To the memory of Mrs. Renna
Carson. (nee Dcmbo) born March
10. 1882, and died March 10, 1904.
being % years and 9 days old.
Sister Carson died as most
people die, just as she lived.
She was a Christian in life and
therefore died in the faith of the
Lori Jesus Christ. Among her
last words were, II am ready to
go" No can be ready to go
without that faith that brings
Jesus close enough to give COM
fort in death. When one IS ready
to go is evidence that there Is no
earthly pleasure that charms
them in q dying hour. Then let
me say to the sorrowing ones,
dry up your tears and sorrow no
more. But keep your eyes on
Sister Renna's Christ and always
do His biddings and you will
meet her in the realms of eternal
bliss.

A Statement.

Editor Southern Sentinel:
At the request of Mr.. r. P.
Parker, of ward 2, in the parish
of Winn, La, will state that he
informs me that on election day
lin that ward, there were circulat-
ed report against him to the
effect that ibis testimony had
been impeached in a certain
cause tried in our District Court,
and that the same could be veri-
fed if any one would make APP
plication to my Office.
Iwish to state most positively
| and cmphatically that no such
lathing can be verified at my
Office or elsewhere. If Mr..
Parker's testimony was ever
limpeached anywhere. | know not
lof it, and / am sure that it was
not done in tho case at issue.
l have always considered Mr..
Parker an upright, honest gem
ltleman, and have known him
lsincc his earliest boyhood.
Respectfully,

ELECTRIC CARS
in OPERATION
Point Richmond Now Boasts
of an Up-tO-Date and
Complete Street Railroad
WILL CONNECT OAKLAND
Application Is Made for a
Franchise to the Lines
of Other Alameda Cities

POINT RICHMOND. July 6.-Point
Richmond now has a fully equipped
electric street railroad service, which
was put into operation to-day for the
first time. 1t also developed yesterday
that the new system will soon connect
this city with Oakland, and 1t is pos
sible that there will be a line run to
the interior OF this county.
The first regular cars were run over
the tracks between the Standard Oil
Works and the business center OF town
to-day. The cars are comfortable and
the service gives Point Richmond what
it has long needed, rapid and frequent
communication between the various
manufacturing centers in this rapidly
growing neighborhood. At present the
cars only run from the oil works to
the center Of town, owing to a disa-
greement between the electric company
and the Santa Fe over the crossing.
The track Is laid to the Southern Pa
cific station and as soon as the cross
ing matter is settled cars will be run
to that point.
An application was made by the
Railroad, which is the corporate name
of the new system, to the Contra Costa
Board Of Supervisors yesterday for two
franchises to the Alameda County line,
one running through Siege and the
other paralleIing the line Of the Santa
Fe into Oakland. At the Alameda
County line the Richmond system will
connect with the cars Of the Oakland
Transit Company and give frequent
and rapid service into Oakland.
There are rumors that this system
will be extended into other parts Of
Contra Costa County.

NO DESIGNS ON TIBET.

LONDON, July e.-The Associated
Press learns from high British source
that exchanges Of views are taking
place between America and Great Brit
ain with respect to Tibet. Being a de-
tendency Of China, the fate of Tibet
is Of considerable Importance, espe-
cially to America, not that Americans
have interests in value in that coun-
try, but because Of it's acquisition by
any power would mean violation of
the principle of integrity of China,
which is the keynote Of Secretary
Hays Far Eastern policy to which
Great Britain has given adherence.
Mr.. Hay therefore has watched with
the closest attention the British treat
ment of the Tibetan question, and, it
is believed, through Embassador
Choate, has delicately presented the
possible bearing of the British military
procedure on Chinese integrity. 1t is
understood that the British Govern
ment frankly disavowed any ulterior
purpose regarding Tibetan territory.
reiterating that it has no intention to
permanently occupy Tibet and that
Great Britain's motives are those al
ready proclaimed to the whole world.
In view of this declaration the British
Government announced that Brigadier
General McDonald's expedition is ex-
pected to retire as soon as the purpose
for which it was organized has been
achieved.

VENTURA, July 6.-The steamer
Bonita arrived here from San Fran
cisco and after discharging the mer-
chandise consigned to this city the
captain allowed the crew to take in
the sights. The merry sailors cleared
out and soon were enraptured by
Ventura's alluring charms, natural
and artificial. particularly the am
Der liquid which browns sorrow.
Affairs shaped a course down Main
street, two points off the Ana
Cava Hotel making port IN one
of the saloons with q slight list to
starboard, where they spliced the main
brace repeatedly and lost their bear
ings.
Two lads started for the steamer
finally and reached the end OF the dock.
In attempting to board the Bonita one
Of the party fell off the wharf. Five
sailors jumped after him and all
braved the surf to save their comrade.
Fortunately several persons were fish,
ing on the wharf and a serious calam-
ity was averted. The sailors were pulled
out and are now on their way to San
Francisco slowed in their hunks in the
Bonita's forecastle.

NEW STYLE DREDGER TO

Beds May Be Drained of All
Precious Metals.
TACOMA, Wash, July "a new
dredger of a peculiar style has been
constructed and shipped to Haines,
Alaska, by the Bachman Dredging
Company Of Pasadena The dredger
is to be used on Chilkat River, where
the Chilkat Indians have lived and
fished for generations. 1t is claimed
that it solves the problem of bringing
to the surface every particle Of gran
ular material coming within reach Of
Its suction pipes. All pockets or cavi-
ties holding precious metal will be
quickly emptied. Sand and gravel are
removed by buckets without any in
jury to the plungers. At any time a
hydraulic giant can be attached to the
discharge pipe for sluicing purposes.
With the power Of such a machine
whole mountains can almost be torn
away, besides turning the bottoms of
rivers upside down. The owners of the
oredger are business men. Tests made
on the shore Of the Sound were highly
successful. 1t is intended to duplicate
this dredger for use in California

SKULL TRAMPLED BY HIS TEAM
Dan Lynch, Going Home From Atkin-

Accident.

Atkinson, Neb, April Especial to
The News: A man named Dan Lynch
of Inez, Neb., was badly kicked by a
team of horses that he had recently
purchased and which were newly
broken to harness. He stopped at
the home of George Aiken on his way
home from Atkinson at noon and as
he passed in to feed them, the horses
viciously trampled him and cut the
scalp open from the front of his head
to the back, slicing open a cash of
ten inches or more. Mr.. Aiken ran
in behind the team and pulled the man
out from beneath the horses feet A
few minutes more would have left
Mr.. Lynch dead as the animals grew
wild in their frenzy. DR.. Sturdevant
was called by telephone to the bed
side of the injured man and after
some hours of work had him in as
good condition as could be expected.
He is doing as well as could be hoped
but his wounds may yet prove fatal.

Norfolk friends have been notified
of the death of Frank, the baby son

ter the little boy had suffered for two

The soft snow and the strong wind
performed one service that was ap-
preciated. The north and west sides
of the buildings received a triple plat
ing of ice and snow that hermetical-
ly sealed all cracks and crevces to
the exclusion of the nipping blasts
After storm of that character it
is surprising that the temperature
was not further reduced. The mer

cold would not have been uncomfort-

Not a cloud was in the way of the
sun as it rose this morning and the
warmth that was developed penetrat-
ed the north breeze sufficiently to be
gin chipping the ice and the snow
from protected places early in the
day. With the going down of the
wind the last of the snow and ice will
be promptly removed.
