8 fr——————————— 10 SPREAD THE LIGHT, San Anselmo Seminary Sends Out Two Presbyterian Workers. DR. SCOTT ATTACKS THE “POST.” Says the Paper Is the Recognized Organ of the Octopus—Congre- gational Club. Two ordinations were held yesterday by the San Francisco Presbytery of students who have just graduated from the San Anselmo Seminary. The ceremonies took place in the Presbyterian Mission Home, 920 Sacramento street, and were conducted by professors of the seminary and by other Presbyterian clergymen. The first ordination was that of C. R, Callendar, who leaves shortly for Laos, in the north of Siam, asa missionary for the Occidental Board. At 11:30 o’clock the Presbytery was called 1o order by Rev. F. “‘R. Farrand, the moderator, who presided at the ordination. The sermon was preached by Rev. H. C. Minton on the text, “With God all things are possible.” The preacher strongly ad- the past few months in the columns of certain newspapers articles conveying criticisms on the management of said home, coupled with charges against the board of directors of this association, which charges have been proven by a regularly appointed committee to have been faise and malicious, and inspired by un- worthy motives; therefore. be it Resolved, That this association appeal to the fair-minded people of this State, to_the sen se of justice inherent with honorable journalism and especially to the honor and fraternal feei- ing of all comrades of the Grand Army of the Republic of the Department of California and Nevada, and of the Associated Veterans of the Mexican War, that they first report to this as- sociation, all complaints, charges or grievan- ces of any mature, before rashly or unfairly giving publicity to the same, thereby enubung this association to impartislly investigate suc complaints and effect a remedy if any shall be found necessary. Resolved, That the directors of this assocla- tion, elected by us to seflorm the important and arduous dutles devolving upon them, serving asthey do without compensation, and selected by their comrades for this labor of love, have our unanimous and ungualified pledge of support in their efforts to ferret out abuses, if any shall be found to exist in the mansgement of the Veterans' Home, and the just punishment of all who may be found guilty of said abuses, as well as the punish- ment ot those who falsely and maliciously are endeavoring to bring our noble charity into disrepute before the people of this State. Resolved, That a copy of these resolutions be furnished to the public press. HE WAS CALLED DOWN, Ex-Attorney Philbrook Makes a Remark About a Case Beiug Fixed Which Judge Low Resents, T. H. Selvage, ex-District Attorney of Humboldt County, appeared in Judge Low’s court yesterday afternoon to answer a charge of fraudulent embezzlement and of being a party to a fraudulent trans- action. The complaining witness, H. B. Hol- Rev. D. M. Gillis of Tracy, and Rev. C. R. Missio: vocated foreign missions, and spoke many words calculated to cheer the missionary on his way and make him realize the im- portance eof his task in spreading the Gospel among the heathen. 5 Rev. 1. M. Condit gave the ordination prayer and consecrated Rev. C. R. Cal- lendar by the laying on of hands. Rev. W. H. Landon gave the ‘charge to the candidate, in which he pointed out the greve importance of his work and the wide sphere of usefulness which would be before him as a worker for the Occidental Board. At the afternoon session of the Presby- tery Donald M. Gillis, who bas just been graduated from San Anseimo, received the right of ordination. He has been called as evangelist to a church at Tracy, and be will divide his time between that charge and Newman. Dr. Mackenzie said the prayer and or- dained the candidate with the laying on of hands, and Rev. Mr. Jenks, Dr Macken- zie's assistant, gave the charge to theevan- gelist. The other business transacted by the Presbytery was the reading and accepting of a letter from Cedar Rapids, Ia., trans- ferring J. Kelly of -that town for ordina- tion in San Francisco. Mr. Kelly will sail for the Orient shortly after his ordination, as he intends to devote his life to medical missionary work. R. C. Stone, another graduate of San Anseimo Seminary, will shortly be or- dained by the Oakiand Presbytery and in- stalled at Elmhurst. Presbyterian Association. The subject of pew rent was discussed yesterday by the Presbyterian Ministerial Association. Rev. 8. S. Palmer of Oakland spoke strongly against the pew-rent sys- tem. Dr. Minton said: “Itis a question of finance in one way, and is not so much & matter of principle as of method.”’ The other pastors expressed, on the whole, opinions favorable to the abolition of pew rents, when the financial condition of the church made such a thing possible. Rev. Dr. Scott alluded to a communica- tion, which he stated had been received from the Evening Post, requesting tne ministers to furnish every week items cf interest for a church column. “The Post is one of the most sensational and scurril- ous sheets in the City.”’ he said. “‘It is trying to put itself on a basis of respect- ability by relying on the ministers, and we are told that it has a pious man to edit its church columns.” The doctor con- cluded by stating that he was strongly o] posed to countenancing a paper “‘which is .the recognized organ of the octopus.”” In considering what should be done with the Post’s request, the ministers finally re- solved to receive it and place it on file, Congregational Club, * The Congregational Monday Club is con- sidered to have languished during the re- cent convulsions in the First Church, and yesterday the members considered ways and means for causing a revival of interest. Many suggestions were made, the ma- jority of the vastors being in favor of abolishing laymen from the club and of excluding reporters, in order to make the sessions entirely spiritual and free from secular influences. The- following gentlemen were finally appointed a committee to revort on the best steps to take for securing the interests of .the club: Rev. E. L. Hood, v. M. ‘Willett, Rev. Philip Coombes, Rev. J. B, Orr, Rev. W. W, Scudder. Baptist Conference. The Monday session of the Baptist Preachers’ conference was occupied yes- terday with detailed reports of churches. On the whole the reports were encour- -aging, showing a number of baptisms and an improved financial condition. VETERANS’ HOME. Criticisms on Its Management Presented by the Association. At the regular annual meeting of the Veterans' Home Association held at its office in this City, Saturday, May 2, 1896, there being present and represented at such teeting twenty-two out of the twenty- four members at this time comprising such association, namely: Sidney J. Loop, Judge W. C. Burnett, J. H. Banfield, George W. Waits, Sol Cahen, J. H. Gar- rett, C. Masor Kinne, C. W. Arbuckle, E. 8. Gridley of Napa, Judge E. D. Ham of Napa, W. J. Ruddick, H. L. Tickner, C. H. Blinn, Joseph Stewart, ¥. Hanson, C. J. Handley, J. D. Barnett of Santa Rosa, G. H. Strohl of Napa, 8. W. Backus, Wil- Jiam L. Duncan, John C. Currier and Charles Lange, the full:ging resolutions were unanimously adoped : WHEREAS, The members of this association are at all times desirous of doing everyth! in their power for the best interesis of the association and for the Veterans’ Home at Yountville and its members; and whereas there has appeared from time 1o time during L3 - Callendar, Who Is uoing to Laos as a nary. lingsworth, said that he purchased a half interest ina sliding buckle patent from C. A. Conger covering the territorial rights of California, Oregon, Washington and Nevada, and afterward Selyage and others organized the Conger Sliding Buckle Com- pany, which usurped his rights. After hearing the evidence Judge Low dismissed the case, as it was a matter for the civil courts. Mr. Philbrook, who ap- peared for Hollingsworth, said he would take the case before the Grand Jury. He also threatened to have Selvage arrested {for obtaining money by false pratenses. “You can take the case before the Grand Jury it you like,”! retorted the Judge, “‘and if you get an indictment and secure a con- viction I will tender my resignation as a Police Judge.” Philbrook was excited, and when he got outside the courtroom he remarked in Sel- vage’s hearing that the case had been fixed. Selvage immediately reported the remark 1o the Judge and Philbrook was called into court, The Judge demanded an explanation from him and denied in emphatic terms that either Selvage or any one represent- ing him had spoken to him about the case. Mr. Philbrook said nothing in response and the matter was dropped. An Early Morning Blaze. Fire, the result of a defective flue, damaged the two-story dwelling of J. Gobel, on Ninth avenue between G and H streets, to the extent of $100 yesteraay morning. W. Howard occu- pled the building as a residence. The alarm was turned in from box 532. INSANE TO BE CARED FOR The Supervisors Make an Ap- propriation for That Purpose IN THE RECEIVING HOSPITAL. The Contract for Designing the Home for Dipsemaniacs Still in the Balance. The Board of Bupervisors are arranging for the care of the insane who are taken into custody and detained by the local authorities pending an investigation into their mental condition. The Health and Police Committee at its meeting on Friday decided to recommend that the unfortunates be sent to the Home for the Inebriates, the management of that institution having offered to care for thirty, more or less, at the rate of $435 per month. . Later a special meeting of the commit- tee was held to reconsider the matter, the members having arrived at the conclusion that the insane shouid be cared for in a public institution rather than in one con- ducted by private individuals. The original recommendation was changed to provide for an appropriation of $500, to be used for fitting up several rooms in the Receiving Hospital with padded walls and other arrangements nec- essary for the care of those who are men- tally unbalanced. The report of the committee was adopted without a dissenting voice, and later a resolution providing for the immediate expenditure of the money was passed unanimously. In spite of a request from Mayor Sutro that the boa take no action regarding the Pesthouse during his ab- sence on a vacation, an effort was made to pass the resolution locating the hospital on the Almshouse tract, and it only failed by one vote. Z =An effert to postpone action for two months was unsuccessful, and the matter finally went over for two weeks, Super- visor'Dimond stating that he would cer- tainly make an effort to bave the subject settled at that time, unless some sauisiac- tory showing could be made that a site is ! being negotiated for. A communication from W. C. Little, Mayor Sutro’s agent, was read, in which the agent announced that he was negotiat- ing for a suitable site for the hospital, and one which he thought would be satisfac- tory to the entire board. . An effort to settle the question whether or not the Home for Dipsomaniacs is to be built within the time stated in the appro- priation came to nanght, as usual. flm the resolution appointing William Mooser Jr, as srchitect to draw the plans was brought up Supervisor Dimond offered an amendment to Supervisor Wagner's mo- tion to pass, that the matter go over for six months. Supervisor Wagner wanted the delay reduced to one month, but both amendments were defeated by tie votes and the resolution was put at rest by seven Supervisors voting against it.
