THE MORXIXG ASTOHIAX, ASTORIA, OREGON. MONDAY, JUNE it, igofl, " I mm-mmmmmmmmmmmmmmuimmmmimmmmmmmmtmmmmmmt Sermon I Yesterday Rev. RyJqiiist of the First Lutheran church last night preached to a large audience on the subject of "Regenera tion.'' He Mid in part: In the animal world also there is a regeneration going on. The primeval mastadon of the American forest be came extinct long ago. showing that a bulky form however powerful has given place to eunningness and fpeed. The elephant of the tropical jungle is be coming extinct for the same reason. There is the law of the survival of the fittiest at work throughout the ages differentiating and developing new species. Thus the vegetable as well as the animal world i altogether different today from that of primeval times, and the development has not been a degene ration into higher more more suitable forms. Is man unchangeable, or does he con form to this same law of regeneration? Some try to tell us that the ape is our ancestor. There is no doubt but what a man can degenerate so low, that such an anepstory might be (uspeeted and the saying of one of the modern poets come true, "There is only a step between man and the brute." But that step only i too great to be stepped even in theory. The descent of man can therefor not be traced to the ape unless we do like Darwin manufacture a connecting link, which in the course of time has been lost without leaving as much as a trace behind it; not even a petrified foot print to prove that it did exist outside of the mind of Professor Darwin. There is also another fact that can not be explained on the basis of a natural development only, and that is the great difference be tween the races; the differences of color, form, etc. In the comparatively short period of time the human race has exist ed these differences eonld not arise from natural causes only. Scientists who do not wish to recognize supernatural in fluences upon man have tried to solve the mystery by stating that we have not all descended from a common stock, but from two or three different pairs and localities. But common sene asks this question, which is easier to believe in these hypothesies or in the plain truth of a supernatural influence! The Bible reveals to us what no science nor theories of human knowledge can, that there has been a creation of man. That this crea tion waa perfect ; that the first man was created in the image of the Creator, beautiful to behold, with heart and pas sions pure and holy, intelligent, wise, and the crown and glory of creation. Para dise was his home. In that beautiful Garden of Eden he should develop ad infinitum. There were no bounds to his development. Life had no bound', his virtues none. But evil came as an in fluence from without and entered into all his relations, brought degredation, mis ery and death to man. He had been warned, but he heeded not the voice of God. He had strength to resist tempta tion, but he chose to fall; he had to bear the consequences. For centuries man la bored beneath the burden of the curse'. God was to him only the avenger. Cain and his descendants wandered like fugi tives from justice. The sons of Ham went out after5 the regeneration of the flood more degraded than their fellow brethren. Slowly man learnt to kiss the chastizing hand of Providence and to ap proach him in prayer for forgiveness and blessing. Slowly the curves were chang ed into blessings. Labor is no longer a curse but a blessing. The eurse pro nounced on the first woman is today looked upon as a duty of love. The sons of Ham are emanating from eternal servitude into liberty and civilisation. This has had its great influence on man in general. He has leen regenerated and is being so. There seems to be n nit tural law in all nature and that law is ( regeneration. Man is now exempt from thi law, but develops neeoiMing to it. The religion of Jesus Christ is a living i religion. It grows and develop in a liv ing way, and it shall embrace all peoples. I It is not bound by nationality, language, j or form. It has shattered all liond man I has tried to place upon. It is the same (religion as of old. only better under ! stood today. In'ter illucidated by an en ! lightened understanding. A century ago for les the wrath of God was thundered i from the pulpit, it wa sinner in the hands of an angry God. Today the theme is sinners at the feet of Jesus. Heaven and eternal blessedness are presented, the reward of Godliness is held up. and more souls are won for Christ and his kingdom, than were ever frightened there. A VALUABLE ACQUISITION. Sheriff Thomas Linville, who is soou to relinquish the burdens of ofliee, has be-n casting about for something useful and productive of revenue to engage his time after he shall do so; and to thi' end be has just negotiated the purchase of the well known property of Henry Fiester- and wife, in Pacific County, Washington, it being the donation land claim of these old people (the original patent for the same, signed by President Hayes, panning with the title) to which he added another purchase of sixty-five acres adjoining, making in all, a tract of 030 acres. For this fine body of land he paid fitiOO cash. The property lies about one mile above Ilwaco, on the W'allieut river, and is well timbered, though there are about 250 acres of tide lands upon the tract, which will necessi tate some dyking. He will log the tim ber out himself, or sell if off, in due time, and the prairie land he will pre pare for stock purposes, and enter upon this latter line as a permanent business. He will not give up his home in Astoria, but will live here and run his stock there, and gradually improve the place until he has made it one of the best paving properties in this neighborhood. He returned home yesterday. "SAME OLD STORY." Charlie Haddix went a-fishing yester day. At daylight he donned a frowsly old cap, a red sweater, and a canva' suit, and with a pair of long rubber boots, he sailed for Green Mountain, on horse back, and went his mercy way for fifteen miles, pre determined to catch all the speckled beauties in the mountain streams that meander round about 01 ney. He stayed all day long and timed himself to enter the city after darkness had fallen but was overhauled by a friend to whom he humbly confessed that he had captured "four mountain trout," but the friend was from Missouri and Haddix had to show up. and when he opened up his fi-hing basket, there were but four miserable little measley trout, too small to wiggle and too near the spawn-age to come under and definition whatever, and only that they were dead, the friend would have turned him over to the fish commissioner.

BOAT CAPSIZES IN COLUMBIA Charles Isakson, Living at 1338 Frank lin Avenue, 11 Drowned in North Channel Eliason Rescued Just in Time. With their boat bottoiuside up in the breakers that roll high and strong near Xorth Head, and weighed down by their boots and heavy clothing, Charles lutk- son, a lWierinan of this city, and John Elia'on of Ilwaco, battled heroicly for their lives late Saturday afternoon, and in the end. the sea proved victor over Isakson, drawing him down to death, and almost claiming Kliason. who was rescued just as he was giving up the unequal struggle by fishermen in another boat. The ciivumstance. as near as they could lie learned lust nigh;, are these: Iaskson and Kliason, his ltoat puller, were fishing in the North channel for the Combine, and as the waves were very strong, their boat was overturned. For some time the men struggled in the wat er, before their plight was seen 'by an other fl-hing boat in the vicinity. As fas as possible the fishing ltoat was headed toward the aliuo-t exhausted men. Worse than the witter or the waves that buffeted them, the fine meshes of the net which had dumped into the water, entwined themselves around the fishermen in the water, and hindered their movements. Isakson man aged to keep aWe the water until the boat was but a short distance away, and it seemed that afety bad arrived, when suddenlv he sank from sight, and when the rescuers reached the spot, there was no trace to be found of him. Klia son had given up and sank also, but as he arose for the last time, he was seized unconscious, and dragged into the ltoat. He was removed at once to Hwnco. w here he was soon brought back to life, and consciousness. A search was made for the body of Isakson yesterday until dark, but no trace of the body was dis covered at last accounts. I'akson lived with his wife in a small cottage at 1328 Franklin avenue. She is prostrated by the news of her husband's death. The deceased was a niemb-r of the Finnish Brotherhood in this city, and also of the Foresters' Lodge in Hancock, Mich. He was about 40 years old. BASEBALL GAMES. Warrenton yesterday met her Water loo at the hands of the Skamokawa baseball team at Skamokawa in a ragged game lasting only three innings by a score of 14 to 0. At the close of the game the Shamrocks of this city played the winners a close and exciting game lasting five innings, and ending with a score of 3 to 2 in favor of Skamokawa. . An error lost the game for Astoria, as they led until the last inning, when a bad throw to first base, brought in two runs for the Skamokawa lads. On next Sunday the Shamrocks will prob ably play the Skamokawa team on the A. F. C. grounds in this city. ET0LIA TOTAL LOSS. YARMOUTH, N. 8., June 10,-The steamer Etolia, from St. Johns, yester day for Barrow via Sydney, C, B., struck a dangerous ledge near Cape Sable in a thick fog early today and was seriously damaged, Tonight the condi tion of the -Etolia was f so bad that the crew launched a boat and succeeded in landing on a small island near the light house. The captain stayed on board. The vessel will probably be a total losa. PETRL FISHERMEN ARE VERY BUSY Great Variety of Gems Are Being Found in Lower California Pearls of All Colors and Sites. Adrian Cornejo. n prominent pearl fisher of lower California, says that the pearl fishers along all the coast of the jtulf are doing an excellent business this year. In thi pait of Mexico there is more variety in the color of the pearls found than in any other part of the world, and comprise black, gray, red, bluei-h green and yellowish. Mexican pearls are fast gaining a gotd reputa tion in the world markets. In Faris. which is the center of the pearl trade, there are no pearls more in favor than those from Mexico, There is now altout as much prospect -for pearls in the gulf of California as there is hunting for mine throughout the interior of Mexico, and the entire gulf coa't is closely inspected by pearl fishers or prospectors. The best pearls are to be found in the Itottom of the pearl lied'. Therefore old beds that were some time ago nuptoed to have been worked out have lately been raked ovi-h sometimes with gratifying results. One of the finest gray pearls ever found was encountered in one of these deserted beds. Among the most valuable pearls to lie found in the gulf of California are thosp of a reddish color. They have an exquisite luster, and many of them are large and of the 1110-t p -rfect shape. D0NIS-WADB. A pleasant home wedding wvurrcd ut the residence of Mr, ami Mrs. R. J.
