The Horseshoers' Organization.

Eds. Record Union: I see an ar
ticle in two or three papers on what
they call the new combine of horse
shoers in Yolo County. 1t is not very
new, for it is all over the United States,
and is known as the Master Horse
shoers' Protection Association of Amer
lea. Woodland has organized a local
branch for that town and vicinity.
see a few errors in one of the papers
that 1 would like to correct.
We have here in Sacramento branch
of the Master Horseshoers' Protection
Association of America, and not allied
with the Sacramento Council of FEEDER
ated Trades, nor are we allied with any
federation.
A good mechanic would not and could
not shoe horses for so cents. There is
not one n-association shop in Sacra-
mento. We are only a branch Of the
ass ISOLATION of the United States, and
have been organized for over two years.
The head center is at the city of Pitts
burg, Pa, and where our grand Secre-
tary resides. We have a journal known
as the sfHorseshoers' Journal which is
published and printed at Detroit, Mich.
The seventh annual convention of
horSeshoerS was held at Cincinnati last
November, and was a grand success
for the craft. 1t is to the interest of
the hardware men, or dealers, to be
with US in every thing that is just and
right. We know that competition is
not the life of trade in the horseshoeing
business, but is the death of it.

Power of the Mormon Priesthood.

The priesthood can always rely on the
women. They have been the strength
OF the church, even under that system
OF polygamy which made them living
martyrs They have the full right
of suffrage, and none who is not in ac-
cord with the church authorities need
look for their support. The men are
subject to a constant discipline that
keeps them at all times in sympathy
with the ambitions Of the leaders. There
are 1,5O0 Mormon missionaries now in
the foreign work of the church, the
brightest of its young men, the future
leaders in all matters. They are COM
PEELED to sacrifice everything and to
labor for two or three years far from
home in the interests of their religion.
None who goes through this experience
ever forgets the power of the priest
hood and each understands that if he
should show too great a spirit of inde-
pendence, he may be called again to
make the sacrifice. No young man in
the church may be married in one of
the temples unless he is faithful and
obedient to his superiors, and no young
woman would consider herself married
in the sight of God unless she was
sealed" by the proper authorities. In
business, in politics, in social life, every
where, the young man meets the church,
and he must be of iron if he dares to
stand out against it. Many have done
so in the past, but they have been the
exceptions Their numbers have never
been sufficient to offset the church it.

pearance is as though the original piece
of stone had been broken to pieces by a
violent blow and then repaired And,
as a matter Of fact, this appears to be
the true explanation of this irregularity
of the surface: for it is recorded by the
Arabian histories of the Kalba that in
the year 413 of the Hajira an emissary
of certain Egyptian Khalifa, known
as 'the mad Khalifa Hakim," shatter-
ed it to pieces by stroke of club, and
they relate that, after this event, the
pieces, and even the dust, also, were
carefully restored, and the fragments
cemented together.
The protuberances mentioned are
twelve or fifteen in number, and are
such as to impart to the surface of the
stone a muscular or pebbly appearance.
Near the middle there is hollow which
reaches to about as much as two inches
below the outer edge of the stone, and
is of kind to suggest to the visitor the
Esurmise that one Of the protuberances
may have been removed. The color of
the surface of the relic is at the present
time deep reddish brown, or, as some
have described it, metallic black; and
notwithstanding the polished appear
ance impaired to it by the constant
touching of unnumbered myriads of de-
votees, it yet bears on it's undulating
surface what appears to be evident
marks of volcanic origin. These mus
cular protuberances, however, are at
tributed by the Moslem authorities to
the incessant oscillations and rubbings
! OF the faithful. The SmOOthness may
perhaps be attributed to this cause, but
the obviously fractured and pebbly ap-
pearance is not accounted for in this
way.-Asiatic Quarterly.

FROM PAUL TO CONSTANTINE.
HISTORIC LECTURE AT ST.
PAUL'S CHURCH.
Reverend John B. Koehne's Third
Discourse is Heard by a
Large Audience.

Rev. John B. Koehne of Chicago de-
hvered the third lecture Of his Naza-
rene series att ST. Paul,s last night to a
large audience. His specific subject
was: "Christianity: the Historic Move
ment From Paul to Constantine"
The speaker began with a brief, clear
statement of Christ's birth in the golden
age, analyzing the character of Angus
tus, a typical Roman Emperor, in IN
era of national glory. He portrayed the
moral infamies of the period, as they
are known to students of Roman his
tory-some of them too vile to be re-
ferred to in terms the least specific. He
quoted from the poet Horace to show
the status of morals, and gave Virg1fs S
great prophecy that civilization would
| end in a sea of blood.
The appalling character of the times
was Illustrated by a reference to the
| corruption that existed in the political
and social world Women were shown
to have been degraded; honesty was
mere pretense, virtue almost unknown,
though respect for women is the meas
ure of civilization. Slavery existed, and
the amusements of the day were IS
cruel as the pitiless steel of the fight
Ing SlaQldtOrS, VINO QleO IOT the dllluoe-
ment of perfumed adonises, who bet
| their sesterces on this combatant or
that. In addition to all this, idolatry
was common.
Nero, the incarnation Of paganisnl,
was contrasted with Paul, and the ca
| reer of Christianity from Jerusalem to
| Rome was pictured in the great apos-
ties life. BY a few rapid sketches the
| speaker portrayed the striking differ
ences-social, political, moral-between
the early Christians and the hardened
| Romans. The first, second and third
| prosecutions of the Christians were de-
scribed, and it was shown that the eth
ical differences were so great that con-
| fiiet was inevitable. Epicurianism was
se1fsh-all for pleasure. like Ingersoll's
teachings; stoicism was at once splen-
did and mean. Plato's Republic" was
contrasted with Christ's kingdom-the
! one Goddess and full of conflicting
ideas. the other permeated with the
God idea and pointing toward heaven,
| the kingdom of peace. After the ex-
haustion of all human theories redemp-
ton came as the word. The storm
finally broke over the pagan world, but
the radiance of Christianity shone in

INTENSE SUFFERING
FROM DYSPEPSIA AND STOr1-
ACH TROUBLE
Instantly Relieved and Permanently
Cured by Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
New Discovery, But Not Patent
Medicine.

DR.. Redwell relates an interesting ac-
count of what he considers a remark
able cure of acute stomach trouble and
chronic dyspepsia by the use Of the new
discovery, Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
He says: The patient was man
who had suffered to my knowledge, for
years with dyspepsia. Everything he
ate seemed to sour and create gases in
the stomach; he had pains like rheu-
matism in the back, shoulder blades
and limbs, fullness and distress after
eating, poor appetite and loss of flesh;
the heart became affected, causing pail
pitation and sleeplessness at night
gave him powerful nerve tonics and
blood remedies, but to no purpose. AS
an experiment / finally bought a 90
cent package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets at drug store and gave them
to him. Almost immediate relief was
given, and after he had used four boxes
he was TO all appearances fully cured
There was no more acidity or sour
watery risings, no bloating after meals,
the appetite was vigorous and he has
gained between ten and twelve pounds
in weight of solid healthy flesh.
Although Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
are advertised and sold in drug stores.
yet l consider them a most valuable
addition to any physicians line of rem
edies, as they are perfectly harmless.
and can be given to children or inva-
lids or in any condition of the stom-
ach with perfect safety, being harm
less and containing nothing but fruit
and vegetable essences, pure pepsin and
Golden Seal.
Without any question they are the
safest, most effective cure for indiges-
tion, biliousness, constipation and all
arrangements of the stomach, however
slight or severe.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are made
by the F. A. Stuart Company Of Mar
shall, Mich, and are sold by druggists
everywhere at 80 cents per package.

Phoenix Ball Teams Challenge.

Eds Record Union: It was with
surprise that the members of the
Phoenix Mill ball team read in
yesterday mornings Record Union"
the challenge of the Mason's Laundry
team to play them fer any amount of
money.
The Masons have been up against
the Phoenix team so many times al
ready and met defeat that it seems
surprising that they should wish to
go against them again. But as the
challenge of the Masons was for the
Phoenix in particular, and not wishing
the Masons to even have a chance to
say they challenge our team and we
would not accept, We make this propo-
sition to them:
That we play a. series of three games
and forever settle the question Of su-
premacy on any grounds the Masons
may select-Oak Park, if it can be Sc
cured-for not less than $50 and as
much more as they can raise, the games
to be arranged later, if our challenge
is accepted, and this we very much
doubt.
One half Of this money must be de-
posted in the hands of some party or
parties mutually agreed On by both
teams. as a forfeit, one week before
| the games commence. If one team
fails to put up the other half of the
money, or fails to play the games as
scheduled, the team meeting all re-
quirements of the contract to claim the
money deposited.
| Now, if Thomas Compton and the
rest of the Mason team wish to play
US so badly they can do so, but only
by agreeing to the above terms, and
the Phoenix team will then, and only
then accept them.
The Phoenix team challenges any
team-Organized team only-to play at
any time, out-of-town teams preferred,

BLACK STONE OF ISLAM.
It's Appearance and the Various
Theories of It's Origin.

So carefully is the black stone Of
the Temple of Mecca guarded, even tc
this day, that the accounts given by
different writer's as to the nature and
appearance of the black stone exhibit
some considerable variations; for or
thodoX MuSsulmanS cannot be prevailed
upon to give a straightforward de-
scription of it, and mere adventurers
like the several European Hajis (Burck-
hardt, Burton and the others) could
only crafty their intelligent curiosity
by stealthy Investigations. Detection
in the act of pursuing such investiga-
tion would have cost the travellers their
| lives, in pursuance Gas Mahometans
suppose) of the law of the prophet
Your faithful Mussulman cannot un-
derstand that any other motive than
worship should lead any one to visit
Mecca.
Mr.. Bate mentions what intelligent
travellers have recorded concerning the
nature of the black stone. One of them
tells us that it is undoubtedly a large
aerolite-an opinion which scarcely har-
monies with its reputed quality of
floating in water, since aerolites US
ually contain a large percentage of
heavy metallic matter, such as iron
pyrites. Another traveller reports that
it looks like a piece of lava, containing
small extraneous particles of some
white and yeilowish substance. Still
another of these authorities affirms that
1t is fragment of volcanic basalt,
sprinkled throughout its surface with
small pointed colored crystals, and va
ried with felspar upon dark ground.
like coal-excepting one of it's protuber-
ances, which happens to be a little red
dish Others, again, claiming an equal
title to exact knowledge, give it as their
opinion that it is nothing else than an
ordinary piece of stone from uuarries
in which the Meccan territory abounds.
These last-mentioned travellers, how
ever, appear to overlook the circum-
stance that this opinion of theirs does
not take due cognizance of that proper
ty of the stone to which that the only
kind of stone yielded by the Meccan
quarr1es is sort of a gray granite.
Not so difficult is it to form an idea
as to its size and present appearances
In form 1t is an irregular oval, the in
equality of its two longer sides impart-
ing to it somewhat semicircular an
pearance. 1t measures about six inches
in hight and eight in breadth, the dia-
meter on its lower and wider side being
eight inches and a half. The surface
is protuberant and somewhat knobby
or undulating, and has the appearance
of being composed of a number of
smaller stones of different sizes and
shapes, securely fitted together with
cement and perfectly smooth It's ap-
