slider what action should be taken with re-
gard to the affairs of the Presbyterian or
gan, the Occident.
The paper is in a state of bankruptcy,
Rev. J. A. Merrill, the editor and propri-
etor, having gone to New York, where he
will probably remain. It was stated sew
eral times at the meeting that Mr.. Merrill
had left the floating debts behind him and
had taken the subscription list with him.
Rev. Mr.. Thomson of Modesto, who has
assumed temporary charge of the Occident,
said if the paper could be tided over the
next two months it would be possible to
raise an endowment fund.
DR.. Noble Of San Jose urged "the Pres
byterians are not responsible for what has
been done by the private parties who
owned and managed the Occident.

lishment of another Presbyterian paper,
but l do not think We are under any obi

els the Occident dead?" asked Rev.
Hanson Irwin. eff it is 1 can speak for
somebody who will start new paper"
alt is a corporation, said Elder James
Roberts; "let the Occident go into bank
ruptcy."
This was followed by discussion in
which H. B. Smith, DR.. Rice and Elder
Jacks took part.
1t was finally resolved that the sense of
the meeting was in favor of Presbyterian
paper being published on the Pacific
Coast, and resolved also that committee
of five be appointed to inquire into affairs
as they now exist.
The following were appointed: A. Rails
ton. Elder Jacks, DR.. Coyle, DR.. Noble and

Previous to the discussion on the affairs
of the Occident broad-minded and inter
esting paper on The Meaning and Pur-

METHODIST PREACHERS.
The Brethren Did Not Wish to Hear Rev.
Henry Varley.


At the Methodist preachers meeting
yesterday DR.. Goodwin inquired why Ro-
man Catholic priests were exempt from
polltax and taxes on personal property
while Protestant ministers had to pay the
same. The doctor offered resolution pro-
testing against this distinction. The mat
ter was laid over pending Investigations
and DR.. Goodwin was appointed commit
tee of one to make inquiries on the subject
and report to the meeting.
Dr. Baker stated that deputy Tax Col
lector had let him off the payment of the
polltax when he pleaded that he was a
minister.
Dr.. Ollie expressed the belief that Catho-
lie church property was not assessed at it's
value.
A resolution was made by DR.. Ollie to
invite Rev. Henry Marley. the evangelist,
to address the club.
DR.. Bailey strongly opposed this motion
on the grounds that the evangelist's ideas
were not consistent with Methodism.
After discussion the motion YVES with

INDORsED SUFFRAGE.
Susan B. Anthony Won the Support of the
Oonsre gational Club.

Congre gational Club.
The speakers at the Congregational Mon
day Club yesterday afternoon were Susan
B. Anthony and Rev. Anna Shaw
Susan B. Anthony spoke upon how the
world had changed since her young days,
when women were always suppressed by
st. Paul's words about keeping silence in
the churches. ut seems to me that all
great ethical and religious questions now
wait till woman shall be heard. Women
must be put in the position in which their
opinions are weighed at the ballot box,
exactly as men are. All the great material
interests of the country have friends at the
ballot-box to watch their interests, while
the religious, social and charitable institu-
tons, which women largely represent, are
not protected at the ballot-box, so that the
Government stands in the position of pro-
tecting the material interests of the Nation
and neglccting its moral, religious and
social institutions"
Miss Anthony paid glowing tribute to
the late Women's Congress, saying that it
would do much toward turning the public
sentiment in the right direction and giving
women their just power.
Rev. Anna III. Shaw opened her speech
by describing how her fellow-students in
the theological seminary had tried to throw
cold water on her desire to become one of
the clergy.
She aroused prolonged laughter by her
account of the arguments brought up
against her ordination. lone deacon with
eagernes. quoted, Wives, obey your hus-
bands but said. That does not apply to
me; am not a wife And so they quib-
bled, and there were all sorts of trifiing
arguments brought up, just as there are to-
day against granting women the franchise,
and yet there never was time when the
Government needed the vote of the best
element more than it does to-day.
1--WE are asking the simplest thing in the
world-either change your constitutions or
live up to them. All that has ever been
asked is that the Government shall be
true to it's principles; it must rest upon
the consent of the governed, and this
means the womenkind as we'll as the men,
kind
At the conclusion of the address, Pro-
lessor Lloyd moved that the club present a
hearty vote of thanks to the two ladies for
their bic addresses.
DR.. G. O. Brown said that if there was
time he would move an amendment to in
dorse suffrage. There were cries of II sec
ond the amendment" from all over the
hall, and DR.. Brown having stated the
amendment Professor Lloyd accepted it,
and vote and amendment were carried by
reclamation.

FOUGHT IT TO A FINISH.
Ed Cuff, the Potrero Pet, Badly
Punished by Con Ryan
on Sunday.
A Fight In a Barn on the San Bruno
Road Which Nearly Ended
Seriously.

lively fist-hght took place on Sunday
morning in the barn of the Golden CITY
House on the old San Bruno road Con
Ryan from Bernal Heights and Ed Cuff of
the Potrero were the participants. The
fight only lasted five rounds, Ryan making
g chopping- block of the Potrero favorite.
After the battle Cuffs friends claimed that
their man had not been accorded fair
treatment, and the affair came very near
winding up in an all-round row.
At an early hour teams of all descrip-
tons began to arrive at the barn, and by 8
O'Clock there was long string of them in
front of the roadhouse. The sportiyely in
clined gentlemen paused to moisten their
clay at the bar, and then made for the
barn. A 24-foot ring had been put up.
Chairs and bottles occupied two corners of
the ring, and there was businesslike air
about the interior. 1t was o'clock before
the contestants appeared, by which time
the barn was full OF sports and smoke.
Gloves were dispensed with, the fighters
facing each other stripped to the waist and
with bare knuckles. AT the call of time
. the men sailed in. There were no fancy
feints. Each man had blood in his eve
and they went at it hammer and tones

which drew out many enconiums from the

two men mixed things with the referee for
the rest of the round. For five rounds
Bernal Heights and the Potrero were yery
badly confused with the heights on TOP
most of the time, and the men around the
ring who hailed from the hills howIed
themselves hoarse with wild delight. In

buggy.
