Professor Graham Taylor delivered the first lecture, at 3 o'clock this after- His topic throughout the session oon be: ‘The application of Christi- ty to the social tendencies of mod- influstry.” He s regarded as a | leader in sociological study, having | been founder of the Chicago Commons, | and In the forefront of the fight in| Chicago for better social conditions. | His special theme this afternoon was: “The Christian view of the individual | and his changed relation to soclety.” | He declared that there are powerful tendencles at work now changing the | social relation of individual life. Pro- | fessor Taylor cited the effect of the| I'rench Revolution upon the status of the individual, declaring that it had | brought out the man, making him tri- umphant over the manor, or -the barony, or the feudal estate.

Park Before City Counecil | WOUNDS THUG WITH A HATRI Miss Lillian Lm_ldquist Uses ‘Woman’s Weapon to Good Effect in Brief Struggle {ASSATLANT RUNS AWAY Searcher of Reeords Is Vie- tim of Attack While on Way Home From Theater OAKLAND, July 24—A courageous ! woman armed with a hatpin put a cow- !ardly man to flight last night just as ef- fectively as a policeman’s club could have done. Miss Lillian Lundquist, & searcher of records, who lives with her mother at 2182 Adeline street, is the heroine. She | Was returning home from the theater last night and had left the car at Thirty- fourth and Adeline streets when she was , accosted by a man, who, after following her for a few steps, caught her l;‘y the arm, exlcaiming as he daid so: “Now I have you; you are the one I want.’ ‘With a scream the girl attempted to tear herself from the man's grasp, but he was too strong. Then she reached up and drew a hatpin from the back of her hat and drove it into the man’s side. With a cry of pain the fellow released the young woman and ran down the street. Miss Lundquist on her arrival home told her brother, Theodore J. Lundquist, of what had taken place. The latter at once started out to find the man who had made the attack, but after a long search he was forced to give up the quest. Miss Lundquist is certain that she In- fiicted a severe wound on her assailant. PASTOR CRITICIZES AVERAGE SERMONS Says People Need Imstrue- tion in Fundamental and Spiritual Truths. “The Church as an Educator’” was the subject of a paper by the Rev. Henry K. Booth, pastor of the First Congregational Church, Sacramento, read before the Congregational ministers’ meeting yes- terday. Mr. Booth criticized the average sermon as dealing with non-essential questions and suggested that the pulpit should be devoted to the discussion of fundamental spiritual truths. He sald in part: Never was there a time when the people were more in need of Instruction.in the funda- mental ethical and spiritual truths. Here is the great opportunity of the pulpit to mold the religious thinking of the age. People are hungry for knowledge and have. sought the pulpit for instruction. They have heard dlscussfons of art, lera- ture, thealogy, science, economics, current lo- cal ‘events, everything but that which they need and seek—positive presentation of basic religlous truths. This age Is summoning. us to be not only preachers but teachers. In the discussion that followed it was largely held that the pulpit, as a whole, is dealing with fundamentals. Several, however, agreed that the position of the speaker was well taken. Bishop John W. Hamilton is expected back in the city early In the week. The Bishop will dedicate several churches and rededicate others before leaving for the fall conferences of the Methodist Episco- pal church. Bishop Joseph F. Berry, LL.D., is to preside over the Californfa Methodist Episcopal conference this year at Pacific Grove, beginning September 13. Bishop Berry will also preside at the Chinese Mission to be held Wednesday, Septem- ber 6, at 916 Washington street, and at the Japanese Mission, 1329 Pine street, Friday, September 8. On Sunday morn- ing, September 10, the Bishop will preach at the Chinese Mission and {n the evening at the Japanese Mission. The Congregational Club of S8an Fran- clsco and vicinity terdered a dinner and reception last night at the California Ho- tel to President Henry Churchill King, Ph. D, D.

Dickie, president of the club, presided. After the repast President King spoke on ‘‘Psychology and Life” and Professor Taylor's subject “The Old Burden for Souls—Its ‘was Changing Expression.” The subjects were eloquently treated. During the evening Miss Helen Colburn Heath de- lighted the company with vocal solos. —_— ee———— WOODLAND WIDOW WEDS HER OVERSEER Mrs. Ann Blake and Conger Ryder Quietly Marry Here. The citizeng of Woodland have a sur- prise In store for them when they learn to-day that one of their prominent or- chardists, Mrs. Ann Blake, a widow of only a few months, has cast aside her weeds and become the bride of Conger Ryder. The latter, until Sunday, was overseer of Mrs. Blake's orchard, which is one of the finest in the Woodland district. On that day he announced to several citizens of the town that he was about to enter upon a month’s vacation, and the mext southbound train out of Wood- land included Ryder among fits passen- gers. Later in the day it was learned that | Mrs. Blake had suddenly packed her trunk and started for this city. Em- ployes of the orchard had frequently of late remarked the attention being paid to Mrs. Blake by her overseer, but they little suspected that a matrimonial pro- i ject was busying his mind. That the couple had planned their trip to San Francisco was evidenced in the fact that they visited the County Clerk's office to- gether yesterday and obtained a license to marry, Ryder giving his age as 59 and that of his prospective bride as 56 It then became known that they were guests at the Hamilton Hotel, where the mar- riage was solemnized last evening and later celebrated at a repast. Mrs. Blake is widely known in Central California. She is & woman of marked literary attainments and is a prominent member of the California Federation of ‘Women’s Clubs. Ryder took charge of the Blake orchard shortly after the death of his bride’s former husband. —_——————— Pardee Taking a Rest.

Arrests have been made and fines administered, but | apparently to no purpose. The county | officials, therefore, will make an investi- gation and take what action the facts warrant. The District Attorney and the health officer have been instructed to make a personal inspection and submit a report to the Supervisors. The ranchers will be compelled to place their property in a thoroughly sanitary condition. PRINTERS’ SUCCESS. WILL BE ASSURED Typothetae Is Weakened by Crocker’s Action in Re- turn to Eight Hours. Unlon printers are confident of the suc- cess of their fight since the return of the H. 8. Crocker Company to the elght- hour schedule. Rumors are rife to the ef- fect that several other firms are consid- ering an elght-hour day, but it is not known yet which print shop will be the next to accede to the demands of the men. | None of the houses was able to operate a full force during the lock-out and the largest employers did not try to work their presses at all. The Typographical Union means to win the fight against the Typothetas by fair methods, as was instanced by their treat- ment of W. R. Boyd, a printer who was brought from St. Louls in the party of | strike-breakers. Boyd was housed with | the rest of the men in the rooms in the | Commercial Publishing Company's bulld- | ing, where he took sick nearly a week ago. He was denled, so he says, a glass | of milk and other food which he thought | necessary to the sick, but when the union heard of his plight it furnished him with a doctor and a room in a lodg- ing house. The man appears very grate- ful for the treatment accorded him. | Ray H. Perdue of Denver was supplied | with funds to travel back to his home | because he was dissatisfied with the con- ditions which he claims were misrepre- | sented to him by the Typothetae. The Typographical Union paid his expenses incurred while here, and financed the trip | to Colorado. Francls W. McIntyre was sent to Seattle at the expense of the| union yesterday because he was dissatis- | fied with the conditions under the nine- hour schedule. He was working as a non-union man, but was given money on applying to the Typographical Union. There may be some disagreement among the painters in the early part of next month over wages and rules. After the first of August it is contemplated to have the present wages of journeymen raised from $350 to $4. It is said that the master painters are not opposed to this, provided the journeymen sever their present connections and join the masters'; alllance. The question will be thorough- ly discussed before any action is taken. At the coming convention of the Inter- national Stereotypers’ and Electrotypers’ Unjon of the United States, which will assemble in Chicago on August 14, every means possible will be resort- ed to by the delegation from this city to have the convention of 1906 held in San Franecisco. All the influence that Delegate Willlam B. Kraner of this city, who goes as the accredited representative of the union, can bring to bear on his brethren to secure “the convention here will be used. In addition to his being the rep- resentative of the union he also speaks for the California Promotion Committee. Accompanying Delegate Kraner ars Rep- resentatives J. J. Smith, H. D. Pohlmann and E, Dengel. A most enjoyable picnic was held at Fairfax Park on last Sunday by the sygar workers, who crowded the park grounds to the number of several hun- dred.

J. The dead are: Joseph Franzor, aged 38 years; his wife, aged 30, and two daugh- ters, aged 7 and 2 years.
