He Thinks It Strange That, With the Large Attendance, Such Should Be the Case.

They heartily indorse the stand | taken by the members of the other nines for 20 per cent of the gross receipts. Since the tournament commenced the | most that ¢ player has received in a | game on a percentage basis has been $13. | Baut this only occurred once.

But this 10 per cent business | means starvation to the ball players.”’ Maguire, shortstop of the Reliance nine, makes some serious charges against the Hearst management, He says that taken up tickets, 1n the absence of the clubs’ representatives,. have been taken out of the box, returned to the box-office and counted as unsoid. This was done to re- duce the amonnt paid the players. At12 o’clock to-day a meeting, it isan- | nounced, will be held at the Mayor's| office, when the disaffected managers will present to the tournament commitiee their ultimatnm—20 per cent of the gross | receipts to each of the contesting clubs. The calf-hued promoters, it is under- | stood, will not accede 10 this demand. They say the tournament will be con- tinued ifonly two cinbs remain init. They | peremptorily refuse, or did last night, to | accede to the demands of the managers. | But this is regarded by many as a game | of bluff. If the Wili & Fincks, California | Markets, Reliance and Heesemans drop | out of the tournament all interest in the | game will be lost, and those attending the | exhibitions at Central Park will comptise the baseball reporters and the umpires. The saftron journal management’s latest move is to reorganize the tourna-, ment, readmitting the Fresno Republi- | cans. Manager Byxbee has been ap- | proached by the yellow ball management | and askea if he were given 20 per cent | of the gross receipts- would the Fresno | Republicans consent to play a series of | games in this eity. | Manager Byxbee was asked about this | proposition last night. He would neither | affirm nor deny its truthfulness. “*There is | oue thing certain,” said he, “the Fresno Republicans will never play here again uniess they receive 20 per cent of the gross receipts. There is another thing certain, 1f we enter the tournament that $1000 is ours.” But the greed of the saffron manage- ment in giving the Fresnos 20 per cent of the gross receipts and refusing to accord | the ciiy clubs a like amount would make the games so unpopular that few would | attend them. The yellow promoters of the national game are in a bad box. They look upon | the present uprising of managers and players as a revolt, which 1f ace ded to will seriously affect their pockets, and they are furious, contending that basebalil- players belonz 1o that class oi cattle who have no rights and who, in the allotment of creation, should find satisfaction in serving their masters, even if in so doing they starve.

He also drew the atteniion of his hear- ers to the fact that all prosperous business men owe their standing of wealth to their ability in saving the fragments. > Unaer the theme of “‘Suffer little chil- dren to come unto Me,” he exhorted the parents to bring their_children to church while young, thereby instilling into them the true virtues of religion. The pastor paid a fitting tribute to Gounod, the composer, speaking especially of his compositions of *““Faust” and *‘The | Redemption.” The musical programme was well ren- the management of Sarauel The Love of Ehrist Constraineth Us. In the absence of the pastor, Rev. Oliver | C. Miller, minister of the Church of the | Holy Spirit, was invited to fill the pulpit at Simpson Memorial M. E. Church, morning and evening. His theme in the morning was “The Constraiaing Love of | Cbrist and the Power of Its Working,” drawn from Second Corinthians, v:l4, *‘For the love of Christ constraineth us.” He said: R text is the answer of Paul to the cen- ure of his enemies, because of his in- tense earnestness which led him to break through the Conventionalities of hissurroundings. His one reason is because Lis eye is fixed on perishing souls. For tnis reason his great master was censured by his own kiusmen, who said of him, “He is beside himself.” Our text turnishes the best motto for an exalted and happy life. Supreme serv- ice to Christ bids us enter that “perfect law of liberty” that irees us from all other masters. The only possible apology for the existence of the church is that it is a_means to an end and thatena the saivation of souls. We love him because he first loved us. Itis the Christ nailed to the cross that inflames Couid Lazarus fail to love Jesus, who had raised him from the dead? How mueh wore shonld we love him who lifted us ip when we were dead in trespasses and in n? Let us ask how can this (ove be obtained? Itis shed abroad, or poured into our hearts by the Holy Ghost given us. Hence we sce the importance of the Savior's entreaty 10 his disciples, “Receive ve the Holy Ghost.” Through tne indwelling of the holy spirit it is possibie for us to love the sinner with Christ's own love. It puts usinto place ana thus makes soul winning inevit- e. We look upon the lost one with the eyes We think upon him with the mind We pity bim with the ity of | Christ.

The love of Christ enters into our sorrows with inexpressible tender- | ness, as when Jesus groaned in spirit to see | the weeping Mary by the grave of her brother | Lazarus.

It is ail-exceeding, knowledge-sur passing love. “Greater love hath no man than this, ihata man lay down his life for his friends.” This love manifests and transfigures our hu- manity with the divine nature.

H. T. Shepard preached on Socialism and Individualism.” in part: So LONG as human nature is imperfect and He said inful antagonism will exis: between compeient wealth and incompetent pov- erty, and in this struggle shrewdness will usually win. More immediate difficulties are oppressive and unscrupuious use of weaith and distressed and incompetent but self and <ht indigence. flict_thai promises a more hopeful that between successful industry and unfortunate toil. Successful men and honest and aeserving but unforiunate men have mutual interests and should be close friends. War between them arises from individualism. only fina! remedy for either conflict 1s neither individualism nor vagaries of com- munism and anarchy, which disgrace respect- sable socialism by usurping its realms, but Cnristianity. Individualism tends to eliminate society for the individual and thus marshals society ugainss it. Socialism, correctly speaking, is weakened by & tendency to depreciate Christian princi- ples which recognize and defend diff-rent de- grees of merit, and which uphold consequent disparity in distribution of wealth and happi- ness and to eliminnte the individual. “Christian socimlism’ hasless of these faults. Christianity itself sets highest value upon each individual life and realizes the iife’s best saccess in & common weal, where no ie liveth | to_himself and none dieth to bimself, and where every citizen rejoices when nis neigh- bor becomes more prosperous than he. “Life of St. Bernard.” By Father Powers. At St. Mary’s Churca yesterday morn- ing Rev. Father Powers preached a ser- moi on the life of St. Bernard. In sub- stance be said: 'T HAS been suggested to me to say some- thing to-day of the life of St. Bernard, to whom lately a new window has been dedi- ceted in this church. While I pass over the feast of to-day—Seven Sorrows of Our Blessed Lady—I shall bring tefore you someihing of the character of a saint who was distinguished tor his tender love of the mother of God. St. Bernard 6tunds forth as the most promi- nent figure of the time in which he lived. He had a personality strong enough to attract io himse:f notonly he monks of the monaster- ies in which he lived, but bis inflyence a: extended over the priesthood, the episcopate, princes, nations and the vontif him- self; and yet this man, whose voice was powertul enough 10 arouse the whole of Europe to a holy w whose influence knew no bounds, was always & lowly and God-fearing monk, atiached to the exercises of a monastic life, looking upon himself as theleast of men and contented to hold the lowest piace. How shall we discover the secret of his wonderful influence cver the men of his time? Is itio be fouud in those natural gifts of mind, which undoubtedly he possessed, or in those noble virtues with which his soul was adorned? The strongth of the saint was the strengih of God. He died to himself, and arose irom that death to a new and supernatural life, in which God’s holy spirit was the life-spring. His close union with God gave him his wonderiul power. He became a facile instrument in the hands of the holy spirit, and thus his work was brought to its completion through divine assistance. To us he teaches the lesson he :;encx;ned 50 well—to die to self and to live for od. Duty of Reaching the Higher Classes. Rev. Gilbert Reid, airector-general of the Internstional Institute of Peking, China, spoke at the Westminster Presby- terian Church, yesterday morning. His theme was the importance of using the best agencies, and more specially the duty of reaching the higher classes in such a country as China. He sawd: HE principle which I seek to establish I is_the importance of recognizing the strongest, attending to the fittest, using the best, honoring the greatest, bowing 10 the supreme. 1f the expression, “:Survival of the fittest” hardly seems compatible with areligion of mercy and self-sacrifice, we can have no dispute with the expression, “Utiliza- tion of the fittest.” The Bibie lays great stress on the respect due to a na ion’s rulers, even in the tyranuical Roman Empire. We are not called upon to crown ihe worst men, in order to show how benevolent we can be; let us crown the best. It is not expected that we should use the worst tools; let us use the best. Mr. Reid related some of his experi- ences among the mandarins of China, having become acquainted with some 400 of them, inciuding the highest in the country, as Prince Kung and Li Hung Chang. He vriefly siated that & proof of their friendship and capacity to be in- fluenced even by a foreigner and a mis- sionary was the sanction under official seal given to his scheme for an interna- tional insiitute by all the members of the Imperial Board of Foreign Affairs, eleven men in all. If this instiiute cap be started speedily that body will show fur- ther favor, ana influences can extend therefrom through all the land. ORICKET ACROSS THE BAY. The Pacifics Gain a Very Easy Victory Over the Alamedas. The Pacific Cricket Club has, at this late date, secured the strongest team in the association. In a contest with Alameda yesterday they had a veritable walk over, being viclorious by three wickets and 98 runs. The feature of the game was a magnifi- cent display of batting by Captain Dickin- son. His inning of 136 included some poundary hits that will long stand as record ones at Webster street. Spiro and Morey, for the defeated team, did careful and efficient work, but the odds against them, wnen the Pacifics’ inning was called, were insuperable.

Detectives Gibson and Wren Detailed to Make an Investigation. The death of Frank Girot, which oc- curred at 1:30 o’clock yesterday merning in a rooming-house at 19 Trenton place, was considered to be a case of foul play when the matter was reported to the Coroner, and Detectives Ed Gibson and Ed Wren were put on the case. They have come to the conclusion, in the absense of the Coroners examination, that nis death was from natural causes. It was known that he haa been subject to heart failure, In his pocket was found a receipt for §150, which was on deposit in Peterson’s saloon at 901 Kearny street, besides $350 in his pockets. Girot’s mother is emploved as matron in the City and County Almshouse. Last evening J. McNeise, a frequenter of Chinatown opium resorts, was arrested by Officer Flynn on suspicion of having caused the death of Girot. He was taken to the City Prison and entered on the small book. DEATH OF JOHN SINNOTT. Was an Ox-Team Freighter From Chicago to the West in the Fifties. SAN JOSE, Carn., Sept. 19.—John Sin- nott, a pioneer of this State and a wealthy mine-owner of Leadville, Colo., died at the family residence at 283 Guadalupe street last evening. He had been in poor health for some time, arriving here a couple of weeks ago, and a few days later took to his bed. Death resulted from dropsy of the stotaach. Sinnott was a native of New York and 68 years of age. In 1856 he went to Lead- vitle, and engaged in freighting with ox teams across the plains from Chicago. He also conducted a general merchandise store al Oro City. He married Miss Delia Ela in Illinois in 1838, and shortly after- ward came to California. Mining en- gaged his attention for a while, and in 1872 he came to San Jose. He and his brother opened a dry-zoods store, but in 1879 he sold out and 1eturned to Lead- ville, where he invested in mining enter- prises. At one time he was one of the largest owners in the famous London mine, and at the time of his death was possessor of some of the most valuable mining property in Colorado. A widow and four daughiers—Dslia, Néttie, Catherine and Sue Sinnott—sur- vive him. —_——— TRUSTEES’ 84ALE PREVENTED. Would- He Purchasers of the Carson Criek Mines Disappointed. ANGELS CAMP, CarL., Sept. 19.—The proposed trustees’ sale of the Carson Creek Mining Company claims, viz : The Jones mine, the Virgennes, the Independ- ence, the Gates, the Carson Creek, the Harrison, the Remington, the Garreit Placer and tbe Dooglass Hill, in defsult of the payment of a promissory note for $20,117, secured by a deed of trust cover- 1ng the entire property, ciaims and appur- tenances, was restricted a few minutes be- fore the time of sale by the appearance of a San Francisco lawyer with an injunction of restriction on bebalf of Patrick Phil- lips, a shareholder, on the ground of ir- regulanty in issuing the deed of trust. It was a complete surprise to all the pros- pective purcha-ers assembled, as the sale had been advertised thoroughly for a long time. The Carson Creek, or Adams mine, it is sometimes called. is five miles south of Angels. and has given employment to a large number of men in the past, who will propabiy be thrown out of employment on account of pending litigation.

He Does Not Believe That the People at Klondike Will Starve, Cattle Being Taken Into the Big Valley for Food—The Natural | Features. Right Rev. Peter T. Rowe of the Epis- copal church, after an absence of two vears in Alaska and along the Yukon River, has just returned to civilization, and is staying for a fow days in this City. He preached yesterday at the Church of the Advent and St. Paul’s Church. The Bishop's trip down from St. Michael was not the most pleasant that one could desire, for during the voyage he was the constant attendant of three very sick people. One was Andrew Anderson, a miner from the Klondike who contracted typhoid fever while nursing two men, cousins, who were afflicted with the disease. The sec- ond was the Rev. 8 JI. Rene, the superin- tendent of the Catholic missions in Alaska, who was in a dying condition. The third is E. Fitzgerald of Grass Valley. The latter almost died from an sffliction of the glands of the neck. All three are now in the hospitals in this City. During bis travels Bishop Rowe has been a very observing person, and he has now a great fund of knowledge of the country through which he has passed. In the spring he went over the now noted Chil- coot Pass and into the upper valley of the Yukon. He says that at certain times of the year the pass is not so difficult to get over as many suppose, but in the winter time he believes that it must be something terrible. It so bappened that the Bishop reached the Klondike about the time that the mining excitement was at its height, and he is of the opinion that the stories told or the wonderful mineral resources of that region are not at all exaggerated, but that as great gold discoveries will be made in the coming year as in the past. When asked as to his opinion relative to the ont- look for those who have gone into that country this year, and the possibility of the food supply holding out until more can be taken, the Bishop said : “While there is sure to be some priva- | tion and want, still I do not believe there will be many cases of aciual starvation. Nearly ali of the old miners have cached considerable food near their claims, and even the newcomers have contributed some to the general supply. Another source of supply that will reiieve a_seri- ous condition is that several bands of cat- | tle have been and are being taken into | this country by the way of the Chilkat Pass and over the Daiton trail to Selkirk, a distance of about 300 miles, At Selkirk, which is opposite t e Pelly, these cattle and sheep will be killed and dressed, and rafted down theriver to the miners, When Ileft there was a band of 350 cattle and sbeep and more were coming.”” While on the Yukon the Bishop paid considerable attention to the natural feat- ures of the country, and he expressed the helief tkat while the valley of the Yukon will never be an agricultural country still there are many varieties of vegetables that will grow well there. Between Anvik and Tanns, a aistance of 500 miles, the bottom land is rich and very producrive. The native grausses grow to a hei:ht of four feet, and could be easily converted into fodder for the food of cattie. The latter would have to be protected during the long, hard winter, where the general temperature is usually 45 and 50 degrees below zero. In that strip of country peas, turnips and cabbage grow well, and pota- toes have been rai-ed toadvantage. While on his travels the Bishop found many fine native fruit foods, such as cranberries, bineberries, red currants, and a delicious berry called ihe jewberry. Native onions also grow profusely, and while wholesome are inclined to be very pungent. Grain, he says, couid not be grown to & profit, for the seasons are too short and the frosts would be sure to spoil 1t while in the milk condition; still it could be cut for fodder. Bishop Rowe will remain in this city for several days. This afternoon ne wiil deliver an address before the Woman's Aurxiliary of Grace Church. In the even- ing he will speak again ar St. Paul's Church, and to-morrow he will go to San Mateo, where he is to speak in the evening. The Hogansville Shootings ATLANTA, Ga, Sept. 19.—The recent shooting of the negro Postmaster at Ho- gansville threatens to entail no end of trouble for the people of that town. A Postoflice Inspector has finished a three days’ investigation of the shooting and it is stated to-night that as a result of his work two of the most prominent business men in the town will be arrested this week on a charge of attempting to assassinate the Postmaster.
