No Sermon In Il.

Some narrow minded and mis-
guided clergymen have attempted
to point a moral and preach i'll
timed sermons on the San Fran
cisco disaster.
They have attempted to show
that 1t was a visitation of provi-
dence because of the wickedness
of the city.
There is nothing more ridici-
ulous than this sort of talk.
Earthquakes come from purely
natural causes and they destroy
the just and the unjust alike.
Clara Morris writes very SEN
sible com munication on this sub
ject, she says:
If Gods divine plan for this one
of His worlds was placed before
us, could our little infinite brains
"bear it?' | imagine not. But,
oh, California!-the jewel casket of
our land, containing more exqui-
site beauty in varying forms than
any half-dozen ST. tes-how are
YOU marred and brokenl And San
Francisco second only to the
glittering white-and-gold Paris on
her nobly bridged Seine! AS a
city OF pleasure she stood first in
our land. To the warm hospitality
of the South she added a gayety, a
meriment, irresistible, because of
its universally, for this power of
enjoyment, this love of amusement
was never confined to the rich or
young. The hardest workers. the
most prominent financiers, mer-
chants lawyers and business hours
past, were off like boys to ride
recklessly-to drive to dine, to
sup, to hold high jinks in clubs
unnumbered. Theaters there were
held to be necessities, opera a
cause of universal joys there SEEM
ed to be laughter in the winey air,
Joy in the beams of the glorious
sun.
Poor, merry, laughing, triumph
ant. San Francisco beautiful
as Hebe, with turbulent locks vine
crowned, her blue Pacific cream
ing softly up the beach in pursuit
of her rosy flying feet, while she
beckoaed ever her followers to that
tryst upon the Cliff-place of un-
ending revelry, not license, but
love Of the bennty OF earth and
sky, the pagan JOY of living!
And now, shroulded in Grape for
those other stricken cities, her
young daughters; face down upon
the riven earth, with many burn
and bruise upon her fair body,
she seems thing crushed, lifeless
fit only for the grave.
But praise-bury not the quick.
Other States, strong and tender,
are coming to her aid-all rivalry
forgotten. They will lift her up,
and with oil and with wine they
will bind up her wounds" She
will raise her eyes and seeing
Gods smile in the blue beauty of
the sky will take "heart of grace
the people who fed will return to
her; the old, splendid courage that
formerly made light of obstacles
will glow again in their breasts.
This terrible catastrophe will be-
come q tragic and very sacred
memory TO the splendid and stately
San Francisco of the future.

trip to New York, and they laid be.
fore the meeting in the afternoon a
number Of propositions from capital

Mr.. Meeker stated to a reporter for
The Chleftain that the road would
certainly be built; it is merely a ques-

A DIVORCE.

The report that Mrs. James G. Blaine.

dence in South Dakota, the Mecca of
persons seeking separation from uncon-
genial mates, derives special interest
from the fact that her husband, son
and namesake of the late Secretary
Blaine. has had a somewhat stormy
matrimonial career Young Mr.. BIane's
escapades have furnished no end of
gossip, and his conduct has often given
his family much annoyance. Some
years ago he married Miss Marie New
ms. daughter of Colonel Richard New
ms of Ohio and beauty who was not
ed as an amateur actress. They quar-
relied, and the wife obtained a divorce.

The most extensive irrigation works
In the world are in India. There an
area equal to more than the entire sur
face of the state of Maine is supplied
with water from rivers which are con-
trolled by artificial means. This takes
no account of the land irrigated by pri-
yate enterprise or from tanks. The
value of the crops raised on land irri-
gated by the government is about Sl3o.-
100000 yearly. 1t is believed that If
all the tanks and other small local
sources of irrigation were taken into
the reckoning the area watered would
be nearly as great as that of the British
isles-say a region not far from three
times as extensive as Ohio.
