Ons to BE Drawn and Laid Before tn.
Albuquerque Meeting.
Los Angeles, Cal, Aug. 3-Secretary
Allies of the national committee Of the
irrigation congress, says that q bill sim
liar to the Wright act, which was re-
Gently declared unconstitutional, will be
presented for approval at the congress
to be held in September In Albuquer-
que. Since the recent decision of Judge
Ross on the validity of the matter in
question, there has been great deal Of
correspondence between people Of the
country Interested in irrigation.
1t is expected that at the coming con-
gress an act will be prepared with n
view to having 1t adopted in as many Of
the states of the arid West as may be.
1t will be drawn in some respects like
the present Wright irrigation law, but
will have eliminated from 1t such feat
ures as would probably cause the courts
to decide against its validity.

BIG VICTORY FOR THE MINERS.
Every Demand Has Bssn Granted by tn"
Operators.


Pittsburg, Pa, Aug. 3.-The biggest
victory ever made by organized labor
was won to-day in Pittsburg by the
miners. Almost every demand was
granted and the operators have writ
ten guarantee for the fulfillment Of the
contract to the 10000 miners in Penn
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Illinois.
The terms of agreement are that the
present rate of wages shall continue in
force until October /, when every op-
orator in the Pittsburg district will
pay the present rate with diferen-
tial Of five cents in favor of operators
who do not have company stores. The
agreement further provides for another
advance on January 1. 1t is understood
the rate will then be made seventy
nine cents. Above all w. 2. Dearmott,
who has whipped the miners at every
turn heretofore, has been brought over
and will pay the sixty-five-cent rate, as
he does not wish the company stores
to run. The effect of this settlement is
to advance the mining rate in Ohio and
Indiana from fifty-One to sixty cents.
1t also helps the rate in Illinois and
brings the strike there to an end. 1t
also changes the end Of the scale year
from April 30 to January 1. This is
the first time a differential has ever
been granted against company stores,
and 1t is expected it will result in hav-
ing all of them abolished. An evidence
of this came to-day, when w. P. Rend
Of Chicago offered to abolish the COM
pany stores at Reisig, Pennsylvania.
and agreed to loan the miners enough
to operate it on cooperative basis.
AS another result Of the compromise
the operators propose to frame Il new
association on different lines from the
old and each operator in the district
will be member.
Practically all the credit for the vic
tory Is being given to Secretary Pat
Mcbride, who mapped out the entire
campaign.

New York, Aug. 5.-The silver men
are laying a good deal of stress on the
fact that the Bank Of France, in its
weekly statement, shows a steady de-
crease in its gold holdings. 1t Is noted
that as the Bank of France began to ac-
cumulate gold, 1t let its silver hoidings
decline, and now reverse process is
going on. 1t is also noted that the Bank
Of Frances movements in the past have
generally been In advance Of the other
nations.
The fact that silver is being used by

strong belief that as the consumption Of

AT TEMPLE EMANUEL.

DR.. Voorsanger Spoke EloQuently on
Philosophy's Fatallsm.
The Day of Atonement was duly and
i'm press lively observed at the Temple
EMANUEL. A grand service of music and
song was arranged for the occasion, and in
its executi on nothing was left to be de-
sired. DR.. Voorsanger's sermon was ex-
&c edingly eloquent, logical and impressive.
The Day OF Atonement being the great
day in the church calendar of the Jewish
year. the temple was taxed to its utmost
to accommodate the devout of the denomt-
nation.
The music was specially arranged by E.
j. Stark, including appropriate applca-
ton of the "Kolnidre Melody" the lode
to Cod" the former being arranged for
the violin, harp, cello, flute and organ
accompaniment. The soloists were Miss
Daisy Cohen, J. Wilcox, M. Jones, J. G..
Hughes and other well-known vocalists of
this City. The musical service concluded
with the "Jigdal," arranged on the plan
of the traditional melody.
Rev: Mr.. Voorsanger's sermon on the
text taken from Job vii:20 about the
searching for God without the proper
spirit, was a masterful effort. He demon
strated that in the grand plan of mans
existence as put forth by God there is a
higher purpose in existence than that out
lined by fatalism. Man in his cody spirit
is able to direct his development and mold
his spiritual destiny without reference to
the fatalistic trend of philosophical
thought

the fearful hand-to-hand encounter with the
world, often the nearest and dearest arrayed
against each other for the booty OF earthly
wealth.
After period of warfare the matured youth
full warrior calls for temporary truce. He
steps out of the ranks, exchanges the spear OF
war for the dart of love, kindles the fire OF
domestic happiness, and with a chosen COM
panion for life erects citadel he calls his
home. Then the cares of parent succeed, and
the man rapidly natures. But he meets re-
verses, troubles and yicissitudes, and ii he
keeps his eye fixed arlght he conquers and

Then comes old age with all its lntrmltles
The power and vigor begin to fail, the hand
loses its cunning and the eye its luster, the
hair turns white, and you come to the thresh-
old of the grave, and then-then what? When
my father and mother forsake me, when my
span of earthly life is nearly gone; when all
aid us, then, o beloved truth, ''the Lord taketh
thee up"
Though winds and waters rage and foam,
Though darkness towers like Egypt's night,
Here peace and safety find home;
In this small Goshen there Is light.
Thus built upon eternal truth,
Hgh in mid heaven, DER land and sea,
Gods house holds forth to age and youth,
A beacon and sanctuary.
And during all this life the synagogue-the
house of the Lord, the house of prayers our
true abiding home. Her common faith, her
true fellowship, her divine grace, her all
embracing charity, her pever-daunted hope,
her ceaseless support, her avenues to and CON-

his soul, it tells HIM that while God is the
God of Judgment he is also Father of
mercy" said the preacher. This proved
fitting introduction for discourse on the
great Hebrew holiday, and Mr.. Levy con-
tinued:
And in this day of all days in the year when
God deigns in his own still small voice to as
sure YOU that if your sins be as scarlet they
shall become white as snow, is the great truth
which this service recalls, and there is not one
of US to whom God has not spoken, is not
speaking in this still small voice. This voice
then, speaking in the name of God, brings us
all, not into personal, but into spiritual COM
munion with God There are seasons when we
most solemnly feel that God is in contact with
us.
The speaker said further in this connec-
ton that not in seasons of sickness, of
death, of famine, does God come so near as
when by the "still small voice. he speaks
to the soul and reveals himself to the SIN

sponsive music like the soft breath of the

BUT ONE FAvoRITE IN FRONT.
Backed Down From so to g to /,
Phyllis Took the Opening
Race in a Drive.

Ordinarily when outsiders win at race
track the pencilers are generally supposed
TO have enjoyed prosperous day, but not
so at the Bay District yesterday. The card
was the best of the meeting and there was
an increased attendance in consequence.
With the exception of Wheel of Fortune,
who won the last race at odds on, the first
choices were all slaughtered. The big sur
prise of the day was the win of Phyllis in
the first race, who was backed down from
90 to to l, and sharing fairly well at the
starters unique start, unique from the fact
that when the flag sent the twelve young
sters away they were strung out like black
BIRDS on rail, won driving from another
long-priced outsider. Two well-known
turfmen are said to have taken over $4,000
out of the ring over the filly's victory.
By long odds the best contest of the day
was the six-furlong handicap, for which
Duchess of Towers ruled decidedly strong
9 to 10 choice. Mainstay at tours, Sport
McAllister at fves and McLight with
Fights about him, were all well supported
in the betting. The start to the race was a
perfect one, the horses going away on a
line when the flag fell. Eddie Jones, on
Mainstay. at once took the lead, with the
big chestnut Sport McAllister, and the
Duchess at his heels McLight also being
dangerously close. The quartet swung
into the stretch almost abreast, Mainstay
still having a slight advantage. The
Duchess and Sport grew tired of the hot
pace, giving away in favor of McLight.

A BAD BIRD TO K|DNAP.
How Mrs. JanSen'S Parrot
Caused the Arrest of
Archie Long.
A Very Lively Scene on East Street
When the San Rafael Passen-
gers We're Leaving.

Archie Long was locked up in the Harbor
Police station last evening and charges of
petty larceny, battery and vulgar language
were placed opposite his name. The pris-
oner is a well-known character, and there
was almost riot before he was arrested.
His friends rallied to his support, and had
1t not been for the assistance of the men
employed in Chambers coalyard he would
have escaped.
Mrs. Nels Jansen, who lives on East
street, near Clay, is the owner of parrot
that is the envy and admiration of the
whole neighborhood. 1t can sing "And
her golden hair was hanging down her
back" "Rock-a-bye, baby" sally in our
alley, +" "Oh, there were three Jolly, jolly
sailor boys" and half dozen other tunes.
1t can also repeat quite number of
phrases, which Long found out to his
sorrow.
Long crept up the back stairway of the
Jansen home and grabbed the cage and
bird He attempted to make runaway
of it, but Polly took another view of the
case She began shrieking, "Stop thief
Stop thiefT and soon had Mrs. Jansen on
the scene. She attempted to rescue the
bird, but Long made his escape into the
street, with the bird still crying stop
thiefr' Officer Horrigan heard the cries,
and al once made for the scene of the dis
turbance.
By the time he arrived on the scene
quite crowd had collected, and Longs
friends had rallied to his support The
passengers for the P. NJ. boats for Sausa-
Ito and San Rafael were on their way to
the ferries, and it was only few moments
before an immense crowd was collected.
Horrigan attempted to handcuff his man,
and a free fight ensued. during which the
policeman was roughly handled. While
the melee was going on, Mrs. Jansen Sc
cured her parrot and made her way out of
the crowd, the bird calling, Polly wants
cracker" during the passage:
Horrfgan was getting decidedly the
worst of the fight when he bethought him
of his whistle and blew vigorously on it.
The carriers employed in Chambers yard
responded, and roueh-and-tumble fight
ensned. The gang finally escaped, but
Horrigan held on to Archie and landed
him in the police station.

Rabbi Freyer on the Meaning of the
Holy Time.
There was an immense audience at the
Bush-street synagogue Of the congregation
Ohabai Shalome last evening. Many stood
in the aisles and vestibule. The choir, con-
sisting of Mrs. Eva Tenney and Mrs. B.
Barnett, sopranos; Mrs. ]. w. Madden
and Miss Ella Gallagher, altos; D. NJ. Law
renee and W. M. Simonsen, tenors; G. J..
Parent and W. V. Strunz, bassos, sang ex-
quisitely the anthem, Father. 1 Pray to
Thee" After the formal kol nitre service
Rabbi julius Freyer discoursed upon the
day and the true spirit of the observance
of it. He said:
Real fasting is not done from any Interior
motive. There should be no material consider
alton underlying it. 1t should be an honest
reconciliation of self with self. He is greatly
in error who fasts with some special, temporal
purpose in view. So also is he who thinks he
has outgrown this old-fashioned conciliatory
act.
Sins against man are more grievous than
sins against God. A wrong toward a fellow
man cannot be set right until it has been adj
justed by repentance aud atonement to the
person wronged. But there cannot be sin and
repentance and sin and repentance again with
out the punishment of loss Of the power to
repent. o Israelites! the observance of this
day does not free you from the sins of the
year as many believe. That is wrong con-
ception or the divinity of this sublime day.
Our long suffering God forgives misdeeds, but
they must first be atoned for. He who desires
to be friend of God must first be friend Of
his fellowman.
Judaism is averse to saintship. 1t believes
that every one is sinful and no one is clean be-
fore God. Be consistent and honest Jews in
spirit and practice. II you are guilty of wrong
toward any man seek him out, and in humble
and contrite spirit confess your wrong, and do
not leave him until you have been forgiven.
