B HE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, T.UESDAY, JULY 28, 1896 A BUSY DAY FOR ~ THE MINISTERS, Excellent Papers Read Be- . fore the Local Organ- izations. A TALK BY BLACKHURST Mr. Strauss Speaks on “Christ the Inspiration of Modern Art” DR. C. C. BERRIOTT’S NEW PLAN Professor Josiah Keep Highly Appre- ciates David for Penning Psalm CIV. Yesterday was ministers’ day. The various local ministerial organizations met in regular conclave and discussed many questions of interest in the fold of the Good Shepherd. All these sessions were marked with an activity out of the ordinary. At the Congregational Monday Club, which met in the parlors of the Grand Hotel, the principal item was the reading of a paper by Meyer Strauss, entitled: “‘Christ the Inspiration of Modern Art.” Inspiration he held to be something higher than mere impulse. He treated it as an impulse of a peculiar kind, one in which the action of the brain is guided by an extraneous force, by the power of the Divine will. “‘Some men,” he said, “are 8o practical and so thoroughly imbued with business principles that the sight of a beautiful forest with it patriarchal, moss-bearded sentinels, its wealth of green foliage sway- 11g to and fro in the breeze, and its ever changing tints as the sunlight is reflected from the shining leaves, awakens in them no thought but the value of the timber contained therein. Such men seeonly the gold in the majestic mountain peaks and the money value of the flocks and herds grazing in the green pastures.” Truth be thought beautiful in contrast with faisehood, and believed the nearer one comes to truth in such degree one ap- -prosches the beantiful, and that the man with the love of God in his heart is never blind to the glories of nature. A free discussion followed the reading of the p?e By many it was heartily commended, and criticized by a few. Rev. John Currie then dwelt at some length on his work as an evangelist. Visi- tors at this meeting were the Rev. Mr. Taylor of Santa Cruz, the Rev. Mr. Cross of Saratoga and the Rev. Mr. Goodsell of Lodi. The Presbyterian Ministerial Union of this City was entertained at the Board of Foreign Missions on Sacramento street by Professor Josiah Keep of Mills Seminary, who read a paper entitled “The Natural- ists’ Psalm.” The paper had reference to Psalm CIV, and was listened to intently by all present. The essayists spoke of the poetic fervor and love of nature with which David was imbued, the geological manifestations, up- heavals and great changes miade in the preparation of the earth for its inhabi- }smx, and ended his dissertation as fol- lows: *In the sunshine, in the mountain, in the grove, in the sea—in al! of these let ns recoenize frequently the workings of Je- bovah. Let nature be studied with a de- vout and joyful spirit. Let these thoughts lead us to be glad and sing praise while we have any being, and may our meditations ‘be sweet both to ourseives and to him, whose we are and whom we serve.”’ Dr. C. C. Herriott of Minneapolis fol- Jowed with a discussion_of the Bible and biblical institutions. He said he desired to found here an institution similar to the Chicago biblical institution. The idea was very favorably commented upon, and a week from Monday was named as the day on which the union would be pleased to have bim elucidate his views on the subject and to consider mis proposi- tion. Rev. Dr. Farrand of the Howard Presby- terian Church stated that next Monday would be “quizz'’ day, and the meeting would be uncer the diretion of Rev. Mr, Jenks, associate pastor of the First Presby- terian Church. The Methodist preachers’ meeting in the German lecture hall of the Y. M. C. A, building was enlivened with an address by Major Blackhurst, who spoke on_the new Volunteer movement in the Salvation Army. He ssid the intention is to reach the masses outside the pale of Christian influ- ence, and in this they expect to be as ag- gressive as in the old movement. Then he explained the cause of the se- cession ard emphatically stated that the Volunteers are not antagonistic to the Salvation Army proper, and that there is no unfriendly spint existing between the two. “The property of the Volunteers,”’ he | continued, “is not to be centralized in one ! man, but will be incorporated and become distinetly an American institution.”’ An appeal by letter from Mr. Nardi, one of the Italian missionaries in this City, was read, asking for assistance in his la- bors. The following resolution was offered by Rev. Dr. J. D. Hammond and was unanimously adopted: Resolved, That the president be requested to write Bishop Newman setting forth the neces- sity’of the Jtalian work in California, and urg. ing an appfopriation by the missionary board i for the work. Reports were made concernmng the col- lections made to pay up the debts of the home and foreign missionary societies. . The collections aggregated a considerable sum, Then followed a general discussion of church topics in which most of the pastors . of the bay district participated. GAIST THE CHARTER, The Municipal Reform League Advises Citizens to Make Haste Slowly. 3 Arguments Directed Against the In. troduction of One-Man Power Into City Government. The following communication from the Municipal Reform League has been re- ceived: To the Citizens of San Framefsco: Whenever infamous acts of public officials demonstrate their incompetency or venslity the question is esked—What are you going to do about it? Recently the Supervisors, sitting as a Board of Equalization, have reduced the assessment f the corporatio Spring Valley Water Companv’s assessment Las been reduced by them from $4,405,534 to $3,405,534.

V‘Vh the same outrageous favoritism. hat are you going 1o do about i1? % A yearago the Civie Federation was agitating or the enforcement of the law r uiring the s;rent-nflw-y companies to pnflendem on : eir cars. The result was that the Supervisors rimediately repealed the law, which imposed fimeayy penalty,and substituted one which re- ieved the street-raiiroad companies from any f;’“tlty until they (the Supervisors) selected & b“'llfle device—and no suitable device has D selected by the Bupervisors—and the dcomplnizl are relieved of all responsibility or puger of prosecution. The same men are ibout to Ennt 8 franchise to the Geary-street ailroad Company years in advance of the ex- Piration ot the present franchise. What are you going to do about 1:7 Doubiless'a day of reckoning is coming, snd inen God help the associated villains who, all over this land, are debauching our_institu- tions, as plutocracy has llwlynsnne in every nation and n all times. But meantime, while We are striving for better conditions for the Teal producers of wealth, we can manitest our love for our City and our country by exerting our influence for the speedy ensctment of measures which wiil cure this national 2nd municipal disease, and to that énd we should work for & charter which will give the people power to review and authoritatively decixe by vote whether the acts of their representatives shall stand or mot. 1In other words the cure for the misrep- Tesentation of the people br their representa- tives is the referendum, which is the brief way of expressing the principle that important measures shall be submitted to the people. Any act which & certain number petition to be submitted to the electors should be put to the popular vote. The people should have the n‘gm to dis- charge unsatisfactory servants. Whenever & certain number of citizens petition for the discharge of an official the question should be submitted to the people. This is what is called the imperative mandate. Itis exasperating to those who love right and justice to know that we are now bound by unylelding systems, which a 0 framea and S0 complicated that we must mit to wrong because the wrongdoers cannot be reached ia 2 lawful manner by the people whom they be- tray, And it is still mors disheartening to see those who seem to wish to advance our City's welfare urging San Franciscans to adopt the proposed new charter, wnich has been iramed on the old lines which have proven ineffect- ive, Under the proposed charter the people would have no redress ior acts such as those apove referred to. If the proposed charter is adopted the As- sessor and Supervisors can engage in the same kind of pefarious work and—What are you Eoing to do about it? will still be the head- nes of the daily papers. The peace, happiness and safety of the peo- ple depends upon the faithful execution of their will, and there is no excuse for any other condition in a republic. Msny, how- ever, realize that unscrupulous men are fa: ioning our laws in their own interest, and that they are creating conditions which will in- volve us in a serious siruggle for existence and for tae supremacy of the masses. At this time we urge our tellow-citizens to thought- fully consider the situation and decide whether it will be better to secure for San Francisco 8 charter which is based upon the principle of Teat power in one man's hands or one which is jounded upon the principle of the true de- mocracy. No instances can be given of good coming from the carrying out of the one-man power principle. Itis an unwise and danger- ous measure. The proposed new charter is built upon the princivle of concentration of power in thie Mayor’s hands in defiance to all precedents of the growth of good government and freedom. It it should be adopted amendments would be very difficult to obiain, because it wouid be Decessary: able to desired changes. Second—If the Mayor disapproved it would require nine votes of the Supervisors to over- rule him. Third—Three-fifths of the electors must vote in favor of amendments. Fourth—All amendments must pass both houses of the State Legislature. ‘nerefore, fellow-citize; do not vote for this charter, which will leave you still in the power of & few men. In almost all the cities of the Nation men are misusing their official posi- tions pecause the people have not the power to control or remove them,and it would be just the seme under the proposed eharter. if it is defeated another more progressive charter can be formulated. Let ns wait until we can get a document which will extend our control over public servants and thus can dis- { honesty be stopped. This charter now offered | to you is a very careless revision of the one you rejected in 1887, Mv:sxcnui REFORM LEAGUE. . BcorT, President. P. J. HEALY, Secretary. —_— FOR THE NEW CHARTER. The Merchants’ Association Willing to Enlighten the Labor Couneil. The members of the Merchants' Asso- ciation evidently believe that the dale- gates to the San Francisco Labor Council are not all fully informed upon the new charter question, or there would not have been any hesitation in appointing dele- gates to the charter convention. In order that the council may be more enlightened, it it desirea to be, the following has been forwarded : 2 San Francisco Labor Council, City—GENTLE- MEN: It appears from fhe reporied proceed- ings of your Labor Council that a division of opinion exists regarding the new charter; and definite action, therefore, has been postroned until your next meeting in the appointment of two delegates to the charter convention, called by the Merchants' Association for An*u.st i2. Sincerely believing that the adoption of the new charter will prove of declsive advantage to the working people of SBan Francisco, and that none of the objections so {ir advanced should sway your council against it, I take the Iiberty of respectfully suggesting that your final decision will only be made aftér a thorough discussion and consideration of the exact provisions of the charter. During the past seven months I have made a careful and impartisi study of this proposed organic law to ascertain exactly its merits and demerits, as well as its comparstive value with the present comsolidation act and the more modern municipal governments in the United States and Europe. The labor 1nvolved in these researches has been for the sole pur- pose of arriving at acorrect and honest conclu- sion nFon the new cherter. For this special work I have neither asked nor received com- ‘nsation from any source, and &s no officer, irector or employe of the Merchants’ Associa. tion is a candidate for sny office in the gift of the peopie I expect no rewsrd other than the consciousness oi having performed the duty of 8 oitizen. No problem is franght with such serious con- sequences to the present and Juture gepers- tions of our people as the formation of an organic law. The workingmen of San Fran- cisco and the Labor Couucil have often hon- ored me with their confidence, and it would now be an sct of ingratitude on my part, at this eritical moment, t¢ withhold my bumble services in assisiing you to the right decision upon this fundamental law. Should your Labor Council therefore desire an address or under such rules #s you may prescribe, I am at your command. Sincerely yours, J. RICHARD FREUD. R FOR SLASHING A HORSE. Warrant Cut for the Arrest of Mrs. Charles Mitchell. W. J. MecMullen of 222 Ninth street swore to a complaint in Judge Conlan’s court yesterday charging Mrs. Charles Mitchell of Sweeneys alley with cruelty to animals. The warrant was placed in the hands of Policeman Coleman to serve, but on going to the Mitchell residence he found thatMrs. Mitchell had fled—at least she could not be found. Mrs. Mitchell is the woman who slashed a horse in the neck with a razor on Eighth street, near Folsom, on Ssturday night. The horse belonged to E. V. Sul- livan and was being driven by McMullen when it knocked down Mrs. Mitchell’s boy. The woman in a fit of ion rushed at McMullen with a razor, but he evaded her onslaught. Then sne siashed the neck of the horse, severing the jugular vein. ——— A Pll'l( Accident. Gabriel Frank bas sued J. English for £5000 dsmages for injuries sustained by reason of an accideni in Golden Gate Park on June 29, 1806.

Talks of Classified Assessments. KEW ROADS T0 PERPETUITY. What the Chosen Friends, the Knights of Honor and the Royal Arcanum Have Already Done. Nearly all of the fraternal beneficiary or- ganizations are being met with the start- ling question, Can they exist much longer under the present system ? More than a quarter of a century ago, when such organizations sprang into ex- istence, it was the idea of the founders that by the payment of a certain amount of money in monthly installments, “the level rate,” as it was called, sufficient could be raised to warrant the individual association in paying a stated amount to the widow, orphuns or near relativesofa deceased member. 1t was the impression that as death carried away members the vacancies would be filled by new members and that the number of assessments would vary but little each year. The expectation was not realized as to the replenishment by new members, and a result was that there came an increase in the number of assessments, and finally a rule wasadopted that only a certain amount could be col- lected yearly, and that should be usea for the payment of death claims. When, however, there was an excess of deaths in the jurisdiction and there was not money enongh collected by the limited assess- mants to meet all the claims, the deficit was made up from the general body of the order by a general per capita tax, and in that way all the obligations were met. This, however, bas been found not to be as successful as was anticipated, and now the various organizations, as their mem- bers are advancing in age, are considering the best plans to retain and increase mem- bership, and at the same time make the assessments equitable and not onerous. One of the great questions that occupied the attention of the fraternal congress re- céntly held was that of graded or classified assessments, and the almost unanimous opinion was that such a plan wonld be the only means of keeping up the life of each oreanization. The first organization to make a radical change was the Order of Chosen Friends, which adopted what is now known as “the Morse plan,” devised by Supreme Coun- cilor Morse of New York City. When this was put into operation in the latter part of last year many of the members who had been in the association for many years, indignant that assessments should be in- creased on account of age, dropped their membership, and found themselves with- out protection, as they were too old to join other organizations or were unable to pass an examination before a medicai examiner. Many of these are now seek- inz to be reinstated. This order has a membership of more than 40,000, and since its foundation in 1879 has disbursed more than $10,000,000 to beneficiaries. The Royal Arcanum at the last Supreme Council session discussed the matter of change of assessments and referred the | matter to a committee to present a plan at the next session. This has 2 membership of 170,000 and has paid in benefits nearly $33,000,000. The Knights of Honor ,with a membership of over 121.000, and which has disbursed more than $52,000,000 since its organization in 1873, has within a few weks changed its manner of assessments and is now working under a graded plan, and pow the Ancient Order of United Workmen, one of the oldest and largest numerically in the United States, has fallen into line and has at the recently held session in Buffalo, N. Y., changed the method of assessment and adopted a new plan which will shortly be put into opera- tion. This order was founded in 1868, has a membership of 345000, and it has dis- bursed in death benefits $59,000,000. David S. Hirshberg, grand recorder, who was a del-gate from this State to the Su- preme Lodge, in discussing the new plan, said: “This legislation in regard to assess- ments is the most important eyer bhad in the order. The tabie of rates has already been published in the fraternai columns of Tae Carr. The rates are not as some people believe, graded. In the plan adopted by the A. 0. U. W. the advance is made everfvhflve years up to the age of 55, when the increase ceases ana the rate re- mains the same after that. **All Grand Lodge sevarate jurisdictions that have received relief under the law for the years 1894 and 1895 and shall receive relief under that law for 1896, whose ma: mum is now twenty-four or over, shall now adont this plan as a condition prece- dent to relief after the year 1896, **An application of the classified rates as adopted for the jurisdiction of Californi if the same had been in operation_ for the vear 1895, would have produced $547.- 738 06, or $17,738 06 more than the liabil- ity incurred for 265 death losses for that year. The jurisdiction would have been in a position to discharge its own obliga- tions and would not have been an appli- cant for relief. Members under 54 years would have paid an excess over their lia- bility of $88,918 40, whereas those of 55 ana over would not have discharged the:r obli- gations by $71,180 32, which would have been paid, however, by thie excess pay- ments made by those 54 years old and un- der and would still have left an excessof $17,738 06. “The maximum number of assessments under the classified rate will be twelve; that is to say one assessment per month, provided the death losses of the iim'inlici tion necessitate that number of assess- ments, If by introduction of new members in the lower agesand a generally increased membership the obligations of the juris- diction can be discharged with a less num- ber of assessments than twelve the ‘officers will not be required to levy assessments nd the number requi to meet the obligations. Should there be a deficiency aiter the leyy of the twelve assessments such deficiency will be met under an appli- cation of the relief law as at present exist- ing. Tt is to be noticed that under the clas- sified rate sufficient money is provided to aischarge the obligations for each group of ages, and those below the meridian of contribute an amount in advance of ir mortuary cost to equelize the cost of those above the m ian. To prev cessive cost to the members in the older ages who have been in membershi, many years, and asa T exemplifica- tion of the fraternal element of the insti- tution, these and the younger ages supply the deficiency, and if any remaining de- ficiency exists. which is unlikely, it is &rorldod for through the application of e relief law. *An application to a1l the jurisdictions Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castoria. of the rates referred to has been made by dividing the members into groups of five years, and sufficient money is reahized in every case to justify the predictions of the beneficial commission that aftera long and careful investigation recommended the plan adopted. 5 “The investigations of the commission left the conclusion that the old plan of the Ancient Order United Workmen is supe- rior to that of any in use; but grave donbts existed as to being able to perpetuate the order under the level rate of assessments. The perpetuity of the order was the con- trolling motive of the commission, cqupled with that of placing the order on a com- titive basis. These results have happily g:en mathematically and scientifically worked out.” RIGHTS OF WOMEN. They Wish for Their Fair Share of Gold and Silver—Also to Vote. “The Silver Question” was to have been the feature of yesterday’s session of the Pacific Coast Women’s Press Association and William H. Mills was announced to lead the discussion, but ‘“‘circumstances alter cases.”’ Silver was virtually ignored, in consequence of the failure of Mr. Mills toappear. The star of the gathering was Miss Susan B. Antbony and the burden of all the discussion was woman suffrage. President Mrs. Ada H. Van Pelt was in the chair, with Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper seated upon her right and Miss Anthony upon her left. It was a modern triumvi- rate for the promotion of woman's rights. After songs by Edwin Thornton, accom- panied on the piano by Miss Mattie Capell, and Mrs. Eva Wren accompanied by Miss Mabel Hussey, the president introduced Miss Anthony. “All I know concerning silver,’ she said, “is that we women do not get our fair share of it, neither do we of gold. Consequently, jwe don’t care one iota if the finances of the country be placed upon a basis of gold or silver. What we wish isa. just share of whatever money is current.’ Miss Anthony at this point dropped the further consideration of National finances and ran on, in her characteristic way, ad- vocating woman suffrage. She said that platforms of all political parties contained planks recognizing the rights of women. t did not, accordingly, matter materially which one succeeded, but what the women shotld do was 1o taks the stump in the coming campaign and advocate constitu- tional amendment 11, giving women the ballot. i Miss Mabel ITussey recited, in effective style, a tale from Browning, and was suc- ceeded by Miss Ida Harper, Colonel P. T. Dickinson and Mrs. Sarah B. Cooper in brief addresses upon the social and politi-, cal rights of women. ———— Benefit to Charles E. Cook.
