COURT RULINGS
Decisions Handed Down in
Southern California
Actions.
Ventura and 0jai Valley Rail-
way Loses Through an
Appeal.
st. Joseph's Hospital in San Diego
. to Retain Property Bequeathed
by ] M. Little.

LOS ANGELES, CAL. March 14.-Sev-
eral decisions were received here yester-
day from the Supreme Court deciding
appeals from the Superior Courts OF
Southern California. In the case of Mar
garet ]. Barry, administratrix of the
estate of J. NJ. Little, appellant, against
st. Joseph's Hospital and Sanitarlum of
the Sisters of Mercy ct al, the judgment
of the lower court was affirmed. The suit
was instituted in San Diego to set aside
deeds to three pueblo lots in that city
which Little during his lifetime had exc
cuted in favor of the hospital. The Su-
preme Court holds that the transaction
was a proper one and the consideration
sufficient.
The court reversed the judgment of the
lower court and granted new trial in the
case brought by the Santa Monica Lum-
Der Company against ]. II. Hege, ap-
pellant, and DR.. William Naumann, de-
fendant. This suit was brought to fore
close lien on Santa Monica property for
material. The Superior Court decided
that Naumann was liable and that lien
against the property would be valid if
properly executed.
In the case of r. a. Shoemaker Jr.
against David D. Acker the Supreme
Court affirmed the decision of Superior
Judge Waldo NJ. York here, before whom
the case was tried. The action was a dam
age suit for $35, 600 for breach of written
contract, and the appeal was taken from
the verdict of the jury allowing the de-
fendant $1,000.
The judgment of the lower court in the
suit brought by the Ventura and Ojai VAL
ley Railway Company against F. Hartman
was reversed, and the Supreme Court di-
rected the Superior Judge of Ventura
County to sustain the demurrer to the
complaint. The suit was brought to re-
cover certain assessments on the capital
stock of the company which had been
subscribed by Hartman. The judgment
of the lower court was for the company,
and the Supreme Court reversed this de-
cision on the ground that the company
had no right to levy an assessment, be-
cause one-fourth OF its capital stock had
not been actually subscribed.
The Supreme Court reversed the jEdg
ment of the lower court in the foreclosure
suit brought by the California Savings
Bank of San Diego against w. Parrish
ct al. and ordered the Superior Court to
sustain the demurrer to the cross COM
plant.

SPIRITUALIsM DEFINED.
Elder Il. e. Andross Speaks on the Sec-
ond COMM of Christ.

Elder Il. T.. Andross Speaks on the Sec
ond Coming of Christ.
Elder E. E. Andross OF the Seyenth-dav
Adventist Church spoke last evening at
the hall, 1049 Market street, on the subject
of spiritualism. He said:
"This delusive work of Satan in these
times is plainly foretold in the New Testa-
ment. Many Scriptures show that in the
last days. or just before the second COM
ing of Christ, there Is TO come a time of
especial peril and numerous deceptions in
spiritual and religious matters.
"a spiritualist is one who believes that
departed spirits communicate directly
with men through the agency OF mediums
and by various signs-one who holds In
tercourse with departed spirits.
1--WE believe that spiritualism is the
working of Satan with all power and
signs and lying wonders to deceive. We
are told that evil angels, transformed as
ministers of righteousness, are TO deceive,
if possible, the very elect. The spirit
speaketh expressly that in the latter
times some shall depart from the faith,
giving heed TO seducing spirits and doc
trines of devils. We have not the time to
describe the various modes OF operation
adopted in the manifestations OF the phe-
nomena of spiritualism. The crownlng
work of its deception is the so-called ma
terialization of spirits.
THAT individual who does not believe
that there is power in splrituallsm Is
certainly deceived, and is where he may
be led into it's delusions. The doctrines OF
spritualism are honeycombing our
churches to-day"

His Life Work
Among Drunkards.

S. 81. Hadley, superintendent Of the
jerry McAuley Mission of Water street,
New YORK City, spoke in the Y. NJ. G. A.
Auditorium yesterday afternoon.
Mr.. Hadley, who has himself known
what it was to be down, labors exclu-
sively among the lower classes OF the
metropolis. He entertained and in
structed the audience with an account
OF the methods and results of his mission
work among the drunkards Of New York.
You know as well as do" he said,
that in every city there is great army
OF drunkards. I have travelled with them
for years. know their needs and know
their temptations. Unfortunately they
are just as far out of the pale of the
church as though they were Hottentots,
but they do come to the mission. 1t is
true they are sometimes badly damaged
when we get them, but they make grand
Christians when they are saved"
Mr.. Hadley spoke of the unemployed in
this City and he said he was going down
to see them because he knew that kind of
people. He said the strong must help the
weak and at his mission in New York he
had never refused any one anything he
asked for. He declared the Lord never
sent more work to them than they could
do.

The Triumph Of
Life In Death.

Rev. M P. Boynton OF the Baptist
Church preached yesterday morning on
Life and Death" from the text John Xii,
24-25: Verify, verify. say unto you, ex-
cept grain of wheat fall into the ground
and die, it abideth by itself alone; but if it
die it beareth much fruit.' He said:
Philip brought the Greeks to Christ
who had said I'VE would see Jesus" and
the Lord uttered these wonderful words
that proclaim life in death and q gain in
loss. A right understanding of this text
means right conception of life. Christ
would free us from the narrow cell of SELF
consciousness. Jesus idea of life means
other lives springing up, and that life that
refuses to increase soon finds its lot to be
oblivion. Life in Christ means a giving
up of self. The Cuban patriot who was
shot in the early dawn will rise again in
those who take his place in the great
struggle for liberty and instead of the one
there will be the score.
Anything that frees rs from self is a
blessing. Why the gilded hall, the fash
ing lights, the melody of music the thrill
of the drama? Why the running from
house to house, from State to State, from
land to land? It is mans mad effort TO
escape from himself. Christ offers this
escape in himself. He who Is free from
himself in Christ will understand death
and read his life.experiences as an open
book. Such an one will not be contented
with his childhood, but will long for the
years OF maturity and manhood. The
most wonderful story in the world is your
own life. There are no darker plots in

Sin Has the Power
Of Self-Perpetuation.

DR.. Case spoke from Galatians viz:
Whatsoever man soweth, that shall he
also reap" On the subject "Consequen-
ces," he said: 'As we SOW so shall we
reap. This is great and universal law.
Deeds are seeds. So with good deeds as
wen as evil. God harvest is just as sure
as the devils. Gods seed shall come to
Gods harvest. Sin has the awful power
of self-perpetuatio on. A stub of cigar
thrown into the dry grass starts fire that
sweeps down forests and towns with irre-
sistiple mastery. To break one of the
least of Gods laws is to open a channel
for destructive energy to work havoc. The
e1cesses of youth are drafts upon age that
must be met. Character is consolidated
hahit. Evil done is not evil done with.
Coleridge says: Evil habit first tries,
then drags. then drives.' We naturally
dislike restraints; we hate law. We don't
like the commandments. We are apt to
think we have outgrown them. Many
want no God; hope there is none.
But how would they feel on train go
ing at 80 miles an hour and no engineer or
fireman on the enginef Or to be at sea in
storm without compass or pilot2 A
universe without a God-too dreadful to
think about. Every commandment is an
illumination and defense. The fast
young man shuts his eyes to the light and
his ears to the note of warning. He is
going fast from God; where will he pull
up2 Going fast from holiness and purity.
Fast life is artificial life. It is fash of
pleasure and an eternity Of disappoint-
ment. Fast life means wrecked health,
horrors of remorse. black despair. Men
are lost not for doing wrong, but for be-
ing wrong. A crazy man buckled
lightning rod to his back to ward off
lightning. Do not make religion light

THE YOUNG PATRIOTS.

Adding to the Membership Roll Of the
Valentine Holt Society.
The monthly meeting of the Valentine
Holt Society. Children of the American
Revolution, was held last Saturday in the
residence OF Mrs. G. W. Moores, 1712 Web
ster street, when Miss Edna Dutton,
daughter of Samuel Dutton and descend
ant OF John Libbey and John de Mier,
revolutionary soldiers in the New Hamp-
shire and New York lines OF the Conti-
mental army, was elected to membership.
Miss Harriette Wing Moulton read a
very carefully prepared paper on, "What
Connection Had Thomas Jefferson With
the Repeal of the Primogeniture Act?"
The subject of the lesson for the after
noon was, John Adams" The work of
the society for the past year has been the
study of the lives of the Presidents of the
United States, and the willingness of the
young patriots to continue in this line is
shown by the remarkable excellence of
the papers presented.
The president of the society, Mrs. A. s.
Hubbard, gave an interesting account OF
the N ational convention of the Children
of the American Revolution held in the
city OF Washington on Washington s
birthday and it created much enthusiasm
among the members.
At the close of the business meeting
there was presented charming literary

Mrs. Hoffman's
Talk on Temperance

Mrs. Clara Hoffman, National treasurer
OF the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union, delivered an address at the Cal:-
fornia M. E. Church last evening, upon
the purposes and achievements OF tho or
ganization which she represents.
Mrs. Hoffman detailed number OF cir
cumstances which she considered indlca-
tive of the progress which temperance
ideas had made. The influences OF Mrs.
Frances Cleveland. she said, had been
potently exerted in this direction in the
National Capitol during the last four
years, and as an instance she related that
ex-Secretary Carlisle, himself rather
heavy drinker, recently gave an elaborate
banquet, at which no liquors were served.
The progress of temperance sentiments
in the religious and industrial as well as
the social life of the country was dwelt
upon at length.
Mrs. Hoffman also made spirited at
tack upon the tobacco habit, which, she
said, had become the object of agitation
by the Woman's Christian Temperance
Union all over the United States.
Mention was made of the good work
which the union had done in securing
laws for the instruction in the public
schools upon the evil effects of alcoholic
drinks and also the passage of laws in
many States for the protection of minor
girls.
In her closing remarks Mrs. hoffman
called upon her hearers to be examples to
the young ana show by their whole lives
that they were uncompromisingly op-
posed to the liquor and tobacco habits.
