Yesterday's Services at Local Places of Worship. The Bible reading at the Memorial Baptist Church yesterday afternoon was upon the theme, "Excuses." Among other things Evangelist Pratt said: "When God called Moses for his great work, Mcses objected on the ground of his own insignificance. Then, again, he urged that the people of Israel would not believe him if he did go; and last of all, he begged to be excused from this work on the ground that he was not eloquent. And God accepted his excuses and commissioned Aaron to be spokesman. So we often excuse ourselves out of grand opportunities and grand privileges which God had called us to enber 'in The text for a very impressive sermon in the evening was: that I were as in months past." From this lament of Job the evangelist spoke of a like-experience in his own life, when, having known the love of God in his heart as a lad, that joy was lost from bis heart through his wandering from God.

No doubt many Christians have a like experience and many are saying: that I were as in days past." Then God's word was so precious to me. Then prayer was a great comfort and help to, me. Then God's service was j. delight. that it were so now! As the Father watched for the prodigal son so the Heavenly Father watches for your return.

As the mother leaves the door open every ngiht, since the daughter deserted the home, hoping for her return, so the Lord leaves the door of His love ever open and His arms of love ever ready to welcome the returning noul, and it may be with you as in months past. Dr. Chapman's Discourses. The evangelictlo union services at the Boyle Heights Methodist Episcopal Church are attended by great numbers of people. Dr.

Chapman's discourses are highly appreciated by all who hear him. The. music and singing la very inspiring, and the glorious results are. beyond all telling. Last evening the church was filled to the District Court.

THE A Big Colored Expresman Bullies a Little Pullman-car Porter, but is Shot by the Small loan for His Fains. A serious Bhootlng affray occurred be tween two colored met at the Arcade Depot early last evening, as the result of which one of them lies at the receiving hospital In a critical condition. W. Majors is the man who was shot, and C. W.

Bassett did the shooting, the circumstances being such as to lead to the belief that the act was not unjustifiable. Bad feeling was aroused between the men over a crap game on Wednesday night and yesterday Majors threatened a number of times to do personal violence to Bassett Majors 4a a man of powerful build, and has worked as an expressman. Bassett, who is no match for him in- physique, is employed as a porter for the Pullman Palace Car Company. They met at the Arcade depot yesterday afternoon, andL. Rulo, the depot officer, foreseeing serious trouble between them.

Majors picked up a stool from the lunch counter and would have thrown it at Bassett, had not Rulo inter fered. Majors was reluctantly compelled to desist, but before doing so struggled with the officer, whose arm was badly wrenched. A few minutes later Majors came upon Bassett in front of the ticket window, and again showed fight.

Bassett warned Majors to keep away from him, but the big bully am not need tne warning. Bassett then drew a pistol, which he had purchased earner in the day, and fired at Majors. who Immediately fell. During the excite ment which ensued Bassett disappeared. It was found upon examination that Majors was wounded in the left side under the heart, and as soon as possible he was removed to the Receiving Hospital, where, up to a late hour last night, he lay with precarious cnances lor recovery.

Shortly after Majors arrived at the hos pltal, Bassett walked into the police sta tion and announced that he was the man who had fired the shot He said he had done it in self-defense. He was looked up pending investigation. St. David's Day. St David's day, March 1 next, will be oDservea ine welsh residents of Los Angeles and vicinity, this year, as in the past.

The Police Cammlwkmi yesterday acted on a number of matter of minor Importance. The "Board of 'Public Work took Its usual weekly drive about town, making examination of questions to be presented at the meeting of that body this which meeting is expected to be held, notwithstanding today is a holiday. At the Courthouse very little business of general Interest was transacted yesterday, although all of ihe civil courts were running. For the first time in many weeks the Criminal Court was idle.

As they have done on a number of previous occasions the members of the Police Commission had a private conference before the regular meeting yesterday.

Commissioners Field, Plrtle, Weber and Mayor Rader were present, and it was nearly 11 o'clock when they emerged from the Mayor's private office and took up the regular business to come before the board. Suitable resolutions of respect to the Heath of the wife of Commissioner Barham were adopted. Chief Glass presented his report on the apllcation of Charles Engelke for a transfer of the saloon license at No. 251 East Find street from Joerlmann Brunold. Commissioner Weber said he had heard that the rear entrance of the place was being used for Sunday business.

"I think we ought to be a little careful," said Mayor Rader, "In granting any of these restaurant permits, where they are likely to be used as a means of Belling liquor on Sundays." "I do, too," sild Commissioner Plrtle. The matter was referred back to the Chief for further investigation. On report of the Chief the following applications were granted: Mclnnla for transfer of saloon license at No. 1518 San Fernando street, from Theodore Tlmms; Emil Overwey, for transfer of saloon license, and also of liquor restaurant license at No. 235 South Spring street, from Guenther Bernard.

A report of the Chief, through Detective Brad ten, was also presented on ithe application of Emll Overwey, for a transfer of saloon license, and also of restaurant liquor license, at No. 235 South Spring street, from Guenther Bernard. "There is another one of those saloons and restaurants together," said Commissioner Plrtle, "I don't think we ought to grant the restaurant permits where they are merely for the purpose of keeping saloons open on Sundays." The Mayor said he believed restaurant permits ought not to be granted' for places where no pretense is made of serving meals on week days, and where nothing further than crackers and cheese is to be 'had in the way of a meal. The application 'was, however, granted. cuier Glass submitted a report, prepared by himself, on the petition of Charles F.

Young and others, asking that a orancn polio station be established on Boyle Heights. The report recommended vast sui la we grounds ce purchased, and a fire-engine house and station be erected thereon. It was urged that such a course would be a matter of economy al it would save paying' rent, as is now being done for the engine house on Boyle iiengnts. The recommendation was referred to the City Council with he indorsement of the board. An additional petition, purporting; to be from property-owners in the block, was presented, giving consent to the srantlnK of a saloon license to Fred Arbogast at no.

311 commercial street, which applica- tion had formerly been denied on account of che insumdenty of the signatures thereon. The additional petition! was signed by agents, ana commissioner Plrtle objected to the consideration of such signatures. He cited, as an instance, that he was the agent for certain property, and bad au thorHy to collect rent for It, as well as to transaot certain other business in connec tion with it. He (had not, however, any authority to sign consent to the granting or a ssiioon license for property in the neighbourhood. Unless signatures from agents were accompanied by satisfactory eviaence or.

authority ror such signature, he would object to their being considered. The communication was filed for future reference. The applications referred to the Chief were as follows: From Charles Kelly, for a transfer or saloon license at 1538 San Fernando street, from Martin For rest; p. Bland, for a transfer of saloon license at No. 230 East Fifth street, from Pickenoacn Tepper: A.

H. Brochamn. for a transfer of saloon Hcense at No. 102 Boutn Main street, from M. E.

Curran (deceased.) A petition from the W.C.T.U., asking mat tne lemaue prisoners kept In the City Jsil be separated from the quarters In which male prisoners are kept. Which petition had been transmitted from the City Council, was referred back to the City Council without recommendation. A communication was presented from George W. Fresher and others, asking that the license for the saloon at San Pedro and Eighth street, kept by Joseph Sresovich, be revoked, as the saloon has been granted for a location on Eighth street, but had since opened on the San Pedro street side. The matter was referred to the Chief.

The CHy Attorney submitted an opinion to the effect that the so-called special officers on the police force cannot be made to contribute to the police pension fund, as they are not included in the ordinance requiring such contribution. The application of Vincents Sotello for appointment on the regular police force was filed. To Chief referred the applies- tion of G. G. Brown tor appointment as special policeman for service in the ofl-weil region.

For police nur-poses. however, this was out of the question.

It had been demonstrated in other dtles, that an officer In a covered wagon with three or four prisoners, would be In serious danger. George Sparks was elected to nil the vacancy existing in the so-called special force. Adjourned. Back from Sacramento, CITY- ATTORNEY DUNN RETURN'S FROM THE CAPITAL.
