REV MR.. HANSON TO LECTURE.

A delightful evening is i'm store for
those who appreciate a good thing.
The lecture by the Rev, Mr.. Lamson, on
the 'Siege of Paris" preliminary an
nouncement was made in Sundays pa
per, will be given at ST. Mary's School
on Friday evening, june 5th, at $3.50
O'Clock. Mr.. Lamson is "a most engag-
ing and attractive speaker, and holds
the attention of his audience without
apparent effort. In addition to this,
the fact that his talk will be based
upon recollections of his personal ex-
perience in Paris during the siege,
when he was in charge of the ambu
lance corps, gives him peculiar fitness
for the task, and will lend added zest
and interest to his description of the
tragic scenes Through which he daily
passed. A rare treat awaits those who
avail themselves of the opportunity
to hear him, and those who miss the
entertainment will regret it, we are
sure. The admission fee will be so
cents, and the entire proceeds will be
donated to the church of the Good
Shepherd, by the gifted speaker

ELECTRIC BITTERS.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited
for any season, but perhaps more gen.
orally needed. when the languid ex-
hausted feeling prevails, when the liv-
er is torpid and sluggish and the need
of tonic and Alternative is felt, A
prompt use of this medicine has often
averted long and perhaps fatal bilious
fevers. No medicine will act more
surely in counteracting and freeing
the system from the malarial poison.
Headache, Indigestion, constipation,

''Let me commend to the most seri-
Gus attention of yourself and yo'r
congregation the appeal of Mr.Thomas,
the treasurer of our Foreign and Do
nestle Missionary Fund. This seems
to be indeed a crisis in our missionary
work. Unless something is done at
once our work must be greatly cur
tailed. What this means for our own
Diocese / believe you do not realize as
i am forced to do. In view of the ur-
gency of this call, / most earnestly
request you to read Mr.. Thomas state
ment, together with this letter, to your
congregation ON Trinity Sunday, May
31st, and request your people to pre-
pare to make special offering on the
first Sunday in June for the foreign
and domestic missionary work of the
church. ] hope we can put by every
thing of "a local, parochiai or diocesan
character and make a united offering
throughout the whole Diocese and
missionary jurisdiction for our gen
eral missionary treasury.
Contributions thus received should
be sent at once to Mr.. Geo. G. Thames,
treasurer, at theMission House, n. Y.
''Some of you have already given TO
this object; many have not given. Let
us all unite on this first Sunday after
Trinity in bringing our gifts to Gods
treasury, and let none of you come
before the Lord empty, but let every
man give as the Lord has prospered
him.
Faithfully your friend and servant,
JOS. BLOUNT CHESHIRE,
Bishop of North Carolina, in charge
Of the Jurisdiction of Asheville."

DON'T SHOOT, BOYS.
If You Fire Guns on the Fourth You
Won't See the Horribles.

Chief of Police Drew has issued the
edict, and will see that it is carried out
to the letter. He says there shall be
no gun or pistol practice in the city on
the glorious Fourth, and he means
every word of it,
So If the patriotic citizen wishes to
show his love Of country by popping
away with 10-bore shotguns or vicious
bulldog pistols he should refrain from
doing SO until late in the day, for if he
does not he will surely be lodged in the
city icebox, where he will see neither
Horribles nor fireworks.
Chief of Police Drew will see that his
order is carried out, for shooting on the
streets would necessarily demoralize
any police force, who would be unable
to tell whether a shot had been fired in
honor of the day or merely to shoot a
hole in a prominent citizen Don't
shoot bows

GONE TO HIS REST.
Jacob Heintz Passed Away at His
Home YESTERDAY.


Jacob Heintz, a well-known citizen
OF this county for many years, passed
away at his home yesterday morning
at 3 o'clock.
For some time past he has complain
ed of heart trouble, and it lately be-
came so serious that on the advice of
his friends he went to Auburn short
time ago, in hopes of being benefited
by the change. He rapidly grew worse,
however, and on Wednesday was taken
by train to Roseville and from there
to his home, where he sank rapidly,
and the end soon came. He leaves be-
sides his widow three children, Mrs.
Bertha Dewey, Miss Elinor Heintz and
Frank j., who is a deputy in the office
of County Clerk Hamilton.
Jacob HeintZ was born in the town of
Black Rock, near the city of Buffalo,
in the State of New York, July 5, 1889.
He came to California from Memphis,
Tenn, at which place he had been en-
gagged in the hotel business until the
opening of the war. Refusing to enter
the Southern army, he made his way
to California by water, crossing the
Isthmus, arriving in San Francisco in
May, 1871, from which place he soon
made his way to this city.
Here he conducted the Eureka barber
shop for many years. He took an ac-
tive interest in politics, in which he
was always true to his friends. He was
a Deputy Sheriff under Mike Bryte and
County License Collector for Sheriffs
Adolph Heilbron and Alf II. Estill. He
was engaged very extensively in farm
ing on the old San Juan grant, where
he owned a model home
He has been identified with the Popu-
list party ever since it's inception and
at the last election he ran on that ticket
and received nearly as many votes as
aid Sheriff Johnson. Genial and hon
orable, he numbered as his friends all
who knew him and who will hear with
