ate from individualism. BY the ballot
you elect a handful Of men to pass laws
for the government of the masses Four
hundred and fifty legislators make laws
for 70,000,000 of people, One congress-
man represents 10000 people. fifty con-
gressmen control the other 400, therefore
fifty men enact laws for the whole coun-
try. What per cent of these fifty are so
patriotic, SO loyal to God and country that
they are not governed by selfish mo-
tives. You see where, as a country, we
have drifted. In certain sense we are
only serfs and vassals.
There are many evils that it Is our
duty to antagonize. l will touch upon
only four intemperance, immigration,
political and official corruption, and in
ordinate love Of money. With refer
ence to intemperance l will say that it
cannot be absolutely prohibited or con-
trolled without the use of the ballot.
Political leaders have always juggled
with this question. 1 predict that III the
future some one of the great parties
will incorporate a plank in their plat
form which will require the legislature
to pass law that will entitle townships,
counties and states to vote upon the To-
cal control of the question by petition.
with reference to immigration, there
was a time when 1t was safe and proper
to receive all into this country who came
from any part of the world, but our
country has become so foreignized we
hardly know what to do with the for
eign element, which controls the large
cities by their ballot recent law en-
acted by congress requires that those
who come to this country must be able
to read few sentences of our constitu-
tlon either in English or their own Ian
guage. There should have been law
prohibiting immigration entirely.
hoc hnrfn hnnn cd
largely by the money power, which also
controlled labor. If there Is a God in
heaven in due time there must be
change or America will soon cease to
be the land Of liberty and freedom.
Many American citizens have prosti-
tuted the ballot for mercenary and sell
fish purposes, ard they ought to be de-
ported into everlasting exile. There are
those who are too holy to vote. The man
who will not vote at all, is no better than
the man who votes twice.
"If I could do so I would compel the
women to vote. I am not woman suf-
fragist on the low plane that women
ought to vote, because they are as good
as men, but because the interest of my
country demands it. We ought to
feel, as individuals, that not only should
we vote honestly, but that we should
vote whenever the opportunity offers.
You are all aware of the fact that 1t
is the custom Of corporations to issue
stock largely in excess of the capital
actually represented. When you pat
ronize a railway you contribute to those
who hold stock for which they have
never paid a cent.
"To the members Of the Y. M. c. A. I
wish to say believe the spirit of Christ
pervades the membership, and that this
institution Is power to be used of God,

mightiest and grandest condition con-

Seen In New York's Streets

In one Of the uptown photograph shops
there is a picture which usually keeps
a crowd standing in front of it. Even the
theatrical pictures and the other promi
nent people whose faces look out at the
public attract less attention. The most
searching example of the X-ray power
never gathered the people that watch
this simple picture. 1t was taken in the
open air and shows four girls led by
child as the five march from piazza
down the steps of q house. The girls
wear the dresses of bridesmaids. carry
their bouquets, and wear the Gus ustomary
bridesmaids expression of self ace
ment Two Of the girls stand on piazza,
two are on a lower step, and the little
girl has already reached the ground.

Portable looking country house is con-
trast to the usual Broadway picture
strong enough to interest the passerby
more than any other picture that has
been shown there for long time. Some
of the proprietors of the shop windows
charge a regular price to display the
photographs of celebrities. One used to
ask $1.5O per week for putting picture
in a conspicuous place. Real celebrities s
had their pictures put on view without
expense. But aspirants for distinction
of this kind had to pay.-New York Sun.

out and discouraged and were coming
home. Lawrence had used part of his
money to purchase provisions enough
to last couple of days, and they couli
live until he was sent sufficient cash to
pay his railroad fare to Los Angeles. On
Tuesday his brother provided Gilling-
ham sufficient money to come home on,
and he was expected in the city Satur-
day night. The last letter written by
Gillingham was received Friday morn
ing by his fiance, in which he told her
that he was waiting in Garlock for suf-
ficient funds to get home.
When seen at her residence last night
Mrs. Gillingham, the mother, said that
she could give no reason for her sons
failure to come on Saturday night as
had been expected, although she had not
felt worried, thinking some unexpected
delay had suddenly arisen. She could
not believe that either of the bodies
found was that of her son, knowing no
reason why he should have started out
again when he had said he should stay
in Garlock until he heard from home.
His last letter to her had evidently been
written hurriedly and she had been un-
able to tell definitely whether or not
Lawrence had already started for home,
only that he had bought provisions az
Johnny was still with him.
Owing to the lateness of the hour at
which the letter was received, 1t was
impossible to ascertain whether or not
young Lawrence had arrived in the city,
but from the corroborative circum-
stances there seems little doubt but that,
while awaiting the arrival of the money
the boys started out on little trip, ran
out of water and periShed miserably in

been great friends, and he had always
found Wall quiet, sober and well be-
haved. While Wall often drank, he
seldom became intoxicated, and Fuhr-
burg was at loss to account for his
terrible deed.
Dr. Walter Lindley, who performed an
autopsy upon the body, stated that the
bullet had entered the skull at the right
temple and passed directly across,
through the brain, causing instant
death.
o. Z. Knuth, proprietor of the lodging
house in which the tragedy occurred,
told of hearing the shots and going to the
room, finding the woman lying on the
floor, while at her feet, resting partially
across rocking chair, was the body of
the suicide. Wall and the woman had
occupied rooms in his house for about
three months, he knowing them as
husband and wife. A verdict of suicide
was returned by the jury at the close of
evidence.
A telegram has been received from
Wallis mother, at Oxford, Ind, asking
that the body be embalmed and shipped
east for interment, which will be done.
The condition of his victim was yester-
day visibly improved, and She was re-
moved to the county hospital. Should
no complications set in her recovery will
doubtless be rapid, as the wounds are
superficial, the small bullets failing to
penetrate the skull, but flattening
against the bone.

Grace or Hazel Burnett, who roomed
next door to Patria, was first called
She said that the quarrel between Wall
and Patria arose while she was in the
room and was precipitated because Wall
had not returned home in time to take
her out to supper, and as he had all the
money they possessed with him she was
unable to go alone. Wall gave as ar
explanation for his absence that he had
been out with the boys" whereupor
he was told by Patria that he had better
go and stay with them as she would have
nothing more to do with him. The quar-
rel ended in blows, Patria endeavorine
to strike Wall with her curling irons
and throwing bottle OF face bleach over
his clothing.
At this he left the room and went to
his own apartment, returning moment
later and opening fire without word.

the room and saw nothing more until
She was called to attend h.c friend and
saw that she had been shot several

next witness, and said he had known the
deceased for over two years. They had

A REPUTATION ELSEWHERE
". O'Keefe Known In San Francisco As q
Bad Lot

w. O'Keefe, who shot Anderson and
another man in Los Angeles on Tuesday
last, Is known to the San Francisco po-
lice as a rough and confidence man,
says the Examiner. In the time, few
years ago, when Mike Dunn was pro-
prietor of the Grand Opera House bar,
In this city, O'Keefe hung about the
place and was recognized as "capper"
for the games conducted there. The po-
lice finally had printed notices warning
people against visiting the saloon, and
Chief Crowley stationed man near the
door to caution those about to enter.
At the time of the recent Los Angeles
shooting O'Keefe was interested with
"Poker" Davis and big" John King, two
well-known confidence men, who have
been operating in that city for years.
Anderson, who was shot, was partner
OF Con Sullivan, alias c. B. Henderson,
who killed a Chinatown guide in the
Baldwin hotel two years ago. and who

there is an abundance of internal evil
dence to prove just the contrary; the
author is not dragged down by the
weight Of years and experience, per-
haps, but the book contains no indica-

to say, and we shall yet hear it From
internal evidence it is equally certain
that the author is a woman. Not that
the book lacks masculine force and
poise-the strength and humor are tru-
~ virile-but the subtle presence
of a womans mind pervades both style
and thought.
