Under the new treaties Americans and Eu- ropeans are npw under Japanese jurisdiction. Before Europeans and Americans would sub- gcribe to this treaty new codes of laws had to be adopted by Japan. It is now in Japan as difficult to obtain a_divorce as in many of our Western States. This is an important fact in_missionary work. Soclal conditions in Japan are such that a minister does not enjoy that free access to the people we have at home. Then the Bishop discussed the self-sac- rificing work of the missionary women in Japan. He told how at first their hard- improved and they are now fairly com- fortable. at which hour the conference on the work of colored people adjourned.

He sald that except for one cause there should be no di- vorce, but I take the ground that if our Lord were here to-day he would take a higher ground and one for which the unity of mar- rlage and for which the people would stand here to-day.” DR. FOLEY DECLARES HIMSELY. The Rev. Dr. Foley of Central Pennsylvania, the last speaker before adjournment, said: “Mr. Chairman, I have taken the floor to declare myself upon this gquestion a convert since I came to San Francisco. When I came here 1 was asking myself and others the ques- tion ‘whether we should take an extreme posi- tion upon this subject. One of the reasons for my conversion is that in conversation with dis- tinguished laymen of this convention I have come to the conclusion that the great majority of the laymen propose to vote in favor of this fourth section as sent down to us by the House | of Bishope, and 1 cannot think that there will be any greater misfortune than for the lay- men of this convention to propose a remedy for thie social evil than for the clergy and this convention not to give their assent to this canon. It is alwavs, it seems to me, expedient, and we are at all times at liberty to go to an extreme for the sake of expediency. The third ground for my change of attitude is that the situation is absolutely so scandalous that we must do something to influence public opinion.” The committee of the whole then reported progress to the House of Deputies and an ad- journment was taken until 3 p. m. DEBATE CONTINUES AFTER NOON RECESS Rev. Dr. Huntington of New York Delivers a Stirring Speech in Defense of Innocence. Despite the heat, the House of Deputies was crowded with visitors in the afternoon. The galleries were filled to their utmost capacity by the wives and daughters of the clerics and lay- x looked cool in their vari- sts. There was a constant flutter of fans that made the scene an animated one. 5 When President Lindsay called the deputiss to order there was not a vacant seat in the sacred edifice. MESSAGE FROM BISHOPS. A message from the House of Bishops was announced and Secretary Hart entered and handed the nominations for Bishops to the new Qioceses created, as follows: To the missionary district of Hankow, Rev. James Addison In- galls, a presbyter of the missionary district of Shanghal; to the missionary district of the Philippine Islands, Rev. Charles H. Brent, presbyter of the diocese of Massachusetts; to the missionary district of Olympla, Rev. Fred- erick William Cator, p byter of the diocese of Iowa; to the missionary district of Porto Rico, Rev. William Cabel Brown, D.D., presbyter of the church in Brazil: to the missionary di of North Dakota, Rev. Charfes Campbell Ple; D.D., presbyter of Washington. A message was received from the House of Bishops notifying that it had concurred in and adopted proposed article 11 of the constitution; and that it had disagreed to the ratification of the proposed article V and the second part of the oposed article X Tpon motion of Deputy Lewls of Pennsylva- nia the House of Deputies resolved itself into a committee of the whole to further consider the | canon on the solemnization of marriage and divorce adopted by the House of Bishops.

DR. PARKS OPENS DISCUSSION. Rev. Dr. Parks of New York was the first speaker to be recognized. In part he said: *T think it extremely important that the con- yention should know what they are doing, They agree with me. They are in danger of | being befogged by certain statements being | made on this platform. What we are engagef | in is an endeavor to raise the standard of mo- | rality by setting up a better standard of mar- | riage. 2 | *You cannot convince the public of Amerita that there are not certain people who should not marry after divorce. You may yourselves believe this—that is your privilege, but the great body of America will never believe that by the law of Christ they cannot remarry after divorce. That being the case, is your legislation expedient? It will be expedient it you can command the Christian consclence of those in America—not public opinion, I care little about that, but Christian consclence—and 1 tell you nay. “‘Now, there are two sorts of conscience in the world as I understand it—both very valu- able, both very different. One is the conscience refined and scrupulous and devout. The con- | science that ultimately leavens the world and | sets the standard of morals. Will that con- | science agree with you, will it support you if yeu are rigorous? I tell you nay. All men know the life of the soul. Knowing this, as men and women grow older they grow more rigorous toward self and more infinitely com- passionate toward others, This is the question of all questions in the world. I am told that there are numbers of gentlemen who know all about this question. | This one thing is certain. That of all the mat- ters that can come up before the convention this is one that touches the human heart. Here comes pathos, here comes misery, here comes pity, here comes compassion.” Deputy Charles Andrews of Western New York next claimed the attention of the house. He sald: “For me it is sufficient that the unbroken practice of this church from the commence- ment has permitted remarriage to the innocent party to a divorce on the ground ef adultery, and that by the common consent of all civ- ilized legislatures and rulers it has been al- lowed. It comes, in my judsment, to the | uestion of the éxpediency of this proposed { legislation. In my judgment the statistics of | divorce ‘which have ‘been quoted here are not pertinent to the discussion until it has been shown that large number of the divorces granted in this country have been granted on | the ground of adultery. 1 beiieve that nine- | tenths of the divorces in the United States pro- | ceed upon grounds not scriptural othef than | adultery. This is a question of expediency. I admit that great principle of law which su. bordinates the Interests of the few and permi restraint to some extent upon personal libert: in the interest of matrimony. This is the firs | attempted legislation which I have ever known | which undertakes to subordinate the rights and | interests of the many for the reason that they may be opposed by the few. Are we to permit that legislation which denies to the innocent party entitled to a divorce un the ground of | adultery? Are we to deny to this large class of people who admit a scriptural right to | remarry simply to prevent abuses which now | and then take place by the perversion of the judgments of the courts? In my judgment | we are not so justified and no question of | expediency can’ authorize an ecclesiastical | council to interpose an obktacle to the ad- ministration of matrimony by the ministers of | our church upon such grounds.” | Rev. Dr. Thomas of South Carolina followed and told the convention that he was the proud descendant of the first missionary sent out to convert the Indians in his State. In part he sald: ““There is one point involved, and that is whether the principle of this church shall be the indissolubility of the marriage relation. We eome here not to legislate; that is for the State—for the civil government. We come here to say what shall be the policy of the church. We come here to learn whether the policy of the church is to preserve the purity of woman. It is for us to say whether the white banner of the church shall be unfurled in the cause of purity or whether it shall be deflled with the sophistries of the age.”” OPFOSES PROPOSED CANON. Deputy “George H. Williams of Oregon op- CANON OF BISH’OPs TO DISCIPLINE DIVORCED PERSONS WHO REMARRY ORNING and afterncon sessions were taken up yesterday by the House of Bishops in discussing the important subject of disciplining the members of the Episcopal faith who, | having been divorced, again marry. : The House of Bishops passed a canon this week in which the solemnization of marriage was defined and positively forbidding the remarriage of divorced persons. This canon on ma: riage and divorce is now under debate by the House of Deputifs, sitting as a committee of the The House of Bishops adopted a canon yesterday on discipline for divorced person marry, which the House of Deputies wwill be called upon to concur in. is as follows: | “No person divorced for causes arising after marriage and marrying again during the lifetime of the other party to the divorce, nor any. person marrying a person so divorced, shall be admitted to baptisn or confirmation or permitted to receive the holy communion until the writicn given. j; “Provided, that this prohibition shall not apply to the ¢ase of the innocent party to a divorce || for the cause of wdultery; and provided, also, that the sacrament shall in no case be refused to a penitent person in imminent danger of death.” s who re _— % posed the proposed canon, directing his bat- teries principally against the fourth section. ““The question before us,” he said, ‘‘ls not whether the laws of the State are right or wrong, but the precise question we have to consider and decide s what is the best course for the church to pursue with reference to persons after they have been divorced? Is it Detter. for the church to proscribe and prose- cute and drive away such persons, or is it bet- ter for the church to extend to them the hand of friendship, to treat them with consideration and kindness and try to make better_men and women of them? I am aware that there are great abuses under the existing divorce laws of the country, but those abuses are arguments to be addressed to the law-making power of the country. They have nothing to do with the question before this convention. “T have had considerable to do with the ad- ministration of the law for more than fifty years as Judge and practitioner, and the resuit of my experience is that in a great majority of cases applications for divorce are made by women who seek to be released from worthless, drunken and criminal husbands, who have been left abandoned, sometimes with children on their hands, and generally in poverty. I ask any man in this convention if he can give any good, sound, practical reason' why a woman who {s divorced under such circum- stances if she finds a man who is willing to marry her, who will make her a good husband and her children a good father and will pro- vide support and comfort for her and them, why she should not have a right to marry that man and why an Episcopal clergyman should not have the right to perform the ceremony. This legislation on our part will have no more effect in dsterring people from getting divorce than the Pope's bull had against the comet. ‘When people seek divorce they do not stop to consider whether they will be recognized by the Episcopal church. They know very well that if the Episcopal church will not recog- nize them all the other churches of the coun- try. will. Therefore it is trying to do some- thing that is impracticable. 1t is ‘straining at a gnat and swallowing a camel.” " DISCUSSES PARAMOUNT POINTS. Rev. Dr. Bassett of Rhode Island followed and said in part: “In this discussion there are two great prin- ciples that underlle everything that has been sald or perhaps.can be said on this subject. There is underneath everything the paramount question, 'What can we do when we look abroad and see the dissolution that comes to our homes—what can we do for our homes?’ “It is not the question or criticism on what we are to decide this matter. It is the ques- tion of the great principle that our Savior, Christ, put into the world when he spoke to the people of Judea. I ask what is the inter- pretation_that Christians have placed upon his words? They have said in defense of the sanc- tity of the home that no divorce shall be allow- ed the man at his own whim and pleasure, but should only be allowed by a decree of the court. ““We should say to the person guilty of adul- tery: ‘We will punish you, and to the person who Is innocent, the church has no censure to place upon vou.' We will reward such con- duct when a falthful son or daughter of the church comes for its sanction, to tell them that the blessing of God rests upon them. Such it seems to me is the law of God and the law of man. i g DEFINES THE Rev, Dr. Benton of Kentucky followed and argued on’the indissolubility of marriage. He quoted sections of the Bible to strengthen his argument. In part he said: ““We have been told that this proposed ac- tion sent down from the House of Bishops is revolutionary. That it is contrary to the uni- form practice of 100 years. “If we take pity upon the wife who is the wife of a drunkard who turns his home into a hell, shall we not have pity upon the wife whose husband has been unfaithful to his mar- vows? If pity is to rule must we not v people who are divorced for any cause? “I submit, eir, that the scriptures remain and they, in’their fullness, declare the indissol- ubility of marriage and that no one can re- man And now we come to our own legis- lation. We take up our Book of Common Prayer, and does it not declare the doctrine of the church? Doeg that not declare that after the marriage vows are taken, that that engage- ment is for life? DR. HUNTINGTON’S ARGUMENT. Rev, Dr. Huntington of New York, having AND SPEECHES IN HON OR OF J. asked and obtained permission to withdraw his assent to the amendment that was proposed to hig_motion, addressed the house as follows: “In our zeal for sanctity let us not forger sanity. I desire to do these things: First, to say a word for the ‘innocent parties’; secondly, to call attention to divers prayer book falla- cles that have been heard in this debate. “First, with regard to_the innocent party. 1 once Heard an eminent divine of this church, Who has been active in this discussion, and who, but for my knowledge of his tender heart, I should have charged with cruelty for say- ing it, speak of the ‘so-called innocent party’ in this discussion. It reminded me, I confes: of the famous expression used by ‘a preach in his ‘dlatribe against modern science, when he spoke of this ‘so-called nineteenth century. (Laughter.) ‘There are innocent persoms, sir, in every criminal case “involving other interests than those of. the one, and I marvel that in this debate, where the lights of the law have given "us of thelr wigdom, that it has not occurred to any one of them to quote the maxim, ‘It is better that ten guiltysmen should escape thai that one {nnocent man should suffer.’ “For the legal ‘aspect of this question I am well content to rest with what has already been said by those ‘more competent to speak than I. I am glad to have heard the words of an ex-Attorney General of the United States; I am glad to have heard the words of a Judge of the Court of Appeals of the great State of New York. It is not for me to attempt com- mentary upon what they have to tell us. They have sided with the innocent party. I do not yield for one moment to my eloguent and dear friend, the rector of St. Bartholomew's, New York, 'in zeal for the' purity of the family and the sanetity of the home. But, sir, I put as high as any of these considerations’ justice to | the_innocent. “Now, sir, for the prayer book fallacies. They are two. I may not have time to bring them out clearly, but I will do my best. The first is with reference to that sentence in the office of matrimony, ‘Those whom God hath joined together: let no man put asunder.’ ““We have had that referred to here as if this were the church shaking its fist in the face of the civil power and defying it to do its worst. Who has not listenéd in_ the congregation when holy. matrimony was being _solemnized and heard those words read in precisely that spirit? I can show in a word or two that that is an | utter misconception of their purpose. They are not addressed to the public at large; they are not addressed to the congregations there present; still less are they addressed to God's institute, the state. They are addressed to the parties concerned, “‘Some yvears ago I received a letter from an eminent Presbyterian divine of liturgical ten- dencies who thought that he could improve on the office of holy matrimony in the prayer book, and, knowing that I had taken an inter- est ‘n such subjects. and being a personal friend, he sent me a draft of his proposed ser- vice for matrimony and wanted to know what I thought of it; znd one of the improvements which he considered especially valuable was that he had transferred these words ‘Those whom God hath joined together let no man put asunder,’ from the place which they ordinarily occupy in the office of the prayer book to the place between the announcement to the congregation and the blessing. That is where it belongs, he said. Not at all; not at all. It is spoken to the parties, as you will ses by examining the rubric, ‘And after that has been sald then shall the minister speak unto the company.’ “This is not a liturgical reflnement, and T can justify it by an appeal to history. The last speaker, or the last but one, called our attention to the fact that in the days when our Lord was on the earth there were no courts of divorce. Well, then was Christ de- fying the state? No; he was saying something that the man who married the woman needed to keep in mind, and which he alone was con- cerned to keep in mind. To him, he says, therefore. “What God hath joined together let no man,’ (let not you) ‘put asunder.’ There can be no other exegesis; it is pure fact. ‘I should like to use the few minutes remain- ing to me, if few minutes there be remain- ing, in disputing this assumption of the posi- tion of the Christian state as if it were some- thing alien from the church of God. No man who takes that view of the matter has studied his Bible or his prayer book, and especially I say his prayer book, for in that book the institution of human society and of civil gov- ernment is recognized just as distinctly, just | as clearly, I am almost prepared to say more distinctly and more clearly than the institu- PIERPONT - AND NEED : ERKELEY, Oct. 11.—Bishop Henry C. Potter, the distin- guished Episcopalian prelate of New York, spoke to the students of the University of California this morning in i Harmon gymnasium. His ad- dress was principally confined to an ex- pression of his views on suffrage as ex- ercised by the various classes of people, the danger to the republic through a cor- ruptible ballot and California’s obiiga- tions to the Far Bast. Every seat in the gymnasium was occupied and standing space was crowded. The students, almost to a man, were present with hundreds of people from this and other cities. ROOTERS CHEER THE BISHOP When President Wheeler and Bishop Potter ascended the platform they were lustily “cheered by the college rooters. Bishop Potter gave a start and a smile of amused interest crept over his fase when the prolonged cry which ends the Cali- fornia ““Oskie wow" vell was given with sudden ~ vehemence. President Wheeler presided at the meeting and, introducing the speaker, said: We have with us to-day the man of all men I want to address you. I am going to intro- | duce to you a man that stands as a leader in | the church he represents. He stands for every- thing that is noble in American life. He is a friend of the student and a believer in aca- demic standards. He is here to-day and I am glad of it. Bishop Potter then addressed the gath- ering. In part said: The East holds a certain feeling of conde- scension for the West, on the supposition, I understand,- that all intellectual iife proceeds from the East. In one sense I believe still that the wise men come from the East. You have tion of the Christian church. Read the prayer | for the church militant; nay, read all the | prayers that bear upon the subject and bear me witness that it is the testimony of the Church of England that the stafe is sacred, even as the church.” WITHDRAWS HIS AMENDMENT. Delegate Battles of North Carolina withdrew | his amendment, saying that one objection to | the caron as it existed heretofore was in the proof that the minis should require when he is asked to remar a person who has been married before. When it had been put upon record according to the laws of the United States, the record of each State was conelusive evidence in every other State. The only ques- tion in' such case would be were the parties before the cou by preper proceeding to get them in court Hence he thought that diffi- | culty had been done away with by the amend- | ment, although perhaps not as clearly as it would have been by the adoption of his sub- stitute, Rev. Dr. Davenport followed and discussed the proposed canon under ‘consideration, REV. DR. NEVIN OF ROME. Rev. Dr. Nevin of Rome said he sympathized with what he. understood to be the object of the proposed legislation, which was to pro- tect the purity of the family and the sanctity | of marriage. Continuing, he said: “But I have failed to see from anything that has been sald that that end will be reached by this proposed camon. I am very much afrald that it will work in the opposite | direction. This patchwork has come down to us, apparently “the result of a scare society. This proposed canon seems to be v bad medicine for the body social. “1 base this conclusion upon the result of my observations for thirty-five vears in Italy, where divorce is forbidden. The family life in Italy by this prohibition of divorce has been nothing bettered, “but has grown steadily » Adultery is ‘& greater sin than di- vorce: a greater evil in the social body than divorce, as the hidden cancer Is a greater evil than the open cancer. Adultery is practically legitimated in Italy, The woman freed from the fear of divorce:for adultery comes to look upon it not as a_sin to be punished by the {Jaw, but as a venial offense; and it is 100Ked upon by the ordinary confessor as such and practically treated as such. “The fraflty of human flesh! Whatever the evils of divorce may be here, I do not have the least hesitation In saying that thé family life in the United States of America Is in- finitely higher and infinitely purer than it is | in those countries in Europe where divorce { tor adultery has been forbilden. 1 deprecate this proposal, or the proposal of any lesisla- tion that can have the effect of lowering our standard on this side, and I ask the members of this house to make very sure before vot- ing cn this canon of shreds and patches that has come down to us from the other house as to whether it will do the least thing in re- ining or In regulating divorce: and second- Ty Whether it may mot be found Mstead to work simply as a canon for the promotion of adultery.” N.\ORG\AN.

I asked one of his children some time ago to he said that when he was at home he almost always read. She said: ““When he is entirely at Jeisure he read the old convention journals.”” What is it that be finds interést in the old convention jour- nals? 1 have reached the conclusion that he seeks them 2s a mode of repose. (Laughter.) 1 believe myself that is the explanation. He finds it a soothing atmosphere and one that does not greatly tax his intellectual resources. When 1 went to Grace Church last Sund and saw the collection, after the servi brought into the vestry room, one of the ~ wardens held up the considerable coln, a penny. He said: *“We don’t get that sort of coin here, only when you Eastern people come.” Well, gentlemen, that i§ the situation to which we have been introduced by the en- ergy and aggressiveness of the West. It has been suggested that Mr. Morgan might decide to stay in San Francisco for the rest of his life instead of living in New York.

Benjamin Ide Wheeler, president of the | University of California, was then called He said: Host and Gentlemén: can C upon. Mr. I am very proud that 1 tand up here this evening to speak for California. I speak of it as if I had made it. I speak of it with all the pride and all the enthusiasm of a new convert. We are glad to weicome these guests among us. 1 suppose, first of all, because we are 5o few that we often get tired of each other, and tired of each others stories and each other's speeches, and we are glad to hear somebody e talk. We are glad to welcome them among us for what they represent. x We are out here in the Far West in one sense far away from th centers of historic ord and we welcome here a body that rep- resents a standing order, that order in life, that reverence for things that were and for life that is historically constituted out of which can spring the highest effectiveness—freedom— and freedom that is anchored in respect for the established order is the freedom that glves life effectiveness. We have had enough of disorder to disre- spect all forms of lawleseness. We have had enough of disorder to welcome whatever repre- sents the solid historic order of our social ex- istence. Out of respect for life as historically consti- tuted grows tnat orderliness of life which makes life economical, which makes life pro- ceed w out waste, which gives life its ef- fectiveness, its charm, the love of life, oppor- tunity and fulfiliment and makes life worth living. We welcome these guests here to us because they represent a standing order. Californla can well afford to take into itself a larger respect for things that have stood among men and have stood the test of time, the test of experience. We can very well afford to in- fuse into our life a larger reverence, a finer obedience toward things that are permanent, firm and noble. That respect which California has shown in very bigh degree for education augurs well for a return to solid foundations for respect for order. It is out of schools and universities that will come that sense of obedience which will make anarchy impossible and which will make respect for order the very foundation of life. (Apvlause.) and universities can teach, the first thing they must teach, is respect for order. Chiidren who have been taught to obey have been made fit to live ms members of the social system. There has been a great deal of talk about devices for the cor- rection of anarchy in these past days The best thing our schools | and violence has been suggested of every sort, violent legislation and violent ac- tion, but after z1l when we come down to the | right all anarchy can be annulled only when the sense of obedience toward the standing so- | clal order is inculcated in the children who Brow up to make the next generation. The | source of authority, the source of loyalty to | the existing order will be found always in fami- lies, and it is the family system that we must stand loyally by. If we go at the right of the matter we shall go into schools and we shall stablish in schools education, not in the know- ing of things, but in obedience to the author- ityfthat inheres in the standing order, the standing order of the family, the standing or- | der of Christian soclety. ~We shall inspire their reverence for things that are fine and noble, things that are high and holy and of guod repute. You cannot separate from inspfration religion. ©0 process that has been found yet can wring out as water is wrung out of a cloth reverence 2nd faith and belief in things noble. Our pub- lic schools may well avoid subservience to a cultivation of things sectarian, things ecclesi- astical, but we have got to have in our public schouls and in our universities as teachers men | who revere things noble, men wno nave faith in things high, men who have faith in things be- hind the véil, and we in Caiifornia rejoice to have among us a body of men who stand for the larger reverence which makes life solid and | Eives us an anchorage before the sunrise and | behind the sunset. We are proud of California, | we are glad to have you here in order that you may see it, see its abundance, see its opportu- nities. We think we know what its opportunity is. We are just waking up to know the full- ness of it. We have always talked about things in the East as things “back East.”” and vet we have not half lived up to our phrase ‘‘back East.”” It is only in recent days that we have really come to believe what Bishop Potter sald to- day at Berkeley, that San Francisco is the front door of the continent. We need men who can lead and bring men together. This land of California is all right i it can bring out men who can join their hands together and men who can lead them and who can help. For after all it is not climate nor geo- graphy that makes a nation; it is the power of joining men together. Yes, it is righteous- ness that exalteth a nation and makes a peo- le. "“ EDUCATION IS THRIVING. President Jordan of Stanford University said in part: Mr. Host and Gentlemen: I am cast to-night in a very modest though a very pleasing. role, which is my duty to express to our guests some points or some pointers that may perhaps help them in their future rejations with California. I am inclined to think that they are possessed of strictly erroneous ideas in regard to the climate of California. As a friend of mine suggested, it is just as well for men to get away from the idea that every table in California is set in just the way this one is to-night. Our guests will find when they stay in this city a short time that it_is made up of hospitality and climate. ‘The measure of higher education to the square inch In California is higher than anywhere else in the world. You will find this State with a scanty population of a million and a_quarter of people with 5000 college students to-day. The old ideal of the English universities has been that of culture, to make individual, cul- | tured men, to raise men out of a class of com- mon men. It is a high ideal. The universities of Germany find this a secondary matter, but they have an interest in other things. But there is still another ideal which I think is higher than any other, and that is the ideal of effectiveness. BARNES IS ELOQUENT. General Barnes hit the keynote last night and he held his listeners with his customary eloquence. He said: Nothing is more delightful as the years grow }upon man than to study the history and watch the career of those we knew when he and | they were boys, when the shadows of life, its struggles, its anxieties, its successes and its failures have overshadowed them. I have th2 advantage, I think, of every one of the gen- tlemen sitting about this table, because I knew the distinguished guest of the evening when he was a_boy. Mr. Morgan was a qulet, refined, delicately sensitive young man, and he began life wher: his great father left off. Taught in his school, mspired by his example, his father lived to sce him & crown in the occupation of his choice, a power for good wherever he went, useful' not merely in the higher walks of finance, not merely the strengthener of the national credit and the upholder of the na- tional power, but dealing with everything from £reat questions of finance to the building of the Columbia that has kept the cup of the America still upon American soil. The history of this last century has been s wonderful one. The history of this century will be more wonderful still. The last century has | demonstrated that this nation is one and in- divisible. It has made forever an end of human slavery. 1t has developed the high energies of a great and prosperous people, and the problem of the coming century will be the development of that which is the highest and best charity, Wwhat is best for man to do for man so that Industrial excitement shall no longer exist, that commerce shall not be paralyzed by strikes, ships will not be tled to wharves and bands of marauders beat the shape of God's image out of those Who desire employment, The time Is at hand when these questions and that higher charity will find its development. In many respects the American people is the most charitable people the world has ever known. 1 remember not long since reading that the individual charities of the men of wealth in America, not counting sums less than 35000, for nine years ending the commencement of thig year, given for private charity, amount- ed to $300,000,000. If you add to that the benefi- cence of the Government toward the men who suffered and fought that this nation might be preserved it rises to the thousands of millions, runs up into the uncountable and unmeasure- able billions of valuation. In future all chari- ties must end, and if they end they must be repeated. If ‘our great friend here to-night were to take his fortune and divide it up among the people of the country, in a few months it would all be spent and the work all have to be done over agal CHARITY IS RELIANCE. 7 Then what is the great charity? The great charity for the coming century Is that which shall make it possible for a man to live, that shall make it possible for him to live, to sup- port his wife and educate his children without reliance upon anything else but God and him- self. That time is coming and we shall make it. We have 75,000,000 of people in this coun- try to-day. Before iong we shall have 100,000,000 to 125,000,000 They cannot all be manufacturcrs and the bulk of them must take up the land and live by the land and on the land. Crops are raised, but they are valueless unless they can be exchangpd for something which he who raises them can uge. He is the most charitable man for the com- ing century who shall build and manage for the people the great railWay enterprises of this continent, who shall build and manage the great industrial enterprises of the country, who shall take the article which man produces and bear it to other nations, taking back that which shall be of use and beauty and value and re- finement to him. And with such work will come the emancipation of labor, the dignity of man, the best life, the best education, the highest realization of the sweetest dreams of \humanity that shall march its column up and lay its burden down withdut fear in the face of the father of us who looks down to- night upon this gathering from his throne in heaven. The Bishop of South Carolina, after a happy speech, concluded with this bit of sentiment which won him hearty ap- plause: I want to assure you, gentlemen of Califor- nia, that there is in South Carolina a very sin- ceré and a very earnest and a very growing gentiment of love and reverence and respect for this great country of ours. It is my duty to say that 1 believe that the late President of the United States, honored be his memory, as glo- rlous was his character, has done more for the people of the South, more for my dear people in helping us to a sincere, self-respecting, con- scientlous respect for the stars and stripes and the Government that overcame us, the Govern- ment that persuaded us as he would have it, persuaded us by an affectionate assimilation in arms to be one—and I assure you, gentlemen, that there is in South Carolina to-day as faith- ful and as sincere and as loyal a purpose and determination to be true to this country as there was some years ago as faithful and loyal a determination 'to be faithful to the Southern Confederacy. VISIT A HAPPY OMEN. J. W. Byrne, the president of the Pa- cific Union Club said in response to a call from the toastmaster: It is a pleasure and a privilege to welcome under this rcof men of such high endeavors n.ns particularly to welcome here members of a Mrofession too seldom represented in an au- dience of this kind, and their presence reminds us of the fact that more than a century ago men also inspired by religious zeal saught this shore. They broke the silence in -which this land had been slumbering and they laid the foundation. We may then hope that this new race of men equally earnest and striving to- ‘wards the same ends may bring to that prog- ress a new birth and new impulse, and it is a happy omen for the fulfillment of that hope that the foremost man in America's industries finds the time and inclination to come here and share in the consideration and solution of the moral and religious problems of our daily life. Gentlemen, we cannot fail to feel the better for your coming. The menu was as follows: MENU. Toke Polnts. Chicken a la Reinc Eroiled Pompano, Cucumbers.

ARRESTS SOCIALIST FOR DISTURBING THE PEACE Curbstone Orator Uses Improper Lan- guage and Is Taken Into . Custody. Sidney B. France, a socialistic agitator who holds forth on Grant avenue, near Market street, was arrested last night by Policeman Royston on the charge of dis- turbing the peace. France at the time was glving vent to improper language. He was also hurling abuse against the Police Department. France has been so obstrepuous in his talks that a number of his auditors have frequently rewarded him with a rather free contribution of stale eggs, inter- spersed with a few choice but juicy to- matoes. When taken into custody last night France threatened dire vengeance if he should ever again be disturbed in his diatribes. —_— 3 BERNARD WARD MUST GO TO THE PENITENTIARY Supreme Court Says Secretary of Ma- | rine Firemen’s Union Had a Fair Trial.

His attorneys have carried on a vigorous fight for him through all the courts.

The Supreme Court reviews the case thoroughly, but finds no worthy reason why the sentence should not be executed as ordered. e Mayor Phelan Sued. eph Castor filed suit yesterday in the Jastien's Court against James D.

When I was here two years ago my friend and present host,” Mr. Crocker, said, in an after dinner speech, that San Francisco was the front door of the American continent and New York the back door. Men comfort themselves with that thought who don’t live in the East. And it is true, it is certaintly true. Students are knocking at your door from the Philippines, China, Japan and all the Far East. But from | our Western land is to stream the great civil- | ization and commerce which is to join the old and the new. A university's great calling is | to bind together the civilization of the past with the present. It will be in the high sense of our stewardship in these regards that we shall _distinguish ourselves as scholars and translate to other nations the meaning of this great republic. EDUCATE MEN TO VOTE. I should like to leave with you to-day one *or two suggestions of a practical character which I hope will be incorporated in this uni- versity. The foundation of a republic is the purity and intelligence of the ballot. The great danger that threatens our country is the cor- ruptibility of the ballot and the fact that the voter is purchasable. I believe that the first } thing to do to change this state of affairs is to establish in every center of learning =2 course of direct training for the exercise of the right of suffrage. It should be so that when a young man has reached the age of 21 he might wear some external badge that should proclaim to the world that that man had been tested as to the rights of citizenship and had proven himself capable of holding such a trust. c No 'man will undertake to forecast the future of this great State and this great center of learning. The people are flocking to_your shores from the Far East, of which the Golden Gate is the threshold. May God give you wis- dom. courage and spirit-of brotherhood in which to deal with them. L e e I i s 2 e o e S S O Rev. Dr. and said: “I believe the marriage of the innocent party to a divorce for infidelity is as lawful in the sight of God and honorable in the sight of man as any other marriage. Holding that opinion, and holding it very strongly. I should prefer myself that the canon had been in a different form. I should have preferred that it was a declaratory canon. There is no uniform doctrine or discipline in the Catholic church. I hold that the solemnization of mar- riage s not essential. It is a privilege that Yyou claim, but it is not & right. I hold that the church may withhold it if it thinks there- by it will accomplish .a great deal of gdd. The church is justified in admonishing her ministers not to celebrate marriages in the case of divorced persons. One of my own special desires is to relieve the clersy of being judges in cases of this kind. How can a clergyman know {f a church in Utah is a court of competent jurisdiction?” Rev. Dr. Huntington interrupted at this mo- ment to say that if a clergyman was incom petent to answer such a question he was in- competent to be ordained. Dr. Fulton continued and said that when this burden was laid upon the clergy it was something that they could not bear. He sin- | cerely hoped that the canon under discussion | would not be adopted | Rev. Dr. Alsop next took the platform and said in part: | "It seems to me that those who have argued | in favor of this canon has proceeded upon the | assumpticn that is not quite fair. They have | assumed that they are the only omes who | care for the integrity of the family, the pur- | ity of the home and social rightecusness. There are those in this house who resent the idea. | There is not a clergyman or layman in the house who does not agree in these things and who would not lend his interest and power to further such ends.’” Deputy Lewis made a motion that the gom- mittee of the whole rise and ask leave b sit again. The reason he made the motion was that certain persons desired to speak and as he was entitled to close the debate It was too | close to adjournment to continue. His motion | was adopted. | President Lindsay called the House of Depu- ties to order and Chairman Packard of the committee of the whole formally reported that the committee had the subject of mar- riage and divorce under consideration and asked leave to sit again. Permission was granted. Upon motion of Deputy Lewis the committes of the whole will sit again on Monday at 10:30. An adjournment was then taken. Fulton of Pennsylvania followed f Head Consul Delayed. The visit of Head Consul W. A. North- cutt of the Modern Woodmen of the ‘World, which was to have been made to Goodfellowship Lodge last night, was postponed until next Monday on account of the failure of that officer and other head officers to reach this city. Soflm ittt R O MAUD MILLER ESSAYS PLAY BY HER FATHER “Heart of Sierras,” Written by Joa- quin Miller, to Have Its First Presentation. Maud Miller, daughter of Joaquin Mil- ler, the “Poet of the Sierras,” will ap- pear as a star for the first time in San Francisco at Shérman & Clay's Hall this evening. Miss Miller will be assisted by six players, including E. J. Holden in the character of “*49.” Bernhard Walther, the Belgian violinist, will render a number of | solos between acts. The performance is under. the auspices and for the benefit of the United Moderns. Miss Miller leaves on Monday for a long tour through the south. The play, “The Heart of the Sierras,” is a new adaptation of “49.” One char- acter has been bodily cut from the manu- script. This character was not originally created by the poet author, but was in- serted by an actor to whom Mr. Miller leased the play. The story is told in the entirety of its poetry and humor and is called “The Heart of the Sierras.” The play is the personal property of Maud Miller, and is a gift to her from her father. —_— NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. NIP IT IN THE BUD. ~ First Appearance of Dandruff a Fore- runnner of Future Baldness.’ That such is thie case has been conclu- sively proven by scientific research. Pro- fessor Unnd, the noted European skin specialist, declares that dandruff is the burrowed-up cuticles of the scalp, caused by parasites destroying the vitality in the hair bulb. The hair becomes lifeless and in time falls out. This can be prevented. Newbro’s Herpicide kills this dandruff germ and restores the hair to its natural softness and abundancy. Herpicide is now used by thousands of people—all satisfied that it is the most wonderful hair preparation on the mar- ket to-day. GRANDS MAGASINS DU LOUVRE The Largest and Finest of the World.
