Sergeant Christiansen, who has been do- ing duty 1n the ‘fog district,” was or- dered to report at the California-street Statfon. Just why the change was made the Commissioners refuse to state, except tosay that it was for the *'good of the department.” Notwithstanding their reticence it was learned that their object in changing the men was due to the ‘‘little” poker game which Captain Wiitman discussed about a week ago. Tnree of Wollwebver's men named Hill, Hutchings and Hall, were caughtin tue act of piaving the festive game in a saloon on North Beach. It is claimed that the men were in the habit of visiting the place nightly and en- gaging in a game of draw. Wollwebber failed to catch them and when the facts RCOMRADES, | | BE 6LOW,BuT WE xnOw5 4 \ } TING OR TWO ¥ GvEQ.—T He was being *'soaked” all right enough 'nda would have been pitched downstairs into & basement in another minute had nota policerr an come to his aid and scat- tered his a<sailants. The incipient riot occurred at the core ner {Satter and Kearny streets, shorly after noon yesierday. Itwas the result of a strike of 150 boys in the San Francisco District Messenger service. The one boy who did not join the sirike was Frank E. Polk, and when he left the office ar 200 Sutter street on sn errand he was set upon by a howling mob of juveniles and se- | verely beaten before the police could res- cue him. The strike was short-lived and ended in a complete victory for the strikers in little jore wnen an hour after it begun.

During the strike the messengers were augmented by alarge number of boys who had previously been in the service, and these latter were most aclive in their efforis to help along the strikers. Manager Corcoran was bom- barded with volieys o! groans, hisses and catcalls, and when he finally left the ! office ne was followed some distance by a jeering crowd. Superintendent Ackerman was at first | inclined io transfer Corcoran to another office, as ti:e latter has proved a most ef- ficient manager, but when it was hown that all th- boys in the service were in re- bellion it was deemed advisable to remove the manager from the control of the messeners. Ex-Manager Corcoran denies in toto all charges of undue harshness. He says that ue simply iried 1o maintain disci- | pline in the interests of the company.

They bad a sumptuous feast et the round table anda under the genial influences of Burgundy and champagne talked fluently and pledged the health of many livi | and paid a tribute to the memory of not a | few departed painters of renown. The happiest feeling imaginabie was the result of the recent exhibition of pictures at the club. In proposing a toast to the memory of Jules Tavernier, C. D. Robinson made quite a little speech, in whicu he re- marked that Tavernier dead was greater than seven-tenths of the living artists and newsboys | the sentiment was instantly applauded. H. 8.

Nellie Rodgers was found by the police early yesterday morning at Fifteenth and Dolores streets, apparently intoxicated, and suffering from a dangerous-looking scalp wound. Bhe was taken to the City and County Hospital for treatment. There a suture was put in the wound and the woman was bundled into the patrol wagon and rattled over the cobbles to the City Prison, wnere a charge of drunken- ness was to be placed against her. Sergean: Brown, who was in charge of the prison, refused to accept her as a pris- ouner, claiming that if she was drunk she was also suff ering from an illness, and or- dered that she be taken to the Receiving Hospital. The nde in the patrol-wagon had shaken the bandiges and dressing from the wound, and the cut wes bleeding afresh when the woman was taken into the operating-room of the hospital. The physician who bad performed the opera- tion at the Cty and County Hospital had made a very poor excuse {or dressing the wound.

Dr. Fiizzibbon, who was on waich at the Receiving Hospital, was obliged to re- dress the wound. He sa1d the woman was suiferiag more from epilepsy than from alcoholism, and when she was taken into the operating-room she was suffering from slight convuisions, Dr. Fitzgibbon would say nothing about the treatment she should have had at the City and County Hospital, but the at- taches of the Receiving Hospital thought itstrange that the woman should have been 1urned away from the big institution in the middle of the night suffering as she was and with such a flimsy excuse. — o DISOUSSING THE BIBLE. Annual Session of the Pacific Coast Bi- ble Confersnce Association. The first annual conference of the Pa- cific Coast Bible Conference Association opened in the First Baptist Church, Eldy street, Tuesdav evenine. While the se- vere rainstorm detracted somewhat from the attendance great inferest was mani- festea by those who were present. The opening address was made by the Rev. J. K. Knodell, who spoke on the “Seven Pillars of Wisdom.” - He was fol- lowed by the Rev. W. C. Stevens in an ad- dress on “‘The Personal Com:forter,” which was listened to with marked attention. The conference was reopened vesterday morning with devotional exercises led by Rev. C. C. Herriott. The Rev. J. C. Fra- zer then spoke on **The Holy Spirit in the Mimstry of the Word.” The speaker ad- dressed the audience entirely without notes, and his {requent quotations from the Bible showed great familiarity with tbe Word. He insisted on the verbal in- sviration of the Word and the necessity of the Holy Ghost dwelling in the heart and mind of the ministry of the Word in order to give the righi interpretation in the use of the Scriptures. He was followed by the Rev. Otiver C. Miller of the Church of the who took for hissubject “The Teaching in the Worship of He said in par “Tue church in a great measure has su- verseded the Holy Spirit, whois the execu- tive of the Goauead, in making her plans for work, hence ber weakness.

God commands us to bring an offering wh:n we come before him, but the church has in a great measure Jdivorced the offer- ine of our substance from worship. T .is has given rise to &1l kinds of unscriptural bod- for obtaining funds. The words of our Lord to bis stewards are ‘occupy,” not ‘possess,’ tiil I come. Man cannot witness for Jesus when he is grasping for worldly gains. If God calls a minisier 1o give up the idea of working for a stated salary and tru t him for his support he must obey. When Christ sent out his giscipies without scrip or purse, he asked them on their return, ‘Lacked ve anything? The answer was “\‘u;,even the devils were subject unio us.’’ Other addresses were made by W. W. Moses, Rev. H. N. Bevier, v. A J. Frost, D.D., and Evangelist Henry A. Ironsides. The conference will be con- tinued to-day and to-morrow. WILL SO0 BE MARRIED. Jefferson E. Doolittle and Miss Rebecca Jenning to Wed.

Trial of Lincoln Brodt for Swearing Falsely to a Land Claim. Lincoln Brodt was placed on trial in the Unitea States District Court yesterday for perjury, alleged to have been committed by nim when he swore to a claim fora United States patent for a tract of land in Butte County, on which the Al Ki :old mine is situated. The indictment charged him with having sworn that the land was more valuable for timber than for miner- als or anvihing else. Itis alleged thatat the time Brodt went on the land the mine was there in fail op- eration, and that the noise of the stamy- will could be heard for a mile or two all over the neignhborhood, When the Reg- ister of the Land Office at Marysville found what had been done he notified the Secretary of the Interior and the patent to Brodt ways canceled. The defense will claim that Brodt be- lieved the mine to be on the adjoining section and that he had been so iniormed by &n ex-County Surveyor named N. In- slow, also under indictment for the snme offense. Itisin favor of the defendant that the mine is situated close to the di- viding line of the section taken up by him ana the adjoining one. The trial will be resumed this morning. —_———— “Music and Its Revelations."
