A GOOD SERMON.

After a prelude on How to Pre- pare for Christmas in which young men were urged especially to remem- Der the "old folks at home," Rev. Dr. Halsey of the Baptist church gave the fifth of series of sermons on Death and Life," Sunday, refer ring especially to the influence of heredity from the text found in Daniel 4:S1, '@The Kingdom is Departed From Thee" "The first man lost his home, lost his physical perfection, lost the society of the holy, lost hope. He turned away from his best friend; he separated himself from the restraining influences of a holy home" The re-
 ining, ennobling influences of home were dwelt upon by the speaker. 1.-The sin of any man necessarily affects his descendants. There is wonderful and fearful meaning in those suggestive words, 1uhe solidarity of the race. Man might have bequeathed an un- tainted nature and a holy. example to his children; instead of so doing he be- uueathed to them mature corrupted by the poison of sin, and set before them an example of disobedience. We say: Tt is hard that children should OA their parents It is hard, but 1t is true, that they do so suffer, and this
 fact should compel parents to live
 pure, noble, holy lives. A little lad 1 was accused of theft. A neighbor
 said: I knew he would be thief, fo1 | his father was a drunkard.' Harsh
 and devilish judgment! Yet how often
 is such judgment rendered by those | 4@ Aoo n,; ~J | the bible and of all law that the sir | of the first man must have corrupted f and poisoned human nature, and tha | the sins of parents are visited upOI l their children" In closing the speak

STATE TEXT BoKS
Good or Bad the State Shop Must
Print Them


SACRAMENTO, July 21.-State Print
err A. j. Johnston is in receipt of an opin-
ion from Attorney General Fitzgerald,
in which the latter holds that is the duty
of the state printer, Notwithstanding
the request of the state board of educa-
ton to the contrary, to print enough his
tories of the state series of text books
to fill the orders which will be sent to
him within the next four months. The
state printer has on hand about 1900 cop
les Of the history and will require al
least 5000 more to fill the orders. The
attorney general quotes sections of the
law in support of his opinlon. The state
board of education, the attorney general
holds, has no power to suspend the use of
the books of the state text book series,
provided for in these acts, other than
by adopting new ones covering the same
subject; and as the state printer states
such new ones cannot go into general
use for at least year after their adopt
ton and the completion of the electro
type plates for their publication; but
pending the adoption of new books it is
compulsory upon the schools to use the
old ones and it is his duty to publish
sufficient number to supply the de-
mand for them.

large Georgia watermelon. Several

twined with white silk ribbon, on one
end of which was the flag of the United

ferred to the old adage about the Greeks
bearing gifts and assured the president

would emerge.

saying, among other things, that he was
especially gratified for the assurance

VANCOUVER, b. c., July 21.-The
Canadian Pacific steamship Empress
of India has just arrived from the Orient,
having made a speedy voyage. She
brings the following advices:
On June 16 fire broke out in the royal
palace at Bangkok, Siam, and for a time
there threatened to be very serious
cophagraton. Fortunately there was
but little wind, and thus the blaze was
confined to the building in which it
started. A quantity of medical stores
and 500 rifles and much ammunition were
destroyed. The latter exploded and sew
eral people were injured. The treasury
building was for some time in danger.
According to the latest native reports

LABOR OBJECTS
Powderly's Confirmation Will Be
Strongly Opposed


NEW YORK, July PA special to
the Herald from Washington says: Ter
ence. V. Powderly will have a rocky road
to travel before he is confirmed by the
Senate as Commissioner General of In
migration to which office he was re-
Gently appointed by President McKin-
ley.
The Knights of Labor and Federation
of Labor have given notice that they
will file a protest against CONN matlon
and will do all in their power to defeat
him. Their objections to Mr.. Powderly
are numerous and definite. 1t is charged
that he was never Republican until
he went into the campaign last fall, but
that when he ran for Mayor of Scranton,
Pa, he was largely identified with the
Democrats. 1t is also charged that he
was an ardent advocate of the free coin
age of silver as long as he was identified
with their organizations, but became an
apostate to the silver cause last fall.
His troubles with the knights of Labor,
which led to his being expelled from the
organization will also be presented.
Inquiry among Senators indicate if
Mr.. Powderly's nomination was brought
to a vote he would be defeated. In def
erence to the President however, it is
not expected that the question will be
brought to vote at this session, but
will be held over until rext December.
Some of the Republicans believe Pow
derly's confirmation would cost the Re-
publican party 10000 votes in Ohio next
fall. The feeling of hostility grows
largely from the fact that while the la
boring men were for Bryan, Mr.. Pow
DERBY went into the Republican service,
receiving therefor, it is charged, SIS

Cooney claims to have executed the ac-

until 1896. Over the strenuous objections
of the defendants counsel witness was

The action of United States Secretary

GOMEZ'S PLANS
NEW YORK, July 21-Tomas Estra-
da Palma, President of the Cuban Jun
ia, has received letter dated July 4th
from General Maxine Gomez, in which
the General says: 1T is advisable to
make this summers campaign as active
and aggressive as possible. To carry
our plans successfully we will need
rather than anything else steady sup
ply of ammunition. For that we de-
pend on the support of patriotic Gu
bans and friends abroad
THE recent landing of several eXped-
tons in different sections of Cuba has
enabled our men to engage the Spanish
troops with satisfactory results. The
remarkably large number of disabled
soldiers entering the Spanish hospitals
in the last two weeks is the most en-
phatc proof of our activity.
II have received a half million rounds
of ammunition from the last expedition
landed in Camaguey. 1t was conveyed
across the Jacura- Moron trocha by Col
onel Dmas Zamora with 800 men. The
passage of the trocha by Colonel Ia
morals force shows that the barrier de-
Tended by $1,000 Spanish soldiers is no
obstacle to our movements. This last
supply of ammunition enabled our
forces under Major General Carrillo to
move westward"
