In 1857 he came to San Francisco and lished the boot and shoe firm of which in time be- small 3 rbrothers, y became associated in with him. In this particular may ioned one of Mr. Hecht’s strong characteristics. He never engaged in a; line of business, great or small, without admitting his brothe: s full partners. In 1862 Mr. Hecht married Blema Rosewald of Baltimore, five children re- 3 g from the union, all of whom are now living in this City. The Hecht = brothers have followed the principle of ar aily co-operation, and to this e largely their Success in life. en years ago Mr. Hecht withdrew from active business and founded the commis- sion wool house of Hecht Bros. & Co. of Boston, the management devolving on the younger members of the family. A year ago the brothers established & banking house on Pine street, dealing exclusively in high class securities and bonds. In charitable matters he was foremost and his work in benevolent institutions has endeared him to the hearts of thousands of San Francisco's best citizens. He was president of the German Hospital for two years, holding at the same time a similar position in the Eureka Benevolent Associ- ation. In German societies he took an active in- terest and a prominent part in all their councils, and to his individual efforts can be attributed the present success of many of these worthy institutions. - He was an active member of Bay City Lodge of Odd Fellows and a trustee of the Temple Emanu-EL Mr. Hecht took a lively interest in pol- itics, affiliating with the Republican party. More than once strong efiorts L:ave been made to bave him accept a nomination for A or, Presidential Eiector and other of- fices of honor. Nothing could ever tempt him, however, to leave the privileges of private life for the uncertain field of pol- itics. Besides the widow, five children—two sons and three daughters—survive him. There are also four Lrothers and one sis- ter, Jacob H., Louis, Abraham E., Marcus H. and Mrs. L. P. Weil. DB. CASE ON MENTAL TROUBLES. Views of Practical Work—The Church Owes No Man. Dr. Case preached at Howard-street M. E. Church from the text, “But this one thing I do.” Hesaid: “It is marvelous, the make-up of the human soul. I am strongly impressed this evening by the fact that the brain, a maierial substance, is operative only when played uvon by the Great Intelligence. “The man or woman who is self-centered is morbidly sensitive. There is too much indulgence in introspection, too much searching of hearts. There is too much looking at tongues in mirrors, although tongues are good things to look after. Such a person magnifies every pain and pimple into a deadly cancer. This is true of the realm of mentality. “Go to a physician if you are ailing and he will probably ask if you have any anx- jety. In that sense there may be truth in the faita cure. There may be a sub- stratum, even a column, of truth in every error. When people say to me that Chris- tian science is all error, I answer it cannot be, or 1t would not have lived a week, and g0 with spiritualism. Error is a serpent that wraps itself about some column of truth. When the poiscn ivy wraps itself about an oak, reil nigh concealing the monarch of the wood, the proper thing is to destroy the ivy and leave the oak to grow. “If you want to cultivate nobility of soul begin to cultivate charitableness and veneration now. The philosog:hy of wor- ship is as reasonable as the philosophy of the physical. Don’t wait to begin your spiritual training until you are aged, and then expect to ride a heavenly bicycle. You will get a header first thing, and will deserve it. Don’t expect to be a big angcl up yonder if you are not a human angel here; bea man or woman who tries to make better the community m which you live, and no city needs such service more than does San Francisco. Noah pegged away at the ark, despite the taunts of those who ridiculed his efforts. ‘“We have reason to be encouraged. We can say to-night that we owe no man any- thing.” In concluding his sermon Dr. they His His parents | Case said: “‘This closes the third year of my pastorate. I love this spot. I love this place. Ishall be glad to return for the remaining two years allotted, as you have requested, if it is deemed best. I think I shall, but if not some one else will. I hope there will be no plan to move to the Panhandle or any other quarter of the City. Such a change would not be dic- tated by the spirit of God.” EVENING AUDIENCES. The Pastor of St. John’s Presbyterian Church Finds Only One Fault With Congregations. The Rev. Dr. D. Hanson Irwin occupied the pulpit of St. John’s Presbyterian Churh yesterday, after an absense of six weeks spent mostly on Puget Sound. Dr. Irwin has resumed his work in the best of spirits and feels that he got just what he wanted during his vacation—a good rest and plenty of sea air. He visited several places on the sound, | and one Sunday preached in Seattle. hington and Laguna | A Speaking of his trip, he said: “I have been gone since the middle of July. I spent a good deal of my time on the water. I visited the principal places of in- terest round the sound.” Yesterday morning’s service was at- tended by a large congregation, and some handsome floral decorations gracea the altar. Dr. Irwin preached from the text: “The just shall live by faith”—Romans a7 “It is faitn,” he said, “that must be Ereached. and something must be done,”’ e remarked, jokingly, ‘‘to get people to come up this hill. The morning at- tendance is very satisfactory, but the even- ing attendance is not what it should be. I suppose a great many pastors find the same fault. It 1s the only fault I find with my work here. We are on the apexof a hill, and perhaps the church is a little diffi- cult of access. “I have thought of a great many plans, and there are many legitimate things that may yet be done. I have thought of changing the evening service to afternoon. 1 wantelevating music, but, as a rule, I do not believe in professional choirs, for I thing those who sing the gospel should know the gospel and believe in it.” STOLE A HAND OF BUDDHA, One Chinese Who Will Have Phenomenal Luck for a Year to Come. Chinatown Celebrating the Seventh- Month Festival of Feeding the Dead. There is one happy Mongolian in China- town to-day, in fact a great many of them are happy, but one is supremely so. It is Ah Lung Wat. The reason for his great joy is due to the fact that he was success- ful in pilfering from under the very noses of watchful gnards a token which accord- ing to heathen belief will bring him suc- cess in all his undertakings for a year to come. This is the seventh month of the Chinese year and the annual seventh month fes- tival has been in progress for three days. It begins the 7th and continues until the middle of the Chinese month. According to the popular superstition, all the Chinese who die from natural causes go to a hell reigned over by Kwai Wong, the king of devils. All those who are removed from the earth by murder or any cther unnat- ural cause remain to roam the earth in spirit. These are supposed to be but poorly fed and clad. The seventh-month festival is, therefore, given and the spirits of all the departed heathen come forth and feast and procure new raiment, for if they were not feasted and clothed once a year the spirits would destroy the Chinaman’s crop, would an- noy his wife, and his children would be deformed; his ousiness would suffer and various other calamities would beset him. Kwai Wong_ also sallies forth from his palace in hell at this time and visits the temple. He must also be appeased. To deliver themselves from the wrath of Kwai ‘Wong and from the torment of the spirits the temple of the common people prepares a feast which is set before the god or god- dess of the temple, as the case may be, there being numerous gods and godaesses who reign and are worshiped in the vari- ous temples or joss houses. Paper clothin and money in abundance are burne at the same time to provide the raiment. The relatives or friends of a deceased Chi- naman also prepare a feast and set it out | for the departed one. Thus the king of devils is satisfied, and after three days he returns to his abode in the infernal regions, the spirits go tbeir way in peace and the heathen is restored to his peace of mind for another year. The most important part of the festival is the feasting of Kwai Wong, his satanic majesty. For this an extraordinary repast is prepared, the principal feature of which is an immense pyramid cake, on the fop of which is a hand, made of choicest con- fectionery, which is supposed to represent the hand of Buddha, upon which rests all the blessings which are the result of the rites performed during the festival, The Chinaman who at the close of the feast can purloin this hand from the cake without being detected in the act will re- ceive all these blessings for a year and his good luck will be something phenominal. It is the successful accomplishment of this feat that has filled Ah Lung Wat with such joyfulness that he is spending money in celebrating the event to the utter aston- ishment of his Mongolian friends, so lav- ish is he in putting his savings into circue lation. For the past three aays the great cake has rested on a pedestal, in front of Ting Fow, the Goddess of Heaven, the idol wor- shiped by the Chinese at the Ting Tow Mu Temple in Waverly place. The period during which Kwai Wong was supposed to linger in the temple was up last evening, and a special guard was placed around the sacred band, but Ah Lung Wat watched his opportunity and made way with the token at a moment when the guards had relaxed their vigilance. He is a truck farmer with a patch ot land near the City, and now he expects 1o raise such vegetables as were never before seen or heard of. Ah Lung Wat was fortunate in more ways than one,'for a severe/cudgeling is the penalty of detection in the act. The feasting of the spirits will continue until the middle of the month. : g Elcho Gun Club Shoot.

Gov’t Report Ro | Baking Qm Powder ABSOLUTELY PURE WILLIAM BELCHER DEAD, The Eminent Jurist Passed Away at the Palace Early in the Morning. FAMED IN LEGAL CIRCLES. For More Than Thirty Years He Had Been Connected With the Callfornia Bar. William C. Belcher died at his rooms in the Palace Hotel at 3 o’clock yes- terday morning from a complication of disorders in which an acnte malarial con- dition and blood poisoning supervening from it played a prominent part. Mr. Belcher was brother of Judge Isaac S. Belcher of the Supreme Court Commission and of Judge Edward A. Bel- cher of the Buperior Court of this City. The late jurist has an eminent record in Masonic affairs, having for more than thirty years been chairman of the judiciary committee of the Grand Lodge, and was a member of the thrirty-third degree Scot- lgnfl.. but he failed to pass Riordan, amid the greatest excitement. Power won the match by fifteen yards. Time, 17 minutes. WOMEN’S PRESS SOCIETY, Fifth Annual Convention Will Be Held This Week—Reception ‘Wednesday.

M. of California; past grand commander of the Grand Com- mandery, and past grand bigh priest of the Royal Arch Masons. He had been prominent in all anti-debris mining litigation, being one of the counsels for the miners in the celebrated suit of Woodruff vs. North and Woodruff. Probably no attorney in the United States had managed more important cases before the Supreme Court than Judge Belcher. He was eminently a leader at the par. He was born in_ Stockbridge, Vt., in 1821. He graduated from the University of Vermont and afterward studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1856. He came to California in the early days and took up his residence in Marysville, where his brother, Isaac 8. Belcher, was lalready established in the practice of the aw. The two brothers formed agartnership under the name of “Peicher & Belcher.” The firm continued until his brother, Isaac S. Belcher, was raised to the Svpreme bench, about twenty years ago. g Mr. Belcher then came to San Francisco and became associated with E. B. Mastick & Son, then in tnhe practice of law, and settled down in offices still occupied by the present firm, ‘‘Mastick, Belcher & Mas- tick,”” at the corner of Commercial and Montgomery streets. He possessed a profound knowledge of the sciences and literature, being, perhaps, one of the best schoiars in California. His library, both professional and lay, was very large and finely selected. The cause that led indirectly to his death is attributed to an accident which befell him in the Yosemite Valley eight or nine yeurs ago. ‘While riding on the Yosemite stage coming from the valley, accompanied by his niece, Miss Taggart, the horses, which were young and fractious, became unruly and overturned the stage. Mr. Belcher was torown on a pile of rocks, sustaining severe injuries. One of his knees was broken and he was dangerously hurt internally. A young physician was found on the train, who attended him until he reached this City, where Dr. Lane took him under treatment. Mr. Belcher continued ill for the period of a vear and never really recovered from the shock of the accident.” He was areserved man in regard to himselfand seldom spoke of his physical ills, so that his friends were not aware until two weeks ago when he was confined to his bed of the serious condition of his health. Dr. Lane wasthen called and attended him until the hour of his death. _ Bix or eight ds&a ago he began to weaken ra&udly. hen he passed away, his niece, Miss Taggart, and his brothers were at his bedside. Miss Taggart is now prostrated with grief and lies veryill at the Palace Hotel. Mr. Belcher was unmarried. He leaves the two brothers mentioned above and two sisters, Mrs. Nathan Whimney of Ben- nington, N. H., and Mrs. J. B, T.ggnrt of Stockbridge, Vt., and another brother, James M. Belcher, of Pepperell, Mass. The funeral will take place at 2 o’clock Saturday, the 7th, and will be held under the auspices of the Grand Lodge of Masons of California. The remains will be es- corted to the grave by the commanderies of the Masonic Temple. The ceremony has been postponed until Saturday that the 8ir Knights now returning from the conclave at Boston may attend. WALKING MATOH. Power of Contra Costa County Defeats Riordan, the Handball Player. The two-mile walking match, square heel and toe, between John Riordan, the well-known handball player, and T. W. E. Power of Crockett, Contra Costa County, for a purse of $100 and a gold medal, took place yesterday afternoon in the Union handball court. Crockett was represented &y)n‘l.l the athletes in that town and Port sta. John O’Connor of Baden was agreed upon as referee, and W. McGilvray and J. Provost as judges. W. McManus, pro- prietor of the court, was starter. The two kept close together for a few hlis' when Power made a spurt and a lap between himself and Riordan. At the seventeenth lap Power put on another poems, “The Old Home at Butte” and “Water Hemlock,” by Mrs. Lillian H. | Shuey,and Mrs. Alice Kingsbury Cooley will ive a paper on *The Value of Dramatic iitermum to the Progress of Civilization.” On Wednesday evening there will be a reception at the Occidental Hotel, for which invitations have been issned. On Thursday at 12:30 the association will leave for an outing at Belvedere. The ladies will take a trip around the bay on the McDoweil Friday morning and on Saturday there will be an excursien to Mill Valley. NATIONALGUARD RUNNERS Company F Defeats Troop A in an Athletic Contest for Points. Events Well Contested, but Per- formances Poor—The Score Was 46 to 8l. Company F, N. G. C., secured a victory over Troop A of the Second Brigade yes- terday, in an athletic contest for points. The meet was held on the Olympic grounds and consisted of track and field events. First place counted five and sec- ond place two; the final score being, in- fautrymen 46, cavalrymen 31. The mili- tiamen, who do their marching afoot, carried off six first places and three sec- ond places, while their brothers of the saddle got three first and six second places. In addition to the honor of being victors Company I secured alarge pitcher, offered as a trophy by Major F. F. Follis of the Second Brigade. Generally speaking the performances, when compared with those of ordinary track and field athletes of longer and more careful training, were poor, but there were evidences of some yery good individual material that may be made more of if these friendly contests of athletic militia- men continue. Moore and the two Hawks brothers, of Company F, and Duncan and Epp of the troop are capable of better per- formances than those which secured their firsts in their events yesterday. Notwith- standing the slow time and the appearance of the score the races were prettily run and well contested to the finish. \ - 3 It is a new idea for the young business men composing the different companies of the National Guard to engage in such trials of their ability as athletes of the spiked shoe and the cinder track. Troop A may be said to have inangurated the practice, for it is from them that the challenge came after they were flushed with the success of tpde_ir recent exhibition of fancy bareback riding.

ACCUSED OF EMBEZZLEMENT. Supposed to Be on This Coast—An Effort Will Be Made to Extra- dite Them. A dispatch from Pheenix, Ariz., dated August 30, states that the Governor of that Territory received on August 29 a message from the Italian Consul at Den- ver asking him to arrest the Bingen broth- ers, Alfred and Gustavo, of the late bank- ing firm of Bingen Brothers of Genoa, Italy, on a charge of fraudulent bank- ruptey. The amount of money embezzled, ac- cording to the dispatch from Arizona, amounts to 960,000 lire. The two bankers sailed from Italy for America on August 2 and, according to the dispatch from the Italian Consul at Denver, are sup- posed to be either in Arizona or Southern California. Behind this dispatch there is quite an interesting story which recent advices from Europe have brought to light. The parties who are endeavoring to have the Bingen brothers arrested are the Anglo- Italian Bank, the Federal Bank of Zurich, Switzerland, and the Securities of Credit of Zurich. It is probable that if these two men are in Southern California they will soon make their way to this City, asit is infinitely more difficult to find menina large city than in a more sparsely popu- lated district. The Italian Consul at Den- ver has asked that the Bingen brothers be given up under the ‘‘comity of nations,” although no extradition treaty requires it. The Arizona dispatch, which states that 960.000 lire ($182,688) is the amount for which the Bingen brothers are defaulters, very much underrates the total, The crash of the Bingen bank has brought about al- most a panic in Genoa, such as has not ex- isted there for many years. The Fratelli Bingen were the leading bankers of Genoa. They were the local Rothschilds, so to speak. The bank was established many years ago by two brothers, and after their death was continued by the two sonsof the original founders, Alfred and Gustavo, the two who are now supposed to be on this coast. In partnership with them was their uncle, Adolfo. i Some years ago the uncle, distrusting the speculative tendencies of his nephews, retired from the firm with a fortune of about 4,000,000 lire, and has ever since lived at his villa near Porta Brignole. After the uncle was out of the firm the two brotbers began financial kite-flying. They earing’’ Italian stocks in partner- th some Paris firms, and when Ital- ian paper fell from 95 to 71 they made enormous gains. But their success em- boldened tbem, and they entered on other speculations which were not so successful. They bave been in difficulties now for some months and were forced to pay to their mother early this year 500,000 lire, which she withdrew from the business. For several months prior to their failure they were in such desperate straits that, among other things, they commenced sell- ing checks on London for cash at favorable interest, and then covering these checks by wire. In this way they obtained the | use of large sums of money for a few days at a time, but their telegram method went wrong one day, one of their checks wasnot honored, and the bank of Fratelli Bingen | was closed. B | _A panic foilowed in Genoa, the Stock Exchange suspended business, and finally compromise prices were set upon all stocks and sureties for adjustment. The price of Italian national securities rose after these bears had failed, the rate of exchange fell and the premium on gold rose. Thelosses to those concerned in the Bingen affair are very heavy, as there are pradtically no assets and the deposits of the bank and all | other securities seem to have disappeared. Two other banks have heen compelled to | suspend payment, Garibaldi & Co. of Porto Manrico and De Santis of Naples. The Garibaldi firm is a creditor to the amount of 1,200,000 lire and De Santis holds checks on the Bingen brothers to the amount of 500,000 lire. But this is not all, and as an illustration of the fine Italian work of the two brothers it is only necessary to add that the Banco di Roma holds their paper for 1,000,000 lire, the Danco Veneta for 400,000 lire, Ramella of Turin for 624,000 lire, the Credit Bank of Zurich for 200,000 lire, the Swiss Federal Bank for 200,000 lire and the Lander Bank for a very large sum, which is not yet known. A Berlin bank is also reported to have lost 800,000 marks with the Bingen brothers. One of the heaviest losers gby the failure is the Anglo-Austrian Bank. Its manage, Mr. Weinberg, is now at Genoa, where there are about fifty representatives of banks en- gaged in endeavoring to save what they can from the wreck. 1t is probable that these associated bank- ers have set on foot the measures to arrest the fieeing brothers. 1f the Bingen broth- ers are in Southern California the Italian Governmeént may make a similar request upon Governor Budd to that which has been already addrassed to Governor Hughes of Arizona Territory. Delivering up prisoners under the comity of nations is rather a nice question when no extradition treaty exists, and it is very doubtful how the matter would be regarded by Governor Budd. THE PAULIST FATHERS. Father Hedges, One of the Mission- aries, Preaches His First Sermon in This City. Father Hedges, Paulist Father, who in company with Father Clark arrived in this City about a week since to engage in missionary work, preached his first ser- mon in St. Mary’s Church yesterday evening, the subject being *‘The Reward of Faith.”” “We know of the existence of God by our mind,” said the father, ‘for his existence is made manifest by the wonders and beauties of nature and we believe in the personality of the Almighty by faith. We haye faith in Christ, who manifested the individuality of God. By the exercise of faith we get the reward, which is life everlasting. Not only must we have faith, but we must be just, pure in thought and act, honest and honor- able nng charitable. By the exercise of these virtues and of faith we obtain that great reward.” The sermon, of which this is but a very brief outline, was listened to with a great deal of attention by the large congregation that filled the church of the Paulist Fathers. 5 Fathers Hedges and Clark will com- mence their mission at Hollister on the 8th inst. and after that witl hold missions at Nevada City, Mariposa and Carson City, Nevada, which occupy their time until the 1st of November. They will then return to their home in this City, as it is one of the rules of the Paulist Fathers that they must be at their respective homes at Christmas and Easter. After that the fathers will visit other plac es and their time will be occupied until June. —_—————— Baseball Games.
