and the pastor entered, followed by his
flock
Every seat in the large auditorium was
filled, and many were unable to obtain ad-
mittance.
The exercises within the church were
largely choral. The music from the new
and augmented choir was exceptionally
good. The pastor delivered an eloquent
sermon consecrating the house to God
The church has one of the finest audito-
RUINS in the city, and was tastefully deco
rated by the ladies of the congregation
with palms and flowers.
st. Mark is the oldest German Luther-
an church in the State, and has large and

FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE.
SIX HOODLUMS ATTACKED SIMON
ABRAHAM IN A DARK
ENED ROOM.
He USED A KNIFE WITH SUCH
EFFECT THAT THEY
REITERATED.

A fight for life in darkened room at &c
Moss street occurred about l O'Clock YES.
terday morning between Simon Abraham
and six hoodlums and Abraham came Out
of it almost without scratch
There was a wedding in the house oppo.
site and Louisa McNicol, young girl liv-
ing in the rear, was sitting on the steps
listening to the music. James Mccarthy
and William O'Connor made an insulting
remark to the girl and she retorted. Nc
earthly struck her in the face several times
and Abraham ran downstairs and tackled
Mccarthy and O'Connor for abusing the
girl. He had the best of the fight and Nc
Carthy and O'Connor vowed that thew
would be even with him.
They obtained reinforcement from
others OF the gang, including Tom Mason,
745 Brannan street, and George HAYES
The six gathered in front of Abraham
house and dared him to come outside
Abraham told them to go away as he was
going to bed.
Finding they could not get Abraham to
come outside they forced open the front
door and made their way upstairs Abra-
ham heard them coming, and, knowing
that..they would kill him if they could, he
backed up against the wall of his room,
opened the large blade of his penknife and
awaited the onslaught. He had not long
to wait. The door of his room was forced
open. Mason struck match and peered
around the room till his eyes were fixed
upon Abraham.
Don't come near me or you may get
what you're not expecting, said Abraham,
but with an oath they rushed upon him,
Mason leading Abraham jabbed his knife
into Mason's stomach, and slashed him in
the shoulder, and he staggered back.
O'Connor took his place, and in a twink
ling he was cut twice in the chest and
once in the back. He reeled back, and
Mason, whose blood was up, again rushed
at Abraham. Mason struck him in the
mouth, but Abraham got in four more
cuts on his opponents arms and body be-
fore he could strike another blow, and he
collapsed.
Those behind were eagerly pushing for
ward and a third made rush at Abra-
hams. One cut settled him and the six
beat hasty retreat. O'Connor was taken
to drugstore by Mccarthy and afterward
to the Receiving Hospital, where DR.. Bush
nell dressed his wounds.
Mason was found on Sixth and Howard
streets by Policemen Meehan and H. FL.
Murphy and sent to the hospital in the
patrol wagon, where his wounds were also
dressed. He lost an immense quantity OF
blood. Neither he nor O'Connor is dan
gerously wounded.

AS MEXICAN COMMISSIONERS.
Return of Yice-ConsuI Owyang and
Others From That Country.


King Owyang, Vice-Consul for China in
this city, and fellow commissioners, who
last July went to Mexico, returned here
last Saturday night
Eyes we have got back, said the Vice
Consul last night, ''after an absence of
nearly eight months. There were four of
us, Ii Yung Yew, ex-Consul- General to
San Francisco, Yu Shi Wi, ex-Consul to
Havana, Fong Wing Shun, an attache, and
l. Our mission to Mexico was to examine
that country with a view to forming a
treaty between that country and China,
providing, of course, it is agreeable to the
representative of each country.
I'VE prepared a report of what we saw
and heard. This we Forwarded to the Chi
nese legation at Washington, which in
turn will forward it to the home Govern
ment. What our report is l am not at
liberty to disclose.
What do l think of the Mexican people
and their country? The people l found
very nice, particularly in the City of Mex
leo, and not at all antagonistic to people of
China. The country in many parts is very
fertile, and 1 should say can be made very
productive. AS a whole | am faYorablY

warm, and at one time I suffered from an
attack of malaria, but soon recovered from
the effects of that"
During the forenoon large number of
the friends Of the Vice-Consul called at the
consulate on Stockton street to pay their
respects and congratulate him on his safe
return. In the evening he was invited out
to dinner.

DISHONEST MERCHANTS.
st. Luke's Rector's View on Tricks of
the Trade.

st. Luke's Rector's View on Tricks OF
the Trade.
Rev. William II. Moreland, rector of St.
Luke's Church, took Moses as his subject
yesterday, and made a strong appeal to
business men to let conscience rule in
money affairs. He described the dazzling
prospects of Moses in the Egyptian court,
all of which he sacrificed rather than go
on pretending to be the son Of Pharoah' s
daughter. His account of the boldness with
which Moses declared himself and stripped
off the trappings of Egypt, that his
conscience might be free, was dramatic.
He said
"Moses was 40 years old when he took
this stand. When a man gets to be 40,
and is still vacillating between truth and
falsehood, he will be a weakling to the end
of the chapter. Religion is not thing of
hymns and harps and white robes here
after. 1t is to follow conscience at what
ever cost. Follow the right, and you are a
religious man.
Zone reason why some men are not re-
hgious is because of the demand 1t makes
upon their conscience. Religion means If
there is deceit in business, or in personal
life, it must be sacrificed. No Christian
would adulterate his goods. 1t is lie to
advertise one quality of goods in letters
six inches long and give an inferior one at
the store. The name of the merchant
which is on his letter-heading, or which
the customer carries out of the store on the
wrapper, ought to be guarantee of hon
esty."
Mr.. Moreland told several incidents
which illustrated his text, and paid high
tribute to women, who were more religious

FAREWELL TO 10. A. HENRY
The ORATOR SPEAKS FOR THE
LAST TIME AT METROPOLI-
TAN TEMPLE.
He SAYS He NEVER SHIRKED Re-
SPoNsIBILITY Nor FAILED TO
Do His DUTY.

The farewell reception to the Rev. J. @. A.
Henry at Metropolitan Hall yesterday
afternoon was largely attended. The plat
form was draped with flags and decorated
with flowers. The meeting was under the
auspices of the Good Citizens Com
mittee.
FL. w. Outflow presided, and in his open
ing address spoke of the feeling of regret

Rev. DR.. Gates led in prayer and Miss
Underwood sang 1.-THE First Gun Is

The Rev. Ray Palmer of Stockton was in
troduced and made pleasing address. He
spoke of Mr.. Henry as hero and said that
they could not form an estimate of his
work.
THE temple which we are endeavoring
to erect" he said, sis as wide as the CONT
nent, and while we are working in our
humble way on this side we will be con-
soled with the thought that our brother is
laboring on the other side. There can be

Misses Phelps and Johnson rendered a
duet and the speaker of the day stepped to
the front OF the platform and was given an
ovation.

exceedingly that in the province of God
am forced to sever my connection with YOU.
But Gods will must be done. ! wish to
record myself, however, as approaching to
the fullest measure your kindness and sup
port during the last year"
Mr.. Henry here spoke of the manner in
which he had been criticized. He said that
man was criticized if he did nothing or
did something, and he had made up his
mind long ago to fight for humanity, re-
CARELESS of public opinion. He did not
propose to listen to any criticism.

speaker, "if it had not been for your kind
ness and loyalty and protection l think
would have shirked the responsibility and
the duty"
Mr.. Henry spoke at length of the begin
ming and growth of the movement which
had occupied his time during the last year
and closed by assuring his hearers of his
great devotion.
A series OF resolutions were then read
and the meeting adjourned.

than men because more ready to listen to
conscience, and more willing to endure
self-denial for the sake of right.
when man says | leave church-going
to my wife and daughters, he is paying a
magnificent compliment to woman.
Woman is religious because of the splendor
of her nature, her innate purity, her te-
nacity of purpose. Success in life is not
measured by the bauble of wealth or posi-
ton. The man who grows rich at the ex-
pense of conscience, by bribe-taking or
mean tricks of trade, may be called sue
cessful tradesman, or politician, or public
functionary, but he cannot be called man.
Christ is the guiding star of man's life.
Only by following him can ones foot be
safe amid the treacherous sands of COM
mercial life"

morning on Conditions of Discipleship"
He said: "Christ presented to the rich
young ruler the scrlptural and only
rational conditions OF discipleship. Pro-
testant and Catholic, with the single ex
ception of the Quakers, who discard the
ordinances of baptism and the Lords sup
per as requirements to Christian life,
have added to these. A life spent in
thinking of nothing but self is pitifuI.
"There is nothing in Christ that NAV be
refused. There should be nothing in us from
which he may be excluded. Discipleship
is usefulness. There ought to be in every
man ar element of usefulness. No man
can rise to the full capacity of his useful
ness the moment he is converted, any
more than bird can fly the moment he is
born.
even the most perfect discipleship
will show uneyenness, Just as the milky
way, at some places where revolving
worlds, like dust of silver, are more thickly
strewn upon the blue, exhibits a glory
that excelleth. God loves lmperfection, on
its way toward perfection. He loves ignor-
ance that is seeking to become knowledge,
and weakness that is striving to strengthen
itself, and everything that is working to-
ward something higher and purer and
nobler.
religion is not the weakening of self.
nor is it the despising of lands and values
and faculties. DlsclpleShp Is over all of
these, sitting above them, as rider in the
saddle and holding the rein. All are ser
