We should teach them the truths of our re- ligion <o that they would never be ashamed to say ‘I 2m a svir.tualist. The speaker continued with the advice to meet the world from the world's side. “Let us come ebreast of the times, and take ho!d of the things that are surring the people. Good government is one of tnese things. There are siili such men as Abrsham Linc In, and we should select them for public service. I believe the spiritualists could be one of the greatest | factors for putting good men in office. Bishop Simpson said some years ago that there were 12,000,000 sp ritualists in the country, and now there must be many more. We should not spend all the time in the dark circle; we shouid get out and take interest in politics.” . After the speaking there were a num- ber of tests by mediums. Some oi these failed to 1receive corroboration from the persons in the audience indicated by the spirits, but most of thein were und rstood and scknowledged as correct.

There would be equal representation and equal opportunities to achieve and acquire.

Dr. Mackenzie, DN.D., delivered the charge to the newly installed pastor. Among other things he said: ‘‘My brother, I have not much to say. 1 ao not come among us as a novice, and what might proverly be s2id to younger men wouid be inappropriate here. Men have come among us who were selfish and thought themseives infallible, but they have failed: and the failure has been laiu, not to the door of ignorance and self- importaunce, but to the hard-heartedness of the California people. *‘There is nc room in this City for a sen- sational preacher, and I do not thinkyou lean in that direction; but there is too much sensationalism here now. There is but one thing 10 be remembered, and that is that the Word ol God and human hearts are the same here as in other pr- tions of the world. I presume you brougnt your Bible, and if you did, follow its word and all will be well.” After singing « hymn a charge to the congregation was deliverea by Rev. John Hemphill. He spoke of the necessity of thorough understanding between the one who preached the gospel and those who listened. Tke pronouncing of the bene- diction closed the instailation ceremonies, | and handshakes were in order. During the morning Rev. Mr. Cryor delivered a sermon on the text, ‘“The Powerof the Holy Spirit.”’ At that time the church, which has but recently heen completed, was for the first time opened to the public. TALKS OF SINGLE TAX, Hon. J. D. Stevens of Portland Gives His Ideas on the Evils of Land Monopoly. Thne Single Tax Society was addressed last night at Red Men’s Hall by Hon. J. D. Stevens of Portland, Or. His subject was of very comprehensive compass and embraced single tax, railways, the press, the initiative and referendum and the im- perative mandate. He said the people in his country were very much divided as to the root of present evils and their ideas of what would remedy them. Some thought the adoption of the single tax was the cure for society’s ills; some said co-opera- tion, some the suppression of the liquor traffic, and others thought the initiative and the ref-rendum would set everything 10 rights. B ——————— FIRED THREE SHOTS. Meaders’ Saloon the Scene of an Early Morning Fracas. Meaders’ saloon, on the corner of Grant nvenue and Morton street, was the scene of an ealy morning shooting fracas, in whic: Mike Raggett ana “Bill” Gieason were the principal acters. The trouble occurred at 6 o’clock yester. day morning, when several of the hangers- on of thatlocality were winding up their night’s carousal. Through some misunderstanding be- tween those two, both of whom were the worse of liquor, Ragget: pulled his pistcl and fired turee shots at Gleason, who was in the act of going out through the door- way to escape. Fortunately none of the suots took effect. The police were on the scene imme- diatelv afier the <hots had been fired and took Raggett into custody pending fur- ther . nvestigation as to 1i:e cause of the | rousle. . -——— A GATHERING OF CLANS.

The Prize-Winner at Oakland Fur- nishes a Novel Legal Precedent. After a stay of many days behind the bars and back of the City Prison Flora W, the beautiful setter who carried off the blue ribbon at the Oakland bench show, is luxuriating in freedom once more and is hapov. Flora’s rescue from the hands of the law, hcwever, was not by any means a simple matter.

Yesterday's cricket match at Golden Gate, between the Pacific and Bohemian clubs, resulted in a veritable walkover for tae former, who won by over 200 runs. This result was partly due to the ab. sence of several of the Bohemian players, but not less to the introduction into the Pacifics’ team of new and very effective talent. Going in first the Bohemians were di:- posed of for 77 runs, Lugg and Sioman making the best stand. Then followed several hours of leather-chasing. C. P.

William H. Moreland, rector of S:. Luke’s Episcopal Church, preached last evenine on *“What Is the Use of Going to Church?? He referred to large numbers of people | who spend Sunday at home, 1n the parks | and on wheels, not as condemning them, | but as those who were sacrificing a higher #ood for a lower.

William Rader spoke a: the T hird Congregational Church last evening upon “The Modern Pagan.” He said: AGANISM is not confined to China and ndia, America is full of a pernicivus heathenism which knows better. It has a government, iteflag is red, its princiles thatof the mob and the bomb.” The dsuger- ous man of the communily is be who is inde- pendent of tne political forces around him. is bitter and bitter is sweef, that right is wrong, that fire will not burn, ice will not freeze and water will not drowa. Its religion is this, “Let us eat, drink and be merry, for to-morrow we die.” In superstitions and fancies do we exhibit our paganism. A class rush in Berkeley re- produced the savagery of wolves of the prairie and ethics of the earliest pagans. Corbett and Fitzsimmons are governed by Queens- berry rules, but the exhibitions at cur State University which ended in broken legs and cut heads was governed by passion. Tae most aificult man to handle is the modern pagan, who is impervious to civiliza- tion. The man in the gutter respands; he does not. There is a doctrine of future provation for the foreign pagan—none for the American pagan. Chrisuanity is good government, good philosophy, good religicn—character. bt An Oakland Divine Condemtis Rushing. OAKLAND, CAL., Sept. 5,—Last evening at the Twenty-tirst Street Free Baptist Church, the pastor, Rev.

A BLAZE IN THE ORPHEUM. | Small Fire Near the Gallery Last Night—Prompt Action Saves a Panic. A vhrill of excitement, occasioned by | something not on the programme, pre- | v d at the Orpheum for several mo- | ments last night near the end of the per- formance. Some black cloth fastened about the cinematographe apparatus at the edge of | the rear gallery, just above the main aisle, caught fire from a cigarette or cigar spark. There was a brief scramble for the exits | by those nearest the doors, and perhaps a hundred persons rushed out, only to | turn and re-enter upon the immediate as- surance that there was no danger. The empioyes of the theater had acted promptly in turning a fire extinguisher upon the biaze and in interposing them- seives in the zisles to prevent a reckless and dangerous stampede. In this work Sergeant Shea and Officer Brophy were especially serviceable. The members of the orchestra thoughtfuily aided in preserving admirable order by arising, facing the audience and playing a spirited tune. The damage was slight, the greater part being to a larse pane of glass in one of the front doors, smashed 1n by an excited out- sider. The owner oi the cinemotographe, in attempting to save his machine, had his hands slightly burned. After only a few minutes delay an athletic act, then on, was concluded, but | the final number on the programme was canceled because of the aceident to the mechanism that produces the life-like animated views. e e e IN HONOR OF A SAINT. at St An Annual Feast Celebrated Rose Church Yesterday.
