SOLDIERS HOME, July 13.-The Home
fire department held their usual monthly
meeting in the assembly hall on the even
ing Of the 18th. Now that there is an
abundant supply Of water, the members
feel able to combat any fire that may
arise.
Fred Roth, an old and wellknown citi-
zen of Los Angeles, formerly foreman and
principal cutter at Jacoby Brothers, has at
length become member of the Home, and
the authorities recognizing his qualifica-
tions, will give him facilities to carry on
his occupation as a custom tailor.
The John A. Martin post No. 1873, G. A. R.
at their meeting last night, instructed their
officers to convey the warm thanks of the
comrades of the post to the executive COM
mittee of the Fourth of July celebration
Of Los Angeles. and to members of the
police force for the kindness and courtesies
extended to the comrades of the post on
that occasion.
The members Of the Home are again
wearing joval countenances, the reason
being that we have got through the sparse
time of the ending of the yearly appropria-
lions, when our provender was short, and
are again living on an abundant and gener-
GUS supply.
Deaths at the Home: Andrew B. Carter,
late of Company H, First Missouri volun-
teers, Mexican war veterans, and John
Fahay, late of Company X, Fifty-eighth
Illinois infantry volunteers.

after over a years sojourn in Klondike.
The judge has many interesting anecdotes
to relate in regard to his trip. and had
some very exciting experiences. He was
present at the time of the great glacier
slide at the Stone house. near Sheep Camp
| In the Chilkoot pass, at which time he lost
all his supplies and narrowly escaped
being caught himself in the avalanche
His description of the trip through the
PASS itself causes one to shudder at the
thrilling experiences. The climb near the
| summit is up an almost perpendicular wall,
and every foothold must be tried and trust
ed before venturing an advance. This feat
Ia rendered much more dangerous
owing to the necessary pack carried on
the back.
Another exciting experience en- route was
| in shooting the White Horse rapids. MT
Halls party declined to pay the exorbitant
price demended by the pilots, and ran the
rapids on their own account making a
| mile In two and one-quarter minutes
These rapids resemble somewhat the flow
Ing name of white horse and hence the
| name. 1t was a continual succession of
ups and downs, and what was more dan
gerously exciting, the boat commenced to
| whirl and "then" says the Judge, 1.-THE
party cast longing eyes ashore for the
pilot"

MORE GOOD WORK
hurches of Christ Convention Attracts
Large Audiences

LONG BEACH. July 13.-The audiences
ut the different sessions Of the Churches OF
Christ convention are the largest in its
history, and more interest manifested than
formerly. The Bible studies especially
are largely attended, every seat in the lee
ture room being occupied. The singing
also has been a feature, the lady in charge,
Mrs. Princess Long, late of Pals, Kentucky,
now of Alameda, having the blessed gift
of song in the highest degree, gift which
she uses with consummate grace and tact.
One Of the most interesting events of the
convention was the address by Rev. Ny
Powe Chew, pastor of the Presbyterian
Mission church in Los Angeles, Tuesday
evening. His talk was on Missions in
China" and he gave some interesting fig
ures in illustration Of the difficulties that
have been met and overcome by mission
aries In propagating the gospel in the
fowery kingdom. From 1907 until 1914
there was but one Protestant missionary
and only one convert. From 1874 to 1892
there were two missionaries and two con-
verts, and from that time on the number of
missionaries and converts slowly increased
until now in 1898 there are two thousand
agents of the gospel at work and 75, 900 con-
verts.
The morning Bible studies today were:

ALL CooNS LOOK ALIKE
Senegambian and French, It Is All the
Same

SAN BERNARDINO. July 1s.-One of the
best known characters at the police court
is a colored man named George Smith, or
"Smithy" for short who Is always in
trouble, but whatever he does he calls for a
jury and gets clear. AS he was coming In
from the springs about o'clock in the morn
ing with two female companions, the trio
stopped at chop house for lunch, taking
a side room. Smith stepped into the main
grill room for something and saw at the
table another coon bearing the euphonious
name of "Buachezera," who claims to be
French. As Smith passed him he COM
menced to sing "All Coons Look Alike to

head with it. then going for him with a
caseknife, which cut a cash under his eye,
just missing by hairs breadth the eye

If there was one. Buachezera was ar
rested and fined for not using the knife more
satisfactorily.
The county board of equalization has
found only two cases which they think
should be raised, one being the gas COM
pany, which they changed from $4,000 to
$15, 900, and the electric light company, which
they raised from $4,000 to $2OO0O As the
gas works have just been sold for $4,000 it
was thought the former figures were too
low. teti
The attempts to save the life Of L. j.
Searcey, convicted of murder, by means of
the supreme court proved a failure. Last
night he was brought back from San Quen-
tin and will be resentenced Saturday.
After the close of a case in which the
counsel were R. E. Bledsoe and George B.
Cole, they began to argue their differences
before a number Of their clients and wit
nesses and, warming up to their work, their
turret gnus were soon belching out such hot
shot as liar" "scoundrel," "villain," until
the air was sulphurous. This was too slow
for Bledsoe, for although both are experts
with these guns, the armor was too heavy
and the shot were Intellectual, so he swung
around and delivered a broadside with his
heavy guns, the right landing just under the
port optic. The cannonading was becoming
severe when neutral powers interposed and
patched up truce.
