But Miss Katharine Trent failed to
find anything interesting in the new

in penitent contemplation of the half
inch of Dicks forehead and smoothly
parted brown hair visible above the
edge of the paper. A box of choco-

CRIME IN LITERATURE.
Significant Fact That Deserves
Little Consideration.

Little Consideration.
An article in the Westminster Re-
view deals with Crime in CurrenE
Literature" the anonymous author AS
sorting that never were there so many
pens engaged in dealing with crime
and criminals as at the present timei
the few, seriously and solemnly; the
many, lightly and irreverently, and
unwilling of the moral mischief they
thereby engender." He refers especi-
ally to the fondness for detective
Stories" most of which, he finds, are
written by individuals who have not
and never had the remotest connec-
ton with the police" On this head
the writer furnishes the following sta
tistics:
The number of newspapers, strictly
so-called, published weekly in Great
Britain and containing serial stories
of one kind or another Is nearly 500.
OF these 592 are published in England
and Wales, 113 in Scotland and 80 In
Ireland. Out of this total it has been
ascertained that in the year 1898 no
fewer than 240 published complete, or
portionS of, detective stories-stories
of all phases and forms OF criminal
ity, des .ribing the details thereof with
greater or less degrees of minuteness;
here making the criminal sort OF

ly newspapers as are published in pop
ulous centers have long ago recognized
the Importance of this factor in help
ing to increase their circulation, and
they cannot be blamed for it. But 1t is
a somewhat remarkable fact, which
the inquiry into this phase Of the sub
ject has made evident, that in newspa-

published in Ireland the general char

QUAINT LITTLE CHURCH.
A. Restful, Modest, Lovely Place of
Worship Described.

Especial Correspondence of Record Union.)
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 23-Not far
from C street, San Francisco, lies
quaint little church, which one would
hardly hope to find in this restless
modern city. 1t stands in the midst ct
Q little garden where the choicest hoW-
srs grow. and where the birds of the
neighborhood are welcomed and lnYlted
to share in the lavish sunshine.
Already vines are nesting about the
church. hiding the rough walls ana
adding soft shadows to the interior, as
the tendrils are waited back and forth
across the window-panes.
One foregts the outside world, the
jangle of the cable-cars, and the clanS
Of bells, when once one passes the pof-
tails. 1t is the extreme quletness ana
restfulness Of 1t all that impresses you.
One feels instinctively that the cares
and trials of the world will be cast
aside during that hour Of worship.
The interior more than exceeds ones
hopes and expectations. First OF all
there is a charming little Yestibule al
ways filed with the flowers of the sea =
son and then one passes into the
church, where a great open fireplace
greets one. where the wood sputters
and burns, and through all the service
murmurs quietly TO itself, and sings an
accompaniment TO the simple hymns.
Above one are but the rough ratters
of the madrone tree, which were cur
down and hauled for the very purpose
from mountains not far away. The
formidable pew system is absent in
this little church, and in its stead are a
few dozen rush bottom chairs, while the
chancel is furnished with the utmost
simplicity; but a touch of color is Civ
en- by a stained-glass window of rich
deep tones, which softens the light, and
attracts ones attention at once. 1t
represents St. Christopher crossing the
waters with the Christ-child in his
arms. and is charming artistic con-
ception of the old legend.
On the opposite wall are four paint
ings Of bits of California's meadow
lands and oaks forming a unique frieze,
and harmonizing so we'll with the quiet
interior. But one must not forget the
flowers for they are part Of the beau
tiful whole One feels instinctively
that they have been arranged by an
artists hand, for there is not an over
abundance, but they are all so graceful
and pleasing to the eye. There are
great branches of live oak hung with
the hoary Spanish moss, the winter
evergreen, and as the season advances
the flowers change in color.
Sometimes the church is ablaze with
scarlet poppies. then as spring ap-
proaches there are clusters Of early
blossoms and glimpses of the pure
white violet At the close Of the ser
vice one carries away with them not
only an impression of restfulness and
peace and a renewed love for the sim
plicity of worship. but a handful of
blossoms to cheer them il their week 5

SOUGHT PROTECTION.
The White Wife of a Chinamar
Tells Story of Cruelty.

About 8 o'clock yesterday morning a
white woman dressed in the Chinese
garb ran into livery stable on Fourth
street. between I and J, and demanded
protection, claiming that she was
afraid of being killed by her Mongolian
husband
Deputy Sheriff Reese was near, and
when the woman learned that he was
an officer she readily consented to go
with him to the County Jail.
The woman states that about a year
ago she married a Chinese cook named
Lew Ying at San Francisco, and that
he had treated her badly and had an
ungovernable temper. She lived with
him but short time, when she left,
but was induced to return to her allie
glance about two weeks ago, when the
pair came TO this city.
She told a story Of having gone since
arriving in this city, to the Salvation
Army for protection, and thence to the
County Hospital for treatment for the
morphine habit, but finally returned to
her husband. who kept her in close
confinement.
Shortly after the woman entered the
livery stable and before she was taken
to the County Jail, her husband, Lew
Ying, followed after her down the
street with her hat, saying he did not
wish her to go on the street bare
headed
He was arrested by officer Wilson
and taken to the station, where he
told Chief Drew that about a year ago
he was regularly married to the woman,
and that when she ran from the house
this morning she was under the in
f1uence of a heavy dose of morphine.
The womans story that she has
been kept in close confinement does not
seem to be adhesive. inasmuch as Off
Ger Fitzgerald Thursday night saw her
and her Chinese husband making a
purchase Of morphine at a drug store.
Other officers have seen the two to-
gether and as there was no good rea-
son to doubt the story told by the
! Chinaman he was given his liberty.
