but we ought to have 200 or 300 before we
can do what we want. Each mem Der
contributes % cents per month, which is
placed into a fund, and when we have a
sufficient sum OF money we will loan it
out to worthy Israelites in S. and $40
amounts.
THE borrower need not be a member of
the society. He must give note for the
amount and must get some responsible
person to go security for the payment of
it. Then the borrower pays it back at the
rate of 81 per week without interest. This
will be great help to poor Israelites, and
we expect that the society will receive
many additions as soon as its benevolent
objects shall become more generally
known"

THE SHOOTING.

afternoon by three burglars. Mrs. Vallejo
and children are in the country, and there
is no one in the house during the dayti
The wire door in the rear and the
kitchen door in front of it had both been
forced open by cutting a hole near the
lock, and door in an Clubhouse had been
forced open in the same manner.
Two men who were working in the VI
cinity saw the boys forcing an entrance to
the house and notified Policeman Dodge.
Before Dodge had reached the house the
boys had become alarmed and taken their
departure without carrying away any
burglar.
Dodge made an investigation and was
joined by WinZler. They consulted to-
gether and it was decided that Winzler
should remain at the house till Vallejo,
who is a salesman, returned in the even
ing.
While there Winzler was told by some
other boys that three boys, who were
standing not far away peerine up at the
house, were the burglars. He immedi-
ately decided to capture them, and went
into the house, takinz off his coat, vest
and hemlet and dorning coat, vest and
hat belonging to Vallejo.
The three boys had walked on, and, as
Winzer emerged from the house In
civilian attire, he saw them about couple
of blocks away. He jumped into an ex-
press wagon and followed them.
AS he neared them they turned round,
and, evidently recognizing him, started
to run. Winzler jun ped out OF the wagon
and pursued them. He called upon them

ROTHCHILD TESTIFIES.

The Prosecution Will To-Day Take Up
the Murder Charge Ag ainst Figel.
As far as they could go, the prosecution
in the Theodore A. Figel EN- bezzlemen
examination yesterday submitted their
side of the controversy.
General Barnes, for the defense, adj
hered to his already expressed intention
10 produce no testimony for the defense
any further than that which could be OBJ
tanned upon cross-examination at this
time.
AS a consequence, ex-Judge Murphy,
who conducted the prosecution yesterday
instead OF Attorney Ach, was able 10 pre-
sent some eight embezzlement cases and
two for forgery, all of which now only re-
m ain to be argued alter the charge OF muir
der has been heard.
The testimony in the embezzlement and
forgery cases is depended upon to sup
port the murder charge.
The testimony esterday was given prin.
cipally by Edward S. Rothchild, who has
been on the witne ss-stand before. The
cross-examinationb brought out that he did
not know whether or not Isaac HOFFMAN
had ever given Figel authority to sign the
firms name to drafts or checks.
This shows why it is the defense has
persistently brought up the Alonzo White
m an case OF forgery, tried in NV ork,
and in which Writing Expert Ames, foI
the prosecution, virtually acquitted the
defendant by his testimony. shown to be
entirely at variance with facts.
Expert Ames is to be heard on cross-ex.
animation to-day, and the testim ony
given by him in the Whiteman case will
very likely take up much OF the time.
The prosecution announced at the time
Of adjournment that the murder case
would be taken up to-day.

shots in the air to intimidate them.
This had no effect, SO Winzler lowered

With yell the boy threw PIP his hands
and fell forward on his face.
Another of the trio, when he saw his
companion fall, stopped suddenly. but the
third continued his flight and made his
escape.
The boy who was shot is Thomas Franz
II years of age, who lives with his father,
a gardener. at Sal Valencia street. The
bullet struck him in the right leg, pene-
trating the bone and lodging there. He
was taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where DR.. Thompson attended TO him.
The other boy, whose name is Frank
Walsh, Is years of age, was taken TO the
Seventeenth-street station and later to the
City Prison.
The boy who escaped is the smallest
and youngest of the trio. His name is
Kirby, and he was arrested some months
ago for raising false alarm of fire at one
of the public schools from which lie had
been expelled, for the fun OF seeing the
scholars and teachers running out.
Both Franz and Walsh deny that they
committed the burglary at the Vallejo
residence, and the two men who saw the
two boys breaking into the house failed to
identity them.

CALIFORNIA.

RECEPTION TO REV. DIR. BISBEE.
A pleasant gathering, almost as novel
on the California coast as it was pleas
ant-where our ministers are so few
and scattered.-was enjoyed in Pasa-
dena on the Goth of July. DR.. Bisbee
was visiting the region. and DIR. Conger
improved the fact of his presence by
inviting the neighboring ministers and
their wives to meet DIR. Bisbee as DIR.
Conger's guests. The delightful affair
came off at the "Spalding,' one of the
best of California's hostelries. A de-
lectsble repast was spread, at which
were seated E. L. Conger. DID,. and his
guest, F. A. Bisbee. DID,, Rev. W. M.
Jones, Rev. L. M. Andrews, Geo. HI.
Deere. DID,, and Mrs. Deere, Rev. A.
Rice and Mrs. Rice, and j. W. Hanson,
DID,, and Mrs. Hanson. The absence of
Mesdames Andrews, Conger. Jones and
Bisbee was the only drawback to the
occasion. Interesting conferences we're
enjoyed concerning UNCONVENTIONAL
matters particularly in relation to our
publishing interests and the impending
question of the Meriden substitute for
the Winchester Profession. Papers
were read by Dre. Conger and Hanson,
and Messrs Bisbee, Rice, Jones and
Andrews participated in the discussion.
The occasion was all too brief, but was
enjoyable while it lasted.

"THE FOREMOST BAKING POWDER in ALL THE WORLD. ;
The Spirit of Fun.

If our boys and girls know but little
else, we are certain they will assure US
promptly that they understand the
spirit of fun. 1t is born in them, they
believe. and they have it in common
with other young animals; for is not
every living creature playful after a
fashion of its own?
But how is it that the mere beasts are
usually so gentle in their play? A horse
will do his best to avoid stepping on you
even in fun. A dog will not bite you
in fun, although he will worry rag or a
stick that you hold out to him and will
chew it to bits, unless you draw it away
to offer your defenceless hand, which he
will caress as tenderly as if his strong.
sharp teeth had suddenly lost their
power to hurt. WEI knew a parrot
who was remarkably fond Of play. She
would waddle after bit of string, laugh
and chuckle when she captured it, and
then jerk her pretty head this way and
that to seize her mistress's finger in her
bill, simply to hold it with affectionate
gentleness while coaxing for her head to
be rubbed. The owner of the parrot
managed never by any chance to startle
or annoy her, and never by any chance
was she bitten by the bird.
If our young people will try to be as
thoughtful of their animal friends as the
animals are of their human playmates it
will be only fair, will it notP We have
seen a pet animal forgive a great deal
that he seemed to understand was done
to him in fun; but don't imagine that
rough play is really amusing. boys and
girls. II you do, you haven't yet caught
the spirit of fun, no matter how much
your game may divert you. Real fun is
enjoyed as much by one playfeIlow as by

OUR IOWA CHURCHES.

VACATION SEASON.

The vacation season is at hand and
some of our Iowa churches are observ
ing it in one way or another to the de-
light of the favored pastors. Some Of
the churches have relinquished services
altogether for two full months. This is
risky and can be attempted only by the
stronger churches. A months vacation.
or at least two weeks, is better than so
long break. Some object to vacations
at all, and there are cases where a break
of even one service would be detriment-
al; but ordinarially a reasonable time
during the heated term given over to rest
and recuperation is beneficial to the
church. The workers all return with
freshened energies and sharDened appe.
titles for the performances OF duty and
the relish of gospel food.
The vacation should be timed so that
its close is we'll within the working sea-
son of autumn. A vacation of two weeks
should be the latter part of August ia

tiles will be at an advantageous time

hot season loses its benefits by bringing
