The Japanese treasurer read his report
in English, from which it was shown that
the lot cost $12, 900, the building $1,000 and
equipment $500. The treasurer said |:
1--WE are still under the yoke of debt $1,000. :"
A blackboard was then brought out. On
it were squares in which were figures-30
%, 10, 5, 3, 2 and 1. The aggregate amount
represented in the squares was $500.
When any one contributed $25 % square
was crossed, and so on down to 1. When
every square is marked out the debt to the
amount represented on the board is liqui-
dated. Yesterday morning S125 was raised,
and during the afternoon about $500 more
! was contributed.

GOOD SAMARITANS.
An A1I-Day Celebration of the First
Anniversary of Their
Mission.

An all-day celebration of the first ami,
versary of the Mission of the Good Samari-
tan took place yesterday at the Church
Missions House, corner OF Second and
Folsom streets.
Rev. w. L. Kip Jr. OBLIGATED at the day
service and Bishop Nichols spoke in the
evening. The Bishop sought to explain to
his hearers the simple manner of compre-
hending the personality of the Holy
Ghost leading up to the conclusion that
the anniversary celebration in which they
were engaged represented the influence OF
the holy spirit.
The mission, which is conducted under
the direction of the Episcopal Church, has
accomplished much good during the past
year. Clothing, provisions and medicines
have been distributed to the needy and
many of the children of the neighborhood
have found shelter and instruction at the
MISSIONS house. So much interest has
been stimulated in the work that seventy
five families are represented in the attend
ance Of meetings.

house number 165. They have been Sc
lected from 900 in that quarter of the City.
Their department in the library, reading
rooms and gymnasium is highly creditable.
The mission work occasionally arouses
the antagonism of the hoodlums in that
nelghborhood, and they express their dis
pleasure by throwing rocks and iron mis-.
siles through the windows. The superin-
tendent has caused several arrests to be
made, and did receive assurance in Judge
CampbelPs court that a police officer
should attend every meeting. Last night
a policeman on duty in the neighborhood
was asked to remain but declined to do so
giving as his reason for declining that he
had no orders from his sergeant to remain

Amsterdam. Jerry got ashore yesterday
and proceeded to have a good time. He
entered saloon on Broadway, near Bat

to be obtained in that neighborhood. He
had INDUCED previously, hence his ap-
pearance on the sidewalk in a battered
condition was no surprise to the neigh
bors. 1t was to two of his shipmates,
Peter Vanderkly and R. Hartman, who
happened along as Jerry landed.
The PROSTATE man informed his mates
that he had been whipped and proposed
to clean out the place. Sailor-like the two
consented and the trio entered the saloon.

merry time the vacqueros of Butcher
town had yesterday afternoon at J. w.
Wilson's, on the San Bruno road. They
are in their glory when astride their
broncos, lariat in hand, and it was their
day for recreation and fun, of which they
had plenty.
There were horseraces, lassoing contests,
feats In Craftsmanship and everything with
saddle pony which could make cowboy
yell with wild delight. When Frank Roges
got tired OF picking up small objects and
even n1ckels from the ground while his
horse was on dead run Tapideros Stewart

was another living example of the power
OF the gospel, giving evidence of the adj
vance of the truth. The great problem of
the worlds salvation was study of deep
and absorbing interest. No man can read
the history of the world intelligently un-
less he perceives in it the methods of God.
In the line of his splendid promises and
providences for the salvation of the people

Rev. DR.. Ollie, pastor of the Central M E.
Church, was the next speaker. He OBJ
served that the instinct of religious
worship was longing OF the human soul.
Where there is a migratory instinct there
is climate to match. Where there is the
universal cry of human soul for God a
personal God lives to respond to it.
Religion is not device of priestcraft, and
the church is not, as some people aver, a
ferry-boat charging toll to carry passengers
over. 1t might be said that bread is a
device OF bakers, but it existed and was
demanded before bakers were known. We
should appreciate worship of God whether

In closing DIR. Ollie related beautiful
