MINES OF EXPLOSIVES Laid by Bighbinfa to Blow Up Their Enemies. A SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY, Which the Police Made at a Late Hour Last Night SEVERAL EXPLOSIVES CAPTURED. The Headquarters of the Ghee Kong Totgs the Chief Point of Attack—Cliina- ttwi Under Great Ex- citement The most Rensational developments in the history of the highbinder war in the Chinese quarter yet discovered were un- earthed about 10 o'clock last night when the police obtained a clew to a plot on foot to blow up the Chinese Theater on Third street. A. Chinaman of the Chee Hong Tons; Society, named Soon Ah Get, by some means learned that the Blng Kong Tong men were quietly working a desperate Hi'bemo of vengeance. He informed Night Jailer Burke, and then told Officer Naghel, that the bigh- -I'inders were working underground, and that they had II NM'.i.s IN XVI.XV DTBBCTIOW, Which undermined tho stores and houses of the Chee lloug Tong men. Naghel informed Captain Simmons, oflicer Dole and others, and though they at first placed little faith in the assertions of Soon Ah Get, tho latter was so confident and betrayed so much fear and excite- ment that the officers liually resolved to investigate. Soon Ah Got in-Kted tiiat the whole of Chinatown was undermined and that the highbinders were known to have at least a carload <>t high explosives, which they had brought from Sau Francisco in tea boxes. II > ,i RRIOI 9 SOUK Had been heard beneath some of the baso- mentsat various times for months past, and it was believed that tho whole block between Third and Fourth, I and J streets, was honeycombed with tunnels ar.d fixed with explosive mines. Proceeding to the old headquarters of tho LJing Kong Tong Society on I street, tho officers without explanation pro- led to the basement, notwithstanding tlie frantic jabbering and protests of about a dozen DKSPERATE-LOOKIXO HIOHBINDKBS In the "store."' When tho trapdoor of the basement wiis approached it was slammed down by the Chinese, but the officers l>ried it open and descended. As they did so they heard a hasty stam- pede below, wild ejaculations in Chinese, and at once the ono or two lights in the cellar were extinguished and sounds of many retreating footsteps were heard. By the time the olticers secured a light the basement was vacated, and as it had half a dozen oxits by underground pas- sagea thoy were puzzled to know which to follow. Selecting what appeared to be the pas- sage most used i '(fleers Naghel, Pole, J'.urke and Chief Rogers entered while Captain Simmons stood guard at the ether passages awaiting developments. The passage taken by the officers m enied to bo endless, but finally termi- nated in a narrow vault, at the end of \u25a0which was an excavation shaped like a shallow well. RIDDEN i:\it.ikivk«. Here was found a collection of what are believed to be the most dangerous ex- plosives, in cans and boxes, with an in- fernal machine which has a fuse at- tached, and is evidently of American j manufacture. There were several Chinese, jars and three or four gallon-tins of what is either nitre-glycerine or a Chinese explosive known as Xi Chow Xi, said to be a prep- aration of fulminate of mercury. :. The plant was evidently well arra;.. ami ready to be exploded at short notice, I and would have been sufficient to have blown up v large building, if not hall' a block. Part of the dastardly apparatus and seine of the packages were taken to the police station, ana stored in the locker in Captain Simmons' office. I \\ OF THE ".MIXF." As near as could be judged by the di- rection of tho tunnel, it is believed to t. rminate under the headquarter, ot the Chinese theater, where tho Chee Hong Tongs congregate, and that it \u25a0was the intention of the rival hiehbinu- ers to blow their works sky high and assassinate those that escaped the ex- plosion. A large quantity of cartridges, pistols, knives and other hardware was also dis- covered in the tunnel. THE KI.IMVi: HIGHBTKBBB. The officers did not succeed in making any arrests, us the gang of highbinders in the excavation escaped -by some of the other passages which are believed to con- nect with cellars in various parts of the Chinese quarter. The otiicers were very reticent last night, and it was only through the court- esy of Jailer Burke that a reporter was given the particulars and shown some of the Murderous explosives captured. CHINATOWM BXCITSDIi Tiie excitement amoDgst the Chineso increases hourly, and .the Chee Hong Tongs are almost upon the point of abandoning their houses, as they evi- dently fear going skyward at any mo- ment. A large portion of the police force was j detailed to the Chinatown beats last night, and it is believed a wholesale arreßt will ensue this morning. THE POTATO STEALERS. Cnllen Sentenced for a Yoar and Car- Judge Johnson yesterday morning pro- nounced sentence on Jack Culien and Hilly Carroll, who were convicted of burglary in the first degree for breaking into the storehouse o! S. 11. Farley and stealing thirty-live sacks of potatoes. Culien was sentenced for one year and Car- roll for a year and a half imprisonment at Folsom. roll for a Tear anil a Bald The prisoners are both young men, and Culien does not seem to be a hardened criminal. Carroll, however, by his de- meanor, has impressed almost every ono with the idea that he is a tough case and hardened in the ways of vice. No ex- pressions of sympathy for him are heard among tho officers with whom he has come in contact, while many think Cul- ien v as led astray by him. "When Judge Johnson asked them if they had auy reason to give why judg- ment should not be pronounced upon them, they both asked him to be lenient. Carroll said that ho had never been in trouble before and would take care never to be in such a situation aguu. In pronouncing sentence, the court stated that on account of their youth ho ielt disinclined to give them a long sen- tence, and hoped that when they came out they would bo prepared to lead better lives. Jlo had known Cnllen's father, who was a good citizen and well thought <.\u25a0: by those who knew him, and ho whs sorry to .see his sou in this situation, lie thought, however, ho said, that young Carroll was devoid exf feeling, from vari- ous things that Uavedevfclopedduring the trial, aim especially from the remarks he had made concerning his counsel, who had worked hard and done all he could to prevent their conviction, had done it gratuitously and deserved thanks at the liunds of the prisoners, instead of atiuse. i arroll therefore received the heavier sentence of the two. Culien was taken to l'olsom last night by Deputy Sheriff Johnson and Carroll will betaken to-day. A SMOOTH OPERATOR. A Man Who Numbers Amonir His Ke- la; lon- Most of the Population. Police Captain Simmons learned last night that the man who several weeks ac,o swindled a number of residents of this city and the surrounding country by false representations, was in the city. He was located at the Grand Hotel, at Front and X streets, where he was found by i ifiicers Naghol and Dole, and placed under arrest. Last night he gave his inline as C. P. Ctirleton, but he conducted his operations under a large number of aliases. His alleged mode of swindling was to represent, himself as a relative of his in- tended victim and then secure money un- der various pretexts. It is said that he obtained money from K. A. Renwick, M. A. Baxter, It. Cav- erly, W. 11. Kinross, C. S. Patrick and other well-known rosidents of this city, to all of whom he professed relation. He bad a note-book in his pocket in which were entered the following names: C. 11. Cummings, J. Huntoon, .1. H. Cooley, Sol Kunyou, E. K. Alsip and T. W. Barton, and it is presumed he in- tended to call upon them and explain how ho was related to them or their fami- lies. IRISH NATIONALISTS. They Will Hold Their Annual Reunion nt Enst Park. Tho eleventh annual reunion and games of tho Irish Nationalists will be held at East Park on Sunday, May :Mh, under the auspices of the Robert Emmet Club. F.

A Meteoric, Patriotic, nistorlo and ISrilUant Lecture by an Impas- sioned Orator. Key. J. B. Koehno delivered a lecture last evening, at the Congregational Church, to an audience that tiilo-1 thti spacious auditorium to its utmost ca- pacity. , The lecture was tendered by the pastor to his church, that by its proceeds the fund for recent improvements may be augmented. The lecture was announced as complimentary to the church—the people made it complimentary to the lecturer. Certainly no speaker could de- sire or expect in this city a liner or kind- lier audience. Yet wo imagine that tho lecture was somewhat disappointing, not that the rise, growth and destiny of "Tho New- Aristocracy" was not brilliantly sketched, eloquently word painted; not that the lecturer was not earnest, and that be did not rise frequently to the lovels of the finest eloquence, and that be did not adorn his discourse with the rarest imag- ery and grace it with tho architecture of ornate construction and breathe into it the spirit of true oratory. For all this was done, and done so easily, naturally, an.l with so little ap- parent seeking for effect as to make it a model of modesty—but, and only lor this was it disappointing; the speaker w.is too rapid in delivery lirst. and he grasped so much and crowded his metaphors and marshaled his parallels with such light- umg-like rapidity; ho so piled tho cen- turies atop of one another, and punctu- ated them with the most concise but .i. e- tnc flashes ot character painting: lilled Jii£ figure! with the immortal names and deeds of men, and made his procession of historical citations swuep on with such velocity that it was difficult, bewilderiug. for the average hearer in such an audience to follow him. In other words, an.l this without dis- respect to the audience, it could not think of and apply the bristling proofs as rapidly as the accomplished speaker d< iivered them, without too much effort, Not that there are not other speakers who are rapid-lire orators fust a- is .Mr. Koehne; but there are few, if any, who are such rapid-lire thinkers with a subject in hand whose historical parallels and historical syllogisms bound the Held of action with a general audience in the foreground. Mr. Koehne delivered in forty minutes a lecture that ought to Dave covered an hour fully, and would hold such an audience for that time in periect content and deepest interest. Mr. Koehno has ali the elements, except deliberative de- livery, of a popular lecturer, lie is a historical student, a historical interpre- ter, an accurate reasoner, brilliant in his wit, strong in his array of proofs, clear in his argument, prophetic in his forecast.-. and he marshals his metaphors, and maneuvers his witnesses and lays his parallels with tho skill of tho master tactician and the practiced General. There is vigor to intensity, earnestness to the heart of passiouate delivery, con- viction that brooks no doubt and tolerates no thought of insincerity, in his manage- ment, his style and his delivery. Ad- miration quickens into something better as one hears such a speaker. To attempt a report in brief of the lec- ture would be failure to present an ade- quate idea of it. We fancy that it would read like an epic; that in print it would sound for tolerance, broadness of thought, liberty, tho dignity of labor, the march of progress, freedom of press and pulpit and men, bugle blasts from every set line. in a few words, the "new aristocracy" of which .Mr. Koehno lectures is the aristocracy of freo man- hood, untrammeled thought, dignified labor, uplifted womanhood, the honest ballot, a free press, popular education, and a manhood not priest-ridden. It is an aristocracy of humanity, of which the poet Job sang in lamentation; an aristocracy of knowledge for which Homer stood; an aristocracy of progress, of winch Dante struck the keynote in prophetic poetry; an aristocracy of man- hood which Shakespeare contemplated and of which he wrote with a pen dipped in the blood of races. The lecturer is an intense believer in the doctrine that the poets are the true prophets; that they set the goal for the race to civilization that is best, that lilts up and purifies and commits itself .to re- ligion to consecrate. The difference be- tween savagery and tho noblest manhood is the difference between looking without and looking within. The difference, to give a sample of his ligures, between Henry Clay and a Sioux Indian is the difference between tho clothed ami the naked mind. Strip Clay of the result of refining influences, of the discipline ot mind, of the cultivated intellect, and he would have been little more than tho Sioux. Into this nineteenth century, ho | held, has been precipitated, by the logic oi all tho centuries tnathave gone before, the problems that are the product of all with which they dealt, and those prob- lems, in the hands of the American people, and in their solution, bound and measure the new aristocracy of Intel- tact; the aristocracy that knelled the doom of tyranny and slavery, and the divine right of kings, and the domi- nance of priestcraft and ignorance, and has so lifted and conserved all progress thai almost to all men all things arc pos- sible, and the ballot trembles in tho lingers of those who were but yesterday slavos. The lash has not beaten manhood out of me .-lave-, nor Custer's arms crushed out ; savag.-s; but liberty, unlighiment, books, ans, reason, humanity, religion have \u25a0 \u25a0'c.i for the slave the hope of man- hood, and for the Indian the possibility Of civilisation, and given thoni and ail others leave to think. ILs rapid sketching of the invisible forces of historic time was brilliant, and bis onclusionssound. His tributes were very fine to genius snd mind that put rope the hunchback, Byron tho cripple and Shakespeare, whose breath smelled oi gin, upon the role of the true aris- .-.

The aristocracy of the monarch i and the priest went down ami.Ist the nch.st civilization of the past, and it lies a skeleton upon the banks of the Nile; the aristocracy of classes perished in the midst of the intellectual and magnificent . civilization of Athens. Hut in America the new aristocrat, triumphant over monarch, priest and i lass, v the citizen j with the ballot. If such a heritage la his. argued the orator, how sacred a thing j should be the exercise of the power Ci confers. Whence, he asked, did it come, this I liberty that gives us the now aristocracy* Born in Egypt, throttled, protesting, a j thousand years, it became a war cry in ; the eastern hemisphere, and ushered in I tho Christ who taught the brotherhood of man. It was for four hundred years the bono of contention between rulers and ruled, the object of persecution and mar- tyrdom, and came at last through the elevation of woman, the demonstration of the right to be free and think free, the trial by jury, tho establishment of the right of self-government, the dignity of labor, to be the heritage of this people, in a democracy that is the throne of the now aristocracy. It Was an Evil Spirit. "Tho Bolivian Government," said A.mos J. Thomas, "recently attempted to establish a telephone line between Lapas and Lake Titicaca, forty-five miles apart. It was torn down an. l destroyed so fre- quently by the Indians that tiie Govern- ment was compelled to abandon it. Tho electric light in Lapas was [.reserved by adopting an ingenious method of over- awing the natives. Alter tho plant had been in operation but a few nights it hap- pened that there was an eclipse of the moon. The superstitious Indians be- lieved that the electric light was absorb- ing or swallowing the moon. They gatn- ered iii a large body at one quarter of the town and moved upon the plant to de- stroy it. It was saved only by tho inter- vention of a large body of troops. The Government tho next day selected sev- eral representative Indians, took them to the power-house, shocked them severely, then look them out along tho lino and shocked them again with the wires ami informed them that tht> electric light uas an evil spirit and they had better lease it alone. Since then they have had no trouble on that score."—Washington Star.

Tularo Regixter: Thero are unemployed in Sun Francisco as in all cities, but there aro not the alleged thousands. Further- more, California is able to relieve any cases of destitution found within the Stale Appeals for outside help an; un- warranted and mischievous. When wholesale charity from outside is needed tho fact will be proclaimed through au- thorized sources, and not loft to advent- urers without standing or backing. San Jose Herald: Let us hope that, while the city authorities are looking about them for money with wliich to ihk^u many needed improvements, they will not overlook ono prolific source of 1 revenue. They may be quite d ctain that j thoy could raise the liquor licenses to at least a thousand dollars a year with the approval of four-fifths of the people of the city. There are at least ono hundred and fifty saloons in the city, and while \ a license of a thousand dollars a year I might compel half of them to close, the other half would pay into the city treas- ury J75,000 quite :i nice little i sum in addition to that raised by ordinary taxation, l! willbuild a garbage crematory, go a long way in the improve- ment of streets, and relieve the Council from the alleged necessity of transferring money from one fund to another without the slightest warrant of law. And such a license on saloons would not only greatly increase-the revenues of the city, : and thus relievo the burdens of tho tax- payers directly, but it would also tend to decrease vice and immorality, and thus lessen the cost of providing for paupers and criminals. It would also remove the dens that now defile and disgrace the residence streets of the city, ami bring the liquor trailic moro fully under the supervision of tuo police. Oakland Times: Tho Infanta Eulalia has set the hearts of our "social leaders" in a flutter by announcing that she in- tends to visit California ou the oca oi her next royal progress through this country. Imagine the Princess holding a reception in ban Francisco or < Oakland ! het your imagination picture the bowing down, the back crooking, the servile homage of our local Four Hundred. What a scramble is in prospect by maidens and matrons to kiss the taper- ing tips of tho royal digits maidens whose pedigree dates back to the time "when the water came op to Montgom- ery street"; matrons whose husban Is "tended bar" in the early days preceding the Washoo excitement and who bought their right to "move in the best society" with gold robbed from washerwomen, dressmakers, kitchen girls and chamberm- aids foolish enough to "invest in stocks" manipulated by the band tho CoinstocK and bonanza brigands. The "society" of New York is very "raw"; the social conditions of Chicago are tough; but the "swell sei" of San Francisco fairly reeks with rottenness. It the Infanta comes to California we hope for her own sake that she will travel "incognito." Los Angeie.s Herald: It is not what we think of ourselves but what others think i of us \\ hich makes or mars us. All of us are inclined to boast of our own—especi- ally we dwellers in new places of wliich ! we are fond.

MINES OF EXPLOSIVES

Laid by Bighbinfa to Blow UpTheir Enemies.

A SENSATIONAL DISCOVERY,

Which the Police Made at a LateHour Last Night

SEVERAL EXPLOSIVES CAPTURED.

The Headquarters of the Ghee Kong Totgsthe Chief Point of Attack—Cliina-

ttwi Under Great Ex-citement

The most Rensational developments in

the history of the highbinder war in the

Chinese quarter yet discovered were un-earthed about 10 o'clock last night when

the police obtained a clew to a plot on

foot to blow up the Chinese Theater on

Third street.A. Chinaman of the Chee Hong Tons;

Society, named Soon Ah Get, by somemeans learned that the Blng Kong Tong

men were quietly working a desperateHi'bemo of vengeance.

He informed Night Jailer Burke, andthen told Officer Naghel, that the bigh--I'inders were working underground, and

that they hadII NM'.i.s IN XVI.XV DTBBCTIOW,

Which undermined tho stores and housesof the Chee lloug Tong men. Naghelinformed Captain Simmons, oflicer Doleand others, and though they at firstplaced little faith in the assertions of SoonAh Get, tho latter was so confidentand betrayed so much fear and excite-ment that the officers liually resolved toinvestigate.

Soon Ah Got in-Kted tiiat the whole of

Chinatown was undermined and that thehighbinders were known to have at least

a carload <>t high explosives, which theyhad brought from Sau Francisco in teaboxes.

II > ,i RRIOI 9 SOUK

Had been heard beneath some of the baso-mentsat various times for months past,and it was believed that tho whole block

between Third and Fourth, I and Jstreets, was honeycombed with tunnelsar.d fixed with explosive mines.

Proceeding to the old headquarters oftho LJing Kong Tong Society on I street,tho officers without explanation pro-

led to the basement, notwithstandingtlie frantic jabbering and protests of abouta dozen

DKSPERATE-LOOKIXO HIOHBINDKBSIn the "store."' When tho trapdoor of thebasement wiisapproached itwas slammeddown by the Chinese, but the officers

l>ried it open and descended.As they did so they heard a hasty stam-

pede below, wild ejaculations in Chinese,and at once the ono or two lights in thecellar were extinguished and sounds ofmany retreating footsteps were heard.

By the time the olticers secured a light

the basement was vacated, and as it hadhalf a dozen oxits by underground pas-

sagea thoy were puzzled to know which

to follow.Selecting what appeared to be the pas-

sage most used i '(fleers Naghel, Pole,J'.urke and Chief Rogers entered whileCaptain Simmons stood guard at theether passages awaiting developments.

The passage taken by the officers

m enied to bo endless, but finally termi-nated in a narrow vault, at the end of\u25a0which was an excavation shaped like a

shallow well.

RIDDEN i:\it.ikivk«.

Here was found a collection of what are

believed to be the most dangerous ex-

plosives, in cans and boxes, with an in-fernal machine which has a fuse at-tached, and is evidently of American jmanufacture.

There were several Chinese, jars andthree or four gallon-tins of what is eithernitre-glycerine or a Chinese explosiveknown as Xi Chow Xi, said to be a prep-aration of fulminate of mercury.:. The plant was evidently well arra;..

ami ready to be exploded at short notice, Iand would have been sufficient to haveblown up v large building, if not hall' a

block.Part of the dastardly apparatus and

seine of the packages were taken to thepolice station, ana stored in the locker inCaptain Simmons' office.

I \\ OF THE ".MIXF."As near as could be judged by the di-

rection of tho tunnel, it is believed to

t. rminate under the headquarter,ot the Chinese theater, where thoChee Hong Tongs congregate, and that it\u25a0was the intention of the rival hiehbinu-ers to blow their works sky high and

assassinate those that escaped the ex-

plosion.A large quantity of cartridges, pistols,

knives and other hardware was also dis-

covered in the tunnel.

THE KI.IMVi: HIGHBTKBBB.

The officers did not succeed in making

any arrests, us the gang of highbinders in

the excavation escaped -by some of theother passages which are believed to con-

nect with cellars in various parts of the

Chinese quarter.

The otiicers were very reticent last

night, and it was only through the court-

esy of Jailer Burke that a reporter was

given the particulars and shown some ofthe Murderous explosives captured.

CHINATOWM BXCITSDIiTiie excitement amoDgst the Chineso

increases hourly, and .the Chee HongTongs are almost upon the point ofabandoning their houses, as they evi-dently fear going skyward at any mo-

ment.A large portion of the police force was j

detailed to the Chinatown beats last night,and it is believed a wholesale arreßt willensue this morning.

THE POTATO STEALERS.Cnllen Sentenced for a Yoar and Car-

Judge Johnson yesterday morning pro-nounced sentence on Jack Culien andHilly Carroll, who were convicted ofburglary in the first degree for breakinginto the storehouse o! S. 11. Farley andstealing thirty-live sacks of potatoes.Culien was sentenced for one year and Car-roll for a year and a half imprisonmentat Folsom.

roll for a Tear anil a Bald

The prisoners are both young men, andCulien does not seem to be a hardenedcriminal. Carroll, however, by his de-meanor, has impressed almost every onowith the idea that he is a tough case andhardened in the ways of vice. No ex-pressions of sympathy for him are heardamong tho officers with whom he hascome incontact, while many think Cul-ien v as led astray by him.

"When Judge Johnson asked them ifthey had auy reason to give why judg-ment should not be pronounced uponthem, they both asked him to be lenient.Carroll said that ho had never been introuble before and would take care neverto be in such a situation aguu.

In pronouncing sentence, the courtstated that on account of their youth hoielt disinclined to give them a long sen-tence, and hoped that when they cameout they would bo prepared to lead betterlives. Jlo had known Cnllen's father,who was a good citizen and well thought<.\u25a0: by those who knew him, and ho whssorry to .see his sou in this situation, liethought, however, ho said, that youngCarroll was devoid exf feeling, from vari-ous things that Uavedevfclopedduring thetrial, aim especially from the remarks hehad made concerning his counsel, whohad worked hard and done all he could toprevent their conviction, had done itgratuitously and deserved thanks at theliunds of the prisoners, instead of atiuse.

i arroll therefore received the heaviersentence of the two. Culien was taken tol'olsom last night by Deputy SheriffJohnson and Carroll will betaken to-day.

A SMOOTH OPERATOR.A Man Who Numbers Amonir His Ke-

la; lon- Most of the Population.Police Captain Simmons learned last

night that the man who several weeksac,o swindled a number of residents ofthis city and the surrounding country byfalse representations, was in the city.

He was located at the Grand Hotel, atFront and X streets, where he was foundby i ifiicers Naghol and Dole, and placedunder arrest.

Last night he gave his inline as C. P.Ctirleton, but he conducted his operationsunder a large number of aliases.

His alleged mode of swindling was torepresent, himself as a relative of his in-tended victim and then secure money un-der various pretexts.

It is said that he obtained money fromK. A. Renwick, M. A. Baxter, It. Cav-erly, W. 11. Kinross, C. S. Patrick andother well-known rosidents of this city,to all of whom he professed relation.

He bad a note-book in his pocket inwhich were entered the following names:C. 11. Cummings, J. Huntoon, .1. H.Cooley, Sol Kunyou, E. K. Alsip and T.W. Barton, and it is presumed he in-tended to call upon them and explainhow ho was related to them or their fami-lies.

Some Complexion Dont's.Don't bathe in hard water: soften it

with a few drops ofammonia or a littleborax.

Don't bathe your face while it is verywarm, and never use very cold waterfor it.

Don't.wash your face while traveling,unless it is with alcohol and water or"alittle vaseline.

Don't attempt to remove dust withc. Id water; give your face a hot bath, andgive it a good rinsing with tepid water.

lion't use a sponge or a linen rag foryour face; choose instead a soft flannelone.

Never rub your face with a coarsetowei; just remember that it is notof cast iron, ana treat itas you would thefinest porcelain—gently and delicately.

Don't believe you can eet rid of wrin-kles by tilling in the crevices with pow-der. Instead, give your face a !;\u25a0..lath every night—that is, bathe it withwater so hot thai you wonder how youcan stand it. and then a minute after withcold water that will make it glow- withwarmlb: dry it with a soft towel and gotobed. and you ought to sleep like a baby,while your skin is crowing firmer andfree from wrinkles and you are resting.

In the cemetery at Marietta. Ga., thereis an infant's grave that attracts attentionof visitors to that plac«. There is doheadstone, but resting on top of the gravois a glass box containing the playthingsthe littleone had before its death.

THE NEW ARISTOCRACY.

Lecture by Rev. J. B. Koehne LastNight.

A Meteoric, Patriotic, nistorlo and

ISrilUant Lecture by an Impas-

sioned Orator.

Key. J. B. Koehno delivered a lecturelast evening, at the CongregationalChurch, to an audience that tiilo-1 thtispacious auditorium to its utmost ca-pacity., The lecture was tendered by the pastorto his church, that by its proceeds thefund for recent improvements may beaugmented. The lecture was announcedas complimentary to the church—thepeople made it complimentary to thelecturer. Certainly no speaker could de-sire or expect in this city a liner or kind-lier audience.

Yet wo imagine that tho lecture wassomewhat disappointing, not that therise, growth and destiny of "Tho New-Aristocracy" was not brilliantly sketched,eloquently word painted; not that thelecturer was not earnest, and that be didnot rise frequently to the lovels of thefinest eloquence, and that be did notadorn his discourse with the rarest imag-ery and grace it with tho architecture ofornate construction and breathe into itthe spirit of true oratory.

For all this was done, and done soeasily, naturally, an.l with so little ap-parent seeking for effect as to make it amodel of modesty—but, and only lor thiswas it disappointing; the speaker w.istoo rapid in delivery lirst. and he graspedso much and crowded his metaphors andmarshaled his parallels with such light-umg-like rapidity; ho so piled tho cen-turies atop of one another, and punctu-ated them with the most concise but .i. e-tnc flashes ot character painting:lilled Jii£ figure! with the immortalnames and deeds of men, and made hisprocession of historical citations swuep onwith such velocity that it was difficult,bewilderiug. for the average hearer insuch an audience tofollow him.

In other words, an.l this without dis-respect to the audience, it could not thinkof and apply the bristling proofs asrapidly as the accomplished speaker d<iivered them, without too much effort,Not that there are not other speakerswho are rapid-lire orators fust a-is .Mr. Koehne; but there are few, ifany, who are such rapid-lire thinkerswith a subject in hand whose historicalparallels and historical syllogisms boundthe Held ofaction with a general audiencein the foreground.

Mr. Koehne delivered in forty minutesa lecture that ought to Dave covered anhour fully, and would hold such anaudience for that time in periect contentand deepest interest. Mr. Koehno hasali the elements, except deliberative de-livery, of a popular lecturer, lie is ahistorical student, a historical interpre-ter, an accurate reasoner, brilliant in hiswit, strong in his array of proofs, clear inhis argument, prophetic in his forecast.-.and he marshals his metaphors, andmaneuvers his witnesses and lays hisparallels with tho skill of tho mastertactician and the practiced General.

There is vigor to intensity, earnestnessto the heart of passiouate delivery, con-viction that brooks no doubt and toleratesno thought of insincerity, in his manage-ment, his style and his delivery. Ad-miration quickens into something betteras one hears such a speaker.

To attempt a report in brief of the lec-ture would be failure to present an ade-quate idea of it. We fancy that it wouldread like an epic; that in print it wouldsound fortolerance, broadness of thought,liberty, tho dignity of labor, the march ofprogress, freedom of press and pulpitand men, bugle blasts from everyset line. in a few words, the "newaristocracy" of which .Mr. Koehnolectures is the aristocracy of freo man-hood, untrammeled thought, dignifiedlabor, uplifted womanhood, the honestballot, a free press, popular education,and a manhood not priest-ridden.

It is an aristocracy of humanity, ofwhich the poet Job sang in lamentation;an aristocracy of knowledge for whichHomer stood; an aristocracy of progress,of winch Dante struck the keynote inprophetic poetry; an aristocracy of man-hood which Shakespeare contemplatedand of which he wrote with a pen dippedin the blood of races.

The lecturer is an intense believer inthe doctrine that the poets are the trueprophets; that they set the goal for therace to civilization that is best, that liltsup and purifies and commits itself.to re-ligion to consecrate. The difference be-tween savagery and tho noblest manhoodis the difference between looking withoutand looking within. The difference, togive a sample of his ligures, betweenHenry Clay and a Sioux Indian is thedifference between tho clothed ami thenaked mind. Strip Clay of the result ofrefining influences, of the discipline otmind, of the cultivated intellect, and hewould have been little more than thoSioux. Into this nineteenth century, ho

| held, has been precipitated, by the logicoi all tho centuries tnathave gone before,the problems that are the product of allwith which they dealt, and those prob-lems, in the hands of the Americanpeople, and in their solution, bound andmeasure the new aristocracy of Intel-tact; the aristocracy that knelled thedoom of tyranny and slavery, and thedivine right of kings, and the domi-nance of priestcraft and ignorance, andhas so lifted and conserved all progressthai almost to all men all things arc pos-sible, and the ballot trembles in tholingers of those who were but yesterdayslavos.

The lash has not beaten manhood out ofme .-lave-, nor Custer's arms crushed out; savag.-s; but liberty, unlighiment, books,ans, reason, humanity, religion have\u25a0 \u25a0'c.i for the slave the hope ofman-hood, and for the Indian the possibilityOfcivilisation, and given thoni and ailothers leave to think.

It was for four hundred years thebono of contention between rulers andruled, the object of persecution and mar-tyrdom, and came at last through theelevation of woman, the demonstrationof the right to be free and think free, thetrial by jury, tho establishment of theright of self-government, the dignity oflabor, to be the heritage of this people, ina democracy that is the throne of the nowaristocracy.

It Was an Evil Spirit."Tho Bolivian Government," said

A.mos J. Thomas, "recently attempted toestablish a telephone line between Lapasand Lake Titicaca, forty-five miles apart.It was torn down an. l destroyed so fre-quently by the Indians that tiie Govern-ment was compelled to abandon it. Thoelectric light in Lapas was [.reserved byadopting an ingenious method of over-awing the natives. Alter tho plant hadbeen in operation but a few nights it hap-pened that there was an eclipse of themoon. The superstitious Indians be-lieved that the electric light was absorb-ing or swallowing the moon. They gatn-ered iii a large body at one quarter of thetown and moved upon the plant to de-stroy it. It was saved only by tho inter-vention of a large body of troops. TheGovernment tho next day selected sev-eral representative Indians, took them tothe power-house, shocked them severely,then look them out along tho lino andshocked them again with the wires amiinformed them that tht> electric light uasan evil spirit and they had better lease italone.

San Jose Herald: Let us hope that,while the city authorities are lookingabout them for money with wliich toihk^u many needed improvements, theywillnot overlook ono prolific source of

\ a license of a thousand dollars a yearI might compel half of them to close, theother half would pay into the city treas-ury J75,000 — quite :i nice little

i sum in addition to that raised byordinary taxation, l! willbuild a garbagecrematory, go a long way in the improve-ment of streets, and relieve the Councilfrom the alleged necessity of transferringmoney from one fund to another withoutthe slightest warrant of law. And sucha license on saloons would not onlygreatly increase-the revenues of the city,

: and thus relievo the burdens of tho tax-payers directly, but it would also tend todecrease vice and immorality, and thuslessen the cost of providing for paupersand criminals. Itwould also remove thedens that now defile and disgrace theresidence streets of the city, ami bringthe liquor trailic moro fully under thesupervision oftuo police.
