AN EVENING AT HOME.

When the toll of day is over and the
supper work is done,
When the romping, noisy children, tired
and sleepy, cease their fun,
Then We gather round the treside and
with thankful heart, indeed,
take me down the dear Old Bible and
the blessed Word | read.
Sometimes l read the bold Isaiah, where
he glances down the line,
Sees the Lamb on Calvary slaughtered
for these sins of yours ana mine
Sometimes DaNid's harp Is twanging,
tuned TO Praise the Lord, my soul"
Then, again ! see the leper cleansed and
every whit made whole.
Oft our hearts are stirred with valor as /
read Of Cideon's band,
or of Moses leading Israel toward the
fruitful land.
Sometimes John, the faithful witness,
points us to the Lamb of God,
Sometimes Paul or ferVent Peter, brings
a pentecostal mood,
Sometimes | read those words of COM
fort: Call upon Me, | am near"
Take my easy yoke upon you, | VIII all
your Burdens bear
II will give thee living water | will feed
thee living bread"

D0DGiKG THE TAX COLLECTOR
ment BY Refusing 10 Pay Its Dues
at the Needles.

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Feb. 4.-The
Southern Pacific Company maintains its
steadfast ad herence to an old rule of avoid
ing the payment of its taxes wherever it
is possible. A late instance of its deter
mination to defer payment of its just dues
at the Needles, in this State, has caused
considerable embarrassment over school
bonds.
In the year 1890 bonds were issued for
10000, payable In five equal install ments
OF $4,000 each, with interest at per cent.
Provision for payment of principal and
interest was made by levying a special tax
on the assessable property of the district
railroad is one OF the principal tax
payers OF the district and has failed to pay
any part OF its assessment in this line,
hence the first installment of interest on
the bonds has not been paid
The Oakland Bank of Savings pur-
chased these bonds, and now proposes to
take some steps to collect what is due on
the bonds-the first installment OF $4,000
and the overdue interest. Yesterday At
iorney McPike of San Francisco appeared
before the Board of Supervisors at San
Bern ardino and laid the case before them,
requesting some action in relief of the
bank. The board, by unanimous vote.
resolved 10 prosecute to final determina-
tlon such action as Is necessary to collect
from the Southern Pacific Railroad the
necessary taxes, penalty and interest due
on the bonds, on condition that the bond
holders shall hold harmless the company
from any cost, damages or liability as u
company by reason OF such action. They
have engaged the firm of Dunn & McPike
as special counsel to assist in the prosecu-
tion of the case. The District Attorney
was ordered 10 forthwith file a complaint.

SACRAMENTO, CAL, Feb. 4.-Boxing
matches tor prizes, purses or profit of any
kind are prohibited by the bill introduced
by Senator Pedlar and passed by the Sem
ate to-day. II Is as follows:
Every person who engages in, instigates, en-
couTages or promotes, either as principal, aid,
second, umpire, surgeon or otherwise:
l. Any spnrring or boxing match, or exht-
bttion for a purse or prze, or any boxing or
sparring match oil any nature whatever, either
with or without gloves, in any building or

charged; or
.. ANY ring or prize fight or any other pre-
meditated fight without deadly weapous); or

prlZe-hghting, vii or without gloves. is guilty
OF felony, and upon conviction shall be fined
not less than 500 or imprisoned in the State
prison not more than one year, or by both
such fine and imprisonment
Senator Wolfe opposed the passage sof
the bill OF the ground that it would seri-
ously interfere with the public exhibition
given by the Olympic Club of San Fran
cisco He stated that a small admission
fee was sometimes charged by the club to
sparring exhibitions in order to raise
funds for the m aintenance OF the institu-
ton, but not for individual profit. He
also saw no reason, he said, why glove
con tests for prizes should be prescribed.
Senator Pedlar came TO the rescue of his
bill by saying that any club that depend
ed for its existence on exhibitions of this
kino ought to disband. He concluded in
dramatic style as follows: If any man
wants to bruise his feilow-man for profit,
let him HE away to the mountains of Me-
yada, but let them not ply their vocation
within the boundaries of California
The bill passed by a vote OF % to z.
