California Supreme Court Declares
 Him Unlawfully Convicted.
 San Francisco, March 10.-That for. mer Mayor Eugene E. Schmitz was un- lawfully convicted of extortion and sentenced to five years in prison was reaffirmed in the state supreme court here.
 The court held in brief that. even though Schmitz had accepted money from French restaurateurs, he had not obtained it by threat and was therefore not guilty of extortion under the stat. utes. Schmitz had been held in Jail ever since his conviction, and there are several other indictments standing against him.
 The sustained decision of the appel late court held that the indictment on which Schmitz was convicted was de- fective in that 1t did not aver that Schmitz was mayor. that Ruef. his codefendant. was political boss in control of the city and that as such they were in position 10 exercise power and undue influence over the police commissioners so as to bring about extortIon and that it did not show that Schmitz resorted to unlawful means in threatening to have liquor H. censes withheld.
 Abraham Ruef. who was jointly in' dicted with Schmitz. pleaded guilty, snd his sentence is now pending. The decision of the supreme court also ap piles to him. It Is believed that Schmit1 will immediately apply for release from the county jail on bail, and Ruef may do likewise.
 The prosecution purposes at once tc bring to trial some of the many other charges preferred against them.

 Refugee.
 New York, March 10.-With tales of a sister worth $20,000,000 and broth CT who had just died and left her $5,- 100000, Russian woman who has rivaled the late and unlamented Cas- sic Chadwick had her career nipped by her arrest at the Hotel Shoreham. She was lodged in the Tombs in default of $50,0O0 bail and will soon be on her way back to Russia to answer a charge of raising a 100 ruble check to 100000 rubles, thereby adding $50,O00 to her spending money
 From hints dropped by an attache of the Russian consulate 1t is believed that she is also charged with political offenses, and if the truth ever escapes the devious ways of Russian diplomacy the details of crime against the gov ernment may be revealed.
 Arrested by Federal Marshal.
 She was arrested by United States marshal under the name of Olga Stein on an eXtradition warrant issued by Robert T. Bacon, acting secretary of state. To George w.. Floyd, the man. ager of the Shoreham, she was known as Mime. Schultz, wife of captain in the royal Russian navy, and at the Ho- tel Breslin, which she left two months ago, she was known as Mime. Rich tore. Another name by which she has been known is Segalovitch, which is believed to be her maiden name.
 Although she appeared to be short in ready cash, she has been long in prom ises since she reached New York in the early winter. Her clothes were of the richest, and sealskin coat which she wore when she was arraigned be- fore United States Commissioner Shields was worth several thousand dollars.
 Whatever may have been her plan of campaign in this country the Hotel Shoreham and her attorney here ap- pear to be the only losers. Mir. Floyd is out matter of $225 unless he col lects it from her counsel, Isaac Do- broezunski of 302 Broadway, who ad- mitted that he had failed to receive a retainer.

and made him uncomfortable. made him realize that he must have a change of heart. Nicodemus was not unmind- ful of the heavenly message. And this text has been the touchstone of Gods love and mercy down through the Christian ages for sinners of every kind and degree after they have been convicted of sin. It has brought mill- ions Of them to the foot of the cross, and to a saving knowledge of divine grace through our Lord Jesus Christ
 Isn't it a blessed comfort this morn ing that while We were without God in the world we were forgiven? We have struggled. We have had hard time. but God has been with us. lead ing, comforting, sustaining us; and if we remain faithful to our Lord, we shall. by and by, join the white-robed throng around His throne, and help them sing the song of Moses and the Lamb. Then let us never forget the inspired text: God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son that whosOever believe;h in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life"

GODS GIFT 70 THE WORLD,

At the First Methodist church yes
 terday morning. the pastor. Rev. Alex ander R. Maclean preached an impress sive and practical sermon from John
 ii.. 16: For God so loved the world.
 that He gave His only begOtten Son
 that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish. but have everlasting life"
 This text has been characterized as the gospel in epitome. Pliny once said that he had seen the Iliad of Homer written inSuch minute characters that the whole ot the text of that immortal poem could go into a nutshell In Queen EliZabeth's time, an Englishman wrote the bible so that the whole of it was inclOsed in the shell of a com- mon walnut
 So there is no passage of scripture that contains so much in so little as this wonderful text. It is a marvel not only of literary condensation. but of close-nacked ethical truths, and philosophy that is divine. There is no word in the language that embraces so much as the little word "so" as it is used in the verse we are considering This verse has been employed. perhaps. more than any other to bring convict tu SOAlS Ap 1lIlSA- II We Nlth II the true standpoint. it is a mirror in which we can see the love of God as the lilies are reflected in the quiet lane It shows the attitude of God towards His creatures. He has a love for all material things which have come from His hand-a love for fleecy cloud and tinted rainbow. for waving forest and towering mountain. level plain and sparkling river. Then there is His love for hol:' men and holy women. He has for them the fullest affinity. But He does not look upon sin with any degree of tolerance. It is not con- genial to Him. There are things for which We do not have an affinit- The love God has for sinful man is the love referred to in the text He looks down upon us from His high view point with pity and compassion. Were il not for this I cannot divine how it were possible that you and I could be saved. So we have reason to congrat- ulate ourselves this morning that the God of omnipotent power. the God of the universe, the God who has given the anaconda its constructing. bone- crushing power. the God who
 "-plants His footsteps on the sea,
 And rides upon the stor1Ti," is. as well a God of supreme pity. of transcendent mercy and unbounded l love-a God who may be conciliated, { a friend whom we can trust, more 1 than brother to all Of us. He is the 1 great. omnipotent Father who can soothe the frightened. sorrowful child | and still its little. agitated heart.
 The text declares the world to be in | a perishing condition. Those of us | who have studied sin know that it is | for all the disorders that | affiict individual or communal life. the | heartache, the sorrow. the final death | of the soul; sin. the universal enemy. l ain. that has thrown wide open upon | its hinges the gates of hell.

THE CHURCHES

At the First Presbyterian church yesterday the pastor. Rev. Henry Mar tin Campbell. preached on Spiritual Power" taking as text the last clause of the ninth verse of the second chap ter of Second Kings: And Elisha said. T pray thee. let double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
 God wants us to have spiritual power. IL is an exceedingly practical thing. We need il because the church of Christ is not accomplishing the work of saving men as God intended it should The church is not primarily for the purpose of feeding the souls of believers nor that their hearts may be stirred within them, but that men may be saved. 'ye are the salt of the earth said Christ, and the purpose of salt is to save and preserve. Pente- cost the Wesleys. the Fulton street prayer meetings, Moody. Finney. Tor rey. Chapman, all are arguments that show Gods willingness and ability to supply the need the church has for this power The church needs spirit ual power: il is not accomplishing its highest aim: therefore, it needs an additional outpouring of the Holy Ghost The church's worldliness stands in the way of the receiving of this power. The individuals who make up the church forget to put the things of Christ first He lived for himself. he thought for himself. for himself and none beside. can be said of too many of the nrofessed followers of the Lord Jesus Christ.
 Tt is a wonderful blessing that We may ask God to cloths us with this power that we ma. do His work well; but We must pay the price. As in the physical and intellectual world. so in the spiritual world, We must put forth the effort and nay the full price or we cannot obtain the power. No pain. no palm: no cross. no crown; no thorns. no throne Every man in history who has been an example of mental, phy- sical or spiritual power has paid the price for il. and why should we expect it for ourselves when we put forth so little effort 10 get il? Prayer is the price We must pay. God gives us spir- itual power in proportion to our wait ing before Him on our knees.
 "The results Of power in the spirit are courage like Peter had on the day of Pentecost. richness of spiritual life like Moody had, and the salvation of the souls of men. To accomplish these results, let us cling to God in prayer.

beings are born to trouble as the sparks fly upward. If there be any ex- ception to this rule-if there be any man or woman on the planet past thir- ty who has had no trouble l have neither seen that person nor heard that persons name. Have you?
 But this fact need not discourage us. To the eye of faith there is a bow of bright promise on every cloud of earth. Sin Is cloud, but it has it's bow of promise. The first color in this bow is forgiveness. @ cleansing, (3) our sins are to be covered ocean deep. (D infinitely removed from us, (5), they are not to be mentioned unto us, (6j they are to be forgotten
 Then there is the cloud of tempta- tion in the lives of us all. But this cloud. too. is spanned by a bow of the brightest color
 "I will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able to bear"
 Here hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man"
 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation" Boys. that promise is just as true now as in the days of the noble T init this great sin against God"
 And there is the cloud of sorrow also Adversity. death. disease. responsible ity. Is there promise for these clouds? There is.
 All things work together for good to those who love God"
 The most beautiful lives are not cloudless lives. Storms must lash the ocean into foam and pillows for purifi- cation. If we walk in the clear light of Gods truth above every cloud of life we shall ever behold the rich bow of Gods promise and hope.
 l once stood upon one of the highest peaks of Lookout Mountain. The sun was shining upon the clouds beneath me. The view was exquisitely beauti- ful. as If thousand rainbows had been ground into powder and their dust scattered beneath us. By and by, we shall be above the clouds. for there is a realm where the rainbow never fades.

Let us not be satisfied with a few short moments spent in asking Him for the power. and let us not cut our selves off from Him until the power comes. Then will the church fulfill her mission: then will the souls of men and women be saved. What an infi- mite supply of spiritual power there is in their treasur- of the Lord Jesus Christ. IL may be ours if we but ful-
 fill the requirements. if We pay the price"

CLOUDS AND RAINBOWS.

At the Central Methodist Church, South. in the evening the pastor preached on Clouds and Rainbows." He read for his text the 14th verse of the 9th chapter of Genesis; and it shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth that the bow shall be seen in the cloud"
 The speaker said, in part: God is good. He has given almost everything : about us a tongue. The sun rising in the morning speaks to us of the Son of Righteousness with healing in his wings The stars in the heavens point to the Star of Bethlehem. The winds whisper to us of the work of the Holy Spirit. The darkness of the night utters the gloomy prophecy of the sinners doom. The monday splendor reminds us of the bright splendor of the eternal day. The house We live in reminds us of the house of many mansions not made with hands. The bread we eat and the water we drink preach to us of Him who is tine bread and water of life. The cloud in the skies reminds us of Gods terrible visitation for sin. But while the cloud thus speaks to us of sin and death. God chose to give us something to speak of his goodness and his mercy. On the dark back ground of wrath he paints for us a beautiful picture of loving kindness.
 ''It shall come to pass when I bring a cloud over the earth that the bow shall be in the cloud"
 This is a world of clouds. So many try to live life on a wrong theory. They seem to have the conception of a life free from trouble. They dream of this; they plan for this; they toll for this: and they are all disappointed. They might as well seek to live without eat ing and without breathing. All human
