He said: “The most casual observer must see justment in the social and political worl, ““What man for centuries did with his body he now does with his brain. Men who work are in a ehaotic state because of the conditions under which they serve, The skilled artisan must use new tools, tools quite different from these with which he piied his trade. The great horde of mechanics has been locked out of work by Labor is thus forced to fields of new and untried effort, or else is forced to give up the struggle for exist. ence. “This again accounts to a certain extent for a nmew feature in our modern life, namely: Woman in the shops and offices, forced there by the necessities which an unemployed father ar brother has created, Here then are the causes that make our times transitional.

Rev. .1 # Sounsan The Four Episcopal Church Bishops Who Preached Yesterday. Bishop Kendrick at Advent, Bishop Jobnson at Trinity and Bishop Leonard at Grace. Bishop Leonard spoke on the text from | Ephesians vi:10—*Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord.” He said: | “The age and count!ry in which we live make much of the practical. Itisa char- acteristic much admired and one which contributes largely to success. The end of | life with most men is to succeed in that | which they undertake, and it 1s certainly a laudable desire. No doubt the reason | why there is such admiration of successfal men is because they are so few. ‘‘Fame, wealth and high mental achieve- ments come to few. Mediocrity is the distinguisning mark of the larger num- | ber, while for the vast majority of men | there seems to be nothing but bare exist- | ence and little torelieve the dull monotony of commonplace lives. “There is a word about which much needs to be said—it is moral courage. Stand up for that which is right., How comes it that men have so little to say about this kind of strength? “We are regretting all the while that there is in_our society a low moral tone. ‘We are all striving, I hope, each in his own way, to abate thistone. Our public school system of educatlon is doing all that is possible in this direction, and there are many other agencies working upon :h§ same l]i;xea.”rd . ish onard spoke strongly against divoros. He said he had read that in proportion to the number of marriages more divorces were granted in San Ffan- cisco than any place in the world. Bishop Kendrick delivered a sermon at the Church of the Advent. He took for his text the following: *‘I must work the works of Him that sent me while it is day; the night cometh when no man can work.”” (8t John, ix:4.) “The law of o‘fporlnni es is that there is a fit time for doing things, and if they are not done then they cannot be done at all,” said he. *There are some opportunities that con- sist of a single event. There comes a :‘\me when something must instantly be lone, ‘‘Presently it wili be too late to admin- ister the remedy ot perform the operation, In many a great battle there was a su- preme moment when everything de- pended on doing the right thing. The smoke lifted and then was the opportun- ity. Then or never the victory must be won. And in the battle of life manya man can trace his success or failure to an opportunity that came to him once and that never came to him again, and he used it or failed to use it. *“There is an important sense in whicn every day is an opportunity on whica the sun goes down not to rise again. The work that we do not do in a day can never be done. We cannot put it off till to-mor- row, for to-morrow will have its own work. 1f we do to-day’s work to-morrow, when shall we'do to-morrow’s work? Or, if we can do two days’ work in one, how long can we keep that up?'’ Bishop Barker delivered a sermon at St. John's. His subject was ‘“The Law of Growth,”” “The most interesting illustrations of the law are found in a brief eon-lde{nflon of the physical side of human life,” said he, “The body is endowed with faculties, talents, powers and sights. The law runs underneath each faculty. The mind ex- pands by education. a nation we spend millions of money in building schools, and this illustrates the applica- tion of the law.” The Bishop described a lecture of Tyn- dall’s in Philadeiphia on light and in a few words drew the parallel lesson for the church. Asthe various gas jets leaped into prominence when different tuning forks were sounded so must the church, through its members, ever m_her truths until the individual soul quivers and responds. He closed with the simple the Ch urch of the for this ort. The machinery of the ves- sel was disabled, but she was under sail and making good beadway. A FORGER WITH A RECORD W. Brown, Wanted in Fort Worth, Tex , Was a Famous Rustler. He Tock an Active Part in a Three Days’ Fight W:th Cattlemen Over Four Years Ago. There is a bitch in the papers brought here by Chief Maddox of Fort Worth, Tex., for the extraditiou of W. Brown, alias W. J. Ash, alias A. W. Mann, who is wanted there and in other places for forgery and obtaining goods by false pre- tenses, as stated in yesterday’s CaLL. Brown registered at the Palace Hotel as W. C. Wallace, and his partner, J. T. Mc- Kay, at the Occidental Hotel as J. F. Camden, While on the way here each bad posted a letter to himself at a way station, and the letters arrived at the Palace and Occidental the day after they registered. They took the precaution to open the letters in presence of the clerks, and each carelessly allowed a draft in- closed to lie on the desk so that the clerks could see it. Camden’s draft was for $3500 and Wallace’s for $500. The result was they were not pressed for payment of their pills, McKay, or Camden as he called him- self, got suspicious and fled to Kansas City, where he was arrested. Brown was arrested at the Palace Hotel by Detectives Seymour and Whitaker on September 19. ‘When searched a haavg revolver with five notches in it was found in his {ocket, and there is a history attached to i Brown is a cowboy, or, more correctly speaking, a rustler. In the beginning of 1892 there was serious trouble between the rustlers and the regular cattlemen in Texas and it ultimately ended in open warfare, The rustlers were led by three brothers, Nick, Jack and Jim Ray, and Brown was one of their lieutenants. The cattlemen and their cowboys were, on April 9, surrounded by the rustlers at Bulffalo, W'yo.. where the former could neither get food nor water. They fought for three days and then the cattiemen ‘were rescued by a colored troop of United States cavalry. Nearly a hundred of the cattlemen and their cowboys were killed and the rustlers had also several killed, among them two of the leaders, Nick and Jack Ray. Nick Ray before he bit the dust killed five of the enemy and bis sur- viving brother, Jim, made the five notches in the weapon that did the killing to show his dead brother’s prowess, He presented the revolver to Brown, who has carried it in his belt ever since. It isa 45-caliber, inir trigger and shoots a Winchester bul- et. Brown, in speaking of the fight yester- day, was very modest and would not say how_many, if any, cattlemen fell victims to his weapon.

GREAT JEWISH CHARITY What Has Besn * Accomplished in a Quarter of a Cen- tury. TOLD BY PRESIDENT LEVY. The Children Entertain Visitors to the Asylum With an Operetta and Music. The twenty-fifth anniversary of the founding of the Pacific Hebrew Orphan Asylum and Home Society occurred yes- terday, and it was made the occasion of a celebration well worthy of the event. There was a large gathering of Jewish peo- ple at the asylum at Devisadero and Hayes streets, and the visitors were received by President 8. W. Levy, Superintendent Henry Mauser and other officers of the in- stitution. In the afternoon, after a recep- tion in the asylum building, an entertain- ment that proved to be a very enjoyable affair was given in the amusement hall by the children, immediately after the an- nual meeting of the members of the so- clety. President Levy called the meeting to order after the Anspacher band, composed of Hebrew orphans, had played a quite britliant overture. Mr, Levy read his re- vort, which was comprehensive and inter- | esting to all present. “The credit should be given the B'nai B’rith Bociety for having originated the idea of founding and establishing an or- phans’ home in this City,” he said, “but that society did not have the means to carry out the scheme alone and it was Jeft for this association to materialize what was before a mere inspiration. It was on the 25th day of July, 1871, that this asso- ciation was formed—to quote the language of our act of incorporation—‘ior the care, relief, protection and improvement of or- pban children, and for the care of aged Israelites, who are without adequate means of support.’ Continuning, he said: “When we take a retrospective glance into the past and think of the modest quarters which we occupied in the rented building on Mason street from 1872 to 1876, and which did such good service for the first years of our society's existence, and remember how | proud we were of 1t, thinking that we had reached a poirt beyond which it was im- possible to go, and compare it with our present two great institutions, with their imposing buildings, their large grounds, | attractive surroundings, elegaatly ap- pointed gymnasium and extensive work- shops connected with onr orphan asylum building, we feel that our success has been | remarkable. And when we take into fur- | ther consideration the fact that in 1891.we carried out the second great object of our corporation, viz., the establishment and erection of our home for the aged, which | is complete in every detail, and that every | doliar due for the purchase of the land and (ke erection of both the asylum and home building has been paid, we can truly say that we have, under a kind providence, accomplished marvelous re- sults. Still there was considerable work before the society, for the recent extensive im- vrovements have so depleted the treasury that ways and means for maintenance of both institutions must be adopted. ing contracts during the past year, and as this created a deficiency, Mr. Lavy sug- gested thata committee be appointed to solicit subscriptions. As it was twenty years since the society made its last ap- | peal to the public be believed that the | society eould very properly make another call for aid. “‘Should we endeavor toretrench in any way,” he said, ** we should have to do so at the expense of seriously crippling.one or both institutions, and we wouid be sub- jected to the humiliation of refusing fur- ther applications for admission. e are now conducting both institutions with the greatest amount of liberality and at the same time with the least amount of ex- penditure.’’ The income of the society during the year was $25,050 76 from all sources, and expenses, including alterations and erec- tion of a workshop building, $26,500 22 for the asylum and $10,929 63 for the home. The total expense was $37,429 85, The es- timated amount necessary for the next year was given at $27,500 for the asylum and $11,000 for the home, but from past experience it was calculated that without some_extraordinary assistance the loss would be about $12,949. To ward off such a possibility the board of trustees has de- termined to use every endeavor to increase the membership roll. During the year donations and requests received amounted to $10,656 77. Regarding membership Mr, Levy an- nounced that a lse" ago there were 2037, and since then were lost by death, 80 by resignation and 7 were stricken from the roll. One life member and 47 con- wibuting members were admitted, mak- ing the total 1969—a loss of 63 members, 51:“9 were 122 children in the asylum at the last annual meeting. Since then 30 have been admitted and 18 discharged, leaving 67 boys and 67 girls in the institu- tion, 6 of whom are living with respect- able families and learning trades. The children have attended the public schools, and have been 1structed by special teache ersin the asylum. Youthful mechanics in the various workshops are becoming experts at tneir trades under the direction of Superintendent Mauser, and boys with musical talent are instructed by Professor L. von der Mehden in music as members of the Anspacher band. At the home there were 18 men and 10 women a year since, 3 men and 2 women have been ad- mitted, and 5 men died, leaving 16 men and 12 women in the institution. The report concluded with thanks to various benefactors of both institutions. The report was greeted with cordial ap- plause and by vote accepted and ordered to be printes. Reading of other reports, such as those of the secretary and superintendent, was dispensed with, as they were embodied in the president’s report. J. Greepebaum moved that the presi- dent and vice-president be given a vote of thanks from the lmlu.il for their work during the past year. He took the chair te:‘ponrfly and everybody, it seemed, said aye!l The president was empowered to a point & committee on the election of di- rectors, whose terms have expired. An operetta in three acts, entitled, “The Four-leaved Clover, or the Charm,"” was effectively pmenwi by the children with the following cast: Isabells, Countess of komy; Lady In D!

Kropp, Miss Jeanette Evbralm, William Lissner, Miss Adeie Levy and Professor von der Mehden, and Messrs.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon the man who the Sunday previous swam across the Golden Gate was presented to the specta- tors in Sutro Baths and seven minutes after was on the beach northeast of the south seal rock. He wasfollowed by every person in the baths who fitled every point of vantage from which they could see the daring swimmer enter the water. In a moment after reaching the beach he at once plunged into the surf, passing gracefully and easily through two immense breakers, and then with that wonderful stroke that marks his swimming he struck out for the seal rock. As’he approached it there was seen in the vicinity of the home of the seals a boat manned by a crew of the Dolphimn Club and another manned by a crew from the United States Life Saving Station south of the Cliff House. These men in boats were in the vicinity to render assistance to the swimmer should he need it. Not only was Cavill seen by those who were near the starting Eolnt, but by crowds who thronged the alconies of the Cliff House and thousands who were on the beach between the Cliff House and the Olympic pier. Stroke by stroke the intrepid swimmer advanced. Then it was seen than an ex- traordinary sensation was being created among the big amphibians on the rocky bluff ahead. When Cavill was abreasi of their rock seal after seal leaped from the sides into the water and in procession headed for the mian who had dared to in- vade their preserves. One of the animals came within ten feet of the swimmer, but with a knife which he had in a sheath strapped to his body, and which he drew, he made a lunge at the approaching animal, which, with the rest, turned and swam for the rock again. Cavill made the turn, the boats keeping close to him, and when he was within a hundred yards of the beach where he was to land he was met by Adolph Kahn, who swam in with him and came in a good second. The dis- tance was about one mile and the time consumed in the tr'iip twenty-four minutes. As Cavill landed he was greeted with loud cheers, and when he returned to the baths he was there loudly applauded by the immense crowd that awaited him. He stated that the swim was a very cold one. After resting & few minutes Cavill gave an exhibition of fancy swimming and trick divine. During the afternoon in the baths Cor- nell and Enepy gave a burlesque boxing match which was very amusing and they also gave burlesque diving and swimming.
