JOHN w. MACKAY.
He Is Well and To-Day Will Be AL
lowed to Dress.


DR.. Keeney, one Of the physicians in at
tendance on John w. Mackay ever since he
was shot by Crank Rippey. was seen late
last night and questioned in regard TO the
condition OF his patient.
"Mr. Mackay was in n most cheerful
mood to-day on receiving news of the safe
and quick voyage of his wife across the
ocean. In the morning he received a teIe-
gram from her stating that she had a fine
voyage and would leave New York on Tues
day next for San Francisco, and would be
accompanied by her two sons.
Mrs. Mackay would have started I'M
mediately for San Francisco were 1t not for
the fact that on her arrival there were a
number OF very encouraging kilograms
awaiting her. which must have occasioned
her considerable relief, as when she left
Europe the condition Of her husband was
very precarious.
''As far as the condition OF Mr. Mackay
Is you can say that he will get up and
dress tomorrow, Sunday, for tine first time
will allow him 10 sit up during the better
part of the day, but will not permit him IN
overexert himself l think | will have Mr..
Mackay in such condition that he will be
able to go a short distance TO meet his wife
when she gets near the city on the train.
That is II nothing unforeseen happens and
the weather continues good.
"Mr. Mackay has shown a wonderful
constitution In this trial that he has had
and the ordinary man would not have sur.
vived the strain, especially when that acct
dent happened to his stomach, when a piece
OF shrimp got lodged in the appendix YER
mitor. For thirty -siX hours he hung by
thread. and it looked as If we would be
obliged 10 perform surgical operation to
remove the Obstruction. In his then weak

timely end. He bemoaned the cantankar-
Gus and mercenaTy spirit that had been
displayed, and ne also regretted the little

johnson, have dropped In the doomed en-
terpTlse.
What more was there 10 do? Nothing.
The audience could only dispense with
Kisses, and there was not much of that. 1t
only smiled good-naturally and went home
feeling slightly sold"
Two contests had taken rlace so no money
could be demanded in return, and the spec
tators who had paid to see the show were as
scarce as flies in winter anyhow.
The contest between the ladies demon
strated that under proper conditions a tug
of-war tournament OF this kind might be
very interesting, but the tank should be
deeper and wider. The boats were jOnted
stern to stern by pole and the contestants
pulled against each other. Tho ladies looked
we'll in their boating costumes of cream
colOred flannel, trimmed with blue silk, and
Tam o. Shanter caps.
Mrs. White pulled Mrs. Campbell right
up to her end without stopping. She
handled the oars like the experienced OARS
practiced in a boat three weeks, and al
though she has strength she lacks skill.
The tug between the Americans and Ger
mans was see-saw and any ones match
for the first half minute. and then the SUI
perior strength Of the heavier Germans won
the day.
Mrs. White intends challenging any
woman on this coast for a mile or q mile
and half rowing race Cd the bay. j. Ii.

Campbell was coached by George Z. Me-

paying patrons that never arrived, enough
money was scraped up By the management
to pay the American and German teams in
advance, although the bOx-office had been a
winner of only $40 up to that time. The
Germans Outpulled the Americans in
minute and II seconds.
Then it was all over, for a full-grown
strike was on.
After cOpious stamping and cat-calls, the
audience gave 1t up. The boats and tank
were ready, but no tuggers.
Around by the dressing rooms war was
popping In seventeen different kinds of
language.
A composite ratois consisting Of English,
Irish, Highland lingo, KanucE. Danish,
Dutch, Italian, Swedish and Norwegian
and sounded like the traditional cross be-
tween thunderstorm and buzz saw.
Ihe miscellaneous collection of lads rep
resenting Turin parts" and distant shores
had been promised SIS each per night for
trying to pull the arms out OF one another
In the tank. But the size of the audience
made the fellows weary of pulling unless
they were paid in advance.
Soon the SPECTATORS knew the exact ma
ture OF tho difficulty, for a Hibernlan boy
Jumped on the platform and, with hat in
hand, addressed the assembled 200 thusly !;
Ladies and gentlemen: We came here
Tor to work, and we are willing to do our
duty. But we want our mooney before we
goen ahead. He won't pay us at all and
without mooney not tug will we tug"
That settled il. There were no more tugs
Manager Jensen explained to tho reporters
that there was no money in the till with
which to satisfy the yedInings of the kick

condition the accident was a most danger
Gus one, but his wonderful strength and
recuperating powers pulled him through.
AT the present time Mr.. Mackay is
we'll man, only weak through his c0nfine-
ment. In about week he will be on the
street as If nothing had happened to him,
that is after he gets out a little while. His
principal weakness lies in the arms and legs,
but of course this is only due to his being
so long in bed, which was very irksome to
him, as he was accustomed to take good
deal OF exercise.
THE coming of Mrs. Mackay has acted
like tonic and his strongest desire is to go
and meet her. There is no doubt that he
will be able to do so, for when he once
begins to 90 around he will recover bis
strength in a phenomenally short time"
Mrs. Mackay, on her arrival. will occupy
the finest apartments there are in the Pal
ace. 1t is a number of years since she has
been in San Francisco, she having preferred
to reside in Paris and London, relgning
as one of the queens of society. John w.
Mackay Jr., who will accompany his mother
across the continent, is noted as one of the
most luxurious bachelors in New York City.

THE PASSOVER.
Rabbi Levy's Patriotic
Sermon.
Happy Jewish Homes-Music, Song
and Mirth at Every Fireside.
Why the Feast Is Kept.

With sunrise yesterday morning began the
Feast of the Passover, the annual celeDra-
tiOn of the exodus of the IsrealItes from
Egypt 5000 years ago, after a serVituds
under the PharaohS OF 210 years.
The services held in the various syna-
gogues of the city were imposing and the
attendance larger than ever before known.
The Feast of the Passover is not kept by
Synagogue services alone, but is observed
in every Jewish household during the even
ing Of the 18th of the month of Nilsson, and
the evening following as well. Consequently
last evening every Jewish home was blaze
of light and music, song and merriment pre-
vailed.
The head OF every Jewish family recited
the service from the book of Hagodah,
which contains the history OF the Israelites
from the time when Jacob with his little
band of seventy-two followers went down
into Egypt until 2lO years later when they
came out of Egypt nation OF 100000 strong,
leaving slavery behind.
at is an eternal covenant" said Rabbi
Levy last evening, keeping the jew in
mind OF what has passed, and what he has to
look forward TO for his people"
The sermon preached by Rabbi Levy yes
terday was on the -Four Cups of Wine"
known in the Jewish religion as the Cup
of Liberty" the Cup of Domestic Happi-
ness" the Cup of Hope" and the Cup of
Joy."
The sentiment expressed by the first of
the four cups claimed the greatest atten-
ton, and his discourse on the subject was
both eloquent and patriotic. Not patriotic
as Jew only, but patriotic a an American
citizen. He eXhorted his hearers to stand
by the country Of their adoptiOn-the birth
place of many of them-suppOrt Loyalty, as
true citizens OF a great and good nation, its
laws and public Institutions. and fight for
it If necessary.
The Cup OF Hope" also received consId-
cradle attention. The rabbi treated his
congregation to a short retrospective talk
about the Jewish race, in which he called
their attention 10 the fact that all the
nations which had to a greater or less
extent ruled the Jews were now thing OF
the past, living on the page of history
only. The Romans, the BabyIOnians,
the Egyptians-alI had gone, but the
Jews were more powerful than ever.
This, the speaker said, was a clear indca-
tion of what the Jewish race has to look
forward to-a clear indication of Gods d.
vine will that they should prosper till the
end of time. The particular hope for the
future which the rabbi held out to his hear
eTs was that the time might speedily come
when all the nations OF the earth might
be united as one-the brotherhood of man
kind established, strife, war and blOodshed
things to live in history only.
Unleavened bread. commemorative of the

HE WASN'T FOOLED
\ Drivers Smartness
Causes Trouble.
A Horse Killed, Wagon Smashed and
a Load of Tripe Spoiled at the
Mission Greek Bridge.

Hold on there! Don't you see that train
coming?"
"Get outl This is the first Of April, but
you can't fool me-"
The warning cry had been yelled out by
the Waterman on the Mission Creek rail-
road rawbridge. and the answer which
fioated back to him through the early morn
ing mist, attended by little profanity. was
uttered by Joseph Lavinge, who was COM
ing from South San Francisco with load
Of tripe for the San Francisco market.
The driver evidently had his mind made
up to be very sharp IN avoiding the snares
of the 'fOolcatcher," and was seemingly
under the impression that the bridge
tender was making an early morning effort
to I've funny. Therefore he congratulated
himself on his shrewdness and the fact that
he was not up early in the morning for
nothing.
He whipped up his horses, and the heavy
wagon ratified on over the splntered panks
and rails, shaking up the tripe as 1t was
never shook before Suddenly he stopped
chucklin9 and drew in his horses, for Just
before him, looming up very large, was a
boxcar bearing down upon MIN at no little
speed.
He yelled to the engineer to stop, and got
ready to jump, but the engineer being at
the other end OF long string OF bOxcars
was too far away to hear him, and as the
bridge is narrow there was no room 10 turn
and seek safety in fight. The train came
on and bumped into the terrified horses,
throwing them both down. mangling aud
crushing the life out of one and jamming
and ripping the other horribly.
The wagon was torn to pieces the run
nlng-gear scattered from one end of the
bridge to the other, and nothing but a some
what apidated-looking bed left for pur-
poses of Identification.
The driver, who was too smart to be
fooled on the LIST of April, saved his life by
wonderful leap, born of fear, from the
wagon-seat to the top beams OF the bridge.
from where he surveyed the somewhat con.
fused mass Of broken wagon, dead horse and
tripe.
Lavinge claims there was no signal OF
lookout as there should have been on tile
