Carry Lunches.

When is a belt not a belt? This intel ligent conundrum was solved last night by the Montgomery Street Railroad Company. The answer to the abstruse problem is that belt ceases to be a belt when it becomes obstructed.
 A motor car left the rails If the belt line at Mobile Street about o'clock, and up to o'clock it was. still foundering about in the mud and persons who de- sired to reach their homes on the belt line beyond Mobile Street by way of the cars were thwarted in their ambition.

 Three cars are employed on the pels line and when forty-f1ve minutes had passed these three cars were strung out on Mildred Street near Mobile Street and the intelligent motormen and conductors held a sort of military consultation. It was finally decided that since the dere- lict car would not move and could not be moved. the two good" cars shoulo be sent back to town. ~ s'"

Eternal Persistency and Progressive
 Evolution of Each Ego.

San Francisco Chronicle.
 San Francisco, having already become familiar with theosophy. the mystic re
 igion of Brahma and Buddha, and with the lofty philosophy of the Vedantan
 Swamis it only remained to learn of Jainism, perhaps the sanest and most
 ideal of all the East Indian religions.
 Yesterday. before large audience in the
 rooms of the Laurel Hall Club, 1620 Cali
 fornia Street. Jainism made it's first bow
 to the people. of California, the lecturer
 being Prof. Emlyn Ls'vys, until recently
 a resident of London. Prof. Lewys is a
 scholar of striking personality and the oily English-speaking authority on this most ancient of religions.
 Jainism as explained by the speaker, is
 the protestanism of India. as opposed 70 the Vedas, Bramanism and the soul paralyzing caste system. It aims at the perfection of character, not through faith
 but through correct conduct and syste-
 matic intellectual activity or concentra-
 tion as opposed to the Yogi system of
 intellectual vacuity. The speaker said;
 If a religion may be known by It's
 fruits what shall we say Of this o one' which though now numbering ZOOu,ooO Vo- tarfes and dating its origin long prior to
 the entrance of the Aryans into India in prehistoric times. has never yet pro duced a murderer? Though regardlne kinship as the greatest injustice still the business of India. They never eat meat; and the monks often carry brooms ana
 sweep the paths to avoid crushing the insects. They believe in the advancement of women, in reincarnation and the eternal persistency and progressive evolution of each ego and hold that the atrocities ot | the soul and intellect such as sense | knowledge, .clairvoyance, telepathy, the emotions the physical constitution and
 the power to achieve are all under the the | ohscuration of Karma, which to the Iain is a substance. The object of their study and effort is to shake this Karmic | clog out and to ltberate the soul by Nl- l brating in a certain way.

 such iddhls aS banevolence, charity, or

WENT TO SEE RUSSELL
FORMER GOVERNOR JOHNSTON
 VISITS MOBILE.
Politicians Think His Object Was to Induce the Colonel to Join Forces With the Shelley-Johnston
 Combination.

The visit of former Governor Johnston to Mot.iie Friday and his entertainment while there by Colonel E. l.. Russell, General Counsel of the Mobile and ohio Railroad Company, Is regarded in Mont gomery as being of interesting politlcal significance. It IS openly suggested py public men, who are well informed upon the political situation. that Governor Johnston went to Mobile to interest Coio- mel Russell in the forthcoming campaign of the anti-ratificationists and prooaply to tender to Colonel Russell the Federal Senatership portfolio of the Shelley-John- ston-Stallings cabinet.
 Officials at the State Capitol yesterday said there was little doubt that Goverhor Johnston went to Mobile on political business and that his entertainment by Colonel Russell undoubtedly signified that there was still political affinity between the former Governor and Colonel Russell
 Tt seems to me- said one public man, "that Democrats can well afford to let Governor Johnston and his friends alone. They kicked clean out of the party traces on the question of ratifying the new Constitution and we have nothing to gain by treating with them. ] have great respect for Colonel Russell and Il would give me regret to see him follo" off the standardization combination. It Is well known Dy the persohei tleiIue of Colonel Russell that he has an amoi- ton to go to the United States senate but he has within the recent past de- clared that he would not be a candidate | against Senator Pettus. + "IJnder certain political conditions, |! said this public man. it might De worth the while of Colonel Russell to be m favor with Governor Johnston and his friends. ,BK& Democrats will ascertain before those conditions arise on which
 side of, the, political fence Colonel Rus sell is marching"
