8 THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, JULY 30, 1895. PREACHERS N POLITICS, The Topic of Discussion by the Congregational Mon- | day Club. A MISSIONARY FROM HAWAIL Dr. Minton the Chief Speaker at the | Presbyterian Ministerial Union. The Congregational Monday Club dis- | cussed the vexed question of whether or | not the preacher should use his pulpit for | the purpose of influencing political 1d votes. There was a nearly | division of sentiment among the members | Rev. Philip Graif read a paper on “The | Preacher in Politics.” He said: 1 v nowadays, we hear the eacher—the man sen- e of social que order of | c not of th but a bros nerate and christiax In some respects in certain quarters nty shyness, for more than | its grosser form, has changed into figures of Pocksniffian touc once politics, 1 golden priests pewter. | In this end-of-the-century period De Toque- ville's eriticism has lost none of its point that | t of public \n’[uc.! | ministers slight_the subj Ifin the h sense politics is not the slimy, . ine ethics ap- plied to hu and government, then when party-ories are misleading and publtc opinion is groping in moral bli s and laws become yokes F and libe h C rdized, it is & con- of God to lift his | alf of his country. indorse Dr. | partisanship, | is merely used to | the-rule of a | booth versal brotherhood, 1y sound the note of s of pertl, luxury baek to God and above al alarm and p!

He is no dupe, or pedant, or a time- | serving trimmer, hurling battering rams | against old Babylon, but letting Oakland or San Francisco go free. | Rev. J. W. Cruzan said he wished he | valued the ministry as a political factor as | the speaker did. In his own opinion the preacher who goes into politics commences nowhere and ends at the same place. | *‘Politics is the science of getting there, | and successful politics is the science of | getting there first.” | Mr. Bowell thought the minister who | is too good to go into politics should be preserved in alcohol and placed among | curios. Dr. Williams believed the minister should be an interpreter of political princi- | ples, but not a leader in politics. | Dr. Mooar said the intent of the paper | was right, but it would take a great amount of good sense to carry out the programme. Rev. G. C. Hatch said it would take much good sense and a good deal besides to carry out that intent. He thought preach- ers should participate in politics as men, but not as preacbers. He believes politics is not in their province. . Rev. W. H. Tubbs told of his ministry in the South during the war and how while his politics were known that fact made no difference in his usefulness. Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper said she liked to hear such broad principles enunciated from the pulpit as would cover all ethical questions. Rev. Loyal L. Wirt said : “There is such 8 thing as religion per se.” He contrasted | the en!&uty pews of the church, “not a hundred miles from San Francisco,” he ead, sententious whose pastor had been giving political léctures on Sunday even- ing, with the filled seats at the sanctuary, “not a pistol shot from the Young Men's Christian Association,”” where the simple gospel was preached. Captain Cook told the story of the man who complained that his pastor meddied with politics and who was invited to hear the discourse of a minister who *‘preached aeither politics nor religion.” Dr. Brown said a book might be written on the work of ministers who laid down ihe lines of statesmanship. Rev. Thomas Hooker, said he, “first voiced the great srinciple that ‘government derives its just ower from the consent of the governed.’ John Kimball said that he would like to | the temperance question. cels of oppres- | v | sions of th First Church of this city | Smith on the 15th prox. | come home after his vacation spent in the | East. | the presence of the Lord. see more ministers take a bold stand on The so-called “‘political preachers’ are not the most suc- cessful from a spiritual point of view. Rev. Mr. Wyckoff said: ‘“The chief thing in the world is the kingdom of God, and the minister should not be afraid to oppose whatever isinimical to it.” Rev. Mr. Henderson said he had always observed that preachers are flat failures in politics. He thought a preacher’s greatest usefulness as a political figure is in the primary conventions. The club tendered a vote of thanks to Mr. Graif for his paper. Rev. Jiro Okabe, superintendent of the Japanese missions in Hawaii, was intro- ducea. He has come to America for a year of travel and study and will spend the major portion of the time at the Chicago Universit; Mr. Okabe said: I only arrived from Honolulu on Saturday, but have so far enjoved America very much. This is not my first sojourn. Seven years 8g0 1 was a regular attendant upon the sérvices at Dr. McLean’s church. I am a Japanese, but my complexion makes me a better representa- tive of )(m\‘mli than Japan. When I went to Hawaeii there was a foothold by the Methodists, but after five years of my ministry that de- nomination turned over its work to me, and practically all the Christian work among the ] Japanese in Hawaii is in my hands. Mr. Okabe described the Japanese school and kindergarten in H i. He said his ministry during the first five years had been blessed by the conversion of 320 of his people. He publishes a Japanese pa- per devoted to their material as well as the spiritual interests. From 6000 Japa- e the number has grown in seven years He closed by saying that upon stianizing of the laborers cf that and depended their social and material Cooper said she wished to add that Miss Eastman, a member of Mr. Pullan’s church and connected with the Golden Gate Association, has charge of the Ha- waiilan_kindergartens. She also has a normal training class on that island. Dr. Hood will read a paper on “*Mission- ary Economics’’ at the next meeting. Rev. W. H. Tubbs will be the speaker the fol- lowing week, when he will present his of the San Francisco Young Men’s istian Association, which views bave already been the subject of some comment in the press. Itissaid that he accuses that institution of holding opinions quite the contrary of those gi by the famous pes- | simist in his “‘Sartor Resartus.” Presbyterian Union, The Presbyterian Ministerial Union dis- cussed in an informal manner the matter of the exclusion of representatives of the press at its meeting yesterday. Dr.J. E. cott, Rev. J. Cumming Smith, Dr. H. C. | Minton, Rev. J. M. Woodworth and others expressed strong opposition to any appear- ance of secrecy in their deliberations. “If a man takesa stand of which he isashamed let the papers show him up” was the sub- stance of their remarks. A few stood for closed doors and mystery and passwords, however, and for the present their wishes prevailed. “It is the sentiment of the union that reporters should be admitted to their meetings, and you will find thatit vill soon be expressed by a decisive vote," said a prominent minister. Dr. H. C. Minton, professor of systematic theology at San Anselmo, has recently from the Last, where he at- tended the General Assembly of Presby- terian ministers, and he gave his impres- t body and its action on the various questions submitted in an enter- taining address. He said since attending the assembly he was better satisfied than ever with Presbyterianism, which, he be- lieves, tutional govern- ment and constitutional hiberty. 1sview of the “‘Briggs heresy” was a charitable one, and he stated that “every one who shakes hands with Dr. Briggs is not neces- sarily a heretic.” Dr. Curry, who represented the Oakland presbytery at the General Assembly, also gave his impression of the convention. Rev. John Reed of Santa Rosa was a visitor yesterday and was invited to ad- dress the union at its next meeting. A New Presbyterian Church. Rev. T. A. Cowan, the synodical mis- sionary, has organized a Cumberland Pres- byterian church of twenty-two members at les. A committee has the matter ing a suitable lot preparatory to ding in charge.

Frank Tyrrell’s Discourse at the First Christian Church. Rev. Frank Tyrrell, who in St. Louis earned a reputation as a worker for muni- cipal reform, which gave him the name of the “Parkhurst of St. Louis,” preached to a large congregation in the First Christian Church, on Twelfth street, upon Sunday. He spoke upon the secking for and the Rev. | finding of Christ. Mr. Tyrrell speaks well. He has a yoice which of itself attracts and holds attention. and he is an adept at illustrating a point be wishes to emphasize by an apt poetic allusion or some historical tale. He referred first to the search of the apostles for Christ after the resurrection. He described how they hunted for him through all the places he had been during life, and finally, dispairing of finding him, they traveled back to Jerusalem. There, | in the place from where they had started, his presence was revealed to them. They had found him in_their own home, after seeking him through the world. As it was with the apostles, Mr. Tyrrell said, so it is with the people of the worid to-day. They are all seeking Christ, but each is going in a different direction, and the search is hindered by creeds and doc- trines of all kinds, which cloud the vision of the seekers and hide from their sight It is not in this way that the Lord is to be found, he said. | He must be sought for in the low as well | as in the high places, among the poor as well as the rich, and amon, masses of the people as wel churches. the great as in the The creeds of the world are returned | pulling_ against each other, each one fol- | lowing its own ideas as to the way to find Christ and each hindering the other in the search. The people must “go back to Jerusa- lem,” the preacher said, justas the apostles did, and there they will find Christ waiting for them. Mr. Tyrrell told the story of the captive King, Richard III of England, and how his minstrel, Biondel, traveled the country in search of him, stopping under the prison walls and chanting_the songs which King Richard loved, until at last he was answered by his master from the barred prison window. So it is with the soul, he said. It sits silently within its prison, and like the minstrel, the Lord is seeking it and bidding it come forth into his presence. —_——— The word ascertain formerly meant nothing more than to make certain of a fact. —————— Open the Safety Valve When there is t00 big & head of steam on, or you will be in danger.

California-Made Machinery for the India Ruby Mines. GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS LET. Forty Miles of Insulated Wire In the Blg Parrott Building—Orders From Japan. The San Francisco Bridge Company has just closed several important contracts in their line of work. Among these was one of $50,000 from the United States Govern- ment for dredging the approaches to the new drydock now being built at Port Or- ford for the Puget Sound paval station. Another contract is with the Harbor Com- missioners for putting in an iron and con- crete pier at the foot of Pacific street, to cost §40.000. This company has also re- ceived the contract for building a large coal bunker for J. P. Taylor of Oakland, and is shipping three steel bridges to Hon- olulu, Some three years ago the Pelton Water- | wheel Company received an order for three wheels for running the machinery of the Burmah ruby mines in India, and their operation has been so satisfactory that a duplicate order has just been received from that company. Not long ago several ship- ments of these wheels were made to the South Sea Islands and the Straits Settle- ments. The Pelton wheel is distinctively a California invention, the fame of which seems to have gone round the world. It evidently fills a most important place in water-power appliances, to which so much attention is now directed, more in connection with electric tra 0 The Perkins Pump and Engine Comu- pany shipped several pumping plants to interior points during the week, including one to Berkeley and an engine and pump- ing plant comvlete of 12,000 gallons per hour to Fort Jones. They also closed a contract for an_immense_ hoisting plant for _the Sepoy Placer Mining Company. The New- man Tribune speaking of the plant recently completed in that city say: The pump and engines for the fire depart- ment erected by W. W. Barnes for the Perkins Pump aud Engine Company have been pro- nounced a success in every respect by the com- mittee. Theenginesare the well-known seyclos type built by this firm and are arranged to run either singie or together, being coupled by a 14-inch pulley with an 1l-inch face, which drives the roiary pump by means of & belt. The pump at iis first te to capacity gave 13,700 gallons per hour. The second test was for pressure and gave 9000 gallons per hour at eighty pounds pressure. The committee was highly pleased with the plant. With a few hundred feet of hose and a number of fire plugs distributed atconvenient points through- out town Newman will be in as good & position to fight a fire as any town of itssize in the State. The great Parrott building on Market street is magnificent in many dezails. contract for building the electric plant has been let for $33,000, exclusive of fixtures and dynamos, covering simply the cost of wires, insulations and connections for 4000 incandescent and 300 arc lamps. The in- sulated wires would be almost forty miles in linear length, this being believed to be the most extensive system ever constructed for any single building in this country. J. C. Hall, president of the Union Lithograph Compgany, says that in some quarters there is a misapprehension as re- jgards the position occupied by the Union Lithograph Company on this coast—that some regard the establishment here as only a branch of the Eastern house. The reverse is mors in accordance with the facts. Mr. Hall, who owns a majority of the stock of both establishments, resides here, has made realty investments here, and will still continue to invest the profits of his business i this State. In the light of these facts the Union Lithograph Com- }mny should be regarded as strictly a home institution. L. G. Sresovich & Co. have just received s cargo of cocoanuts per City of Papeete. Thisis the third cargo received recently for their Pioneer cocoanut factory atNont Beach, where about thirty-five men are employed in the manufacture of the Pioneer prand of shredded and desiceated cocoanut. Lhe Washburn & Moen Manufacturing Company, recent purchasers of the Cali- fornia Wire Works, report business still on the increase, and the factory as being worked up to its full capacity. They are chipping the products of the factory by the carload to points in Washington, Oregon and Idaho, and are turning out some big cables for local street railway companies. California has the only condensed milk factory in the West. It is located at No- vato, Marin County, where they produce a most excellent quality of condensed milk and evaporated cream. It is known inthe market asthe American brand. The milk and cream are put up in jars with glass tops, thus avoiding all chances of metal poison.

Several Changes Proposed inthe Present School System. It may be that the Board of Education will not, after all, change the Richmona Grammar (mixed) School into a purely primary school. All the residents of Rich- mond are against the change and the Point Lobos Improvement Club will take the first opportunity of going upon record with a vigorous protest. President Parker of the Club said yesterday afternoon that to com- pel the grammar scholars to go all the way to the Hamilton School would operate as a most unjustifiable hardship to the parents, though it might prove a good business gain for the streetcar combine. Superintendent Moulder was looking over the reports of the principal, Mrs. Anna E. Tiernan, yesterday and observed that her classes were all full, in some there being more than the required complement of pupils. He said in response to an in- quiry: Under the circumstances I should not think it would be advisable to change the school. If there were a large number of primary pupils needing admission o the Richmond Sehoos the change might be regarded as a proper thing to be done, but_such is not the case and 1 fail to see how the department conld be bene- fited by any such change when viewed in the interests of economy. To send the grammar pupils to another school, it appears to me, would simply leave space in the Richmond School unnecessarily vacant and which might as well be occupied as it is until some pressing need of a change becomes apparent. 1 have not Jooked thoroughly into the matter though, the fact being that the idea of any change is news to me. Idid not know any was contemplated. On the cther hand the people of the Rich- mond district are rather pleased with the prospect of the removal of the Sutro Pri- mary School to Twelfth avenue. Where it is now situated it is in a hollow on Nine- teenth avenue, near Point Lobos avenue, the surrounding property being not too The | thicklf settled. It is the intention of the School Department, when the school is re- moved, to build another story, using the }i_re_sem. four-room shanty asa second story. his will make an eight-class two-story building, and, with the incidental improve- ments, will mean an expense of probably $10,000. MISSION BURGLARY. The Residence of Dr. Jerome A. Ander- son Entered During the Night and Ransacked. A carefully planned and boldly executed burglary was reported at police headquar- ters yesterday morning, and detectives are now trying to find the burglar with small chance of success. The burglary was at the residence of Dr. Jerome A. Anderson, 1039 ‘I'wentieth street. From all appearances there was only one “knight oFthe jimmy.” He ob- tained access to the back yard of the house, and that in the event of being discovered in his operations he need not have to rush into the street he placed a stepladder against the fence to enable him to get into the yard of the adjoining house. He forced one of the windows open with a “jimmy” and then opened three other windows and pulled the curtains back, so that he would have four means of making his exit in a hurry. After ransacking the lower rooms, where he got some trinkets and jewelry, he made his way upstairs and gathered in a purse that contained about $50. Dr. Anderson was awakened by the noise made by the burgiar and jumped out of bed. The burg- lar ran downstairs and dashed through one of the open windows into the yard, hotly pursued by the doctor, who yelled for the police. ~The burglar ran up the ladder with the agility of a monkey and disappeared into the adjoining yard. A lamplighter heard the cries of “po- lice,” and when he saw a man dash into the street he blew his police whistle and started off in pursuit, but the burglar was tooh 2ood a sprinter and was soon lost to sight. The coolness displayed by the burglar and the careful arrangement for his escape make the police believe that the burglaris an old hand at the business, and they are working in that belief. HE CHARGES EXTORTION. Harvey Burdell Makes Vigor- orous Allegations Against the Sheriff. Says Keepers Injured His Business by Intrusion —Whelan’s Explanation. Harry Burdell, proprietor of the livery- stable at 320 O’Farrell street, will enter suit to-day against Sheriff Whelan for $5000 damages on account of Sheriif’s fees, the exaction of which, he alleges, was “‘ex- tortionate, illegal and wrongiul.” Mr. Burdell states that on April 16 last P. L. Archibald and himself were sued hy William Craddock; that a judgment in the sum of $9750, with $650 costs, was ob- tained, and that the execution was duly placed in the hands of defendant for ser- vice; that on the same day the court made an order setting aside tae execution for thirty days, and that the vrder was served on the defendant before he had had time to do anything in the matter of the execu- tion other than to receive it. On the 2d of May, the complaint states, the plaintiff paid to the attorneys for Craddock the full sum of the judgment with costs and obtained a full discharge for the same. Sheriff Whelan, the plain- tiff states, declined to return the execution and kept a keeper in charge, though the plaintiff got out an injunction which is still in effect to prevent the defendant from selling auy of the property. The complaint further alleges that the keeper in charge, with the full knowledge and consent of the defendant, tells the customers and creditors who call at the stable why he is there and that the Sheriff expects to get the stable with its contents for his fees before he is through. The complaint concludes as follows: This court has no jurisdiction over the judg- ment aiready satisfied of record herein, and the claims of the said defendant for keeper's fees are extortionate, illegal and wrongful. That the keeper of sald defendant visits his place of business during the pusiness hours only and remains there a sufficient length of time under the instructions of the defendant to provoke inquiry as to who he is and what he is doing there. He then retires and returns again during the busiest hours of the day intruding his presence upon the customers of said stable; and said defendant and his deputy have re- ported and are reporting that it is the Sheriff’s place of business; that the said defendant well knows that his demands are illegal and without any authority in law, and are made for the purpose of injuring plaintiff in his business. Ash and Mathews are the attorneys for Burdell. Sheriff Whelan said last evening that Burdell was not correct in the statements made, and that the costs, which include keeper’s fees, were not paid at the time when the attorneys of the man who ob- tained the judgment against him were he fact of the matter is,” said the Sheriff, “that at the time the judgment was satisfied he owed something like §50 for fees, and came and asked us to give him a rebate on that sum. . “This we refused to do, but gave him time to pay up. Before the expiration of that time other attachments, three in number, I think, were levied on his place, and, of course, we must have keepers on that account. The man has been fairly treated and has no real grounds for begin- ning suit, and I think his attorney has a hand in the matter, for he was very angry whea we refused to rebate the fees.” A TALK ON WHISKY. Rev. W. A. Gardner Preached to Chil- dren at West Side Christian Church. “At last it biteth like a serpent,” was the text found in Proverbs xxiii:32 from which Rev. W. A. Gardner presented an object sermon_on “Whisky” to the children of West Side Christian Church yesterday morning. Mr. Gardner did not deliver a temperance lecture with word pictures of horrible examples, but gave the youth a ractical demonstration of the evil to be lound in alcoholic drinks. He held up a bottle of alcohol and ex- plained to the children that the Arabs gave it the name of “El Ghout’— the bad spirit. He said that the alco- hol in whisky, wine, beer and ale was _the spirit that cansed the trouble resulting from drinking these intoxicants. Pouring some alcohol in a glass dish he :et it afire, showing its combustible na- ure. He gave a similar demonstration with whisky, and told his young hearers that the blood taken from” an old toper that was soaked with whisky could be burned aslong as a drop of alcohol remained in it. He also experimented by pouring alcohol over the white of an egg, turning it to the color of a boiled egg, and explained how it would act on the food of those who in- du]fie in an appetizer; instead of aiding it hindered digestion. The red noses of chronic drinkers were descanted upon and the susceptibility to disease and death of drinkers presented as a lesson. o~ . 4 + EAGLE BRAND " 1t Has No Equal NEW TO-DAY. ON K SCALPER'S TICKET, Gleason Expects to Secure Damages From the Wil- lamette Valley Owners. KELLY & LIEBES’ Cloak and Suit House, 120 Kearny Streeot. LAST WEEK OF OUR GIGANTIC CLOAK SALE! THE TROUBLE OF A TRAVELER. The Purser Refused to Honor a Return Ticket Sold to Him by a Broker. Patrick G. Gleason won a signal victory over the owners of the steamer Willamette Valley in the United States District Oourt yesterday. The case was entitled P. G. Gleason versus the Steamship Willamette Valley, and the plaintiff sought to recover $5000 damages. The matter dates back to August, 1893, when there was lively competition between the steamers running to Astoriaand Ya- quina Bay. Inorder to cut under the op- position the owners of the Willamette Valley sold round-trip tickets at reduced rates. One of these tickets was used as far as Portland and there sold to a scalper, from whom Gieason purchased it. The lat- ter had considerable money with him and Fave $240 of it to the purser of the Wil- amette Valley for safe keeping. When the steamer got out to sea the purser took up the tickets, and then he discovered that Gleason’s had been pur- chased from a scalper. He demanded full fare, and Gleason refused to pay it, but did offer to take a berth in the steerage and pay for it. This was declined, and Glea- For $1.50, $2.50 and $3.50.
