Saturday, but the men were not allowed on
board. The union spread the report that
there was trouble on board, and as the re-
port gained currency nothing was lost in

at Union-street wharf yesterday, and Cap
tain Culley stated that there was no truth
in the rumor-that there had been no men
in irons, but that on the contrary the crew
was one of the best he had ever had. The
reason he had not allowed the sailors on
board, he said, was that he wanted the
crew to stay by the ship until she was
locked and the sails unbent. He was
afraid that if the union men or the rumors
got on board the crew would be constrained
to desert.
''rhe shipowners are very we'll satisfied

rotary Matthew yesterday. There are
plenty of men to be had outside of the

been delayed. The boarding houses are

AT THE TEMPLE EMANUEL.
Rabbi Voorsangsr On "SOme Suggestions Of
the Passover.

Rabbi Voorsanger On Some Suggestions OF
the Passover
Preaching at the Temple Emanuel. DR..
Voorsanger said that sit was extraordinary
to observe how, in the course Of centuries,
there have accumulated so many interpre-
tations regarding Passover. The celebra-
ton of to-day does not differ in its main
characteristics from that of olden days.
The representations of the Paschal Lamb
are still upon our tables, as are many Of the
agricultural emblems; but as regards the
Interpretation of the feast, it seems that
the rabbis of Israel in the olden times were
quite as liberal as we can undertake to be
to-day. The Interpretation of anything
necessarily indicates an Independent course
of thought. The interpretations OF men
regarding certain subjects become different
in course of time, therefore the idea of the
Passover itself must have undergone nu-
merous changes in regard to the principles
upon which it rests"
''The feast of Passover" continued DR..
Voorsanger "besides being an historical
festival, is an agricultural one. 1t was so
observed in Palestine, and in the modern
celebration we have the two suggestions
the historical and the agricultural. One of
the strangest features of the Passover is
that it can be interpreted in so many ways.
The ancient rabbis thought that the feast
is the herald of change, an emblem of
the law of change that is given 10 the
world by the law of God-from spring to
summer and from summer to winter.
Birth, growth, development, decline,
death but it does not stop there, for out of
that comes life again. We see that in ma
ture, where there is no death, but everlast-
ing change, the change of light and dark
ness and of day and night. Yet is there
no death, for death means destruction, and
God destroys nothing"
DR.. Voorsanger concluded with some re-
marks on the doctrine of the Hebrews con-
corning the resurrection.

WANT A PER DIEM RATE,
Annual Gathering of the Car
Accountants ASSOCi-
alton To-Day.
Men Who Control a Million and a
Half Cars Belonging to Vari-
Gus Companies.

The International Association of Car
Accountants meet in annual convention in
this city this morning in the maple room
of the Palace Hotel. Most of the delegates
came in yesterday on a special train from
the south.
These car accountants are the men who,
for their respective roads, have charge of
the handling of the car equipment. They
attend to the distribution of cars for load
ing, order fast freight by telegraph, keep
track of where cars go to from their own
lines and keep account of the miles travl
eled by cars of other lines on theirs, so as
to make the proper credits.
If a carload of freight is sent by the
Pennsylvania Railway Company in one of
their cars to San Francisco, that company
would receive the full rate of freight over
its own line and mills per mile for each
mile passed over on the other lines on its
way to this city. With nearly million
and half of freightcars to look after in
this country it will be seen that the car ac-
countants of the country have something
to do.
This is the twentieth annual convention
of the association, whose members include
the accountants of all the roads of i'm
portance in the United States and Canada.
The special train with the delegates and
the ladies accompanying them, numbering
nearly $50 in all, arrived in San Diego last
Friday, where William Mckay, the car ac-
countant of the Southern Pacific, assumed
charge of the excursion and took them to
Los Angeles, Riverside Redlands, Pasa-
dena, Santa Monica, Fresno and other
places in the south. The party was at the
Raymond Hotel at the time of the fire.
and two members lost ali their baggage
and valuables.
The convention will be in session to-day
and tomorrow. The principal question to
come up will be the proposition to make
change IN the way of charging for use of
cars from six-tenJhs OF cent per mile to a
per diem rate. A change of this sort would
be OF benefit to some roads and cause loss
to others. The final settlement, however
will rest with the general managers
Colonel John P. Irish will deliver an
address OF welcome at tomorrow meet
ing. On "Wednesday evening General N.
Z. Chapman will give an address on tsCali-
fornia." On Thursday morning Mr.. Nc
Kay will take them down to Monterey,
after which they will be driven about to
the principal points of interest at San lose
by the citizens and on Friday the Half
million Club will take them for an excur-
sion on the bay in the tug Fearless, which
has been placed at their disposal by John
ID. Spreckels. AT SausaIito they will be
given reception by Commodore Caduc at
the San Francisco Yacht Clubs house.
On Saturday they will be given recep-
ton at the State Board of Trade by Mr..
Fllcher, and after trip through the Park
to the Cliff they will leave for the north at

The new law regarding the closing of
barber-shops on Sunday is creating a con-
siderable amount of discussion among the
BARRIERS, although there seems to be no alb
solute antagonism to it. The interests of
the different shops vary, but what obiec-
ton there is to the law does not come from
those shops which will be least benefited
by its passage.
There is no question of the value of the

the shops nor among the owners of shops

END AND AIM OF LIFE.
Rabbi N. s. LEWIS Sermon at the Temple
Beth Israel.

Rabbi NJ s. LEWIS Sermon at the Temple
Beth Israel.
Preaching at the Geary-street Temple
yesterday, Rabbi Levy based his discourse
on "The End and Aim Of Life" Taking
his text from Psalm cxxxviii, verse 4, the
Rabbi said:
The end and aim of life is the subject that I
desire to engage your minds on this seventh
day of the Passover. The end for which a be-
ing is created must be determined by its ma
ture. In proportion as we know the powers
properties and structure of the various orders
of creation we are prepared to comprehend the
good for which they are seYerally designed In
regard to inferior creatures, plant or animal,
their end is easily understood, on account of
the comparative simplicity of their constituent
elements, and because they obey unerringly
the laws of their existence.
But when we come to consider man we are
beset with difficulties. Man is not simple in
his organic elements. He unites in himself
two natures apparently quite dissimilar-the
physical and the spiritual. He is not by neees-
eity subjected to the laws OF the universe. He
has inward freedom; freedom of villa power
of following the law of his own mind in oppo-
sition to all outward impulses. Accordingly
what infinite variety there is in human pur-
guitsl What vastness of desire and enterprise
What q contrast between the unchanging in
stincts of the brute and the tumultuous con-
flicts, hopes and fears, thoughts and boundless
aspirations of the human SOUL
How then shall we determine the end OF the
human being? Why was he made-this mys-
FERROUS creature-driyen by so many impulses
gifted with such diverse powers, and free to
turn them in such countless directions? 1t has
sometimes been said to mans reproaeh that he
is doomed to more servile toll than the beast of
the field; that no creature is so plainly marked
out for work as he; that on no other does the
burden rest so heavily. He must earn his bread
by the sweat of his brow. But in this work he
puts forth faculties of which no animal shows a
trace. To procure subsistence, COM
fort and pleasure for the body the human
intellect has explored all Kingdoms of
nature; penetrated the mind, traversed
the sky with instruments of vision to
find q guidance across the sea, analyzed
the constituent elements of all substances
risen to a perception of the great laws which
guide the universe. For the sake of preserving
the body, in word, mind has expended an
intellectual energy boundless and expansive
as the universe itself. Can we bring ourselves
to believe, then, that this mind was made only
for the body; the greater for the lesser; the I'M
limited and ever growing spirit for short
lived organization of dust? Can it be that a
power OF intellect unmeasured and ex-
haustless in its ranges has been brought into
being merely to drudge for an animal exist

We're appointed to form a committee to
look after the enforcement of the new law.
In speaking of the law Mr.. Seppich said:
This new section will work hardship on
no one and will make things much easier for
the ]ourneymen BARRIERS. Some shops have
been IN the habit of keeping open after II
oGlock on Sundays and that has COM
PEELED others; then the hours were ex-
tended little more, until up to a short
time ago number of the shops kept open
until O'Clock every Sunday. 1t was these
that the law was especially directed at.
Inere has been practically no complaint
since the regulation went into effect, and
those we expected would object the most
have given us least trouble. There can be
no doubt of the benefit of the law, but
the trouble has always been that the shops
would not stayed together. If one shop de-
clded to close at II o'clock and another
a little farther up the street kept open, the
hrst man was compelled TO keep open, too.
we expected the most complaint from the
motel BARRIERS, and particularly from the
SHOPS which are located in the hotels
which catch the transient trade; sucir
hotels, for instance, as the Baldwin, Pal
ace Occidental and the Russ. Frequently
the overland trains arrive in time to bring
the guests to the hotels just before l.
O'CLOCK on Sundays. Unless they hurry
right down to the shop they must go with
out a shave or shave themselves, but here
AFTER the clerk at the desk can inform any
guest who needs the services of a barber
that he must apply at once.

OFFICIALS FALL OUT,
A Santa Fe Company's Agent Was Re-
fused Pass on the Fiesta
Train.

Some of the Santa Fe Railroad officials in
this city were very angry yesterday over
an encounter with the passenger depart
ment of the Southern Pacific.
They desired to SEND an agent on the
Fiesta excursion train that he might pre-
vail on the Half-million Club and other ex-
cursionists to travel over the Southern
California Railroad, which is popularity
known here as the Santa Fe line. Assist
ant General Passenger Agent Perkins of
the Santa Fe was selected for the work
He went to the Southern Pacific office, but
was refused transportation courtesy
generally extended by one railroad com
pany to another. And that is why the
railroad men were indignant.
The Santa Fe people say that San Diego
guaranteed to entertain the Half million
Club with carriage rides, trips round the
bay and to Sweetwater dam and a public
reception in the evening. Besides, the
Coronado Hotel offered special rates for
the party.
But the Southern Pacific does not want
the club TO see all of Southern California, ,"
said Assistant Passenger Agent Speers.
1--WE wanted to take them around the
kite track, through the Riverside orange
district to San Diego and Redondo, but
these places were not mentioned by the
club, and the Southern Pacific did not
want US to show the beauties of the south.
That is what it means-refusing to allow
Mr. Perkins on the excursion train unless
he paid his fare. They would not even
accept single fare to Los Angeles. Their
action is extraordinary, to say the least"
In the Southern Pacific Office it was
learned that the Santa Fe request was not
made officially, and that the Half-million
Club leaders said they did not wish to be
disturbed by railway agents while on
pleasure bent

A sWITGHMAN'S DEATH.
Eight Thousand Dollars Damages
Against the Southern Pacific.

Eight Thousand Dollars Damages
Against the Southern Pacific.
In Judge Sanderson's court Lillian
Holmes recovered $4,000 damages in her
suit against the Southern Pacific Company
for causing the death of her husband, Will
liam E. Holmes.
Holmes was switchman, an old railroad
employee, who entered the employ of the
company August Ii, 1894.
On September 81, 1894, about dusk, in
the Peralta yards at West Oakland he re-
ceived injuries resulting in his death on
September %.
The deceased, it was shown on the trial,
had gone to a boXcar standing on the track
for the purpose of making a coupling with
a flatcar, which was moved back for the
purpose. The drawhead of the tiatcar was
so far above the standard height that in
stead of meeting the drawhead of the box
car it rode over it, and crushed the switch
man.
The suit was hard fought. 1t came on
first on April 7, when the Jury was

and other parts OF the service, Miss Mill
cent Flynn and Miss Ella Y. McCloskey,

formed their parts in an admirable manner.
DR.. Jacob Nieto discussed the question
whether the present age is or is not ma
terialistic one. He said:
The charge Of materialism leveled against
the present and the rising generation is IN
founded, and further thatit cannot possibly be
Substantiated Tony mind the statements no
more true to-day that we are degenerating into
materialism than 1t was a century ago, and 1t
seems peculiar to me that in the face of the I'M
controvertible evidence to the contrary any
one can hold the opinion that we are deterior
adng morally.
ltIf all the forebodings and prophecies of the
seers of old have been fulfilled, then we to-day
are sunk into perdition. II all the foreshadOw-
ings of the cynics and pesslmists of the last few
centuries are realized to-day, then we are a
people entirely bereft OF spiritual aspiration.
Are we less spiritual because we can compre-
bend truth without any material vehicle
being found necessary? Are we to-day only
blocks and stones because we can conceive
through our reason the principles which in
former years were possible to the conception
only through the material accessories by which
it was sought to affect the mind through the
senses? Do we love and admire virtue less?
Is vice less loathsome in our eyes? Have we
depraved the ideals of the past, or have we not
sought to brighten every ethical truth, every
righteous and moral principle, every human
sentiment, every Godlike impulse:
and behold our form of worship he would term
us heather. Were the old Roman devotee of
the host of Olympus to observe US he would
marvel that we had not been exterminated by
the strong right arm OF Jove. To take into ac-
count the outcries OF the various agitators that
have descended, upon the general immortality
of the human family, one is astounded that the
world still continues to exist

empaneled. 1t was continued two DAYS
when the testimony of Mrs Holmes was
given and the dispositions of J. H. Ross
and H. W. Bell, two felIow-laborers of the
deceased, were read. Upon the showing
made the plaintiff, represented by Messrs
Delmas & Shortridge, rested.
The railroad by its attorneys Messrs. J.
c. Campbell and c. L. Alderman, moved
for a nonsuit. This motion was over
ruled. 1t was renewed when the defend
ants testimony was completed and was
again denied.
Yesterday the final arguments were
made by Messrs. Delmas and Alderman
and the case submitted to the jury at 80
P. NJ. After being out about three hours a
verdict for the plaintiff for $4,000 was
returned.
