BOOTH'S COLONIES. The Latest Schema for Uplifting Fallen Humanity. Dr. Stebbins' Views on the Salvation Army. A Mighty Undertaking—He Hopes and Thiuks It Will Do Good. ' '• • '\u25a0'*5«» * ' ' \u25a0 '.; Pr. Stebbins had his choir sing "Hold the Fort" last nijiht b?fore be commenced n dis- cussion of the scheme which Rev. William JNioth, General of the Salvation Army, has subiiitttcd as a solution uf ihe social prob- lem in his recently published book "In Darkest England, and the Way Out," The old tune was heard with manifest satisfac- tion by ir.any of the congregation, and served "the s exker as a starting point for a description of tlie army, niusic-leuders and theology. An organization that now has 4000 stations and H'.ioOi flicers wns worthy, the speaker (nought, (i more than casual attention. Its metl'.iU is that of continuous religious re- vivalism—the revivalism that was known I. the world 10U years ngo. Its central idea is that there Is no human being that may not come back to God and have a home in the heavenly mansion. It his produced great remits in mm.bers. General Booth cbi'uiug that it has rescued tens of thou- sands. A NKW lIEI'AKTUKE. Yet he has come to the conclusion that to carry out bit wcrk there must be a new de- parture fn.ui the present plan. lit) believes that a man's lieait must be reached before he can he reformed, but BOTH have fnll-n so low tliat they are too weak or too despairing tc ,-ir/e the ro;e that is cc cf out to them, and he iias invented a plan »or aiding these ftt'ilo.u and wittehed people. Booth is above all things a great organizer, one of the greatest the world has ever known. He has a comprehensive knowl- edge of human rsßture, and he has adapted ullliis method to the kir.d of men he wishes tv miluence. The hymns of the army are Dot so lovely, so tender, nor so pathetic a? the hymns of the negroes. They have noth- ing so sweet and tender as "Swing low, sweet cl arioi"; or TUe old rc-.ijioc. tl.e old religion That was good en.-ncli lor mi;dder, I> i.- oU enough for me. But the armytunesarc amazincly realistic. . Then- is the Inspiration of the fife and drum in them. Booth intends that thi- religion shall have s*>ine staying power, so he is oanniztng ci lonics for the reclamation of tlie. nasciabio and dispaking ye pie of London. IX DARKEST ENGLAND. In the city of J. mini, living in different grades of poverty aid destitution, there are i million jieopie, three times as many to be fed, clothed and housed as there are people in this city. Thei: condition is worse, so says Booth, than anything Stauley found in Darkest Africa. Every attempt to help them has been unavailing. Booth hns aided tliou.sands.bul the;aby.-sstillyawns?o he will try to muster them inio the army which is an organization in which everybody must obey orders. It is p sitive, arbitrary and abso- lute. The Chorea of Koine has no such power as it exercises. Uooth can send to one of his officers in California, India or llexiro, and at ti moment's notice transfer him to the other end of the world, and if th.tt man disobeys he has no alternative but to return to his old condition, more hopeless than before. His plan is to found colonies In city, coun- try ai.d beyond the sea for the out-of-work cla^s^s. In the city colony they will be given si me easy employment by which tbey will be enabled to cam their board. He now lias a host emplojed in Loudon making benches for the stations throughout the world. These receive no money, lint are fed nnii given a daily opportunity to seek for permanent employment. Country colonies, who will be recruited from the city, will be {Oared <iv farms and instructed in the mysteries ol agriculture. The same course will lie pursued with those who are sent be- yond the seas. It is intended that in t!i« i':ty ci lonies there shall be associated simple schemes of comfort and relaxation. London is about seventy miles from the sea, and many of its unf< rtauates never get a glimpse ~ of the ocean. General iioolh intends that tWy stall have the means of going to the shore, aud he will propose to the roads to carry them for one penny and back. KXOI.AXD WOTI.D PAVE MOSEY. England now pays £10,000,000 a year Sor the support of the poor, and Booth wants £1,000,000 witii wtiicb to carry out his plans, lie thiuk tlii« would be a saving to the country. He will strike to the vitals of the existing evils and destroy their powers. He will awaken the lit'ait of the man and take him away from his surroundings. The General is meeting with a generous ri'-ponse to iiis appeal. He is receiving rifts of £20, £Kio, £1000, aud even £10,000. lie wiil have the money, and will have in his hand-! one of the greatest enterprises on earth. \\ ithin the last few days clouds have ap- peared upon the horizon, tliat to some minds threaten the success of llm scheme. People are beginning to find Haws in the plan. Suppose Booth should have DOOO men on his .arm and 500. of them will not obey. Hs i;m ot make them obey. It would require ;i remodeling of the laws at England. The plan may fail. Itut suppose that it d i-s fail. It will bave thrown more light on the '"submerged tenth" than the world has ever seen. In conclusion Dr. Stebbius spoke hope- fully of Booth's plan, and reminded his htarers that fue world owes some of its greatest debts Co men who have been uh- SUCCt'SSJUL THE USE OF TOBACCO. A Lecturer Snys i.t.-n Christian Women Smoke Cigarette*. At the Union-Square baptist Church last night Mrs. W. U. Bullock, lecturer of the National Woman's Christian Temperance ; Union, delivered an interesting address, Ui which she advanced many reasons why the use of narcotics, and particularly tobacco, sbiuld be restricted. Alluding to the Indian statues nsed as tobacco signs, she said: "These statues 6eem to say: 'You drove us from our homes nnd wo are powerless to redress our wrongs, hut we leave you thi* weed, which will con- tinue destruction and death when the arrow and tomahawk are forgotten.' " Airs. .Bullock said thi» use of narcotics lies ;at the root of t: c drinking evil. Tobacco. atooboL opium and its derivations have a t'aneful effect upon the brain, heart and btoinach. They excite, depress and de- range thf functions of the body, weaken . »nd depress the moral sensibiliiies. The sin sltluts the third and fourth generation iind in ano more, striking instance is the sin of the father visited on his children. The lady also paid her respects to cigarettes, pitying that tliey are four poisons ahead in the race, for death. Tweuty-threb States liaVß prohibited the sale of tubacco to per- sons nuder Uh age of 16. The liabit of cigarette smoking, Mrs. Bullock declared, is .spreading to an alarming extent, and many Indie? who belong to Christian churches have acQiiired the habit. In the United States gliuo, 000,000 are spent yearly for to- bacco, and with this vast sum all the suffer- ing I'oor in the uuiou could be clotl'.t-o, fed mid sheltered. NO APPOINTMENTS YET.

His visit t<, the city is for the purpose of meet- ing ti:«* newly elected Senators who are tx- I ccted here daily, and to confer with them as U> tneir preferences concerning the vari- ous appointments on committees. Air. Krtiiilck also srates that the rumors that Governor-elect Murk ham was seriously ill at l'asadena were undoubtedly greatly ex:igerated. as his latest advices were to the t-ffoct that the Governor's indisposition was very slight and hardly worth mentioning. TRINITY CHURCH. Special Christmas Service for the S;<ml«v- Schuol Children. Last evening a special Christinas service . was held at Trinity Cathedral for the Sun* day-school children and young people of the I'Hilsli, win) had enjoyed a Christmas festi- val the night previous. '1 he children, who numbered close upon 200, entered the church • in a Ix.dy before the services began, singing a Christmas ear.'l as they approached the cbatoct-L The services consisted largely of musical selections, in which the children and a large congregation joined. A brief but very intf'ivsting address was made to the "young people by Assistant Bishop Nichols, who described the martyrdom of St Stephen, St. JoUu and the Holy Inno- cents whose feasts have been celebrated during the past three day?, and catechised the children in a fatherly way at the close of his discourse on all that he bad told them. After the benediction the pupils of the Sunday-school reformed in procession and left tlie cliureli singing one of. their liniple hymns-as they went. TYPOS IN COUNCIL. Various Questions of Importance Dis- posed Of. There was an unusually large attendance yesterday at the monthly meeting of Typo- graphical Union. No..2l,which was presided . over by President Jenner. President Val- entine of the Iron-nioliers' Union took .ad- vantage of that to lay before the printers some of the inside history of the strike against the foundrymen, who, he assured iiis hearers, were now in their last ditch. His union, he said, was deeply grateful to the printers for their generous aid, through ; the continuance of which they hoped soo^ to win the day. Tlie Secretary's and Treasurer's reports showed that $43S' 45 had been 'collected dur- ing the month for dues and initiation fees and Ssil 30 for assessments. Of the latter amount, $80 00 wns given the striking core- ninkers, §324 40 to the iron-uiolders and &4UO 30 to t:.e striking printers in Los Angeles. A heHted discussion followed on the report of the Executive Committee that the. Journal uf Commerce was nut paying the scale, and a strcnge desire wus evinced by the more radical members to cnll tlie union men out mili'ss full prices were paid. On tlie show- ing, that a d.inVrence of opinion existed over the classification of the work,'the whole matter was eventually referred back to the Executive Committee with directions to re- port what in their judgment should be classed as time work and what as depart- ment work. The Committee on By-laws and Constitu- tion reported progress, and were glveji an additional month iv which tv complete their labors. It was ordered that the new regu- lations shiuld be printed as rapidly as po*- sible and distributed among the members, so tuat they could bu intormed of the changes before Ueiug called ui>on to vole on them. U he \u25a0\u25a0.!..::..::. c of investigation into the conduct ot Messrs. Busltnell snd Tliurniaii presented an able re purl m which both men were unanimously acquitted of the. charges alleged against them. It was proved to the enure satisiactinn of the committee that in tie business uff-hirt manufacturers the firm did not interfere with Urn nffair* of the Shirt-mnkers' Union and also thai the only time when they employed Chinese labor was in the laundiying of now work, which they could not i re vail uiou white laundries to accept. The investigation was a very searching one niul fuliy exonerated the two gt'iitlemtn fri.in ull bl«;me. The report was uuanimously adopted.

A large congregation assembled In the First Presbyterian Church last night to par- ticipate in the Christinas services. The music, which was a| piopriate to the occa- sion, wai rendered, under the direction oi Professor Otto Fieissner. by a quartet choir. Rev. Dr. Stewart deiiveied the ser- mon, taking for his text the words "Glory to God in the highest, aiid on earth peace, good will toward men," with the context, " Ye shall rind a batie, wrapped in swaddling clothes. Iving in a manger." " So," lin said, " a prince nf the house of David vas born in a stable, although angels -«a:._ at his birth. Iv th;itago the advent of a prince of peace was something novel, al- though the appfarnnee of a prince of war was an old story. That God was a universal father and man a brother was a startling statement that In those days, when the Jew- ish church reaarued nil who were not within tlie pale of the synagogue with hatred and contempt. The fiatkn had lost the spirit of religion, but still clung tn the letter. They had cast away tho kernel, but still held the shell. When Jesus Christ appeared it wns not refoimrition but revolution which was needed. 'Jhc Hebrew religion was national not cosmopolitan; exclusive, not iuclusive; Jewish, not Christian; cistern, not west- ern. In this condition Christ found the world. His coming marked a new era in (ur history. To him and to his teachings most be ascribed all the cooil now iv the world, the morality, happiness and progress; and co we <-liould praise Ou:t for the gift of his sin. This happy season should be cele- brated with song, for so the angels heralded the ur>t Christmas, and we should never have a sonaless Christinas nor a songless religion. There are some Christians who are tiue, intelligent, steadfast and devoted; everthing but joyful. There is no poetry in their souls; none in their religion. We should hail Christmas with gladness, joy and rejoicing, and stop lone enough in the jnidst of politics, bargains and the routine of busi- ness to let into cuir souls God's light ana lite, which will nmke us better, truer and purer men and Wfuren. PASSING AND ABIDING. I>r. baton Talks of the Vanity of Earthly fbrnnii At the Calvary Presbyterian Church last evening Dr. Easton delivered a discourse on " Passing and Abiding." He drew a picture of two men, oue a devotee of the fleeting pleasures of life and the other seeking the glories of the mansion not made with hands. He.deftly sketched the lives of his imaginary examples and proved to the satisfaction of nis hearers the fallacy of the proverb that happiness is the highest aim and object of life. Continuing, he said: "Cities, kingdoms, empires and uatious «re passing away. This is the destiny of all —the Inw of a just and Supreme II- ing, written in colors of liv- ing light upon t..i- walls of the groat uni- verse. Life divides itself into three spheres —action, thought and enjoyment. Napoleon nioved tlie world, but his works have per- ished. Men of thought Lave ever striven to IflMßOrtaiice their names by leaving upon the literature of the countries the product of their minds. And those who have, bowtd themselves in h"n>age at the glittering shrine of pleasure they, too, are dust aud forgotten. "The highest object of life, la to be goo/I.

He followed the sound and soon arrived at the corner of the two streets mentioned, where an exciting scene was being enacted by a drunkeu man trying to knock down a woman with an ax. He interfered ju.it in time to prevent a crime. The man is Jacob Holly, n well-respected mau in that neighborhood, and the woman is hi? wife. She s'att-a to Orlicer Norton that her husband had been (UsMpaling for several weeks, and had threatened her life on sev- eral occasions. Sometimes he would terrify her boarders by breaking windows nnd doors. He has twice been sent to the Home fur the Inebriate, but Mrs. Holly, who wanted to put him into a place nf safety until lie sobered up, could not afford to send him there again, and on the advice of the arresting nffieer Holly was charged with as- sault with a deadly weapon.

BESSEMER STEEL. An Invention of Priceless Valne to Ihe Modern World. Ex-Mayor Hewitt surprised a good many people by saying at the dinner given to the iron and steel men that in his opinion the invention of Bessemer steel was, as regards its effect on the welfare and progress of mankind, only second to the invention of printing. The grounds lor his statement will bo recognized, however, when we call to mind the tremendous reduction in the price oi" steel during the list thirty years, and the consequent myriad of new applica- tions of thai metal. By the so-called Besse- mer process and other allied devices, the production of useful kinds of so- called steels from impure ores, which pre- viously could only be employed for in- ferior cast and wrought-iron products, has been made possible. The inventions Lave been eagerly turned to account by all civilized natious. The result has been an enormous increase in the production of iron and steel from natural sources, not only in the older iron-producing countries, but also iv many countries and districts where for- merly tlie amount of Iron produced was merely nominal or absolutely nil. The day, indeed, seems not far dlstat/t when metal prodnced by puddling in the old- fashioned way will be a thing of the past, and be wholly superseded by ingot metal cast by the Bessemer process, because the latter is superior not only in cheapness, but In physical qualities. For example, while puddled b«r-iron can bear a tensile strain of about twenty-one tons to the square inch, a hammered bar-iron that of nearly twenty- nine tons, Bes>emer iron e»n re9ist a tensile strain of thirty-three tons to the square inch, Besse cr sott steels that of thirty-three to thirty-five tons and Bessemer hammered steel that of almost forty-seven tons. Ex-Mayor Hewitt, uowrver, like nearly every one else who discusses ths wonderful revolution of the iron and steel trade in our generation, sives too much credit to Besse- mer. The essential feature of the Bessemer process proper, patented in 1605, was the conyeisiiin of cast iron into wrought iron by forcing air thiough the molteu muss so as to burn out the carbon. Notwithstanding suc- cessive improvements patented by the in- ventor duriug tne next eighteen months, the working vulue of the new method was found to be but small. It was not until the end of 18T>G that tlie irocess was rendered controll- able aud practical by Mushet, who patented the iiiipToven.enl still in use of decarboniz- ing the iron by completely blowing It, ana then nildlng melted siiiegeleisen, or ferro- nianganese, in known quantity, so as to car- bonize Die mass to any n quired extent, and at the same time by mtrouueing manganese into tlie coiui'o.-itlon, to diminish the injuri- ous effects of sulphur, phosphorus, etc., on its physical qualities. Poor Mushet had to allow his patent right to lapse through his inability to pay the requisite fees in the third yekr, and, consequently, his name l:as been forgotten by ex-Mavor"Hrwitt and the world in general, though to the iudustiy transforming value of the so-called Basse* lnor process Mushet cotiliibulcd at leastas nuich as it* reputed author.—BT.

Tuo qacstionet was an old-lime actor, at tlie Laclede, who is paw via} JUK at tlie Grand. "Well, sir, Billy Brady, three years ago, did not liave a dollar in tlie world, lie was in San Francisco, where as a boy ho bad sold newspapers, blacked boots, nnd finally began lo shift scenes on the stage of the old C'alilpraia Theater. At last by .due process of timo he became the cap- tain of the supers, and tlius he begun to We an actor, lie was given small parts, and occasionally went off on a barn-storm- ing expedition, and invariably had to walk back to th« city.

As an no tor lie is bail. 1 heard that lie treated his little star, Mfaa Tittell, the tme who really mailo his lortune for him, in a shamrlul manner. She is now a member of the New York Lyceum Company, and was nil last year leading lady for K. H. butheru in "The Highest Bidder" and "Lord Chuiuley." The wheel of fortune makes some funny changes, doesn't it. But dint you ever believe that Brady is goiug to fluey Just be- cause h« has so many irons In the fire. Ho is far too clever a boy for that.—St. Louis Star-Sayings. Illusions of Great Men. nnethe states that he one day saw the exact counterpart of himself coming toward him. Popo saw tin arm apparently come through the wall, and made inquiries after its owner. Byron often received visits from a spec- ter, but he knew it to be a creation of the imagination. Dr. Johuson heard his mother call his name in a clear voice, though she was at the time in another city. Jiiircn Kmmanuei Swedenborg believed that he had the privilege 61 interviewing persons in the spirit world.

Napoleon once called attention loa bright star he believed he saw shining in his room, and said: "It has never deserted me. I see it on every great occurrence urging me on- wnrd ; it is an unfailing omen oi success." . Nicolai was alarmed by the appearance of a dead body, which vanished and came again at intervals. This w»s followed by human faces, which came into the room and, after gazing upon him for n while, de- parted. Mcolai knew they were but theef- lects i«f indigestion.—St. Louis Globe-Demo- crat. Decided oddities in furs are the beaver cravats which wme of the fashionable girls are wearing. They aie made oi the actual pelts, with two or three tails added and the head left on one of the pelts. This head fastens in front, and while it is not particularly ornamental it indicates that the beaver Is the genuine article and expensive. Alleged beaver cravats can bi< had for a few ciollurs, while the genuine article cost 830 or more.

The, weather was everything that louhi be desired when the start was made, beiug clear aud crisp, with a good breeze from the northeast. The yacht cruised around the bay until 2 o'clock in the after- noon, when she started back lor her anchor- age. As she was crossing the channel the wind suddenly fell calm. The tide was running strong ebb at the time and the Kainona commenced to drift slowly but surely out to sea. All sails were set, but there was not \u25a0 breath of wind and those on board could do uothiug but watch her/drift. When llic yacht got below tlie fort she United in rather too close proximity to Mile Hock and tlio-e on board put out a boat end^ tuwrd her further out in the stream.
