The sermon, which was eloquent and
powerful, was delivered by Rev. Henry
Woods, S. j. He opened his address with
a realistic description of st. Paul s
journey to Damascus and the incidents of
his conversion. "One. lesson which can
be drawn from his life as Christian" he
said, 'is that true Christianity consists in
devotion to the person of Jesus Christ,
our Lord, and the union of the soul with
Him. Considering Christianity under
this as pect it is clear that outside the pale
of the Catholic church Christian spirit is
decaying. Men respect Christ as a man.
reverence Him as teacher, but they are
gradually losing sight of these two points
which have constituted the strength of
Christianity from the beginning.
1T was the understanding of this that
gathered together the first associates of
the con rgregation of st. Paul the Apostle
They are united together by the firm reso-
luton to give themselves without stint
to the knowledge and love of Christ, which
was the great Characteristic of ST. Paul 4"
He concluded by exhorting his hearers
to join with them in their prayers to God
that this great gift ght be granted the m.

Ha-d Times and Debt Compel 1t to

The board OF lady managers of tho
French Christian Union of California has
decided on account OF the hard times
and a debt of $3.50 to close until further
notice the home for self-supporting con-
valescent or unemployed girls and women.
During the last year there have. been
sheltered under the roof of La Famille"
(The Family not only French girls and
women, but also American, German and
British women, who could not be ad-
mitted INTO other homes because their
age had passed the limit, or because their
cunyalescent state on leaving the hos
pitfalls required cares which those institu-
tlons do not take upon themselves TO
give. This caused Nine. Marie Marshall,
a member of the Red Cross Society in
France, to start the work for GONZALES
cents in LA ramille."
Convinced, through the good already
done, that such work must continue the
president of the French Christian Union

the entire responsibility to keep this quiet
family-llke shelter always open to those
in need of such. The debt has been in

office Is kept after the rules of the In ter
national Union, the Friends of Young

they must only bring reierences-but the

An appeal is made by Nine. Marshall
to all men and women VINO are anxious to

sixty giving % cents, will insure the rent

OWNERS OF AN
ARIZONA BONANZA
Arrival of Prof. Penrose
and Frontiersman John
Brockman.
An Enormous Body of R ch Ore
Blocked Out in the
Pearce Mine.
Shipments of 100 Tons a Day and
About 200 Men Employed-Will
Buy Machinery.

Among the recent arrivals here was
John Brockman, the widely known pio-
neer, banker, Indian-fighter and mine
owner of Arizona, and Professor r. A. F.
Pearose of the chair of economic geology
and mining in the Chicago University.
They are the principal owners of the cele-
brated Pearce mine, thirty miles north
of B,sbee. Professor Penrose,. who is a
brother of the lately elected United States
Senator Penrose of Pennsylvania, who
succeeded Cameron. is president of the
mine and Mr.. Brockman Is general man
ager.
The Pearce is one of the latest developed
big mines of the country. 1t was discov-
cred by a man of the name of Pearce, and
Messrs. Penrose and Brockman bought it
last May in this City. 1t is said they paid
$3.50 900 for it, most all of which was taken
out of the mine after they took possession.
Extensive bodies of ore have since been
developed, and the property is estimated
at several millions. The gentlemen are
here on business trip, and will ere long
put large plant OF machinery on the
mine, besides an extensive mill for treat
ing the ore, which is both gold and silver.
The ore is at present being freight by
horse and mule teams for fourteen miles
to Cochise, a station on the Southern Pa
citic Railroad. There Is a heavy product
from the mine.
Our ore is being sent to Pueblo for
treatment" said the professor. I'VE ship
approximately from 2600 TO 5000 tons q
month, or in the neighborhood OF 100 tons
a day. We have shipped more than that.
Nothing Is shipped that does not go 500 or
500 ton.
The mine was discovered in February,
1895. There is now ore blocked out that
Will run the mine for years-eight or ten
anyway. We have bodies of mineral that
are from thirty to seventy feet thick. But
this is not all ore. The shipping ore will
average about twenty feet.
"Our working force, including the
miners. freighters a1d others required,
amounts TO about 200 men. Hitherto the
ore has been handled by the use OF horses
ana whims, bat We have been enabled to
accomplish great deal in this way.
What we desired was 10 go along
solidly and substanii ally till we were war
ranted in making large Improvements.
Now that we are justified by the ore In
sight, We will begin to make them."
The gentlem men will be here for several
days. Professor Penrose has just come
from Philadelphia, his former home. He
was in Pennsylvania during the entire
time OF the Senatorial fight, aud naturally
is pleased at his brothers success. The
newly elected Senator is but 81 years old.
Professor Penrose has been mining several
years IN the Southwest.
Mr.. Brockman has been thirty years a
resident of New Mexico and Arizona. He
is owner Of large ranch on the Memoirs
River, where he lived for many years, and
is president and owner OF a bank st Silver
City. He Is an old Apache fighter and
was on the staff o! General Howard.
A town OF about 600 people, called
Pearce, has grown up at their mine.
Tom bstone is twenty miles distant.

A UNIFORM PRIMARY LAW.
The Political Committee of the Union
League Wants All Primaries
Held the Same Day.

Several important measures will be
recommended by the Union League Club
for passage during this session of the Leg
Islature. Among these will be one to
have the primaries of all political parties
held on the same day. 1t is thought that
in this way the work of professional po-
Iitical fixers may be thwarted, and the
voters given a better show TO express their
real desires
The political committee of the club held
meeting Saturday afternoon. There
were present ex-senator A. ?. Williams,
chairman of the committee; TREY L.
Ford, Charles f. Bassett, Con OConnor,
Colonel Miles, General S. w. Backus,
Major Meyers, H. 6. w. DinkelspieI and
General Friedrich. ~
The committee recommended that a
general meeting be called for next
Wednesday evening to consider not only
the primary law but other political mat
tiers of importance. In reference to the
primary law it is the desire of the COM
mittee that-it be regulated by the same
penalties and conditions as the general
election law.
On Wednesday evening the various po-
htical matters will be considered in detail

A Fine Collection of Animal
Paintings Given to the
Park Museum.
Swimming Races and High Diving
at Sutro Baths-The Chutes
Closed.

The wet and dismal weather yesterday
prevented pleasure seekers from enjoying
the park and Cliff House. No one was
stirring in the park except an occasional
horseman out exercising a trotter.
In the park museum there is new at
traction in the fine collection of water
color paintings of birds and animals
which were recently presented by John
L. BardweH. This collection of sixty-four
finely executed little pictures were painted
by Henry vor Almond, who is an artist
a naturalist and an anatomIst. He is con-
sidered very fine animal painter, and
some of his pictures OF horses were painted
by special order of the Sultan of Turkey.
He has also done some good work for the
Khedive OF Egypt.
In making these portraits OF birds and
animals he copied them from life in the
geological gardens of Europe. One of the
finest of them represents black leopard
of Java, which is a very rare animal.

Tax Attorney Z. B. Ryan OF the South

TO wander from tax titles, deeds, claims
and records, and roam over the crossties
Of the road INTO the State of Nevada,
where glOve-contests for a purse have
been legalized by the Legislature and ap-
proved by the Governor. He said:
1T strikes me that the legalizing of
priZehghts in Nevada is a good thing. In
a financial way it may be good thing for
Nevada, and it is good thing for the en-
tire country that pugilism is now relegated
to the sagebrush. The people who see
them will 20 there especially with tnat OBJ
iect, and the moral sensibilities of COM
munities which don't want pugilist exhibi-
tions will be shocked no longer
The passage OF the priZefight bill will
also have the effect of considerably de-
creasing long-range fighting III the news
papers. Ii will, perhaps, also reduce the
Der OF actual contests, for there is
place now where d fight can take place.
One man may say to another now, I can
lick you for money, maroles or chalk )
One or tine other OF them will have to GO
over into the sagebrush and fight it out or
stop talking.
''If other evils which no amount OF law
can suppress were confined to ole place
where they could be watched, regulated
and restricted, methinks it would be better
for our day and generation"
Thus ended the comm entary.

Feusberg was one time bellboy in the
