Dr. Jacob Voorsanger defends his assertion that there are 2,000,000 Jewish people in the United States. Healsoina pointed manner answers Rev. Mr. Good- win’s criticism about the address which the rabbi delivered at the ministers’ meet- | ing Monday. When interviewed by a CALL representa- tive last night Dr. Voorsanger declined to talk about the matter, stating that he in- tended to prepare an elaborate reply. “Ido not wish to say anything at pres- ent,” he declared. *This letter that Mr. Goodwin has written is merely an old gas- | bubble of the kind that has been so com- mon of late.” “Have you statistics to support your ion that in the United States there 000 persens of the Hebrew faith ?” ked. “I have,” the rabbi replied, “and I will vresent these now.

It is true that only the head of the family is counted in Jewish congregations. “Mr. Goodwin adds that ‘it is bardly thinkable, however, that each head of a family represents fifteen persons—albeit the Jews generally adhere closely to the injunction given to Adam as to posterity.’ Che 130,39 Hebrew church members represent, as is admitted, only heads of families. That number must be multiplied by five to give the number of individuals in the families connected with the congre- gations. That gives us 6 80 persons. ““Again, in the large communities only about 25 per cent of the Hebrews usually belong to the congregations. Figuring it out on that basis there would be 2,609,920 Jews in the United States. But we will be more modest about it. Let us say that the percentage of those connected with the congregations is 33!5 per cent. That makes the number 1957440, which is pretty close te my assertion.” Taking up the subject of the Monday meeting of the ministers Dr. Voorsanger continued: NEW TO-DAY. “Iam not inclined to enter deeply into e——nt D0° N0 Med 10 enter deeply into AND BLEEDING My little boy was afflicted with Eczema in acute form for a year, during which we tried without success every known remedy.

He Refuses to Give the University Regents a Clear Deed to the Site. Mayor Sutro says that the Southern Pacific Company is behind the lack of action on the part of the regents of the State University in beginning work on the Affiliated Colleges, and that in his opinion the institution will never be built on the land he has donated as a site. The deed of gift of the land—which was made on October 8 last—contained a clanse making it void unless work was begun within six months. This period expired yesterday, and Regents Reinstein, Foote, Slack and Wallace with their attorney, Major Mhoon, called on the Mayor to ascertain whether or not an extension could be procured. Mr. Sutro expressed a willingness to grant any reasonable time, but when it was intimated to him that the proper thing to do was todeed the land outright to the regents he demurred, and the upshot of the matter was that no de- cision was arrived at, and other meetings must be heid before the question can fie settled. “Huntington’s hand again,” said the Mayor,” after the regents had left. “Though 1t may not be apparent to the general public, I can see the Yand of the octopus back of the peculiar actions of the regents. **Six months ago I offered them a site for the Affiliated Colleges and gave a deed for the land. It appears now that a clause was contained in the deed providing that the gift depended on their beginning work within six months. 1 do notremember just now why" that clause was inserted, ut it was certainly done with an object. *‘Now the octopus has taken advantage of that provision to harass me in this matter as it does in everytbingelse. The railroad company has sent forth the edict that the Affiliated Colleges must not be located where it will be of any benefit to me, and the rezents of the university have dilly- dallied along about accepting plans for the colleges until the six months is up and now they will try to make 1t appear that 1 am standing in the way of the building of the institution. “I am willing to give all the time they want if they will act squarely about the matter, but I don’t propose to give the lands 1nto the hands of political manipu- lators to handle them as they please. On July 1 next one-half of the appropriation for the college buildings, amounting to $125,000, will lapse unless that amount has , been expended by that time, so that but three months intervenes before they will lose half of their money. Itwould seem to me that if they meant business they would have begun work before this. “I trust that the matter will be settled so that the colleges can be located on the site I have dbnated, but I must confess | that I have my doubts about the outcome.” | C e e FIRST CHURCH DELEGATES. They Were Appointed Last Night to the Bay Conference. At the meeting of the First Congrega- tional Church last night the usual order of procedure was reversed. First came the business and then the devotional exer- cises. Deacon Vasconcellos, on motion of Church, on Ninth avenue, this afternoon at4:30 o’clock, to hear the petition of that church to be received into fellowship. This council wiil be composed in part of the pastor and a delegate from each of the following Congregational churches First, Plymouth, Bethany, Third, Fourth, Olivet, Bethlehem, Park, Richmond, lighth and Swedish. It will also include the following: Rev. L. L. Wirt, Rev. J. K. Harrison, Rev. H. H. Wikoff, Rev. George Mooar, D.D.. and Sidney Yarrow. Tne committee which called the council con. sisted of Edward Ewald, William Meadow- croit and R. A. Tuttle. On motion of Deacon Vasconcellos Dea- cons D. G. Dexter and A. J. Dearing were elecied delegates to the Bay Conference, Which is to meet at tne First Church, Berkeley, on Tuesday next. Its most im. portant work will be the hearing of charges of unministerial conduct against Rev. C. 0. Brown, pastor of the First Congrega- tional Church of this City. This church will have four votes at the Conference, as (1eacon Morse, by virtue of being a mem- a; member of the conference, and Pastor Brown will also go as a representative of his church. Dr. Brown in the course of last night’s meeting informed those in attendance that the session of the conference was open to everybody and urgently requested all who could manage it to be'there. He also in- vited those who wished to make a study of the Bibie to join his newly organized Bible class, which he stated now numbered 103 members. He was careful to avoid | even the semblance of seeking to induce | secessions from Mrs. Sarah Cooper’s Bible class by saying that his invitation was meant for those who did not already be- long to a class of this kind. At the close of the meeting two intend- ing communicants placed their names in the hands of the standing committee of the church. . A TRAVELING LIBRARY, Actor Mansflela’s Unique Idea for Trans- porting a Thousand Books. Richard Mansfield, the noted actor, who is soon to appear at the Baldwin Theater, bas introduced a novel ‘idea into the pri- vate carin which he travels. He carries about with bim wherever be goes so'many volumes of books that it has heretofore puzzled his ingenuity where to conveni- ently store them in his car so as to be able to lay his hands on any volume at any moment. It wasimpossible to place them on open shelves, as the swinging of the carto and fro and the continual jarring would naturally overturn them. A new device has therefore been made use of b; him which bids fair to be quite practical. He has had a false siding made to fit the coach, one that extends several feet from the regular wall, so that hundreds of vol- umes can there be conveniently stored without the slightest bother. The arti- ficial wall is so skillfully arranged that it can be raised in strips at will, and the books are disclosed as though resting on the shelves of a bookcase. ) Itis-estimated that Mr. Mansfield car- ries about with him while en tour 1000 books, and is constantly referring to them, Mr. Mansfield has raised himself to a com- manding Yosmon in the dramatic profes- sion’ within a remarkably brief period. He will bring his Garrick Theater Com- pany from New York with him. In addi- tion to ‘‘Beau Brummell,” which has been seen here, Mr. Manstield will lgresent his latest success, “The Story of Roaian, the Student,” founded upon Dostoyevski's great Russian novel, “Crime and Punish- ment.”” Gripman Cummings’ Denial, James Cummings wishes to state emphatic- ally that he was noton car 37, in which Miss Lou Reddan, 311 Taylor street, was injured in February 1sst. Mr. Cummings states that at that time he was at his home, 14 Valencia street. ——————— : Ladies’ Southern ties, $1 45, all shades, every toe.

E LIOUOR AS YOU LIKE IT 5. Cominsky’s Clever Scheme | on the County Bound- ary Line. A COUNTY LICENSE? NIT! | Queer Developments Arise From Secretary Holbrook’s Crusade Against Coursing. | The "crusade Officer Holbrook of the So- | ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals has started against the people who conduct coursing matches has developed | some ludicrous situations. Just as in the Venezuelan controversy, | it is a case of boundary iie that is crop- | | ping up, and over which there is every likelihood of being a squabble. In the mean time while Secretary Hol- brook is worrying himself and, incident- | ally, worrying the Ingleside Coursing Club, | the people out at Ocean View are sitting | back in their chairs and having a good | quiet laugh. They are on the boundary line between San Mateo and San Fran- | cisco counties, and that portion of the coursing acres in this county which is un- | be cut off entirely without interfering with | the sport. Asa matter of fact the cours- | ing is all2done in San Mateo County, and that portion of the 160 acres leased by Eu- | gene Casserly and M. W. Kerrigan which | is in San Francisco County is used solely | as a “hospital.” In other words, it con- | sists of about four acres, in which the | hares, wounded or otherwise disabled | while in transit from the Merced plains, are turned loose to recuperate so as to be | good and strong before being chased by thedogs. One of the funny incidents in connec- | tion with this boundary line is the rela- tionship of J. Comisky to San Francisco and San Mateo counties. The gentleman has a wayside house not far from the Abbey House, kept by Mr. Casserly, and no man ever was on the fence any better than is this same Mr. Comisky. The boundary line cuts diagonaily through his house, and while he serves drinks in San Francisco on one end of the bar he serves his San Mateo customers on the other end. Of course Mr. Comisky isin the United States—that he cannot help—and neces- sarily he pays an internal revenue license, But as to county license or licenses there are none around his place. The gentleman rightfully claims it would be a bardship for him to pay two licenses for one bar. That would amount to $210 yearly, or $126 for San Mateo and $84 for San Francisco. Instead, he takes the benefit of the doubt, and when the San Mateo license colleotor calls on him he serves him drinks on the San Francisco end of the bar, and Fred Lees could not get a toddy from Mr. Comisky any place but in San Mateo County to save his whiskers. 7 Comisky bought 30x125 feet of property at the boundary line, from Mrs. J. Ander- son, about fourteen months ago. It is on this property that he has built his inn. Mrs. Anderson has always paid her taxes on the property in San Mateo County, and it is nov likely that Mr. Comisky escapes that disbursement on the “heads I win, tails you lose” saloon business he has with the license collectors. But, to return to the Holbrook crusade. He has, so far, taken no action toward stopping the Ocean View people from con- ducting coursing matches, and it is not likely that he will. Strange to say, Messrs. Casserly and Kerrigan, who are mainly interested in the Ocean View grounds, are strong sup- porters of what Officer Holbrook has said in regard to the sport. Mr. Kerrigan, ior instance, said yesterday : 2 *‘Notwithstanding the opinion expressed by D. Shannon, J. R. Dixon, John Grace and J. H. Rosseter, that the killing of hares by dogs is not cruel, I say it is, and I am running coursing as a matter of busi- nessonly. I expect that our place will soon be closed up on the same grounds Officer Holbrook is advancing, but, nat- urally, action will have to be taken in San Mateo, not in San Franecisco. *‘It has been advanced that dogs tossed inch, small and medium patterns.

RELATIVE KNOWLEDGE. Professor Griggs Lectures at the Acad- emy of Natural Sciences. A large and appreciative audience en- joyed Professor Edward Howard Gnggs“ lecture on “The Relativity of Knowleage last night in the lecture-room of the Acad- emy of Sciences. s All human know!edge, the brilliant young Stanford professor contended, was relative. 1t took the ancients some time to arrive at a realizing sense of this truth. For example, Pythagoras and his school mingled a deal of mysticism in their teaching. One, they said, indicated the unity from which all other things proceed ; two, being an addition to one, signified di- versity, while three, being the union of one aud two, was made to figure the uni- verse or the combination of the creative unity with the created diversity. Others confounded soul and body, mind and mat- ter, and, while recognizing qualitative dif- ferences, sought to solve all problems by rules of their own devising. 7 The Sophists, the Atomistic Theorists, the Stoics and the Epicureans all had dif- fering solutions for the enigmas which confront the human intelligence at every turn. Socrates, said Professor Griggs, arrived pretty near the secret of true wisdom. One day he consulted an oracle which in an- swers to his questions told him he was the wisest man in Greece. The great philoso- pher accepted the oracular utterance in a way singularly worthy of bis mcu.iast. sim- plicity. “Every one in Greece,” he rea- soned, “thinks I know something, whereas I know that I know nothing; hence Iam wiser than they all.” ————————— The Debt Will Lapse. The legatees of James H. Dobinson have re- quested James M. Allen, the executor of the Dobinson estate, to withdraw the suit now |[. pending against the Church of the Advent. During the construction of the church Dobin. son advanced various sums of money, until, at his death, he was owed $20,112 41. For this action brought suit to recover, but it seems if it would be dropped. The legatees say if this suit is pressed it will destroy the church, & thing wnich was foreign to the testator’s ideas, and so they request that the case be dropped. An order authorizing the executor to dismiss the suit was made by Judge Slack. 37 NEW TO-DAY. HAMS! Best Brands (very mild cure) .. Very Choice Sugar-gured... Best Sugar-cured Picnic Hams.
