We again defend the position of the

to remark that if he SO desired lie
could by following the full letter of
the law, make good thing out of
his office, but in looking after the

but uses that discretion which the
law gives him power to use.
We will not in the future attempt a
defense OF distorted articles, for the
people will be ready to see in which
direction the wind blows. 1t is simply
a question whether the fair name of

Lenten Pastoral.

BELoyED-Once again, in the
course of the revolving Christian
year, the Church calls you, as she
does all of her children, to the OBJ
servance of blessed and holy Lent,
The Church does this for your spirit
ual welfare, that you may continually
grow in grace and in the knowledge
OF our Lord and Savior, Jesus Chaist.''
Grace is plentiful if you will avail
privileges. While it is true that God
is ever waiting to be gracious, ever
ready to give you His blessing, il you
at this Lenten season draw nigh to
God" in the appointed services of the
Church, most assuredly will He
draw nigh to you." To the perform
ance of what duties are you called?
10 sincere repentance for sins: to sol
emn humiliation and earnest prayer
for forgiveness: to a stated attend
ance, SO far as possible. on all of the
Lenten services of the Church; and
to the exercise of the largest charity
to your fellow men, that you may
grant that forgiveness to others
which you seek for yourself.
The ends to be sought:
1. To get nearer to Christ in mind
and heart and life; to know Him bet
ter, and to love him more sincerely,
aud to obey Him more perfectly.
2. To conqner the sins of selfish
ness and Indifference, that we NAV be
more spiritually minded.
The means to be employed:
1. The study of the scriptures SO
far as possible.
2. Public worship, private PRAYER.
withdrawal from the world, and in.
creased activity in the Church's SER
vices.
3. Make some definite rule for your
guidance during Lent, but do not
bind yourself to it by any stringent
vows, lest they become burdensome
and you keep them for the sake of
the promise rather than for Jesns
sake. Keep your Christian liberty
that each act Of self denial may be
offered as willing sacrifice to Him
who loved us and gave Himself for
u.s."
The Easter joy will be deepened by
the companionship of souls who may
now be unconscious of the love of
Him who waiteth to be gracious.
Dear Brethren, may it be deeper in
your hearts than you ever felt it be.

Ezra Durllng, special deputy Of
this order, has been at work among
the people of Cresco with the result
that about 55 of Cresco's citizens have
entered this order and have organized

name of Cresco Camp. The order was
founded by the author and founder of

points of superiority to that organiza-
lion. At their last meeting it was
agreed to leave the charter open until
Thursday next, large number having
signitied their intention to take advan-
tage OF the special charter rates of
membership. when the list will be
closed with a membership Anticipated
to be in the neighborhood of IS, a
very phenomenal membership for so
short time of working up. and also

by insurance agents for other COM

measure for this success.

CONTRABAND OF WAR
Spain Wants No Sulphur Shipped
From italian Ports

ROME, April N.-In the chamber of dep
uties today the under secretary of foreign
affairs, Conte Domin Tolgare, in reply to
questions, said that the Spanish govern
ment had declared sulphur contraband of
war. The Italian government, he added
was fully impressed with the Importance
Of the sulphur trade for Italy and Sicily
but thought it advisable not to make the
declaration on the subject at the present
moment.
With reference to the reports that sail
ors were being enrolled in Italy for service
in the United States navy. he said the
government was without official informa-
tion as to the matter, but that orders would
be given for a strict observance of neu-
trality.
The chamber voted an extension of the
reduction of the wheat import duties until
August 18th.
Several bread riots took place today at
Bari, capital of the province of that name.
A mob of 1000 attacked the tax office
burned the papers, devastated the public
gardens and then proceeded to make an
assault upon the town hall and prison. The
latter attempt was frustrated by the
prison guards and police.

NEVADA, Cal, April 27.-AThe parade Of
the grand paror N. S. G. w. today was a

Sons, the Nevada lightguard, the knights
Of Sherwood Forest, the Giltedge Baseball
club of Sacramento and the Gamer club
OF this city, together with all of the school
children Of the township, escorted the via-
itors through the principal streets and sew
eral thousand spectators cheered them az
they marched. Tonight the greatest ball
in the city's history was given In honor Of
the grand parlor. Business sessions were
held this forenoon and afternoon, The
most important question settled was as to
the holding Of the semi-centennial Ad-
mission day at San Francisco. An effort
was made to have 1t postponed till 1901, in
order that 1t might not be detracted from
by the coming exposition at Paris, but the
effort failed. Resolutions were adopted
expressing the patriotic sentiments Of CAL
ifornia's sons relative to the movement OF
this government to free Cuba. The action
of Monday in declaring that grand officers
must walk in the parades of the order
was reversed. The rest of the days busi-
ness was Of q routine nature.

POOR LITTLE HAYTI
Afraid Treaty Obligations Will Invite
Spanish Attacks

PORT AU PRINCE, April N-The Hay
tien government is somewhat worried by
the obligations of the treaty with the
United States. fearing that a fullflment of
the articles Is, 80 and 80 would invite a
Spanish attack. The government wishes
to restrict its policy to mere neutrality.
United States Minister Powell has assured
the government that America will exact
all the obligations of the treaty and has
demanded that no shelter shall be given
to privateer in any circumstance. Spain
not having equal treaty privileges with
the United States, an opposite course, Mr.
Powell contends, must necessarily be re-
garded by the United States as an un-
friendly act. The government is well dis
posed toward America and will probably
acquiesce.
The Spanish minister has intimated to
the correspondent that he expects
European intervention in the war between
the United States and Spain.

BALTIMORE, Md, April 27.-The Fourth
regiment, Maryland national guard. left
Camp Wilmer, near this city, and returned
to it's armory here in a body, by order Of
Maj j-Gen. Wilmer, commander-in-chief.
This action is the result of dissatisfaction
on the part of the officers Of the regiment.
over the fact that the Fifth regiment was
selected as the one to fill out the call for
troops made by President Mckinley, while
the Fourth was offered the privilege of re-
organizing into four batteries of artillery
to do coast defense only. Col. Willard
Howard of the Fourth, as the senior in
point of service, claimed that his regiment
should have been selected. The First regi-
ment, which is composed Of companies in
different parts of the state outside of Ball
timore, accepted the offer to supply men
for the four batteries. Gen. Wilmer there
upon informed the commanding officer Of
the Fourth that the services of that regi-
ment would not be required, and ordered
them to return to their armory. Col. How
ard made an address, in which he an
nounced his intention of going to Washing.

A STUBBORN FIGHT
Which Critic Wins in the Twentieth
Round

SACRAMENTO, April 27.-In the last ten
second of the twentieth round Critic
knocked out Bull McCarty Of Philadelphia
tonight, before the Sacramento Athletic
club. 1t was stubborn fight from start
to finish. McCarty has not Grifro's s
physique, by any means, but he isS Ia ten
acious, bulldog fighter and up to the last
minute it looked as If Critic could no,
whip him, badly punished as he was. Nc
Carly did most of the leading, while Critic
contented himself with stiff counter in
the face every time his adversary came at
him. Once in while Critic would rush
and land blow or two, but McCarty
would wriggle out of the mix-up and come
back at him. At times McCarty was dis
tressed while Critic, who was in fine con-
dition, was fresh throughout the fight.
There was striking in the clinches, which
operated in Griffo's favor.
The latter was quick as cat with both
hands and feet and his ring generalship
and cleverness enabled him to avoid pun
ishment.
