I for- get his name. e took the 20 per cent, turned it over to Mayor | Phelan and the amount was re- ported to me.” Messrs. Phelan and Pringle thus afford direct denials of the Examiner's false as- sertions that “‘the receipts of the baseball | tournament have been handled by a com- | mittee,’” etc., and that *‘these gentlemen | divided the funds.” This exposition of the committee’s jurisdiction over the moneys received makes ridiculous the Examiner's loud and convincing assertion, *‘such a charge as made by D. N. Knowles could not be true without the dishonest collusion of Messrs. Phelan, Newhall, Crocker and Pringle, and that is too preposterous for i consideration.” Three-fifths of the receipts have from the start been wholly in the hands of Manager McNeill, assisted by the Ex- aminer, and the committee has neituer known nor cared to whose pockets they went, The financial success of the tournament | was assured months ago. The three-fifths beionging 10 the management has amounted to between §15,000 and $18,000. The rent of Central Park and the in- cidental expenses leave a certain profit to somebody of many thousands of dollars. The Examiner has thrown all its adver- tising energy into booming the games, { When the clubs who were getting one- tenth of the receipts each when they played saw the enormous profits that were being made out of them and demanded 20 per cent instead of 10 the Examiner, always ‘*for the peovple,” hercely fought tho vproposition that the proprieiary vprofits should be cut down a trifle and the clubs given a decent share.

Fifty | men are at work upon the structure, which will be completed in a little less than forty days, or before high water. { All the materials needed are now on the ground. The structure, which is to replace the old wooden bridge, will have three steel spans supported by iron eylindrical plers | filled with concrete. | bridge and the ties will be of timber boiled in creosote to preserve them from decay A bridge somewhat similar to this is River, near Modesto. That bridge, also | put in to replace a wooden structure, has five spans of 50, 60, 62, and 200 with a | | 1otal length of 372 fee:i. It differs from | the new Lodi briige practically only in the fact that it has piers of granite masonry instead of cylindrical iron filled with cement. In addition to these two new steel bridges the Southern Pacific expects soon to | build a bridge of similar character across | | Deer Creek in the Sacramento Valley, | near Vina station, on the great Vina | ranch. This bridge, replacing the present | one of wood, will have three spans of fifty | | feet each. | Two or three other steel bridges will probebly be built later by the company at places not yet determined, | | | | 9 AR OF FATR LADIES | There Are Delicious Dinners, Booths and Fun at B'nai B'rith Hall, Seven Pines Circle, Ladies of the G. A, R., Offers Varied Delights at Its Bazaar B’nae Brith Hall was bright and at- tractive last evening with the successful fair being conducied by the ladies of Seven Pines Circle No. 3 of the G. A. R. It was the second night of the bazaar, which it was decided yesterday to con- tinue another day and night, closing to- morrow night. The ladies serve a deli- cious dinner from noon until 2 p. . each day, and to-day there will be chicken. It sorts of nice things and plenty of them. The booibs are all attractive, both on account of the displays and the ladies who receive the dimes. One booth is the place to get delicious home-made jellies, etc., put up by tbe ladies. The fancy booth has some marvelous neediework, and the paper, domestic, candy, refreshment and other booths are all well supplied with nice things. The most interesting booth is alarge one filled with relics mainly of the civil war, and one is surprised at the display over which Mrs. A. J. Budd presides. There is a little demijohn in which Gen- eral Roveri E. Lee carried whisky and quinine all through the war, and one may see General Sydney Johnston’s old can- dle-molds, The Daily Citizen of Vicksburg, July 2, 1863, printed on the reverse side of wall paper; a beautiful quilt, pieced by distin- gmished ladies of ‘the Cenfederacy, and sold to buy ammunition; a rebel union captured by Capiain John Powell of the Ozark, and bnllet-torn fiags are among the many thirgs on the walils, Each evening a musical programme precedes dancing. Last evening’s programme was as follows: Solo, Professor Ball ; banjo trio, Professor and Mrs. Kolander and T. Bell; duet, Mrs. Eawyer and Miss Kittie Kennedy; fishers’ hornpipe, Miss Flore Conlie; song, Mrs. H. Lewis, accompanied by Helen Coursen-Roeck- ell; trombone, Messrs. Gardner and Duhem. The tair is in charge of a committee con- sisting of Mrs. J. E. Harvey, chairman; { Mrs, E. B. Griffith, Mrs. J. H. Whiteside and Mrs. Lizzie Sawyer. —————— STOLE A HORSE AND BUGGY. Three Small Boys Who Wanted to Drive to San Jose. Three small boys, G. A. Bodel, 12 years of age; Joe Moser, 10, and Cuarlgy Moser, 8, were arrested last evening by Policeman W. W. Wilson and locked up in the City _Prison. Tuesday afternoon they stole a horse and bugey from the water front and drove to a lane off Mason street, hitching the | borse tc a post. They stole a quantity of hay from a stable in the lane to feed the horse, which led to their arrest, as the sta- bleman notified Wilson.

If the pessimistic Israelite with ad | vanced views regarding the decadence of his faith could have visited San Francisco yesterday, could have witnessed the vast crowds assembled in the temples and noted the devout air of the multitude as- | sembled, he would have had ample zeason to modify his opinions. Rarely in the history of S8an Francisco Judea has there been such a vast outpouring of those who reverence their ancient faith. From all parts of the State they came, reformed Jews, orthodox Jews, radical Jews, con- servative Jews—Hebrews of all shades of | opinion on matters ritualistic and com- | munal. For the nonce Jeshurum had | ceased to wax fat and kick, and this from | physical as well as mioral causes. The ! | Hebrew banker stood side by side with | | the humble peddler, and the wealthy merchant rubbed elbows with his indigent brother in Israel. From early morning until after the sun had set the house of Israel comamuned with God. Services were held in all the synagogues, and at intervals sermons were preached by the rabbis. A special feature was made of the musical portion | of divine worship. Traditional melodles modernized and adapted to present-day requirements were efficiently rendered by | choirs of trained voices accompanied on | the organ. The compositions of modern | musicians, too, were included in the| services. ‘ A single blast on the shofar, or cornet, | announced ths termination of the fast of | the atonement. Beslow will be found an account of the serv.ces in detail. | The Hebrew Day of Atonement came | to an end last night at 6 o’clock and was | observed in all the Jewish synagogues. | Services began at an early bour in the | morning and continued throughout the | day. The Temple Emanu-El was| crowded all day and the services held there were particularly interesting. | Rabbi Voorsanger delivered two addresses and the musical programme was espe cially good. posed and arranged by Cantor E. J. Stark | and was rendered by an orchestra ana | choir directed by Wallace Sabin, organist. The soloists were Miss Daisy Cohn, Mrs, | S. Reynoids, A. Werner and S. Homer Henley. Services began at the Temple Emanu-E! at 10 A. M. and ended at 5:3 Promi- 30 p. M. nent features of the morning service were the rendering of the opening hymn, “Lord*of Ail,”” *Kedushah’’ (a sanctifica- | tion), the anthem *Lift Up Your Heads" and “Ez Chajim.” Miss Cohn sang a solo part in the last number, In the afternoor “Unesaneh-Tokel” was rendered and was pariy sung by Cantor Stark upon the traditional Jewish melody. The memorial service, which began at 3:30, was pariicularly interesting and the orchestra was assisted by a harp and flute. The opening Lymn, *“O Lord, What Is Man ?” was composed by Cantor Srark, and both Mrs. Reynolds and Miss Cohn sang <olos. Tne requiem, “Whv Art Thou Cast Down, My Soul?” by Cantor Siark, was a feature of the service. Rabbi Voorsanger delivered an address at noon, taking as his subject “Jonah.” For the purposes of his lecture he divided the life of Jonah inio three stages, and from each drew a lesson applicabie to the Hebrews cf to-day. The Bush-street temple was elaborately decorated with flowers, and the choir ren- dered some very effective music. The choir consisted of Mrs. Eva Tenney, M ss Sarah Bienenteld, Mrs. Reed Cushman, Miss Maud Frank, Willis Bacheller, J. H. Lawrence und Charles Parent. Professor F. Dellepiane officiated at the organ. Rabbi Meyers delivered two addresses during the day. At noon be spoke on the subject of “Confession,” and in the after- noon the memorial services which were composed by Rabbi Meyers were rendered.

Leuschner, professor of astronomy at the University of California, who has been on an extended tour throughout Europe, arrived 1 this city last evening. He met at Benicia by his father-in- law, E. A. Denicke. Professor Leuschner said last evening: “The purpose of my trip was (o study the methods of colleges abroad, with the idea of endeavoring to build up a department of instruction here in which astronomers could be trained for practical work.
