B. Murray. ' This time ah Is Tjelns- de fended oa the ground of femoUosaJ In sanity. While Patrolman Murray was on the stand yesterday, Mrs. Oe.Clcco broke in with a tirade against Jndre Cleland. who 4s trying -the case-- Just what she was talking about no one could tell, but It required the combined efforts of her attorney, the Italian Interpreter, Matron Cameron of the county jail and another woman to quiet . Tier. Judge Cleland told the woman's ' attorney that bis client must Keep ouiet. The attor ney nromlsed to do his beat to control her, arid during the remainder of the session' she was comparatively quiet. When Patrolman Murray received the blow on the- bead he had cone to arrest Mrs. Ie Cicco on a warrant that , had been Issued on complaint of her . ex husband, Tony De Cicco. Tony 1 blamed by his former wife for separat ing her from, her children, and whenever they meet she mattes things interesting for him. When the policeman arrested her she1 pretended-not to understand, and he went with her to a place on Stark . street- where Italian laborers were at work.- On of the Italians explained . matters - to her. . -While . the , officer's back was turned Mrs. L Cief.o picked up a sledgehammer and staggered him ' with a blow on the head. With the -strength of an Amason she fought un til she had been handcuffed, when she went quietly enough to Jail. That was last summer, and .ever since she has been awaiting; trial. -' v r It Is claimed by the defense that when the woman learned that sue was belni 'arrested on complaint of her husbam she was aroused to frensy, and that she becomes irresponsible when her domes tic troubles are referred to. The defense offered 'several witnesses in support of this theory, but only a little or their testimony was-admitted. Muoh of the testimony on this line .was shut out on objection by District Attorney Cameron.-' ' . ' ' ' v ' One of the novel features of the trial was an effort to prove the woman's In sanity by reputation. H.

"Tou can say for me that there will be an outlaw league In California next year, no mat ter what some of the present managers of the California league decide to do," said Manager Cyrus Morelng of the Stockton Baseball club today. "If the present managers: of Sacramento decide to enter organised, ball as a class B proposition they can do - so, but they can expect te-less half of their stars and find them playing in an opposition club in Sacramento. A. . "I am against', organised baseball, first, last and all the time. I will not waste my time thinking; about It.

That answer is. "Because th churches lack enterprise and fall to alva their neonln thlne-s to do." If there Is a characteristic peculiar to the social life or today it is ex preajrld in the phrase it now!' This la an irt of nz-ttrm.

"Do it now!" cries Gypsy Smith and IB. 000 WaAhinartdnlana follow him on his "march against sin" into quarters of the city where they never expected to be. So it was in other cities where Gypsy Smith has been preaching. Ao tion, strenuoslty, doing, working these are the things which make the preach ing of this unlettered Romany Rye so marvelous. Billy Sunday and Others. Billy Sunday, the fastest base runner ever Known to proressionai Daseoaiiuuin, has been an evangelist for many years and is more popular and errective now than ever before. Billy Sunday preaches, the gospel Just like he used to run bases at a recora-Dreamng pace. These evanrelists and their cowork ers do not pretend that there Is a great revival now "in progress in the United States, but they hope to bring one about by preacning mis gospei oi ocuon. Australia was swept with a revival flame kindled by Torrey and Alexander, the two American evangelists who went out from the Moody 'Bible institute In Chicago Just 10 years ago. Wales was literally transformed- by the revival spirit, which began at a Sunday night prayer meeting, and which found its rreatest nronhet In Evan Roberts, a 20 rear-old coal mine laborer, who mads 5. poo converts In. the first year of bis mission. . Sates Proa Welsh aevival. The1: efforts to bring about a -. great revival In America date from the Welsh revival of 1904.

Rodnev Smith, ayosy, fell under, the Influence , of evana-eflsm when a Stna.ll boy.

Sunday 20 years aro was a- member of the famoun "Whits Stockings' baseball club of Chi cago. One day he was sitting on the curb on Van Buren street with a group of baseball companions. f rom the windows of a mission opposite floated the words of an old-fashioned hymn.

He discusses prob lems . of - the soul and religion in the Elan of the day, -fecsaklns; the con ventional King James Entllsh, which is -used by -nearly, all "regular" preachers. Preaohers are nearly always shocked by Billy Sunday, but they generally ap prove Of him. Indeed, he will not hold a meeting In a city until after every evan gelical minister In the town has signed an Invitation for him to come. Sample of Billy Slang. Describing the temptation of Christ In the mountain, Billy Sunday says: "And the devil says to Jesus, 'Are you the Son of God?' And when Jesus says yes,' the devil comes right back at him: Tm from Missouri, you 11 have to show me. Oet busy with turning these rocks Into bread and have a sauare meal.' " Very shocking, but Billy Sunday says It brings tne picture to tne minas or tne Feople. And others say in his defense, hat Jesus was upbraided for associa ting with publicans and sinners and speaking their simple language, that St. Paul was, slangy In his day,- and that it is all right for Billy Sunday to be slangy If, he does things despite tne criticism or preacners wno com plain that their churches are empty. Leaving aside all question of religious dogma, and regardle&s of what one may believe, it must .be admitted that the purpose of religious revivals Is to do good, and that great revivals have left their impress upon the history of man. Abelard. St. Francis of Asslnl Wlcllff. Luther. Savonarola. Whltefleld. Wesley all were revivalists. They did not agree as to doctrines, and the charac ter of their missions differed widely, But they all got results. The great religious revivals of American history have reflected the changes of social conditions with unerring faithfulness. Beginning with Edwards. Jonathan Edwards led , the first, be ginning about 17S5. He was a stern man and his war the voice or one call In to conscience to awake to Its duty Dutv was the keynote of the mission. but the effect was to break down nar row sectarianism In New Kn aland and to effect srreat reform In the- habits ef the people. Wesley has been dewcrtbed si " the man wno joined conscience to ranture. His great revival so affected the lives of the Ensrllsh oenple that the ordinary conversation' of the gentlefolk of the era is now wholly unfit for ears po lite. Wesley's revival was an effort to Induce men to be good in order that they mlgnt be nanny. The Wm leyan mission had Its effect In America ns in England and since his days pro- rugacy.nas own tooKea upon witlt sus picion, if not with disapproval. The fOrest Beviva-."
