This production is one of the best that has beer offered at this house for some time. The ballets and the great transformation scene, ‘‘Seashells,” are very attractive. 3 There will be many new attractions at the Orphenm Music-hall this evening, and the bill arranged for to-night and the bal- ance of the week is one of many bright specialties.

CRUZAN, presented a millpond aspect | ng not only from the fact that it was | | a fair set-to, but that the right chap was THE NEW TUDES WHILE and now Judge Morrow, in the United States District Court, must settle the | amount of their claim. | *“Just to show you how reaching the | power of the Southern Pacific is in this 1 State, and how much I have to contend with against that corporation, let me tell |ycu a small story. I wanted to buy a gasoline launch recently, in a little scheme of mine, and offered to purchase the boat | at the owner's figure on condition that I found her satisfactory after a few weeks’ trial. The man refused for one reason, and that was that the Southern Pacific would never give him another contract if | T used his boat without buying her out- | right. Huntington would say the boat- | builder loaned his craft to run against the railroad. *‘Now, regarding the Monticello-Sunol- | Herald opposition between this City and | Vallejo, let me say that the Sunol is not fighting the Southern Pacific boat at all. | She is, with the Herald, trying to run the | Monticello off the route. Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co. say I dipped into their freight business. I only carried fruit and } vegetables from this City for the accommo- dation of the Vallejo marketmen, who wanted those articles early. I did not | take general freight and I offered all my ireight receipts (they never were over $2 per month) to the owners of the Sunol, if gers. Then, you see, I was willing to do the work and let Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co. collect the money. I know well that firm is fighting me solely in the interest of the Southern Pacific. “C. P. Huntington’s broad hand is on the Pacific Coast Steamship Company, Piper, Aden, Goodall & Co. and many other corporations that pretend to be free from the great octopus. So the Monticello is fighting the Herald and Sunol single handed and doing very well, and Hatch Brothers are not going back to Seattle just yet.” The American ship W. C. Babcock will soon begin to take in rock ballast for the Hawaian Islands, where she will load sugar for Philadelphia. Captain Watts of the little bark Sharp- shooter, which was towed into this port from Mexico dismantled, expected to have all the damages and claims against the | vessel adjusted this week.

Cruzan, the New Pastor—A Timely Discourse. The Olivet Congregational Church is a cozy little edifice. There is a warmth within that at once inspires devoticn. There isa glow about the whole building that imparts peace. The little church is at the corner of Sev- enteenth and Noe streets. Ii takes its name from the elevation on which the Savior stood when he preached the Sermon on the Mount to guide the footsteps of generations of men. The Congregation- alists generally name their churches after some picturesque chronicle in biblical his- tory. The Bethany Church derives its name from the little village in which Mary and Martha dwelt and where Christ was in the habit of visiting them. Ply- mouih, also a historical name, is often applied and so on down the procession of years titles of like significance ‘‘to Houses | where the Lord dwells.” The Rev. J. A. Cruzan is pastor of the Olivet Congregational Church. He isan | energetic man, full of fire and zeal, but | withal a calm Saul, frank, open-handed (& NEW TO-DAY. “ Pure and Sure.” eveland’s BAKING POWDER.

Rev. Mr. Cruzan preached a significant sermon from the text, Deut. xvii:16: “Ye shall henceforth return nomore this way,”’ at the Olivet Church last night. He said : “The ancient drew time in a three-foid picttire—time to come, the head of a fawn- ing dog; time present, the head of a lion crouching for a leap upon his prey, and time past, the head of a biting, snarling wolf. As you look back over the year 1895 do you cateh the glitter of the wolf’s teeth? I do notknow; but this I doknow, the text-fact is true, ‘Ye shall hencef orth return no more along the way’ of the old year, 1895. Its record is closed. The high- way of the old year is blocked up. “Thoughts throng upon us as we face this fact, Let me choose just a few for our meditation. And first the value of time, ‘old and threadbare.” Yes, so is the sun. light, the atmosphere and a mother’s loveg old, but none the less of value. The clos DISCOURSING ON PASTOR OF OLIVET CONGREGATIONAL THE DEATH OF ) AT . /'V,,, ,/‘,{/‘, AT il CHURCH, THE OLD YEAR, ~ [Sketched from lije by a “Call” artist.] IN CHARACTERISTIC PULPIT LAST EVENING. ATTI- of a good thrashing, but as it would not be politic to assault him aboard of the ship they waited till they caught him ashore. During tne period of their waiting they often frankly informed him that they “wouldn’t do a thing to him'’ when San Francisco free water front was reached. One of their number would be stripped for war and that boatswain would be a pulp whien the fight was finished. Millburn “only sawed wood while his | loving shipmates prepared and discussed his coming walloping, but it was tiresome at time They were nowise careful to keep him from being cog where the wind eddying around the decks could carry their words to his ears. They picked out their champion, and assisted him by advice and drill with.a pair of ola gloves to get into condition. Yesterday morning the ship docked, and the time was at hand. But, somewhat to their surprise, the boatswain who was ex- pected to avoid trouble gave them two minutes to get their man out on the wharf or he would begin on him right there. This was a somewhat high-nanded pro- ceeding, but they would give him all the war he required, and soon all were out on a secluded corner of the dock, Refgrees were chosen, a ring was formed and the men went to work. The boatswain showed up so poorly beside the big, bulky sailor that nobody would take up the bets freely offered upon the fight. But the battle all went the other way, and little Millburn slogged his opponent whenever he desired. He could use his fists, and the other man could only get hit and drop. He was so untitted for the work that he stupidly pro- longed the fight, getting unnecessarily whipped thereby. When he had been tinished Millburn begged the crew to pick out some more champiens, but they de- clined, and all hands went quietly back to the vessel. The men were glad that all of them had not been knocked out, and the whipped man was sorry he spoke. Carpenters were at work on the Monti- cello yesterday repairing the damage done in a collision with_the State tug Governor Irwin last week. Mr. Hatch, the owner of the steamer, stated that he had been try- ing to settle the libel case by the Southern Pacific Company, occasioned by the Min- eola towing his steamer into this port sev- eral months ago. “I offered the railroad company $500 for the service,”” said he, “but they .first | wanted $1500, then $1000. They refused K b ant of their | intentions, and in fact deliberated upon | the best mode of ‘‘putting him to sleep” | insurance companies will share propor- tionately the expense of the towage and repair bills. The crew of the big German ship C. H. ebrated their Christmas yesterday. Every yardarm, masthead and spar-end was decorated with a small green tree. Among the men were several musicians, who en- tertained the sailors and their guests after the Christmas dinner kad been eaten. FUNERAL OF A VETERAN. Jacob Wray’s Obsequies at the Pioneer Building Largely Attended. Jacob Wra®, a most exemplary and pop- ular citizen, died in San Francisco Satur- day morning after a prolonged and painful illn He was a Territorial Pioneer, h g arrived here on the bark St. James, via Cape Horn, in August, 1850. He was a native of Philadelphia, and at the time of his death was 73 years of age. Heem- barked in the butchering business, which he conducted unremittingly until his final sickness. He for many years was Official Inspector of Markets and Meats, and ranked as foremost among the members of the influential org anization known as the Butchers’ Protective Society. He was an earnest and enthusiastic fireman, a member of Monumental Volunteer Com- pany, and subsequently one of the found- ers of the Veteran Firemen’s Association. The funeral was held yesterday from their rooms in the Pioneer building and under the auspices of the order. The attendance was very large, comprising, besides other friends, nearly a hundred of his surviving brethren of tbe society. r E. B. Vreeland read very impressively the solemn ritual of the association. ‘W. C. R. Smith, in whose family the de- ceased had been a member for the last three years, sanz with his daug! ter, Mrs. J. Coad, the beantiful fune: hymn of “Nearer, My God, to Thee” in a manner ex- ceedingly pathetic and impressive. The following named veterans officiated as pall-bearers: R. Harrold, F. A. Will, T.

The venerable pioneer wasa widower and the last surviving representative of the family. | Watjen, lving at Green-street wharf, cel- | and magnanimous. In the pulpit his style is positive, convincing, impressive. He speaks extemporaneously. Occasion- ally, when lecturing on a_subject of great depth, he uses notes. His style is not unlike that of Talmage. Mr. Cruzan is still in the prime of years, though his hair is generously peppered by time. He is a Bostonian, but came to the Pacific Coast in 1877 and located with his family at Portland. He had responded to acallof the First Congregational Church of the northern city. He remained in Portland for six years and then went to the Hawaiian Islands, where he remained for a number of years and recuperated his health, Finaliy he came to Santa Cruz and later to the City. In all the churches over which he has presided Mr. Cruzan has met with a large measure of success. The congregation of which he is now pastor was organized on July 17, 1884. It was the outgrowth of a Sabbath-school, which began its work in 1878, Preaching began in 1882, C. W. Broadbent, a Congregational lay preacher, conducted the services very suc- cessfully for nearly three years. At the organization there were sixteen charter | members. One of the leading spirits was J. J. Macready, now in his eighty-third year. 2 Rev. M. A. Starr, the first clergyman to take charge, served as pastor until May, 1885, when he was succeeded by Rev. S. Witter, who continued the work until Se tember, 1886, when Rev. John Kiiball, editor of The Pacific, acted as pastor for a time. In July, 1888, Rev. Charles Wood was called to the pastorate. Deacon 8. 8. Smith of Plymouth Church gave the lot and assisted in the erection of the first church building. During Rev. Mr. Wood’s pastorate the old building was torn down and the present structure erected, the first service being held therein Sunday morning, March 17, 7839. Rey. Mr. Wood was succeeded in 1891 by Rev. H. Hammond Cole, who closed a very suc- cessful four years’ service in September of this year. Rev. J. A. Cruzan, the present pastor, began service with the church the 1st of December, 1895. Olivet Church has a loyal, harmonious membership, a growing and prosperous Sunday-school and all the subsidiary or- ganizations which usually are foundin a modern church, The spirit of the organ- ization is liberal and progressive. Intel- lectual beliefs and acceptance of creeds of this year brings us face to face with the fact that time has wings upon his feet. “If you would know the value of time listen to some of the world’s great minds: ‘Time,” said Seneca, ‘is the one thing of which it isa virtue to be covetous.” Dio- nysius said, ‘Heaven forbid that I should ever have any leisure time.” °Only a few minutes,” said Mitchell, the astronomer general, to a staff officer who urged that as an apology for delay ‘I have been in the habit of calculating the value of the one- thousandth part of a second.’ Old Dr. Johnson had the Greek, ‘For ihe night cometh,’ engraved on his watch dial. “The wise men of the ages valued the days and years as pearls. We face the fact thata year has gone from us forever, and that we have’ passed a milestone on that highway which passes through that gate- way of eternity—the grave. v **This second fact presses upon us. This is a most significant and opportune time to take account of stock. It is wise to know morally as well as financially where we stand. 5 *It is said that merchants fail from rem- nants. It is wise at the closing of the year to clear out_the old spiritual lumber. It would be wise for you business men to face squarely your worldly business. Isitona sound basis, not alone financially but mor- ally? What principles are you carrying with it? Do you take for yours that princely motto ‘Ich dien’ (I serve), or 18 your only standard the $? Young men would do well to take their bearings as the old_world drifts out into eternity past. “It would be wise for you Christians to face the condition of your church. A church, like a man, cannot stand still; it must_grow or die. Is this a growin church? But a church is made up of indi- viduals. Thie is a personal matter. Does the close of 1895 find a nmnqgr, more godly man than the opening? This sug- gests that these closing days of the old year are a height from which with cleared vision we can weigh results. Says Bonar: Not many lives, but only one have we, One, only one! How sacred should that onelife be, ‘That narrow span! . Day after day filled up with blessed toil, Hour after hour still bringing in new spoil. “Ig it true? What is vourlife? If you live all the years to come as you have lived this last one what will be the final result? The past is irrevocable, but the future is ours. ‘The battle is lost!” said a marshal to Napoleon. ‘Yes,’ said the great captain, with a glance at the sun, ‘but thereis time enough to win another.’” —{ this session. i ITHE KING OF THE LOBBY, Adolph Sutro’s Warning to the| MOATRGOT00S Members of Congress at Washington. A FORECLOSURE ASKED FOR. The Mayor Says Huntington Was a Trustee of the Government and Should Be Sued. “The matter is simple,” said Mayor Sutro yesterday in talking about the funding bitl, which the railroad company will try to engineer through Congress at “The Government of the United States is divided into three branches—legislative, executive and judi- cial. In this matter of the rallroad in- debtedness the legislative branch hasnoth- ing to doj; it belongs to the judicial, and it is the duty of the executive to move in the matter. The railroad owes money to the Government, which it says it cannot pay. ! That being the case it becomes a matter for the judiciary to pass upon, and it is the duty of ‘the President to instruct the Attorney-General to commence proceed- ings in foreclosure. it. Congress has nothing to do with re- funding the debt. If a man borrows money on a piece of property and is un- able to meei his obligation when it comes due, the holder of the mortgage com- mences an action to foreclose. " “Qur representative at Washington will urge, among other things that will be done to defeat this measure of the octopus, that this is a matter entirely outside the province of Congress. “The railroad is in desperate straits, the knife is at its throat,” and the Mayor illustrated his remark by his own fingers and neck. “It will do all it can to force this through if it can be done, but we will do what we can to preventit. Some of our committee are very energetic, but they are ail watched by the octopus, which is doing what it can to hinder them in their work. “There is another maiter,” continued the Mayor, “and that is that the members of the railroad ring were the trustees of the Government for the execution of a cer- tain trust. Instead of carrying out that trust they robbed the Government and are now asking for immunity for the crime they committed. The Government should commence an action against each indi- vidual and make him disgorge that which belongs to the people. There has been an action against Mrs. Stanford, but sheisa woman and she has the university in which the people are deeply interested, but why don’t they commence a suit against Huntington, who Is rolling in wealth, who has millions? He is the man to go after. “It is astonishing how indifferent the people of the State are to matters of the most vital importance to them. Hereisa corporation that is trying to squecze $80,000,000 from them, yet they remain passive. If the octopus can secure that it will in the future secure anything it wants and the people will not make an effort to prevent it.” The following is a copy of a telegram sent by Mayor Sutro to Washington last Friday. Two thousand copies have been printed. A copy will be delivered to each Senator and Representative in the Sen- ate and House and a copy will be left at the residence of each. Copies will also be sent to the principal newspapers in the East: Huntington, the king of the lobby, is hold- ing court again at Washington. Surrounded by an army of retainers, flunkeys and hire- lings, and fortified by a huge sack, he confi- dently believes that this time he will carry the day. %\»‘ice defeated at former sessions, but nothing aaunted, he is at it again, and with brazen assurance bade his flunkeys lie in wait to capture, if possible, the new members of Congress as fast as they arrived in Washington. The American people are now loudly declar- ing that our honor must be sustained by up- holding the Monroe doctrine. American honor isinvolved a thousandfold more in the ques- tion whether the American Congress will de- clare that there is one law for the rich corpora- tion and another for the poor man. Eighty millions are practically about to be given to these corruptionists; eighty millions to be saddled on the impoverished, enslaved and cowed people of the Pacific Coast, thereby to be ground into the dust for half & century to come. No legislation is required. Let the law take its natural course. As the mortgage falls due, default should be had, foreclosure take place ,and the roads sold to the highest bidder. Members of Congress, take warning. During the holidays many friends of the people are away, while nearly all the friends of the cor- ruptionists remain steadily at their posts. A march may be stolen on the House, and Huntington’s myrmidons, at an unguarded moment, may be victorious. Eternal vigilance is needed at this hour.
