MODERATOR DICKEY SPEAKS STP<{HE Rev. C. A. Dickey, D. D., mod- erator of the General A: ¥ the Presbyterfan Church, and who a tour of the United listened to with inter- est 1 y an audience that filled every 1 Metropolitan H. Even- ing services were not held in any of the local Presbyterian churches, in order that the members of the several congregations might have an opportunity of hearing Dr. Di , who is acknowledged to be one of the foremost speakers of the time on matters pertaining to that religious be- llef. He is an earnest lecturer, and from the moment of his introduction until he concluded his remarks he carried with him tk attention and interest of his listeners. The services last night, which were of the natire of a meeting, were opened with an invocation by the Rev. J. §. Thomas and a brief scripture lesson by Rev. W. K. Guthrie. After the sing- ing of an appropriate hymn by a selected choir, the Rev. E. H. Avery offered up a prayer and then introduced Dr. Dickey. It seems almost unnes . sald Dr. Avery, “to introduc for he is well known to you all by reputatien, if not personally. H an earnest ex- pounder of the doctrines of our faith and is engaged in a_crusade far holier than the crusade of Peter the Hermit. He is telling the people of this land that their gifts and prayers will go far toward de- termining the character of the new cen- tury we have just entered into. His of- fice is as high if not higher than that of any hishop in the world.” “1 hardly have breath left in me,” said Dr. Dickey, “to speak to such an audi- ence, for you have almost taken it away by your hearty welcome. 1 desire. how- ever, to express to you my profound gra itude, not alone for the expression of re- spect shown me, but also for the church I am for a brief time to represent. I also u wish to congratulate the Presbyterian could not better mark the new century Union to-day at 920 Sacramento street. president of the Risdon Iron and Locomo- tive Works. “Rumors that a general strike of ma- chinists was contemplated during the month of May,” said Captain Taylor. “have reached us. Just what form the Gemands will take I do not know. Some say that the 1st of May has been select- ed as the date, and others fix the 20th as the day. So far only rumors of an im | pending strike have reached us. “No official communication has come from any organized body of machinists, so what they may demand in the way of increased pay or shorter hours I eannot say. As to whether the movement will start in the East and spread to San Fran- cisco or start here and gather in every machine shop and manufacturing plant in the United States we are in doubt. fact, all I can say is that the rumors arc persistent, and the threatened demand is | a subject for very earnest consideration among the employers of this class of labor.” At labor headquarters but little was known regarding the strike inaugurated Saturday at the Union Iron Works. The men who went -out, it is said, recently formed a union which does not affiliaie with the Building Trades Council. It is a member, however, of the international federation. The machinists have a strong union in this city which meets on the first and third Wednesday of each monL The last meeting was held on March 20 ‘The action taken at that time has not yet been made public. But as the date fixed by Mr. Scott is just sixty days from-the date of the last meeting, it is not im- probable that the interim is to be utilized in preparing for the struggle that is to come. MRS. HAMMOND REMEMBERS ASSOCIATED CHARITIES | Gives Her Check for Three Hundred Dollars to Treasurer S. W. Levy. Mrs. John Hays Hammond yesterday | gave her check for $300 to 8. W. Levy, to { be used in the interest of the Associated Charities. The gift was totally unexpect- ed and filled the philanthropist. with a great joy. Mr. Levy and Mrs. Hammond were as- soclated in associated charity work many ears ago, and in recalling old times r. Levy mentioned the fact that for the first time since organizing the Associated Charities had been obliged to appeal to the public. “Iet me give you $200 for your pet char- ity,” said Mrs. Hammond, and while Mr. y was pouring out his thanks the lady stepped over to her desk and wrote out a check. “[ have changed my mind,"” said Mrs. Hammond, handing the old gentleman her check; “1 have made it out for $300 in- stead of $200. I think you can find use or it."” IO s Hammond's check ‘comes in most usefuily, for the exchequer of the Asso- clated Charities at present is at a very low ebb. —_—————————— Lenten Services for Business Men. The Brotherhood of St. Andrew has ar- ranged a series of Lenten services to be held in the Chamber of Commerce. These meetings will be held during the luncheon hour, from 12 to 1 o'clock, so that business men who are unable to attend church may have an opportunity to be present at re- ligious worship. The services will begin to-morrow and will be continued through the week. The following named will conduct the meet- ings: Rev. F. W. Clampett, Rev. G. E. Swan, Rev. L. C. Sanford, Rev. Herbert Parrish, Rev. E. J. Lion and Rev. W. F. Nichols. In| | whisky servea out in dance than by seeing their church out of debt. “Let us put the Presbyterian Church and Presbyterian eéducation to the front, said he, “and the first step in that direc- tion should be the freeing of the church from debt. When that is accomplished, if T had my way, I would build a fence so high around the church that renegades from other creeds. if not educated, could not climb over it.”” After speaking of the work accomplished by the home misslons, Dr. Dickey dweilt at considerable length upon the influence for good exerted by the foreign missions. “While we lost some of our missionaries in China,” said he, “we will never aban- don the work. We will go on with re-| newed vigor and have it understood that we will never ask for vengeance. We will answer the Chinese by sending more mis- sionaries to them. We forgive them for DICKEY, MODERATOR OF THE pastors of this city for the good work they have accomplished and performed for the church we all love.” Dr. Dickey then paid high tribute to California, saying that its snowclad mountains and fertile valleys reminded him more forcibly than anything he had ever seen before of “the kingdom of Jesus Christ.”” He next spoke of the celebration to be held in May, when object lessons will be given of the work accomplished by the Presbyterian Church. After brief- 1y touching on the matter of the church indebtedness, he sald that Presbyterians CONDUCTOR COWS MOB OF SOLDIERS Holds Them at Bay by Motion as if to Draw a Revolver, Many soldiers ran amuck on Barbary Coast last night, and a provost guard was required to assist the police in quelling riots. An attack was made upon the con- ductor of a Union-street car at.Stockton street, but the railway employe's daring held an angry mob of thirty fighters back until the arrival of policemen. Early in the evening several hundred soldiers left the Presidio, and before many hours many of them had consumed much halls afd dives. They created trouble, and a pro- vost guard was at once sent out to order every scldier in the city to report imme- diately at military headquarters. From one particular location a crowd of thirty disorderly men was started in the direc- tion of the Presidio. .Near the corner of Dupont street and Montgomery avenue they boarded a street car and refused to pay fare. Police were called and the ob- stinate passengers were ejected. As qulcklf' as the car started again the soldiers tollowed and succeeded in catch- ing it again near Stockton street. They forced the gripman to stop and then at- tempted to climb aboard the rear coach for the purpose of assaulting the con- ductor. When the latter saw them com- ing he placed his hand to his hip pocket and declared that he would shoot the first man who approached him. While he was unarmed and his game only a bluff, he kept the mob at bay until Policemen Bakulich and Wall arrived and with drawn clubs permitted the car to proceed on its way. BOY INJURED BY AN ELECTRIC CAR Peter Badaracco, Aged Eight Years, Probably Fatally Injured on’ Broadway. Peter Badaracco, aged eight years, liv- ing at 1108 Kearny street, was struck by an east-hound Broadway car last night and sustained a possible fracture of the skull. He was at once removed to the Harbor Hospital, where his Injury was temporarily treated. On account of the severe shock, it is doubtful if he will re- cover. The unfortunate boy attempted to cross the street in front of the car when he was struck. e motorman, whose name is H. L. Howard, was arrested shortly after the accident and charged with battery. He was immediately re- leased on ba —— . $25 to San Diego and Return. With privilege of stopover at Santa Barbara and Los Angeles. Tickets good 30 days.

C. A. OF PROGRESS MADE IN RELIGIOUS WORK. —4 b PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH, TALK what they have caused us to suffer be- cause they are blind to the truth and know no better.” Dr. Dickey in conclusion told of the steady growth of the byterian “hurch. *“‘One hundred years ago,” said he, “it had less than one hundred min- | isters; to-day it has 8000 preaching the | gospel of truth.” | The prayer of benediction was said by the Rev. James W, Woodworth, and the audience dispersed after singing “God | Bless Our Native Land.” | Dr. Dickey will address the Ministerlal | SOLDIERS LOSE NOBLE FRIEND Miss Isabel Cowan, Chi Nurse at General Hos- pital, Resigns. There is soon to be a resignation from the nursing staff at the General Hospital, Presidio, that will be little relished by the officers in charge, the patfents or the hos- | pital corps men. Miss Isabel Cowan, who, since August, 1899, *has served in the ca- pacity of chief nurse, has tendered her resignation and will leave for her home in Towa as soon as official notice of its ac- ceptance has been sent her by the chief nurse at Washington. Miss Cowan's services to the soldlers re- turning sick and wounded to the hospital from the Philippines have been invalu- able. Kind-hearted and gentle, her treat- ment of the men has endeared her to the many thousands that have been treated at the hospital. Her ability as, a nurse has been proven more than once and the admirable manner in which the force of thirty-six female nurges at the hospital has performed its duties is testimony of her executive ability. » Miss Cowan will leave the hospital pos- sessing the love and esteem of every one with whom she has had dealings, either as nurse or head of the staff of nurses in the largest military hospital in the Unit- ed States. The news of her intended de- parture was received with expressions of regret from every one connected with the immense institution, mingled with hearty wishes for success in the private life to which she is retiring. No one has vet been named for the po- sition made vacant by Miss Cowan’s re- signation. The duties of the position are of an arduous nature and the cholce of a nurse to fill the place cannot be made in a moment. The selection rests with the authorities in Washington.

ISKED T0 HANE | COMMISSIONER Business Men May Select New Member of the Harbor Board. Five Organizations Invited to Send Three Representatives Each to Recommend Major Har- ney’s Successor. A meeting of representatives of five or- ganizations of business men of this city, namely the San Francisco Board of Trade, the Chamber of Commerce, the Manufacturers' and Producers’ Associa- tion, the Produce Exchange and the Mer- chants' Association, will be held this aft- ernoon in the rooms of the Board of Trade. The ostensible business is to name a candldate for the position of Harbor Commissioner to succeed Major Harney, whose term has expired, and to recom- mend him to the Governor for appoint- The meeting has beeh kept very quiet, and although there has been some talk of it among the knowing ones for several days, the meeting is supposed to be a secret affair. There are two views entertained con- cerning it by those who have been in- vited to be present. One view is that the Governor has made a very shrewd move to have the business men recommend a candidate whom he desires to appoint, and at the same time to win the favor of the | business community of San Francisco by taking the man whom they name. The other view is that the idea arose sponta- neously in the Merchants' Assoclation, where it was first heard of by the busi- ness men, and that the Governor is still ignorant of what is going on and there- | fore has no agency in the meeting. Several gentlemen who have been asked | to represent the bodles to which they be- long, respectively, were seen yesterday, but all professed not to know that any candidate had Leen selected for them to indorse. The names of Wakefield Baker, Isaac Upham and J. B. Stetson have been mentioned as being acceptable to the busi- ness community. Baker has already de- clared that he is not a candidate. Stetson is the president of a railroad company and has favors to ask of the Harbor Com- mission. Possibly the choice of the meet- ing will not fall upon any of those named. The very fact that the meeting has been kept so quiet and that no one is openly ut forward for the indorsement is taken v some to indicate that some one has the name of the lucky man and will present it at the proper time, and that if the man named {s not objected to by the business men at the meeting he will be recom- mended to. the Governor. There have been two exécutive sessions of the directors of the Merchants’ Asso- clation at which the idea of recommending some one to the Governor came up. The directors have a practice of not saying anything to any outsider of what is goiug on In the privacy of executive sessions, but it 1s known that there has been some | opposition to the plan of holding a meet- ing for the purpose described. One di- rector said that even if a suitable candi- date should be brought into the field it ‘would be unwise for the association to be- come responsible in any degree for the actions of any one in a political position. At the second executive session of the di- rectors of the association it was voted to call the meeting. Accordingly, invitations | went out late last week to the organiza- | tions that have been named to send three | representatives each to the conference. | The delegations may or may not include the presidents of the respective bodles. That is optional. Several declinations to serve have been received, but it is sup- posed that all vacancies will be filled and that fifteen business men will be in at- tendance this afternoon. They may not recommend any man for the position of Harbor Commissioner. Some of the dele- gates are reported to favor asking the Governor to name a business man for the | osition, but leaving the selection of the | ndividual entirely to him. The opinion mended. AWAIT GOVERNOR'S ACTION ON NATIONAL GUARD BILL Young Men Enlisting to Enable Them to Go to the Military Camp. The members of the National Guard are | anxiously awaiting the action of Governor Gage in the matter of the amended Na- tional Guard law, wuich he received a few days before the adjournment of the Legislature. If he signs the hill it will, it is asserted, arouse a spirit of enthus- iasm in the rank and file, and do much to | make the guard the active body that the citizens expect it should be; but, if he pockets the bill, it .s more than likely that the feeling that now prevails will be main- | tained. At this particular time there is, as on all occasions when there is to be an en- campment of the guard, a little more ac- | tivity. A number of young men who have | leisure and want to be soldiers for a lit- | tle wnue, so as to go into camp for a week, are joining the companies, and | after the camp is over there will be a number of men discnarged from the ser- | vice of the State on account of removal. The division encampment that will be established on June 22 at Santa Cruz and continued for a week will be the largest gathering of the guard at any one point that has ever been known in the history of the armea force of the State. Twenty-eight men have been discharged from the Fifth Infantry—21 on account of removal, 4 at exniration of term of ser- vice and 3 for the good of the service. Corporal J. F. Johnson, Company I, Fifth Infantry, .as at his own request been reduced to the ranks as private. Private A. W. Gray has been appointed | corporal of Company A. Corporal B. A. Wallman of Company I has been pro- moted to sergeant., and Privates A. L. Young and R. P. Aylward of the same company have ueen appointed corporals. —_—e—— DISCOURSES ON THE TAKING AWAY OF SIN Rev. A. H. Briggs Delivers Benmm‘I to Young Men at ¥. M. C. A. Auditorium. The Rev. A. H. Briggs conducted the | services for young men yvesterday after- noon at the Young Men's Christian Asso- ciation auditorium. After the singing of several hymns by the Xnickerbocker | quartet, Dr. Briggs preached from the | text in a_verse of one of St. John's| epistles, *“We know that he was manifest- ed to take away our sins.” “Some people are averse to acknowl- edf]n that there is sin in the world,"” Safd"Br. Briggs, “but that it does exist is a cold- bars fact. The smart set of New York City was horrified when Dr. Huntington and Dr. Hamilton called its attention to the fact that sin in its worst form hovered 'n its midst. It worried the members of the smart set, but there was no gainsaying that the evils were there. whfie therefore we are agreed that there is sin, we have it on the authority of St. John ‘that the Savior was manifested to Wipe it out. It is a tremendous truth, but we should appreciate it, and if there 1s any way of gemng rid of sin it is well worth knowing. The Lord points out the way, and you have but to follow him to avold the pitfalls.” SEVENTH INFANTRY CAMPED AT PRESIDIO Companies From Idaho and Wash- ington Occupy Quarters in Model Camp. Companies M and C, Seventh Infantry, arrived at the Presidio yesterday morn- ing and went into camp in the lower por- tion of Model Camp. Company C is from Vancouver Barracks, Washingtoh, and Company M is from Camp Osborne, idaho. There are now four companies of the Sev- enth at the Presidio, under the command of Captain Wallace and _Lieutenants osenbaum, Bent, Otwell, Knox, Berry ost. Corporal W. E. Ford, Company E, For- ty-first Infantry, died yesterday at the general hospitai of dysentery. | | | ADVERTISEMENTS. FINE WHITE BLANKETS FIVE SPECIAL BARGAINS.
