his missing arm. George Beebee, from the
Fourth ward, will contest the nomination
OF Martindale, but the cry of Vet against
vet!' has gone up, and the man from the
Third looked like winner last night.
Only a Few Want It
For the nomination for city auditor, the
Fourth ward has two candidates, Ed Car
son and Colonel w. ]. Schneider; the Fifth
ward has two candidates, Ed Wood and l..
Merrill; the Third ward presents Colonel
L. G. Hine; the Ninth ward wants Fred
Desserey, and the Eighth ward offers Billy
Shearer.
The fight seems to lay between Carson
and Schneider. The latter returns from
the wars" with the halo of soldiers glory
about him, but Carson didn't seem to mind
that yesterday and said he was certain Of
nomination. All the others are just as GER
tain of success, however, and the hght
promises to be a merry one.
The City Attorney
The scramble for nomination for city at
torney presents, in locality from which the
candidates hail, what Jack Potts would
call a straight. George M. Holton. now
deputy district attorney. comes from the
Third ward; Judge Gottschalk from the
Fourth; Frank Thomas from the Fifth and
Walter Haas from the Sixth ward.
1t is said that Holton was promised the
nomination for city attorney by Rives'
friends II he would pull out Of the fight for
district attorney before the county conven-
ton, and he now demands that the promise
be kept Frank Thomas seemed last night
to be the favorite. however. and unques-
tionably has strong following among the

lively used against him. AS q delegate
said last night: 1T the Fourth ward is
given all 1t asks the city government might
as well be located in that bailiwick."
City Engineer
The Fourth ward hobs UP serenely with
two candidates for city engineer, E. Ohm
stead and H. ]. Stocker, while the First
ward will present Harry Stafford. The
fight seems to be between Olmstead and
Stafford, but Stocker is not to be over
looked. He has the "hoodoo" of the Fourth
ward on him, but at the same time has
fair share of that delegation, II reports can
be credited.
City Assessor
Sherman Smith from the First ward.
Ward from the Fifth ward and Cyrus Will
lard. also from the Fourth ward, all want
to be city assessor and all claim to have
the backing Of the majority of the dele
gates. Smith seems to be favorite with
those who ought to know" but he hasn't
the nomination wrapped up in bundle.
Tax Collector
The modest Fourth ward only offers two
candidates for city tax collector, John
Steadman and Mr.. Johnson. Billy White
from the Seventh ward and L. c. Doane
from the Sixth ward are likewise hunting
the nomination. White was favorite last
night, but the boys who are pushing and
pulling the convention furniture admit that
1t is an open fight and that Steadman, even

Symbolism in Theosophv

Miss M. Walsh Of San Francisco gave q
lecture last night at the Theosophical head
quarters on Philosophical Symbolism"
She said: Symbols are used to convey to
the mind certain ideas; they speak to the
mind in universal language. Nearly all
fraternal societies use symbols to express
the object and principle upon which they
are founded. Thus we have in the Thee
sophical society symbols expressing its OBJ
ject and principle. % The cross, the inter
laced triangle and the circle, symbolic to-
gether the completely CT Nature In It's
unity. Separately the cross IS the most am
Gent Of all symbols, and expresses the
Nduality OF ma ture. 1t Is the dot within the
circle, transformed into a diameter, and
represents the divine Mother Nature with
I'm the all. embracing, absolute. infiMtude
When the horizontal diameter is crossed by
la vertical one it bcomes the cross, the sign
Of the origin of human life. When the cir
conference disappears and leaves only the
cross 1t represents material man completed
The nterlaced triangle or s.x-pointed star
represents, among other things, six great
forces in nature, viz: heat, light. cleo
tricity, terrestrial magnetism, sound and
thought. The circle in the form Of a snake
biting its tail to complete the circle, Is pic
ture Of time closing upon itself, or the uni
versal energy returning to it's source. The
serpent Is symbol Of time, energy and eter-
nifty IN the all-at-once of thipgs. All en-
|ergies or forces in nature have a serpentine
or a spiral motion. I'D '-''- So
The lotus flower Is symbol Of the spirit
uality In man. It sprouts in the mud and
slime, but finally unfolds its flower in the
pure atmosphere. But the most beautiful
symbol Of all Is, the winged globe. The
globe represents the perfected soul, the
wings, swiftness Of thought upon which it
wings its way back to the divine source
from whence it 'sprang. '-~-

speaker. ito punish their fellow-men, or to
have them punished. with unremitting tor
ture by the almightiness of divine wrath
is one of the most significant phases of the
human mind. That intelligent, educated.
cultured men should continue to perpetuate
such ideas is even more singular. Were
intelligent men to rewrite their creeds, be-
ing strictly governed by the knowledge and
religious genius Of the best men and. wo-
men Of our day, there would be more intel
ligence and humanity in the creeds. There
would be more of a rational God and d.
vine humanity; more Of sound ethics; infin-
itely more Of human rights, and much less
of the superstitions and traditions which
had their origin and sanction in nothing
higher than oriental despotism.
THE joy Of preaching the hopes of saliva
ton to men has taken second place to
the rapture of painting the fires of hell,
the tortures suffered by the tormented, the
wrath of God, an omnipotent, who never
forgot to perpetuate his vengeance against
his victims Perpetuation of power in the
church has been as much a feature of &C.
clesiastical history as in the history of
political organizations
ION this subject Of divine rewards and
punishments we must use our intelligence
and reason as on other subjects God has
given to sane minds but one method by
which they can gain knowledge, and that
is through the operation of reason. There
is no one religious faith that has ever been
known that is unique. exclusive and un-
related. The Christian versions of heaven
and hell are but current views Of the orien-
tai regions concerning the fate in the un-
der-world Of those who had been deemed
bad or good in this world. But whatever
may have been the source and develop
rnent of the ideas and associations that
form the basis Of the popular theology con-
corning the divine rewards and punish
ments. these are sufficiently Objectionable
and impossible to warrant any belief.

David Walk, in the Church Of Christ on
Eighth street near Central avenue, read
Matthew xvi:26. and
r.. announced as the
1oAAs aAao AoSs subject of his SER
mon, profit and
LOSS" There are two pre-eninently great
questions in the Bible with which we are
directly and personally concerned. The
first is that Of the text and is propounded
by our Lord himself: For what shall
man be profted II he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?" or, as the
revised version has 1t, "forfeit his Life
The thought is practically the same. The
other question to which I refer is that
raised by every truly awakened soul:
What nnst do to be saved?" 1t Isl note
worthy that the term employed by Jesus
is kosmos, and in its primary meaning
comprehends the entire physical universe
1t is the same word used by Paul before
the Athenian philosophers as he stood in
the midst of the Areopagus: God that
made the world and all things therein"
The question Of Jesus is: what shall a
man be profited though he should gain
wealth, honors and power so vast and yet
lose his soul?" Is this a painted devil with
which to frighten children? or does the
thought involve the gravest concern Of
every soul? 1t Is the one thing or the
other. We most unhesitatingly accept the
latter alternative. The Christ of the New
Testament is incapable of jugglery. He Is
the incarnation of truth. No mortal has
detected a flaw in His teachings or NOR
ality. There is no intention of undervalu-
ing His physical creations, but the pur-
pose is to emphasize the pricelessness of
the immortal soul. What shall al man be
profited though he should gain the whole
of the one and vet lose the other? 1t would
appear, then. that man may lose his soul,
and that lost it Is irrecoverable. -
This is plainly the teaching of Him who
made both the kosmos and the psyche, and
this latter is the term with which He re-
ferred to Himself: my soul is exceeding
sorrowful, even unto DEATH" 1t Is because
of the value OF the soul and the danger to
which 1t Is exposed that Jesus Christ
undertook His mission. He came to seek
and to save the lost. No other concept
Of what we believe to be His sacri1cial
atonement is comprehensive. The wealth
of the multi-millionaires is as the dust
Of the balance In comparison with the
treasures Of the universe, and yet Jesus
unhesitatingly places the value Of the soul
above that of the whole world.
The commercial illustration Is necessary
to rightly enforce the spiritual truth. Each
man carries within himself that which In
the estimation Of the Divine mind far out
weighs the value Of the whole world. What
will he do with 1t? This Is the question.
He Is fres to make his choice. The text
is a solemn admonition. Should every
taste be gratifed, luxury be enjoyed, am
bition be realized, what would 1t all be
worth should the life be forfeited? And
neglect of the great salvation involves such
forfeiture.

Rev. A. A. Rice, at the Un.versalist
|church, gave tn thierd Of his series on the
new salvation, his
Organic Unity subject naI , being =, the lhe
Human Race" from
Luke xv:10. There Is Joy in the presence Of
the angels of God over one sinner that re-
penteth.
Our Lords statement, which Is reiterated
in three connected parallels, that there is
10y among the angels over one repentant
sinner IS but one way Of saying that the
angels are sorrowful because Of the many
who are unrepentant; that there is a dis
tress, an unrest, lack Of peace, an incom-
bletiun among Gods angels on account Of
hayward men. In fact, that the borders Of
heaven are co-equaI with those of hell, SO
that the circumference Of the one orcum-
scribe the other. Followed further in its
unmstakable meaning, our text indicates
that there are natural, unbreakable ties
that bind man to man, and thus it declares
for the "Organ.c Unity Of the Human
Race AS, by the study of mans nature
especially revealed by right conception Of
sin, these ties and their organic race unity
become apparent, we arrive at "a new sal
VdtlOu, LI0 udtuIo anu CAtcuI VI WHlCH Qll-
fer UNNECESSARILY from that Of the old.
From an inadequate observation Of human
nature, which, had 1t been adequate,
would have disclosed the indlssoluble race
bands, the theology Of the past placed the
sinner and the saint on lines which con-
stantly diverge and lead to endless separa-
ton, while the new salvation, though 1T
recognizes good and bad men starting apart,
draws them over converging paths to a
common end. Formerly salvation was to-
ward the individual, today it is toward the
race
Character IS the one word which gives
most clearly the general Christian concep-
ton Of salvation in the present age. When
Goethe remarked that "Talent develops It.
self in soitudes; character in the stream
Of life," he must have been conscious of
those relations which demand the inter-
course of men. Character 10 formed only
by contact Of man with man, so that their
separation, whether it be voluntary or
forced by the falsely supposed nature Of
things, is either direct destroyer of char
acter or an alarming affront to its develop
ment. And thus truth applies to the limit
of the race. II Is but one soul that
passes irrevocably beyond reach Of a
brothers aid. that brothers sphere for
character building in himself is by SO much
limited, and his moral nature becomes
paralyzed by shock which destroys much
Of the joy of his developing angelhood.
Again, that other faculty of the human
soul called love, is perfected m proportion
as it extends itself toward universal hu-
mainly. Awftn are its paroxysms of dis
tress when it contemplates the loss of that
wretched one which its perfect9ng nature
has taught it to hold dear. And, strange
as it may SEEM the more perfect this fac
ulty becomes the more acute the pain at
another,s woe, and the more closely the ties
bind us to the sinner.
The new salvation tells us that instead of
severihg the bonds that bind men, the de-
velcpment Of character strengthens them
so that the race Is drawn into heaven as a
chain with no broken link and all there be-
comes Joy

that honor Is Curtis D. Wilbur, who, &C.
cording to program, viii be pulled out OF
the fight. Variei says his qualifications for
the Office of chairman are that he once
ruled an unruly school Of very big bad
boys" and that experience, he believes,
has fitted him to control the delegates who
will assemble today.
The Prolific Fourth
The Fourth ward is prolific in candidates.
Not only has 1t one man for every place
on the ticket, but in several instances
two and even three Fourth warders, are
out for the same office, and a merry time
Is expected in the delegation In trying to
agree on a choice.
There is going to be no end of a row
before the committee on credentials to-
day over the delegates elected from the
Eighteenth precinct. Chick Is credited
with two delegates from that precinct as
against Louis Vetter. who Is unquestion-
ably the choice of the Third ward for the
nomination for councilman. George Will
son is said to have the aff1davits Of five
men who say they voted illegally in the
Eighteenth precinct at the primaries in
selecting the delegates. and a fight is going
illegal voting. Should the matter be pressed
in the precinct named, the railroad push
threatens to keep the committee on Gre
dentials busy for a week hearing protests
from other precincts where 1t Is claimed
that men now in the asylum at Highlands
were voted at the primaries.
The Eighth Ward
Yesterday the row In the Eighth ward
over the question as to who was to be
the chairman of their delegation was set
tied by the election Of Dave Brant, in
place Of Mr.. Morgan, who claimed the
honor. 1t is said the selection Of Brant
has healed all differences, but Morgan g
supporters say NO" and hence a split
up Is looked for In the erstwhile solid
"ate"
Some Few Candidates
For the ONCE Of mayor Fred Eaton will
undoubtedly receive the nomination by ac-
clamation. That is slated, programmed and
Eaton has probably prepared his speech
of thanks, unless, like Mr.. Gage, he in
tends to speak '.impromtu."
For street superintendent John Drain,
Incumbent, from the Fourth ward, seemed

Felts, from the Fifth ward, and George
Rheinschild, from the Ninth ward, will be
nominated against him, but Drains sup
porters say he will get the nomination on
the first ballot.
w. H. Hartwell, from the Fourth the
present city treasurer, is out for renomina-
ton. Herman Lichtenberger, from the
Third, and H. ]. Shoulders, from the Fifth,
are against him. Last night 1t looked Ike
Lichtenberger, but he will have to fight
for the nomination, as Hartwell is undoubt-
eddy strong, but the Fourth ward has so
many candidates that this fact will prob
obly be used against him. Shoulders
strength lies IN his own ward so far, but
he is considered good dark horse.
