not make the Saba tn a burden, blight or

had at home on Sunday. Father was

dren growing up who go astray; those who
nave had no Sabbath at home, and those
who have had an enforced one. No child
ever yet went Rstray, or ever could tail to
return, whose childhood was at once
holy and glad. There IS too much thou
shalt not and too little effort TO provide
that which would make the Sabbath glad
and holy day. Be more tender, kind and
happy on Sunday than on any other day,
and those about you will come to long for
Sunday and to believe in it."

In heated arguments as TO the striking
capacity Of Jim COrbeit.
a large youth with red hair seemed TO be
the best talker on this question, and it was
finally decided in his favor.
Down at the other end Of the cellar a boy
was Derched upon chair holding hat at
arms length, while another was making a
des 1I;1,s atbtemnt to reach With his foot

finally succeeded, and collected the stakes
from the holder.
Crowds of boys stood here and there
arguing on various topics, most of them
smoking, chewing ana using the most pro-
ia language and filthy expressions.
'casiunally they were treated to fistic

them IN return the privilege of remaining in

OF whom are known 10 the police as
FOUNDERS, and whose records in criminal
circles are well established.
The foregoing description Is made from

fanny. The fun" is repeated continually,
and every night an average Of 100 bows of
all classes can be seen assembled, engaged
in games of all descriptions where money is
held as prize, and with their united con-
tributiOns these boys are sustaining place
where they can hide from the keen eyes of
parents, and with the many examples OF
depTavity and low character are gradually
drifting on the wide road to an end which
will forever cast dark shadows on lives
which might have been a success.
To make clearer sketch as to the harm
done by such places as these one has only
10 read the list Of legislative appropriations
asked by the State reform schools and in
situations for the feeble minded, which
amount TO more than one million dollars.
At present there are over fifty boys at the
old Industrial School in this city awaiting
TRANSPORTATION to Whittier, that place be-
ing so crowded with juvenile law breakers
that no more can be sent until some have
completed their sentences.
This is not the only place in San Fran
cisco where such amusements for boys are
conducted. but it serves as a sketch of the
many dens where children are Iured from
good homes TO learn all the badness and de-
pravity of mind and character infesling
such nurseries of crime.

SCRATCHES
DON'T
COUNT.

As the reporter advanced further into the
hall he came TO an open space and through
maze of vile-smeliDg smoke he discovered
row Of billiard tables. He seated himself
on long board resting on a few chairs.
About him were many juvenile billiard and
pool players who crowded the place to the
doors.
The cellar was about seyenty-five feet
long by twenty-five wide. and lined with
damp cement floor sprinkled with sawdust.
The walls and ceiling were whitewashed,
aud were about ten feet in height.
a few rusty gas-fixtures gave faint
light, just enough to see the multitude OF
boys, varying in age from 10 to 20 years.
who In their mental weakness were being
lured into vice and wickedness by the in
dUcement of companions older than them
selves, who might profit by staining an
innocent lads career.
Five billiard and pool tables on a straight
line reaching down the long, narrow passage
were surrounded by boister0us set of
young hoodiums. fighting and swearing in
order to hold their own In the game, and
keeping sharp lookout on the counting
string above. for fear their opponents
might count too many for themselves.
When point or shot was doubted, which
was very common occurrence, it was settled
by battle OF words and sometimes by
blows, the larger players being generally
the victors, although in one case, an urchin
hardly knee high to a grasshopper, won the
laurels by defying crowd of combatants

LOVE THE SUNDAY.
It Should Be a Glad and
Holy Day.
Mrs. Cooper's Bible Class Takes Up
This Lesson as One of
Special Interest.

A large class was In attendance at the
hour for Bible study in the First Copgrega-
tional Church yesterday, and Mrs. Cooper
opened the lesson by saying:
Zone day OF rest in seven is an absolute
physical necessity. 1t has been demon
strated by experience that men break down
under continuous round of work. The
Sabbath day is a provision for celestial
pleasure in this life. A worldly, selfish
life during six days can no more have a
Sabbath Of the seventh than a man who Is
intoxicated six hours can have sweet com-
fort In the seventh and the sober hour"
A question was asked IN regard to a law
compelling Sabbath observance.
Mrs. Cooper replied: "While the law NAV
compel outward observance, to n certain
extent, yet unless the Sabbath spirit is In
the man there will be no Sabbath kept by
him. There can be no true Sabbath-keep-
ing which Is merely by law. We cannot
force a person 10 keep Gods day holy. The
Sabbath can only be truly kept by those
who in heart desire TO keep it, The fact IL
If we have the light spirit we can easily de-
eide the right action.
THE Pharisees broke the Sabbath in the
very act OF keeping it, and Jesus told them
so. 1t is good plan to notice how Christ
kept the Sabbath. He announced the great
principle, 1t Is lawful TO do good on the
Sabbath day. The blind must be led, the
TAME must De spread and all good deeds
must be done. Ships must 90 on Sunday,
but there may be a Sabbath on the sea- The
city must be guarded on Sunday, bur it NAV
be done in the Sabbatic spirit"
spirited discussion ensued in regard 10
public places for esthetic recreation. The
question WAS asked il these did not tend to
bumaHiZs ana Christianize. 1t was replied
that IL is one thing to civiliZe, but 1t is q
deeper thing to lead to devotion and to
Cbristianize The worship OF the beautiful
Is not necessarily the worship of holiness.
1t was remarked that some people who

siderable trouble, darting here, and now
there, through the green grass with an
alacrity which placed both dogs on their
metal. Long John finally ran down the
hare and won the contest
The following was the result of the eight
dog stake:
Long John beat Jack Dempsey. Glen
farron beat Dolly Warden, Comassie beat
English, Matte beat White Rustic.
In the first ties Long John beat Comassle
and Glenfarron bested Matte.

and Glenfarron. belonging TO the same
owner. whose name is NJ. Ling, the second
ties were not run off, the dogs taking first
and second prize.
After the regular stake match a number
of private contests were arranged.
The most important was the run between
Lady Freestane and Honeymoon, sisters,
for $50 side, on the result Of which the
betting was quite lively. Lady FreestoGe
won the money for her hackers.
The result of the remaining private
matches was as follows: Mollie beat Boss
Tailor. Uncle Jimmy beat Nettie, and
Nancy ran away with Maid of the Valley.

One of the young ladies, who was sus-
pended from the hospital by the resident
physician Tor having been indiscreet in her
complaints, tnld IHE CALL man yesterday
that she had only words of praise to saw for
the managers of the Children's Hospital
she was under obligations to them, she
said, and refused positively to talk of her
own status at the hospital and training
school.

Mrs. Fuller. the matroD, said she thought
! there would be no further trouble among
the nurses, but her asseveralions that there
had been no dissatisfaction among them
| rather negatiyed this statement.
There are about thirty young women at
the Cbildren's Hospital and Training School
for Nurses at 800 California street. They
are all bright, intelligent, cOmely girls,
They come from respectable ana cultured
families, and the fact that their remunera-

They come to this institution from all

DIR. hIRST's SERMON.
A Discourse on "The Gold God of
Society,""

|
A Discourse on "The Gold God of
Society,"
DIR. A. c. Hirst preached last evening to
congregation which crowded the audi
forum of Simpson Memorial NJ. E. Church,
corner of Hayes and Buchanan streets. His
sermon was the first of a series of six So
cial problems and was THE Gold God Of
Society,""
His text was from 1 Tim. vi, but they
that would be rich fall into snare, etc. for
the love of money is the root of all evil"
He said travel was q wonderful educa-
tor. He recalled a magnificently melan-
choly picture in one Of the galleries Of Paris
representing nude female soaring in mid
air over an awful abyss and Just to the
right OF the picture was man riding an al
most exhausted steed to the verge OF the
chasm. Beneath him were many crushed
forms oil beauty. and behind him was death
The picture satirized the greed of gold and
the guilt of giittered sin. Ten thousand
such pictures could be found In all our great
cities.
Other illustrations were used to point the
thought. Among them were such as these
Horace Greeley when approached by half
drunken Congressman who said II am a
selt-made man, replied, THAT relieves God
OF great res pom Sibility."
The preachers advice to the young men
OF San Francisco was: First, that wealth
need not corrupt man, and when they
had an opportunity to acquire il legitimately
they should improve 1t. Second, that they
did not need to be rich to be happy; a clean
heart, healthy body and noble aspirations
were far better than riches. Third, that
man does not need TO have gold in order
to have Influence and power; ideals were
miehtier than gold. They have upturned
nations and dynasties they make manhood,
and man with the sublime ideals of the
Christian has dominion of death.
The discourse was brought to close by
the recitation of a thrilling poem. illustra-
tive OF the TEN stations and insidious perils
OF avarice, and depicting a banquet hall
filled with men and women turned TO stone
and seated at table covered with vessels
of gold. and the assertion that avarice

rlched and ennobled the soul, exalted the
