day, ana yesterday he was at home TO callers at
the California hotel. He seemed much I'M
proved in health and o have regalned entirely
his usual strength and yvacHy. His fine spir.
lis stood him IN good stead, for the hotel office
was crowded all during the afternoon with Wis
itorS most of whom were after places, ana the
ordeal was anything but inspiritng. hut there
were also many persons who called sim ply 10
pay their respects to the next Governor and to
congratulate him on his success.
MIR. Budd received Them all cordially talked
politics with them in a general way, and finally
brought the leyee 10 Il close without having in.
dicated in any way what he proposes to do in
the matter of appointments.
In the afternoon lie left the hotel and his
friends announced that he had taken a train,
5ut they did not announce his objective point.
The train" was probably convenient myth,
for the hotel people were notified mat MIR.
Budd would be in the city again this afternoon.
Men WHO are in his confidence continue TO
assert hat Mr. Budd has as yet IN lde no selec-
tons from among The candidates for State Off
cps, and IN & he dos not intend 10 do so until

THE MESSiANIC IDEA.
Rabbi Voorsanger Before the Pres.
bYterian Union


Rev. DR.. Voorsanger. the well-known Hebre W
rabbi, addrc ssed largely attended meeting of
the Presbyterian Ministerial Union in the Mis-
sion home of the Woman's Occidental Board
yesterday morning, liberal proportion of his
audience being ladies', among them a number
OF acknowledged intellectual and literary
ability as we'll as of prominence in religious
work. The most of those present had been
drawn there 10 listen to the rabbfs address ON
The Modern Status OF the Messiauc Idea
Among ne Jews"
The address was a very scholarly one, and
showed quite clearly the analytical mind OF the
learned rabbi who by his eoquence and enTer-
tanning manner OF handling the subject readily
aroused the interest OF his listeners, and held
their strict attention for the entire hour during
Which he spoke.
He began with the etymology Of the term
Messiah" which Is the same as "anoinied
one" anG was originally applied indiscrm-
lnateiv TO the priest and the king. he then
traced The history and DEVELOPMENT of the
MeSSianic idea from its inception TO Its present
fixed form III the Christian system. as well as
that which Ii has assumed in the minds of the
most advanced thinkers among the Jews.
These. II seems. have given up the belief III a
personal Messiah and now hold that he is sim
ply the representation of the divine power In
the REDEMPTION of humanity.
lie called attention to the growing tendency
to the upbuilding OF a strong manhood, and he
believes that the Messiah, or Christ, is the
spiritual! power working through the various
agencies in operation for the accomplishment
OF this object. The tue Messianic idea ne
thinks, will be realiZ when men shall come 10
recognize God as he king of tho univers,. and
the father OF ALL acknowledging themselves az
his children and as all belonging 10 a common
brotherhood.
A hearty vote OF thanks was given to DIR.
Voorsanger for his address.
Next Monday short time Will be given TO
the consideration OF the proposition for provid-
ing ward in one Of the hospitals for iucurable
child en-, after which keV. j. A. Merrill editor
OF the Oeeident, will read a paper on shall

UNDER THE BAN.
The CIay-Street Market
Building.
District Engineer Shaughnessy Con-
demned 1t Because 1t Is
Considered Dangerous.

The two-story building known as the Clay
street Market. 528 $50 and 532 Clay street, is
at present under the ban OF the Fire Depart.
ment. 1t was pronounced unsafe and cou-
demned yesterday By District Engineer P. H.
ShaughneSSy.
The ground floor of the building is occupied
by several butchers and dispensers of other
eatableS. and II was from one OF these that The
complaint came TO the Fire Department. The
upper story is occupied by c. A MURDOCH
commercial job printer, and the Sterreit Print
ing Company. 1t is The heavy machinery of
these concerns that threatens to break through
the ceiling, and, in fact the Orders on which
the upper floor rests have already shown signs
Of bending, which is not pleasant o look on
by those who pass the entire day underneath
my attention was called 10 the threatening
danger and | Immediately made an lnvestiga-
ton" said Engineer Shaughnessy last night.
Il found that the supporting posts have set
tleu somewhat and besides they are too far
apart. The basement foundation is not of the
best there, as II is all made ground Much OF
the heavy machinery and imposing stones up
stairs found 10 be situated between the lines
OF posts and girderS-in fact, much of The
heaviest weights was at what we call the
breaking points, or near them. l saw at once
that ii was case which needed official inter-
ference, and quick interference a that In case
OF fire 1t would be very unsafe To enter. A
blind fire might in few minutes dry up the
timbers and break their resisting capacity
thereby letting the heavy machinery fall
through TO The floor below"
The property in question belongs 10 the
Thomas estate, for which b. p Oliver is the
agent Mr.. SnaughHes>y Immediately notified
Mr.. Oliver that the building was condemned
and would so remain until the necessary re
pairs are made by putting in a double row of
posts and grders on the ground floor and in
the basement ! he Chief OF tue Fire Depart =
mpnt was also notified. and all the tiremen
have been instructed not TO enter the building
Ia case OF fire. Insurance Inspector Porter was
also informed of the official action taken, and
that gentleman at once notified The UnQer-
writer's who carry risks on the building, aud
suggested that they cancel their policies.
But IL Is not likely that the building will long
remain under the ban of condemnation. Mr..
Oliver the agent, had no sooner been informed
of the action taken by the District Engineer
Than he sought a contractor and at once made
arrangements for putting In The necessary sup
ports. The building is visited by thousands OF
persons each Gay, and 1t was for the public
safety that MIR. ShaughnesSy pushed his official
action through with all speed.
