THEY ARE ELATED OVER THE NEW LAW COMPELLING SUNDAY CLOSING. A RATIFICATION MEETING, ADDRESsES Mape BY C."M. SHORT- RIDGE, ASSEMBLYMAN DINKEL- | SPIEL AND OTHERS. There was a large representative gathering of local barbers—members of the Barbers’ Association and of the Protective Union— at Foresters’ Hall, 102 O’Farrell street, yesterday afternoon. The meeting was held as a sort of rati- tion jubilee to celebrate the new law | which is now in_force and which provides | that all harher-l}hops throughout the State | shall close at 12 o'clock noon on Sunday and was very enth stic. The measure was fought hard for by the barbers of the v and it was only natural that they should feel considerable jubilation over their success. In order that the occasion might be made as agreeable as possible a band and | the Hawthorne quartet were present and | Yiscoursed music and songs between the | speeches. The following composed the quartet: Frank Coffin, first tenor; A. Til- ton, second tenor; W. J. Batchelder, first bass, and 8. E. Tucker, second bass. George Aubertine presided, calling the | meeting to order at 3 o’clock. In doing so In addition to ratify- ing the success which had been met with at Sacramento, it was proposed to take steps to promote the objects of the associa- “We have,” he said, ‘‘gained one of | tion. o and always obeyed them. Butif a law is honest and good, and the constitution would not permit it, then make a new constitution or amend the ola one: In conclusion, the speaker advocated the new law because it afforded some rest and recreation and gave men a chance to EO out on the highways and byways, to the seashore, to the mountain tops, and, after a week of toil, enjoy the luxury of com- muning with sweet nature robed in her fairest charms. Assemblyman W. G. H. Dinkelspiel was next introduced, but owing to hoarseness could not make a long speech. His re- marks were to the point, and were ap- plauded. He had upheld the barbers’ measure in the Legislature because it was a matter of right and justice. The meas- ure is not unconstitutional, as the speaker did not believe that any measure that ennobles mankind could be so declared as a matter of right. It would be a disgrace if hard-working men couid not have half a day out of seven in which to enjoy the balmy air of this great commonwealth. He believed in a law to close the shops all day on Sunday. [Applause.] The following resolutions were offered by W. G. Seppich, president of the Bar- bers’ Protective Union, and adopted : WHEREAS, The barbers, in mass-meeting as- sembied, are unanimous in praising all who sted in the passage of Senate bill 627, cal- ated to insure a hali-holiday of rest to our on on Sundeys; and, WHEREAS, We, the barbers of the city of San | Francisco, deem it our duty to mention the principal advocates, in consideration of- their unceasing energy, Hon.

SUSPICION OF A MONOPOLY. REMEDIES SUGGESTED FOR INCOR- PORATION IN AN AMENDED ORDER. The faulty and suspicious bituminous rock ordinance which is to be voted on this afternoon by the Board of Supervisors has met with so much adverse criticism that there is every probability it will never be- come a law. The belief that it is a scheme to foista monopoly on the citizens of San Francisco through a poor subterfuge has spread be- yond the city. The Supervisors should draft an ordi- nance that can be lived up to, and then it should be enforced. To require, as this proposed one does, that bituminous rock used in paving shall be free from pebbles, mica, "y [Sketched by a “Call™ artist.] 5 ASSEMBLYMAN H. G. W.

Our object is to elevate, educate and raisé up members of | the craft, and place them on the platform | where they. deserve to .be. Progression -shail be our motto.” [Applause.] - The quartet then sang “I Stood on the Bridge at Midnight,” and afterward Charles M. Shortridge’ was introduced. He made was_frequently interrupted by He dwelt at length upon the reasons why the wew law was a fipod one, and then touched upon topics which were of interest to the barbers as a body. While it might be claimed, he went on, that men could agree to-stand by each other and close their .shops at 12 o'clock, still the fact remained that some sort of a prohibitory law is necessary. It stands in other trades and professions as well as among barbers that this is a correct propo- sition. A law is the'consensus of public opinion, and this particular one isa dec- laration made by the people of the State of California. g “ The barbers had gone to the Legislature and asked for a law as_they ask for a law to do anything which is proper and right. The cause could not be carried out indi- vidually. 1t was necessary to have a gen- eral law which would apply to all.” The speaker had heard it urged by some that lgey had & right to labor every day in the year. Perhaps they have; but should thete not be one day in the week when laborers—and we are all laborers—can go ow and enjoy God’s sunshine? Cannot min earn enough in_six and a halfdays’ lator in this great Republic to provide hin with abundant food, decent clothing and a comfortable place to sleep? 5 A half day out of seven was litle enough as 2 holiday, and the only fault with the law as passed was that it did not allow bar- bers more time. They are professionals and must, to be successful in their busi- ness, be endowed with di%]mty, patience, skill ani ability, and with these they must mix biiins. These requirements are need- ed in every profession, trade and calling day, and it applause. e. I’ speak,” said Mr. Shortridge, *‘as a toiler among toilers; I appreciate and fully recognize the dignity of labor of every kind, and the skill which may be displayed in every department of business affairs, One man may manipulate the surgeon’s knife, another the n, and still another may apply his 'deit fingers to the razor as a professionai_barber, but the honor attached to each depends upon the skill, the fidelity and the ability of the operathr.” Refefring again to the recently passed law | Mr. 8h rtr{d»ze said that the barbers should | resolve in favor of a new law, and that is | the closing of shops at 8 o’clock at night. | [Avplatse.] He said that clause should | have Been in the measure just passed. ‘ome persons had said that the proposi- tion of grdering shops closed was uncon- stitutional, but in the speaker’s opinion fich a contention was absurd. ‘I am\not an anarchist,” said Mr. Short- idge; “lI am not opposed to capital, nor <m I appealing to the passions of any class. 1T am stry ving get some capital of my own. | Jam not talking with the idea of beig corsidered the friend of any ‘special class of laborers especially.

AN EXCITING - AND . SANGUINARY DUEL ‘WHICH STARTLED THE LADIES. Judging from tiie'slim attendance at the Baldwin Theater yesterday evening the sufferers from the earthquake in Ttaly will not-be much better off for the grand musi- cal and dramatic entertainment given to aid them. It was said, however, that some prominent members of the Italian colony bought ten times as many seats as they and their parties occupied, and a number of other tickets which had been sold were not used. The entertainment began with a concert, whichi Professor A. Lombardo opened by playing selections from Gounod’s “Faust” as a flute solo, in a finished and artistic manner which,evoked a warm encore. Miss A. Richey’s extreme youthfulness made the easy way in which she sang “Le Parlated’ Amor” scem remarkable. Signor L. Giorgiof local operatic fame did not materialize to take part in the concert by singing the grand aria that the tenor sings on his burning ship in “La Gioconda,” but another tenor, J. H. Desmond, won bravos for a voice which was so good that even an execrably throaty method could not en- tirely mar it. Herr Franz, known in private life as Frances, sang the “‘Song to the Evening Star,” from “Tannhauser,” disguised as the Abbe Liszt. His make-up was excel- lent, and the comic song which he gave as an encore brought down the house, The idea of making tfi personification of the lamented musician sing a comie-song was an original one and hel 2 ed to amuse the audience. Signor G. 3 2 'anizza sang the cavatina from the “Elixir d’Amour” de- lightfully. His voice is worn threadbare, it is true, but bis method is one that “time cannot wither.” G. Panizza and G. Almagia saug a duet from “I Puritoni,” and Miss H. Rottanzi won the favor of her audience by her rendering of “C'era una volta un re.” “The Dueller’s Retribution” was the name of a playlet which served as an ex- cuse for E. Lastreto to challenge Louig Tronchet to mortal combat with long swords and poniards. The duel was an exciting one, as the performers fought with a weapon in each hand, which they used with great skill. In che end Lastreto was wounded in sucha sanguinary man- ner that the ladies in the audience hid their faces and refused to be comforted, though their escorts assured them that the gore was only aniline dye. The entertainment ended with a cleverly erformed play, “The Triumph of Love,” which Mrs. Cuneo-McLean especial distinguished herself. The other ers were: E. Patrizi, G. Calegdri; Miss Nieri, A.

SIMON WANTS HIS MONEY. He Will Sue Attorney Davis to Recover It. Simon Davis, a musician employed at the Tivoli, will to-day bring suit against Attorney H. H. Davis to recover the sum of $325, The attorney settled for the musician a claim for damages against the Southern Pacitic. He is said to have re- ceived $450 in settlement, but he turned over to his client only $125, and the pres- ent suit is brought to collect the balance. Simon told the history of the transaction to the Grand Jury last week, and his testi- mony js thought to have been the cause of the indictment which was found against the attorney. A QUAINT CHURCH EDIFICE THE SWEDENBORGIAN SOCIETY'S NEW SABBATH HOME ON LYON STREET. PICTURESQUE FEATURES OF NGRWE- GIAN LIFE TRANSPLANTED HERE. Pastor Joseph Worcester of the new Swedenborgian Church, at the corner of Lyon and Washington streets, preached yesterday morning the second sermon which has been delivered in that edifice since its dedication. The church is, perhaps, the most pe- culiar specimen of sacred architecture which this city affords. Itisalong low building, erected within a walled inclosure, 1o which entrance isobtained through iron gates, and seems strangely dwarfed in com- parison with the two -story parsonage alongside. Around the building is a flower garden, whence come the blossoms which decorate the church on Sundays, ‘| and which, after the services, are distrib- uted to the worshipers. The edifice is modeled apparently after the Norwegian style of architecture. It is covered with an old-fashioned tile roof and is absolutely devoid of anything resembling a steeple, though a substantial arch furnishes a niche where a bell may be hung. 4 The entrance to the auditorium is reached by a path leading to the rear of the structure. The interior of the build- ing is quite in keeping with its outward appearance and is calculated on a first visit to seriously distract_the worshiper’s atten- tion from the remarks of the good man in the pulpit. Atone end of the hall, directly opposite the speaker’s stand, is an enor- mous open fireplace of brick in which burns a cheerful wood fire. The hall is finished up into the roof and the muthy squared rafters and the trusses of split logs bound with iron present a strange appear- ance. The walls are finished in natural wood of a brownish hue to the height of six or eight feet,and above on one side only open the windows in the building. The seating capacity of the chnnfi: is about 200.- Each visitor is furnished with a'rush-bottomed chair framed from heavy white wood and with a tiny rush mat for the feet. These mats are conspicuous in every part of the auditorium. They, as well” as the chairs and the rush-covered footstools, were made especially for the church by an ex-manufacturer of rush goods who has been for many years re- tired from business. Generally speaking a service at the new church instinctively brings to mind some old pictures of Nor- wegian home life. The pastor took for his text yesterday morning the account of Jacob's dream, contained in Genesis xxviii. In ancient times, he said, instruction concerning future events and lessons of . heavenly wisdom were given from heaven frequently by means of dreams. Throughout the Jewish dispensation or era the wisdom contained in such visions was not understood. The simplest of them required an intrepeter and the wisdom stored up in.them for future generations awaited the coming of the Christ for its revelation. Jesus understood them and set forth their divine application to his own life and through his life to that of all ‘mankind, While walking with his dis- THE NEW SWEDENBORGIAN CHURCH ON THE CORNER OF WASH- INGTON AND LYON STREETS. . .. [Sketched by a “Call’” artist.] the indefinite fashion outlined in the | ciples he opened unto them from Moses ordinance. e : The Street Superintendent, or the Street Committee of the Board of Supervisors, could test the' concrete and - bitumen after being laid. Let authority be given to take up a piece of the -pave- ment for a sample and subject it | to proper scientific tests as to strength of its concrete foundation and the thickness of bituminous rock in the covering. Be- sides, chemical and mechanical tests could be applied. If, after all this scrutiny, the rock does net come ui;_to the standard it could be rejected. This is the only way that good pavements can be guaranteed. Another thin% which this proposed ordi- nance does not demand is_compression of pavements to secure 2 good su and a solid bodg of bituminous rock. 'What the Board of Supervisors might do in this re- gard is to require the specifications to com- el mfljng with heavy rollers at least two aml in weight, as in the old ordinance. It is absurd to presume that San Fran- cisco cannot do as other cities do in the matter of laying bituminous rock upon the streets. But hereisa city ordinance re- uiring that bitumen must be heated on axa street instead of in a yard for that pur- se. P_ollths example of other cities were fol- Jowed there would be no such thing as steam machivery, smoke, dirt, steam and heaps of rock upon the street. Nor would there be midnslr of explosions and loss of life. Itisa common sight to see chil- dren gathered around the i%mm en- gines, where they are attracted by the ma- chinery in motion.

G 3 Jacob’s dream of aladder from heaven to earth represents the steps by which the Lord’s humlmit{swhen he was upon earth was joined to his divinity and by which the "divine influence descended to the earth. Its lesson for us to-day is_that God’s goodness and love descends still to us from heaven even as the angels of God descended Jacob’s ladder, and we should rise and make just returns by learning of him and giving him our voluntary obedi- ence. An Overdue Ship Arrives. The long-overdue British ship Moresby ar- rived yesterday, 241 days from Liverpool.

AN OLD OFFICER VIGILENT PursueEp OveER FENCES AND DITCHES THE DESPERADO AT LAst EscaPEs. John Baltz, a racetrack man, whose headquarters are in the Chronicle building, met with an experience yesterday morning -| which he says will long be remembered by him. Mr. Baliz attended the American Band dance Saturday night, and, when the hours grew small, escorted a lady friend home. The lady resides on Polk street, and the nearest and most convenient route to re- turn, when all cars have ceased running, is by Fulton street. Mr. Baltz says that his intention was to go to Thomas Nolan’s place, opposite the City Hall, but when within half a block and in front of 31 Fulton street he was alarmed to see two men running swiftly across the street foward him. He grasped the situation at once and started on a run. He was_fleeter than his pursuers and gained Larkin street and ran into the arms of John L. Wichmann, an old-time policeman, but who now conducts the City Hall Louvre. Mr. Wichmann, with the instinct of his training and experience, whipped out a big six-shooter and started after the high- waymen. They could, or at least one of them could, be seen running up Fulton street. Wichmann ran after them as far as Van Ness avenue, when one of them, ‘the taller of the two, ran into the yard at the corner. He followed and fired one shot at the desperado as he was in' the act of climbing over the rear fence. V'ichmann followed the man until Fulton § reet was reached again. Over fences, clotueslines, ash-barrels, everything, until at last the robber made his escape in the open street. Mr. Wichmann said yesterday that he did not know exactly how he got mixed up in the matter, but having a revolver handy and beinfi in a oourageous mood he just thought he would land one of these would- be muderers. The taller man of the two.is is described as wearing a light overcoat, very long, a light mustache and carrying a heavy black cane. Mr. Wichmann, whose place of business isat 115 Larkin street, says that such an occurrence in that quiet neighborhood was a shock to him, but that the excitement of his enase did him lots of good. “Oh, we're all police officers up here, all hard people for any crook to run against,” said Mr. Wichmann yesterda; evening. “The little experience I hax this morning is nothing compared with the.idea of a possibility of landing one of these fellows and finding out if he was one of the Stagg murderers or one in any way connected with the numerous atrocious crimes recently reported. “I was pleased this morning to have Mr. Baltz run into me, but I would be a much happier man to-night could I have hit that fellow in the light coat as he was crawling over the fence. 3 ;ot tangled up in a clothesline and mixed upin a couple of ash-barrels, but I don’t think I had near the trouble that the fellow did that I was after.” .THE WEEK'S PLAYS.

Mrs. Rowell was employed at the Mid- winter Fair and became acquainted with some concessionaires in the Streets of Cairo. Her husband did not like the ac- quaintanceship and tried to break it off, but failed. Last night she went to a bazaar on Bush street and Van Ness avenue, and was in a 1ear room when her husband knocked at the door. H® had in his hand a revolver, which he carried for fear of encountering footpads. When she opened the door she said her husband fired a shot at her and then ran away. 2 Rowell denied shooting at her. He said he took the revolver with him because he thought he might meet with rough treat- ment in the bazaar. When his wife opened the door she grabbed hold of his hand, and the pistol went off accidentally. Mrs. Rowell went to the_ police station, and when she saw her husband locked u she also said the revolyer went off acciden ally, and the probability is the case will be dismissed. ———————— Far southern domestic arrangements ap- roach in some respects those of the Bast ndies.
