Matters fastened from bad TO worss

boldly proposed admitting the New Boy

''She'll be back tomorrow all right

The Would-be Robbers Did Not,
However, Put in an Ap-

II is just possible there had been a
plan arranged to hold up the overland
express train that left here at 10
o'clock last night, but if there was,
something went wrong and the attempt
was not made.
Just before the train left the depot
youth handed to the conductor Of a
Pullman sleeper one or two (the exact
number could not be learned) black
face-masks which he said he had just

had been dropped by one of a party
of train robbers
The matter was promptly reported at
way of precaution Detective Ahern was
detailed to accompany the train UP the
mountain and to keep q lookout for
anything that might look like an. at
tempt to hold up the train.
As the train wound through the yards
east of the depot some men attempted
to board it, but it started off at good
speed and they were not successful.
This, however, is not an uncommon oc-
currence, and may have had no sig
nificance whatever.
Ahern wired back that nothing un-
usual had occurred up to the time the
train reached Auburn at 1 o'clock this
morning.
The presence of the masks on the car
may not have meant anything serious,
but it certainly. was sufficient to put
the railroad people on their guard
against possible attempt to rob the
train. The fact that no attempt was
made, may have been due to the loss
of the masks, or to the failure Of the
men to get aboard the train as it left
here.
Men do not carry such things as
masks for amusement, and their pres
ence on the car can only be accounted
for on the supposdtion that they We're
dropped accidentally by some member
Of a robber gang.
If any robbery had been attempted
last night, however the robbers would
have found the trainmen ready to give
them an unusual reception.

Papal Jubilee Years.

In connection with the PRONUNCIATION
at ST. Peters of the Papal bull pro-
claiming 1890 jubilee year, the Wat
e1land" of Vienna, gives an account OF
these papal jubilee or holy years. The
first jubilee was proclaimed by Boni-
face VIII, in 1900, almost against his
will. The rumor had been spread, and
persistently maintained, that plenary
indulgence would be accorded 10 all pill
grims to Rome during century years" ;
and though the Pope, who had the ar
chives searched. could not find any doc
ument establishing such a usage, he
was practically forced to issue bul1 on
February %, 1900. granting plenary in
dulgence to all who would visit the
graves Of the Apostles Peter and Paul
in that year, because hundreds of
thousands were already on their way
to the Eternal City, and the Polnans
would have grumbled at losing the
golden harvest AT no time during the
year We're there fewer than two hum
dred thousand pilgrims in Rome. great
ly to the benefit not only of the inn
keepers and tradesmen, but also of the
church, for out of the donations of the
pilgrims both ST. Peters and St. Paul's
were richly decorated.
The remembrance of this year of
plenty induced Pope Clement VI. to pro-
claim holy year in 1850, on the ground
that the Jewish year of jubilee was ev-
cry fiftieth year, and so great was the
pecuniary profit that the keepers had
not even time to count the money they
received from the pilgrims, who simply
laid the amount of their score on a
table, where it remained till late in the
evening. The Romans induced Pope
Urban VI. to reduce the interval from
fifty to thirty-three years, another holy
year being proclaimed for 1890, and
finally the interval was fixed. in 147O
by Pope Paul H.. at twenty-five years
only, and the influx of pilgrims in 1900
was greater than ever before 1t is
recorded that at the jubilee OF 1915
many Protestants. moved by the devo-
tion of the pilgrims, and the splendid
church festivities, were converted; and
at the next jubilee in 1900, several
Turks were baptized in Rome, and the
Pope and Cardinals We'd with each
other in making. Rome attractive to
what would now be called the interna-
tional tourists. There was no jubilee
in 1900, owing to the sad condition of
the church, but one was celebrated with
all pomp and success in 1925. This was
the last century jubilee" of the church,
since neither in 1850 nor in 1879 was
celebration possible, though extra jubi-
lees, not connected with centuries or
parts OF centuries, We're proclaimed un-
der Pho Mono and under the present
Pope, and celebrated with complete sue

Grand Parlor Delegates Being Roy
ally Entertained. s
A Moonlight Picnic and Dance Held at
6oodwater Grove Yesterday.
jackson, Amador, Likely to Have
the Next Session Of the Parlor-
Interesting Fights for the Of
fees Of Grand Vice President
and Grand Treasurer.

STOCKTON, June 14.-This was a.
day of secret session with the Grand
I'arlor of the Native Daughters. All
sessions are behind the closed parlor
doors, but the press committee was
willing to give out for publication less
to-day than usual.
The evening, however, was spent in
the open air beneath the trees of Good
water Grove, where moonlight picnic
was rendered to the visiting delegates
and their friends by the local parlor.
The street car line to the grove was
taxed to the utmost by immense
throngs of people, but everyone seemed
to have a good time, and it was the
fact that the entire crowd wanted to
stay until the very last dance, and then
go home in a bunch was the cause for
the trouble Of the common carrier.
The grove was decorated with cleo
trio lights fantastically hung among the
trees so as to light the entire place after
the moon was set. Dance music at the
Pavilion followed the concert, and it
was not until late hour that the grove
was cleared. Nothing in the form Of
public entertainment has been planned
for Tomorrow evening, but the MEM
bers of the Grand Parlor will be the
guests of the Native Sons on Friday
evening at the big agricultural pavilion
1t seems likely that the next session
of the Grand Parlor will be held at
Jackson. in Amador County, that city
being the only one to extend an invita-
tion to the Grand Parlor to come its
way. The selection has not been Off
cially made, but no other city is known
to be out for the honor
In the election there are two pretty
interesting fights, one for the office of
Emma Gett of Sacramento and Mrs.
Genevieve Baker of San Francisco,
each of whom has a strong party nf
delegates who are urging her for the
honor. The other contest is for the
Grand Treasureship. Miss Lizzie
Douglass, the present incumbent, was
the only candidate until week or two
since, when Mrs. Eliza D. Keith, who
had been mentioned for Grand Vice
President, was brought into the fight.
Both candidates are from San Fran
cisco, and belong to the same parlor.
The most noteworthy action of to-day
lin the parlor session was the passage of
a resolution supported by Past Grand
President Mrs Bell w. Conrad and Mrs.
Keith, donating $50 to the Native
Sons fund for the purchase of medals
for the California volunteers.
1t was decided to fix the time of in
stalling officers to January and July in
all parlors. 1t is more than likely that
the offices of Inside and Outside Sem
tinel will be made elective hereafter.
