Chicago University's President Tells
Students How to Overcome
Doubts.

OAKLAND, March 26.-In his farewell
speech at California College this after
noon President Harper of Chicago Uni
versity made the confession that in his
earlier years he was anxious to be a
skeptic and tried by study to Justify his
inclination. He spoke generally of the
difficulties that confront students in their
theological studies and the manner in
which these should be met and over
come President Harper spoke in part
as follows:
Every student of the Bible must meet
with difficulties and doubts. This is the
natural result of study. To think is to
doubt for no man taxes for granted all
he may think. must have doubts and
difficulties if -Ie be sincere. When l was
much younger I was anxious to prove
that the Bible was only an ordinary book,
and very ordinary one at that. | want
ed to believe that it was full of doubt
and difficulty, and [ spent three or four
wears trying to prove these things to my
own satisfaction. But with study the
light began to dawn and it grew brighter
and brighter The man who does not
meet with difficulties is the hopeless
case No one can help him, for he thinks
he needs no help.
Difficulties will arise; 1t is q student S
duty to combat them and to discuss them
fearlessly and he will finally find that in
the Bible will be found the proof of the
foundation of the Christian religion, and
in the Bible God will be found the true

90S Broadway, March 26.
Bourrouil Matthew, aged AZ years, was
found dead in a room at the Huff House,
427 Ninth street, shortly after o'clock
| this morning.
Death was due to gas asphyxiation and
the dead man was found in a kneeling
posture by a chair near his bed. He had
occupied the bed during the night and
was but partially clad when the landlady,
Mrs. Josephine Brischaus, found him.
Whether death was accidental or suici-
dial will perhaps be determined by a
Coroners jury tomorrow night, for the
conditions surrounding the case are such
that a thorough investigation has been
determined upon by Coroner Mehrmann.
Matthew had been employed for the past
five years as a washer in the Oakland
Laundry at Twenty-ninth street and San
Pablo avenue. His friends speak Of him
as a man of frugal habits and economic.
Last night he severed his connection
with the Oakland Laundry and was to
have started in the laundry business for
himself having leased a place at Third
and Washington streets He told his CO.
employees he would first enjoy a week S
rest and expected to begin operations in
his new place a week from tomorrow. He
was in the best of spirits when he parted
company last night and Immediately went
to the Huff House, intending TO rent a
room there for a week. The theory of
suicide is scoffed at by his friends as well
as by Mrs. Brischaus, who discovered
his dead body this morning.
Mr.. Matthew rented a room here at
1920 o'clock last night" said Mrs. Bris-
chaus to a Call reporter. He said he
wished the room for week. but made
no arrangements about paying the rent.
did not notice that he had any company.
At 1870 o'clock this morning 1 went to
arouse him and to ask him about the
rent. 1 knocked at the door, but got no an
sWer Then 1 tried the door and found it
open. Looking in, I saw him kneeling by
a chair at the head of the bed, dead. L
Immediately ran down and gave the
alarm.
81 do not think he committed suicide, be-
cause he seemed in such a happy frame
of mind last night. His death was
probably due to carelessness.'
officer Curtis, who was detailed on the
case, found the gas cock in Matthew's
room turned wide open, and beneath the
dead mans pillow was found purse
containing $50 or more.
Deceased was a native of France. aged

MRS. BOOTH TALKS
TO THE CoNvIcTs

Mrs. Booth addressed six hundred con-
victs in the prison chapel at San quentin
Prison Yesterday morning, her audience
seemingly being much impressed by her
words of exhortation and encouragement.
Music was furnished by the prison band
and a selected choir.
A novel feature of the occasion was the
selection of two of the inmates to deliver
addresses of welcome. H. E. Brown, the
Mendocfno outlaw, welcomed Miss Jennie
Hughes. Mrs. Booths secretary, while a
prisoner named st. Clair officiated in a
similar capacity for the noted volunteer
herself. Both acquitted themselves cred
itably and were thanked for their earnest
words of greeting.
At the beginning of her sermon Mrs.
Booth outlined the work OF the Folun-
teer Prison League and especially of the
Hope Halls in the East. She explained
these institutions to be homes where ex-
convicts are cared for until work can be
secured for them. Many are. conducted
by trained corps. In New York the infiu-
ence of the league is so powerful that
no prisoners are paroled until they have
the recommendation of its representa-
causes of their downfall she said:
After they are free there is a greater
bondage. You have to endure the bond
age of heart and the bondage of life
something far worse than the bondage of
man. l want to point out to you the
hand that can save you from this bond
age. the nand that can remove tne eVll
habit the evil temperament and the de-
sire to do evil. 1t is the hand of Christ,
the. Savior of the world. Without his aid
you can never hope to cope successfully
with the cohorts of satan, who is ever
lying in wait to drag you back into the
paths of temptation"
AS soon as she had finished her address
Mrs. Booth met number of the con-
Victs and spoke to them individually as
regards their desire to lead better lives.
Mrs. Duncan, wife of Lieutenant Colonel
Duncan, also delivered an address to the
marked success that many of them ex-
pressed their sorrow at the lives they
had led and stated their intention to do
better in the future
Mrs. Booth and her companions were
entertained as the guests of Warden Hale
while at the prison. They returned to this
city in the afternoon.
