THE SAN FRANCI SCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 9, 1897. W S/ An andience that fairly packed the Cen- tral Methodist Chureh listened to the Rev. Dr. R. Dille last night in his sermon telling of the weapons needed to fight the battle of faith. He said in part: Ix THIS war there are three things impor- tant: The weapons, the word of God; the army, the church of Jesus Cu.rist; the source of strength, the Holy Spirit.

Wells, the pastor, de- livered a sermon on “Discontent as a Condition of Progress.”” He took for his text Pnilippiansiv:11: I have learned in whatsoever state I am therewith to be content In part be sai F PAUL had been s poor-spirited as he rep- ts himsell in the passage he would never gone to the Klondike, even asa fonary. He would not have hed force erough to hold an opinion of entertain a con- viction. The contented men are those who stand around au_excavation and waich other men work. Paul wasnot a contented man; he was simply not concerned about money or Juzuries. For all that pertained to manhood, character, usefulness, he was aciive, restless and insatisble. He was possessed with an eternal, subiime, divine discontent. Abso- Jute conten: belongs oLly to lower grades of life. It is man’s destiny not o be dissatisfied, but forever unsati fied. There is no hopo for the man whois not discontented. It goes without saying that the chiei mark of this age is the number of discontented peo- ple. Discontent rgely smung the people ihe best off. There is nolabor question among the Indians or Mexicans. There is a natural | tendency to be unsatisfied with what is, and 10 strive for what ought to be. This is true in the social and industrial world. We are {m- patient of the imperiect civilization which wo have builded. Man cen thiuk out and create a better one. We will be forever uusatisfied, | and strive for what ought to be in the religious world. The early ages settled no great questions forus. Why should we believe they had su- perior rel'gious iight? Were the iathers au. thorized (0 speak and act for the Almighty? The common sense of the world has taken care of tnat. The method of the worid’s progress to-dny is the method of education. ational nterpretation of lile says that hu- manity’s glory is (he perfection of man’s na- ture by educaiion. in all this there s no room for conteniment. We cannot sit still in the chureh, cannot believe as our fathers did, If we do the worid goes on and leaves us be- hind. Ouly & dead man never turns over. o Consider Sin And Salvation. The Rev. Dr. Wilham Martin of Santa Rosa occupied the pulpit of Calvary Pres- byterian Church last night ia the absence of the pastor, Dr. Hemphill. He took his text from Isaiah i:3, “The ox knoweih his master, and the ass his master’s crib; but Israel do:b not know, my people doth not consider.” He said in part: WERE not intended by our Creator 10 spend & life of toil iof the mere ma- terial goods of life, nor to spend itin dle sensuality, “My people doth noi consider,” 11 they did’ the miilennium would come. Let me #5K you an earnest quesiion. Lo vou comprehend the true nature of sin? Many will admit that they are sinsers who really feel no more of the sorrow and shame of sin than wou!d we in our boyhvod days have feit at the confession of breaking a pane of gluss in the kitchen window. We do not | Tealize the heinousness and the enormity of | 8in; we do not know it as God looks at ft. We have no sense of it as it was known in Getnsemane and on Calyary with the bioody sweat and sgony of the eross. We should strive 10 know 1t in the sense of the text, It is the abomineble thing that my soul hateth.” Iwould have my people consider what is gal- vation? Thisissaiva ion: “He that be/ieveth is not condemned,” *“There Is now, therefore, 1o condemnation for (hem that dweil in Christ.” Balvation is glorious, aud saivation is free. Finally I would sum up d to-night in the sentence, Rabbi Myers Speaks On National Judaism. ABBI ISADOR MYERS spoke at the R Bush-street Temple yesterday morn- ing on *'National Judaism.” The speaker told in detail of his experiences among the Jews of Palestine, where he beheld several hunared devout followers of the ancient creed in prayer at mid- night on the historic hills. At another time he witnessed impressive services at the anniversary of the destruction of an ancient temple. The speaker divided his theme into four parts, siating that Judaism was dogmatic, ethical, ceremcnial and national The latter phase of the subject wasthat which he desired to give his atiention to in the address. He :aid that a study of the race and its history would show that there were strong national characteristics in all ages. Although Jews in_ America are 2ood Americans, ani in England good Englishmen, yet they held a national ideal, and hoped some day to have a strong and beneficent influence on the world by the example of true and united Judaism. LONG PRAGTICE MARCH Troop I of the United States Cavalry to Proceed to Santa Cruz. Preparing for Grand Maneuvers in the Woods in the Vicinity of Redwood City. Captain Chsrles G. Starr of the First In- fantry, United States army, has been ordered to proceed to Redwood City on duty in con- nection with the selection of camping-grounds | en route to that place, and last Saturday Major Edward Field, Third Artillery, inspector of artillery, end First Lieutenant Robert H. Noble, aid to Brigadier-General Shafter and inspector of small arms practice, left for Red- wood City on business in connection with the examination of grounds suitable for a target | range. The men who have been engaged in practic- ing with small arms at the military range at the Presiaio will be required to carry out cer- tain practice calied for by the new firing reg- ulations, but for want of room at the Presidio it will ve impossible for them to engage in that practice. For that resson it has been decided to have the men march to some point in the immediate vicinity of Redwood City, where there is plenty of room for such exers cise without danger to any one. Itis the pur- pose of the officers having charge of the move- | ments to have the men form in battle array and fire by volley by batia ion, and also have the Lhree branches of the service engaged at one time, namely, the artillery, cavairy ana infantry. The men will be marched io the place that shall be selected and they will camp at such points as (aptain SI&rr may se- lect. The time for the depariure of the troops bas not yet been decided upon, Troop I of the Fourth Cavairy, commanded by Captamn Lockett, has been ordersd to march to Ssnta Cruz and will start in time to arrive at that place on the 1dth inst, and there will encemp with the Third Brigade of the National Guard until the conclusion of the tour of duty of that organization. Cap- tain Lockett has been ordered 10 sssist in 1m- parting fustruction in such monner as may o desired by General Muller, commanding | the brigade of the National Guard. At the termina:ion of the encampment the troop will ! return by marching to its station at the Pre- sidio. This will give the troop a practice march of nearly ninety miles each way. Upon depariure the iroop wil be furnished two es- cort wagons of four-mule team each, with a driver to transport the necessary field equipage of the troop en route. A lieutenant of the troop will, in addition to his troop du- ties, act as quartermaster and commissary, and he will be furnished funds by the chief quartermaster for the purchase of forage en route and transportation requests, and also be furnished funds by the chief commissary of the department ior the purchase of iresh beef and vegetables. Subsistence stores other than these will be provided as required from tae Presidio on ration returns. While the troop is with the National Guards- men tne citizen soldiers will have an oppor- tunity to learn much by observation of the duties that are required in the army of the men, and it will be an object lesson toat they will never forget. This idea is new on this coast, but it has been tried in other States and found to have resulted in much practical good to the guardsmen. Colonel Miles, commanding the Presidio post, has not vet leit on ine leave of absence | recently granted him. Major John S. Witcher, paymaster, has been granied leave of absence for thirty days. The payment 0. troops at Alcatraz Isiand, Angel Island, Benicia Barracks, Benicis Ar- senal and San Diego Barracks signed to Lieutenant-Colox Deputy Paymester-Genera . The third of the heavy rifles has been placed in position at the Lime Point battery. Two additional h avy rifles have been r ceived for the battery at Fort Point, and these wj{)l]\ be placed in position as rapidly as pos- sible. On the recommendation of the chief surgeon | of the Department of Caifornis, acting H nry B. Staley of the hospital corps, whose turlough expired on the 4th inst., has been ordered to report to the commending officer of the United States troops in the camp near Wanona. Tjpon authority from tne Assistant Sccretary of War, Sergeant James Dooley, Company D, First Infantry, will be granted three months® furlough, to” take effect upon bis re-enlist- ment. ————— BURGLARS CAUGHT. Harry Burke and Michael O’Brien Found in Con Harrigau’s Store. Officers G. W. Meyers and Jerry Dono- van, while patrolling their beats at Eightn and Folsom streets last night about 9:30, observed something unusualin the store of Cornelius J. Harrigan at the southeast corner-of Folsom and Eighth streets. An examination of the door leading into the store convinced the cfficers that force had been used to pry the duor open. They entered the premises and behind the counter they found Michael O'Brien croucned with the money till vetween his legs, which had been pried 4rom the arawer in the counter. Officer Donovan took charge of him, while Officer Meyers’ search was rewarded by finding Burke hid behind a barrel in the cellar. §‘he thieves were tak-n to the Central Bration, and on being searched $5 in smail silver coin was found on O’Brien and 100 cigars on Burke. —————— The Haves and Bave Nots. At the meeting last night of the American Branch Socialist Labor Party at Washing- ton Hell, 35 Eddy street, E. Seiler, Tom Bersford, George Speed and M. W. Wilkins were the speakers. Mr. Seiler said the strug- gle was between the haves and the have nots. Mr. Bersford said that the student of econ- omics can come to butone conclusion, and that is that socialism is the only natural con- summation of the presentsystem. Mr. Speed spoke of the ease with which workers are de- juded, and Mr. Widkins declared that pal- lintive schemes wouid not avail much longer; the issue—capital vs. labor—would have (0 be met face to R He Tried to Board a Oar August Pfeiffer, while trying to board a Fourth-street electric-car, which was in mo- tion, fell and broke his leg.

IT FLIS A LONG-FELT WANT. All the Missionaries Are in Favor of the New Move Against Bondage. HAILED WITH OUTSPCKEN DELIGHT. 1 It Is Looked Upon as Being a Direct Answer to the Prayers of the Faithful Th e petition to President McKinley re garding the slavery which is known to ex- ist in California seems to have filied a “Jong felt want” in missionary circles and to have met with aresponsive cuord in the minds of the people generally. It was talked of in all parts of fhe city yesterday, and several of the ministers 100k occasion to speak of it from their pulpits. it wili be laid before the minis- ters’ meeting to-day, and active workers will tuke it in hand and push it before the people in order that it may receive severai thousand signatures before it is sent to the President. Every one seen yesterday expressed themselves as being very glad that at last something that looked toward adefinite action had been done, and all were entlusiastic in support of the new move. At the Chinese Consulate no expression could be obtained, as the Consul-General was absent and those who are under him did not care to goon record until they knew exacily how it would be taken by their chief. They were especially anxious to know just wbat was expected 0 be done by it, and just how it would affect business of the Chinese in this country. At the various missions it was hailea with outspoken delight, and the expres- sions of satisfaction were most hearifelt in their tones. They have béen working for years among the Chinese, and no other class of people in the world have as sooda an idea of what is really going onin China- town. The Rev. Mr. Chan, assistant superin- tendent of the Methodist mission, said thatit came just when the workers were most praying for it. He said: I have ong wondered when it would take definite Ishape; when some one would arise and lead the way out of the deplorable cond - tion which we have combated so long. This petition is just right. Itis far from stating the worst that is to be known about Chinatown. There can be no ques- tion about it doing a world of good in the work of fichting the great evil which exists in this City and State. I thirk every Chrisuan in the City will heartily indorse the movement, and if Con- gress will take action and send a commit- tee out here they will have their eves opened to a state of affairs that will astound them.”” . Mrs. Lake, matron of the Methodist mission house, said: *It is just what we have been wanting for along time. The petition is certainly the thing that was most needed in our work. We have done what we could and have worked in this part of the City, hop nz and praying that the whole people would eventually get aroused to the true condition which’is to ve found among the Chinese in California. San Francisco is not alone in having slaves or slaye-dealers. All over the State is the same state of affairs, and if Con- gress will take notice of itand see to it that it is stopped it will do a work that no one else has ever been able todo. Iam sure that I am most heartily in favor of having the pet tion pushed forward, and feel that every minister and Christian worker in the West will do all in tueir power to have it made eftective.” Miss D. M. Cameron, superintendent of the Presbyterian Mission Home, said: “It1s just what we have wanted cdone for aJong time, and have wondered how long the terible outrages would be allowed to go on in this City before some one would | take it up and begin a crusade against it. The petition is the beginning of a most noble work, and if it can be placed forcibly before Congress and that body takes ac- tion there is no doubt that we workers in the missions shall at lust be able 10 see | a realization of our prayers and hopes. The people who do not get in among the Chinese as we do can never fully under- stand the terrible condition which exists right in the heart of this City. There is not a day but we receive stories of hor- rible occurrences, but as most of them are never told until after it is too late to in- teriere we can do very lictle good in the individual cases, and can only do what little is in our power to prevent a repeti- tion of them. This movement is one which we have hoped for, and now that it is started I am sure there is not a Christian in the whole country but will give it all the assistance in his power."” Miss Ida B. Hull, who has long been krown as one of the most active workers among the Chinese in this City and who has made many rescues of slave girls from the terrible conditions with whicn they were surrounded, said: ‘It is something that will do more good than can be un- derstood by any one who has not been right among the Chinese people. I think it is most timely, and believe that if Con- gress wiil take action now 1t will go far toward rooting out the evil things that are constantly going on among the Chi- nese. The petition is just right and does not stale the case any too strong, Jt could not do that, for the facts of outrages among the Chinese slave-owners can never be fu ly told. They can hardly be fully appreciaied even by those who see them | almost every day. I am sincerely glad that this step has at last been taken and am iureit will have a good effect on the work.”” Miss Marga: et Lake, who has devoted her life to work among the Chinese of this City, was most enthusiastic regarding the petition. Snesaid: “Who can now say that our prayers are not answered? We have boped and prayed that some one would take the matter up in some definite form and get the neovle fully arvusea to the true condition wuich exists among the Chin of this City. It isasplencid peti- tion, and I am sure every person who is interested in the work of Chinese mis- | sions will give their ihanks to those who are putting it forward. The petition does not besin to state the true condition. That can hardly be done, and if it were al] told very few would believe that such things could possibly ie done in a civil- | 26 Water sireet. ized city. Those who go among the Chi- nese in the mission work see things that are too horrible to put in print. And it is going on all the time right here despite all we can do to prevent it PARK RUNAWAY CAUSES PERIL Two Men and Two Women Have a Terrifying Experience. The Ladies Scream for Help, and a Mounted Officer Dashes to the Rescue, The Ohutes Has a Great Crowd to Attend the Picnio of the French Olub “Ligue d'Henri IV.” A very alarming runaway took place in the park yesterday afternoon and it came very near resulting in the killing of two men and two women. It was one of the most exciting events which have occurred in the park in many months, and it was terrifying to the spectators and must have been excee lingly so to the principals con- cerned in the adventure. Only one of the quartet was severely hurt, Miss May Donohoe of 306 Stockton street, and her injuries are not necessarily dangerous. The accident occurred on the main driveway, near the entrance to the speed track. William Foot of 417 Third sireet and George Carroll of 813 Hyde sireet, were out driving with two ladies when the poleof the vehicle broke at the point of junction with the doubletree and frightened the horses so badly they dashed off at full speed down the main drive toward the ocean beach. Foot, who was driving, reached forward to ger a closer hold of the lines, but the runaways renewed their speed as he did so and jerked him out over the dashboard. The wheels passed over his leg, but did not seriousiy hurt him. The lines were now lost, and, as the horses rushed on, the three remaining occupants of the buggy were is great peril. The ladies were screaming, and the man with them could not reach the lines or assist them in any way. Realizing this he called to his con:panions that the only possible chance of escave was to jump. He threw the lap- robe from his knees and leaping out found bimself unhurt. The two ladies were now more terrified than before, and screamed at the top of their voices. Miss May Donohoe unext <prang out intoa bush by th® roadside, Bat for the fact of the bush breaking the torce of her fall she would almost certainly have been killed. As it was she was very painfnlly bruised and was taken to the ambulance station, where Dr. Staf- ford attended to her. Thbe other iady was about to jump when she saw mounted Officer J. H. Kavanagh coming swiftly to the rescue, and then feeling reassured she kept her seat. Just as Kavanagh caughv the team by the hrads they broke free from the vehicle and the lady was thrown out, but tne speed had so far -lackened that the force of the fall was slight and she escaped with slight face bruises. The fine weather drew out very large crowds to the park and theocean beach. It was the clearest day there has been this year, and the view from the Clift House was correspondingly attractive. Among those who took in the glories of the ocean beach was the Englishman Ward, who made himself of wide noto- riety by eloping with Mrs. Bradbury. He was alone ana looking lonerome. The Chutes atiracted a big crowd ves- terday to attend the third annual picnic of the “Ligue d’Henri IV.” which was given by the members of the French Mu- tual Benevo'ent Society. The programme of amusements embraced a number of games for both young and old, and the chief feature was a typical French country dance, known as the Saut Ba-que. They also had a grand tombola for 167 very fine prizes. The list embraced sewing mac iines, gold watches, eight-day clocks, silver spoons and numerous valu- able artices. The sports were finished with a grand all-night ball. A DRAWN CRICKET MATOH. The Alameda and Bohemian Teams Have a Very Close Game. The event in cricket at Alameda yester- day was a contest between the Bohemian and Alameda teams. The withdrawal from the former eleven of their best bowlers led people to expect their defeat. Bat the prophets were not upheld by the result, which wasa draw. Going first to bat the Alamedans made 134 runs for which they were mainly in- debted to Moriarty and Peel. Captain Sloman of the Bohemians, in a magnifi- cent innings of 45 not oui, seconded by Randall with 28, did bis best to off-et this total. The rest of the batsmen, however, were easy victims for the men 1n blue and white. At the call of time the Boemians with 31 runs to make, had a wicket to spare, so the match was declared a draw.

On examination the wound proved to be superticial, as the bullet had hardly en- tered the skin, 1t was feared something serious might result irom the shock and he was sent by order of Dr. Deas to the Receiving Hospital.

Propriety Insisted Upon by Both Parties to the Con- troversy. However, It Is Expected That Calm Counsels Will Prevail and Harmony Reign, OARLAND OFFIcE SAN FRANCISCO Cnn,} 908 Bruadwsy, Aug. 8. Nothing that has transpired in church circles for years has caused so much in- terest as the circumstances published in THE CALL to-day regardin: the d sowning of the celebrated Sunday-school orchestra by the trustees of the First Congregational Church. The whims of Mme. Trebelli and her managers, though but one of the incidents leading up the summary dis- missal of the orchestra, have added greatly to the interest of the situation. Rev. C. R. Brown, pastor of the First Congrezational Church, would not discuss the details of the affair tonigh , and said it was an unpleasant matter that would pass off quickest if nothing were said abour it, “This is a family affair,” he said, ““and the less said about it the better.”” Now that the secrets of the trouble be- tween the church and the Sunday-school orchestra are ma.le publ ¢, all sorts of in- cidents connected with its existence are being related. At Sacramento and Fresno, when the orchestra visitea (hose places, two of the members did things that shocked the residents, because nothing but ultra-propriety was expected of a “SBunduy-school’’ orchestra. According to Manager William A. Fine the orchesira objects to being +kicked out,” but does not object to being invited to leave decently. turned the communic:tion of the joint committee of the church with a request for them to read it and see if they had fully considered its purport. He and Di- rector McCoy are both ready to accept its conditions, but believe that the terms should and would be couched in more pleasant language if the personal refer- ences were stricken out of it. “I was not present at the meeting at which the orche<tra was discussed,” said President R. W. Snow of the board of trustees of the First Congregational Church to-night, “so tbe letter was not signed by me at that time. It was pre- sented to me the nextday with the signa- ture of the secretary of the meeting. As it was not couched in the terms I thouuht ought to be used to a body of young people that had beld such harmonious relations with us for so long, I refused to sign it. Ithought the secretary’s name was sufficient. “The communication had three divi- sions in it, and shorn of all details, tney were these: First—That the orchestra drop the name of the First Congregational Sunday-school. Second—That their play- ing in the Bunday-school be dispensed with. Third—That as tl.ey were no longer the Sunday-school orchestra under ar- ranvsements, they should not expect the riviiezes they had enjoyed in the past. Now, if this had been conveyed to them in the proper spirit, there would never have been a word of trouble, for both Mr. Fine and Mr. McCoy have been planning tor this very thing themselves, as it was the wish of the orchestra. *But some one, whether it was the sec- retary of the meeting or not I do not know, couched it in such language that the boys did not know whether they had been thrown out or what bad happenead to them. ‘They naturally came to me to find out. Ishowed them the three points of the letter, and, telling them to forget the rest of the letter, asked them if they were satistfied with these. They replied in the affirmative, ana said they had contem- plated such a move at their first rehearsal, a week from Tuesday night. Then they accepted it in a Christian spirit, and made a manly response to the same. “As to the property that belongs to the orchestra. The only equity we possess is in the fact that we encoura ed them and gave them the use of the house and lights to raise the money for their purchase. No individual can come in and take any of it away, but the orchesira may do what they please withit. “It1s evident that some one is jealous of the ownership of the music and instru- ments. 1don’t believe that there would ever have been a word abou: tnis affeir it it was not owing to & jealous disposition being shown by some one. That always leads to trouble. “Little things, one after another, have been stored up by the deacons for twelve long years, and now they have acted. ‘They are nott - blame and everything will settle down as of olu. While I am in charge of the church, at least until I have different instructions irom the board of trusiees, ihe orchestra will meet for re- hearsals and give their concerts in the church as of old, and I told the boys so."” It bas been said Rev. C. R. Brown is the moving spirit in the plan to get rid of the orchestra, but this is not so, the astor being a cornet player himself. Mr. Ercwn has only said that members of a Sund: chool orchestra should certainly be Christians and members of the chureh. As several other churches have orches- tras the move of the First Congregational Church is being walched with great i) terest by the others, and may lead to a general revision of the rules of governing churches and Sunday-school orchestras all over the cit TON BY HEATY BATTING Santa Cruz Succumbs a Second Time to the Reliance Team. The Game Is Won by Superior Stick Work—Daubenbis’ Great Uatoh. Other Games. The game between the Oakland Reliance and the visitors from Santa Cruz yester- day was too one-sided to satisfy the large crowd of enthusiasts that crowded Central Park. The Athenians still had the batting streak that struck them in Saturdry’s game, and the way they hammered the leathered sphere around the park filled the hearts of the Santa Cruz sympathizars withh anguish. The game became monotonous after the second inning, as the Reliance aggrega- tion were able to connect Daubenis’ curves at will. In thefourth Devereaux was sub- stituted, but the Oaklanders were not to be stopped, as he was batted just as hard and often. D yleo's clever work in the box and the excellent support given him by his team He has re- | prevented Santa Cruz from doing any damage. The only opportunity the peopie had to relieve themse!ves of their pent-up entiu- giasm was in the seventh inning. Doyle was first up and bunted to pitcher and went oat at first. Wilson tollowed with a grounder to Nash, and was safe on one of | the latter's many errors. Siuz sent a smoking line drive over second, a nd Daue- b= nbis, who was playing close up, made a high jump and captured the sphere, and then made a ligntning throw to first, doubling Wilson an! endinc the inning. The clever play was received with great applause, and when it subsided the crowd settled back to watch the Keliance teany parade around the bases.
