After we had been out about ten days
he was taken very sick He became so
sick he could not sit upon his horse, but
we had to ride on; there was no place to
stop. He would ride along a little while,
swaying like a drunken man. Then he
would fall off. We would put him back
upon his mule and try to hold him there.
Then he would again fall off. If he died,
he would have to die, that was all.
What will become of these young men
and women about the halfway churches
if we do not save them? They will spir-
itually die. Instead of being brought to
the feet of the Master they will drift out
and many of them will become gamblers
and debauchees and drunkards and out
casts Many of them will land up in the
degradation of the sums. Many of them
aye, perhaps. most of thenl-will be lost
forever. The work of the downtown
churches is important. The work of the
boz leyard church is also important

given to any church to do is given to the

in the dark hours of the night one of the
officers called to his men as he said:
Boys, lookl We are tired, but look at
those nurses-those women far out TO Tie

They have been working just as bard as
we. Let continue to be as faithful as

No fearing. no Loubting thy soldiers

When here stands his country and yonder

One look at the bright sun, one prayer to

Then on. as the young lion bounds on Els

plain;
We come back in glor or come not again.

of among the unfortunates who are max

going down.
What Will Happen.
Well" says some one to me. suppose
you do not look after these halfway
churches then what will happen?' | will
tell you by recitins to you a simple in
cident which occurred during one of my
travels. We were riding over the hills of
Palestine. At one of the villages we en-
tered the word was passed around, Some
Americans are here; they can cure us"
Then, just as in oden times. these people
brought to me their sick. But l cannot
cure them" I said Il am no doctor"
Then l turned to my dragoman and said:
What becomes of the sick people when
they cannot find doctor? oh" he an
swered nonchalantly "of course they die
that is all; they die" How do they die =?
The same as ore of my mnleteers nearly
died when going through the heavy sand.

PRESENT BRIDE Is 60
Prominent Livermore Capt.
talist and Mrs. Jane Rogers
of Sacramento Are United

OAKLAND, June 10.-William r. Thom-
as, aged 20 years, and Jane P. Rogers, 90,
were married at Livermore tonight. 1t
is largely through the request of Mr..
Thomas first wife that he is to give his
name to Mrs. Rogers. though they were
children together in Wales.
Thomas and his present bride left the
mountains and the land of Glendowers
and came TO California about the same
time and landed here in 1874. They were
both married, but the families were great
friends and their friendship has lasted to
the present time About three years ago
Mrs. Rogers lost her husband, and short
ly afterward Mrs. Thomas died. Thomas
said this morning while securing his mar
riage license:
My wife wanted me to promise that /
would keep the home bright and cheerful
and that I would ask Mrs Rogers to
take her place beside me. 1 could not
promise her that at the time, but that
was nearly three years ago. We have
both been lonesome in our homes, and to-
day Mrs. Rogers will come from Sacra-
mento and we will be married tonight"
Thomas is a well-known resident of
Livermore, where he owns considerable
property and lives on the income. While
time has grizzled his hair and beard, he
states that his heart is still young, and
that while both will remember the de-
parted ones their memories and friend
ships will only serve to tie them closer
together.

HANGS HIMSELF
IN THE HILLS
Body of Despondent Man
Is Found at Ropes End
by Boy Picking Berries
NOTE EXPLAINS SUICIDE
Edwin Mussack, Without
Work, Money, Friends or
Family, Decides to End ALI

BERKELEY. June 1o.-The dead
body Of Edwin Mussack was found
hanging from a lone tree on the side OF
the quarry near La Iona Park in North
Berkeley to-day by Robert Butler. and
removed 20 the morgue. Pinned to
Mussack's coat was a paper. on which
had been written in ink the following
words:
Ny name is Edwin Mussack. 1 am
about seven years in this country, but
always had misfortune. Now 1 have
10 money, could not get any work and
have neither relatives nor friends. That
is why commit suicide. God help me.
Amen"
Mussack apparently was an ordinary
laborer. about 80 years old. His pock-
cts contained no v3lluables, nor any
thing TO indicate where his residence
had been. Life had been extinct for
several days when the corpse was dis
covered. The man bent on suicide
chose a lonely spot for his action, the
quarry where he died being apart from
inhabited portions of Berkeley. Mus
sack found a powder keg, upon which
he stool, with Il rope tied tightly about
his neck, and when he kicked the keg
over, strangulation resulted, and death
very soon after.
Robert Butler, a lad. who was pick
ing blackberries on the hillside by the
quarry, saw the hanging body at noon
to-day, and a mans hat. with a bunch
OF faded poppies on a rock near by. He
telephoned the facts to Deputy Coroner
Streightif, who took charge of the
corpse.

MARQUIS OF, QUEENSBERRY
ASKS LICENSE FOR PISTOL
He Says That His Life Is Constantly
Endangered by the Reckless
Motorists.

LONDON, June 10.-The Marquis of
Queensberry is in such terror of auto
mobiles that he made formal inquiry at
the West London Police Court the other
day whether he could obtain a license
for gun or pistol in order TO protect him
self from the deadly onsIaughts of auto
mobile fiends, who render the continu-
ance of life in the Hammersmith road
very doubtful affair.
Lord Queensberry has occasion to
cross that thoroughfare several times
daily. and the account he gave of his
hairbreadth escapes from death by auto
mobiles was almost as remarkable as
his application. Twice in the last ten
days his removed to another world by
automobiles has been a question of an
inch.
The family nurse, too. goes in such
terror of automobiles that she abso-
lutely declines to take the respon-
sibility of conveying the Marquis chill
dren across the Hammersmith road. so
that he himself is compelled TO tax
the children to the park.
The magistrate. Mr.. Lane, smiled
kindly and said he feared if the Mar
quis carried a loaded gun about he
might find himself in difficulties. but If
he could get license he was at per-
feet liberty to carry a revolver. He did
not say. however, that the Marquis was
at liberty to shoot automobilists. i,
DO not imagine for a moment" said
the Marquis afterward, that 1 am
against all motorists. On the contrary.
/ am an ardent motorist myself, but as
man OF peace 1 humbly advance the
principle that even the notorist should
live and let live. l have even been in
terested in motor car manufacturing.
SO that / have little desire to kill the
industry. What / say is people who
tear about regardless of the mere
pedestrians limb and life are them
selves doing their best to kill the trade.
If they continue at the present rate the
enrased public will put a stop to
motoring altogether.
Il have never harbored murderous
instincts against any one but the motor
fiend. AS 1t is / come home every day
with my heart in my mouth lest one
of my children should have been killed
by these road hogs.
IF l went out with a sword and
hacked off the heads of a few people
my career would be short, but this par
ticular class of motorists Is apparently
at liberty to indulge in more or less
wholesale murder with impunity."

HILL PLAYS TENNIS
IN CLEVER STYLE
Defeats DR.. McChesney in a
Three-Set Match at Cali
fOrnia Club.

Despite the fact that many of the
tennis players are out of town for the
summer, the courts of the California
Club were by no means deserted yes
terday afternoon. Some good matches
were played, the best of which was a
singles between DR.. George McChesney
and DR.. Harold Hill. The latter was in
rare form and beat McChesney in a
three-set match. Hill was effective at
the net and found his opponents speedy
drives easy to handle. The match was
fast from start to finish. The score
was 6-1, 3-6, GA. Harold Gabriel and
Melville Long also furnished a close
and interesting match in singles. Ga
briel proved trifie too strong for his
which were close.
Herbert Long played fast tennis
when he won three straight sets from
3. +. Nourse. The latter's steady game
did not prove effective against Long,
who drove past his opponent at WILL
Nourse played a good uphill game in
the second set, but Long unfinished
him.
Among the lower class men Major
Ducat of the Preside carried off the
honors. He took William Murphy, the
fourth class champion, into camp in
clever style. The major won by a
small margin, taking three sets out OF
five.
w. G. Knowlton had an off day,
which accounts in a measure for the
poor showing he made against George
Cutter. Knowlton won only one game
in the first two sets. He almost won
the third set.
Only one match was played in
doubles. The contestants were DR..
Younger and Moulten Warner and DR..
Lovegrove and w. G. Knowlton. The
former won two sets out of three.
Warner played the cleverest game of
the four and was accorded good sup
port by his partner. The team work of
the losers was not as good as usual

DAMAGES ASKED FOR LOSS
of A woMAN's SOCIETY
Slander Case Involving Alleged De-
famation of Character Before the
House of Lords.

LONDON, June 10-The preliminary
skirmish in the action in which Walter
Baron Won Radeck is suing Captain SOM
erset Saunderson Of his Majesty's army
for damages by reason Of defamation OF
character has come to conclusion In
the House of Lords.
Their lordships upheld the decisions OF
the master, the Judge in chambers, and
the Court of Appeal, and ordered the de-
fendant to answer certain interrogarories
administered to him by the plaintiff
Montague Lush, X. C.. appearing Tor
Captain Saunderson, said the action was
one for slander. the defendant having
made a statement concerning the Baron
to certain woman mentioned In the
statement of claim. and thereby caused
him, the plaintiff, the loss Of her society
and hospitality, and in consequence spe-
cial damage. The woman in the case IS
Mrs. Charles Wilson
The slander complained Of was the ut
terance of the following words:
HE Is not at all a desirable man to
know. He has received money from wo-
men and / have myself seen a check he
had from one woman, and the amount,
/ believe, was &S0O0.
This, the Baron said. meant that he was
disreputable, immoral and dishonorable
person and not fitted for decent society.
The captain, in his defense. said that
the words did not bear the alleged or any
defamatory meaning. that the pIaintin
had not suffered any damage thereby.
that the words were not actionable with
out proof of special damage, the alleged
special damage being too remote. and
that. if the words were spoken or pub
lished. it was done by the defendant bona.
fide, without malice and on a privileged
occasion.
With regard TO privilege. the facts were.
in short. that the plaintiff had come over
to England from Germany, and had be-
come acquainted with the lady. who was
an intimate friend OF Captain Saunderson.
and had invited her and her daughter
and friend. whom she might invite, to
dine with him at his fat.
The LADY invited the CeIendant. and on
June H. 1904. prior to the date Of the din
ner, he spoke the words complained of.
but. as he alleged. in good faith. without
malice. and in the belief that they were
true, doing so because both he and the
lady mad common interest In knowing
what were the character and reputation
and social standing of the PLAINTIFF before
they availed themselves OF his invitation
and became on intimate terms with him.
