Oakland Office of San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, Feb. 16. Rev. Dr. Coyle concluded his series of sermons to-night relating to the rea- sons why young men are not found in the churches. The speaker, having on previous Sunday evenings discussed the reasons sent him by young men, re- ferred to his ideas of their absence. “In the first place,” he said, “I do not me the theolo; of the churches. I glory in its orthodoxy. Pliable convic-{ would not command respect, and backbone is required in the pulpit of to-day. The church must adjust itself to the methods of the age.

We have fallen 1b age, and a facetious writer declares that the time is not far distant when the old Iyric will be revised thus: Club, club, sweet, sweet club; Be it ever so humb There's no place like the club. “In far too many instances the club has become a substitute for the home, and that which crowds out the home is more than Iltkely to crowd out the church. No doubt there is a legitimate e for organizations of this sort, but here carried too far and allowed to take place of home and church they become demoralizing. They cultivate ss, clannishness and have a to narrow and circumscribe human sympathies. I have had some y for observation, and on of what I have seen I feel erfectly justified in saying that the otee of the club has no home and no hurch. I am convinced that if a cen- S were taken it would be found that thousands of our young men owe their absenteeism to the club. “In bringing th talks to a close, therefore, I cannot do a wiser thing, a better thing, for you as young men out in the rough and tumble of life, be- set by a thousand temptations, than to invite ¥y and urge you and appeal to you me disciples of this Christ who d died and triumphed as a ng is forevermore the | ng nd | man (00N CARNIVAL. | AT TIE CALIFORNIA The Black Patti’s Troubadours | Break Sabbath With | Success.

Everything that ever happened in the,coon line is in this show | —from Sisferetta herself, the only black- | and-blue Pattl, to Alice Mackay, the | squash-colored Calve; from George Wil- liams, the stained-Irish policeman, to Er- | nest Hogan, the colored Chevaller, the man who wrote “All Coons Lok Alike to | Me.” There Is even a coon Chinese. The | musiclans and a bulldog are all who are | not coons. The bulldog knew his part | last night, but the band made a wild | muss of trying to keep time and pace with Mr. Hogan's dangerous, razor-edged Tyrics. White men were af a dlscount. | The whole show is 8o unlike anything | else on earth that it is worth seeing from | end to end, but the best fun is in the | opentng kit called “At Jolly Cooney Tsi- | and.” Here Hogan, who is a wonderfully | funny fellow, sings any number of good | songs; Miss Mattie Philips sings “Mr. Johnson, Turn Me Loose,” with the | real crappy volce, and dances a lopper- | jointed coon dance with an abandon that is only too authentic, and everybody joins in and lends an expert foot to the medley of buck dances and a strong, telling volce to the choruses. The chorus worl in the coon songs is the best that has been heard here; it has the swing and the | sweatness, and the iighss and shades of tone are delightfully managed. Black Pattl comes later on the pro- gramme and sings an Arditt waltz, omin’ Thro' the Rye” and ‘“The Old Folks at Home” with notable fluency, and with some sympathy in spite of & wir. tone. Then comes a lively cake wall and another installment of Mr. Hogan in several of his newest songs and several of his oldest jokes. The evening ends with thirty minutes of opera, in which Sissieretta and the en- tire company, clad in the operatic cos- tumes of all nations, range eastly from the Lucla Sextette to the Ave Maria fashioned on Mascagni's Intermezzo. —_———— Robbed His Cabin. ‘Willlam Piekorn, 2010 San Bruno road, reported to the police yesterday that during the night some one had broken ha | to Selec | stationery | pleasantly and profitably. | Grennan Bros., | been apprehende: into the cabin of his ond avenue, Bay V everything in it.

A decision was rendered by the Su- preme Court Saturday which limits the power of an agent to perform the duties intrusted to him and nothing more. The case which the higher court was called on to decide grew out of the dis- honest acts of a man In San Jose, named Hughes, whom a Mrs. Emma E. Hunt of this city authorized to procure $500 | | | on a mortgage on a plece of property she | owned in San Jose, at not more than 9 per cent per annum. _ Hughes found in a Mrs. Margaret. E. Walsh of that place | a person who was willing to take up this | mortgage. Consequently he notified Mrs. Hunt, who went to San Jose and signed | the necessary papers to perfect the mort- | gage, leaving the document in the hands of Hughes to be delivered to Mrs. Walsh | and the $300 to be forwarded to her as soon as he got it. This Hughes did, but | he did more, for he changed the face of the document and also the conditions of the promissory note from $500 to $1200, and also the rate of interest from 9 per | cent to 10-per cent. In this condition the transaction stood for one year and until Hughes left for parts unknown. Then the true condition of affairs dawned upon the two women, and neither would give n The result was that an action for fore- losure against the property was com- menced for the full amount of §1200 at the 0 cent. r Court in San Jose gave judgment for _this amount, holding Mrs. Hunt liable for the acts of her agent. From this decision she appealed to the Supreme Court, which body _re- versed the judgment of the San Jose court so far as the figures went that were put in by the dishonest agent, and held that Mrs. Hunt was not liable for his act of forgery, but As responsible for the amount she authorized him to secure the mortzage fo m $500 at 9 per cent interest. By this decision Mrs. Walsh is out $700 and her expected 1 per cent over what Mrs. Hunt had agreed to give. The decislon was written by Justice Van Fleet and_concurred in by Justices Harrison and Garoutt e —— SAILORS’ INSTITUTE OPENING. Rev. Father Wyman Delivers the Address at the First Meeting. | The Seamen's Catholic Institute opened its doors to the sailors last night for the first time before a large gathering, and Father Wyman, the Superior of the Paul- thers on this coast, made the open- ddress, in which he outlined the ob- jects of the institute and its purposes. The rooms are large, comfortable and alry and are located at No. 9 Mission street. On the tables of the reading- room will be found the dally as well as the weekly papers, monthly magazines and a variety of interesting books may also be had on the library shelves.

Tailoring Apgx;;ents of Grennan Bros. Looted Saturday Night. When Thomas Grennan, of the firm of tailors at 850 Market street, ovened his shop on Sunday morn- ing he tound there was less stock than when he had left on Saturday night. Some burglar or burglars had quietly opened the door with a skeleton key and had abstracted from the showcase all the clothes that had been made up for cus- tomers, and some belonging to the mem- bers of the firm, The proceeds of the robbery consisted of two business suits belonging to Thomas and a dress suit and_silk-lined overcoat, the property of his brother latthew, besides six pairs of | trousers which were ready to be dellv- ered to customers on Monday. In addition to this the bold burglars took a box of furnishing goods, valued at $20, belonging to & man who was going to Klondike, and this the firm will have to make good. The totai value of the goods stolen was about $250. The thieves showed their fastidious taste by stealing only silk-lined ga ments, and Grennan has not yet discov- ered whether they took any of the bol%s of _cloth. The police were notified, but up till a late hour last nl;a'm the burglars gad not —_———— Seriously Injured.

Wanted for the Killing of John Denny at Whitehall in Sep- tember, 1896. Spectal Dispatch to The Call. TACOMA, Feb. 6.—Two weeks ago Sheriff Millett of Skagit County jailed a petty larcenist at Mount Vernon. When he came to write down the fellow’s de- scription.he was struck by his resem- blance to Bert Beld, wanted in Jefferson County, Mont., for the murder of John Denny in September, 1896. Sheriff Millett learned from another prisoner In the jail that his suspect could talk Spanish. This was one of Beld’s accomplishment Beld was a sign-writer by trade, and the Sheriff trumped up an excuse and had his prisoner paint a sign for him. Then he wrote to the Sheriff of Jefferson Coun- ty, and after an exchange of several let- ters finally convinced that officer that he had the notorious missing murderer. The Montana Sheriff was loath to come so far, because his county had already spent $10,000 in hunting for Beld, and he had made several long but futile trips after him. At last he came, and was so sure that Sheriff Millett had the right man that he went to Olympia first for requisition pa- pers, and thence proceeded to Skagit County and secured his man. Beld is accused of one of the most cold- blooded murders in the history of Mon- tana. He and Denny were playing bil- liards in a saloon at Whitehall. Beld was quarrelsome and abusive, and finally made it so unpleasant for Denny that Denny refused to play longer and invited Beld to have a drink and call it square. Beld accepted, but soon became abusive again and wanted to fight. The bar- keeper at that point took a hand in the quarrel and put Beld out. A few minutes afterward Denny went out. As he stepped to the door Beld met him and, placing s revolver at his breast, fired. Denny staggered back with the cry “He shot me!"” The crowd ran outside and Beld, with a savage oath, ordered them as they loved their lives to get back. They did 80 and he escaped. AGED MAN ATTEMPTS TO KIDNAP TWO CHILDREN Carries the Youngsters Into a Woods, ‘but They Escape and Out- foot Him. PORTLAND, Or., Feb. 6.—The town of Kalama was thrown into a fever of ex- citement last night by the report that two children of Dr. J. C. Darnell had been kidnaped. Sheriff Kirby and a posse of men began an immediate search for the culprit, but have up to the pres- | ent hour failed to run him down. The children—a boy aged 9 and a girl aged 7—escaped with no greater injury than a bad scare. They were playing near their home in the suburbs of the town, when at about 5 o’clock in the aft- ernoon, so the children say, they were met by & man who asked them where they lived. On being told he suddenly picked them up, one under each arm, and Tan toward a grove not far away. At first the children thought the man was playing with them, and made no resist- ance. On entering the woods they be- fame frightened and began to scream. They were promptly silenced, however, by having their heads bumped together. When about three-quarters of a mile from town the man lost a shoe in the mud, and, while putting it on again, the children made their escape. The man chased them for about forty rods, but, being an old man and badly exhausted from carrying the children so far, was easily distanced by the fleet-footed and terrified children. They described the man as being tall, slender and old, with Jong hair and about two weeks' growth of beard, ragged and dirty, the toes of his shoes worn out, exposing the absence of the big toe on the right foot. S The motive for the kidnaping is not clear. Some think the kidnaper's object was to hold the children for ransom; others say the man must be demented. ——e——————— SAVANNAH’S EPIDEMIC OF CONFL~GRATIONS. Numerous Costly Blazes Lead to the Belief that a Firebug is at ‘Work. SAVANNAH, Ga., Feb. 6.—Savannah's epidemic of fire continues. To-night dam- age to the extent of $125,000 was caused by the conflagration which started in a hay warehouse on the wharf at the foot of Jefferson street. The fire started in the hay in the warehouse and had burst into a large conflagration by the time the alarm was turned in. The fire com- municated to several brick buildings on treet and three of them were en- gutted. The heaviest loss was sustained by Charles Conklin & Co., who carried a $100,000 stock of hardware, with an insurance of $75,000. There have been a dozen fires here within the last two weeks, and there is considerable talk of firebugs. —_—————— BOLDLY CHALLENGES THE ORTHODOX CHURCHES. Mormonism ThrowsDown the Gaunt- let in a Gathering at Brooklyn. NEW YORK, Feb. 6.—The Herald will say to-morrow: Mormonism has chal- lenged the orthodoxy of thedayandcalled it heterodoxy. This was the gage to the old Christian churches thrown down on Sunday by Congressman King of Utah, at the conference of the Mormons of the Eastern mission in Brooklyn. Much ex- planation of resuits of Eastern missions was made.during the two sessions, but through all of them ran the spirit of conquest. There were no apologles for the Mor- monism of the past. On the contrary, the spirit was one of aggressive champion- ship of the Mormon theology. Represent- ative King of Utah, who supported in the House of Representatives on Saturday the request for more money for fortifica- tions, appeared as a missionary. He fer- vently declared that he knew the mis- sion had been given to the Mormon lead- ers to prepare the way for the coming of Christ and the Kingdom of God. ““Mormonism is a challenge which meets you on the roadway of life and compels you to give the watchword of ou to say od or not. true Christianity. It compels whether you are really with It challenges the o ‘““Mormonism has come to make whole world one nation, one the eople and one faith. It has not come to destroy. It has come to unite and to show God's will as it really exists.” Characteristic Mormon hymns were sung_during the services by members of the Tabernacle choir of Salt Lake City. Apostle Lyman, who has come from the Mormon Capital to preach to the Eastern people, made an address in the evening. —————— EVIDENCE OF MURDER ON A RIVER:S BANK. Blood-Stained Clothing and Docu- ments of John Schiess Found Near Colfax. COLFAX, Wash., Feb. 6.—Evidence dis- covered to-day by E. K. Lloyd bears wit- ness to the fact that John Schiess was murdered in the Valley of the Palouse months, perhaps years, ago. Who or what he was is not known. In the mud of the river bank about a mile west of here Lloyd to-day discov- ered a pile of clothing. They proved to be a white shirt and an undershirt rolled together. In the white shirt were five sharply cut holes, as if made by a sti- letto. Blood surrounded each, and about the neck of the shirt were large blood stains. The garments appeared as if they had long lain in the river. They were filled with mud. Rolled in them was a diary and a pocket-hook, the latter con- taining two drafts issued by the Banco de Occident of Mexico, on the Anglo-Cali- fornian Bank of San Francisco,payable to John Scheiss, each for $60, dated May 2, 1892. They were in Spanish. A deed or contract, also in Spanish, signed by Juan M. Rubin, and containing the name of John_Schiess, and a certified copy from the Clerk of Multnomah County, Or., of Schiess’' declaration of fntention were found in the book. It was dated Septem- ber 14, 1892. No one here can read the Spanish docu- ments. The Sheriff has taken charge of the papers and garments. — e MAJOR HESS IS SATISFIED. His Battery Transferred to Lime Point, Which Gives Him a Separate Command. By the transferring of Battery L from Angel Island yesterday to Lime Point Major Hess finds himself in the position of having a separate command, or in oth- er war terms, a post of his own, and n consequence will not be troubled by the movements of other batteries. It has been his desire for many months to accomplish this point and he is now satisfled with the arrangement. Battery I, under command of Captain H. C. Danes and Lieutenant C. N. Foster, fills the vacancy left by the removal of Battery L. The delay of the U. S. 8. Alert in get- ting to the Nicaragua canal, where the surveys are to be made in the near fu- ture, has been accounted for. The ship arrived at Acapulco 9 days from this port, including stops at Pacific Grove and San Diego, but on account of the sickness of the executive officer, Luclen Young, it is not probable that the war vessel will leave Acapulco for her destination for many days to come. The sickness of the officer is :nxposed to be serious, but the many friends and acquaintances of the jal officer are hoping that g:‘v;a been overdrawn. £ the.renorts ———— To Cure a Cold In One Day Take Laxative Bromo Quinine Tablets.

She Intended to Surprise Him, but it Was & Very Expensive ‘Whim. Oakland Office San Francisco Call. 908 Broadway, Feb. 6. Mrs. O. Knox of San Lorenzo, who went north on the ill-fated steamer Co- rona, is now lamenting that she did not follow her husband’s advice and stay at home. As a result of her fail- ure to accept Mr. Knox’s opinion, she has lost very heavily. At the time of the wreck Mrs. Knox's story of the passengers’ hardships on the island was told, but advices just received from Alaska show that if a woman had taken a man’s advice it would have been better all round. Some time ago Knox, who lived at San Lorenzo, went to the Yukon and built two houses. They are rough af- fairs, but he lives in one and rents the other for $75 a month. He was doing very well, and about a month ago he wrote of his prospects to his wife, and particularly emphasized the fact that it was no place for a woman. He made a special point of impressing this fact on his wife, and telling her, under no consideration, to dream of going north. Mrs. Knox's curiosity was aroused, and she suddenly determined to give her husband a surprise party. She was anxious to see that country which is so inauspicious for women, and decided that she could risk it anyhow. She got together a valuable lot of material and left for Alaska on the steamer Corona. Everything was lost, and now Mrs. Knox repents. She still intends to press onward, however, and be the chief guest at that surprisé party. Mrs. Knox’s sister, a Miss Stone, was the first woman to cross the Chilkoot. She made the trip many months ago, wearing bloomers, and sends word that she is now employed as a cook and re- ceiving $15 a day for her services. WILL SOON BE AFLOAT. The Schoolship Mohican Will Come Down To-Day. The United States training-ship Mo- hican, Commander George M. Book, will come down from Mare Island to-day bound away on her eight months’ cruise in the South Pacific. She will lie at anchor in this harbor for about a month, or until she fills up the vacancies in her crew of apprentice boys. The young tars will be enlisted by Lieutenant George M. Stoney, U. S. N., at the Naval Rendez- vous, 10 California street, and sent aboard the vessel, where they will be outfitted and initiated into Uncle Sam'’s big sailor family of blue-shirted nephews. The Mo- hican will stop at Honolulu, when the boys will catch their first sight of the islands they are to visit. A run will be given them ashore, after which the ship will sail southward to the Soclety, Friend- | ly and other groups of sea-encircied coral lands. They will continue down the Pa- cific till Samoa Is reached, where they will remain for some month: e s Handball Sports Yesterday. The attendance at the San Francisco courts yesterday was good and the play was up to the usual standard.

O Clear ® Partly Cloudy @& Cloudy ® Rtn® Snow| A > b AT] D A O s o EXPLANATION. The arrow flies with the wind. The top fig- ures at station Indicate maximum temperature for the days; those underneath it, if any, the amount of rainfall, of melted snow in inches and hundredths during the past twelve hours. Isobars, or solid lines, connect points of equal air pressure; {sotherms, or dotted lines, equal temperature. The word “high” means high barometric pressure and is usually accompanied by fair weather; “low’” refers to low pres- sure and Is usually preceded and accompanied Dby cloudy weather and rains. “Lows” usually first appear on the Washington coast. When the pressure is high {n the interfor and low along the coast, and the isobars extend north and south along the coast, rain is probable; but when the “low'* Is inclosed with isobars of marked curvature, rain south of Oregon is im- robable. With a ‘“high” in the vicinity of daho, and the pressure falllng to the Cali- fornia coast, warmer weather may be expected in summer and colder weather in winter. The reverse of these conditions will produce an opposite result. WEATHER REPORT. (120th Meridian—Pacific Time.) SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 6, 5 p. m.
