He said: | “The marking question is a casual refer- | ence in relation . to ‘maintaining a sober | mind in the: affuirs of life. The kind of religious revivai referred to is not a legiti- | mate awakening * of - réligion, showing | itself “in . tue desire to léad: better, more | devout-'and - more. helnful lives.

Eyery kind'of disturbance of | the normal sction 6f the-brain and nerves, | whether-due to -stimulants, narvotics or emotional sensationalism, is, in its degree, | of the nature of madness.

A | CaLy representative placed the press re- | vort of Professor Jordan's address before | him last ni-ht. He bad not heard of the matter before and manifested the greatest interest, asking for a second and even toird reading. His first words were: *I am surprised as well as pained at these words of President Jordan, but I do Bot wish to enter into a controversy with him upon a general declaration like this, made without any reference to myself or my work; but it seems strange, doesn’t it, that a member of the Congregational church, which believes in revivals, and of course in instantaneous . conversions, should make a deciaration like that? I can readily believe, nowever, that Dr. Jordan made the statement you have just read to me. When a man denies the validity of the atonement and sneers at miracles as President Jordan has done, we should not doubt the corroctness of any report which represents him as promulgating agnostic ideas. He is at the head of a great and pop- ular institution, and, as I said . be- fore, Ido not desire a controversy with him. The patron of that school, Mrs. Leland Stanford, is warmly devoted to its | welfare, and she is a true friend of myself | | and wife and has been for many vears. She and Governor Swanford sttended my church in Washington for many years. But regarding my views of revivals and of instantaneous conversions, 1 say that I firmly and steaafastly believe in what | is understood as revivals of religion | in the evangelical church. I believe in a | progressive and instantaneous conversion, | and so do thousands of the ablest men in all parts of the civilized worli—men as eminent in science and literature as in religion. If President Jordan wishes to question the sanity of many of the leading jurists, historians, scholars and scjentists of all times and inall countrnies—why, that | is his affair, but it is a weighty Tespon- sibility, it seera to me. *‘According to my view the acceptance of the Christian religion and the unfold- ment of the Christian life is emnently the act of a sane mind. How can a con- version to religion which contermplates the ‘| betterment of the individnal in every walk of life be construed into insanity? To do good and be good is not insanity surely. No, I cannot doubt for » moment that the man with the noblest, best and purest motives is likewise sane in the highest and most exalted sense. Far from agreeing with Dr. Jordan, 1. want to re- mind- him that the insanity of mankind touching this question is portrayed by the infidel and agnostic. The reformations of Luther and Wesley mark eras in the world’s history, so attested by the ablest historians the world has ever seen.” Bishop Newman nes to the opinion that these expressions of agnosticism by President Jordan are the direct result of his training at Cornell University under the guidance of President Andrew White. The Bishop regards President White as an agnostic—a kind of veiled unbeliever— and Jordan is siowly and gradually pro- mulgating President White's peculiar ten- ets. The Bishop said that prior to Jor- dan’s visit to Cornell he was apparently devoted to the causa of the evangelical church as practiced by the Congregational churen. Dr. E. R. Dille, pastor of the Central M. E. Church of this City, wrote and | knowledge that signed the following as his comment upon Professor Jordan’s address: “I do not understand Dr. Jordan to characterize all revivals as religious dissi- pation and spiritual drunkenness. These bave been enthusiasm, excesses and fanati- | cism which have masqueraded under the sarb of religion, but religion and genuine revivals of religion are no more responsi- ble for these vagaries and follies than they are for the ghost dances of the Piutes or the orgies of Mrs. Woodworth’s followers. “That there are weak and shallow souls who, instead of buying their excitement At the cigar-stand, the whisky saloon and the opium joiat, get it for nothing at the camp-meeting, is doubtless true. Butina ministry of twenty-five years I have been in many revivals of religion which were characterized by reformations in life and transformations in character, and in none of these have I ever ceen the scenes which Dr. Jordan describes, where men and women lose their reason and self-control. “‘Macauley, Green and other historians agree that the Wesleyan movement in England, which was simply a widespread revival of religion, exercised a most salutary influence upon private virtue and public morality in England and saved the state church from spiritual decay. And 1 suppose that Dr. Jordan will ac- the work - which ' Mr. Moody has been doing for the last twenty vears on two continents—a work which has been entirely unmarred by wildfire and fanaticism—bas been a great and in- calculable blessing to the world. R. Drree, D. D.” The Rev. H. A. Ketchum of the First Presbyterian Church said that President Jordan had setup a man of straw and knocked it over. “Religious excitement that amounts to intoxication iy not upheld by any one,” said Dr. Ketchum. “But certainly a proper aegree of excite- ment is desirable, at least an awakening of Christian spirit, s that men may be d 1s- posed to aporeciate: their own position and the supreme importance of religious matiers. This is all the revivalism that any-one ever advocates, and it never did any harm on earth. “'Many of the greatest and most success- ful revivalists of history have conducted their service« without any undue excite- ment. There wasan immense revival on tue day of Pentecosi, but there was no in- | sanity or intoxication.” A Thbe Christian ministers did not meet yesterday, but in speaking of Dr. Jordan’s | ideas on Tevival meetings Rev. Dr. Francis S. Ford of the First Christian Church of this City eaid : “On the whole I think I agree with Dr. Jordan. Revival meetings, that is, the sensational ones, you know, are a species of moral drunkenness, and I think it im- possible for one to undergo such a com- plete change of character and thought in the shortspace of an houror so, and justthe same effects can pe made on the same subjects oy the simpie use of a little hyp- notism. Why, I have actually known people to go into trances and stay there for hours, the results of a sensational re- vival merting, and think Dr. Jordan knows whereof he speaks, and I must sincerely agree with him.” THE SHARON BABY WON HER CASE Judge Cook Gave the Lafe| Senator’s Grandniece to ‘.

Judge Carroll Cook’s court yesteraay morning. The mother and daughter were inconsolable because they had been torn asunder by the strong arm of the law. “They took my little one by force and ‘would not let me see her until I came into court this morning,” said Mrs. Weyle. | ““The child was dragged irom my arms by | Frank Sharon, a brother of my former hus- band, and was given to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children without my consent, “Last Wednesday I left my child, whois 4 years old, at home with my present | husband, Ernest Weyie; and as I was get- ting home a man spoke to me and said he was Mr. Holbrook, an officer. He ghowed me a star, and said he wanted to talk to me about my baby. He cempelled me to go with him to the Donohoe build- | ing, where I met ather men, among them | being Frank Sharon, my former husband’s | brother. They adyised me to give up my-| child, because, they said, 1 was an im- proper person 1o raise her, and I refused. Then they took her from my arms by main force. ; “You see, she wants to comeback tome, Judge. You see that for yourselt.” “‘Never mind that for the present,” said the Judge, though he could scarcely shut his eyes to the fact that the child was stretching out its tiny arms to its mother and . smiling at her through its tears. -t was held firmly on the lap of its father, Fred Sharon, a nephew of the late Senator ‘William Sharon, who built the Palace Hotel and the Children’s Pavilion in Golden - Gate Park. “The child evidently “ held no aversion to its father, yet it mani- | fesied a -marked. desire 10 get to its | mother, and in a pretty way played at | peekaboo with her around the corner of | Attornev Tauz: rmcbair, Mrs. Wevle testified that she isliving | with her husband whom she married in | Jackson,. Amador County, about three | months ago. Ste admitted that she nad | moved several times since coming to this | City, but said that was because her hus- | band wanted ber to do so. She denied that she had done anvthing wrong. ‘red Sharon, an enginecr in the San | Francisco Fire Department, testified that | be and his former wife were divorced in | Nevada and he came to San Francisco, | in the Fire Department. Alter about two years he wrote to his wife to come to San Francisco and he would marry her again. He met_her in Sacramento and suggestea to her that he would like to have some assurance that.she was going to do right. It was very expensive, this marrying and getting divorced, so his pian was for them 10 live together for a year, and if.at the end of that term of probation both were satisfied it would be time enough to have anotber ceremony performed. She consented and .he furnisheda a home i! which they lived with the little child Louisa for five months. A misunderstanding again separated. She went to Jackson in this State, where she married Weyle. After her return to this City several arose and they | conld not “be held against her with ere he obtained a position as engineer | T veeks ago he heard that she was not act- |ing rignt, and asked-the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children for as- s'stance in_protecting his chiid. Robert Weincke, bookkeeper of the Golden West Hotel, *estified that on the 1st of last the morning he was aroused by a noise and be went upstairs, where he found Mr. Weyle breaking in the transom of Mrs. Weyle's room. Weyle called Weincke to bear witness that there wasa man in his wife’s room. The door was opened, and sure enough there was a man in the room, but he had on his hat and overcoat ana walked out of the house. Ernest Weyle corroborated the story about breaking in the transom and find- ing in the room 2 man from the town of Jackson. He said he only wanted to de- mand an explanation, but was too angry to listen to anything that was said to bim. He appeared to have been satisfied subsequentiy, however, as he and his wife are again living together. “Is’it the cusiom for the gentlemen of Jackson to call oa their lady friends at hali-past 5 in the morning?” asked Attor- ney Tauzsky. Judge Cook thought that the social cus- toms of Jackson were immaterial so far as the present case was concerned. Attorney Anson Hilton represented the mother and was assisted by Attorney T. | J. Batts. They took turns about in grill- ing Sharon, the former husband of Mrs. Weyle. Sharon’s action in taking his former wife to live with him without the formality of a remarriaze was commented | on with severity. Frank E. Sharon, a brother of the child’s father, was allowed to testify in his own defense on the accusation that he had used undue force to get possession of the child. He said that he did noching more than heip Loid her while the officers took tiee little one from the room. When asked why he tuonght Mrs. Weyle was an unfit and dangerous person to bave the custody of the little girl he re- ferred to what he had heara about her re- centacts and added that she had threat- ened to kili herself and the child if the | little one shouid ever be taken from her. | This latter remark pleased Mrs. Weyle's attorneys, as th thought it but a mani, festation of her love for her offspring. Judge Gook said that there was some testimony before the court that by infer- | ence could be held to show that Mrs. | Weyle had been indiscreet, to say the least, but the incident at the Golden West bad not demonstrated any guilt on her part. S far as her living with her former busband in this City after they had been divorced, and without a remarriage, that y greater force than againat the father of the chiid. In this regard both were equally blameworthy. The court might award the custody of the child to a third party but when the little one was of such ten. der age he would ho!d that the mother was ttie proper-custodian, no matter what the mother might have done. Bauliff Samuel Shear is gray-baired and venerable, and he seemed to enjoy carry- ing out the court’s order, as witi: a face beaming with benevolence he restored the baby to its mother’s arms. Then there was more weeping, but this time it was for joy, as with kisses and caresses Mrs. Weyie carried her little one from the couriroom: Boxing Club Eatertainment.

The Issue Is Whether the City Shall Pay for “Chops and Tomato Sauce.” On One Side Are Threats of Criminal Action, and Upon the Other Side Sarcasm. | The Board of Supervisors yesterday afternoon listenea to a little “roast” of the Superior Judges, who have agreed that the jurors in criminal cases must have their meals sapylied to them by the City Judiciary Committee of the board has de- cided that demands for such meals will not be audited. The “roast’” was admin- istered by the Judiciary Committee. It was incidental to a revort containing other matters. Tbat part of the report which referred to th> announced inten- tion of the Superior Judges is as follows: Referring 1o the communication from Judge Cook of the Superior Court, stating that he will disregara the provisions of resoiution No. 15,702 (third series) in the matter of meals for trial jurors, your committee deem it to be o mater of regret tnat the Judges of our crim- inaicourts cannot appreciate the situation. The large expenditures made during the cur- rent fiscal year on account of jurors, simply for attendance, whether they perform jury duty or not, make it appear reasonable to pre- sume that they should. pay for their meals as they would have to do under other conditione. There the matter stands and may stand for several days. Whether the jurors will have ‘‘choys and tomato sauce” or other viands at the expense of the City and County will very soon be determined: The Supervisors voted some weeks ago uot to pay any such bills after February 1. Meanwhilo the Superior Judges have intimated that if the City and County officials prevent the fesding of the jurors they will become amenable to prosecution under the Civil Code. On the other band it is said that the rovision for paying the jurors a per diem gas been enacted since the Criminal Code proposition went into effect. The committee yesterday made other recommendations concerning jurors as follows: In the matter of demands for service or at- tendance as jarors in the criminal depart- ments of the Superior Court it is also recom. | mended that the opinion of the City and County Attorney be requested as to whether in those cases where the persons | named are delinguent for State, City or County taxes, they be required to pay delinquent taxes before the sa'd demands are allowed; also whether the toard can deduct from said demands the smounts due, It is recommended to place on file the com- munication from the City and County Attor. ney, with his opivion that the City and County is linble for the fees of Grand Jurors &t the rate 0f $2 per day for each aay’s atlend- ance, and for the fees of trial juiors atthe same rate lor each day's attendance on the Superior Court when the court is engaged in criminal cases, whether the juror has been actua ly impaneled or not: also that the City and County 1s not lable for the fees of jurors in civil cases except when a_party litigant, nor i criminal cases in the Police and Jus tices’ courts. e — Carl schultze Wanted.

The following correspondence between Mr. McMenamin, the well-known producer of hermetically sealed sea food, of Hamp- ton, Va., and the Postum Cereal Co. may interest some, as it touches a point upon which there have been some queries: ** HamrroN, Va.—Postum Cereal Co., Battle Creek, Mich.—Gentlemen: Reply- ing to vour letter I beg to say that your health coffee iias a flavor, so far as I can remember, of the best coffee, and this cof- fee flavor was so pronounced that T sus- pected that coffee was mixed with the other grains. Iserved it to some of my guests without telling them what it was, and they pronounced it very excellent coffee. One of them was & coffee-drinker who had to haveit three tim saday. I would hike to know if there isany coffee in it. Very truly yours, James McMenamin.” “*BATTLE CREEE, Mich.—Mr. James Mec- Menamin, Hampton, Va.—Dear Sir: We have your esteemed favor of the 28 h, and in reply to your inquiry as to the ingre- dients will say that we are willing to stake every penuy that we can cet together that Postum not only does not contain coffee, bat that it is composed strictly and en- tirely of pure cereals of the field, the ereater portion being the various parts of wheat. It look us nearly a year of exveri- menting to produce Postam, the bealth coffee. It is an easy matter to make a weak sort of drink from browned rye, wheat or malt, but to produce a liquid from the cercals that has the color, taste and nourishing properties of our present product taxed our best energies and that of one of the most expert analytical chemists in America. ‘“We felt a desire to demonstrate the principle that man’s drink at meals shouid be made from grains without any sort of adulteration or chemical preparation aside from simple cooking. It may be further. explained that in order to produce Postum the cereals are cooked in different ways and the final mixing of ths proper propor- tions is what giv s us the desired result. “There is no possible arrument that can be brought forward that will raise the question for s moment regarding the fixed 1act of the healthful, nourishing and fat. tening properties of the cereais furnished by the ali-wise Creator for man’s natural use. We thank you for your kind letter. Yours respectfully, Postum Cereal Co., Lim.” There is but one genuine origina!

Young ledies may be beautful,. but nothing 18 more attractive in this world than u Jovely old lady with ‘her white hair, ‘her rosy face, wrinkled if may be, but with'eyes beaming with.kinkness even through. her spectacles.

But there isteally no need for elderly ladies. to. be weak or sickly. They can build_up their health-and keep it after it is once secured if they will only adopt right means. Many aged peaple have d covered a:way to renew theirstrength and vitality when they feel weak and worn out, and others may profit by their experience. Here is a recent opinion.on this important subject: Mr. Walter P.° €hdapman,: 29 Hanover timore, writes: *My grandmather, is past Y0 years of age, bas been using Duify’s pure mait whiskey for about thres renrs, and it has acted aipost-like a charm. 1t has always given her-an ‘appetite and prevented any disorder of the stomach. She could not'do without it. = In the above-and tnousandd of ather cases Duffy’s pure malt whiskey hasproved a godsend to elderly men and women who lacked health and strength. This is bes cause it is a wonderful tonic and nerve food. Therefore be sure and get Duffy's re malt, no matter how much you may. rv. somerhin PARET. be ureed to RAILROAD - TRAVEL.
