THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1896 07 SISTENS “Father Yorke on BUT CITIZENS, “The Little Red School- house.” DR. NIETO IN THE CHAIR Metropolitan Hall Is Crowded to Hear the Catholic Priest. "CASE AND FLEENOR SCORED. oquent Plea for Religious Toler. ation—Local Application of the Test. Father Yorke spoke to even a larger audience last night at Metropolitan Hall than that which greeted him last week in the same auditorium. Every seat was filled and advantageous standing room was a rcity. His subject was *‘The Little Red School,”’ and incidentally he took occasion to reply to a lecture deli ered a week ago Sunday by Rev. M Fleenor of Seattle and to pay attention to -bther A. P. A. speakers. It was the sec- ond of the series of five lectures that the champion of Catholicism has undertaken to deliver under the auspicesof the Ameri- can Women's Liberal League. Dr. C. D. Cleveland, a cousin of Presi- dent Grover Cleveland, on behalf of the league introduced Rev. Dr. Jacob Nieto as | The hand- [ the chairman of the evening. some rabbi’s appearance was greeted with hearty applause, as had been his entrance | upon the platform, side by side with the | champion of the local Catholics. The wlatform was filled with the local mem- i of the Catholic priesthood, and a umber of prominent members of the Protestant faith. Among the latter were -Rev. Mr. Shaw and Rev. Mr. Moreland. D of Cleveland, in his brief introduction tabbi Nieto, remarked that the latter reared “in the interest of American %oleration and liberty.” It affords me no small amount of grati- atiom,” began Rabbi Nieto, “‘both as vindividuak and as a representative of an important section of the Jewish com- mu to be here with you this evening, o express my condemnation of religious persecution in any form and all methods ed forits furtherance. re ean be no two opinions,” he con- tinued, *‘on this point ana there should be no sort of hesitation in expressing only the ore opinion that can remain in the f man. ous persecution is inconsistent modern civilizaticn and ruins both 1i the best interd of the city and the country wherein 1t is permitted. ildren ot e housebold, members of one Iamily, citizens of one State, | others at large, instead of working hand in hand for the welfare of the State, fam- ily and household are made to fly At one other’s throat in the most hideous liberty and toleration. As a citizen of this magnificent and august Republic I sist that every man be allowed to wor- his God as he will. The question may be asked of us: Why, as Jews, do we stand shoulder to stiou'der with the Roman Catholicat this time? We wou!d stand shoulderto shoul- der with any sect that was experiencing any difficalty in practicing its religious creed in its own way and according to its o light. ‘I will tell yon why the Jew stands by the Roman Catholic; I will tell you why: Not only from tne pure dictates of his heart, which will always detest religious yersecution. The Jew, I hope, is beyond all otber things, grateful.” He related how in the early portion of the sixteenth century, when the princes ope were seeking to despoil and de- stroy the Jew, every occupantof the Papal cnair had declared that no Jew should be ected. defended the Jew and vouched for the un- tr drank human blood and ate the heart of a child at the celebration of the Pass- over feast; how Archbishop Werner of Mayence defended the Jews from the charge of child murder, when no one else dared raise hand or voice 1n their behalf; how Innocent 1V secured for the Jew the n{;n\‘u(—ge of being allowed to retain his ble and Talmud when all the nations were against him; bow Innocent VII gave a refuge to the Jews when they were expelled from Spain; how Pius IV re- moved the badge which up to his time all -Jews, as related of Shylock by Shakes- peare, were compelled to wear to indicate that they were Jews, and how Hengy I, Archbishop of Mayence, and Clement Vi had given protection to the Jews. Con- tinuing he said: “In view of all these kindnesses show- ered upon our race by the supreme power of the Cathoiic church, how can we do otherwise than stand in and say that there shall be no religious test in this country.” He referred to the anti-Semitic agitation in Germany, and remarked: *“Those who were resjonsible for that were not Catho- lics.” After a tribute to the broad spirit o: ioleration that he said marked the tre he introduced Father Yorl The latter announced that on Thursday evening, in Metropolitan Hail, he would deliver a lecture for the benefit of the Pre- sentation Convent schoois, and begged the support of his auditors for the worthy ob- jects of these institutions. His lecture on that evening will be on the subject, “Where tid you ge: the Bibie?”’ He spoke in substance as follow: stment of other sects by the Catholics n with (hat interesting object little red ¢ volho have “ne or two preluaes.

Tvwo vears ago the man who began it n this Citv decinred: The Cathoiic to-day, the Jews to-morrow. He denied that he ever said it. But yesterday the trutn came oui, and what Heury said in one way Flecnor said in an- otier. Has it come to this in this American Repub- re- u the feelings that stuir bis heart lic, that we are to lovk back to the crimes nnd &ins 0f 1900 years ago and flash them in the face of the pecple to-day and derand that they be punished therefor?

[Applause.] As Dr. Nieio said, our standing together on this platform does not mean thit we agree in our religious opinions. 1t would be a small { maiter for us 10 stand together if we did sgree ur religious belief; Lut the American prin- ciple is this—that me:, thous h they may differ in what they believe, yet when it comes down to the good of the community and of the body politie, when it comes down to this great prin- ciple of religious tolerance, Stand together as one man. [Appiause.] The trouble of religious intolerance is that L ETOWS on that on which it feeds. You may begin 1o persecute a small and an insignificaut sect, but by the force of logic you are bound to L“h‘ll your persecution iurtber. You may in o persccute the Cutbolics to-day; you Lsurely have the Jews to-morrow, and the duy atter to-morrow vou will have ev Protestant sect that does not agree with you placed under the ban of this organization, which 18 the open sore upon our body politic. And not ouly Catholics and Jews, but the Protestant who has & Catholic wife, the Pro- testant who sends his chiidren to whatsvever 00l he pleas s, the Protestant who hase holic friend, aye, and the Protestant who wiil not put_his neck under the foot of the paramour of a bad woman and do in politics what that scoundrel dictates. [Loud applause.] Whether it was the effect of the eariy rain of not [iaughter), 1 remark that the Rev. W, W. Case has comeout from his retirement. Last Sunday evening he puia his respects to your humble servant and aiter declaring that those other learned coniroversiaiists have not left me a leg to stand upou, he proceeded to try his own hand at throwing me down. However, the speaker subsequently con- cluded, Mr. Case was scarcely worth wast- ing their valuable time upon. He humor- ously reminded his auditors of a rather mysteriousty worded advertisement,which at'one time appeared in some of the street- cars and waich began: *Don’t be woozy. [Laughter.] ‘‘Chew somebody’s gum.’” If they could only induce the Rev. Dr. Case to chew some kind of gum and if that gum wou'd only stick bis teeth together for the rest of his natural life, he—Father Yorke—believed that Dr. Case’s own co- religiomsts would be heartily glad of 1t Father Yorke accused Dr. Case of a dis- honest attempt to foist upon the public | credulity a quotation from a spurious French translation of Gury’s Compen- dium, in which quotation it was asked: Are Roman Catholic priests subject to the civil law? Ur. Case gaveanegative answer. He (Father Yorke) finally leit a copy of Gury at THE CaLL office, in order to show | the public of San Francisco that after the { question was put—¢Are clerks or clergy- men bound by the civil law?’’—the an- swer was not No, but, in plain terms, Yes. [Applause.| He declared last Sunday evening that he had a doctiment which proves me to be a liar. 1 not return him the word; he may keep it e 1L as often us he pleses, but I say here again that the quotation he gives from Gury is 7 ery from top to bottom. And I say to d people of the Methodist Episcopal h upon whom he is forced for their sins that theyare sitting at the feet of & ws not what the truth is when it | man who k comes to dealing with Catholicit 1 teil them—and the esponsibility rests upon their heads—that they are supporting & man | who has been shown in the public prints of this City to have, in questions of fact, stated the thing which was not and to heve made quotations and given excerpis which never appeared in the bLooks to which he referred them. 1 think I can safely leave the Kev. W, W. Case R0 the people of this City, and I will furttier add that if the Protestant relizion has | need of such defenders then it :s a sad day for | the Protestant churches of San Francisco and Californis. [Applause.] Father Yorke in his third prelude ar- | raigned the Rev. Mr. Fieenor once more, | quoting in this connection several extracts from that gentleman’s last public utter- ance, bearing more particularly upon J. | H. Barry’s denunciation of the Rev. i u Hudelson, This Mr. Fleenor £ racterized as a lie of Rome and the devil. If so, asked the speaker, why was not Barry of the Starin jail? [Loud applause.] The charges had been made not in general terms, but with names, and unfortunately for the Rev. Beniamin Hudelson they had been given with date, and the truth of the matter was that Rov. Mr. Hudelson was a man who had ste | from the trough of sensuality into a Chris- tian pulpit and who sull reeked with tne vile smell of the siums. The charges against Hudelson are no libel; the charges are tnat this man, who haif a dozen | years ago, when he had arrived at_the full uge of manhood, had fallen as low as it is po for human nature to fall. The Churges are that in two or three months he siwpped from | this state of degradation into a Christian pu Dit; thathe is now at the nead of a socie ich accuses the foreign popuiation oi this country with being crimiv: which | declares that & large section _ of | this communiiy are unfit to have office; thatthey and he have come 10 save this coun try and protect our iustitution derful savio Rev. Benjam delson, the Hon zow and all bis kind. [Applause.] If Mr. Fleenor remains in tie City for a few l}‘ onderful proiectors are t tinuous residernce in au hitherto been—he may hear something more about the Hon. and Rev. Benjamin Hudelson, | and hearitin the courts of this State. [Ap- plause.] The speaker then proceeded to deal wi the true subject-matter of his address. the little red schoolhouse, or the public school system of these States, which he traced from the earliest times down to the present day. He pointed out that the modern non-sectarian system was not in- troduced by the Pilgrim Fathers, as some peorle would lead the public to suppose, deveiopment. He voiced t e gratitude of | the Roman Catholic community toward Archbishop Jobn Hughes of New York, who was primarily responsible for the abo- h of that State. He outlined his reasons for opposing the introduction of the Bible into the public school, and emphasized the fact that the Roman Catholics rather than risk the true freedom of education, had gone to the additional expense of providing schools of their own, wherein the tenets of their religion could be installed into the mind of their children. In San Fran- cisco aione 10,000 Catholic children at- tended these schools, at a vearly expense of $300,000. He remarked upon the in- justice of the sentiment which dictated a populas outery about “‘Rome’s red hand” whenever a Catholic souzht election as a school superintendent, while the Pro- testant clergyman, on the other hand, in- variably showed himself appreciative ot ihe spoils of office. He reierre | in strong language of con- demnation to G vernor Budd, whom he accused of reversing for political motives the action of the School Board of San Jose by reintroducing the practiceof Bible reading, and further of appointing as trustee of the Normal School of Ban Jose Henry French,a member of the A. P. A. He particuiarly referred to the episode 1 which Trustee Henderson of this City recently figured when Council 1 of the A. P. A. placed him upon his _ trial because he had dared to vot- for a Catho- lic as principal or vice-principal of one of our public schools. In conclusion he put in an eloquent plea for the privilege of the parent to teach his child as he saw fit. “This,’” he said, *is not a country of systems, because we do not want systems; we want men.” We want men of honesty, of honor, of in- tegriiy. Suchmen will not beobiained merely putiing such and such a law on the siatute k. We can get them only when the citi- zens are raised up to be leal and true and law- #biding, and when they obey the laws not be- cause thcy are made in suca & way and by such a board, but because they believe it is their duty 10 do what is right, and ns American citi- zens they are going to do their duty. [Loud applause.] Adter ihe chairman had announced that Father Yorke would deliver a lecture en- titled *“The Carpenter's Son,” in the same piace on Septemoer 14, under the anspices of the American Women'’s Liberal League, the meeting dispersed.

As is usual with a fashionable audience, scene of the drama and not one-tenth of the andience was as yet scated. In fact, | the prologue was nearly over before the | fashionable procession down the center | aisle had ended | Sardou wrote ‘“Mme, Sans Gene” when | the recent poleon craze was at its height, but we are still too near the days of the First Empire for a dramatist to pre- sume to take poetic license with the mem- | ory of le petit caporal, which perhaps ac- | counts for the fact that Napoleon has not | been made the central figure of the plaj Mme. Bans Gene, the wile of one of his marshals, appears in that capacity, and with her brilliant Napo'eonic buckground she quite captured her first San Francisco | andience. The background had a good deal to do with last night’s success, for “Mme. Sans | Gene’’ is to a great extent a series of gor- the ex-washerwoman, standing out warm and lifelike among the other somewhat stilted dramatis person, who give one the impre: | dress parade. One had to look round at | the familiar stalls and boxes to be quite sure that the house was really the Bald- win and not Drury Lane, in the days when the late lamented Sir Augustus Harris spent money like water in mount- ing his productions, Such velvets and satins, yards and yards of them trailing over the stage in regal magnificence. Such jewelry! to look at it made one wink and blink! "Such um- forms! and they were not made eecording to the costumer’s fervid imagination, either: they were copies from the pomp and panopiy of war in wh apolecn ALL»UI out nis grande armee—lancers, hussars, dragoons, spurred and booted, glittering with gold an s'lver, and many of them made up as very good Counterparts of the historic people they represented. 7 The staging of “Mme. Sans Gene” was as gorgeous as_ its costuming; indeed, renlly beautiful reproductions were given of roo: ns in the historic chateau of Compeigie, and the stirring scene in the prologue, with the sol. diers aud the singing of the “Marse:lieise,” was excellently done. But after all “the play’s the thing,” and it seems s though Sardou must have been think- ing, when he wrote “Sans Gene,” of the advice given by the husband of & great prima donna to his wife’s imprecario: © Get my wife and a few sticks The play is Sans Gene herself and very little else, and that several of the other periormers were anything but sticks is not Sardou’s fault for he gave them very few opportunities for displaying te ent. Sans Gene being the central figure of the play it follows that ine success of the per- formance depended largely upon Miss K hryn Kidder, who played the role. 7 Her activg was a delightful surprise and the audience showed their appreciation of it by Tepeated curtain calls at the end of each act, She is tall and willowy, with a pleasant albeit penerrating voice, and'ihe charming ease and abandon with which she played the part of the washerwoman Duchess was something which recalled Ellen Terry's lightnese | and grace in comedy roics. She had | to run the gamut of & good many emo- tions, irom impatience at tne annoyances of a court train to grief at the Emperor’s resolve o have her friend De Neip. perg strangled, but she was always natural and delightful in the expression of her feel- ings. ’?he plot of “Mme. Sans Gene” is too familiar to need lengthy repetition. It shows in a rologue how the washerwoman Catherine ulbscher saves an Austrian officer, De Neip- | perg, during the revolution from the wrath of the Fronch populace with the heip of her finncee, Lefebvre, and later shows how she rescues Lii... ngain when Lefebvre has become a Duke anu i mperor suspects the Austrian of being the < lover. The story also +:.0ws how Napoleon tries to make Lefebvre divorce his wiie, Mme. Sans Gerie, for her free and easy manners and how Sans Gene herself wins his favor and makes him her friend. Several of tie supporting chaiacters were well played, particulary Augustus Cook s Napoleon, Harold Russell as Lefebvre and “harles Plunkett as the dancing master.
