They must work for it, and unless the factories are opened under a Republican system of protection there will be no work. There is $600,000,000 in gold in circula- tion in the United States, and it is ad- mitted by Bryan, ex-President Harrison and others that free coinage will drive all the gold out of the country. In order to replace all this lost zold it would be neces- sary to run the mints of the United States continuously seven days in a week for fifteen years. BSo that under free coinage the people would not have nearly as much money per capita as they bave now. Dem- ocratic tariff reform *‘reformed” this coun- try into debt to the extent of $195,000,000. Mr. Campbell expressed the beliei that should Major McKinley be elected Presi- dent the bars would be pui up against noionly the importation of the products of pauper labor but against the pauper labor itself. The Democratic party had always been & failure in bandling the finances of the Nation. He instanced the condition of the country atthe time Abraham Lincoln was elected and at the time Harrison went out of office and at the present time in proof of his assertion. Mr. Campbeil was greeted with cheers at the close of his speech. William A. Deane, candidate for Au- ditor, was introduced, and began by say- | ber of the club. ing that he did not possess the gift of oratory like his friend Mr, Campbell.

Mr. Deane closed by saying that he would show his friends that he was a good worker. George W. tilder, candidate for Super- intendent of Streets; Philip Hammond, nominee for School Director; Michael Welsh, nominee for State Senator; Justice of the Peace J. E. Barry and Police Judge Campbell made brief addresses, after which the meeting adjourned until next Thursday evening. AT .YOUNG REPUBLICANS. Preparing for a Grand High Jinks In B’nai B’rith Hall.

Several months ago a’miner named Dough- erty was discovered in the act of killing fish in the American River, near Colfax, Placer County, by using dynamite cartridges. Upon learning that a warrant had been issued for his arrest he fled and went to the northern part of the State. The officers of the Fish Commissioners learned yesterday that Dough- erty returned to Colfax lately and he was ar- Tested by a constable. His trial upon the mis- demeanor charge will take place soon. The Commissioners hope to be able to have the next Legislature pass an act making the kill- ing of fish 1n this manner a felony. ——————— Mrs. Thornton’s Damages. Mrs. Crittenden Thornton was yesterday awarded a judgment for $500 in her case against Mrs. Lucy W. Auzerais-Hoyte by Judge Troutt. Mrs. Hoyt occupied a furnished resi- dence belonging to Mrs. Thornton and, it was claimed, took no care of the place. .. Queen Victoria’s chaplain in ordinary the Rev. A. Robins, has just preached his five thousandth sermon at Windsor. AIR MOTORS FOR STREETCARS They Are to Be Adopted on the Market-Street Lines. Experiments in the East Being Awaited Before Final Action Is Taken. DEVELOPMENT OF THE SYSTEM Nearly All the Local Cable, Electric and Horse Car Lines to Be Converted. Compressed air is to be used as the mo- tive power for the cars of the Market- street Railway Company’s system. Developments in this style of motive power have been closely watched by the officers of the Market-street Railway Com- pany for some time past, and recent suc- cessful experiments in the East have almost induced the company to adopt this These air motor cars are of the same pat- tern and general appearance as the Broad- way (New York) cablecars. They can be charged in one minute at a terminal station with sufficient air to run the ex- treme distance of ordinary service. The motors, being attached to the cars, are independent, and interruptions to the en- tire line are, therefore, impossible, as is the case with cable and electric power systems. The air-motor system requires no trol- ley-poles, overhead wires, cables, pipes, conduits or other construction beneath or over the tracks. The motors are placed under the car floors. The useot air motors avoids not only the unsightl$ poles and wires necessary for electric systems, but also the obstruction which they interpose to the operation of fire apparatus and house moving. Such motors are said to be entirely un- der the control of the motorman, start the car without any jerking and stop it quickly and smoothly, and are claimed to be par- ticularly safe in crowded streets. One of the strongest recommendations to streetcar companies for the adoption of this syatem is the comparatively inex- pensive manner in which the work of con- verting lines ean be accomgnshed. The motors can be applied gradually to car after car without interruption to traffic, and dividends can still be earned while the change is being accomplished. It is estimated that the cost of motive power by this sysiem wiil not exceed 15 mills, or 134 cents per car mile—a much lower figure than under either cable or electric power. It is not expected to begin any of the work of converting the local lines until after the election, as funds are not now available, and it is not possible at this time to dispose of bonds to advantage, owing to the unsettled condition of the money centers, due to the silver agitation in the United States. Alisky Wants Damages. Charles W. Alisky, who two wecks ago secured a divorce from his wile, Ethel Duff Alisky, on the ground of infidelity, yesterday mode of propulsion as soon as all condi- tions are favorable to the change. Charles F. Crocker, president of the company, stated yesterday that while the matter had not been formally settled, it was one of the things contemplated in connection with the improvement of the company’s system. He added that expeir- ments are now being made ‘in the East, and on the resuit of these would depend the final action of the company. He fur- ther explained that everything looked favorable for the success of these trials. The plan contemplates the conversion of not only the cable and horse lines, but the electric roads into compressed air rail- ways. Where the grades are too steep, however, the present methods of propul- sion will be retained. The roads that are not likely to be changed for this reason are the Castro, Powell, Sacramento and Clay-street lines. Cox:rnned air at the present day is applis to more than two hundred dis- tinct mechanical uses. During the past few years, while the public has been ab- sorbed with' the wonderful achievements in the electrical world, the best inventive talents have been at work on this great medium, unlimited in the su;rly, until it has been thoroughly subjected to man’s intellect. ¥ Compared with steam and electricity it is said to be safer and much less expen- sive. Its alleged treedom from smoke, vngor. ashes, cinders, odor, noise and liability of explosion make it more desir- able than steam, and the simplicity, safety and controlability make it preferable to electricity. As regards economy it is claimed to be yastly superior to either, requiring much less initial ontlay, much less cost of main- tenance and is less liable to interrnption of service. In Paris, in Berne and in Nantes com- pressed air motors have been in successful operation for ten years, and the use of compressed air on the continent is fast increasing. For over a year past there has been in operation at Rome, N. Y., an air street motor, which has run through the heat of summer and the extreme cold of ,winter with equal reliability, and eight more motors have just been completed for street railroad in Chicago and New York. brought suit against the m-rengondenc in the case, George H.

Lieutenant James Polo of France, who has been for & good while past traveling throughout the French possessions of the worlid, was among Wednesday’s arrivals here. Lieutenant Polo is a picturesque looking gentleman, with a dark, flowing beard and hazel eyes. He wears a white bat, and his garb throughout tells that he is a traveler—one who has probably seen much of adyenture. Conversation with the lieutenant showed that ‘this was true. He has been six months in Tonquin, three months in Cambodia, and for an almost equal length ‘of time in Cochin China. “] have had a very enjoyable trip,” said the lientenant yesterday. “Prob- ably the most amusement I had grew out of my hunting experiences. I hunted in all countries that I was in, and there is a great deal of game in all of them, too. “But the most game that I saw and the biggest, the most fascinating in every re- spect for a man that really wants hunting ot a kind that will thrill the blood, I found in Cochin China. There I went out after tigers that roam in that country. There are a great many of them there, and some of them are very big; and they are not amiable to meet, either. I went out with a large party and we hunted in different sections. * “We did not search for the tigers es- pecially 1n the jung'e, for there they are as often found in the open as anywhere else. We were so successful in our hunts that we got nc less than seven tigers. Of course in killing so many we had a good many thrilling experiences and there were some close calls among members of our party. Besides these tigere we killed a great many stags and smalier animals. It is undeniable that Cochin China as a coun- try for sportsmen is one of the very best that could be desired.” Lieutenant Polo is on h home in Paris. He will prol only a short time. way to bis hlyybo here “WHAT CATHOLICS D0 NOT BELIEVE” The Subject of Father P. C. Yorke’s Last Lec- ture. He Is Sure That This City Is Sick of Religious Con- troversy. GOOD PEOPLE ARE EQUALS Salvation Wiil Not Be Denied to M:mbers of Churches Other Than Catholic. Father P. C. Yorke spoke last evening at the annual lecture of Mission Council No. 8, Y. M. I, held at Mission Parlor Hall, on Seventeenth street. There were other pleasant features, in- cluding an introductory by John P. Henry, president of the council; a piano duet by the Misses Gadsby; an address by ‘Robert Wilson, chairman of the evening; soprano solo by Miss Katherine Black, and a tenor solo by W. J. O’Brien. : The ball was over-crowded and hun- dreds of women, men and children stood for hours in a sweltering atmosphere cheering and smiling in the face of many personal inconveniences. Robert Wilson introduced Father Yorke. He devoted some minutes in telling inter- esting stories, reminiscenses as it were, of his home in England. He told of the belief that it was but right when struck on one cheek to turn the other for a simi- lar visitation. 7 He related, however, the incident of a clergyman who had been knocked down twice, once from each side, and who, be- lieving he had compiied with the Biblical idea, pulled off his coat and gave his as- sailant a righteous thrashing. *‘This 1s exactly what Father Yorke has done. He was iirst slapped on one side and then on the other. He did all the law required and was knocked down twice,” said the speaker; “but he has followed the example of the English clergyman, has’ taken off his coat and has been ad- ministering the thrashing ever since.” “] have often bheard, but I have never experienced it until now,’”’ said Father Yorke 1n his introductory remarks, “what it was to be in the Mission warm belt.” This allusion to the enthusiasm with which the speaker had been received brought on a recurrence of the same. *I believe in the broad American prin- ciple which gives us all, Jews, Catholics, Protestants and disbelievers, the right to disagree. I believe every map has a right to his own idea in this country of tolera- tion. “From the bottom of my heart, how- ever, I wish the disruption of three years ago had never happened in this country; and I cry for peace, and still there is no peace. e Catholics, month after month, have turned first one cheek and then tie other without making a retort, and still there is no bitterness on our side. “There is nothing in our hearts against the Protestants. We are sure they do not sympathize with bigotry, proscription and ntolerance, and we are equally sure this town is sick of relizious controversy. It is like brother against brother, house divided against house, with nothing to gain but heartsores. We should be con- sidering more important measures, going by the board, while we are discussing questions that should have been buried three centuries ago. “The object of these lectures, given un- | der the auspices of the Y. M. L, is not to stir up religious controversy, but to teach what the Catholic church believes and to remove the view of those who look at the Catholic religion through colored glasses fitted during their early education. “I propose to speak only on ‘What Catholics Do Not Believe.’ "’ Father Yorkedeitly handled the subject of the Immaculate Conception, and met the idea that the Virgin Mary was adored by the Catholics by saying she was only revered and respected simply as is the mother of Washington or our own mother. *She is Mary, the first lady of the world.”’ Continuing’ on the proposition of idol- atry the speaker said: “We do not believe in idols, as some say. Itis not so that we adore images that have no eyes to see nor ears to bear. Those images we have in the Catholic church we know are mere dead things. We know how they are made and fre- quently how much they cost. We put <hem up in our churches as we do in our homes the pictures of those we love; in our vparks statues of statesmen, war- riors and others we honor. Why not, then, put up statues in our churches of saints, who certuinly are fully as deserving of honor as your James Licks and the like. This, ladies and gentlemen, is the only use we have for statues in cur churches. “It is said we believe the Bible is a bad book and should be under lock and key, and we believe it should be kept from the people. Itisnotso. We believe itis the word of God, written under the dictation of the Holy Spirit, but wa believe it should be explained because it is not everybody who can understand it. “For instance, Baptists believe in a cer- tain method of baptism, Methodists have another idea, and so do Presbyterians and others. It.isonly that they have accepted their respective views of the Bible and were never properly directed to its true understanding. It is just as if every citi- zen were furnished with a copy of the con- stitution of the United States to read and then each allowed to go off his own way to decide how the country should be gov- erned. “We are reproached with believing in the infallibility of the Pope. This propo- sition is not understood. We Catholics regard the Pope as you might say the Su- preme Court of our religion. arbiter of all our controversy and beyond his decisions there is no recourse. *In this City there is a spire on eyery corner, and they hate each other a little less than they hate us. The best of it is that nine out of ten do not know what they differ about. “If they got all their little churches into one grand one like ours instead of fretting themselves away, they would have power they do not possess to-day. The {rouble with them is they have no supreme court. In politics and business they have such a tribunal, why not have such in religion? **‘We do not believe that because you are not a Catholic you must necessarily be damned. Thank God, that is one thing Catholics do not believe. We believe the Catholic_religion is the true one, and we believe there is no salvation outside of it. “I want this last statement to be well understood. There is no salvation for any man believing in his conscience that the Catholic religion is the right one and who does not follow it. It is the same with the man who_believes in the Baptist, Presbyterian, Methodist or other creed, and who does not follow the conscience should direct him nroperliy. the man’s understanding or_ his conscience directs him one way and he goes another there is no salvation from him. God expects little from those to whom he has given little, but he expects a great deal from those to whom he has given much.” Jane Duff’s Estate. Judge Coffey yesterday rendered a decision e is the. which knocks ont the pretensions of the three | nephews of Jane Duff, who died January 7, 188!‘:. leaving a $38,000 estate to a favorite niece. His Honor decided that the petitions of the nephews had been improperly joined. —_————— DISPUTED PROBATE FEES. Heirs of the Eisen Estate Say They Have -Been Overcharged. County Clerk Curry and the attorney of the estate of Francis T. Eisen have locked horns over the probate fee to be paid for filing the inventory and appraisement of the estate. Under the county government act, which the Supreme Court recently decided applied to San Francisco, Mr. Curry demands $246 for filing the docu- ment, while the aitorney is willing to pay bat $58. According to the appraised estimate the estate is worth $248,864 39, but it is said that outstanding indebtedness: which must be paid reduces the net value to $60,055 07. It is on this amount that the attorney wishes to pay jees, while the County Clerk claims his percentage on the gross. Another point raised by the attorney is that the county government act of March 24, 1893, under which Mr. Curry is acting, does not apply to San Francisco, and that it is unconstitutional anyhow. The paper was first presented for filing October 2, 1895, and was refused. On meeting a second rebuff Wednesday an order was obtained from Judge Coffey directing that the paper either be filed on payment of $58 or that the County Clerk appear on October 13 and show cause why be has not obeyed the mandate of the court. — - SIXTEEN GRAND JURORS.

Some 200 Rooms to Be Added to the Capacity of the Hostelry. SOME OTHER IMPROVEMENTS Mrs. Oelrichs Is Making a General Ine spection of the Property With That View. The special administrators of the Fair estate are not waiting in idleness with their big trust pending the probate of this or that will or the settlement of any part of the labyrinth of litigation. ‘With the return to the City of James 8. Angus, one of the administrators, plans that have been long in contemplation for enlargement and complete overhauling and renovation of the Lick House will be immediately put in motion. The old building of the Builders’ Exchange is to be torn out and the space, 75 feet front on Post street, is to be filled out n harmony with the Lick House building, thus adding not less than 200 rooms to the capacity of that hostelry. The hotel is also to be completely overnauled, refur- nished in a great measure and to be painted inside and out. It is expected that not less than $60,000 will be spent uvon the rehabilitation of the old building and $200,000 on the big addition to the structare. 3 Mrs. Oelrichs is not by any means put- ting in all her time in giving depositions and in sliding down the chutes. A large part of it has been employed in looking over the property, In company with the administrators and business agents, con- sulting as to the best moves to be made for the improvement of the City prop- erty. Besides the plans with regard to the Lick House that have been determined upon it has been practically decided to remodel the old office building on Mont- gomery street, cutring out the wide en- trance that divides its face and carrying the elevator down to the level of the side- walk. A coupie more stories may possi- bly be added to it also. A new building is also to be putup on the site of the old one recently destroyed by fire, on Commercial street, The Bella Vista Hotel, which has been leased to Mrs. Tracey, will also be remod- eled somewhat.

The contract originally pro- vided for the expenditure of $300,000, of which $150,000 has already been paid out. Speaking of the work of reclaiming the large stretch of land at the foot of Van Ness avenue, Mr. Crothers, one of the spe- cial admimstrators, said yesterday: “‘Senator Fair’s death interrupted nego- tiations for the lease of a number of these blocks, but we anticipate no trouble in making profitable use of them just as soon as the estate is ready to make the con- tracts. We believe that coal and lumber yards will be congregated there in great numbers. The hauling for all the Western Aadition can be done from that point by way of Van Ness avenue at a saying of ail the heavy grades. Oh, yes, we are goin, right along to complete the improvement.”" In the dental colleges of the United States there were in 1893 4152 students learning the principles and practices of dental surgerv. ——— e NEW TO-DAY.
