whoever would understand this great
question and contributes to, its solution,
must have OH his right hand the works of
political economy, and on his left the lit
erature of scientific socialism, and must
keep the new testament open before him.
I'm considering social questions we are
not inquiring simply what can be imme-
diately done for society; what is likely to
be done in the correction of evils, but also
what are some of the remote points to-
ward which progress is to be made
Following this line of thought, Mr.: Will
son delved deeply into his subject, pictur-
ing in graphic language the mistakes of
the church and showing where social re-
forms were most needed. In closing his
remarks the speaker said:
1.-The race cannot rise except thro ugh
sacrifice. Crucifxions are the ransom that
progress always claims of men. Sacrifice
is lifes lay. None of us can even pay the
present what we owe the past There
fore, love one another as 1 love YOU "

BACK TO HIS AUNT.
The Court Orders the Father of the
Collins Child to Let 1t
Alone.

The custody of the child, John Henry
Collins, was awarded Saturday to his aunt,
Mrs. Congdon, by Judge Bahrs. The
father, who had taken the boy from her on
Thursday, was told to let his sister and his
son alone.
When the habeas corpus proceedings
came up the aunt was present and was
allowed temporary possession of the child,
which it seemed to enjoy, Afterward, how
ever, the father forcibly took possession,
hurrying from the room. He only retained
the child until the afternoon.
Mrs. Congdon gave the following ex-

have treated him as one of my own child
rem. His father, my brother, gave me a
written contract, in which he allowed me
to have full control. His father wanted
that he should not know who his mother
was. So it was necessary for me to tell the
child that / would be mother to him, at
which he signified much pleasure.
II have learned that the father forcibly
possessed himself of the child while the

yesterday. His father is not able to take
care of him and / am"
This statement her daughter, Miss L. II.
Congdon, substantiated, adding also that
during the last two years her mother had
given the boys father about $1,000.
Judge Bahrs thought that the father had
hot taken possession of the child for its
best interests, and accordingly gave it back
to its aunt, who will at once proceed to

reached him. There was third party In
the boat, fisherman named Mike, but he
was in no great danger, as he secured a
comparatively safe position astrlde OF the
keel.
Crennan and Ballard went to the foot OF
Franklin street early in the morning and
hired Mixes fishing-boat for a days sport
with hook and line along the Marin shore.
1t was their intention to meet another
party OF fishers on the bay who had en-
gagged a steam launch. Mike set sail, and
as stiff breeze was blowing the two men
enioyed a lively sail across the bay. The
launch was nowhere to be seen, and as all
the bait and lines were in that craft Bal
lard and Crennan decided to return to San
Francisco. Mike was ordered to turn the
boat back to the city.
As he was doing so a heavy squall struck
the sail, and in an instant the boat was
turned bottom up and the men struggling
in the water.
The other fishing party, Gormley, Wedde
and the two Kochs had anchored their
boat close in shore, and their attention
was called to the men struggling in the
pay by the cries and gestures of some
children on the land.
They cast their lines overheard, to save
the time it would take to wind up, cut the
anchor-rope, for the same purpose, and
pulled for the wrecked boat.
About this time the keeper of the Lime
Point fog-signal station saw the over
turned boat, and the dangerous position of
the men. He gave the whistle signal,
whice told the men at the life-saying sta
ton, situated near Fort Point, that their
services were wanted. Three minutes
alter the small lifeboat was pl owing
through the water.
The rescue though was effected by the
four young men who started out first.
Gormley, in speaking of how he and his
companions saved the drowning men,
modestly said: 1--WE reached the over
turned boat Just in time to save Ballard,
who had become exhausted by his long
struggle to keep his hold upon the keel of
the overturned boat. Crennan was not so
badly used up, and he could have held on
for short time longer.
There was not room in the boat for Mike,
and as he said he could cling to his position
astride the keel Of the overturned craft
Ballard and Crennan were taken to the
shore and cared for at the fog signal sta
ton. A return was made for Mike and he
and his boat were pulled to the shore.
The life-saving crew reached the spot a
few minutes later.
The young men speak very highly of
the quick response the life-saving crew
made to the call for help. OF their own
heroic work they had little to say, and that
little with great modesty. Gormley is a
salesman for George f. Plummer e. Co. at
"a Steuart street. He lives at POOP Taylor

sister Alice and her mother have assumed
the care of the child whom they have
grown to regard almost as their own.
The youngster was taken out for the first
time in months on Friday afternoon. He
was in charge of his cousin, May Kings
bury, who, though IS years old, does not
look more than 10, and Elite Robinson, a
friend of the same age. Evidently the
father had been waiting for them for they
had gone only a short distance when he
ran up behind and seized the boy, attempt
ing to carry him to hack that stood wait
ing.
The little girls cried for him to stop.
~ want my boy" was the answer.
Hes not yours" cried little Miss
Kingsbury. Hes my grandma boy"
She ran to her little cousins aid, but was
roughly thrown to the sidewalk. Nothing
daunted she sprang to her feet and ran at
Gavin, catching her little cousin by the
feet and screaming for help.
The other little girl caught the would-be
kidnaper's coattails with one hand and
beat lively tattoo on his back with her
little fist, as she also screamed. The fright
ened baby joined in the clamor and a
crowd gathered.
Among them were two policemen. The
story of the little girls made the officers
demand of Gavin his authority for taking
the child. BY the order of court which he
showed, they saw that the child had been
given to the mother. But as the father
would not release the youngster, the Off
GERS took Gavin, little Tommy and the two
girls before Judge Murphy, by whom the
order had been made.
In the meantime Oracle Plaisted had
reached the street just in time to see the
queerly assorted crowd disappear. She
ran back and told Miss Nielsen's mother.
The latter promptly proceeded to faint
and was Frustrated with anxiety and grief,
as she thought the baby had been struck
by cable-car and was being carried to the
hospital.
She did not recover till the little girls
came home an hour later with little
Tommy safe and sound. They had been
before the Judge and told their story. He
grasped the situation at once. He saw
that Gavin, who refused to give up the
child, was under the influence of liquor

tectors Now Baby Gavin Is safely domi-

Robbed a Printing Omce.

Ats O'Clock yesterday morning two men en-.
tered the Office of the California Catholic. at
954 Howard street, through its rear entrance
by small alleyway from Natoma street. In
the back room of the building eolored porter
named Jackson was sleeping. One of the men
stood over him with a club and his confederate
went into the printing Office took all the type
in the cases, dumped them on the floor and
''pied" all standing matter on the stone They
then took bottle of benzine and scattered it
all over the premises, after which they took a
number of valuable papers from desk. The
burglars escaped through the front door, which
the pried open. Some twenty cases Of type
were destroyed, and the estimated damage is
$500. Henry l. Fisher, the editor and pub
Usher, stated last evening that despite the
burglary the paper will appear as usual next
Saturday.

Cooney yelled for help, and some men who
were in the saloon of Christensen e.
Meegan on the opposite corner came to
his assistance and the two footpads ran
along Capp street in the direction of
Twenty third.
A tail man who was standing on the OPP
posite side of the street came forward and,
in a tone of authority asked what all the
noise was about. Thinking he was a police
man, Cooney began to explain and the
crowd listened. This was what the tall
man wanted, as it gave his two confed-
crates time to get clear away. Then he
walked hurriedly away before it dawned
upon the minds of Cooney and the others
that he was in the job. Cooney, fortu-
nately, lost nothing.

Crennan.
IN THE BAY OFF LIME POINT
Their Boat Was Upset by Squall.
Rescued by Four Young
Men.

William S. Ballard of 113 Larkin sheet
and E. A. Crenann, who is in real estate
office in the Mills building, had narrow
escape from being drowned in the bay off
Lime Point yesterday about II o'clock.
Their boat was overturned by squall
about mile from the shore, and had it
not been for the heroic efforts of John j.
Gormley, Charles Wedde and W. F. and
H. Koch, the two young men would have
been washed from the boat and persisted
miserably before other help could have ar
rived. As it was Ballard was about to give
up the struggle for life when the rescuers

Rev. Mahlon Wilson's Address to the
Good Citizenship Club.
Rev. Mahlon H. Wilson, pastor of the
Alameda Christian Church, in response to
an invitation issued by the "Good Citizen
ship Club" delivered an interesting lee
ture at Metropolitan Temple yester-
day afternoon. Mr.. Wilson is a pleas
ing speaker. and was fortunate in Sc
lecting so popular theme as "The Church
and Social Reform" In the course of his
remarks the reverend gentleman said:
"The church and social reform, accord
ing to Mr.. Gladstone, is the question occu-
plying the best thought and closest atten-
ton of all religious assemblies in the
United States and Europe. There is but
one question, and that is the gospel This
can and will correct everything needing
correction. My only hope for the world is
the bringing of the human mind into con-
tact with divine revelation.

Little May Kingsbury, the niece of Alice
Nielsen, pretty opera-singer, is at pres

Though only 10 years old she accomplished
by her bravery and perseverance what
many mature women would not have had
the courage to undertake. This was the
prevention of the kidnapping Of her three
year-old cousin, Tommy Gavin, by his
father, Thomas ]. Gavin.
Gavin's wife separated from him some
six months ago. Mrs. Gavin was given
the custody of the child by the court, the
only provision being that it should rot be
taken from the city.
Later Mrs. Gavin, who is also singer
and is known on the stage as Hortense
