The second evening of the Protracted Revival Meetings at the Methodist Church witnesse! even a larger attendance than on the ope.ing night, After a half hour’s service of scng and prayer Reverend M.D. Buck arose and announced his topic: “Coming to Christ.” “His text was taken from St. John, 6th Chapter, 44th Verse: *‘No man can come to me except the Father which hath sent me, draw him.” As upon the former evening the pencil of our special reporter failed’to keep pace with the fluent tongue of the eloquent-lecturer, but, memory assisting the garbled notes taken, the following is submitted (with an apology to the speaker) as an incomplete synopsis of the sermon, Mr, Buck said: ‘‘There are many reasons why we should come to Christ, The first and‘ paramount oné ‘being because of sin. Oue sin or a sinful heart wil] close , Heaven against us, Heaven with sin would be no Heaven at all. We must be thoroughly cleansed of sin before we can enter the Kingdom of Heaven.” He called upon each of his hearers to examine their record and see if they had committed any sin or sinful acts, which he claimed was the same thing. The speaker went on +0 define sin, and to pviat out the many ways one might thoughtlessly and unconsciously sin, u ' Regarding’temptation—to which it was so easy to yield, but sometimes so difficult to resist, because of “human weaknesse.— ' he evoked the Spirit of the Holy Ghost to lend strength to his listeners in the hour oi temptation, »: , ‘ He quoted the words from the Book: ‘Present your bodies as‘a living gacrifice to your God,” * He called upon them to. say with Pavy “Oh, Lord, what wilt thou have me to do?” and bid them be as willing as Paul to go to the uttermost ends of the universe to do His bidding. Another tesgon® given why we should come-to Jesus is:.<Because He has asked 4 ‘We receive an invitation from. a friend to dine” said the miister, ‘We are not starving, hot even hungry; we have plenty to eat at home and there is no personal reason why we should accept the invitation, but we must, else we offend our friend,” God has asked us to come to Him; He has _ & feast provided for us, He desires that er soul shall be as a cup which is full axfd rtinning over with good things; glory, joy, splendor aud. everlasting Happiness, The third reason why weshould come to Christ is because the devil is doing everything he can to prevent it. Heaven presents far greater” and grander inducements than Satan, therefore we shou!d accept His boun~~ teous offer, The Reverend gentleman then fpoxe of the Prodigal Son. ‘He very feelingly pictured the anxious father in his falth‘ul watch for his son’s return. ‘‘So,” he maid, “is Jesus watching and waiting, with a greater love than that father watched and waited—aye, even with love deeper, strouger and purer than a mother’s love— tor His children to come to Him.” “The Lord: in his infinite bounty has much and does much for you which it were impossible to receive from sny other source. He has, first: full pardon for every sinner, no matter how black the record. may be. Men may not forgive you; your best friends may shun -you and refuse forgiveness, but if you come to Christ you ate certain to get full pardon, ‘Your sins will be blotted out * like a dark cloud.’ ” ‘Second: He gives you power so that you need not sin more. The Word says ‘Heaven is reserved for those who are kept by God. Kept how? Kept from sin.’ For unless you have given a full and complete surrender you would not have His keeping and protection, and hence there would be no place in heaven for you.” ‘He doesn’t simply cure the disease; he doesn’t merely supply the. remedy, but he takes away the very tendency,—the desire as well as the temptation.” ‘Something occurs to vex you. You are provoked; perhaps offended, Angry words spring to your:lips, but if you have the Grace of God it your soul. that divine bleseing drives them away. ‘*How are we going to come to Christ?” _ The speaker answered this by reminding his hearers that “Christ is near you. He is with you.” He exhorted them to lift up their -hearts to him as did Paul, and speak to Him, and he promised that (“Jesus will give you a power that will be & constant benediction to your whole family, to your friends and to every one with whom you may come in contact.” In concluding his excellent sermon Mr, Buck said: If you feel that the spirit is calling you, this ig the time to come. Do not wait till tomorrow; you may not receive that call again.” During the prayer of silent consecration all went down on their knees with but three exceptions.

Lady Sholto Douglas, who will be seen here at the Opera House this evening with ‘the Lord Sholto Douglas Co, in the great London comedy, ‘‘Confusion;” has a weddin gift which possesses a peculiar history. The family of the Marquis of Queensberg is descended from the famous Black Douglas, who played so important.a part in the life of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Seots. When Queen Elizabeth of England signed the death ‘warrant of the uafortanate qneen of Scotland, the Black Douglas-was one of the party who * castle where Mary, Queen of ‘cuts, was imprisoned, In-the party of limrsetnen who drew rein at midnight at the gates of the castle was a son of the Black -Douglas, Sholto Percy, who was in love with the unfortunate queen, That night be attempted to help her escape, ‘and the stary,of how the queen and her atteidants reached the shore and alinost got free furnished Walter Scott with the theme of hig wovel dealing with the life of Mary of Scotland. Atthe battle of Fotheritigay young Douglas wis killed, and his dying moments were soathed by the beautiful queen whom he“had given his life for. An heirloom of the faimily of Douglass was the tiny lacé handerchief which Mary of Scotland had sed to wipe the lips of the dying Douglas, Ist was found on the body and wag taken possession of by his mother, Realizing the intense-love which her son had borne for the queen, Lady Donglas gave the handkerchief to ‘the bride of ber remaining son, and from that day to this the precious filament of lace has passed into the hands of each successive bride of the House of Douglas. When Lord Sholto Douglas was married last spring, his wife, a few days after, received a registered package from England. It was the handkerchief which formerly belonged to Mary, Queen of Scots, and which has been held by each bride of the Douglas family since that time. Lady Sholto Douglas wiil retain possession of the handkerchief until another bride‘is received into the Douglas family, when she will, as has. been done for past centuries, return the relic to the head of the house, the Marchioness of Queensbery, who will follow the ancient custom, and present it to the next bride who enters the family, Local Notes, Armory Hall is ‘o be lighted with electric lights, Company C having contracted with the Electric Power Company to put in two aro lights and thirty incandescent lamps, The Lord Douglas Company arrived‘here last night on the 10o’clock train; too late to give a performance, ‘Lhey will appear at the Theater tonight. -~ The high wind today blew several hats down from,id frovt of Hyman’s store: and out into the street, A lot of tin plates and patis were blown froma stand in front of ‘the Tea Store and carried down the street at a lively rate, 4 The Great Register. Among the matters which will come before the Boards of Supervisors of the various counties of the State the coming year,, will be the preparation of a new great register in accordance with the amendment to Section 194 of the Civil Code, adopted at the last session of the Legislature and approved by the Governor on March 27, 1895.

For two weeks. the line men have been at work putting up new poles and stretching additional wires to accommodate the new subscribers who have had telephones put in. In order to make room for all the wires it has been necessary to thoroughly overhaul and increase the capacity of the switch-board at the central office. This has been a very particular and tedious task, and two experienced switchboard adjusters worked two or three days on the job. The attaching of the main wires to the cable wires is another job that requires very careful attention, ‘Monday the tocal exchange was not in condition for business, owing to the changes being made, Yesterday*the lines were most of them. in good working order, although there Were a few bad crosses that had to be hunted up and straightened out.

The squabble over in Coonland is the all absorbing topic which threatens to involve all Europe and Nevada county, Capt. Mein, one of our citizens, has been arrested and charged with treason. Just how treasonable he has been we do not know, but we do know that he has always been loyal to his friends and Nevada county. His reputation for. sincerity and faithfulness has never been questioned, and it may be his loyalty to friends has entangled him in the skirmish in and around Johaonesburg. We are.positive he has.committed no breach of the peace nor knowingly assisted in any revolution, In a late letter to a friend in this city he said nothing of any trouble brewing in Kaffirland, but wrote of the great prosperity and future of that country. He atthat time contemplated a tour of the world and expressed a desire to attend the exhibition which is to be given at Armory Hall on Friday evening, An Important Suit Decided. In the case of P. Henry vs. J. L. Merguire et al., ‘appealed from the Superior Court of this county, the Supreme Court has made an order dismissing the appeal, which is virtually a final settlement of the case.

Thomas §S, Ford ‘is attorney for Henry. The parties to the suit reside at Truckee, the case being the outgrowth of one of the complications arising in the settlement of the estates of the late E. J. Brickell and W. H. Kruger, who a few years ago carried on an extensive lumbering business, planing mill and sash factory at Truckee. Have a State Reputation.

The election of Foraker, for there is no doubt that the two houses will confirm on joint ballot tomorrow what they have done separately today, insures the success of the combination to send a solid McKinley delegation to the St. Louis” convention, understanding that Foraker, in return for the support his friends were pledged to give McKinley, would receive the votes:of the McKinley following in the Legislature, and as the election of Foraker is now an assured fact it means that Ohid will present a solid front at the convention for the author of the Protective Tariff bill.

Lady Sholto Douglas, who will be seen here at the Opera House this evening with ‘the Lord Sholto Douglas Co, in the great London comedy, ‘‘Confusion;” has a weddin gift which possesses a peculiar history. The family of the Marquis of Queensberg is descended from the famous Black Douglas, who played so important.a part in the life of the ill-fated Mary, Queen of Seots. When Queen Elizabeth of England signed the death ‘warrant of the uafortanate qneen of Scotland, the Black Douglas-was one of the party who * castle where Mary, Queen of ‘cuts, was imprisoned, In-the party of limrsetnen who drew rein at midnight at the gates of the castle was a son of the Black -Douglas, Sholto Percy, who was in love with the unfortunate queen, That night be attempted to help her escape, ‘and the stary,of how the queen and her atteidants reached the shore and alinost got free furnished Walter Scott with the theme of hig wovel dealing with the life of Mary of Scotland. Atthe battle of Fotheritigay young Douglas wis killed, and his dying moments were soathed by the beautiful queen whom he“had given his life for. An heirloom of the faimily of Douglass was the tiny lacé handerchief which Mary of Scotland had sed to wipe the lips of the dying Douglas, Ist was found on the body and wag taken possession of by his mother, Realizing the intense-love which her son had borne for the queen, Lady Donglas gave the handkerchief to ‘the bride of ber remaining son, and from that day to this the precious filament of lace has passed into the hands of each successive bride of the House of Douglas. When Lord Sholto Douglas was married last spring, his wife, a few days after, received a registered package from England. It was the handkerchief which formerly belonged to Mary, Queen of Scots, and which has been held by each bride of the Douglas family since that time. Lady Sholto Douglas wiil retain possession of the handkerchief until another bride‘is received into the Douglas family, when she will, as has. been done for past centuries, return the relic to the head of the house, the Marchioness of Queensbery, who will follow the ancient custom, and present it to the next bride who enters the family, Local Notes, Armory Hall is ‘o be lighted with electric lights, Company C having contracted with the Electric Power Company to put in two aro lights and thirty incandescent lamps, The Lord Douglas Company arrived‘here last night on the 10o’clock train; too late to give a performance, ‘Lhey will appear at the Theater tonight. -~ The high wind today blew several hats down from,id frovt of Hyman’s store: and out into the street, A lot of tin plates and patis were blown froma stand in front of ‘the Tea Store and carried down the street at a lively rate, 4 The Great Register. Among the matters which will come before the Boards of Supervisors of the various counties of the State the coming year,, will be the preparation of a new great register in accordance with the amendment to Section 194 of the Civil Code, adopted at the last session of the Legislature and approved by the Governor on March 27, 1895.

The changes and additions to the Sunseq Telephone Company’s lines in this city are nearly completed. For two weeks. the line men have been at work putting up new poles and stretching additional wires to accommodate the new subscribers who have had telephones put in. In order to make room for all the wires it has been necessary to thoroughly overhaul and increase the capacity of the switch-board at the central office. This has been a very particular and tedious task, and two experienced switchboard adjusters worked two or three days on the job. The attaching of the main wires to the cable wires is another job that requires very careful attention, ‘Monday the tocal exchange was not in condition for business, owing to the changes being made, Yesterday*the lines were most of them. in good working order, although there Were a few bad crosses that had to be hunted up and straightened out.

The squabble over in Coonland is the all absorbing topic which threatens to involve all Europe and Nevada county, Capt. Mein, one of our citizens, has been arrested and charged with treason. Just how treasonable he has been we do not know, but we do know that he has always been loyal to his friends and Nevada county. His reputation for. sincerity and faithfulness has never been questioned, and it may be his loyalty to friends has entangled him in the skirmish in and around Johaonesburg. We are.positive he has.committed no breach of the peace nor knowingly assisted in any revolution, In a late letter to a friend in this city he said nothing of any trouble brewing in Kaffirland, but wrote of the great prosperity and future of that country. He atthat time contemplated a tour of the world and expressed a desire to attend the exhibition which is to be given at Armory Hall on Friday evening, An Important Suit Decided. In the case of P.
