The Revival Meetings.

A marked increase in enthusiasm
and earnestness is chaFacterizing the
Union Gospel meetings. 1t is indeed
rare treat to have the privilege of
listening to such masterful discourse
as given Tuesday evening by Rev. Os-
from. His powerful arguments, bis
Logical, reasoning, his vivid illustra-
tions, and his eloquence appealed both
t. the heart and intellect of the au.
dience.
Reading from his text. s.And thou
shalt call his name Jesus, for he shall
save his people from their sins," the
evangelist began his sermon with the
statement, a Christian bible always
represents man as great creature
except when compared with God.
Man is too great to be annihilated, bis
capacity for good is unbounded, his
capacity for evil is terrific. But
though man is q great sinner, Jesus a
great Savior, offers through himself, a
great salvation.
The afternoon talk was upon Prayer,
a most helpful meeiing. The speaker
brought out SO emphatically the
beautiful thought that prayer is not
the fulfilling of an obligation to God,
but privilege, it should not be con-
sidered as compulsory, but as a delight.
The highest honor that can be paid a
man is to be granted the privilege OF
making an microscopy prayer. The
spirit in which such a prayer should
be asked, should be the spirit of cacri-
fee, the spirit that prompted Christ
to give his life for us. There are
three impediments to proficient pray
er,-absence of the consciousness Of
God, regarding the iniquity in oul
hearts and small expectancy. Re
cognize the authority of God, have the
evil removed from your life, expect
great things OF God and your prayers
shall be answered.

FINE FALL FOR FARMERS
Conditions in Laporte County DupIi-
Gated Through Northern
Indiana.

The farmers of Laporte county have
had an excellent fall for getting their
work done ready for winter, says the
Michigan City Dispatch. The wealth
er could hardly have been more con-
tinuously beautiful. A little more
rain would perhaps have been little
better for the growing wheat, but the
reports all say it is looking well and
there is no complaint of fly, which has
not been the case before for several
years. Husking corn is generally
completed, but there are always few
who are negligent and anticipate the
demands of the mice and rats for win
ter food. The corn crop is rather
light in quantity, but the quality is
good and the yield is much better
than it was thought possible during
the prolonged drouth of last summer.
Marsh corn is excellent, and now that
the Kankakee marshes are being cul-
tiyated so generally this makes an i'm
portant addition to the crop of the
county. Even potatoes have TUNED
out greatly better than expected, and
probably enough lave been grown in
the county to nearly if not quite sup
ply the home demand. All consider
ed it has not been a bad year for the
farmers despite the unfavorable pre-
dictionS of last summer.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The fall in the Sc

menced with the announcement of the
success of Marconis experiments IN hav-
ing signals transmitted across the ocean
by his wireless system of telegraphy, has
been continuous throughout the week.
ferred has dropped points and ordinary
shares have dropped points, while East
ern Telegraph was a close second with a
fall of 51h points
Quite apart from the speculative bear
movement, there has been a real selling
of stock. The opposition of the Anglo
American Company to Marconi's expert
ments appears to have increased the ap-
prehensions of the shareholders of cable
companies as to the probability of serious
competition in the near future.

KILLS GRIZZLY
AND HER CUBS
Ventura County Hunter
Brings in a Trio
Of Bears.
Special Dispatoh to The Call.

VENTURA, Dec. H.-United States Sur
veyor Stoner arrived here to-day and told

ment surveyors is now at work in the
mountains back of Nordhoff Cooper is
cooking for the party. Last Thursday he
was riding leisurely along the trail when
suddenly he encountered the three griz-
zlies, all alert on their hind legs. The
trio were only thirty feet away. Cooper
jumped to the ground and tied his horse
to nearby tree. He had only eight
cartridges in his rifle. The moment the
mother bear sighted Cooper she made a
rush for him. Cooper sent bullet crash
ing through her head, following this shot
up with two Others which satisfied him
of her death.
The cubs yearned to decamp, but the
cook could not overlook the chance to OBJ
tain some tender bear steaks By the time
he had killed one of them the other had
made a good start. and Cooper had ex-
hausted his supply of cartridges. Nothing
daunted, he started after the cub. His
rifle was broken over the cubs head with
out effect. Then Cooper drew his knife
and slashed at the animals throat Soon
the last of the bear trio lay at his feet
The female bear weighed more than 1000
pounds, while the cubs weighed 400 pounds
each.

WoMAN'S DEATH DUE
TO A PECULIAR CAUSE
Patient Ruptures Her Oesophagus
During an Attac-- of Acute
Nausea.


LOS ANGELES, Dec. 21.-The death Of
jeanette Phillips in the Good Samaritan
Hospital on Thursday as a result of run
ture or the. oesophagus brings to light
one OF the most remarkable fatalities
known to medical science. The primary.
though indirect, cause of death was acute
ana prolonged nausea, following the ad-
mln1stration of anesthetic prior to an
operation performed last Sunday. The
next day her physical condition was good.
but later she began to vomit and sank
steadily until the time Of her death. re-
fusing all food and continuing to suffer
violent contractions of the stomach. An
autopsy showed that the oesophagus had
been ruptured just above the diaphragm
allowing foreign matter from the stom-
ach to flow into the left pleural cavity
when forced up by contraction This
caused congestion of the left lung and
the absorption of foreign matter into the
circulatory system, which is believed to
have caused blood poisoning.
Il have never before heard of a case
where death ensued under such circum-
stances, said the attending physician to-
day. "The oesophagus may be ruptured
by aneurism, malignant disease the de
structive action of mineral acids or by
the swallowing of a fish bone, but a rup-
ture due to vomiting, I believe, is unpre-
cedented."
Miss Phillips came to Los Angeles from
Denver early this year. Her father was
superintendent Of the White Breast Coal
and Fuel Company of Ottumwa, Iowa. 1t
is said that Miss Phillips was married in
Denver before coming to this city and
that marital troubles caused a separation.

MORTENSEN is HELD
ON SUSPICION OF MURDER
Evidence That He Is the Assassin of
Secretary Hay Of the Pacific
Lumber Company.

SALT LAKE, Utah, Dec. 21.-Although
no formal complaint has yet been issued
charging Peter Mortensen, the contractor
with the murder of James R. Hay secre-
tary of the Pacific Lumber Company
whose body was found buried in a shallow
grave in the southern outskirts Of this city
Wednesday morning, the police are be-
coming more and more convinced that
Mortensen, even if he did not commit the
crime himself, was connected with 1t In
some manner. Mortensen was arrested
Wednesday, and since that time has been
kept a close prisoner in the City Jail. He
has steadily maintained his innocence and
denies all knowledge Of the murder.
On the day Of his arrest the police made
a thorough examination of Mortensen's s
house for the purpose of securing incrim-
mating evidence. Hidden behind a book
case, they found what they claimed at
the time was an old-fashioned revolver.
Two chambers were empty To-day it de-
veloped that the pistol is modern weap-
on and that it's caliber practically CORE
spends with the bullet found in the dead
mans head.
Nothing has yet been found Of the miss
ing $3S00 in gold which Mortensen claims
he paid over to Hay on Monday night for
the purposes of canceling his Indebtedness

MASO'5 FRIENDS
ARE INDIGNANT
They VIII Refuse to Par
ticipate in Cuban
Elections.
Governor-General Woods De-
cision Ruff1es the
Politicians.

HAVANA. Dec. 21.-The supporters Of
General AIaso in his candidacy for the
Presidency of the republic have decided
to take no part in the coming elections
fixed for December 81. All the candidates
of the party have withdrawn, and the
Maso members of the provincial boards
have been requested to resign. These
steps were decided upon after the receipt
of letter from Governor General Wood,
refusing to grant the party representation
on the Board Of Scrutiny or an extern
sion of time in which to modify the vot-
ing list.
At meeting Of the party leaders a res
olution was adopted declaring that 'the
Central Board is a coalition of partisans,
and that General Maso, after exhausting
every means to insure impartiality, recti-
tude and justice at the coming elections,
has become convinced that neither in Off
cial circles in the United States nor in
Cuba does the intention exist to see that
the elections are carried out with suffi-
cient legality to reflect the real wish of
the Cubans, who are desirous Of indie
pendence and anxious to freely elect their
first constitutional Government"
1t was voted to inform Secretary Root
Of the decision arrived at and also to pub
lish a manifesto to the country La Lu-
cha applauds the withdrawal of the Maso
candidates, and says that without the
guarantees asked from Secretary Root
every one knows that the election will be
a Justification of the will of the majority.
THE Maso coalition" says La Lucha,
should not lend themselves to the be-
trayal of the public will, and should not
cooperate in policy which tends to lay
the foundation of the republic on gi-
gantic fraud
Besides the so-calIed Conservatives with
him, Maso is said to have strong follow
ing among the blacks in the country dis
tricts, and it is intimated in Havana that
this element may not take kindly to the
present condition of things and may cause
trouble.
The Discussion, the Palma organ, as
serts that the withdrawal Of Maso's sup
porters is due to the fact that they are a
hopeless minority and the candidates
have no chance of being elected.

CALIFORNIA; CLIMATE.

The climatic conditions Of California
when closely considered, upset completely
all preconceived notions of the relations
between latitude and temperature The
latitude of San Diego, the southern cIty
of the State, is about that Of Charleston
S. c., while Los Angeles lies a little
farther south than Memphis, Tenn. The
northern line of California is on nearly
the same parallel with Boston, Mass.
From these facts it might be thought
that, although Southern California has a
sub-tropical climate, adapted to the
growth of the palm and Of citrus fruits
the northern part of the State must have
the rigorous winters Of the North Atlantis
upper Mississippi. This is. however, very
far from being the case.
Four hundred miles north Of Los Ange-
les, and five hundred north Of San DIEGO
the summers are warmer and the winters
not much more severe than in these cities
In many of the northern valleys the palm
fig and olive find a congenial home. while
the orange and lemon reach their perfec-
tion, ripening from four to six weeks
earlier than In the southern counties

EXTENT OF STATE.
Some Idea of Vastness of Domain
Tributary to Golden Gate.


California occupies on the Pacific Slope
a belt Of land about two hundred miles
wide, extending in latitude from near the
southern line of South Carolina to the
southern line of Massachusetts. To make
up it's area from corresponding Atlantic
States there must be added to Connecti-
cut, Rhode Island, New Jersey, Delaware,
Maryland, Virginia, North and South Car
olina, about 10000 square miles from New
York and Pennsylvania. Laid off in the
Mississippi Valley, on the western shore
Of the river, it takes a small strip from
Louisiana and embraces the whole of
Arkansas, Missouri and Iowa In the
great San Joaquin Valley there is abund-
ant room for New Hampshire, Vermont
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti-
cut and the half Of Maine. It is only by
such comparisons as these that the size
of the State and its peculiar advantages
Of location can be appreciated, and it is
only by considering these and it's climatic
features that any correct judgment can be
formed of its possible or probable future
When its fertile hills and broad valleys
shall TEEN with a population as dense as
that on the Eastern coast, and when its
millions of acres of arabic land shall be
brought under culture, occupied by an in
telligent, Industrious, thrifty people, it
must become one of the greatest factors
in this our great sisterhood Of States.

WIFE LEAVES
TRUANT SPOUSE
Mrs. Mabel Johnson Of
New York Obtains
a Divorce.
Husband Recently Figured
in a Sensational
Escapade.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Mrs. Mabel Van
Rensselaer, johnson. prominent in the ex-
elusive social circles of New York, has
been granted a divorce from her hus-
band, the Rev. James LIE Baron Johnson,
who eloped with Miss Mary Hoffman,
daughter of Southland Hoffman of San
Francisco. The case has been conducted
with great secrecy, all parties to the suit
desiring to avoid publicity.
1t was learned by The Call correspond
ent to-day that a referee was appointed,
and he has for several weeks been tax
ing testimony. The lawyers interested in
the case refuse to confirm or deny the
fact of a divorce decree signed by Judge
Scott of the State Supreme Court, but
there is no doubt that such decree has
been signed. For several months there
have been rumors of divorce proceedings,
but no confirmation of definite action
could be obtained until to-day. It is un-
derstood that when the papers were
served on the Rev. Mr.. Johnson he en-
tered a denial of the charges made and
Charles w. West was appointed referee.
His report that Mrs. Johnson's charges
against her husband were substantiated
by testimony was confirmed by Judge
Scott and all the testimony was ordered
sealed. Thus Miss Hoffman's name was
not disclosed.
James c. Carter represented Mrs.
Johnson and the husband was defended
by William c. Cammann The where
abouts of johnson and Miss HOFFMAN is
not known, or if known will not be di-
Vulged. After their departure for Europe
and the stories of their conduct aboard
an Atlantic steamship came rumor from
Italy to the effect that they had quar-
relied and separated, Later came a rumor
from San Francisco that they had been
married. This rumor of marriage was
shown to be premature at least, for at
this time there had been no divorce pro
ceedings Instituted by Mrs. Johnson.
