He spoke before large audience Sun

up large collection for the furtherance
of the cause. In the evening large
mass meeting was held in the opera

PROF. w NJ. FERRIS.
SPEAKS ON SUCCESS. FRIDAY
NIGHT.

Last Lecture of the Course.
The Epworth League closed their
course of lectures on Friday evening,
when Prof. Ferris of the Big Rapids
Industrial School spoke on the subject of
Success. At first glance this looks
like stale and time worn subject, but
in the hands of this master of oratory,
it proved to be the very opposite. His
illustrations were clear, forcible and
original, and his theories and sugges-
tions highly practical. In fact it was a
good common sense discussion of what
should constitute the ideal of every
person, old or young.
He reprimanded severely and effect
lively the young persons who have no
aim in life, who say they can do moth
ing because they were not born i'll more
favorable circumstances Everyone
should use the abilities God has given
them and not complain of their sur.
roundings.
A college education, business career
is within the reach of every young man
or young woman if only they are willing
to get to work. Put your aim towards
a worthy object. Stick to it Mr.
Ferris urged the choice of a profession

The closing point, honesty, was ad'
mirably worked out. He scored severe
ly the banks and bankers who fail fol

urged strict honesty and fidelity tC
obligations as prime requisite of sue

The lecture was enjoyed by all present
and is pronounced almost universally
as the best of the entire course. Should

A burglary was committed by VIII
Hunter, notorious negro. Policeman
William Perdue was detailed on the
case and this afternoon he found Hun
ter and arrested him. Hunter drew a
pistol and fired, striking Perdue in the
jaw, infiicting dangerous wounds. The
negro made a break for liberty, the Off
Ger pursuing and firing as he ran. After
firing three shots the officer fell from
exhaustion, his last shot wounding
Hunter fatally. 1t developed afterward
that one of Perdue's shots killed Myrtle
Boland, a fiVe-year-old girl, who was
playing in an alley two blocks away.
When the police finally took Hunter
in charge a mob of negroes followed,
threatening to rescue the wounded pris-
oner. A number of white men soon
appeared and a general free fight en-
sued between negroes and whites, in
which fully a dozen persons We're more

SAN FRANCISCO, March 14.-Walter
Mansfield broke the worlds record at
the San Francisco Fly Casting Club
tournament this morning when he
dropped his fly in the water of Stow
Lake 1882 feet from the wharf where
he stood. His rod weighed nine ounces
and was ten feet long. When the mar
ker announced that Mansfield had
passed the los foot mark, the worlds
record until then having been 1922 feet,
there was a wild yell and a rush for the
champion. He was seized, thrown up
onto the shoulders of as many as could
get hold of him and amid cheers and
congratulations was carried up and
down the banks of the lake for several
minutes.
Mansfield was also the victor in the
contest for distance and accuracy. He
earned a percentage of 941a in this trial
and was closely followed by A. f. Lovatt
and j. p. BabcOck, who were awarded
second and third places, respectively.
In the third contest for distance and
delicacy, G. ,G. Young carried off the

morning from a Deputy Sheriff at the

We're en- route from Los Angeles to San
quentin in charge of Deputy Sheriff
Cakes. They arrived on the 1:45 o'clock
boat and as the three were coming off
the boat, Henning's fellow prisoner
slipped his hand out of the cuffs and
started to run. Henning followed,
shouting "There he goes" and pointing
TO his fleeing companion who had start
ed down East street toward Mission.
Henning ran just enough to get away
from the deputy and by pointing to his
comrade directed all attention from him
self. He quickly disappeared in the
crowd with the handouts still on one
hand. which he kept in his pocket.
In the meantime there was a great hue
and cry and a big crowd commenced to
chase the other prisoner. He ran down
East street to Mission. At this corner
Harry Berg, night Waterman at Pacific
street wharf. was standing. Hearing the
cries and seeing a man running, he
caught the fugitive by the throat and
pinned him to the wall until the Deputy
Sheriff came up.
BY this time all trace of Henning was
lost, but as he is we'll known to the po-
lice here. it is expected he will be found
around some of his old haunts. Both
convicts are under five years sentences
for counterfeiting.

A LIVELY SQUABBLE.
1t rlay Indefinitely Postpone the In
door Bicycle Tournament.


SAN FRANCISCO, March 1.-THE
squabble between the San Francisco
Amusement Company and the man
agement of the Velodrome over the
proposed indoor cycle tournament has
assumed such proportions that there IS
a probability of an indefinite post
ponement of the affair.
Tomorrow the Velodrome Company
will institute three suits. The first will
be for an injunction against r. NJ.
WEIGH of the League of American
Wheelmen, to enjoin him from issuing
to the San Francisco Amusement AS
ISOLATION sanction to hold an indoor
cycle meet. The second suit will be to
enjoin the Mechanics Institute from
leasing the Pavilion to the San Fran
cisco Amusement Company. The third
suit will be directed against ]. d. Gibbs
and j. j. Groom, personally. 1t will
be alleged by the plaintiff that they
have been guilty of fraud, as, in secur-
ing the lease of the Pavilion and the
League of American Wheelmen sane
ton they were acting as agents or
trustees for the plaintiff. The court
will be asked to appoint a receiver to
take charge of the business.
The Velodrome people are much in
censed at Gibbs and Groom for their
alleged treachery. and do not intend
they shall profit by it. The company
claims to have expended $40, 900 on its
property, and Gibbs and Groom have
conspired to divert to themselves the
profits and emoluments that should ac-
crue by reason of the enterprise dis

Organ and Dog i'm Sympathy.

There is an old adage that music
hath charms to soothe the savage
breast" but this is not always the case.
At the corner of Beacon and Mount
Vernon streets, in Boston, may be
found almost every evening just at
dusk an old lady bundled up in shawls
and wraps turning the crank of lit
tie paper hand organ. The sounds is
suing from the instrument cannot be
termed sweet, and to a representative
ear they are painful.
The other evening as the clever OBJ
server of the Boston Post was pass
ing the musician, Gordon setter came
running along. He had evidently lost
his master, for there was an anxious
expression on his handsome face When
in front of the organ grinder he stop
ped. The absence of his owner was
trying enough, but that music was the
last straw. Throwing back his head he
gave a howl that sounded like the wall
of a lost soul. Not once. but time and
again, the animal poured forth his sor-
row. Had the observer been a theos-
ophist in belief, he would have declared
that the dog contained the spirit of a
musical critic. Yet the old lady was OBJ
livious to it all, and the organ still
played on.
