PULPIT AND PLATFORM.
Rev. Rufus w. Miller at Williston
Church

The idea that the conversion of the in
dividual is not the whole of Christianity
appears during the past few years to have
developed various avenues for personal
work prominent among them the Society
of Christian Endeavor, the Kings Daugh-
tiers. and more recently, the Brotherhood
of Andrew and Philip. The founder of
this brotherhood, the Rev. Rufus W. Mil
Ter of Reading, Pa, preached morning
and evening in Williston church yester-
day. Mr.. Miller is pleasing speaker.
In the morning he announced as his text
the gospel of John l., Al; and he also read
several selected passages of scripture,
and stated as his theme personal Work,
How and What" The preacher said
that the rapid growth of the Apostolic
church was due chiefly to the personal
work of four men--Andrew, Philip,
James and John-whose enthusiasm
compelled them to speak first to their
own kinsmen, then to those about them,
afterward to preach to those more re-
mote. 'There is, said the speaker, mo
substitute for personal work. He then
dwelt on the thought that 1.-THE measure
of our own deep fellowship with Jesus
Christ will be the measure of our influ-
ence with others" The preacher in
closing said that the life devoted to per-
sonal effect in others behalf was noble
life and urged upon his hearers the duty
of such devotion, because of the father
hood of God and the brotherhood of
man.
In the evening Mr.. Miller spoke of
'tThe work of young men in the kingdom
of Christ
State Street Church.
Rev. George Morris, D. D., of Andover-
preached to large congregations yester-
day in State Street church, both at the
forenoon and evening services. His SER
mon in the evening was from the text
Romans VI, II, and was very able adj
dress, his treatment of the topic being
philosophical and convincing. 1t is
hoped that DR.. Morris may be heard in
this pulpit again.
At St. Luke's Cathedral at evensong
yesterday, Mr.. Carter, the organist, in
troduced a fine composition entitled ''The
Story of the Cross which is rendered at
the English cathedrals during the Lenten
services.
Rev. Mr., George preached at st. Paul's
church yesterday. Mr.. George pleased
his congregation very much. He will
probably accept the rectorship. He is a
young man and comes from Thompson
vile, Conn, where he has been estab-
lished the past three years.

EXCITED PATRONS.
Many Mad Women After a Miss
ing Laundryman.
Where is QuOng KEEP


That is the question which the patrons Of
KEGS wash-h0use in the shanty Of 1884 Six
teenth street would like 10 have answered.
Two score Of women who had their linen
washed at KEGS laundry invaded the cid
City Hall yesterday morning and besieged
Warrant Clerk Fanchor. Ia chorus the eX-
cited females related their story Of woe.
They told how Kee had locked up bis laun-
dry on Monday, the 8lh inst, and had not
been seen since. After waiting a week and
then discovering that Kee had left uumer-
GUS unpaid water, gas and coal bills, the
owners Of missing fneTy decided to appeal
to the police for assistance.
Numerous Inventories were sworn TO as
EanchOT prepared the search warrants He
had issued over forty warrants when the
crowd was augmented by the arrival Of
about thirty more representatives Of the
genter sex. The tired clerk gasped for
breath, made an excuse to leave ana forgot
10 return. Ia vain the indignant women
button hUled every policeman who hove in
sight
"C0me tomorrow" was the only consO-
iatiOn they received. One bewailed that she
had lost no less than eighty-fye pieces,
mostly napkins and tableclOths. The search
warrants were placed, however, in the hands
OF three officers, and they started out Just
before dark an express wagon stopped in
frort Of the old City Hall. 1t contained
some OF the contents Of QuOng KEGS laundry.
The linen was Carted into the Prop
eTty Clerks Office, but there will be a lively
time in Police Court to-day when the
women appear and begin their work of
proving the ownership Of the property.
Some Of KEGS patrons think that he was
the MOngol found dead in g house on Du-
p0nt street on the day that he disappeared,
but the police think otherwise.

A HUMAN BRUTE.
Wife. Beaten FabbriziO Surprises
Even Himself.

Michael Fabbrizio, who unites the vOca-
tons Of a crab and fish peddler with that
Of chronic wife-beater, was twice ar
rested yesterday for brutality attacking his
unfortunate spouse. Michael has been
Oftener arrested for abusing his wife than
any other man In San Francisco.
His cruelty has transformed his wife's
appearance in four years from a pretty girl
to that of an aged and decrepid woman.
Two unfortunate young children now claim
him as their father.
After being arrested in the morning for
beating his wife and securing his release on
bonds, he proceeded to get little drunken,
and, not finding his wife at home, made a
furious search for her, and finally found
her at her mothers, where she had taken
refuge. More Infatuated than ever, Fab
brlzio effected an entrance into the room
where the unhappy woman was concealed,
aud, after kicking her most brutally, struck
her with all his force in the face with a
brick, knocking her senseess and almost
smothering her with blood. Then the
brutal husband ran away, but was quickly
captured by Officer j. Mccarthy.
A charge of assault with a deadly weapon
was placed against Fabbrizio, who will
have to appear in the Police Court to-day.
Mrs. Fabbrizio's injuries are reported as

CAN'T SHOOT DUCK.
EventfuI Cruise of the POtrerO
Gun Club.

The Potrero Gun Club numbers among
its members William L. Dryer, John w.
Crowley, John Van Hyning, George Giles.
Frank Hansberg, Richard Walsh and Ed
ward Kelly. All of these gentlemen are the
proud possessOrs of mOngrel settlers and
muzze loading shotguns. There are en-
thusiastic duck-hunter5. but as a rule have
succeeded in killing very few Whenever
they would return to the PotTerO after
trip over the Islais Creek marshes with one
or two blue bills, their friends would
either assert that they purchased the fowl
already killed, or slaughtered a few Of the
d0mesticated variety.
To settle matters and prove that they
were genuine hunters. they chartered the
Yacht L'Esperance and on Tuesday last set
sail for Suisun. The yachts laTder was
stocked for a three days cruise, although
enough water was taken TO last for month.
An enterpTislng SalOOn-kee per with pOlltl-
cal aspirations threw damper over the
whole affair. When the yacht was about TO
sail, a barrel of beer was placed aboard with
his compliments. Richard Welsh objected
to the new passenger, on the ground that
be was blue-rIbbon man, but he was soon
squelched, and the yacht gllded away from
the Union Iron Works.
All went smoothly until Mare Island was
reached. Ii appears that the club steward,
Van Hyning, had eaten ham for breakfast,
and to overcome the thirsty effects Of the
salt had drunk innumerahle p tons from
the barrel Of beer. When John ". Crow
ley discovered this fact, instead of inform
ing the other members that the steward was
breaking faith, he Joined hands with him
and soon the barrel was empty.
Then there was mutluy, as both Crowley
and Van HyniDg got Ii into their heads that
the yacht was not being sailed properly,
and accordingly wanted command as captain
and mate respectively.
The five other hunters became indignant
in spells, and TWO left the yacht at Mare
Island, another at Vallejo, and the other
two deserted when the marsh was reached.
They arrived IN this city tTaye-WOrn and
dirt begrimed, on different days. All told
stories of haTdshiUs in reaching the city, and
sw0re vengeance on Van Hyning and Crow
lev.
L'Esperance locked at the foot Of
Fourth street yesterday, but as the other
mem bers of the club were unaware Of the
fact, they did not have an opportunity to
use their shO;guns. Not a duck was shot by
an member Of the club Oh the trip.

PRESSING THEIR RIGHTS
Wine-GrOWers Want a Man in
Charge of Their Exhibits.

The State Viticultural Commission is
making a fight before the Worlds Fair
Commission for the appointment of some
one to take charge of the wine exhibits to
be sent TO Chicago. It urges that the wine
industry Of the State represents S1G0, 10000
capital, and next 10 mining is the most i'm
poTtant
That persons should be appointed to take
charge Of the agricultural and horticultural
exhibits which VIII be the growth Of this
or next year, seems absurd when the wine
interests are overlooked. It claims that
the wine exhibited will be Of the 1888, 1889
aud 1890 Yintages, and that some one should
now be empowered to receive them.
Some time ago q certain gentleman APP
peared before tie Worlds Fair Commission
and asked that he be appointed. While the
Commissioners expressed themselves pleased
with his capabilities, they assured him they
had z money at hand, aud suggested that
he should work for nothing. Since then
they have suggested that he be paid by the
FitiCultural Commission.
