THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 17, 1896. ALYSIS OF THE | PRIMARY VOTE, Control of the County Com- mittee Is the Next Battle. PRECEDENT OF A JUDGE A Little Speech to Reporters That Was Duly Ap- preciated. COLORED CITIZENS’ STANDING. | | Fred Stratton, Says Politics Are a! Distinct Detriment to a Lawyer. OARLAND OFFICE SAN FraNcisco CALL,) ! 908 Broadway, Aug. 16. | The great Congressional primary is over and partisans are not now wasting the | time in congratulating Hilborn or condol- | ing with Frick. They are already looking | to the future ana trying to figure out what | eifect yesterday’s work will have on the | coming County Conventiion. The “reform” party is at present victorious and will as- | suredly name the next Congressional Com- mittee. The courty committee is of vastly more importance to the element that would rule in Alameda County, and in a few weeks’ time the battle for its control will have to be fought, ana it will be more bitterly contested than was the primary | of yesterday. The Frick element will need to fight hard as itis no secret that the| strength of the old linersas developed | yesterday was a surprise to the new fac- | tion. Now that the Congressional fight is disposed of Frick and Hilborn will hardly be mentioned, but the fight for life will be none the less torrid. There are several interesting features in the result of yesterday's fizht, and al- though Frick only obtained nine out of forty-seven delegates, it would be very erroneous to suppose that these figures represent their proportionate strength. The exact proportion is really five to six when the whole vote of the county is con- | sidered. Outof nearly 12,000 votes, Hil- born’s majority was but 1001. These figures | show how evenly the party is divided as | between the merits of the two men. To equalize these respective strengths or even to turn the balance of power is a task not at all formidable to some Alameda County ! politicians, and as ability to manage af- | fairs is about as equally divided as the | votes, nothing further is nceded to shaw | how keen will be the fight for the control ; | The repertoire is as follows: | Henry Arthur Jones, | Henry Arthur Jones, * Whiting called at the County Jail to-day and identified William Rogers as the man who had auged ber out of money by Tep- resenting that he knew her relatives in the East.

It has been Mr. Froh- man’s purpose in organizing this company to make it symmetrical and evenly bal- anced; a collection of players at home in jllustrating the lighest comedies and the most intense dramas. Within the last’ few years the Empire Stock Company, both at its own theater, and in the leading cities throughout the country, has appeared in the plays of the most distinguished dramatists in this country, of England and of France. Mr. Frohman announces the following list of actors to appear here as members of the Empire Stock Company. The leading heroic role will be played by William Fav- ersham and Viola Allen continues as lead- ing woman. Others especially worthy of mention, whose names mean quite as much as any adjective description, are J. E. Dodson, Ferdinand Gottschalk, Robert Edeson, E. Y. Backus, William H. Cromp- ton, Charles Day, Jamison Lee Kinney, George C. Peares, Annie Irish, Yda Con- quest, May Robson, Jane Harwar, Ellen Gail, Lotta Nicoll and Katherine Mulkina.

Q@AKLAND, Car., Aug. 16.—The expo- sition will start on 1ts third week to-mor- row. A genuine cake walk will be the feature of the evening. The musical pro- gramme will be as follows: March, “Whistling Coon,”” Weldon; overture, “Ten Minutes With the Minstrels,” Bow- ron; “Dat Cake Walk,” Lamp; schot- tische, **Ma Angeline,” Lee Johnson; “The Darkies’ Jubilee,” Turner; medley, “The Black Brigade,’” Beyer; “Darkies’ Patrol,” Lansing; march, “‘King Cotton,” Sousa.

His friends gath- | ered $40 together and came to his relief. | The major, it is stated, showed a knife at the polls. WITH THE UNITARIANS The Berkeley Christian- Bible Seminary Will Occupy Stiles Hall. Another Religious Sect Is Now Es. tablished in the University Students’ Building. BERKELEY, CarL., Aug. 16.—The new Berkeley Bible Seminary will open to- morrow and will oceupy during the first year the upper auditorium of Stiles Hall. The establishment of this school of the Christian church in Stiles Hall gives the Unitarians a companion sect in a possible reopening of the fierce controversy that has raged with regard to the propriety of allowing religious services of a certain creed to' be held in the hall, which is a of the county committee. Hints are being dropped that the Republican votes for | Congress will be as divided as at yester- | day’s primaries. Such work is heartily | condemned by Ffick, who undoubtedly | will vote for his late opponent. Thére is more Republicanism than per- t sonality in the party in this county, and | for any one to insinuate that men like W. | H. Chickering, George W. Reed, Victor | Metcalf, Dr. Fisher and Dr. J.

Judge Greene rather surprised the news- paper men, who were waiting to hear the report of the Grand Jury last Wednesday. For the benefit of the press,” he said, “I will say that the Grand Jury has re- turned nine indietments. As you know, gentlemen, the names of the parties can- | not be made public under the law until they are arrested.”” The usual practice is to carry off the papers with as much secrecy as though they were death war- rants issuea by some local eonncil of ten. Judge Greene is one o the few county offi- cials who do not consider the average newspaper correspondent particularly in- ferior to the average political office-holder in the matter of discretion. Fred S. Stratton has contributed an article to the High School magazine which should be read by the hundreds of youths who are considering the advisa- bility of entering the law, politics or the university. Fred wes a High School gradu- ate of the centennial year class. “The pursuit of politics,” says Mr. Stratton, is not, in cities at least, of any assistance to the attorney as such. It is| rather a distinct detriment. Political | success seldom brings desirable clients, | and this should be thoroughly understood | by the legal student. In the early years, | however, politics may with propriety be | cultivated merely as an introduction to | the public and as a means of enlarging | acquaintance. | “To prepare for the law nothing is more | requisite than a careful preliminary edu- cation extending, if possible, through the | university. As to the Ilatter, however, sucoess is cften obtained withoutit. Too many young men are anxious to econo- mize the three or four years passed ina higher collegiate course. This, however, unless a matter of strict necessity, is a mistake,” After reading the above remarks it is in- feresting tolearn that Attorney Stratton is doing his best to get a seat in the next | Senate. g | The position occupied by the colored citizens of this county was very clearly shown when they had their day atthe exposition last week. The musical di- rector arranged a programme that was suggestive of a Georgia Barbary Coast. “Cakewalk,” *“Whistling Coon,” “Black Brigade” and “Ma Angeline”’ figured con- spicuously. As the idea of the manage- ment was to turn the programme over to the colored ecitizens and let the race show to tne best possible advantage, a'protest wes entered against the apparent though unintentional insalt, and the result showed the wisdom of according the re- spect due the race to its local representa- tives. . The evening was one of music, song and oratory and was enjoyed by a packed house, who were unammously of the opinion that the talent was equal to any that has yet been furnished at the exposi- tion. When the Black Patti sang Friday afternoon one of the most cultured audi- ences that could be gathered in this city applauded her. *‘Dat New Bully” has no place in local colored society. 8. W. B.

Orthodox divines of Berkeley have more than once vigorously protested against the rental of the hall to Unitarians. “I do not know that there has been any opposition to our occupying tke hall,” said Dr. Jefferson, president of the semi- nary. ‘‘Atany rate, our contract to rent the auditorium is closed, and so I suppose the matter is settled.” About twenty students will enter for | the first year. Regular classes will be or- ganized to-morrow in Old Testament, his- tory and literature, and in the life of Christ. Dr. Jefferson will deliver a course | of lectures on *‘The Importance, Princi- les and Methods of Biblical Study.” "hese will be delivered on ‘Wednesoay afternoons at 4 o’clock, unless | another” hour shall be found to be more desirable. All the classes and lectures are open not only to regular students of the seminary, but also to all other persons who desire to attend. No tuition or other fees are charged by the seminary for any of the work, and all persons are welcome to avail themselves of 1ts advantages. The seminary is supported by an en- dowment, and 1s in Berkeley for the gocd it can do. The College of Mines. BERKELEY, CAL., Aug. 16.—An unusu- ally large proportion of the new classatthe State University are students in the min- ing college, which appears to be enjoying a sort of boom. “The increase in the number of mining students is the result of the favorable loca- tion of the university in one of the most interesting mining regions of the worid.” said Professor Senger, chairman of the faculty committee on students’ creden- tials. “The college bids fair to grew into oneof the greatest mining colleges in the world. “The university class of 1900 will be slightly larger than thatof '99. In spite of severe entrance requirements, the num- ber of admissions to freshman standing at yruem exceeds the total admission to reshman standing during the last college year. The number of graduate students will also be larger than during the year 1895-96." To-morrow the freshmen will register, and on Tuesday they will be addressed by the president of the university. Church Services. ALAMEDA, Car.,, Aug. 16.—Rev. F. Bovard of the Park-street M. E. Church exchanged pulpits this morning with Rev. Alfred Kummer, D.D., of Oakland. Professor Coe of Evanstown University of Illinois occupied the pulpit of the First Presbyterian Church this evening. His subject was “*Christianity and Evolution.” At the Baptist Church Rev. J. F. Moody took as his themes, ‘‘Gathered Jewels” and ‘“Workers Together.” Rev. Dodson preached in the morning at the Uniterian Church. His subject was “The Evolution of a Sacrament.” At the Congregational Church Rev. Jee Gam spoke in the morning of the work done in_California by the American Mis- sionary Society among the Cninese.

ALAMEDA, Carn, Aug. 16.—The old Newport House, owned by John Winfield, at the corner of Central avenue, near Sec- ond, burned down last night. The loss was $3000. The property is supposed to have been fully insured. The fire was caused by an explosion of coal oil, the alarm being turneain at 10:30 o’clock from box 12. The house was an old landmark of the West End, and was well known when the Newport baths near it were flourishing. —————— Training of a Soul. Rev. Dr. Dille in his sermon 1dst night com- pared the training of the soul for heaven to the training of an athlete who contemplates the winning of a prize.

CAKLAND TAKES IT ALL. The Interior Demands Recogni- tion on the Republi- can Ticket. LANGAN THEIR FAVORITE. Only Two Judges to Be Elected and Already There Are Sev- eral Candidates. OAxLAND OFFICE SAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Aug. 16. The interior of the county has decided that all the nominations at the disposal of is still holding steadfastly to the religion of Christ. But all Hindoos are not like this one. There are zealous Christians among them; there are lukewarm Chris- tians; there are hypocrites. Humanity is the same in India 8s in America. * Mr. Perkins believes that the reclama- tion of India from the narrowing effects of Hindooism with its “insurmountable system of castes will be accomplished in time by Christianity and largely by the railroads, the castes being compelled to mingle to a certain extent during railroad travel. He is the first graduate of the State University Who ever went into the missionary field. Fifteen years ago he became a Christian_and gave up the law for the ministry. Mr. Perkins was born in Sacramento. He arrived here about five weeks ago from 1ndia and will remain here about five weeks longer., In March he purposes to return to his work in Madura, Southern India. e MARTHA SCHOFIELD HERE. Founder of the Schofleld Normal and Industrial School Speaks of Her Work. Martha Schofield, the founder of the Sohofield Normal and Industrial School for colored students, at Aiken, South Car- olina, is at the Occidental Hotel. Yesterday she attended Friends’ meeting and after services gave a short sketch of the institution founded by her in 1868, she having entered upon the work in 1865. The school has over 250 students, 70 of whom board at the school and are being taught to be better home-makers and bet- ter citizens. % The several industrial departments, such as printing, ha_rness-makmg,‘ carpenter- ing, store-keeping and farming, are all doing excellent Work. The girls are taught cooking, sewing, laundrywork and housekeeping. “Seores of young men and women from distant parts of the State write for work that may enabie them to enjoy the educa- George W. Langan of Livermore, Who Is Favored by the Interior of the County as Judge Frick’s Successor. the Republican party shall not in the future be gobbled up by Osakland, Ala- meda and Berkeley, as in the past. Murray township has declared that it must have one of the two nominations that will be made at the County Conven- tion for Superior Judge. In tneir demand they are sustained by the other townships, and so the man who expects the support of fully half of the Republicans of Ala- meda County must not ignore the upper country in his plans. With unfailing regularity the delegates from the townships have gone to county conventions and have meekly submitted to the demands of the managers of candi- dates. Each time they have been told that no man from the 1interior could hope to be elected and that the country would be recognized next time. “While this statement is not absolutely true, it is nearly so. Two years ago the nomination for County Treasurer was iven to Joseph Herrscher of San Leanaro, gmasit was yielded from policy rather than merit. Herrscher failed of election, as the men who nominated him expected that he would. The man who is now put forward by Murray Township is George W. Langan of Livermore, whom they want to receive a nomination for Superior Judge. Two of the Buperior Judges will retire this year, and ailready there are several candidates for the nominations. Judges Frick and Greeneare the retiring jurists, but Frick will not try to succeed himself, having had his share of the party’s support in his struggle for the Con- gressional nomination, but Judge Greene will be again in the field. Sam P. Hall and W. L. Hill are already in the field, and if the demand of the interior is granted the fight in Oakland will be very bitter. G. W. Langan is a member of the Army and Navy Republican League, and has a strong following in the townships. Unless the four-year term be held to invalid there will be so few county nominations to be made at the :Fproaching convention that Livermore will have to fight hard for a share, TALKED OF THE HINDOO. Missionary James Perkins, Native Son and Graduate of Berkeley. James C. Perxins, a graduate of the TUniversity of California in 1874, a lawyer in this City for four years and a mission- ary in Southern India for the last ten and a balf years, addressed a meeting in the Y. M. C. A. building yesterday afternoon. He spoke of Hindooism and its fallacies, and he told of the self-sacrifice of some of the high-caste men, who, having pro. fessed Christianity, heroically bear all the indignities heaped upon them by their fel- low-countrymen of the ancestral religion of India. One instance he cited. He and several other missionary clergymen were out on a street corner talking rapidly, by turn, in order to hold the attentioh of their au- dience, for the warm weather is not con- ducive to the maintenance for any length of time of a street crowd. -As they talked in a Salvation Army style of the Ohrist and of the religion of salvation they watched for faces in the crowd that seemed to be impressed with the discourse. They saw one man evi- dently deeply interested. They ap- proached him and engaged him in con- versation. He was an intellectual and edu- cated Hindoo of the highest caste, and a man of great wealth. He had no children; his home life was happy. 8o neither the advantages of the Christian schools for children or the shelter of the church for a forlorn soul affected his desire for Christ- ianity. Furthermore, in “his neighbor- hood the congregation of the Christian church was made up of low caste men. Notwithstanding this he humbled b pride and was baptized. Su uently, extensive acres that he owned, t had been in the possession of his family for generations, but which were not officialiy recorded were levied upon. He was re- quested to establish his claim by wit- nesses, the usual mode. Not a native would testify in his behalf, and the prop- erty went to the Government by default. His cattle were poisoned. He was tormented in every way, and all because of his faith, He bore it fora year. ‘He endured it for three, for five years; he tional facilities afforded by the institu- tion. Tne institution has a small endowment, and is chartered and held by trustees. But the running expenses are raised chiefly by the efforts of the founder. The man- agement never runs in debt, and is thank- ful for any donations or evena spirit of well wishing and words of encourage- ment. FIRE AT POWDER WORKS Cause of More Damage Than Was Done by the Flames to the Acid-House. Superintendent Pollock and James Garrity Thrown Out of a Buggy and Seriously Injured. OaxLAND OFFIcE BAN FRANCISCO CALL,} 908 Broadway, Aug. 16. The alarm given for a fire last night at the Oalifornia Powder Works was the cause of a very serious accident, and two men are nursing broken bones as the con- sequence. Late last night a fire was discovered in the nitric acid house of the powder works. ‘Word was at once sent to Superintendent Pollock, who livesat Pinole, and hestarted for the works. He was accompanied by James Garrity, and the exigency of the occasion did not tend to induce them to spare horseflesh in their ride to the scene of the fire. They expected each moment to hear one of the fearful concussions the secret of which old residents on this side of the bay well know. They had gone about half-way along the road and had just rounded the turn when there was a collision. Their team and a hay wagon met end on and Pollock and Garrity were thrown to the ground and seriously injured. Gar- rity was rendered unconscious for a time, and an examination later showed that he haa a fractured collarbone and two broken ribs, besides bruises innumerable. Super- intendent Pollock was aiso badly cut and brmised, but not so seriously as his com- panion. Theinjured men were taken back to Pinole ana attended to. The fire at the powder works destroyed the 100f of the nitric acid nouse, but no further damage was done, Broke Wheel and Ankle. OAKLAND, Car., Aug. 16. — Paul A. Somers met with an accident on the Hay- wards electric road to-day. He was com- ing toward Oakland and was holding his wheel to the side of the caron which he was standing. A car coming from the op- posite direction struck the wheel and knocked it and Somers into the road. The wheel was broken, and so was Somers’ ankle. —————— JEFFRIES IS MUCH BETTER. The Heavy-Weight Pugilist’s Noble Battle Against Pneumonia, Jim Jeffries, the phenomenal heavy- weight from Los Angeles, who was to meet Van Buskirk on the 25th inst., has been quite ill with pneumonia for the past three days. At ome time he was so low it was deemed advisable to telegraph his family to come here and remain by what was expected to be his deathbed. Yesterday a change for the better took place, and Dr. Moomh{, the attending hysician, pronounced his patient out of anger, and his relatives will not be sum- moned here. Jeffries was quite unfortunate and was stricken down the very first day he began training. - Btelzner, Fitzssmmons’ sparring part- ner, has been substituted to hfo against Van Buskirk. Fitz speaks highly of Stelz- ner and deems bim a good man. The sports think this will be a much warmer contest than if Jeffries had stayed well. Henry Peppers and Frank Purcell will battle ten rounds the same night, This also will be a good set-to, as P s is many considered the best mi on the coast and Purcell is & *‘rusher.” .mig‘l’l’t 1 COL SHAFTER IN COMMAND General Forsyth Has Gone East on Two Months' Leave.

On his return from the north he will proceed to the camps of troops B, C, I and K, Fourth Cavalry, at the Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant National Parks, for the purpose of inspect~ ing cavalry horses. Major Edward Field, Second Artillery, has been directed to make an inspection of horses pertaining to light batteries D and F, Fifth Artillery, at the Presidio. First Lieutenants Edward T. Brown, W. H. Coffin, George W. Gatchell and Second Lieutenant William P. Pence, Fifth Artillery, leave for the artillery school at Fort Monroe on September 1. The officers leaving here are Lieutenants Jordan, McLaughlin, Ridgeway, Bkerrett and Carbaugh of the Fifth Artillery. Lieutenant Payne of the Fourth Artillery also comes to this station. In the assignments of officers for a tour of light battery duty, First Lieutenants Newcomb and Ridgeway go to Battery F, and First Lieutenants Strauband Treat go to Battery D. p The summer practice of heavy artillery at the Presiaio has not been completed. Some delay was caused in procuring pow- der of the particular grade and quality de- sired, and now the ordnance officers are making some changes in the carriages and platforms of the 12-inch breechloading rifles on the bluff above Fort Point. A 12-inch rifle is in position at Lime Point. No troops are stationed there, but a watch- man keeps an eye on the gun. The department quartermaster has re- ceived permission to purchase thirty-five horses for light battery use. The fiield-staff band and seven com- panies of the First Infantry, U.S. A., left the Presidio Thursday for practice march to Santa Cruz. The firstcamp was made two miles beyond Ingleside. The command should reach Santa Uruz next Thursday. > First Lientenant Frank Greene, Signal Corps, Acting Inspector of Small Arms Practice, has been directed to proceed to the Yosemite, Sequoia and General Grant National Parks, 1o carry out special in- structions of the department commander with reference to the target practice of troops there stationed. : First Lieutenant Thomas R. Adams, quartermaster Fifth Artillery, has been granted leave of absence for twenty days. Leave of absence for twenty days was granted to First Lieutenant George W. Gatchell, Fifth Artillery. Leave of absence for fifteen days has been granted to Captain George H. G. Gale, Fourth Cavalry. Private Perry E. Hill, Company A, First Infantry, was tried by a court-martial at Angel 1sland, and upon a plea of guilty found guilty of conduct to the prejudice of good order and military discipline and disobedience of orders in violation of the Twenty-first Article of War and was sen- tenced ‘‘to forfeit to the United States $10 of his pay.” General Forsyth in reviewing the find- ings of the court-martial had this to say in Special Orders No. 89: Nothing appeering of record to explain why 80 light asentence had been imposed for & con- fessed aisobedience of orders manifested in the presence of enlisted men and of the officer giving said orders, the proceedings were re- turned and the court invited to reconsider ite sentence. The court then placed upon record its belief that the accused had not a “thorough understanding of the consequencesof his plea,” 1ts doubt “whether or not he heard and under- stood the order” he disobeyed, and “considered that the charge should properly have been laid under the sixty-second Article of War.” The court adhered to its former sentence. ‘Whether or not the accused understood “the consequences of his plea”is not known be- cause the court failed to question him on that point. Whether the act of disobedience was willful, and hence & plain violation of the twenty-first Article of War, or the resultofa failure to hear and understand the order, and in that case no offense whatever, cannot now | E: be known, for it appears the court indulged cnly in theories concerning the significance of the prisoner’s plea and the degree of his guilt instead of following its plain path of duty, as marked out by precedents and the uniform procedure of courts-martial, to call for witnesses and by the weight of their timony solve the doubts that beset it. It may be stated as & guiding rule that the plea of an enlisted man should never be ac- capted by & court-martial as final when such an acceptance raises a grave doubt as to a mis- carriage of justice. In allsuch cases available evidence should be obtained and considered. The court having failed in this respect and raised a doubt as to the justice of its own find- ing upon the second charge and iis specifica- tion, the finding thereon is disapproved.

The Journeymen Bakers’ and Confec- tioners’ Union gave a pi¢nic yesterday at Germania Gardens, Harbor View, and en- joyed the outing thoroughly. With their wives and families and friends they made a jolly party, that passed the time in vari- ous ways at tneir own sweet will, some finding diversion in games, others taking advantage of the fine afternoon to rest in the open air, while most of those at the picnic gathered in the dance pavilion. Dancing was the main feature of the picnic, for there were no formal exercises. t was not a day or a_time for occupying the mind with speeches and conventional recitations, so the bakers thougit, but one exclusively devoted to social pleasure. So the bakers and their friends did nothing but enjoy themselves all day long. In the afternoon great sport was had in zames, which were composed of races for goung ladies, married women, men and oys, and also several events for children. Each event was warmly contested for prizes. 0. Grassmann was chairman of the com- mittee of arrangements and also of the games committee. W. Raakeacted as floor manager, and the reception of visitors as well as all other matters was in the hands of A. Eisolt, J. Muller, A. Jackofski, J. ‘Wieland, C. Blackman, W. Schneider, C. %rnni. L.

There was only one cup cricket contest played yesterday. It was between the Pacifics and Californias, was played at Alameda and resulted in a victory for the Pacifics by 47 runs. The Pacifics went in first and compiled the very respectable total of 127. Messrs. Bewell, Pocock and Harbour were the principal contributors to this total. It must be noticed, however, that the team was short two men, and that such mem- bers as John Theobald, Casidy and Tiede- mann were conspicuous by their absence. The score, nevertheless, proved ade- quate, for the Californias, in spite of ex- cellent play on the part of Van Norden and Shroder, failed to amass more than 80 runs, The fielding on both sides was good and the match, one-sided though it was, excited the interest of a goodly crowd of spectators.

Captain Lawrence made 19 for the victors and took five wickets for 40 runs. He issaid, however, not to be play- in'f in his best form this season. 'o-day the Portland Athletic Club will endeavor to revenge itself for the drub- bing inflicted on them by the Banks last month, and to that end Captain Van Heekereen has strengthened his team con- siderably. W. Coates, ex-captain of the Penryn Colony Club, is visiting the City. His many friends will regret to learn that a severe attack of rheumatic fever has necessitated his retirement from the cricket field. UMPIRE. Um0 A MENANCE TO HEALTH. Citizens Near Union and Leavenworth Streets Will Ask to Have a Nusiance Abated. The residents in the vicinity of Union and Leavenworth streets are very much annoyed at what they term a menace to their health. A petition is being made ready to be presented to the Board of Health, asking that the nusiance be abated. The following document is being signed by the property-owners and residents of the section mentioned : SAN FRANCISCO, August 13, 1896. To the Honorable Board of Health, San Fran- cisco—GENTLEMEN: Your attention is respect- fully called by the undersigned to the bad condition of the sewerage at the cormer of Union and Leavenworth streets, which, if not attended to at once, will not only be detri- mental to property-owners, but will also be a menace to the health of the residents in the neighborhood. Trusting that this will receive your im- mediate aitention, we are yours, respectfully. This will be presented at the next meet~ ing of the board by a committee to be ap- pointed for that purpose. The nusiance is a tank or cistern under the street at Leavenworth and Union in which water is said to be stored for use in case of fire, for the pressue from the hydrants at that elevation is not con- sidered sufficient to force the water into the hose in case of need. Pressure is easily had to supply all demands for the engine at the power-house at the same elevation, however, and the need of the cistern is not, therefore, apparent. PLGRIN SUNDAT-SCHOOL Its Thirty-Third Anniversary at the First Unitarian Church. Charles A. Murdock’s Felicitous Ad- dress to the Children—Fioral Tributes. The thirty-third anniversary of the Pil- grim Sunday-school was celebrated yester- day morning in the First Unitarian Church. Rev. William G. Eliott Jr., who is the associate pastor with the Rev. Dr. Stebbins, is soon to go Eastjand after next Sunday will be seen no more in the church. The children of the school, some 200 strong are specially well behaved, atten- tive and intelligent. During the exercises the children repeated the following prayer: Our heavenly Father, we thank tkee for this day snd all its blessings; we thank thee for our Sunday-school, for kind teachers and kind iriends. We c!;l)u that thy blessing may rest upon our school in the ‘years to come asin ears gone by. We, ourselves, wonld learn to {ovo and help our school more and more. May thy spirit, God, be ever present in our hearts. May we hear the still, small voice ever warning us against wrong-doing and urg- ingus todo well. We are children, O God— we know very littie of the great sorrows and the great joys of life; we know not what the years may bring to us, but we pray that we may 8o live now as to inherit the Kingdom pre- pared faor each one of us from the beginning of the world, the kingdom of thy love. Amen. Aftér music and Scripture reading by '_—Y | the Rev. Samuel Slocombe, the children were addressed by Charles A. Murdock, who has been a member of the churea for thirty-three years, and the superintend- ent of the Bunday-school for twenty-five years, 3 He told the children reminiscences of his own boyhood, when he used to go to Sunday-school ina New England town in a one-horse shay and take hisluncheon with him, so far was the distance from his home to the church. “The life of every child,” he said, “may be likened to a fertile garden, in which may be grown either choice fruits and flowers or worthless weeds. The purpose of our school, children, is to aid youin wisely cultivating this garden and keeping it free from weeds, but withont your own earnest co-operation it is notin the power of anybody to make vou grow up to be good men and women."” Brief addresses were also made by Dr. Stebbins and Superintendent Eliot. After the benediction and before dispersing, each and every boy and girl was presented with a bunch of beautiful fragrant flowers.
