SAX FRANCISCO. Dec. 25. (Special.)
At th social event attendant on
the opening of the new ' Palace
Hotel tfrer wu not a little ado over the
"ajr the women flocked to the bar, over
which hanga the Pled Piper of Hamelin
Town, painted by Maxfleld Parrteh.
As soon as the conventions commenced
to glv way , the women flocked to the
barroom and stood at the fcar In droves.
They drank and shook dice grandmoth
ers, mothers and maidens. One woman,
whoao lineage and education have given
her high place for 40 years, paid:
"I have wanted to do this ever since
I could remomber wanted to stand at the
bar and put my foot on the foot-rail
as men do. So this, for me, is the
happiest moment of my life."
To be sure, the police came along in
the morning hours and requested soma
of the woman to move out, but really the
whole thing was done in all Innocence
and ther was no over-drinking.
Charity Kditor Starts How.
William K. Hearst's local editors and
business manager are beginning to realise
that charitable endeavor Is not always
. charitably construed and they are dis
covering a connection they knew not of
between charity and the uncompromising
science of arithmetic. It all comes of
the Thanksgiving edition of the Examiner
which was written, edited and sold by
the energetic women of the Associated
Charities. .The edition was a great suc
cess and everybody remembers how the
papers sold. Everything waa well until
the day for settlement came.
The-n the troubles of the women and
the innumerable business managers be
gan. When a statement of the receipts
and disbursements was compiled, the net
result was not up to the expectations of
the charity workers. It is understood
that the Examiner estimates. Its daily
expenses at 4000, but the figure for the
special edition was much larger. The
dispute has been acrimonious and has
reached the stage, so it is said, where
the women have flatly refused to ac
cept the settlement offered by the Ex
aminer. Hearst Is expected out here after
the holidays and it is said that the wo
men will carry their differences straight
to him for settlement.
Bobljery Story Enlarged On.
San Francisco has been entertained the
past two weeks by a discreetly retiring
gentleman, who has come to be known
far and wide as "The Drugstore Bandit."
The newspapers and more particularly
the. Examiner, "which dearly loves that
kind of a yam. have fairly reveled In
the "going." as the racetrack man would
say. and every line that has heen obtain
able, together with a lot of manufac
tured Information, has gone through the
printing press.
The world at large is acquainted with
the robber, or so much of him as the
press associations have seen fit to carry
over their wires. Briefly speaking, he
Is the chap who some two weeks ago
startled the community by holding-up the
Oleason-Courneen drugrtore on Market
street, near Eighth, and the same night
murdering In cold blood an employe
In a Turkish bathhouse. That was suf
ficient in itself to make a good story,
but he set the city on edge when he re
turned a few nights later to the drug
store snd once more, at the point of
the pistol, induced the clerk to empty
the cash register. And all this while
Dr. Gleaeon (a brother, by the way, of
Jack Gleason) stood in the back of the
establishment, and looked on.
DctectUes Arc Foiled.
Dr. Gleason said It was the same man.
Then followed the alleged robbing of a
candy store, or rather the attempt at
hold-up, by a man thought to be one
and the some with the drugstore robber.
Ths detectives were presumed to be out
sido the candy store, which la close to
the drugstore, but the arch criminal
of tha century escaped them, although
rumor among the reporters who have
been handling the case is to the effect
that the plain clothes men were In a
neighboring saloon Indulging In a drink.
The outlaw, it appears, ta quite 1ft
lr writer. At all events countless mis
sives have been paraded in the news
papers, purporting to come from him.
One of these was to Detective Ryan, who
was threatened with trouble. Another
was received by Dr. Gleason and even
the Examiner received a postal card. In
fact, the messages have come so thick
And fast that the newspaper world, at
least, believe most if not all of them to

have ben hoaxes. The Examiner, it is
shrewdly surmised, had that postal cara
written to Itself to help the story.
That there is- a robber of -some." sort,
no one doubts, but very likely be Is not
of the ferocious sort that the news
papers have -made him out to be. At
all events, the last few eights the
"Bandit Story.'- as It is labeled by the
craft, has been a very dead . affair and
gradually the' newspapers are reducing

been working on. the case. ' .

According to the gosgip fn the pews
and choir of the exclusive Grace 'Epis
copal Church, the retirement' of th
Rev. Davis Evans from his position
as curate and his acceptance of a call
to Palo Alto were not all honey and
sweetness, as the authorized version of
the affair Indicated.
Grace Church is a temporary struc
ture on the cathedral Jot on Nob Hill.
Kverybody knows the Crockers gave
this great block of land to the Episco
palians as a site for their great cathed
ral. But the Rev. Davis Evans camped
right on the lot and threw. In his voice
and influence with the prosecutors who
were denouncing Will Crocker and try
ing to send his friends to jail.
So the Crockers withdrew from Grace
Church and Joined Trinity. Their friends
did the same. Funds for the cathedral
did not come In as rapidly as before
and Jriends of the movement com
menced to look around for th cause.
They suspected the Rev. Davis, but it
would never do to oust him because
he favored the prosecution and offend
ed the rich. So it was decided to dis
solve Grace Church Partsh, absorb it
In the Cathedral and let Dr. Evans
down easy.
For Municipal Ownership.
From all that can be learned, munici
pal ownership will be given a good
trial in San Francisco for the next few
years. The people seem to approve of
the proposition to buy the Spring "Val
ley Water Company and the Indications
are that bonds will be voted for the
purchase of the Geary-street cable line,
which runa from out near the park to
Third and. Market streets in front of
the Chronicle building. There is a tre
mendous fight on as regards the Geary
street line, but the heads of the Union"
Labor party are for the scheme and
that will be a bis boost. . ,
The chief argument against the line
being run by the city it, the fact that
it has no way to reach the ferry, no
system of transfers with the United
Railroads and will therefore be a white
elephant to the city. However that may
be, it looks as if enough of the people
of San Francisco want a line that their
representatives are handling.' .
Tuberculosis Ordinance Signed.
San Francisco has a tuberculosis or
dinance, but it la by no means as Czar
like in power conferred on the Health
Officer as was the original intention.

HOME OF DEPARTED SPIRITS
No Teaching of the Bible Suggests That There Is a Habitation Authorities
Quoted,, on the Subject.
ELM A. Wash.. Dec 22 (To the Edi
tor.) In The Sunday Oregonlan recent
ly there appeared a short article un
der the heading, "Home of Departed
Spirits," in which the writer specu
lates on the possibilities of the where
abouts of the famous resort.
Now I believe it is right and proper
that we speculate, and have our own
ideas, about things pertaining; to Bible
truths, provided we do not go too far.
and allow our ideas -to carry ua be
yond the Bible teaching, thu causing
conflict between human and divine
teaching.
In the article referred to every Idea set
forth Is purely human, and seem to be
contradictory to the word of God.
In the first place, the Bible does not
even hint that there Is such a piace as a
"home for departed spirits." and if we
try to locate and teach such a place, it
does not harmonise with Bible teaching
on kindred subjects, therefore it cannot
be correct.
If we teach a "home for disembodied
tpirits." we are teaching, of necessity.

though with the understanding that
one clause is to be changed. The sec.r
tion complained of gives any inspector
Or other official of the Board of Health
the right to invade a private home and
drag a . victim to another place, despite
the protest of Ws relatives. The Mayor
argued that this was a dangerous power
to be given to an official, and has in
sisted that the charge of exposing oth
er members of the family to the dis
ease must be: proved before the Board
of Health in the regular manner and
that the accused he given a chance ,to
defend himself.
Diceshaking Permitted.,
'The cigar :men have found a- loop
hole in the law that prevents the
nlckel-ln-the,-slot. machines', on the
counters and also prohibits dice-shaking.
'It isn't much of a loophole, but
every little bit helps.
Nowadays nobody may shake dice for
drinks or for cigars and the proprietors
may shake, also. The flaw in the law
was discovered by Judge Cabaniss. It
arises, so he explains, from .n attempt
on the part of the lawmakers to make
a distinction between bartenders and
cigar-dealers on the one hand and com
mon citizens on the other. The judge
held . that., if two customers could le
gally shake dice that the proprietor or
his clerk had an equal right. The re
sult of thiB decision has been the intro
duction of "card" dice, in other words,
dice that have the card symbols printed
on their faces. Instead, therefore, of
dropping a nickel in a slot-machine you
pay a nickel to the dealer and roll out
the dice.
Airship for San Francisco. "
. Some of San Francisco's millionaires
are taking a flyer in the game of avia
tion. There is now in progress a scheme
for building an airship on a new model
right here in this city. It seems that a
man named Murray has invented a
scheme for a flexible tailshaft that will
permit the controlling of an airship
during its flight. John Martin has tak
en the matter up. and the first thing to
do is to get 20 men to put up $500 each
for the building of an experimental
airship. Eugene de Sabla, Leon Sloss.
W. P. Hammon and Frank Griffin are
among those who have already agreed
to put up the money.
Sbuberts May Withdraw.
A rumor which has been persistently
current in theatrical circles for several
days predicts the withdrawal of the
Shuberts from the San Francisco field
in the Tjear future. The fact of con
tinued poor business at the Valencia
street house and the report that the
employes have received notice that
their services will not be required af
ter the first of the year, are looked
upon as confirmation. Coupled with the
rumor and pointed to as significant of
the future of the Valencia is the fact
that Fred Belasco and George Davis, of
the Alcazar, have given the house a
thorough inspection, with a view. It is
claimed, to establishing a house for
melodrama.
disembodied spirits, which thing the Bible
does not teach.
We are not taught in the Bible that we
are naturally immortal, or that any part
of our being Is immortal, except in the
teaching of Satan, when he 'told the wom
an "Ye shall not surely die." (Gen., Hi.)
A direct contradiction of the positive as
sertion of God,-. "Ye shall surely die."
Satan's teaching has universally been
preferred to God's because it seems more
palatable, as It were.
Some of us would rather believe that
when we die we don't die. but just simply
"move out," to take up our abode in the
realms of eternal giory, or home for the
"disembodied."
. This teaching entirely destroys the
beauty as well as the importance of the
great atonement.
"God so loved the world" that he gave
his only begotten son." What for? "That
whosoever believeth on him should not
perish, but have, everlasting life."
"I am come." For what purpose? "That
they might have life, and that they mipht
have it more abundantly." Christ. John,
x:W.
"And as Moses lifted up the serpent In
the wilderness, even so must the son of
I
man be lifted up; that whosoever belier
eth. in him should not perish, but have
eternal life." John, Hi 34-15.
Very many . other Scriptures might be
cited, which teach emphatically that
Christ came to open the floor of eternal
life, and . this life which he brought is
only to those who will enter the door and
accept of it; even then It Is only given by
prom
But "he that belleveth not the son shall
not see lifs." John. iil:86.
These scriptures teach ometlung or
they are worthless.
We very often, hear it preached, es
pecially in a funeral discourse, that
death Is the door to glory; that by
pasti:c -through that door we pass
through into a higher life.
I don't suppose, however, that there
ever was a preacher who dared say
that the Bible taught such a thing, for
we are plainly taught there that death
is our enemy. 1 Cor.. xv;26.
Would we not think the sentence God
pronounced on Adam and Eve-i-for the
direct violation of tnis holy will a
curious one if he had said: "In the day
thou eatest thereof, thou shalt surely
pass through the gateway of glory"?
- Paul says, "sin entered, and dath (the
gateway to glory?) by sin." Rom.. v:12.
He also teachs us that not until the
resurrection will the saying ba fulfilled.
"O, death (gateway to glory? ). where Is
thy stine? The sting of deatl Is sin."
I Cor.. xv:55-5;
But. says the friend at our elbow, "if
the Bible teaches that we only have the
promise of life, at the resurrection, and
we sleep and are unconscious- till that
time, does the Scripture not contradict
itself when It says that the spirit shall
return to God who gave It?" -
Not at all. "God formed man of the
dust '., . . and breathed Into, his nos
trils . . , life." Gen.. ii:7.
Here is the sum of man's composition.
In speaking of God's cmnipotency. Job
says: "In whose hand is the soul of
every living thing and the breath of all
mankind."
We are now living souls, but are very
quickly robbed of that title, for, "Thou
takest away their breath, they die. and
return to their dust."
"His breath goeth forth, he returneth
to his earth; in that very day his
thoughts perish."
Now when we stop to conaider that a
man is a man, and not a house for tht;
spirit to dwell In while on earth, and that
he is" a machine "fearfully and wonder
fully made.", as David says, and that he
is propelled by the life that is in him
and that the life is only in him as long
as he is capable of breathing, that when
"his breath goeth forth" his life; goes
with it. and Is then in the hands, power.
or keeping1 of God ' till the resurrection
then is Solomon understood when he
said. "Then shall the dust return to the
dust as it was, and the spirit shall return
unto God who gave It."
Once, when consulting a prominent au
thority on the subject of "the spirit in
man." he said that the spirit could see,
hear, feel, taste and talk; that it had the,
form of a person.
When asked why he believed as he did.
he replied that the Bible taught it, and
for proof referred us to the rich man
and Lazarus, and a few other Scriptures
that he thought established hie idea.
When asked what becomes of that
portion of a man's spirit which is in
cased in his legs, when the train cut
both his legs off, whether that portion
of the spirit stayed with the rest, and
managed without a house to live. In, or
whether it took Its flight as soon as
it was uncased, or whether it went with
the old case Into the grave, he replied
that such a question was too ridiculous
to be answered.
"We thought so, too.
There is nothing ridiculous in the truth
of God's word.
"Jesus Christ is the only one who hath
Immortality.".- Tim. vl:16.
"Man Is mortal." 1 Cor. xv:53.
( "It Is appointed unto all men once, to
die." Heb. ix:27.
"Man lieth down and riseth not: till
.the heavens shall be no more, they shall
not awake, . nor be raised, out of their
sleep." Job xiv:12.
"If a man die. shall he live again? All
the days of my appointed time will I
wait,- till my change come. Thou shalt
call, and I will answer ' thee." Job
xlv:14-15.
"Marvel not at this: for the hour is
coming, in the which all that are in the
graves shall hear his voice, and shall
come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life: and ' they
that have done evil, until the resurrec
tion of damnation." Jesus, John v:2-29.
"I am the resurrection and the life; he
that believeth in me. though he were
dead, yet shall he live." Jesus. John xi:23.
So then, we are asleep, unconscious,
between death and the resurrection, and
"your life is hid with Christ - In God.
When Christ, who Is our life shall appear,
then shall ye also appear with him In
glory, col. 111:3-4.
Is there anything ridiculous about It?
Read the whole Bible, and see the lm
portance, with which the writers there
seem to view the judgment and the resur
rection.
But why?
If we have passed into glory at death
vhy do our old bodies need to be raised?
If we are enjoying perfect happiness In
heaven, why bring us back to this earth
to be judged?
Why bring Haman out of hell and tor
ment (if there were such a thing) after
these 'thousands of . years, and try him
and sentence him to hell and torment?
Again we have Tun on to something
ridiculous.
But let us not try to rob Christ of the
glory which rightly belongs to him, by
teaching that man is naturally immortal
and has life independent of Christ.
To him be all the glory of eternal life,
through the resurrection which is by him.
Until that time we have no need for
another "home." D. B. I'IZER.

FEW STOPS AND FAST CARS
. Mixed Opinion as to Stopping at Every Other .Crossing.
PORTLAND, Dec. 24. (To the Editor.)
The suggestion that trolley cars
should be stopped only at every other
street crossing for the accommodation of
passengers, good from every point of
view, will hardly be adopted at least not
without a vigorous protest from many
people. The reason is plain. This Is not
an era of walking. The tetndency is to
give the legs a rest, or as much rest as
possible. Physical exercise is hateful and
every effort Is being put forth to devise
means of contributing to perfect ease,
artificial transportation that Is, any sort
which will render unnecessary the em
ployment of real muscle in getting from
one place to another.
Try to sell a house and lot to an In
quirer for a home. Among his first in
quiries will be as to its distance from a
streetcar line. If the agent say two
blocks, the purchased-to-be will rebel at
once, and If it Is three blocks distant,
the trade Is off, . if not in a thousand
places, certainly in nine cases out of ten.
The blocks in Portland are usually 200
feet ' long, and any man or woman can
without Indulging in unseemly haste walk
that-distance in a minute. Three blocks
will require, say, four minutes' walk, but
this distance Is so great and the time re
quired so excessive that In most In
stances the problem is too appalling to be
favorably considered.
Then there are the automobiles. The
man who can afford one expects his
chauffeur to pick him up at his front
door and land him at the entrance to his
office. This is done. The man may
walk two blocks for his lunch at noon,
but that is about the extent of his "leg
exercise" for the day. And the v omen?
How often do you see the wives of those
who can afford automobiles walking along
Washington, Morrteon or our other bus
iness streets? Seldom, 1f ever. On the
contrary, driven by a chauffeur and en
sconced in a huge touring car, they dash
up to a department store, alight and en
ter It while the professional negotiator
of the chug-chug car bides his time. If
another establishment two blocks away
is the next object to be Investigated, the
auto la used for transportation purposes
hither. - But not always does the fair
purchaser leave her comfortable seat.
Frequently a clerk is actually sent for
and he proceeds to the street, where or
ders are given and the delivery wagon
does the rest. .
With the rapidly growing tendency to
sit and lie about as much of each 24
hours as possible, it Is a safe prediction
that three or four generations hence the
earth will be inhabited by a race of leg
less people devoid of lower limbs, these
supposed necessary adjuncts of the hu
man body being suggested only by a cou
ple of atrophied stumps, ugly, useless,
shrunken and without form.
Of course, as aviation is studied and
perfected, it Is possible that the human
race may by degrees develop wings In
the place of arms, and feathers Instead
of hair; but the legs are surely doomed,
excepting, perhaps, in the case of the
plebeians who haven't any other appar
ent or real means of support. Under
present tendencies, however, it ta useless
to expect people willingly to consent to a
system of streetcar stoppages involving
an extra walk of a block, when it is eo
much easier for the motorman to turn
the "juice" off and on by the turn of a
crank, than It is for the impatient citi
zen to summon the necessary energy to
start a pair of legs in actual motion
What we may expect, therefore. Is the
Inauguration, without much delay, of a
system which will stop cars not only at
every street crossing, but in the middle
of each block, with autos at convenient
distances on such streets as have no car
lines to quickly transport citizens at the
expense of the city to the nearest stop

protests of the voluble and vehement ob
jector. G. T. T.
PORTLAND, Dec 24 (To the Editor.)
I, among many others, think that the
suggested plan of streetcars being stopped
at every other street a very good idea
and one that ought, if put into effect,
very materially increase the .streetcar
service in efficency. In addition, I be
lieve that the car wervlce can be still fur
ther benefited if the system of flagging
for railroad trains on Kast Morrison
street was done away with. The street
cars should be given the right of way.
If The Oregonian's contention in regard
to draw-bridges is correct, that the num
ber of persons benefited should be a fac
tor In determining the operation of the
draw, how much more so should it apply
to the Cast " Morrison-street railroad
crossing, where all cars at all times in
both directions are held up for "flag
ging."' If this delay was computed for a
day, I believe that the time lost would
amount to more than the delay from the
Morrison-street bridge draw, being left
open.
Another time-saver would be to have
regular men stationed at prominent loca
tion to operate switches instead of de
pending on the motorman. Where it is
necessary that flagging be done, a flag
man should be employed, instead of mak
ing the conductor fight his way through
a crowd of passengers to flag his car.

The Industries of Knappton, Wasli.
PORTLAND, Dee. 23. (To the Editor.)
Noticing- repent news reports in The Ore
gonlan, referring to the Columbia Mills, at
Knappton. as having been built by A. M.
Simpon, I wish to correct the error.
Knappton was first started as a center
for a cement factory and a barrel factory,
was built where barrels were made for the
cement. The place was then called Ce
mentvtlle. After that enterprise failed. Mr.
Knapp, brother to R- Knapp, f Knapp,
Burrel A Co.. took hold of the site, changed
the barrel faetorr to a box factory and
built the sawmill. After running it a year
or so Mr. Knapp'i money, and may be en
ergy, gave out, and the mill came Into the
possession of A. M. Simpson. Mr. Knapp
went o a farm on Lake River, Lewis
County. Wash., where about 9 years ago
he died, raspected and honored.
As for A. 14. Simpson, bis enterprises ham
teen many. I was employed at the

Would End Fearful Suffering.
CASE SEEMED HOPELESS
BUT CUTICURA CURED HER
"Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema I suffered with. It broke out
on my head and kept spreading until it
covered my whole body. I was almost
a solid mass of sores from bead to foot.
I looked mors like a piece of raw beef
than a human being. The pain and
agony I endured seemed, more than I
could bear. Blood and pus oozed from
the great sore on my scalp, from under
my finger nails, and nearly all over my
body. My ears were so crusted and
swollen I was afraid they would break:
oJT. Every hair in my head fell out.
I could not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry out from the pain.
My family doctor did all he could, but
1 got worse and worse. My oonditioa
was awful. I did not think I could live,
and wanted death to come and end my
frightful sufferings.
" In this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. I said I would, but had no hope
of recovery. But oh, what blessed re
lief I experienced after applying Cuti
cura Ointment. It cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep I had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue. I would bathe with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. I also took Cuti
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running,
the flesh began to heal, and I knew!
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time I was completely cured.
I cannot praise Cuticura enough. I
wish I could tell everybody who has '
ecsema to use Cuticura. My condition
was so terrible that what cured me
cannot fail to cure anybody of this
awful disease. If any one doubts the
truth of this tetter, tell them to write
to me. Mrs. Wm. Hunt, 135 Thomas
St.. Newark. H. J., Sept. 2S, 1908."
