be social
success and yet failure" How true
this is. A stately edifice Of imposing ap.
pearance outwardly, polished Of inte-
rior, indeed, as fine as the famous tenn
pie itself, may rear its dome heaven
ward. The church may have social pres
tige, its affairs may be in a fiourishing
condition, and yet be as unproductive Of
good as the wheat sown among the rocks
and tares." 1t was strong sermon, re-
plete with apt allusions and containing
much food for thought for the most
earnest Christian, as well as the casual
church-goer.
He said in part: This text reveals an
essential condition of ministerial suc-

DR.. Fowler's Eloquent Sermon on Sins
Three-F Fold Front.

Beautiful decorations greeted the
large congregation at Y. M. C. A. hall
yesterday. DR.. Fowler's sermon was on
Sins Three-Fold Front, taking for his
text Psalm 119, 6: ''Then shall not be
ashamed when have respect unto all

The speaker dwelt on the word

which the text couples with disobedi-
ence.

THE LBNTEN SPELL.
Even Local Political Affairs are in a
Gloom.

tflOums
Lent has put quietus upon almost every
thing, including politics, and, although the
date upon which the Borough Council is to
be organized and the appointments of off
cials for the fiscal year of 1867 are to be
made is less than scventy-two hours distant
the interest in it appears to be no greater
than the concern that is given generally at
present for the observance of next Christmas
Nobody appears to know anything, hear
anything or TO be able to guess anything.
All are saying nothing and saving wood.
The COuncilmen and Councilmen-eiect in
both the Republican aud Democratic parties
are holding their own counsel and evidently
don't propose to betray their intentions until
they think the time arrives This is per-
picking action for period Immediately pre-
ceding reorganization of Council, but not
without a precedent, and in keeping with
the policies Of both parties prior to the late
election
A careful canvass shows that nothing au-
! thortively can be cleaned for publication
concerning the reorganization, (notwith-
standing an announcement made to-day
by Pottsville paper,) except that
it will take place next Monday evening, at
| 1880 o'clock, and that the Councilmen don't
/ propose to run the gauntlet as they did last
year, l. c. the police force will be on duty to
keep the passage way open from the street to
the Council Chamber and curious people will
be obliged to stand aside until the Council
men can reach their stations. This rule has
been made necessary by the increased inter
est manifested each succeeding year in this
important proceeding of Council. 1t is a
strong counter-attraction to the best show
that the theatrical managers can procure and
but three avenues for coping with the situa-
tion; 1), Make private entrance to the
Council Chamber; (2), charge a price for
admission; (3) keep the crowd at a distance,
and the latter has been selected as the most
economical and effective
The retiring Councilmen are James Kane,
Timothy O'Brien, Patrick Gaffigan and
Michael Dougherty. Those who are to take
part in the reorganization are William Nc
