ON A CONTRACT
The Type Founders Co. Suing for Rem.
tai of Thorne Machines

The suit of the American Type Foun-
derS' company to recover $500 and costs
from the Herald Publishing company
was begun before Judge York yesterday.
The plaintiff simply rested its case oil
the complaint filed; any testimony tina;
it may offer will probably be put in as
rebuttal. The allegations are that ar
agreement was entered into between the
parties to the suit in December, 1894, and
that under its terms the defendant com
pany stipulated that for three years they
would use five Thorne typesetting ma
chimes, at an annual rental of $500, or
$500 for the entire term. The sum of
$500 was paid on this contract, but in
July 1895 the use of the Thorne machines
was abandoned.
The defendant, in making its answer
and cross ss-complaint, does not deny hav-
| ing brokeE-(he contract, but does con-
| tend that the representations made, and
upon the strength of which the defendant
company entered into the contract, were
false in essential particulars. That the
Thorne machines were in no way adapted
or suitable for use in the office of a, daily
paper, and that after giving them fair
trial and discovering the fraudulent rep
resenta tions of the plaintiff their use was
abandoned and the machines were placed
in storage.
In thus making answer the defendant
makes the same allegations the basis OF
a cross plant and demands from
the Type Founders company the sum
of $3.50 with per cent interest from
July IS, 1895.

are representing the plaintiff cor
poration, while the law firm of Graves
OMelveny & Shanklin and John D. Pope
are watching the interests of the
defendant company.
Much of the testimony put in yester-
day was of technical nature and de-
scribed the inadequacy of the machines
to answer the requirements of daily
paper. John Bradbury, president of the
Herald Publishing company when the
contract was made, described at length
the negotiations entered into and the
representations that We're made to him
regarding the many advantages which
It was claimed the machines possessed

Throughout the trial Dora Green has

against her with unmoved countenance;
on the witness stand she spoke of thing G

THE SHERIFF'S CAPTURE
A Possibility That the Negro Jasper
Wood Was Not the Offender

No further developments have taken
place in the curious attempt a kidnap-

Monday night. Jasper Wood, the young
negro tracked by Deputy Sheriff AL
White and the constable at Azusa, de-

Wood-by an odd coincidence both
names are the same-cannot identify
the person of her assailant, as she only
awakened from her sleep in time to
battle for her life, or honor or both.
The prisoner admits that he passed the

the hounds was his. He stated to Deputy

EAST LOS ANGELES BAPTIST
Rev. E. n. Brooks Discusses the Love
of What Is Our.

At the East Los Angeles Baptist
church the pastor, Rev. E. H. Brooks,
preached in the morning on 1.-The Love
of What Is Ours" Ps. 1876, "If pre-
fer not Jesus alone above my chief joy"
The Jews had great affection for Je-
rusalem as the center of their civil and
religious life. The love of what is ours
is right and wise. 1t Is every persons
duty and privilege to love- shimself-by
true self-respect, and by seeking his
own highest possible development. One
should make the most of/himself for
the sake of others as weh as fer his
own happiness. A person should love
his own home, and everyone should have
home, and not be contented to live
IN restaurants and rooming houses. A
person should be attached to his own
calling in life, and choose a calling
that he can respect. We, as Christians.
should love our own country and do our
own part as citizens to avoid great ma
tional perils, and to keep our gtNern-
ment from the control of unpr!ncipled
men. The United States is indeed the
asylum of all nations. but it should not
be run by the lunatics.
But more especially should everyone
llgion. wind and water wander round
the globe and grow fresher for the
| journey, but everything that has vital
| ity requires a home" There are too
many wandering peripatetics in religion
and many men have substituted clubs
and various other organizations
for the church-God's owIpappoinoed
child. We should love our own church
with devoted attachment. This is most
consistent with charity for all. The best
| way to serve the cause of Christ in
general is to serve some good church in
particular. The best way to further
the cause of true religion is to furnish
a good specimen of it in the church
we belong to by improving it's life with
in. by good works among the needy out
side, by beautifying it's surroundings,
| and by good MANAGEMENT

THE PHILOSOPHICAL MOVEMENT
An Address at Blavatsky Hall by Abb
bott B, Clark

At Blavatsky hall Abbott B. Clark
yesterday morning addressed a large
meeting on 1.-THE Theosophical Move
ment" He said in part: The Theosoph!-
cal movement is not the Theosophical
society, which is only the vehicle for the
presentation of Thesophical ideas. This
movement is as old as time, and has
been called the movement of sublime
perfection and human brotherhood.
This present society has had three
great leaders-Mme. H. P. Blavatsky,
VIM. @. Judge and Mrs. K. A. Tingley-
each great in their particular line; Nine.
Blavatsky as the pioneer, VIM. Q. Judge
as an organizer, and Mrs. Tingley, a wo-
man of great executive ability, as wit
ness the wonderful success of the cru
sade around the world just completed.
Theosophy is not an affair of psychic
phenomena and wonder hunting, but
belongs to the realm of soul, and has to
do with the spiritual evolution of the
race At various times the world has
had great teachers who have appeared
among men and taught the universal
truths Of their inner being, but time and
circumstances have conspired to distort
and materialize these truths, and now,
again, the cycle has come round when
humanity is once more to be enlightened
as to the true teachings Of the ancient
wisdom religion.

UNIvERSALIST CHURCH
An Anniversary Sermon on Power in
Weakness

Rev. A. A. Rice, pastor of the Univer-
salist church, gave an anniversary SER
mon from the text, Power is made per-
feet in weakness" - Cor. xii:9.
"No man ever really possesses any
thing save what he earns. Having Is
only assured by giving; life is based on
sacrifice and Christ's life was greatest
because He sacrificed most. All the re-
verses, 'distresses' or necessities which
are laid on a church are that it's power
may be perfected. We take pleasure in
weakness and our cry is not, give us
less to doand to bear, but more. We are
waiting for heavier burdens. Those we
have carried in the past have strength
ened us; those we are ready to assume
shall perfect our power.
"Our whole work is not only to bring
ourselves unto strength, but to set an
example before the world in church
building. The day has arrived when
churches must be built from the bottom
ard not from the top, in weakness rather
than in superficial strength. Many
churches are but ropes of sand without
adhesive qualities, because they have
avoided the sacrifice necessary to
strength"

Finally, this gospel of the kingdom"
gives US definite note for our preach
ing and teaching Of religion. We come to
men with religion that meets them face
to face on the level where their life has
to be lived, and that catches hold of their
affairs with no uncertain grip. 1t is a
gospel of intense practicality, so simple
withal that the wayfaring man though
fool need not err therein. The call of
Jesus to men is an invitation to gospel
that fuses with life, that weaves itself
into the commonplace and sanctifies the
ordinary. 1t calls upon you to be clean,
true, Christian man or woman, not be-
cause you hope to gain heaven thereby,
but because God ie setting UP kingdom

SIMPSON TABERNACLE
The Coming Revival Services Dis
cussed by DR.. Mclean

AT Simpson tabernacle Sunday morn
ing DR.. Mclean spoke from Acts xi-23
"Who, when he came and had seen the
grace of God,was glad" He said in part:
This scripture introduces us to the per-
sons and circumstances of the planting
and fostering of the Christian church
in Antioch. The birth and development
of that church are alike full of interest
and instruction. The enemies of the
early church meant that persecution and
dispersion should be destructive to the
followers Of the Nazarene. God taught
them that persecution did not mean an
initiation, but multiplication. The
mother church at Jerusalem, hearing
Of the gracious revival at Antioch, not
only sends them warm. cheering words
of fraternal greeting, but selects one of
their own number, a man peculiarly
adapted, to inquire into and help along
the good work.
Barnabas was sent on this honored
mission, and discovered to his great joy
that the intelligence which had reached
Jerusalem was abundantly verified by
the facts. In this text we have practi-
cal illustration of religious gladness
consequent upon the saving grace of
suit of what he saw.
With us the circumstances are re-
versed. Los Angeles is not ablaze with
revival fire, nor is the one ae Barnabas,
coming to be inspired by such work
already begun. Preparations are being
made by several of our own churches
and those of sister denominations to CO.

in series of revival meetings to begin

people of this city in general, and the

under a great responsibility to spend
much time in prayer during the few
weeks Thousands should be led to
Christ by this great evangelist and the

great door of spiritual opportunity to

ST. PAUL's CHURCH
The Good Shepherd 0iveth His Life
for the Sheep

| A goodly congregation in point Of
numbers as well as intent, assembled in
st. Paufs church yesterday morning.
The recently appointed city missionary
to the church, Rev. Octavius Parker,
read the service, there was the usual ad-
equate music from organist and choir,
and at the conclusion of the service COM
munion was received.
The Rev. John Gray preached from the
text. THE good shepherd giveth his life
for the sheep" and his sermon was in
brief as follows: A life of sacrifice is the
keynote of the most perfect chord in the
harmony of human life. To the untrain
ed and undisciplined soul the vibrations
Of the note of self-denial sound like a
| discord in the scale Of human experience,
but the discord itself is an element in
the most expressive and impressive
chords in musical expression, and the
| giving of life in the language Of Christ
is, after all. the finding Of it.
| Referring to his text Mr.. Gray contin-
| ued: In this text Christ is not speaking
of the moral force of the Cody life, or
the usefulness of the correct example,
but the saving force Of that impulse Of
the soul which rises to the relief of great
peril and snatches it's object from the de-
struction of sudden danger. 1t was for
| this purpose that God sent his Son into
the world, not to educate it, but to save
| it; not to cultivate it, but to redeem it;
and therefore Christ's greatest great
ness is not in his greatness as measured
| by the rule Of the moralist, or examined
by the analysis of the philosopher, but
| in his absolute goodness, that he might
by giving himself for us gain humanity
for his crown; and humanity with him
gains its highest end in the gift of God s
life, life which in the final consumma-
ton will be free from the power and eff
feet of sin.
Mr.. Gray in closing said that the gos-
pei is a message of salvation; that the
shepherds are to teach it as such, and
that less speculation and theorizing
would place the gospel in its original
and apostolic pasture, and that the fig
ure of Christ carrying the lambs and
saving them from the rough dangerS of
the thorny way is symbolic of his saw
ing power. By giving to us his life we
have been made partakers of the divine
nature, SO that without him we canno.
live, and with him we cannot die.
