Star special | A peculiar story of an alleged holdup evening lo the police at the Sev- enteenth-street station. A man giving the name of Harrington and his residence at Hyde street reported to the ofiice that 2d been held up on the Ingleside road 1g the afternoon and relieved of $00 in money and diamonds and other jewelry valued at $1500. When the report was made, detectives | were detailed on’the case, and later they arrested a suspect, whose name was placed on the detinue book. r.

Influence of the Election on the Next State Campaign. Mayor-elect Eugene E. Echmitz has gone to the country for rest and quiet perusal of the new charter. Before leav- ing the city he spoke of the management of school depaitment affairs and clearly gave the Impression that Mrs. Kincaid would not be reappointed to the Board of Education and that her successor would be a man. This statement is taken Lo mean that the Mayor-elect is in favor of excluding women “from direct manage- ment of school affairs. It is known that Mayor Phelan was guided somewhat by the judgment of Mrs. Hearst in appoint- ing Mrs. Kincaid. Mrs, Hearst is helpful to the State University. She is in favor of establishing close educational relations between the State institution of learning and the advanced schools of San Francis- co. It is said that she will contend against the Schmitz proposition to ex- clude women from the local Board of Education. Her opposition is likely to be sustained by strong influences. After rest and meditation in the country the Mayor-elect may reconsider his intention to banish Mrs. Kincaid from the Board | of Education. | There'is a good deal of gossip concern- ing the Chief of Police under the Schmitz regime. The Call can mention three men, neither one of whom will be Chief. Thes¢ three are Michael Casey, ex-Chief isaiah Lees and Lieutenant Esola. It is a sure thing also that Mose Gunst will | not be appointed Police Commissioner and | that the smokers on the force will not be compelled to smoke Gunst's cigars. Recognition of Primary League. It is refreshing to observe that the Pri- mary League has been recognized by one | of the State boards since last Tuesdsf/ s | election. William Harrington, who led the Independent Republican forces against | the Martin Kelly push in the Twenty- | eighth Assembly District at the primary election August 13, has been appointed | wharfinger to fill the vacancy caused oy the death of ex-Assemblyman Raw. har- | rington is a good worker in politics and |a capable, square man. [ The public observes with pleasure the | interchange of complimentary letters be- | tween the defeated candidates and the winning aspirant for Mayor. The felic- of expression is admirable. The com- pliments of the season ought to be broad- ened or extended to embrace congratula- tory letters from Colonel George Stone, chairman of the Republican State Com- mittee, to Hon. A. Ruef, letters from Judge McKinley of Los Angeles, John Mackenzie of San Jose, and A. B, Lem- mon of Santa Rosa to Mr. Ruef would not be amiss. Judge McKinley, the statesman with the handiest type-writing | machine ever produced for political work, should lead off in congratulations to Mr. Ruef. Political Atmosphere Is Cleared. | _The result of last Tuesday's election in | San Francisco is bound to have an im- portant bearing throughout the State. Assurance is given that the Republican State Convention next year will not be forced to accept such a programme as the allied corporations represented by W. F. | herrin may hand to the delegates. Law- | yers other than W. C. Van Fleet of San Francisco and Judge Sweeney of Shasta may reasonably aspire for Associate Jus- tice of the Supreme Court. The field is also wide open for every aspirant for the office of Governor. Senator Thomas | N. P. Chipman. E. Shorrt, Gage znd others are privileged to regis- ter for the race on equal footing. Senators and Representatives belonging to the California Congressional delegation wisely refrained from interference in the recent local contest. Senator who admires oratory, although. not an orator himself, was deeply touched by the eloquence of Samuel M. Shortridge in the campaign. Mr. Shortridge’s tribute to the heroism of the colored troops at San Juan Hill was truly eloquent. Perhaps it wus a failure as applied to the mere local purpose of enlisting the enthusiasm of the Forty-third Assembly District Afro- American League for Mr. Wells' candi- dacy, but the "eloquence was there and Senator Perkins appreciated it. Election returns_indicate that the colored troops of San Francisco, to whom the Shortridge oratory was addressed, followed the lead- ership of Ruef and voted for Schmitz. Good Work Appreciated. J. S. Parry, chairman of the executive committee of the Union Labor party, has | received the following appreclative letter from Mayor-elect Schmitz: SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 7, 1901 Mr. J. §. Parry, Chairman of Executive Com- mittee of the Union Labor Party—Dear Sir: I wish, through you, to thank the Unlon Labor | party, its executive committee, the delegates to its convention and the rank and file of its vot- ers for the great assistance and uniform con- sideration extended to me by them on every hand during the exciting and important cam- | palgn which has just closed in victory for us. We have won a great fight for the wage-earn- equal rights, and I trust that through my ad- ministration, based on high and honest prinei- ples, the relations between employer and em- ploye will become less strained, and_that the reciprocal rights of invested capital and organ- ized labor will be so adjusted, throuzh mutual respect and confidence, that the prosperity and well being of the wageworkers of San Fran- clsco and of every other element of our popula- tion will be constantly assured. I renew my promise that I shall consistently work to that end, and I trust that when my term of office shail expire the wage-earners of San Francisco will point with pride to the record of my ad- ministration, written not only on the official piness, contentment and prosperity of my fellow wageworkers. I hope to be able to bring about ! such conditions by the conservative and safe | { that in this way the Mormons were ac- administration of the city’s highest office that | the working classes will be looked upon with | favor and respect by all our fellow citizens, and that they | of confidence and esteem are justified by thelr action and by mine. | T pledge myself now to do all in my power | | to improve the conditions of the workingmen { of our eity, within every reasonable limit con- sonant with the proper protection of the rights of othere, and I shall be glad at all times to | receive in such matters your advice and the | counsel of our. fellow-workers in the ranks of the party. My election to the important and distin- guished office of Mayor of this great city, an honor cherished above all utner possibiifties, has in no wise turned my head, nor will it ever make me forget the cause of those whose in this campaign. myself accessible to them and to all of them, at all times, to the humblest as well as to the highest, and 1 shall be glad to receive you and them at all times. While from my position T bore a great part | of the brunt of the battle, I recognize now, and shall always remember, ‘that I alone did not accomplish the successful result. A large part of the work was on the shoulders of my friends, the workingmen, and a large part of the victory is due to their loyal and enthusi- | astic support. While I shall never allow this to fade from my recollection, it will, in the Flint, George C. Pardee, E. F. Preston, | B. Edson, Frank | Eugene B.

The story of the colossal transaction, as published in The Call, was read far and wide and on all sides congratulations were heard for the men who engingered the big deal. The acquisition of the Market street sys- tem by the Baltimore syndicate means more to the residents of San Francisco than appears on the surface. Not only will this city have a model street car sys- tem, but the benefits are unlimited that will result from the present stockhelders receiving the sum of $26,000,000 for rein- vestment. With few exceptions, all the stockholders of the Market street com- pany reside in San Francisco. They are to receive cash for their holdings and, as a natural consequence, the many millions of dollars must be invested in this ecity and vieinity. The money will not be al- lowed to lie idle and certainly will not be taken to the East or other points for investment, when so many golden oppor- tunities are but awaiting capital in this city and State. Arother great benefit that arises from the transfer of the street car system to the Baltimore syndicate is the valuable advertising San Francisco will receive in all the financial centers of the East and Europe. The field of investment in transportation lines of the Eastern and Middle West cit- ies has been thoroughly utilized and East- ern capital will regard with interest the colossal transaction of the Baltimore syn. dicate in San_Krancisco. George R. Webb, who has represented the firm of Alexander Brown & Sons of Baltimore, which, with its many branches, forms the syndicate, left for the East yesterday morning. Two hours previous to -his-departure Webb met H. E. Hunt- ington, 1. W. Hellman, R. G. Hanford and Attorney General Tirey L. Ford. The final papers of the transfer of the Mar- ket-street company’s property were signed and all were elated at the ending of the buge deal. Hanford’s Power Is Recognized. The acquisition of the Market street sys- tem is but a step in the plans of the Balti~ more syndicate, and in R. G. Hanford the world of finance is likely to see the rise of another Napoleon. Hanford first car- ried through the deal by which the San Mateo line was purchased by the Balti- more.syndicate; then, in the face of great difficulties, he engineered the purchase by the syndicate of the Sutter street line and the Sutro road to the CIiff House. He has successfully put through the transfer of the Market street system and other enormous financial transactions are being carried on in similar lines. As soon as the Baltimore syndicate is in actual control of the Market street sys- tem it will inaugurate many reforms. It cannot be too strongly emphasized that the syndicate, in coming to San Fran- cisco, does so for business purposes only and will have nothing to do with politics. Tt will carefully look into the merits of the local men who will be available for executive positions and who know the Vining will not be found on the payroll of the Baltimore syndicate. Herrin, Lynch, Burke et al. to Go. The heads of the syndicate have always been opposed to having men in their em- ploy who try to “do poiitics” or those who are unpopuiar with the public. ‘The notorious political wire-pulling of Willlam Herrin, the flagrant loobying with lawmakers by Jere surke and the high- handed methbds pursued in this city for years by Superintendent of Construction Lynch and General Manager E. P. Vin- ing will make them personae non grata with the new owners of the Market-street system of transportation. ‘Tne rule of cleanliness shat the syndicate will apply to its cars and power-houses will aiso rule in its selection of empioyes of all ranks. They must have clean records and business ability alone will be considered. The syndicate admits through its repre- sentatives that San Francisco has en- Joyed a good system of street transporta- tion, but it prcposes to give its patrons a model one in every respect. In the matter of ‘‘transters” the plan in vogue in the Eastern systems owned by the syndicate will be used in this eity and the tickets will be given out at all connecting lines of the system. The acquisition of the San Mateo, the Sutter street, the Sutro line and the Mar- ket-street Company's system but mark the beginning of the operations of the Baltimore syndicate. Plan a Network of Lines. The streét car: lines in Oakland, Ala- meda, Berkeley and San Jose have been inspected and options given on these sys- tems. The San Mateo line is to be extend- ed to San Jose and a network of lines is pianned around the bay of San Fran- cisco. New lines will run in all directibns and property around the bay will conse- quently increase in value. The syndicate is not making boasts of what it intends to do. The sum of $4,000,- 000 that will be expended in improvements on the Market-street system is but a forerunner of what will be done later on. The Baltimore syndicate has every faith in the future of San Francisco and adjacent territory and the plans of the Eastern capitalists will in a few short years make it possible for a trip to be made on swift street cars starting from the ferry depot in San Francisco and by way of San Mateo, San Jose and other bay shore cities arrive in Oakland, Ala- meda or Berkeley. The Market-street system, which passes into the hands of the Baltimore syndi- cate, has more than 200 miles of road. The company was consolidated on Octo- ber 13, 1893, out of the Market-street Cable Railway Company, which was opened July 4, 1860, and incorporated May 20, 1882; the Central Railroad Company, incor- porated Jul , 1862, and opened in Sep- tember, 1883; the City Railroad Company, incorporated May 16, 1863, and opened in July, 1867; the North Beach and Mission Railroad Company, incorporated in De- cember, 1861, and opened January 30, 1863; the Omnibus Cable Company, incorpor- ated December 1. 1887, and opened and ex- tended 1865 to 1889; the Park and Ocean Railroad Company, incorporated July 5, 1883, and opened December 1, 1883; the Potrero and Bay View Railroad Com- pany, incorporated May 1, 1866, and opened October, 1867; the Ocean Beach Railway Company, incorporated in 1885; the Southern Heights and Visitacion Rall- wants_and_desires of the people of this| way Company, incorporated in 1892; the city.

ANTI-POLYGAMY GRUSADER TALKS Mrs. Dr. Elliott of Utah Speaks of the Wives of Mormons. Mrs. Dr. Elliott of Utah delivered a lec- ture last evening in the auditorfum of th2 Young Men's Christian Association in be- half of the anti-polygamy crusade. Dr. Elliott has speat a lifetime of active ser- vice among the Mormons. She has vis ited them as a friend and as a physician. She is probably one of the best informed authorities on polygamy in the United States. She has made the cause of the women of Utah her own, and declares her intention of staying with the conflict un- til anti-polygamy is made one of the con- ditions of the constitution of the United States. ©he presented the reiigion of Brigham Young in a new light. When Roberts was making nis fight against removal from Congress he posed as a martyr. He appealed to the men of America as to the injustice of asking him to discard the superfluous wives whom he had prom- ised to support and cherish. "This sounds very grand,” continued the speaker, ~but some of its force is taken away when one Knows that every one of Mr. Roberts’ wives possessed in- dependent means, and that between them they were able to support him very hand- somely.” 2 S Dr. Ellictt sald that it is the almost in- variable custom for the plural wives of a Mormon to support themselves. They take up quarter-sections of land. In this way the man with four wives is able to get hold of some 800 acres of land—plenty 1n that fertile State to support wives and children without any considerable effort on_his part. Trhe speaker called attention to the fact quiring a vast expanse of territory in a number of States, and for this reasoi.| alone, she thoaght, some action by the as necessary. O s nterest in the Aght, she sald, was the improvement of the condition of th: Mormon women. “When a system of ethics produces an abnormal American woman it is time for American women to protest.” Dr. Elliott then made an earnest appeal for signatures to a petition to be present- ed by the American women to Congress asking for the enactment of a constitu- tlonal amendment of an anti-polygamy ature. nslgnature blanks were provided last night, and after-the address nearly every one present signed the petition. —_—ee—————— Vaccination and Juxtaposition. “On my right arm, please,” said the | sweet young thing. hysician who was arranging the va’l;‘é‘lanep %olnta looked = surprised.

WANDERING JEW 1o A BAD TYPE Rabbi Voorsanger Talks of Modern Fiction Writers. A In the second of a series of lectures on the “Wandering Jew” Rabbi Voorsanger spoke last night at Temple Emanu-El on the character of the Jew as portrayed | His discoursé took the | in modern fiction. form of an analytical review of the works of Rev. George Croley, General Lew Wallace and Slenkowitz. He spoke in part as follows: In the last decades of the eighteenth century the legend of the Wandering Jew began to at- tract the attention of writers and poets. Dur- ing the last half of the eighteenth century the Wandering Jew becamie a beautiful theme and the people of Israel became identified with that lonely wanderer. For over three centuries the ‘Wandering Jew had been set aside as unworthy the notice of the latter day historian. Every prohibitive law, everything that could j be done to set him outside the pale of civiliza- tion, everything that could be conjured up to exclude him from the sublime and cast him into the ridiculous mold, was taken advantage of, until the matter had reached its climax. Goethe, however, depicted him in his true light as only could a master word painter. ‘We therefore find two discordant types of the Wandering Jew. He Is painted by some writers as the wandering son of the accursed | Cain. In the other he is a poetic being, gather- ing the ends of the mind of man. Rev. George Croley and General Lew Wallzce have endeavored to present a consistent Jew- ish character, but in each instance have sig- nally falled. ' Seraphiel is the Rev. Mr. Cro- ley's ideal; Beg-Hur that of General Wallace. Testimony shoWs that the most stubborn re- sistance against Rome was made by a son of Israel. Neither Hannibal, the Goths, the Van- dals, the Huns, nor the black visaged warriors of Africa put up a_more stubborn’ resistance. Both Croley and Wallace are gullty of creat- ing a scandal that is a disgrace to any Chris- tian writer. Both books are as treacherous to the Jewisk race as s the “Prince of Indfa.”” All make the Jew appear as an accursed being. It matters not wheye the Jew is, or what he is doing, he is always made out as a traltor to his taith and his covntry. Tt may be true thateverything comes from the Jew, but all the good that is in him is ob- scured by ecclesiasticism. Take all the types of the Jew as he is depicted by the story writers. They first make you see him in all his mag- nificence, only to cast him down and make him a traitor to his belief and hurl him down to the most despicable depths. When vou read these books be extremely cau- tious, as there is always some subtle poison within their leaves. The writers lack the moral courage o paint the historic character of the Wandering Jew. These are a few of the dan- gerous tendencles of a literature that is tainted with eccleslasticlsm. The time has come that when a Christian wants to write a legend of the Wandering Jew he must change his plan and bring the Jew and the Christian toget! in unity. But the story must be told as they travel down the pathway of time together, rec- ognizing In each other, not what the church has made them, opposing champlons, but rather champions working to the one end and awaiting the coming of the Redeemer. . Owing to illness Dr. Jacob Nieto was unable last night to address the Congre- POLIGE CHIEF ERIOUSLY ILL He Is Suffering From Effects of Overwork and Rheumatism. Rumors That He Had Suc- cumbed Cause Alarm to His Friends. Reports that Chief of Police Willlam P. Sullivan was in a dying condition were | spread all over the city yesterday even- | ing and rumors of his death were also| circulated. / The reports were exaggerated, how- ever, and while the Chief of Police is a very sick man the physicians have every hope of his recovery. The Chief has been alling for some time. He recently suffered from diphthe- ria, and despite the advice of his doctors and also of his wife insisted on returning to duty during the recent strike. He was on almost constant duty and the strain gradually wore upon him. A few days ago he again complained of feeling sick and was obliged to take to his bed. Medical aid was at once sum- monsd and it was seen that the Chief of Police was a very sick man. Yesterday afterncon reports were circulated that the Chief was suffering from Bright’s dis- ease and could not live. This report was unfourded. Dr, Bazet last evening called Dr. Galiwey and other physicians into consultation and it was announced later that the Chief was suffering from nerv- ous prostration and rheumatism. The physicians were undecided as to whether the Chief was suffering from Bright's dis- ease, but inclined to the theory that he ‘was not afflicted with that malady. The popularity of Chief Sullivan was shown yesterday by the numerous ex- pressions of sympathy heard everywhere in the city when the news of his condi- tion was learned. The physicians in attendance hope that | with absolute rest Chief Sullivan will re- cover his health. An Extensive Traveler. “Have you spent all of your life right here in this one place?” asked a stranger of an old fellow he came across seated on a rail fence whittling in front of a | log and slab cabin tn one of the back | counties of Arkansas. ,‘Not by a durned sight,” was the terse reply. “I've been hyar the better part o’ thled time; but, la, I hev traveled fur an’ Wide” “Ever been abroad?” ‘“Wal, not exactly to say abroad; on- less you call goin’ abroad to. go from | here way over to Petersville. I been | over there twice in the last forty year. | Its thirty-six an’ a half mile to Peters- ville, an’ I been furder than that, fer my ole woman an’ me went clean to Hog- back Ridge on our weddin’ tower, an’ that’s forty-one mile from here. Then I been over in Pettis county to see my wife's folks twice, an’ that’s twenty odd miles from here. Then been over to Rocky Hill ez many ez four times, an’ that's eighteen mile. Ez I say, I been here most o' the time, but then I've trav- eled fur an’ wide all the same. I've seen | the big four-story mill over in Peters- | ville, an’ the engine kyars over to Pea-| ville. I rid three miles on ‘em, an’ it's all T want o’ the pesky things. I've seen a calf with two heads an’ a feller that | could eat fire an’ dance on broken glass in his bare feet.

D (S S — \ Origin of Four Ones. There is a tradition that accounts for the four ones instead of the TV. A famous French jeweler of the name of Henry Vick presented to King Charles V, surnamed Wise, a clock whose dial bore the correct Roman numerals. Now, Charles did not know anything, | but being a King, he pretended to omni- science, and after failing to find a flaw in the works said: i “The elock runs well, but you have got | the figures on the dial wron “Surely not, your Majest; the jeweler. “Yes; that four should be four ones.” “You are wrong, your Majesty.” “I'm never wrong!" thundered the King. | “Take it away and correct the mistake.” Vick obeyed.

The members of the local detuchment of the Naval Reserves were out last night with a band celebrating the election of First Lieutepant T. B. W. Leland, U.'§. N. R., to the office of Coroner. Leland was prohably the most popular candidate on any ticket. His fellow sdilormen un- dertook last night to pay the compliment of a serenade to those that had helped the doctor retain his office. They had their hands full, and when they finally marched to their barracks they had trav- ersed a good many blocks and had been obliged to omit a good many serenades. ‘The Calil came in for a big share of their muslcal thanks. In addition to the band they carried {I- 3 don't understand,” she said. “lyouconl’ess I don't,” the T. mfi%}’eery likely that is because you were not vaccinated at a time when you were ergaged to be married,” suggested the girl. “Harold has been vaccinated on his left arm, so I—er—as a mere matter of convenience, don't you see, when you con- sider the juxtaposition in some circum- e B%:g: ‘the mother and the physician made admitted . a mental diagram of the customary situ- :tlon when two hearts are beating as one: d quickly saw that the girl was excep- :l%nu‘ily thoughtful and far-sighted.—Chi- cago Evening Pos! e a2 e luminated transparencies bearing legends such as ‘‘Leland b;l 3999,” “The Right Man in_the Right Place,” “We are tha Naval Reserves,” and so forth.

The Sporting Times says a correspond- ent sends the translation of a narrative related in La Chronique of Brussels and headed “Une Pondeuse.” - “Johann Steiner, a farmer from the en- virons of Salzburg, married in 1882 (when he was 55 years of age) a woman of 25 residing in the same town. In nineteen successive confinements this woman bore, f all, twins eight times runnin; then three times triplets, again four tim twins and finally four times a single child, which makes in all thirty-seven children—that is, if we can count prop- erly. “The last child was born last week. on the same day—curious fact—that its papa celebrated his seventy-fourth birthday. Thirty-four children, of whom twenty- are girls, are still living.” The Sporting Times adds: Your prayers are naturally desired for old man Steiner, who must be petitioning his_Government to allow the next automobife contest to take place in the neighborhood of Sal‘-l burg.—Paris edition New York Herald. ..
