Oakland, Cal, Jan. 22.-Rev. James
G.. Machines, pastor of the Oakland
Congregational chapel, yesterday an
nounced his retirement from the min
istry. Said he: Il believe in dancing
and long list OF other things that are
(abooed by church goers when indulg-
ed in by ministers. If a man needs a
drink he has the right to take it. When

believe in God and Christianity, but
the church is burdened with false
ideas and full of sinful hypocrites. and
some of my friends who might be call
ed lushers' are Intimately better than
these frauds of piety. The ministry
is no place for young man who wants
his personal liberty"

VIII Welcome IL Salt For Damages
in - serious Trial.
Paris, Jan. 23-The Figaro publishes
Count Boni de Castellane's cablegram
and says:
I'VE disdaln his insults. which do
not harm us. We shall be delighted to
meet him in the law courts on condi-
tion that the trial be a serious one,
and that nothing be kept back which
would throw the fullest light on the
matter. But owing to the professional
secrecy OF stock brokers there is only
one means of clearly establishing the
truth, and this means lies in the hands
of De Castellane. Let him request the
minister of finance to send an in
spector to inquire of the stock brokers
the minister of finance can alone do
this at De Castellanes request-and
then we shall know positively If De
Castelane has Deen slandered and If
he never speculated on the Bourse.
This is the only course open to De
Castellane. Everything else in his
cablegrams of threats is what the
Americans call a bluff"

one stroke the work established his

He subsequently became a most pro-

chiefly on the sale of his works. His
works on political economy, however

Washington, Jan. 23.-Henry A.
Hazen, professor Of meteorology and
one of the chief foreoasters of weather
conditions of the weather bureau in
this city, was probably fatally injured
last night by being thrown from his

the professor was on his way to the
bureau. At the corner of Sixteenth
and NJ streets he ran into a colored
man, the force of the contact throwing
him from the wheel and pitching him
forward on his head. The skull was
cracked from over the nose to the
back Of the head, and there was also
a hemorrhage OF the brain. Physicians
afterward trepanned the skull. and re-
moved a large clot of blood from the
right side.
