Chaplain Macomber on Religious Life and the Soldiery—Opinions of Royce. Captain John Harrison Macomber, chap- t Angel Island, addressed the Metho- chers’ meeting on “Religious Life : Army.” He said: composed of ten regiments of i artillery and twenty-five of ng a grand total of 25,000 men, tanding srmy, 1 pelieve, of any world that pretends to call itself e very important field for The men enlisted are of nearly alities, but the majority are Amerl- and many of them bright, intelligent and -d young men, some Of them having s from schools. The opinion obtains 1inds of many that the soldiery of our g army is made up of a low, ignorant men. That is & mistake. We have t men, but none, as formerly, who can- read or write.

B ccording to the regulations the chaplain su- ends the post schools, and this in itself nportant work, affording as'it does an ent opportunity not only to aid the men tuslly, but to_become acquainted with them and thus pave the way for religious work. t has been made by Congress and the sartment to improve the condition of ¥ ots, and in most fn- tances with success. No tramps need apply. \ man who would occupy the honorable posi- of an American soldier in these times must be able (0 give & satisfactory account of him- fand bave it indorsed by some respected 2.

I believe the ng man who possesses all the qualifications zo0d soldie d that includes moral can spend his three years of enlist- n the service in the right course and come out with money in his pocket ana be a better man physically, mentally and morally, sand and good sense. n but it requi ? The “army canteen” is superior to the old post trader’s establishment. The reli- interests of the army are mot as well i after as they should be, for to sup- 1y about 100 posts there are only thirty" post and four regimental chaplains, the with the colored regiments. All chap- ve the rank of captain, and yet there Jaine are those who would not only deprive us of the attendant privileges, but wipe us out of exist- euce nltogether. R The speaker showed that a chaplaincy is by no means a sinecure if the incumbent is conscientious in the discharge of his duties, and in conclusion deplored the lack of interest in the work, not alone on the part of the other officers, but the ministry as well. He commended Colonel Shafter’s course. Incidentally he referred to the fact that there have been 800 applications frou 1 desiring to fill the post vacated Howard. S. Bovard said the spirit of -xpressed by the fathers of this is misunderstood by those who would do away with religious ceremonies in the army. Religious liberty is not atheism. ITeedom to worship God does not mean freedom to abstain from wor- ship. Neither did the utterances of those fathers contemplate the debarring of the Bible from the public schools. Dr. Harris said the chaplains of the army and navy have the hardest sort of work. They have to struggle against great odds. He was sorry the law of compulsory attendance had been rescinded. He was in favor of re-enactment of that rule. “Sanctified tyranny’’ had its place in church_government. He believed in the strict discipline of the class leaders in his youthful days when veople were com- pelled to pray and talk at class meeting. A communication from Mrs. F Bovard, representing the Woman’s Home Missionary Society, stated 'the needs of the Fruitvale mission, and the ministers voted that a special eollection should " be taken at thé next missionary prayer meet- | ing for its relief. Dr. A. J. Nelson was introduced. He | said he was from Fort Smith, where Jeff Davis used to live. He bad understood that Professor Royce’s position was to be discussed and he had come prepared to give his views on that subject. He was re- quested to proceed on that line and he said: ““The greatest thinkers of the past| had no philosophical or_scientific concep- tion of God. It was to Socrates and Plato an inner revelation. All we can learn of God is ihrough the teaching of Jesus.” The doctor’s comments were greeted with hearty applause. . Dr. F. D. Bovard said he was delighted with Professor Royce. He had let d%ylight | into the men with whom he held his discus- | sion. He was pleased with him from first to last, and he hoped the professor would be invited to address the meeting. i Dr. Wythe said he had known Professor | Royce a long time and believed his ten- dency was toward orthodoxy. | The meeting was adjourned till the 23d inst. owing to the absence of most of the members, who will be at Pacific Grove. Baptist Ministers. | The Baptist Ministerial Union adopted | the following memorial, which was pre- | sented by Dr. Sunderland: To the Homorable Richard O'ney, State, Washington, D. tist Ministers' Un Francisco and | vicinity, in view of the recent outrages com- mitted upon missionaries in China in driving them from their homes in a wanton and cruel manner, jeopardizing their lives, destroying their property and sweeping away ata blow the fruits of years of labor and sacrifice, subjecting to violence and insult delicate women and help- Jess children, beg most respectfully but earn- estly urge upon your attention the follow- | ing considerations: | First—These outrages are not only in viola- | tion of the moral sense of all our people ana of | the civilized world, but they are in violation of treaty stipulations with China as acknowl- edged b the missionaries there and by the frequent | proclamations of the Emperor and his high officials acknowledging the legality of such | i al g the recent war | isters of foreign | missionaries to remain at | their posts, and promising all such the full protection of the Chinese Government. Second—That the missionaries are citizens of | this Nation, and their calling is recognized by | all eivilized nations as thoroughly legitimate, | and they are entitled to the full protection of this Nation as much as if engaged in any other | calling. Third—That the present tondition of the mis- sionaries, in exile from their homes, their fam- ilies broken up, their enterprises wrecked and | they themselves suffering great mental pain | and disappointment and not knowing to what extent even their lives are in jeopardy, while their friends in this country are necessarily in great and constant anxiety about them, de- Faands the most prompt and vigorous action of this Nation. # Fourth—That the payment of a money in- demmty alone {or the 10ss of property, inter- ests, time and life is notsatisfactory. ' There Shotld be & prompt and most thorough inves- tigation of the whole matter by a commission, headed by & consular officer of high'rank from this country, with other members of the com- Imission, in proper proportion, also qualifi citizens of this Nation; and the guilty parties, Whatever their rank or station, should be brought to speedy end proper punishment. The missionaries should be promptly reinstated in their places, with the most siringent guar- antees of entire protection. Andif the Chinese Government is not avle to make good such guarantees then our own and other uations concerned should have the rifhl to place gar- risons of their own at such places as may be Secretary of : The Bap- ~ | many kinds of spiritual endeavor, but the | | incumbent, otherwise it would be & good the long unchallenged residence of | 0ld-fashioned Methodis street Methodist Church next Sahbath, day for Pacific Grove.

Ross gave a paper on “Family Worship” at the Presbyterian Ministerial Union. He advocated family prayers as a necessary agency in spiritual growth. | Rev. Herbert Bevier, commenting upon it, said: “One of the weaknesses in Chris- | tian home life in California to-day is the | lack of family worship.”” | Rev. Mr. McBride thought there were | proper source of the power was the family. | Elder Roberts said he was of the opin- | ion that not one-fourth of the church mem- bers held family worship. Dr. Menten thought the home the most important educating influence. Rev. R. V. Griffiths thought if the lead- ers of family worship used the same thoughts and words in family worship it would lose most of its interest. Rev. Mr. Fish thought there was great danger from the intermarriage of Christian young women with ungodly young men. In such cases why shouldn’t the wife pray with her children even if her husband did not sympathize ? Rev. Donald Ross in closing the discus- sion said the better state of affairs in that respect could be brought about through pastoral relations. Reception to Bishop Warren.

A Test Question on Streetcar Transfers Before the Court. A case of great interest to streetcar pas- sengers was heard before Justice of the Peace Carroll yesterday. The point at issue involves the right of a passenger to use a transfer after the time punched on it has elapsed. William Cunningham boarded a Market- | street car at the ferry and rode to Powell street, where he was given a transfer to the Powell-street line. The transfer was Refore using the bit of pasteboard Cunningham stepped over to Fifth street and visited a friend. Tt was nearly 2 o'clock when he left the house and resumed his tripona Powell-street car. The conductor told Cun- ningham that the time on the transfer had expired, and that he would have to pay a fare. The parties differed in their state- ments as to what was said and done. Any- how, Cunningham got cff the car at Bush street and sued the railroad company for $299 damages. Cunningham claimed that even if the transier was punched it was good, accord- ing to law, if used within six months from the date of issue; also that the company was compelled, by a State law, to carry a passenger to the end of its line or connec- tions for a single fare. He testified that the conductor put his hand on his shoulder in getting him off the car at Bush street. Frank Kenville, the conductor, denied this, and stated that Cunningham got off the car voluntarily. “Haven’t you orders to_put passengers off the car who try to ride on an expired transfer, and who refuse to pay five cents?'’ ““No,"” answered the conductor. “The orders are tolet them alone. Of course we try to collect the fare, but if they re- fuse to pay it we let them alone. When I told Cunningham the transfer had expired he answered, ‘Yon can put me off. I want to see what I can do_about suing the com- pany for damages.’ "’ 5 The case hinges en the construction of a section in the code as to whether street railways come uunder, the same head as steam railways. The case was submitted on briefs, and will be decided in about a month. CIVIC FEDERATION. Articles of Incorporation Filed Yester- day in the County Clerk’s ofce.

THE KENNEDY HEIRS TALK, Additional Information Con- cerning the Shrinkage of the Estate. GRANDMA CHAIGNEAU'S LEGACY One Charge of $11,000 Said to Have Been Allowed for the Fees of Referee. Frederick E. Kennedy, the only surviv- ing direct heir of Edward KennedySr., the singular and remarkable shrinkage of whose estate was described in TaE CALL of Sunday morning, says the almost incredi- ble story has not half been told. His grandmother, Mrs. Chaigneau, con- firms young Kennedy’s assertion and furnishes much more pertinent informa- tion of an interesting character. Mrs. Edward Kennedy was Mrs. Chaig- neau’s daughter. The former survived her husband, who left 4 quarter of a mil- lion dollar estate, only sixteen months. In her will she leit her mother, Mrs. Chaigneau, $5000, and to her sister, Louise Chaigneau, then living, $2000. Grandma Chaigneau said yesterday afternoon that she had rever received as much as a 5-cent piece of her $5000 legacy. ‘When her second daughter, Louise Chaig- neau, died she left her mother the $2000 | which had been bejueathed to her by ber deceased sister, Mrs.r Edward Kennedy. | “I never received a 5-cent piece from that either,” said Grandma Chaigreau. “Then, as to those papers which, 1t was said, At- torney Rocke got from Fred while he was sick, I would like to add something more,” she continued. “We all thought Fred was going to die. Lawyer Roche came here and wanted the papers, accounts, bills, re- ceipts, and even the duplicate copies, and I put them in a satchel and he took them away with him. Afterward, when the | account of Mr. Mayne, the expert, was made out, I noticed that two items, one for 1000 and another for $270, which I knew ad been paid, were left out. I wentdown to Mr. Roche’s office and asked him for my original papers. He wished to know what I wanted them for, saying that the expert’s account was all right and I could have a copy of it. I told him the account was not correct and insisted on having the original bills, vouchers and receipts. He looked for them and said he could not find them. I was neverable to regain posses- sion of these papers. At the time the apers were taken away it was thought %xed would die, but you see he got well and now we are going to fight for our rights if it takes years. & “There has been much money coming into the estate of which we have never received any account. Soon after Mr. Kennedy’s, my son-in-law’s, deat the estate’s income was $500, $600 or §700a month. My daugh- ter had no benefits from the estate and left more than she received under the will. When I come to think of it I am con- vinced the income was $300 2 month.”” Concerning certain fees which are said to have been exorbitant, Frederick Eugene Kennedy said: *“In one instance a referee fee of $11,000 was allowed. The matter went_over from time to time for several months, and on stipulation of the attor- neys the court granted the continuances and also allowed the charge of $11,000.”" Attorney Linforth said that the work for which that $11,000 was allowed could actually have been performed in one day. The referece and the court were not to blame. The numerous continuances took up the time of the referee, and his indi- ;vem: to pay certain alleged attorney: | fees. Frederick Eugene XKennedy averred: “Out of the proceeds of the sal of a piece of property sold for $35,000 T lots on the Mission road. on the estate. “Ever since 1 was appointed admini: hefore I get through there will be a gran Close of the Career of a Once Prom) nent Pioneer Merchant and Mining Man. this City on August 28 at a ripe old age. eral merchandizse bu; moving then to Virgi during his active business career. | The deceased was much respected whel him when any weighty launched.
