THAT AWFUL TEMBLoR.
Rabbi Voorsanger Speaks. of It in a : = Sermon and Points Some "
 Truths

. In.hfs sermon on Religious Suggestions From Nature" Hast evening, Rabbi Voor- sanger:at the outset spoke on the temblor experienced throughout the State on last Wednesday, night. He said CT dare say that if you felt as I did that night you were considerably shaken. I plead guilty to having been quite alarmed. Yet I am not an. exception to the general rule of humanity Man begins to realize how helpless he is when a cataclysm. bursts oyer the community. We are unable to protest, and it teaches us that we are part of nature"
 The speaker then drew a strong picture of the disaster of Souda, when the Black Sea leaped over the land and engulfed 50000 souls, and of the Baltic navigator, who. believes that when he sails the deep he can look into the. transparent waters and see the spires of some old city which had been. engulfed by the elements of nature. He continued
 Now, | have no doubt there was quite number of us who began to realize that if the earthquake had continued but a few moments longer we would have had what is called DoomsGay. We felt that the strength in QUE right arfn would be of no avail when the- fortified structures of the city shook like. an aSpen leaf. It ought to offer us a lesson in our calm mo ments, when we are not buffeted by ter TOT, when we are not in fear of d sudden calamity; we ought to realize that we are a part of mother nature. It is probable that it is just in such moments we realize our absolute helpfessneSS and our de- pendency on d higher power and begin to feel like a flash of oflightnipg that awful cause and effect. which come from the Almighty. I dare say that in that one moment everybody believed in God said a man to me the next day, hut, said 1 to him, Had you said that in reverence and piety, instead of. sarcastic irreverence, you would have told the truth.'
 The speaker then went on and spoke of the approaching Passover season, and in his a1lusions to it he spoke in a poetic strain, and was listened to with great in- tereSt.

Thls paruc- ular evening of the popular priests mls- sion was devoted to sermon on the Latin military phrase, "Vexilla reg1a pro- teunt" (the standards of the King go forth), but he managed to branch out anu hit upon a few things Of current interest ere he had finished, and also to convince his hearers that dropping nlchei or l"o in the contribution box on the first day oi the wear and on Palm Sunday does not constitute a true Christian.
 Tn introducing his subject the speaker referred to the fact that the close or the season of prayer and meditation IS no" drawing near.

 "At the time she left the family was well pleased and no search was made for her, as has been stated. She has been urged into this action by my political enemies, who are fully aware of her weakened mental condition from the ex, cessive use of drugs. I will be well pleased when divorce is granted"

A COMPROMISE EFFECTED. City Lighting Will Be Kept Within the Appropriation by the.
 C11naruiao

The electric light company that has the contract for furnishing lights to the city agreed yesterday to accept $25,0OO a month for the months of December, 1897 and January, 1S9S,. in lieu of the bills they had presented to the Board of Supervis- ors. Mayor Phelan vetoed the demands on the ground that they conhicted with the one-twelfth act, and the matter was placed in the hands of the committee to decide how it should be disposed of
 It is probable that there will be a gen. eral cutting down of lights for the next five months in order that there may not be deficit in the Street Light fund. The matter will rest for final decision with the Street Lights Committee.
