FISHERMEN ARE IN LUCK,
Salmon Trout in the Bay and
Around the WharveS in
Quantities.
Fish Weighing All the Way From One
to Eight Pounds Frequently
Caught.

Powell street wharf was crowded with
fishermen yesterday. Not the usual gath
ering that assemblies there almost every
day in the week, but men who have
whipped the best streams in the State for
trout and salmon were there by the dozen,
and some of them made good catches.
They were there in yachts, launches and
rowboats. and all after the succulent sal
mon trout. The fish caught ranged from
one to eight pounds in weight and made a
good game fight before being landed.
For the first time in the history of the
oldest inhabitant around Meiggs wharf
salmon trout had been caught from the
wharves. They have been running quite
freely during the past few days, and many
bamboo rod has been snapped during
the efforts of the fisherman to land his
prey. When the first fish was landed
there was the greatest excitement on the
wharf. Every other fisher dropped his
rod, and the crab-catchers left their nets
to gaze upon the prize. Soon another
trout was caught, and then every bo1y
started in after salmon. The salmon took
the bait readily and by the time it was
slack water some of the fishers had as
many as eight or ten of the speckled
beauties in their baskets.
y
urday's catch. Perhaps it was because so
many lines hung out and perhaps also be-
cause the water was little muddy. The
rain had carried the refuse into the bay.
and far out beyond Powell-street wharf
the mud line extended. Still number of
eight-pounders were caught, and those
who did not succeed said they would wait
for the new tide, and after securing some
sandwiches, sat down to catch rockcod
until the salmon began to run again.
Their patience was rewarded and over
thirty salmon trout were taken durlng the
evening.
Just what is taking the fish along the
wharves seems to be mystery. As a rule
they have always made for the waters of
the Sacramento and San Joaquin, but this
year they seem to keep TO this side of the
bay. One fisherman said yesterday that
the current had been getting very strong
in the direction of Powell. street wharf,
and the food on which the fish feed having
been carried in that direction, they fol-
lowed it.
Anyhow the salmon trout are frequent
ing the vicinity of Powell-street wharf just
now, and there is good, game sport for any
one'who has the time to try it. About 6
O'Clock tonight should see crowd of fish
ermen on the wharf.

POLICEMEN AGITATED.
Speculation as to the Eleven Officers
Who Will Wear the Three
CheyrouS,

When will the new sergeants be ap-
pointed? is the question that is agitating
the minds of the rank and file of the PO-
lice Department. 1t was expected that
the names of the lucky ones would be
made known by the Chief the day follow
ing the appointment Of the new captain
and lieutenants, but it is now said that
they will not be announced till the sew
enty-four new men are all passed by the
physicians of the department.
Twenty-four or nearly one-third of the
men were sent to the physicians Saturday
and should to-day send in reports as to
their fitness physically for the duty of
patrolmen. The others should be all
passed in a few days, so that before the
end of this week or sooner it should be
known who will wear the three blue chew
rons on their sleeves.
Several names of patrolmen are freely
mentioned as being among the fortunate
ones, but as the Chief has SO far said
nothing it would be unfair to give pub
hclty to the reports in circulation.
1t IS not generally known that eleven
new sergeants will be appointed. The or
der reads that the force shall consist of
SIX captains and $50 officers, and of these
latter five shall be lieutenants, forty-three
sergeants, twelve corporals and fifteen de-
tectives. There were thirty eight SER
geant.. but the promotion of Sergeant Gill
lin to be captain and Sergeants Birdsall,
Burke, Bennett, Hannah and Esola to be
heutenants reduced the number to thirty
two, requiring eleven more to make up
the forty-three.
There are now twelve detectives, so that
three more have to be appointed and spec
ulation is rife as to who will be selected.
There are several good men doing detec-
tive duty now although only receiving the
pay OF pa:rolmen, and the three will prob
ably be selected from them.
Captain Gillin has now his headquarters
at Seventeenth and Howard streets, with
Lieutenant Burke as his able second.
Lieutenant Birdsall took charge yesterday
OF the second division of Company A at
the Central police station in succession to
Glllin, and Sergeant Nash was changed to
the watch previously commanded by Bird
sail. Captain Whitman is short of cap
tain to take charge of the watch previously
commanded by Nash.
Captain Gillin's district will be more ex-
tended than was at first mapped out. In
stead of the dividing line being Fifteenth
street. as originally proposed, it Nill now,
it is said, be either Ninth or Tenth street.

matter and the Bear came to San Fran
cisco. A few DAYS later Chester White
ran away with Mabel Howe, alias Mabel
Charming, of "The Passing Show" Com
pany and left bis wife in this City lament
ing.
Saturday evening Captain Healy, driven
almost crazy by the charges hanging over
his head took to drink, and soon he was
ready ito rum not only the Bear but
everything else in San Francisco. His son
happened to be on board at the time, and
as a result of his maneuvering the captain
was got ashore and taken to the Home OF
the Inebriates. There DR.. Potter was in
structed to keep him in safety until the
14th inst.
When he wakes up and finds where he
Is there will be,trouble," was remarked to
the head of the home, who answered,
1--WE have straps" and the grim smile
that accompanied the words told its own
tale.
Such has been the ending of the Bears
cruise.
The revenue cutter arrived here from the
Arctic November IA She lay for several
days in the stream, and it was during that
time that White asked for leave of absence
and ran away with Miss Charming. Later
the Bear was taken to Sausalito and put
into winter quarters. Last Saturday Cap
tain Healy received the notice from the
on waiting orders pending an investiga-
tion," and he then called the crew ait and
told them he was to leave them.
at may be for years and 1t may be for
ever" said he, "but no matter what comes
or goes you have all warm spot in my
heart. Every man has done his duty, and
if | ever go out as commander of the Bear
again l hope every one OF you will be with
me-"
The men cheered and cheered again, be-
cause, no matter how many lows Captain
Healy may have had with his officers, a
more popular commander with his crew
never sailed in an American revenue cut
ter.
After his little speech Captain Healy
went to his cabin and took a drink. One
followed the other and the end soon came.
His son attempted to control him, but
failed, and it was only when he went to
sleep that anything could be done with
him. He was placed in the stern sheets of
one of the boats and rowed ashore and put
aboard the steamer Sausalito.
On arriving on this side there were no
hackmen around, SO Sergeant ]. Hayes Of
the Harbor Police ordered two men to
take hack 311, owned by Tim Donovan.
The two men were Harry English and
"Joe, the baggage-smasher." Assisted by
young Healy, they got the captain into the
hack, and they were ordered 10 drive TO st.
Mary's Hospital. The stay there was
short one, as the management positively
refused to receive the patient.
The physician in charge of the hospital
evidently gave the young man some good
advice, as his next order to English who
was driving, was The Home of the Ine-
briate''
On arriving there an interview with DIR.
Potter ensued, and the conversation as
quoted above followed. The hack was
driven to the side entrance, and the most
skillful navigator IN the United States
revenue marine was taken inside.
From the home the hack took the cap
tain's son to the Occidental Hotel where
the fare was paid and the story ended.
Captain Healy's hat was left in the bottom
of the hack and is now in the possession
of the driver.

He Was Taken to the Home OF
the InebriateS From the
Bear.
BADE HIS CREW FAREWELL.
The. Charges Brought Against Him
Seem to Have Turned His
Brain.

The cruise of the United States revenue
cutter Bear to the Arctic seems to have
been very unfortunate one and the end
disastrous Captain NJ. A. Healy and
Lieutenant Chester White were "at outs"
from the start and so there was trouble.
White was disrated and sent to his cabin.
He then accused the commander of drunk
enness and conduct unbecoming an officer
and a gentleman. Some of the other off,
GERS of the revenue feet sympathized with
White, and charges against the captain
were formulated and forwarded to Wash
ington from Alaska.
For a time that was the last heard of the

Sensational Sermons.

Rev. o. II. Gruver, the newly elected
pastor of the First England Lutheran
Church, delivered his formal introd uctory
sermon yesterday morning. His subject
was "Prea ching Jesus"
After explaining the circumstances OF
the text and its import and meaning he
said:
"ln these times of progress, when old
landmarks are torn down, when. something
new and novel is called for, when the sem
sational, the pleasurable, and the material
things are In universal demand, when at
Jesus rather than toward him, it is not
only proper but most fitting that we have
our attention called to preaching Jesus
and the Gospel"
He inquired what preaching Jesus
meant. @On this" he said, ''all ministers
agree theoretically, but differ almost as
much as day and night pracucally. Some
are sensational, some rhetorical. but sem
sation and rhetoric are not Jesus. Preach
ing Jesus is preaching salvation in his
name, preaching his code of morality,
preaching his kingdom and working with
mind and heart and hand for its accom-
plishment. Such preaching is not opposed
to rhetoric, but above it, while sensational
preaching never touches even one of the
cardinal points of the Gospel.
1--WE do not preach the most powerful
sermons with words, but with acts. Peter
professed Ioudest, but he denied his Lord.
Less boastful profession and more atten-
ton to duty is what is needed"

since the visit of Mr.. Wells to obtain him
as our own. The trustees wrote to him OF
this desire, and he teiegraphed his accept
ance, afterward sending a formal accept
ance by letter. 1t now remains Tor the
congregation to ratify by vote the selection
OF the trustees

BURGLARS AT WORK.
Attempt to Enter a Grocery on Larkin
and O'FarreII Streets.

Attempt to Enter Grocery on Larkin
and O'Farrel1 Streets.
Burglars made bold attempt to break
into the grocery of A. Simon on the north
west corner of O'Farrell and Larkin streets
at an early hour yesterday morning.
The panels covering the glass on the
front door had been removed and the glass
cut with a diamond. In attempting to
unfasten the door through the hole made
in the glass the burglar had pressed his
arm too heavily on the glass, breaking it.
The noise of the breaking glass evidently
frightened the burglars away.
The attempt was reported to headquar-
ters by Policeman Sawyer and sharp
lookout will be kept for the burglars.
Some time ago the same grocery was
visited by burglars and nearly everything
portable carried away.

Some sweet little children, their Master to

Had worked very hard, and as busy as bees.
And joyfully saw their money increase.
Until they had gained adollarapece.
And you should have seen as they came to our
door,
The sweet happy smile each one OF them bore,
And how so innocent, loving and glad,'
They gave to their pastor all that they had.
You too should have seen the pleasing
surprise
Ne could not, nor did not attempt to disguise
That sweet little children, so young and so
fair.
Should thus for his comfort so tenderly care.
The nice little pieces we heard them repeat
With voices so tender and accents so sweet,
Was richer, by far. than music to hear
And gave us the feeling that angels were near.
There is nothing so lovely on land or on sea
As sweet little children all happy and free
SO free from all care. active and gay,
so sweetly they trust you in all that you say

While here upon earth HI consented to dwell,
