THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, WEDNESDAY, MAY 27, 1896. 11 TG WL 0EY THE LW, Some Modification of the Old Transfer System Probable. NOVEL TRANSFER CARD. It Is One of the Numerous Sug- gestions Offered to the Company. PASSENGERS TO BE IDENTIFIED Not in Faver With the Railway Management Owing to the Punching Necessary. General Manager Vining of the Market- street Railway Company declures that as soon as the order relating to transfers is finally passed by the Snpervi;ors the com- pany stands ready to obey it. He added that some modification of the old system would probably be adopted, but just what he was not prepared to say. Ever since the transfer complications have attracted publicattention Mr. Vining has been in receipt of suggestions from people notonly in this City butfrom those in the larger cities of the country in refer- ence to solving the problem of preventing the traffic in transfers. Among these isa clever adaptation of a patented device used by the Rochester Railway Company of Rochester, N. Y. This, in addition to having the time and line transferred to punched into it, hasa group of seven miniature faces printed on it, five of men and two of women, one of | which is punched to identify the passen- ger. The portraits of the men show a olean-shaved face, one with a mustache, another with side whiskers, one with chin beard and one with a full beard. The por- traits of the women are supposed to rep- metly Vinin’ only was ’titled to one, see?” | The sentiments of the little man were | heartily indorsed by the Arabs about him. every passenger, who, through mistake or otherwise, held a check instead of a trans- fer, fought for his rights and battled to | remain on the car without submitting to a | second payment of fare, Manager Vining’s receipts would not be $75 greater than they used to be. 2 But_following up his_original line of thought **Brick’’ summarized the situation 1n his own terse way: “Vinin’ wasn’t a fightin’ us, he knows better dan dat. We're too powerful an’ he ain’t in our class. We did’im before an’ we did him after der check system an’ we’ll do 'im again. Der is one t'ing we're fraid of, an’ dat’s he might quit der trans- resent one a blonde and the other a bru- | fer business and trow der public and de nette. Underneath these faces appear the fig- ures *40,” flanked with a sign of addition on each side. .The idea is to punch the face nearest like the.passenger to whom the transfer JAN. 13 yound uopmug: 1195000 ¥ fioks ‘03 “Ay 01qeg 13 10 & m H 1 @ g = & g g & : i g H 3 E a0y 043 03 999(qNIe “uBD W[} 109)8 VD ‘0017 1S RjoUOIRA is issued and to record his approximate age by punching to the left if he appears under 5 years of age and to the right if over that age. The time limit on the sample transfer submitted is fifteen minutes, but this can be increased or reduced at the option of the issuing company. By this method it is claimed that the traflic in transfers will be made virtnally impossible, as it is not likely that within the time limit set a man resembling the one to whem the transfer is issued will turn up as a purchaser of a newspaper with a transfer premium. Mr. Vining, speaking of the numerous suggestions made to him, said that not one of them was available under the cir- cumstances that existed at Powell and Market. He explained that every second of the conductor’s time was fully occu- pied from the moment his car stopped at that point until it again started. The conductor had to punch his cheeks and pass them around to the passengers, then he had to assist in working the turntable and to coilect the fares before the car started, and all this, he added, had to be done often within a minute and a half. He explained further that under the check-transfer system a whole bunch of checks could be %unched at one time by the conductor, while if the identification transfer were used the conductor would have to make four separate punches for each passenger, which would require more time than he ever had, and would bea physical impossibility, when, as was often the case, the car contained between sixty and seventy passengers. “Why could not these transfers be given to each xussenger as he paid his fare?” was asked. *Well,” replied Mr. Vininf, “we do that on some of our cars and it has caused complaint.” Ao Ll THEY ARE SATISFIED. The Newsboys Care Little Whether Or Not the Check System Is Stopped. Little Eddie Greaney, the. newsboy, amore familiarly known as ‘‘Brick,” has very set ideas regarding the streetcar check and transfer system, £ He bas devoted much time to thinking about it —in fact his fellow-newseys around Powell and Market streets ascribe the solar hue of his locks to the great amount of thought he bas given in the premises. 3 “Dat man Vinin’ is a dead wise guy,” be assured a CaLw reporter last evening. “He won’t do a t'ing to der public now dat de Sup’s has gone and dubbed 'im on der transfer system. “You know what he has the gall to say?’ And the little solon of Cape Horn overlooked asking a passenger for his transfer check as he drew himself up -and demanded an answer. “He says he’s been makin’ $75 a day wit de check system, showin’ dat we kids use todo’im to dat amount every day when der was only transfers for us to work. ‘“He's dead off. We’s been makin’ just as much as we ever did, and we don’t care * if dey change der system or If dey don’t. “De only Ving dat eats us is dat Vinin’ b.do:’n‘ der public and der public is our s, “‘Dat $75 he’s & been makin’ is from ger guys who ‘wouldn’t get out an’ scrap; der sessen what paid two fares when ’giti-, kids down at der same time. “I'm no lawyer an’Idon’t know if he kin do dat *gitimetly ; but if he does we'll skate around an’ sell papers just like we use ter do an’ I guess we'll be able to eat breakfast as oiten as he does an’ enjoy it just as well.” The youngsters were quite put out that there were no riots on the street. Crowds come daily and nightly picnics for them. The weather was so warm yesteraay that ople were too enervated to battle for heir rights and they suffered imposition when a sacond fare was demanded rather than resist expulsion from the cars. The Dimond ordinance, which does away with the check agents and virtually restores the transfer system to its old standing, will come up for final passage before she Supervisors next Monday, and then must be signed by the Mayor. As acting Mayor Taylor has already voted in favor of tke ordinance it is quite likely he will sign the ordinance as soon as passed, and Third, Powell and Tenth streets, on Tuesday next, will be unadorned by the uniformed watchdogs of Manager Vining. i A THE POLICE CAUTIONED. Chlef Crowley Says They Must Not Lend Their Ald In Ejecting Pas~ sengers From Cars. The action of the four policemen in con- nection with the attempt of a conductor and gripman of a Castro-streei car to eject Fred Wagner, contractor, at Bixth and Market streets, Monday evening, hascalled forth the following notification from Chief Crowley: { OFFICE OF THE CHIEF oF POLICE, 8aN FrANCISCO, May 26, 1896, Lieutenant Birdsall: The Chief of Police directs that the following be published to the oflicers under your command : Itisno pariof the duty of an officer to col- lect fares or to aid in collecting fares on street- cars or elsewhere, nor 10 eject passengers nor 10 aid in ejecting passengers from the cars of the railroad company for npn-payment of fare. 1t is the duty of the officers at &il times to pre- serve the public peace and see that no injury is done to persons or property in their pres- ence. In case the cars are blockaded or the free passagé of the street or sidewalk shall be ob- structed by a crowd (except on the occasion of & public meeting) the officers shall disperse or keep them moving. See subdivision 6, section 26, order 1587, H. 8. HEALY, Clerk. Similar notifications were sent to the captains of the other divisions. t is not unlikely that the aggressive conduct of Policeman O’Day in forcibly throwing passengers off the rear platform of the Castro-street car wil! form a matter for investigation by the Board. of Police Commissioners. Wagner appeared in Judge Conilan’s court yesterday morning to answer the charge of battery fireferred against him by Conductor W. H. Brewster. By con- sent the hearing of the case was fixea for Friday next. BIDS FOR THE ROOF. City Hall Commissioners Open Tenders for Work on the Municipal Building.

The “steamer’’ had a long, sizzing sound yesterday. The steamer has “certain no- table qualities at all times. Yesterday its jagezed edges rose up in the heated atmos- phere very like a rugged giant in the land, and men took off their hats toit witha new reverence, They realized as they had never before done, what a thing had been accomplished when California evolved the steam beer. Yesterday was a very warm day. Warm days are uncommon in San Francisco, as has often been said, and when they teke their lonely place in the calendar, unex- pected as they are, they present curious studies in temperature—the effect of heat upon men in the mass; howa few degrees Fahrenheit, more or less, will divest a city full of people from their accustomed ways of living. For instance, the ordinary complexion of Kearny and Montgomery, and the other of the busy streets running north and south, was completely changed by the slant rays of the afternoon sun. The east side looked like the chosen path of desola- tion. Scarcely an individual was to be seen along its whole length. The blinds were drawn over the windows and the face of the buildings glared in the sun blank and deserted. Just across the street in the shade, a difference, say of fifty feet, there was a contrast presented that, if it continuea the year around, would run up the price of pmpert{ over there enormously. The sidewalk was crowded with people taking life as leisurely as they could and patron- izing certain lines of trade—the long, jagged, sizzing “steamer,” for instance— an astonishing fashion. People are very busy, or say they are, and yet it is remarkable how a little ascent of ¢he mercury in the tube will bring about a holiday—will practically suspend the course of trade. Things that “were 0 important that they must be done instanter take on ajvague uncertain aspect and are finally ‘yonponed until to-morrow. The whole City turned its attention yes- terday to getting on the shady side of the street, 80 to speak. All business but that which offered relief trom the heat lan- guished like the people. The ferry-boats were thronged with people all day, a very reat number of whom patronized them gor the fresh air and shelter from the sun they offered. Crowds of people rode back and forth between this City, Oakland, Tiburon and Sausalito without'leaving the boat except to secure and surrender their tickets, With East street almost deserted the ends of the projecting piers were crowded with Peoé)le getting as far out in the water as ible. Streetcars did an immense business and the Cliff House and other re- sorts were proportionately alive, And yet it was not hot yesterday as heat or hot” days are reckoned. The highest mark of the mercury was 91 deirees. At Fresno it rose to 102. At Los Angeles it stood at 96 for a time. At Yuma it climbed to 110. 4 . The forecast artist promises cooler ‘weather to-day in this City. AGHINST THE CHARTER A Warm but Thinly Attended Meeting of the Women’s. : League. Tt was a hot night Monday night for the American Women’s Liberal Leacue, and San Francisco, unused to the slumberous warmth, preferred to walk in sight of the blinking stars ratber than remain indoors and perspire. This was doubtless the reason why not more than 800 persons gathered within the classic walls of Metropolitan Tem: to hear arguments why the propo new, City charter should notheadopted. Seven- i | { handkerchi | was introduced, and #ead a we! | eighths of the people present were women, and they seemed to be disappointed be- cause no women appeared on tke stage and because the oppressiveness of the evening was not relicved by refreshing airs or the soul-stirring accents of dramatic declamation. Shortly after 8 o'clock Dr. J. E. Scott and John M. Reynolds appeared upon the platform. The doctor, very red in the face and mopping his brow with & damp , remarked, facetiously, that it was warm. This happy effort having been rewarded with a gen'nl smile, the doctor, with another dab at his forehead, remarked that it was ‘‘warmer and warm- est,” which caused two or three women 1n the front row to titter. Then the doctor, between wipes, explained that the meet- ing had been called for the purpose of showing that the proposed charter should not be adopted. Jobn M. Reynolds, a widely known writer on politico-economical subjects, -digested and thoughtful essay on the charter. He declared that the 100 reasons advanced by Secretary Freud of the Meschants' Asso- ciation why the chpoled charter should become the law of this municipality were | iust 100 insults directed at the intelligence of the peovle. The charter, he declared, had been framed in the mnterest of the monopolies and the corporations, and it placed serious stumbling-blocks in the way of the mu- nicipal ownership of the water supply, lights and so forth. It placed no safe- guaras around the municipality that did not already exist in the constitution and the laws of the State, and it was a sham and a fraud. At the close of the lecture Dr. Scott an- nounced that a young woman who had been waiting in one of the back rooms for the summons to appear upon the stage and sing the “‘Star-spangled Banner” had melted away, and that a gentleman who was to have made a speech on the charter had melted into thin air also. \ Then the audience goi up and melted out of the doors. Dinner to President Barilias. Captain Johnson of the steamer City of Syd- ney and Mrs. Johnson gave an elaborate diue ner yesterday to ex-President Barilias and xmfirs. Berillas of Guatemala at the Baldwin otel. About twenty invited guests were pres- ent. The banquet took plncesin the b-n?uzet hall. The decorations were of smilax and La France roses.

Dr. Bolton. HOW TO ACCOMPLISH IT Fed by Catholic ‘Chris- tianity. THE PRIMACY OF ST. PETER. Rome’s Faults, Past and Present. The Universal Gospel of Christ. day at the Episcopal Church of St. Mary the Virgin by the pastor, Rev. W. W. Bol- ton, is calculated to excite a discussion. It was entitled “The Reunion of Christen- dom.”” The tenor of it may be gleaned from the following excerpts: “It may be truly said,” began the pas- tor, ‘‘that among the millions, who this day in every part of the globe are keeping the feast of the Holy Ghost, the third per- son of the ever blessed trinity—there s one subject strictly akin to the feast itsell that in every earnest mind forces its way to the front and calls aloud for attention. This is the reunion of Catholic Christen- dom. For this is the birthday of the church. This 1s the day when God the Holy Ghost came personally to dwell among men, invisible to the eye, but known full well to the soul. This isthe day that saw the various members Christ the son of the eternal God had formed drawn together and made into a compact whole, through the one spirit that breathed himself into them. He made of many one and intended it so to remain, but man, in bis own willful way, has broken up the entity and to-day we find ourselyes in a divided Christendom. ‘It is a grief to us. Surely men cannot better spend the hours of the feast than in an endeavor to try to find some way in which the divisions may be healed and God's creation %ly yet again stand_before him a whole and a perfect thing. It will not come by compromise. It will come neither by absorption of the less, numeri- cally considered, by the greater, nor by individual conversions, so called, but time will do it. Let us, however, be careful to remember when we speak of the longed for oneness of the church, that there is a sense in which, though divided, we yet are one. “Catholic Christendom is most inti- mately united. It is one vast compact body, that feeds Anglican, Roman and Orthodox alike. We have wrecked the perfect outward handiwork of God, the Holy Ghost, and we can give ourselves no rest until we repair the heinous and out- rageous wrong thus done our God. We | have punishofinnocem men in the wreck, for we have been fighting when we shoul have been sending the good news of the Catholic faith far and wide to every nook and corner of the earth. We have also lost untold blessings for ourselves, for discipline is slack and the world has grasped many a position and firmly holds it that it never would have been able to take had the church always been one. “What mean we by the reunion of Christendom? We mean nothing short of the constitutional union which existed be- fore the brelk-ug of Western Christendom in the sixteenth century, together with union on similar lines with the Orthodox churches that broke away from the center of unity long centuries before our own crash came. There must needs be a center about which all the scattered forces may | gather, and that center was none other tand is to-day none other than the See of Rome. Men are now too much in earnest to repair the breaches of on | God’s earthly Zion to quibble any longer over what is a fact. Men say that to al- low this is to give away the whole position of the Anglican church. They say so be- | cause they are but surface thinkers.

Are your muscles strong? Is your vital power as vigorous as it used to be? Can you stand the same amount of exertion you could a few years ago? Answer these questions in your own mind and then if you find yourself in any respect the worse off you must know that theré is a reason for it. What is it ? Excesses, over-indulgence in the pleasures and passions of life, may have worn out your vitality. Maybe you have reached that age when you find the need of that reserve vital force which nature gives you; and mayhap you wasted it when you were young. “Burning the candle at both ends” is a common habit, and it often brings a man to an early grave.
