MAMIE PAYNE FERGUSON,
The Missionary From Southern
California at the ST. Paul
Mission.
A Solemn Warning to Those Who
Have Not the Spirit of
Holiness.

Mrs. Mamie Payne Ferguson, mission
airy from Los Angeles and Southern Cali
fornia, conducted the service last evening
in st. Paul Mission, on Mission street,
between Fifth and Sixth, where for some
time past revival services have been held.
There was a large congregation, and it
was an earnest one, which took lively in
terest in the sermon preached by the
visiting missionary.
Mrs. Ferguson, woman little above
the medium height, somewhat stout and
attired in very plain suit of black, is a
fluent speaker, never at a loss for words to
express her ideas. 81 know but very few
faces here" she said, "but wish to say
that / will conduct this service after my
own fashion. AS cannot call any one by
name / will ask some brother who is in
touch with the Lord and with the throne
to lead in prayer"
Mrs. Ferguson took for her text the
story of the ten virgins who went to watch
for the coming OF the bridegroom.
This the preacher said applied to people

|SAACS is SUSPENDED,
The Harbor Commissioners
Lay the Collector Off for
Nine Days.
Bonds for State Employes-Adver
Using Signs at the Ferry
Must Go.

! The proceedings of the Board of State
Harbor Commissioners were somewhat en-
| livened Yesterday by the investigation OF
the charges of INSTRUMENTATION made
against Alfred Isaacs, collector at Main
street wharf, wherein he had been accused
of making remarks rejecting upon the
board in relation to a so-called LOB" in
the purchase OF the new uniforms for
wharfngers and collectors along the water
front in the employ of the State. lsaacs,
it will be rememb ered, said that men had
been hanged on less evidence than that
which showed that there was job in the
uniform business.
Isaacs was on hand and was examined
by TREY L. Ford.
The attorney asked him if he had used
the words which had been attributed to
him in the CALL.
He admitted that he had, and was then
asked what he meant by them.
"Oh, l meant them in a general way, "
replied Isaacs; that is what l heard. I
have heard several people express dis
satisfaction at the manner of purchasing
the new suits from Pascal, the tailor. Mr..
Boobar ordered me to go to Pascal.

could get them cheaper elsewhere.

Pascal, asked Mr.. Ford.
well, every body understood that they
were to 90 there thought some one was
making money out of it. [ know others
who have made more specific charges than
| have. Jack Hayes and a man named
Levi can tell you more about it than can.
Levi told me that Wharfinger Buckley in
formed him Boobar was making a piece
out of the thing. l can also name many
others who would testify to the same con-
dition of things"
"Oh, we are not trying the whole water
front :" interrupted Commissioner Cole.
well" said Isaacs. "Mr. Buckley said
hat Boobar had told him that he was
under obligations to Pascal and he wanted
the men to 90 to the tailor for their suits.
l went there with Wharfnger Lysett and
asked to see the goods. Pascal refused to
show me a sample of the goods, so L left
and bought ready-made suit"
Were you directed to any placer asked
Chairman Colnon.
"No, sir. l bought my ready-made suit
for SIS"
"Wel," asked the chairman, twas there
any foundation for the charges which you
made against this board?"
mo, not directly" replied Isaacs, "but
if you give me chance | will bring others
here who will testify to the same thing"
After few more questions the examine
ton was concluded, and on motion of Com
missioner Chadbourne Isaacs was sus-
pended for nine days without pay, which
will mean pecuniary loss of $50.
1t was intimated by the chairman that if
any other State employe on the water front
makes similar remarks about the board his
dismissal would follow.
1t was decided after some discussion that
in future all employees of the board should
give bonds indorsed by some reliable surety
company.
1t was also resolved that all advertising
signs around the ferry depot should be
removed. The board then adjourned until
tomorrow at l P. NJ

DICK HEATH'S REPUTATION
A Large Number Of Fresno
Residents Testify That
1t Is Bad.
His Suit Against the EXAMINER"
Draws a ThrOng of
Spectators.

The suit of Richard Heath against the
Examiner for libel in having published an
account of a fracas at the Grand Hotel bal
in which it was alleged that Heath wa:
concerned continued to attract large at
tendance at Judge Hunts courtroom yes
terday. One of the attractions was the
presence of well-known counsel, Garret
McEnerney and Grove Johnson appearing
for the defendant, while the plaintiff wa.
represented by w. H. L. Barnes.
Almost the whole of yesterday was con-
sumed in the taking of testimony for the
defense showing the general bad reputa.
ton of Plaintiff Heath. A large number
of witnesses from Fresno, some of whom
figured in the famous Heath trials at that
place, were subpenaed, and their evidence
was practically unanimous that in gen.
eral way Heath's name did not command
respect in their midst.
After C. NJ. Coe, an Examiner reporter
had told his story of the recital of the ac.
count complained of the following wit
Mrs. l.. J. Craycroft, G. J. Craycroft, J. w
Douglass, l.. Burkes, Albert Dilley, c. w
Garrett, w. Shaw, NJ. S. Rose, L. Haas, J
w. Shanklin, F. S. Cowan, Taylor Albip
F. ]. Burleigh, S. s. Croucher, S. c. St
John, F. T. Hilton, B. w. Doyle.
All these witnesses hailed from Fresno
and ALL with the exception OF +. S. Cowen,
a hotel-keeper, who did not know much
about Heath, testified that the latter repu
tation for peace and sobriety was bad. The
monotony of the evidence was only varied
by tits between the opposing counsel. At
torneys Johnson and McEnerney retained
Detective c. j. Stiliwell in close attendance
throughout the day.
Most of the witnesses knew that Heath
bore a bad reputation and cited their
knowledge of his associates and habits.
Under cross examination by General
Barnes they were often hard pressed to
specify the exact persons who told them
these things and the exact dates and places
of the information communicated. Among
his associates were mentioned John DAILY,
Senator Goucher, Reel Terry, Billy Levi
son and others. 1t was endeavored to
show that he had been concerned in dis
reputable fights and had been seen in aues-
tionable places, but not all the facts sought
to be introduced before the jury were held
relevant by the court.
A. B. Henderson, managing editor of the
Examiner, was called to testify to the high
reputation of G. M. Coe as a newspaper
man. General Barnes waived cross-ex-
animation and the case went over to this
morning.

of the present time, to those who are wait
ing for the second coming of Christ. The
lamp, she said, was the heart, and the oil
was the spirit of holiness that burned
within it. She wanted to know how many
there were who had the lamp but not the
oil, and in most fervent manner urged
her hearers to fill those lamps with oil SO
as to be ready to meet the bridegroom, who
is coming in little while. BY the BRIDE
groom she said she meant Christ. "Why,"
said the preacher, 81 was in my little room
in Los Angeles few days since washing
my hands, when l looked out of an east
window and saw bright light. In mo-
ment l thought that Christ was coming
/ was ready to meet him, and was so glad
that could have jumped out of that win
dow / only cite this to show that we
should be ready at all times to receive the
bridegroom, who is surely coming" The
force Of her sermon was to show that those
who are not prepared will like the foolish
virgins be shut out not from the feast, but
from eternal salvation and Joy everlasting
in the new Jerusalem.
In giving her testimony after the SER
mon, Mrs. Ferguson said that she would
not give nickel for deed to the city of
San Francisco if she did not feel that she
was certain of going into the presence of
Jesus. II would not mind having the
Palace Hotel as place to hold revival
services in, but 1 care not for the pomp
and vanities of the world. All / want is
something to eat and something to wear
but am not very particular as to either.
have been asked to accept presents, but
have always refused them, as 1 have no
use for them. / want Jesus, and say to
all, Take the world, but give me Jesus.
Do as l have done. Get full of the spirit
of Jesus and you'll have camp meeting
in vo11r bea rtS for all timen
During the evening many arose and gave
testimony of their belief in the coming of
the Lord in little while.
This evening Evangelist III. Lawson of
Santa Clara will preach, and tomorrow
night DIR. P. Brett Morgan will address the
congregation.

HIS DEFENSE THE TRUTH.
Charles NJ. Shortridge Answers the
Libel Suit of j. G. Chase.

In the case of John G.. Chase, a contractor,
against Charles M. Shortridge, proprietor
of the San Francisco CALL, for libel the de-
fendant yesterday filed answer.
He admitted the publication of the arti-
Gle complained of in the CALL of February
8 last, and denied that it was false or I'M
privileged, or that to his knowledge and
