The Body OF An Infant Found In A
Church Yard
1t Was Wrapped In A Bundle Of
Rags, Which Was Found
This Morning,

=
When Mateo Valdez, sacristan of
the San Fernando cathedral opened
the door on the south side of the
church this morning for ventilating
purposes, he saw a bundle of rags "
ing in the yard on Galan street. He
opened the bundle and was Mortified
to find the remains Of a newly born
infant. The bundle was evidently
thrown over the fence into the yard
last night. Coroner Shook viewed the
remains and ordered them sent to the
county poor farm for burial. Testi-
mony on the inquest will be taken to-
morrow, when, it is hoped, some light
will be cast on the heartless parents.

Penurious War Department.

Live heroes, when they serve in the
ranks can always count on shabby
treatment from the British authorities.
When the transport ship Warren Hast
ings, with 1926 souls on board, went
ashore on the rocks of the island of Re-
union last January, in pitch dark
night, with heavy sea running, all
England rang with the praise of the
bravery and discipline of the troops,
who stood drawn up in companies on
the deck till the women and children
were saved and then went ashore as
they were told off. Many of the officers
were then mentioned in orders and
some were promoted. The soldiers and
their families lost all their baggage.
After six months the war department
allows each man six dollars to renew
his kit and each family $3.50 as com.
pensation for lost property.

AN UNFORTUNATE BOY.

Crazy joe" small boy who seems
not to have a home, was seen today
on Houston street by Officer Evans,
who found him smearing fresh paint
on the show windows of stores on
East Houston street When caught on
Losoyo street little Joe raised such an
cutlery that the officer ordered him to
run home as fast as he could, which
the boy did, starting off in the direc-
ton of Avenue c, though it is said
he lives in hovel on East street. He
is demented and should be confined
for treatment.

CHALLENGED GOD.
A Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb of an Infidel Countess.

A Seeding Forced Open the Walled
Tomb of an Infidel Countess.
"In the town of Hanover, in Ger
many" Evangelist Moody writes in
Ladies' Home Journal, "there is buried
a German countess who denied the
existence of God and ridiculed the idea
of the resurrection. To further show
her contempt for Christianity she or
dered that on her death her grave
should be built up of solid masonry
and covered by large stones bound to-
gether by iron clamps. On this tomb
was engraved her defiant challenge
that through eternity this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
seed from some tree, either blown By
the wind or carried by bird, became
lodged in a small crevice of the tomb,
where soon it sprouted and began to
grow. And then, as if nature had
seemed to mock the naughty infdel,
she quietly extended the delicate root
of that Seeding under the massive
blocks of stone, and slowly raised them
from their place. And now, although
scarce four generations are passed
since that tombwas sealed that insignifi-
cant Seeding has accomplished what
God Himself was challenged to accom-.

1AMsLINa IN CRIPPLE CREEK.
Layouts I'm Every saloon, and Miners
Who Have Stacks of Wealth.

Out in Cripple Creek the gambling
says the Nebraska State Journal.
They are huge, gilded affairs, where the
Woodworking miners, after coming
from their eight-hour shifts, go to while
away their time and money instead of
thinking of home and mother and fill
ing their socks with money to pay of
the mortgages on the farms back home.
The men stand five and six deep be-
hind the wheels watching the players as
they risk their money, the less adven-
turous hardly having the courage to
make the play, till, having seen some
man get a winner, they, too, step up
and bet on the black or the red. On
the tables are stacked piles Of silver
coin and gold eagles, and the opera
tors of the machines every little while
take occasion to show that the game
is backed by much more than the thou
sand or so that is in sight by displaying
a stack Of bills in q receptacle behind
the table where the notes are thrown
when paid in, with kind of reckless
abandon that is quite taking.
At other tables a policy wheel will
be running, with SO many drawings
day. In another corner of the room a
crowd Of men will be shooting craps,
a large and intensely absorbed crowd
witnessing the play at each place. OF
ct one side stud poker game is run
ming. The old miners seem to favor
this game particularly, and their griz-
zled features show the intensity Of their
interest as the chips come and go.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Spec al Correspond ence.


Secre tary Sherman, in order to
justify his own turn around to-
wards annexation, made diplo-
matte break aud gave away a
state secret. He said that under
ordinary circumstance he was
opposed to annexation, but that
when he learned that a scheme
was on foot to put Hawaii in
possession of Japan, he favored
annexation. Thereby hangs the
whole story Of the hurrying up Of
the treaty for the annexation of
Hawaii, which President McKin-
ley sent to the Senate last week.
It would have come in time any
way, but the administration re-
Gently learned Of plot on the part
of japanese on the island and the
friends of the ex-Queen, who is in
Washington, and who made an
espe<a bouffe protest against the
ratification of the treaty, to over
throw the present government of
Hawaii and set up one of their
own, with the ultimate design of
turning the islands over to Japan
and that caused the treaty to go to
the Senate much earlier than it
would otherwise have gone. The
Japanese government had all
along denied that it had any
grabbing intention towards Ha-
wall, and it's denial may have been
perfectly honest and it may
have been entirely ignorant of the
plot to overturn the Hawaiian
government. AS the inform alton
concerning that plot was secret
and was not mentioned in the
Presidents message accompan-
ing the treaty, diplomats regard it
as a bad break on the part of
Secretary Sherman to have pub
licly mentioned it, aud the Japan
csc minister regards his having
done SO as almost an insult to his
cuuntry and is consequently some
what disgruntled. There isn't
opposition enough to the treaty in
the Senate to prevent it's ratifica-
ton, but there is enough to make
the debate quite lengthy, SO it is
intented to allow it to go over to
the regular session.
No stronger plea for some
action on the part of this govern
ment that will restore peace to
Cuba has been put forth than is
contained in an official report pre-
pared by the Agricultural depart
mentl showing our trade with
Cuba for "a perod of years. Fol-
