AFTER DEATH.

IL is worry singular how the fact OF n
mans dcath often seems To give people n
truer idea II his character. whether for
good or for evil, than they have ever pos
scsscd while be was living and acting
among men. Death is so genuine n fact
shat it excludes falsehood or bctrays its
emptiness. It is n touchstono that proves
the gold and dishonors the hasar InstaI.
Could the departed, whoever no may ba.
return ia week after His dcccase he
would almost invariably find himself nt n
higher or n lower point than he has for
merly occupied IN the scale OF public ap-
probation. New York Ledger.

CURRENT TOPICS CLUB
A Number of Live Subjects Presented
and Discussed

The Current Topics club, at it's last
meeting, discussed the candidates for
the nayoralty of New York.
Miss Eugenie Hobbs talked of the life
and sudden death of Henry George, and
Mrs. Edward North gave information
about Greater New York. Edward
North gave sketch of Charles A.
Dana's life, and Captain j. S. Osgood
followed with an interesting resume of
Dana's service during the civil war.
The Union Pacific railroad mort
gage, the possible purchase of the road !;
the sealing conference the Cuban pol
icy as outlined by Minister de LONE; the
Pullman will, and the need for covered
patrol wagon in Los Angeles were some
of the subjects talked about during the
evening.
The program concluded with the US
ual test of twenty questions, some of
which We're "Who is the favorite ad-
wiser of William of Germany" "Who
is the president of the insurgent gov
ernment in Cuba?" "Who, according
to the legitimists, should be queen of
England?" What is the population of
Greater New York?'
The evening closed by roll call, each
member giving brief item of interest.
The club will meet hereafter Thursdays

MR.. GooDRICH's EXCUSES
Were Not Received in Good Hunlor by
Judge Smith

Attorney Ben Goodrich dropped into
Judge Smiths court yesterday forenoon
and tried to ascertain the courts exact
reason for some remarks made when
he granted to w. r. Blackburn's attor-
ney, F. G. Finlayson, further time to
prepare his defense last Monday. Mr..
Goodrich represented Blackman at his
preliminary examination on the charge
of embezzement, and Blackman's afti-
davit on his motion for continuance
set forth that Mr.. Goodrich had dropped
out of the case only last Saturday and
had left his other attorney, Mr.. Finlay-
son. in a poor condition to go to trial
on Monday.
The court granted the motion and in
cidentally hauled the absent Mr.. Good
rich over the Goals for waiting till so
late an hour before leaving the case.
st have noticed by the newspapers
that your honor has censured me for
withdrawing from the Blackman case"
said Mr.. Goodrich. "This court knows l
never resort to tricks to secure a con-
tinuance. / told Mr.. Blackman ten
days ago, possibly two weeks. that l
would not conduct his defense unless
we could come to an understanding as
to fees. We could not agree and /
stepped out"
II don't know anything about your ar
rangements with the prisoner" said
Judge Smith, indifferently.
II can't help that" answered Mr..
Goodrich.
"Well l can," retorted the court. you
had no right to wait until almost the
day set for trial before you got out of
the case"
81 think I should not be censured in
my absence. l am entitled to hear
ing before that is done"
BY this time Judge Smith was greatly
annoyed, and turning to Mr.. Goodrich
with a stern glare he concluded the
matter thus:
'I do not propose to allow you to crit
icise this court. 1t was your business
to be here. I want attorneys to under
stand that this dropping out of cases
ut the last minute will not be tolerated
in this court. Mr., Clerk call the cal
endar."
There was nothing left for Mr. Good
rich to do but retire, which he did
quietly.

ANTI-SALOON LEAGUE
Addresses and Reports at An All-Day
Convention Yesterday

Yesterday an all-day convention of
the Anti Saloon League of Southern CAL
ifornia was held in the Y. NJ. c. A. audi
torium. The convention was called by
Rev Clark Crawford, president of the
league, who presided at both morning
and afternoon sessions, and the secre-
tary of the league, Rev. Franklin j.
Culver, acted in that capacity at the
convention.
Delegates were present from all the
city and county leagues. and after scrip
ture exercises, led by ]. w. Webb, grand
worthy chief templar of the Good
Templars, and a prayer by Rev. S. d.
Belt of Santa Monica, the secretary read
the report of the executive committee
for the past eight months.
The report showed that the organi
zation of county leagues of Los Angeles.
San Bernardino, San Diego and River
side counties has been perfected, and
those in Orange and Ventura counties
have been partly organized. Two
thirds of the towns in Southern Cali
fornia have local leagues, and there are
many others in churches and different
affiliated organizations.
State Superintendent Theodore d.
Kanouse of Glendale and Field Secre-
tary DR.. j. H. Harwood of Los Angeles
made specific reports of their work and
stated that deep interest in the move
ment was shown all over Southern Cal
ifornia. The presbytery, the M. E. con-
ference, the Baptist and Congregational
associations of Southern California most
cordially made a place on their pro-
grams for hearing of the work of the
league.
Rev. ]. w. Webb spoke on the Liter
ature Needed for the Work." DR.. H. A.

MOONS INEQUALITIES
Discussed Before Astronomical Sec
ton of Academy of Sciences

The regular monthly meeting of the
J astronomical section of the Southern
California academy of sciences was held
| last evening at the residence of j. D.
| Hooker, 325 West Adams street. The
subject of the evening was the I'm
| equalities of the Moon, Including the
| Anomaly, Repression of Nodes, EVICTION
| Variation, revolution of Line of Apsides
and the Annual Equation" The hal:
hour preceding the lecture was enjoyed
by the members present in viewing the
moon through Mr.. Hooker's telescope.
Mr.. Baumgardt opened his lecture
with a description of the theoretical
orbit of the moon in space, showing tha t
the moon, though commonly supposed
to revolve around the earth, in reality
described an epicycloidal curve in space:
and that as the earth and moon together
revolve around a common center and
the complete earth-moon system re-
wolves again around the sun, the moons
sinuous curve through space is still
more complicated and difficult of alb
solute solution. In fact, there are few
questions in astronomy which are of
such exceeding difficulty as the theo-
retical orbit of our satellite. 1t has been
a problem which has taxed the genius
of Newton La Place, La Grange, Euler
and our own Newcomb to the utmost.
Mr.. Baumgardt then proceeded to
prove by the method of horizontal paral-
lax the moons varying distances from
the earth; its changing apparent diam
eter, and to show that it's surface, vary
ing as the square of the radius is one
. ,;,.I tl,ot % o,,<I,
ume, varying as the cube of the radius
is one forty y-ninth OF the earth, bring
unity.
Did the earth and the moon exist in
space all by themselves, the moon would
forever describe close elliptic shaped
curve, and it would never vary as much
as the tenth part of an inch; but as
every other particle of matter in the
universe attracts every other particle
either large or small, it follows that the
minute we introduce the attractive in
tluence of a third body inequalities or
disturbances in the orbit must follow.
from mechanical necessity. In the
case of the moons orbit all the major
inequalities are due to the disturbing
influences of the sun.
Mr.. Baumgardt divided the moons
inequalities into three classes. The first
is due to the radial component of the
suns attraction; the second is due to
the tangental component, and the third
to the orthogonal component which
works at right angles to the plane of the
orbit. The details of these inequalities
formed the principal consideration Of
the evening.
In closing. Mr.. Baumgardt spoke of
the wonderful analytical and observa-
tional faculties of the ancient Grecians,
who, without knowing the cause, and
with most rude instruments for obser-
walton, with no modern calculus nor
trigonometry, discovered several of
these difficult inequalities, as. for in
stance, Ptolemy's discovery of the evec-
tinn.
