MINISTERS GOT OFF WRONG.
TOOK THEIR TEXT FROM THE
YELLOW JOURNALS.
Assemblyman Knights Says It was
He Who Influenced the Re-
publican Committee.

The publication in the San Francisco
papers yesterday of reports OF sermons
delivered in this city on Sunday by
Revs. A. B. Banks of the First Baptist
Church and s. ]. Carroll of the Sixth
street Methodist Church created quite
q stir in legislative. and Senatorial cir
Cles.
Both clergymen spoke on the strug-
gle that is in progress for the choice
of q United States Senator, and Mr..
Banks was reported as saying:
An attempt has been made on the
part Of a central club here in this, our
own city, to menace and browbeat a
into doing something which his con-
science and his conception of duty tells
him he should not do.
Il desire to denounce this attempt OF
4 band of interested men to bring pres
sure upon an individual to compel him
10 violate his conscience and his judg-
ment as not true to American prln-
fiples and as a menace to the future of
the Republic
To Rev. Mr. Carroll the following
remarks were credited:
Il would not have spoken of these
matters but for the fact that the cir
cumstances have forced me to it,. When
a little coterie of men, ignoring the
Christianizing influences of churches,
the wishes of all decent men, and in op-
position to the sentiment that prevails
among the thousands who are en-
.braced within the sphere of the Metho-
dist Church, dares to advance the am
1bitions of man who is discredited
from the borders of Mexico to the boun-
dary of Oregon, it is time to pray for
"a visitation of divine influence to
thwart their plans. 1 deny that the ac-
fion of this little coterie of men repre-
sents the sentiment of the people of
this county
These publications aroused the in
dignation of members of the Repub-
1ican County Committee, as we'll as of
'.Assemblyman Knights-who was the
person referred to as the intended vic
tim of intimdation-and the latter and
Chairman Alvin j. Bruner set out to
interview the gentlemen of the cloth, -
but failed to find either of them.
Mr.. knights then addressed COM
munication to Chairman Bruner by
way of generating the latter and the
other members of the committee from
the charges of intimidation and bull
dosing that had been so freely hurled
at them, and showing that the action
taken by the committee, and which had
been made the pretext for all this
abuse, was at his (KnightsO own re-

The whole trouble in this matter
seems to be, not that our committee
lndorsed a candidate for United States
Senator, but that they indorsed a can
didate of whom these reverend gentle
men did not approve. I have not heard
word of condemnation for the other
County Central Committees who nave
denounced Mr.. Burns, nor for those
committees who have indorsed other
candidates for that exalted position,
and given iron-clad instructions to their
representatives.

The Names Of Laees.

Some interesting facts concerning
lace manufacture are given by Or
lena L. Shackelford in the Woman's
Home Companion:
The nomenclature of lace is de-
cided by certain peculiarities of pat
tern, mesh or stitches that belong 10
certain localities, and it is retained
even when those localities have long
ceased to produce their distinctive
fabrications. ValencienneS has not
for many years wrought the laces
that bear its name, their manufac-
ture having long since been trans.
ferred to Ypres, Belgium; while the
Chantilly laces are all made at Ba>
yeuX.
The finest French laces are made
in Normandy; the cheaper ones come
from the Auyergne, which was the
first French province to produce pl.
low lace. Bayeux, with her tributary
surroundings, is the larges, and haSf
producer of black laces. her Nte,-
tilly is par excellence" the finest
ever made. Caen is also a center 70,

good black and white blonde, trI.
pures are made in the Auvergnp hui.
the finest come from the VosgeS. Mr.
ecourt furnishes fine point and M
low lace. Brussels furnishes mot ~
the Belgian needle-points, though Z.
Flanders. Brabant and Hainault now
supply large quantities. The old
laces for which Binche. BrugeS and
Flanders were once so celebrated are
no longer the mode though still much
priced by connoissieurS. This is also
true of Malines, or Mechlin lace and
Nalenciennes, not so beautiful as the
lozenge ground, and coarser qualiti s
come from Courtrai and different
parts of Flanders: Lille and Valen-
ciennes formerly belonged to the
Netherlands. which accounts for their
early proficiency in lace-making.
Flemish guipures are noted for
their excellence. The Belgian and
French lacesa are the finest, in point
OF fabrication, in the world, Paris
is, to a large extent, an emporium for
Belgian laces; she is the birthplace
OF fashion and novelties. and dictates

for the vaporous fneness of her

delicacy her famous point de gaze.

Got Down on His Knees.

When the Duke Of Wellington was
cooperating with the Spanish army
in the Peninsula against Napoleon, he
was DESTROYS on one occasion, during
general engagement, that the gen.
eral commanding the Spanish contin-
gent should execute a certain move
ment on the field. He communicated
the wish to the Spaniard personally,
and was somewhat taken aback to be
told that the honor OF the king OF
Spain and his army would compel a
refusal Of the request unless Yelling
ton, as foreign officer, graciously
permitted to exist and fight on Span
ish soil, should present the petition
on his knees. The old duke often used
to tell the story afterward, and he
would say: Now, 1 was extremely
anxious to have the movement exc.
cuted, and l didn't care twopenny
damn about getting on my knees, so

The agitation about Findlater has
been productive of good results, for
in future soldiers who receive the
Victoria Cross and are incapacitated
for work will receive fifty pounds
sterling year instead of the ten
pounds now granted, and no soldier
who wears the cross for valor need
fear that he will end his days in the

frequently been suggested; but the
