QUEER AS TRAIL PICTURES
Mrs. Besant Scheduled to Do an
Extraordinary Thing On Her
Arrival Here.
She Will Show Mans Invisible Bodies.
Will Be Given a Reception
and Sp.ak Often.

Mrs. Annie Besant of England, the dis
tinguished theosophical author and
lecturer, will arrive here Saturday, May 8,
and will at once begin series OF lectures
in this City, Oakland. San Jose, Santa
Cruz and Palo Alto. The subjects for the
lectures are unusually interesting.
One thing Mrs. Besant will do that has
never been attempted in this part of the
country hitherto, that is TO give pictures
of the mysterious astral bodies, of which
people long have heard. This will be done,
so it is given out, on the evening OF Nav
13 when the great advocate of theosophy
will speak on the invisible bodies of man.
Unusual preparations are being made
here for Mrs. Besant. A reception is to be
given her, where she will meet leading
theosophists and others who are interested
in the doctrines she teaches. Mrs. Besant
is now on her way West, accompanied by
the Countess Nachmeister. The last heard
from tn, m was few days ago, when they
were at La Junta, Colo. They are pro-
crossing slowly, and speaking in different
places. The programme, as made up for
Mrs. Besant here, is as follows:
Saturday evening, May 8, at o'clock white
Lotus day., anniversary OF the death OF H. P.
Besant by Golden Gate Lodge OF the Theosoph.
ical Society in Beethoven Hall, corner Post
and Powell streets.
Sunday evening, May 8, at Metropolitan
Hall. Subject, "ReincarnaIion and the Eyolu.
tion of the Soul"
Wednesday evening, May H. address before
the members of Golden Gate Lodge In Native
Sous building.

Metropolitan Hall. Subject, MANS Invisible
Bodies" illustrated by sIereopticou views).

Sunday evening, May 16, third lecture at
Metropolitan Hall. Subject, Thoughts and
Their Power"
Thursday, May 20. Sacramento. San Jose

A Pastor Who Believes That
Sunday Was Made Tor Man,
Not Man tor Sunday.
FREELY SPEAKS HIS MIND ON
ORTHODOXY.
Services Will Be Held in Some
Pretty Spot AMI Basket Lunch
Will Be Held.

Rev. DR.. Frank S. Ford OF the First
nal He proposes to hold Sunday pic
mic soon. Not the regulation picnic"
he says, "for we will hold our regular SER
vices, have a sermon and all the rest of it,
you know. Why shouldn't they be held
in the open air? Every one concerned
would enjoy them more, am sure. be-
lieve Sundsy was made for man, not man
for Sunday.
''Of course we will have a Iunch,'' he
continued, land perhaps dinner, too. In
fact, it Will be an old-fashioned basket
party"
Mr.. Ford does not expect great deal OF
opposition and adverse criticism on the
proposition; he really doesn't care q
snap of his finger for all the criticism in
the world.
My congregation stands by me, and
that is all ask for" he says. ''Other de-
nominations say we are not orthodox,
but-well, you'll see 1t won't be long
before they will think our way. l believe
that Christianity is for this life as we'll as
for the next. 1t makes life all the more
worth living, and aver that if you live
llliS llLt " Gil you Cau leI Tue lc&l Ou6 tdke
care of itself. We are not good in this
life merely for the fear of the punishment
that awaits US in the next if we do wrong
here"
The exac: time and place of the picnic
has not yet been dec ded upon, but 1t will
take place this spring some time, either at
Golden Gate Park or some pretty spot
across the bay.
Mr.. Ford's latest departure will GER
tainly bring down all sortsrof unkind re-
marks on the proposition, but the pastor
intenos to go ahead with his preparations
and not let the remarks bother him.
Mr.. Ford will be remem bsred as the
gentleman who declared he would preach
in knickerbookers some bright day. but as
yet he has not done so, although he ap-
pears ia fu. dres. ali the time. HIS church
is packed to the doors as general rule
and among his congregation he Is most
popular, SO that he expects his people will
agree with him on the subject OF Sunday
picnics or basket parties"
His new pan, however, will hardly
| meet with the approval of the other pas
tors, for they for long time have been
declaring that Sunday picnics are species
of Sabbath desecration, and as such,
shou d be condemned bv the church. Mr.
Ford intends to inject the Sunday service
into his picnic ana this may relieve 1t
somewhat in denominational circles, al
though with some minister's this NAV
only add to his iniquity. Mr.. Ford, how
ever, thinks 1t a good thing, and he boldly
says as much, and goes Oh planning for
his Sunday picnics.

up 10 him and offered to take him home
They led him down to the water front
and he says the colored man struck him
in the face with botn fists knocking him
down. He jumped TO his feet and fought
the three of them till he was knocked

UNFOLDING THE LAW.
millionaire w. 3. Bradbury Convicted
of Expo ctorating in a Cable

W. B. Bradbury, the millionaire, was
convicted in Judge Lows court yesterday
of violating the ordinance prohibiting ex-
pectorating in streetcars, and the Judge
ordered him to pay a fine of $5, with the
alternative of twenty-four hours in the
County Jail. At the request OF Attorney
OBrien, who represented the defendant,
the Judge decided not to record the sem
tence till to-day as the defendant intended
to appeal to the Superior Court so as to test
the constitutionality of the ordinance.
II. J. Huth, the conductor OF the car in
which the defendant eXpectorated, testi.
fed that when he demonstrated With the
defendant anu advised him of the ordi-
nance be expressed his contempt for the
law and persisted in expectorating.
Mrs. P. c. jenkins, 2102 Mason street,
who was passenger on the car, corrob-
grated the testimony of the conductor.
The defendant ad mltted cxpectorating
on the floor of the car. He was unaware
st the time that such an ordinance was in
existence and denied the legality of his
arrest.
The udge said that the ordinance had
been pubis ed in the newspapers by the
Chief of Police and it had been given ali
the publicity possible. He had, therefore,
no other recourse but to find the defend
ant guilty.

GOVERNOR BUOD
HAS HIS SAY

Will Consider the Case When

Before Him.
Attorney D.uprey Processes Ignorance
as to the Attitude of Prison
Directors.
idle and worthless speculation"

idle and worthless speculation"
That is Governor Budd's sententious
comment upon the talk in regard to his
attitude in the Durrant case. He was
evidently not very we'll pleased at such
comment either. The statement was made
yesterday morning at the Palace Hotel
and the Governor continued in the follow
ing strain:
1.-THE story in reference to the commu.
tation of Durrant's sentence has not been
seen by me, and l know nothing about
the statements it contains. as none of
them had been brought to my attention
previously.
There is one thing I can tell you that
can be depended upon, and that is, any
surmise as to how shall act in this mat
ter is useless labor. l have given the mat.
ter absolutely no official consideration up
to this time, and have not the least inten-
tion OF doing so until it shall have been
brought before me.
when such time arrives ! shall spare
no pains to investigate il from beginning
to end. and then Will be the proper time
to discuss any views l may hold. Com
ment at this time upon my attitude. or
what attitude l may assume in the future,
is manifestly absurd.
Moreover, shall have nothing more
to say in regard to this matter until it
has been presented to me formally and
have given it due investigation"
Attorney Deuprey stated yesterday,
also, that he had no previous knowledge g
as to the stand for communication taken by
certain of the Prison Directors until he
saw it In the newspapers. He knew no,h-
ing of n petition for commutation, and
intended TO keep at work on the Supreme
Court eEd of the case until he became con-
vinced such course was homeless, and
then will appeal to the Federal courts on
constitutional grounds.
Durrant's iatner was not at home again
last evening, but Mrs. Durrant sard that
she expected his arrival at any minute.
The nature OF the business that causes his
ontinued absence was not divulged.
One of counsel for defensa was present
in consultation wi Mrs. Durrant part
of the evening. He did not care to talk
much, but stated that one strong card yet
remains to be played in the famous case.
He would not say what it was, but insinu-
ated that it would be in the nature OF a
surprise.
