Reeves is as real flesh and blood as any orna- ment of the tripod, subject to all the ills and d;sappointments as any bondholding member of the guild. He is state senator besides, man of quiet digsity and never wrote a line of those bright articles that il- luminate the columns of the Com mercial Appeal. He is as far from writing such squibs as he is incapa- ble of doing it. He would if he could.

morning an attempt was made to hold
up the incoming stage running be-
tween Redding and Alturas.

passing through his cheek, carrying
away several teeth and a portion of the
roof of his mouth.
A hand-to-hand conflict ensued, the
driver using his heavy whip. while the
robber shot three times more at the
Fdriver. A second bullet grazed Con-
nery's face, and third powder burned
his neck. The fourth bullet went wild.
Connery succeeded in forcing the rob-
Der to the ground and the stage horses
dashed away, carrying the plucky
driver out Of danger.
The driver had a very narrow es
cape from instant death, and is still in
precarious condition The Sheriff Is

to Build the Orphans Home.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1O.-At the
opening of the Masonic Festival last
night, in his address Of welcome,
Charles L. Patton, Chairman of the

Sisters and Brethren, Ladies ana
! Gentlemen: Amid the smoke and din
| of war; while the victorious fleet OF
Admiral Dewey is sweeping the South
Pacific Ocean; while SIMPSONS squad
ron is steaming out, bent on exter-
minating the enemy, the Masons OF
California come before you in the name
| of Charity, and ask you to help build
the Widows and Orphans Home. Let
the war cloud be ever so dark; let the
noise of the battle be ever so great, yet
must be heard the plaintive cry of the
helpless child the sad wall of the be-
reaved widow.
1.-The Masons, not now actively en-
listed in the service of our country. are
ready and willing to fight for the great
principles at stake at the call OF our
noble brother, William Mckinley, lit
successor to our immortal brother.
George Washington, who, as President
of the United States, is vested by the
Constitution in this time of war with
as much real power as any prince OF
lpotentate on this earth.
ITO protect them, our widows and
orphans; the widows and orphans Of
! those of us who may fall on the field
! of glory, fighting the battle of our coun-
| try. we must build the home. There
will the widow find shelter from all
want and misery; there will the orphan
receive support and education and be
prepared to meet the stern realities ot
| life. and there will the aged Mason
find rest from the Overpowering bur
dens cast upon him.
! For this great cause We need your
! help Our friends have been so gener-
Gus in donations that every dollar spent
here will go directly to build this home.
Friends, in the sweet name of Char
| ity, we bid you welcome"
