UNION CHURCH SERVICES
CHANGED-The union church serv
Ices have been changed from the plaza
to the First Methodist church for the
first sunday evening in July. Because
of slip on the part of a committee
and lack of definite understanding
with the board, the union services an
nounced for this evening at the plaza
will not materialize. In its stead the
evening meeting as well as the morn
ing meeting viii be held at the First
Methodist church The music to be
conducted by the choir of that church.
A cordial invitation has been urged
through the various pastors of all the
churches taking part in the union
services to assist. No notice has been
handed to the committee on announce
ments as to who will occupy the pulpit
at IL o'clock. The pastor of the Chris
ton church will speak in the evening
at s O'Clock. Theme Seeking for
Signs and Shibboleths" Everybody is
cordially invited to these services.
THE A. & C.-The new train over
the Arizona & California road-the
Phoenix"-left for the second time last
in the equipment was elimination of
the tourist sleeper. The train was in
charge of Conductor Frank Woods,
who with James Graves will be in
regular charge of the A. & c. trains
Last nights train was we'll filled. The
chair car when the train left Phoenix
was almost crowded and all the lowers
in the Pullman were taken. There isn't
any question but that the service is
bound to be popular one and the
quickest and easiest method of reach
ing the coast. Among the passengers
last night were II. S. Barry, for San
Francisco; f. II. Bennett of the Ben
nett Lumber company, for San Diego:
Mr.. and Mrs. ]. NJ. Ellison, for Santa
Barbara; Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Porter,
for San Diego; Jack Ainsworth, for
San Diego; w. H. Teasley and Miss
Bessie Teasley, for San Diego; Fred
c. Henshaw, for San Diego. and a
number of others.
THE CHAIN GANG-During the
month of June it cost the city $l19 to
feet the prisoners in the city Jail This
is an increase over last month OF $3S
During the present month the city
street department figures that il got
$l45 worth of work out of the chain
gang. This amount is exclusive of the
extra meal which chain gang prisoners
get. The man who won't work gets
two meals day and the man who will
gets threat Is cents per. The po-
lice court is daily filled with drunks-
many of them "repeaters" These last
come before Judge Thomas again and !
again, apparently profiting nothing by |
the fine or Imprisonment imposed up
on them. Previous to the incumbency |
of o. II. Christy as street superintend- |
ent the chain gang was a joke There |
was little effort made to get the men |
to work and the foreman of the gang |
was glad TO turn his back when any
one of them showed signs of desiring |
TO escape. Escape was not only per- |
mitted but encouraged Under the |
present superintendent there is evil |
dent a determination to make these |
men work II is beginning to be be- |
lieved that the practise of permitting |
DRINKS to sleep off their 'jags" in the i
station and go in the morning without |
trial or hearing at the pleasure of the |
marshal should be discontinued and |
that this class of offenders, whether |
they have friends at the city hall or |
not, should take their medicine on the ]
chain gang with the rest
