of March or first of April of the same year. There he wrought miracles of which we nave no record, drove out @ lot of traders from one temple, had a night ln- terview with Nicodemus, prom inent member of the great San hedrin, the supreme court of the Jewish nation. After this he spent some time teaching, hls disciples baptizing in Judea.
 There arose a sharp dlsputa- tion between the disciples of John and the Jews about John s ordinance of baptism as purify ing and that of Jesus and on reference of the question to John he frankly told them that Jesus whose forerunner he was must increase, while he (John) must decrease. John was soon after arrested and put into the prison of Machaerus. Jesus then re- turned to Galilee, going through Samaria and saving woman of Sychar and many others.
 With headquarters in Nazareth Jesus pursued his work, prob- ably accompanied by his discip- les. A notable miracle of heal ing a prominent mans son 25 miles away in Capernaum IS re- corded in full.
 While teaching in the Syna- gogue in Nazareth and making public affirmation of his having been anointed of God to preach the gospel, his own people were so offended that they endeaVored to kill him by throwing him over a precipice. The result was that Jesus escaped from their rage and went over to Capernaum and fixed his home there. So much for the intervening events. Fully year and probably some- what more has elapsed since his batism.
 The lesson tells us that he was i out by the Sea of Galilee, a sea made forever sacred by his resi- dence by it and by his teachings and miracles NEAR it, ON 1t and IN it.
 It was early in the morning, probably in the month of March, l A. D. 29. As usual, a great throng pressed about him = Sim on's boat was tied up near by and Simon and other fishermen were washing their nets, wearied and disappointed from an all night effort and no fishes.
 Jesus stepped on Simon's boat; few pushes of the oar by Simon moved the boat out some feet from the shore. From this fish erman's pulpit Jesus preached to the sea of faces that looked down upon him from the shore. The sermon ended, he requested Simon to thrust out to the deep water and let down his net. Simon protested that he had let it down again and again all night long, yet he obeyed. The result was a draught of fishes so great that his net was like to break. By the aid of other fish, ermen and at great risk of sink ing their boats a perfectly enor- nous load or nSneS was brought ashore. Peter and James and John and all others could not fittingly express their a tonish- ment. Peter found himself upon his knees, before the son of God confessing his sinfulness.
 7. Jesus quiets his fear and sets him apart as a fisher of men. "Henceforth thou shalt catch men,"
 The one great lesson that our Savior sought to impress in this miracle is clear HOW TO CATCH

CHRISTMASTIDE HON0RED
IN CROWN CITY CHURCHES
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
PASADENA, Dec. 23.-The Crown
City churches were filled this afternoon
with Christmastide. Practically every
one Of the over half-hundred churches
had special services appropriate to the
occasion and season. Among the more
elaborate services were those at the
First Methodist, Episcopal. First
Friends, First Baptist, First Christian,
Lake Avenue Congregational. First
.Congregatfonal and First Presbyterian
churches.
In the evening the service at the First
Baptist church was considerable of a
novelty. The entire service was in song
and the songs were, of course, of a
Christmas nature.
At The First Presbyterian church the
Christmas cantata, "The Nativity"
was sung in the evening, the piece be-
ing produced under the direction of
Leader w. T.. Mason.
In most of the churches outside sing
ers assisted the regular choir members
i'm rendering the special music, and in
one or two instances singers from Los
Angeles came over to help out in the
good work.

HEAVY BETTORS
HAVE TROUBLE
MUST TAKE SHORT PRICES
WHEN PLUNGING
Owners at New Orleans Obliged t.
Meet Odds of to in Order
to Back Their En-
tries

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 24.-Burlew
& O'Neill, though they still head the
list of winning owners here and Will
undoubtedly maintain their position at
the top of the heap through the sea-
son, are beginning to experience one
of the difficulties which invariably ac-
company racing success, especially of
stables owned by men who bet we'll
on their horses.
The big bettor must always take a
false price or else let his horses run
unbacked. This was driven home to
them recently when the best they
could get was 1 to 2 against their
entry in the Test stakes at City park,
when their chances would more fairly
have been represented by a quotation
of about to g Correspondingly, of
course, the price against Charlie East
man, the winner, was falsely long.
Fantastic, the best of the B. & O..
trio, and Charlie Eastman both made
their first starts of the current season
in the same race, and at the same
weight difference as existed in the
Test stakes Both were a trifie short,
but Charlie Eastman caught and beat
Fantastic out in the closing strides.
Both horses have since shown COM
paratively the same improvement and
even on a fast track 1t looked as
though the two should have been
about even up in Saturdays betting,
yet the Burlew entry was to and
the Gardner horse to l.
Mars Cassidy is beginning to feel
one of the keenest joys Of the breeder.
Sentimentally a breeder is supposed
to achieve the greatest content when
his farm turns out nicely built young
sters with sufficient speed to win
races, but the capsheaf of this con-
tentment is the ability to sell the
aforesaid nicely built youngsters for a
we'll built check.
A couple of years ago Colonel Cas-
sidy bred a couple of trotters and these
trotters are now old enough to know
what is expected of them. They have
been rising to the occasion in their
private trials and as a result bidders
have appeared and Cassidy went to
Memphis to dicker with some horse
men who have been flirting with him
on the subject of a sale.
w. R. Gerst has decided to retire
his jumper, Sam Hoffheimer, for the
season, and he will be shipped to Cum
berland park, Nashville, some day
this week to go into winter quarters.
1t is the intention of Mr.. Gerst to enter
Sam Hoffheimer in all the big jumping
stakes in the east next season. Sam
Hoffheimer together with half dozen
other of Gerst's cross country horses.
will be shipped to Belmont park next
spring and raced in that section
throughout the season.

WOMEN WILL
ATTEND BATTLE
T0NOPAH FAIR SEX PREPARE
TO WITNESS CONTEST
GoldHeld Affair Set a Precedent, and
Mining Folk See No Reason Why
Women Should Not See Cans
and Herman Fight
Special to The Herald.

Special to The Herald.
TONOPAH, New, Dec. 29.-The at
tendance of women at the Gans-Her-
man contest here on New Years day
promises to be a feature. At Goldfeld
last summer when Cans and Nelson
battled for forty-two long rounds there
were many women present, but not as
large a number as would have been on
hand had the precedent of propriety
been established. 1t is a well known
fact that many women who would nave
liked to have seen the fight remained
away for fear of comment being made
on their presence at the ringside.
The Goldfeld affair completely swept
away this fear when it was seen that
the women were accorded all the pro-
lection that is given in the best theaters
i'm the country and that the women who
did attend lost none of their social
standing. This fact was commented on
to a large extent Immediately after the
Goldfeld fight. At the ringside sat
wives, sisters and friends of the most
prominent men in Nevada.
They saw the fight, and after it was
over not word was to be heard
against them. The timid ones who re-
mained away from the fight realized
fears, and from present indications
every woman in Southern Nevada who
has any desire to see Cans and Her.
man mix it will be on hand without
fear or trembling lest their regulations
suffer.
or course this is a condition that
could obtain only in a mining camp
where women are treated with all the
Difference in the world, but at the same
time are placed on practically the same
footing as men. In the larger cities
where the lines are so sharply drawn
a woman of standing would hesitate to
occupy a seat at a prize fight, but out
here in the desert, where things are
judged from different angles, it is con-
sidered quite proper
The Goldfield fight has set a precedent
along these lines and there will be no
timidity among the women when it
comes to seeing the fight. This means
that the fairer sex will be represented
when the two lightweights hook up. A
special arrangement for tickets has
been made and a box office opened in
one of the local stationery saores.
Already over a hundred tickets have
been sold to women, and unless all
signs fail there will be a profusion of
bright gowns and millinery when the
little Hebrew and the colored man con-
test for the title.

UNlVERSALISTS PRAISE
IN BEAUTIFUL SERVICE

PASADENA, Dec. 23.-One Of the
most elaborate musical programs rem
dered by a church musical organization
was that given this afternoon at the
First Universalist church by the choir
of that denomination, assisted by sew
eral singers not regularly members or
the choir It was in reality a specia
Christmas service, with the addition of
exceptionally fine music.
Those taking part in the song service
were Miss Louise Grise, Miss Florence

Craft, Miss Julia w. Roberts, organisti
J. ]. Helder, choir director; f. w. sea-

are the regular members of the Univer-

Pastor stephen G. Emerson delivered
a brief Christmas talk i'm the middle OF
the program, but aside from this the
service was strictly musical and was
very largely attended.

BUCKS WRONG CONDUCTOR
Electric Car Man Pounds Up Passen-
ger and Then Takes Victim to
Hospital for Repairs
Special to The Herald.


PASADENA, Dec. 23.-Joe Buck was
a very much surprised man this after
noon when he addressed certain in
sulting remarks to Conductor Lawrence
Williams. Buck evidently though him
self considerable of a man before that
historic address of his about Pacific
Electric employees in general and Mr..
Williams in particular, delivered near
Eastlake park this afternoon, now he is
very certain that he is considerable of
a wreck.
Williams, who lives in Pasadena, had
some slight trouble with Buck as the
car passed Eastlake park on the trip
into Los Angeles. Buck is said to have
become very abusive and finally Will
liams, who is a veteran of the Spanish
American war and who saw service in
the Philippines, got thoroughly reused.
Williams gave Buck a beautiful exhi-
bition OF the manly art of self defense
at the conclusion of which Buck found
himself in a very delapidated condition
himself in a vnry dilapidated condition
seeing that the man was really badly
hurt, turned Good Samaritan and
loaded Buck back on the car. He then
signaled the car to go ahead and took
the victim Of his prowess to the county
hospital, which the car passes.
Williams himself was injured in the
mix-up. However, he allowed his in
juries to go until his car got back to
Pasadena, when the Pacific Electric
surgeon fixed up a badly cut hand, the
cuts having originated when the con-
ductor's fist encountered the teeth OF
Buck.

CARDED
Many Horses Entered for Today May
Show improvement over Last
Outs When interference
Hindered Chances
ny IRVING u. CLEMENT

Lovers Of steepleChasing VIII nave
another opportunity to witness that
favorlte sport this afternoon, as eight
timber toppers are carded to start.
Cazador will carry he colors of his
new owner, j. c. Sturgis, and as he is
being trained by James Boden Will be
a hard horse to beat. He won from
this same lot bef re and has four
pounds more weight up than last time
out. DR.. Logan was thrown to his
knees by riderless horse last time out,
but for this would have finished closer
up. Lady Chiswell has speed to burn,
but she jumps too high and does not
take the obstacles in her stride Should
beat out the rest of them for third
money. Decimo can do better than last
time out and may come to life this
afternoon.
Phil Igoe looks to have an excellent
chance to get away with the second
race. In his last out Booker pulled him
up when he saw he could not win, but
for this he would have been closer up.
This one will be a price, and as he be-
longs to the "skin-de-kate' he will go
well today. Treasure Seeker met with
interference in his last race and should
dc better today. Nappa is unreliable
and may upset calculations by winning
Elancer has an outside chance.
Reservation, another property of the
"skin-de-k kate" will be one of the
favorites, and it will be wise to steer
away from him and go to Bill Curtis
This one time Derby winner can always
be depended on to run to his best abil-
ity. Baron Esher, with only ninety-tive
pounds up, will go well, and if anything
beats Bill it will be this one. Reserva-
tion will just about peep
Fourth race at mile is very hard
one to select the winner for, as the
weights are allotted so as none of them
stand out prominently. j. f. Donohue
always runs a game race and Will be
close up at the finish. Cigarlighter can
do better than his last effort and should
beat out the rest of the field for the
place honors. John lyle works well,
but his last race was so poor that he
cannot be considered. If he turns a
summersault and wins today the Of
fetal ak is liable t. fly. Should finish:
J. F. Donahue, Cigarlighter, John Lyle.
The only way ]. r. Laughrey can lose
is to fall. He is undoubtedly one of the
best colts on the coast and has not
shown his true form. He is member
OF the "skin-de kate" stable, so watch
]. P. Atkins book to see watts doin'."
Lady Kitty is very speedy and should
have little trouble to get in second.
Gold Ledge will be favored by the dis
tance, and if anything beats him for
the short end of the purse it will be st.
Adams.
If Line of Life runs the same kind of
a race she did last out she should come
under the wire first in the sixth race.
Merlingo, if he starts back today again,
has a mortgage on the second money.
George e. Miner was Lacked heavily
his last time, but was interfered with,
coming on with a rush. This one also
belongs to the "skin-d e-kate" and bears
watching, as he is working well and
can do better than the form he has
shown.

Harper Children Join in FroIic Around
Christmas Tree While New Exec

Reception

Mapor-elect A. g. Harper and his
family last night were the guests of
honor at the annual Christmas celebra-
tion of the Sons Of Hermann
The event was held in Turnverein
hal and 1t proved to be the most suc-
cessful in point of numbers present of
any similar event vet held by the So
ciety during the eighteen years of its
existence.
Members of the order number 275. and
seemed that every member was pres
ent with his wife and children or his
sweetheart Children there were i'm
plently, but not one went away without
present of some description, thanks
to kind Santa Claus, who, on this oc-
casion was Matt Kremer, but so dis
guised and his pottly frame still fur
ther enlarged by pads that he would not
have been recognized in his own house
hold.
Mr.. Harper and his family came early.
and while the mayor-elect moved about.
shaking hands and chatting with
friends and Mrs. Harper was enter
tained by a committee of women in the
gallery, the five children of the Harper
household participated in the frolic
about the Christmas tree in the center
of the hall and slid about the oiled
floor.
At a signal from the master of cere-
monies the children gathered in one of
the ante-rooms. When all was in readi-
ness the band stationed on the stage
struck up a march, which brought
forth Santa Claus, driving with satin
ribbons six little white-gowned maids
Misses Ruth and Norma Leidermann,
Benjamin. Ball, Schmidt and Weik
Following came other children,
marching three abreast, and the march
about the> hall began. Four times the
circle was made by Santa Claus be-
fore the last of the line emerged from
the ante-room, with the result that on
the floor of the hall, almost from the
center to the circumference, there was
mass of children, moving in regular
order.
After a brief halt about the tree,
which was brilliantly lighted, the pro-
cession again started, with Santa Claus
in the lead, and marched up the left
stairway leading to the stage. Here,
with Christmas boxes piled high about
him. Santa Claus took his stand, and as
the children passed him or one of his
many assistants each child was pre-
sented with a package and sent on his
or her way rejoicing.
The event closed with ball which
lasted until midnight.
