A TURNING POINT IN HISTORY.
The Gear of Russia Wants a Utopia of
Peace and Issues a Manifesto to
the Powers Asking for a
Conference to get
Their Views.

The Car of Russia has gone into
the white dove" business on a large
scale, and has caused a manifesto
issued and addressed to all powers,
asking a disarmament of all sol
diers, and let universal peace reign
supreme.
1t is large standing armies that
make peace, the same as a well
policed city keeps down thuggery
and lawlesness, pillage and plunder,
and we do not favor the Cars plan
or method of bringing about a good
fellowship and reciprocal good feel
ing among nations, Spain has rob.
bed its people in the West Indies
and other islands without mercy
and shot and comfscated property
of its subjects, without mercy,
Should the Cars plan be IN voEue.
this Wholesale robbery and butch
cry, plumber and fire would spread
and there would not be a hand to
check it. A large army is the best
promoter Of peace we have and any
other arrangement will not mold
good.

H. C. Dickey, the Government De-
teetive Makes the Arrest.

A few days ago, H. G, Dickey, of
the United States secret service,
arrived here from Little Rock, and
made himself acquainted with the
express official here, telling him
that a box had been shipped here
from Fair Oaks and he had reasons
to believe that it contained counter
felt money, and he wanted the
privilege of hanging around the
office until some one called for the
same,
On Sunday incoming, the box was
called for by an old gentleman,
whom the detective put under ar
rest. The box was then opened
and in it was found Sc, 43O in
counterfeit bills
The old man claimed that his
name was not CoYin, the one
who had shipped the box from
Fair Oaks, but that his name was
J. H. McWhorter
Mr. Dicker then securing the
service OF ex-Marshal Crenshaw,
went in search of Gown, and soon
located him in the Cotton Belt
yards. He in turn denied being
Gown, said his name was Caperton,
They were carried before commits
sioner Somerville and bound over
to the U, s. grand jury.
The men will be carried to Fort
Smith and placed in. the U. S. Jail
there until the fall term of the u,
S. court at this place.
They did not get to shave any
of their bills here, being nlpped
before they had chance, but they
have done business elsewhere IN
the state and the detective has
been on their track for some time.
We must compliment detective
Dickey in bagging his game after a
long chase.

 Legatee.

 Church.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LOS ANGELES, March 21. - The property of Stephen Silvaney, az Ital- ian miser. who died on January 10, is in the courts under contest as to who was in reality the dead mans legatee. Silvaney was for years a local charac- ter and a miser. A long time ago he made a will leaving all he possessed to Bishop Mora in trust, the proceeds ana income to be devoted to the establish ment and maintenance of a Catholic orphanage A few days before his death, while lying ill at the home or tenant. he was removed at the instance of Francisco Quijada to the latter home. There Silvaney died.
 Later Quijada applied for the pro batting of an instrument purporting to be Silvaney's will. By this document SiIvaney appeared to leave the prop erty to Quijada, except one house and lot which were devised to QulJada s minor son. The alleged will was signed by a mark purported to have been made by Silvaney, and was witnessed bv Ouiiada and l.. C. Flores, who was named in the instrument as eXecutor.
 The present contest is to prove the Ouiiada will a fraudulent instrument Zach Montgomery, ex-Assistant Attor- nev- General of the United States, IS coI1nseI for the Catholic church. He is a. brother of Bishop George Montgom-

BOND PROPOSITION TO BE SUBMITTED Public Sentiment Defied by the City Council of Los
 Angeles. Will Gall an Election to Decide as to the Building of New Fire
 Houses.
snecial pigpatch to The Call.

special Dispatch to The Call
 LOS ANGELES, March 21.-At the ses- sion of the City Council to-day there was introduced an ordinance of intention to call an election to vote bonds in the sum of $50 600 for the purpose Of building new fire engine houses and equipping them. There will really be no necessity for fire engine houses when the city owns it's own water plant and operates 1t with proper pressure for fire purposes. But there is a clique here that seems to be extraordinarily interested in forcing the passage of these fire bonds. Members Of the clique have real estate locations which they expect to sell to the city as sites for the fire houses. Contractors also desire the bonds to pass, as there will be considerable construction work to be done.
 The real sentiment of the people is against this bond issue and it has all ready been beaten once, having been sub mitted within the past six months. New ertheless the city is to be put to the ex- pense of holding another election. An en- deavor is being made to add a rider to the ordinance which will make a $l0,00O bond issue for the construction of an- other bridge across Los Angeles River to Boyle Heights.
 Just at present the feeling is most pro- nOunced that no more bonds should be issued until the city has been restored to the possession of it's water pIant The voting bonds has been dearly bought. As a result of the last few bond elections for specific purposes there have been nu- merous scandals and it has been almost conclusively shown that the money of the people was diverted into improper channels. The City Council. however, seems determined to resubmit the fire bond proposition.

GOVERNOR HASTINGS
 TALKS AT STANFORD.
Tells the Students He Does Not Be- lieve There Will Be War With
 Spain.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, March 21.- Governor Hastings addressed the students in the chapel this afternoon. His talk was bright and interesting. After in- dulging in the customary encomiums on the climate and scenery of California and the ideal location of Stanford he ad- vised the students to consider above all else the problem of getting started in life and fitting themselves into the right niche. He thought California offered ex- ceIlent opportunities for the industrious young and those who were prepared to meet the emergencies which were certain to come up in life.
 Most of the wrecks that are found through life are due,'' he said, ito mis- fits.
 He said that the country need have no anDrehension of war with Spain. If he thought there was danger of it he would not be in California, but at his post in Pennsylvania.
 we are too big and too Christian to go to war" he said.
 He thought that such an affair between two great nations should be settled by other means. If trouble should result between United States and Spain, he be- lieved we would meet the emergencies that would present themselves. The ac- ton of Congress in putting $5OOOO,OO0 into the hands of the President as head or the nation, without any question Of pol1- tics entering into the matter was enough, he asserted, to give him confidence.

THERE is no vitality like that
 of youth It is grand. It Is
 l great, and should be highly prized- But when youth stupidly depletes vital force, what is the result? It IS the same everywhere. In all countries of the world Weakness ensues. First of all there are pains in the back, often accompanied by fear, dread of danger that does not exist and general restless ness. Then sleep that refreshes be- comes impossible. This weakens more and more the constitution till 1t IS in danger of breaking down altogether But sleep must be had. The man grown old before his time seeks a poor and useless stimu1ant He should seek ''Hudyan,' which will renew his youth and his energy. This is only possible by asking the Hudsonian doctors for help. Then the story which the patient tells is always similar to this:

"Hudyan" has thousands of friends in California, and 1t has them in all parts of the world. They write grateful letters to the staff of physicians who lead the world in this special class of diseases. If you have weak kidneys why not try what can be done for you? There is absolutely no charge for medi- cal advice, and, if you will take the trouble to ask, you have circulars and testimonials sent to you free. Then again. if you have a suspicion of blood taint in your system, the '3o-day blood cure" surely clears 1t right out of the system, no matter what the stage may be. Ask for these circulars too. They are free, as "Hudyan" evidence is. But don't delay Get back that light-heart- ed feeling of youth, and get 1t back this week. Be man and feel young again.
