: WILL STAY AT HOME
Assistant Fire Chief Smith Not Going
to the Klondike

Assistant Fire Chief Ed Smith Is not
going to the Klondike, neither will he
resign his position in the fire depart
ment. Although this will be a surprise
to his many friends here and elsewhere,
1t will be welcome news. The announce
ment several months ago that he had be-
come afflicted with Klondike fever and
would start for Alaska in the early
spring, was received with regret. The
patriotic portion of the community
found in the news a solution of the
money question. OF course II he was to
go he would return with enough bullion
to forever remove the danger of de-
pletion of the gold reserve. That fund
will now have to be provided for other
wise.
For several weeks the assistant chief
has been debating in his mind whether
he had not better stay at home. He
made trip to San Francisco to see
about transportation and got little in
formation that was satisfactory. Then
he came back and finally decided to re-
main in Southern California. Having
come to this conclusion he was in a
quandary. How to tell his friends wor-
ried him more than had his decision.
After wasting pounds of gray matter
and passing sleepless nights he came
out boldly with the announcement of
his intentions. Thus the Klondike rush
Is to be depleted.

AN OLD sw1Np1E
A Supposed Thief Tries to Get Another
Mans Watch

About o'clock yesterday afternoon q
Marcher's jewelry store at 256 South
broadway and asked for the gold watch
which had been left Saturday evening by
4. H. Jackson to be mended. He stated
that the watch was his own. He was
asked for the tag bearing the number of
the timepiece. His peculiar manner of
answering, first, that he hadn't re-
ceived any tag, and, later, that he had
lost 1t, caused the jeweler to grow sus-
picious that his visitor was trying to
impose upon him. When the man who
had represented himself as the owner of
the watch could not give description OF
1t this suspicion became certainty in the
jewelers. mind.
Mr.. Marcher winked at his clerk, who
understood the signal and stepped to the
rear Of the store to telephone for po-
liceman. In the meantime the propri-
etor tried to detain his visitor until the
officer should arrive, but the fellow soon
became uneasy and left the store. The
clerk followed him down Broadway to
Third and around to Spring. where he
disappeared into a building and could
not be found again.
The watch which he tried to get Is a
valuable timepiece, worth $50. The man
was evidently thief. He Is described as
five feet nine inches tall, smooth shaven
and of light complexion.
Only week ago a valuable gold watch
belonging to G. w. Thompson was stolen
from the same store by man who called
for it under the pretense Of being the
owner. 1t is believed that the theft was
committed by the same person.

ASTRONOMY OF THE BIBLE
Prof. Lewis Swift Gives His Opinion
On the Subject

Prof. Lewis Swift of the Lowe OBJ
servatory addressed large meeting Of
the astronomical section Of the South
ern California academy Of sciences last
evening on "The Astronomy Of, the
Bible" Prof. Swift stated that he had
long desired to address an audience on
the subject, and to correct wrong i'm
pressions regarding the meaning Of pas
sages in the Bible relating to astronomy.
"All that history teaches us Of as
tronomy," said he, ''is that in the begin
ming God created the heavens and the
earth. The Bible teaches us nothing Of
the mysteries that lie hidden In the
pathway Of the unknown beyond. The
meaning Of the Bible Is some times very
vague and confusing, as in the matter
of stars. When stars are spoken Of in
the Bible, we do not know what kind Of
stars are meant. Now in the case Of the
star Of Jesus. I do not believe that there
was ever such a star. l do not believe
that the wise men followed any such
star. In my opinion the star of Bethle-
ham was simply a light and not a
heavenly body. Then in another part of
the good book we find that the sun
stopped for day. The Bible does not
say that the sun stopped for day. but
the Bible says that some one said so.
Now. believe that the person who said
1t was poet and not telling the truth.
You will find that in almost every case
this is the true state. The Bible does
not conflict with science, and while not
claiming to be a book of science, con-
tains many scientific truths Many of
the seeming mistakes are due to the
people who say them"

NO LONGER AT OUTS
Thomas McGlynn and Gertie French
Conclude to Get Married

Gertie French has forgiven Thomas
McGlynn and now wants to marry him.
She has concluded that their little diff
Guilty few nights ago was only a low
ers' quarrel. At that time McGlynn
went to the woman's room at the Owens
on South Main street and dragged her
out Of bed. She soon exchanged pair
Of blue eyes for black ones. McGlynn
then commanded her to follow him to a
spot which he had selected as a nice
place to kill her.
On the way the couple encountered
Officer Robbins, who had been sum-
moned to the scene by telephone and he
arrested McGlynn on a charge Of bat
terry. The woman swore to complaint
and said that she would prosecute the
case vigorously.
AS soon as McGlynn was locked up
the whole affair began to appear very
ridiculous to him and he concluded that
he was only fooling all the time. He
knew that he really loved the woman.
He had only knocked her down and used
her for football for fun, and it seemed
passing strange that she had not been
amused at the sport. AS to his threats
of pins, for he was only joshing when he
uttered them. Having come to these
conclusions himself he called Gertie to
him and told her what he thought of the
whole matter. He said that if she was
willing to take him back into her love
again, and incidentally get him out of
jail by withdrawing the complaint, he
would give up drink and become an
honorable husband. The quarrel was
soon made up, both parties to 1t promis
ing to reform their conduct. Gertie
next went to Assistant District Attor-
ney Chambers and stated that she de-
sired to drop the case against McGlynn.
She explained the situation and Nc
Glynn was released on his own recogni-
zance. AS soon as he has shown his
good faith by marrying the girl the COM

that seven Armcnians and three Mus

massacred. The people were killed
while in church During and after the
massacre the Armenian quarter of the
city was given over To pillage.
