WEALTH'S VOCATION.
A Sermon Upon the Good Deeds of
Leland Stanford.

AT the Plymouth Congregational Church
last night Rev. w. ID. Williams, the pastor.
took for his subject, LELAND Stanford ana
Wealth's Vocation" The text was, He
being dead. yet speaketn."
The speaker announced that it was not
necessary to enter into the particulars of
Mr.. Stanford's life. because the news
papers with c0mmendable industry had
carefully and fully covered that portion.
That it would be absurd folly to eulogize
the dead Senator as Christian man, for
he was not, according to the doctrines of
the church, but he was religious man.
Rev. Williams said that the people OF
the present day are very apt TO disparage
their own generation. They are too quick
to think of men around them that they are
inferior TO those OF other generations. 1t
is only alter men are gone that the world
is willing TO give them credit for the good
they have accomplished. History may
canonlZe some men whe seem now to be
commonplace. No century had so many
great men as the one about to close.
Among other things the speaker said ::
I'VE are apt TO underestimate such men as
Senator Stanford because we have many
like him. Connecting the East and West
with iron rails, Planned and accomplished
years ago, was one of many grand things
he accomplished that has blessed human
lty.
THE touch of death will now give form
and utterance to the good deeds performe ed
by HIM that are unknown 10 the general
public. The constant discharge of duties
made his life monumental; not because of
one great stroke of genius. but because of
so many. 1t is not thought that Mr.. Stan
ford devoted his great talents ana energy
solely to the purpose OF amassing wealth,
but of helping his fellow-man.
Senator Stanford was distinctly the
educational philanthropist of California,
and his fame and the university he
founded is known wherever the English
language is spoken. 1t will 90 down to the
generations unborn as the greatest work If

men and women for years to come.
HE not only gave great wealth, hut
better still, he gave bis time and best
thoughts. The giving of money at death
is cheat, because it does not require anv
effort. GU cannot take any money with
you.
For sixty-nine years Senator Stanford
was known as a man of great will, energy.

They Worked Quickly.
Last week the Southern Pacific graded
another line for its track along Shattuck
avenue. Saturday night. about midnight,
large force of men was brought out and
after the last train at ! A. NJ, they were
put to work moving the track. BY 30
A. NJ. when the first train went down. the
whole length of the track had been moved.
1t was rather rough riding over it yester-
day. there being no ballast under the ties,
but the trains ran slowly. The change ex-
tends from Berkeley station to the juno
ton of Shattuck avenue and Adelaide
street. The pr0prrty-owners regard the
change with disfavor, believing it to be
made with view to laying several tracks
along the avenue, the width OF which is
lessened some twelve feet on the westerly
side by it.
Stricken with Apoplexy.
The mother of Nathan C.. Carnall, of the

THE RELIEF FUND.
Its Mode of Distribution to Be De-
cided Upon Probably TODAY.

CiOeQ upon PROBABLY To-Day.
Chief Sullivan was seen by a CALL re-
porter yesterday and was asked as to
whether any decision had been arrived at
as to the mode of distributing the fund re-
ceived for the families of the three firemen
who lost their lives at the Page-street fire.
'At the meeting of the Commissioners
yesterday" replied the Chief, 81 an
nounced that the total amount received
was S8762 40, and it was decided to ap-
point the President and myself as a CON-
mittee to consider the best means of dis
tributing the fund. At my suggestion the
Commissioners as WI ole were included
I'VE will meet tomorrow or Tuesday
and will most likely come to a decision
then. The fund will be divided into three
equal parts, and my idea is 10 hand over
TO each OF the widows her proportion with
ont reservation, as they are sensible women
and will deal with the money in a careful
and proper manner.

A CHINESE'S REVENGE.
Why Tom Sol Wants County,
woman DeDOrted.

Tom Sol, who has caused the arrest of
Chinese woman at Portland upon the
charge that she was Struggled into this
country. claims to be resident of this
city and doing business at 906 Dupont
street.
The Chinese storekeepers at 906 Dupont
street deny any knowledge of Tom Sol,
and declare that he is not now nor has
ever been connected with the firm.
From an other source it is learned that
Tom Sol carries on a brokerage business,
dealing in the purchase and sale of Chinese
women. He has made this city his head
quarters for several years, going TO other
coast cities to secure women.
He is suspected of having hand in a
number of cases where women have been
struggled into this port from China, and
he has been under close watch of Gus
TOM house officials.
Investigation will. no doubt. reveal that
the Chinese woman at Portland has been
arrested because Tom Sol has been unable
to prevail upon her to come 10 San Fran
cisco. and for the purpose of revenge he
wants her deported to China.

A BIG SUCCESS.
Benefit at the Grove for
Firemen's Widows.
Estimate That the Gross Receipts
Will Be Almost $500 for
the Fund.

The benefit rendered yesterday afternoon
by the proprietors of the Grove-street
Theater to the widows and orphans of
the fireman who lost their lives in the
Page-street fire a few weeks since proved
a magnificent success.
The Grove-street Theater donated every
thing-house, gas. employees, actors. mana
gers and even the printing. 1t is probable
the benefit realized between $500 and $500
for the beneficiaries. In the theater alone
there was 1912 in money represented by
patrons who witnessed a splendid per-
Torrance, and in addition to this amount
there were hundreds of tickets sold to
people who could not attend and who SIM
ply bought the tickets to help swell the
fund.
The bill presented was the famous play
of Milton Mobiles, entitled "The Phenix,"
play especially adapted to the purposes
of the benefit in consequence of the great
fire scene. In addition to the strong COM
pany presenting the play there were a
number of specialties sandwiched in be-
tween the scenes, the whole bill be ing one
of unusual excellence.
Little Annie Mclaughlin gave two reci-
tations and was recalled again and again.
Meyer Cohen sang "He Ran With the Old
Machine" and another fire laddie" song
and was recalled no less than seven times.
JUNE and Frank Armstrong received three
recalls, and Jack Vinton and jim Nor
riSsey donned the gloves for a four-r0und
set-to. with Manager Holden as referee,
and gave a fine exhibition of the manly
art. Jean Weiner. the barvtone, Little
Juanita in a tambourine dance and Master
Ben Smith in violin solo closed the spe-
cialties. All of the numbers were ex-
cellent. Miss Morrow Tucker. the new
soubrette at the Groye-street Theater. was
in the cast.
When Manager Holden came out to
make his curtain speech and tell the good
people what had been earned for the
widows and orphans he received an ova-
ton.
1t will be several days before the exact
amount of the gross receipts can be accur-
ately known, for the reason that tickets
for the benefit were left in scores of places
all over town, and until these are all
gathered up and the money for sales made
collected the aggregate receipts can only
be Appropriated. The chances are, how
ever, that the results of the Grove-street
Theater benefit will be one of the largest
donations made to the fund

mans life consistent not in the abundance
OF the things which be p0ssesseth." Mr..
Monroe spoke OF Senator Stanford's in
herited qualities, that adapted him in a
peculiar way to his sphere in life; OF the
value of early tolls in boyhood and of the
resOlute spirit that induced him to leave
the practice of the law when it was found
that such was not his calling.
He eulogized the great industry and abil-
ity of the late Senator, and said that his
tory would accord MIR. Stanford the posi-
zion of the foremost of all Californians.
and of an illustrious example of the posi-
bilities before American youth.

But there was nothing there to alarm

of M. Germenil just emerging from the

"Tdke care aUhut you're about"
Having thus settled their little differ
ences Of opinion, Remond went on to ex-
plain his plan. He reminded his confed-
crate of the bunch of keys which Charles
had left with Pierre and which contained
a key for each room in the house, each
key with it's own label attached. They
knew from the directions which they had
overheard Charles give Pierre as to the
distribution of the rooms which room M.
Germenil would occupy. The first thing
to be done was, having engaged room
for themselves, to obtain access to the
bunch Of keys and take off the one which
opened M. Germenips door. 1t would
probably require some adroitness in or
der to get possession of the key, but sure
ly between them they ought to easily out
wit villageois like Pierre. The key
once in their possession the rest would be
easy enough. AS soon as the house was
quite quiet and every one fast asleep
land these country folks sleep sound"-
they would by means Of the stolen key
enter M. Germenils room, possess them
selves of the precious booty, and then
hey for the road!
Remond calculated that, considering
early country hours and the fatiguing
busy day they had had, the household
would be fast asleep by II o'clock, and
that at 10 o'clock at latest they ought to
be able to carry out their plan and be off,
which would give them good six hours
start before M. Germenil would be likely
to discover his loss, to say nothing Of the
time it would take to communicate with
the gendarmes and the time that would
be wasted deciding in which direction
the search should be pursued.
"But," said Bertrand, "supposing that
M. Germenil were to awaken, and seeing
strangers in his room were to call for
help. We would be trapped them
"Bah!' said the other, ''you are en-
betant with your imaginary difficulties
He won't waken up!"
"How can you answer for that?" said
Bertrand.
"He won't awaken, tell you," said
RemOnd in a savage tone and with the
same look in his eyes as when his compan-
ion had spoken of leaving him. Enough
of this. I'm tired Of your cowardly fear.
Come, now, and let us engage room
and see how the land lies and if we can
get chance of securing the key. Sum-
mon up your courage now and put bold
face on it. Above all, we must not seem
as if there was anything to trouble us or
anything we need fear. If suspicion is
once excited, no one knows how it will
end. Assurance, mon ami, and audacity
that's our cue. If they make any diff

himself in a surly undertone.

THE HOLIDAY SEASON.

Again the merry Christmas times APP
preach and with them come the usual
activity and confusion. There will be
less expensive celebration this year, how
ever, than for years past. Money has
been so scarce and employment so diff
cult to obtain for months that economy
is present necessity which every one
recognizes. This enforced inclination to
frugality is not more pronounced in any
way than in the general Discrimination to
purchase luxurious holiday wares. In
this city, however, there is cheerful
element in the conditions existing not
observable elsewhese in the northwest.
In Portland, Tacoma and Seattle there
has been very little encouragement to
prepare for elaborate holiday festivities,
while here, though no special activity in
that direction has been noted, the usual
degree Of expectancy and interest is OBJ
served. The stores, however, have not
been decor ated with unusual ostentstion,
nor are the displays at all gaudy and ex-
travagant; but the sales 80 far have been
reasonably satisfactory and the events
during the next ten days, for which faith
ful preparation Is being made, will not be
lacking in interest and attractiveness.
On the whole, however, the holiday sea
